"Hey, I can finally eat cake!"

In the courtyard, little Ziyuan, who was running around just now, came to the white jade table with an excited expression, staring closely at the thirteen-layer cake on the table.

Hinata immediately moved her little head back in a state of confusion to avoid accidentally hitting the corner of the white jade table.

"How were the fireworks today?!"

"This has been carefully prepared for a long time!"

A warm and proud voice sounded, and the miko Maitreya came over with a smile on her face.

Hinata raised her head instantly and said with some aftertaste: "Great!"

"This is the happiest and most surprising birthday I have had in more than ten years."

Maitreya still wanted to speak, but a gaze was already quietly staring at her.

Turning around, Kaguya was looking at the cake idly, with the cutter dangling in her hand, as if she was wondering where to start cutting.

Maitreya smiled, turned around and walked to the side, taking Xiao Ziyuan away with him.

This made Xiao Ziyuan, who wanted to eat cake, very dissatisfied.

Hei Jue was also keenly aware that something was wrong with the atmosphere. He leaned back and his sense of presence began to decrease crazily and actively.

Hinata glanced at these unloyal guys for a moment, coughed slightly, walked forward, and said softly.

"Grandma, let me cut the cake."

Kaguya raised her head, with a gentle smile on her face, and said abruptly: "Are you satisfied with today's birthday party?"

Hinata was silent for a moment, looked solemn, and blurted out: "Satisfied! Of course I am satisfied!"

"Grandma, you have done so much for my birthday party, how can I be dissatisfied!"

If he answered wrongly at this time, he might die on the spot.

Kaguya nodded, a look of satisfaction flashed on her face, and she said softly: "Go and call them all back, they all have to share the cake, why come so far!"

Hinata thought to herself for a moment: "If they had not run away just now, grandma, you might not have been able to throw away the knife in your hand right then and there."

Anyone can see that Kaguya was in a slightly bad mood just now.

Hinata spread her senses instantly and soon found three figures in the hall.

The fluctuations in the space were motionless, and the sun instantly merged into the space.

When he appeared again, he was already in the hall.

"Don't run away, grandma asked me to come over and call you to share the cake!"

Looking at the two people in the hall, Hinata rolled her eyes for a moment.

You must be too timid.

Thinking back then, he had committed countless deaths in front of Princess Kaguya, and even the most painful one was just a beating.

Little Shion ran over happily, pulled Hinata Setsuna's sleeve, and said aggrievedly: "Brother Setsuna, Shion wants to eat cake."

She hadn't even eaten the cake yet, and Maitreya had just taken her away.

I felt extremely aggrieved in my heart.

Hinata Setsuna held Shion's little hand, raised her eyes to look at Miroku and Black Zetsu, and said angrily.

"You guys should come over quickly."

"If you're late and something goes wrong, I don't care."

As soon as he finished speaking, he and Ziyuan were enveloped by space fluctuations and disappeared into the main hall.

Hei Jue touched his chin, turned around and said, "Then we will discuss our previous plans later."

Maitreya said with a soft smile on his face and hints of warning in his eyes.

"Although I can personally make the decision on this matter, you must first obtain Setsuna's consent."

"Otherwise, I will not agree to your plan!"

Hei Jue nodded helplessly and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely seek Setsuna's consent in advance for this matter."

"Without his consent, I will definitely not continue with this plan."

After saying that, Hei Jue used the floating technique to escape into the ground and disappear.

In the main hall of Noda, Maitreya stood alone, with a hint of distress in his eyes.

It is hard to imagine that Maitreya, as a shrine maiden, would have such troubles.

In the hearts of the people of the Kingdom of Ghosts, Maitreya, who has the power to predict the future, should be as aloof as a god without any worries.

But the fact is that in recent years, Maitreya has rarely used his ability to predict the future.

Not just for the future inheritance of his daughter Ziyuan.

What's more important is what Hinata Setsuna said back then.

"Those who play with fate will surely be played with by fate!"

This sentence had a great impact on Maitreya.

So much so that except for using her ability to predict the future when necessary, she would not actively use it at all other times.

"well."

Looking at the empty hall in front of him, Maitreya sighed sadly.

"Destiny...what will it be..."

After the words fell, Maitreya's figure also slowly walked away from the hall.

…………………………

The entrance to the manor.

After Saying goodbye to Maitreya and his daughter, Hinata Setsuna turned around and came to the courtyard.

And in the previously bustling courtyard, now Hei Jue was the only one left.

"moment."

Hei Jue said hello and asked.

"Have Maitreya and the others left already?"

Hinata nodded instantly, sat down next to him, and said.

"You came to me today not just for the birthday party."

"Do you have anything else to ask me about?"

Hei Jue paused and said.

"I really can't hide anything from you."

"In addition to coming over to celebrate your birthday this time, I do have something else to discuss with you."

Hinata nodded noncommittally and raised her eyes to indicate to Black Zetsu to continue speaking.

Hei Jue put down the desserts and cakes in his hands and asked with a slightly solemn expression.

"When...are you going to leave Konoha Village!"

The atmosphere in the courtyard quickly fell silent with the emergence of this question.

The subtext of this question is not about leaving Konoha Village on the surface, but when to defect to Konoha Village.

After a long time, Hinata raised her head and said calmly.

"Soon."

Hearing this, Black Zetsu glanced at Hinata Setsuna with deep meaning.

He also knew that Hinata Setsuna's feelings towards the Leaf Village were somewhat complicated.

Therefore, he was not prepared to interfere in this matter, leaving everything to Hinata Setsuna himself to decide.

Skipping this heavy topic, Hei Jue asked.

"The division of the Hyuga family and the conflict between the main family must have reached a point of breaking out recently, right?"

Hinata glanced at him briefly and said thoughtfully.

"The old guys from the Zong family have been suppressing me for several years. The people in the branch family are naturally extremely dissatisfied."

"If Hyuga Yusuke and I hadn't come forward to stop it, I'm afraid the people in the separated family would have collectively exploded."

"When it comes to the branch family and the clan, Hei Jue, what do you want to do?"

Hei Jue said with a smile on his face.

"Now that the conflict between the Hyuga branch family and the main family has reached a point of no return."

"Then, why don't we take action to separate them and take them away from Konoha Village."
