Hyuga Yuzuru, who has never been a fan of big things, and even went out on a mission, has not celebrated his birthday in two years. This year's birthday was relatively low-key.
"You mean, you plan to use the open space in front of the ancestral hall to hold a banquet?"
Hyuga Hizashi was stunned by the news about Hizashi. The Hyuga clan rarely held large-scale ceremonies. Unlike the Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan rarely held gatherings of its own. Due to the division of the clan, there were also very few
A large banquet will be held.
How many people does Hizashi plan to invite to attend Hinata Yuzuru's birthday?
The first reaction was that he was slightly unhappy. After all, even his biological daughter Hinata had never had such a grand birthday.
The year Hinata was born happened to be right after the Nine-Tails Rebellion. In order to keep a low profile, he didn't even have a proper birthday party, but simply held a banquet at home to celebrate.
But then I thought about it. At such a young age, Hyuga Yuzuru had already not celebrated his birthday at home for two years because he was performing tasks in ANBU. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Thinking about it carefully, he had treated their family a lot badly over the years, and when he thought of Ning
Ci's head was about to be carved with a caged bird, so he sighed and agreed to Hizashi's plan.
Nizu felt very guilty towards Hinata Hizashi, just because he also had some small thoughts in his heart that could not be put on the table - he did not want his children to be separated.
Even if the first child born is a girl, Hinata Hinata has already thought about it. If Hinata can be used in a big way, she will not have any more children. In this way, Hinata will inherit the status of the head of her clan and have reason to avoid the clan.
There is no way to avoid the tragedy of brotherly rebellion happening to your own children.
He even thought that even if he gave birth to two children, with Hizashi and Yuzuru working in separate families, why would he need his own children...
"I agree." Hinata Hizu sighed and said softly.
Hinata Hizashi smiled, looked at Hizu, and said softly: "Thank you very much, Mr. Patriarch. If possible, I would like to invite the clan members in the evening..."
"Aren't you afraid that they will mess up your birthday?" Hinata Hizu frowned.
But I saw Hinata Hizashi saying softly: "No matter what, we are all one family. If you want to come, you can come. If you don't want to come, just don't come."
"Forget it, you can figure it out yourself... As long as I'm here, they won't cause trouble for you."
Rizu didn't think much about it, and for the sake of brotherly love and Hinata Yuzuru, he agreed.
But when Hizashi left, he thought about it, but felt vaguely uneasy. He couldn't say what felt wrong, but he always felt that he seemed to have missed something. He sat quietly in the room and sipped tea for a long time, but still quietly
Get up and go find Elder Ri Xianghui.
When they arrived at Hyuga Teru's house, this old man who treated Hyuga Yuzuru extremely harshly was lying relaxedly on the rocking chair, teasing his great-grandson - it was unimaginable that this elder's great-grandson was already two years old.
.
Hinata Hizashi and Hinata Teru entered the house.
After explaining the whole story, Ri Xianghui showed no surprise on his face, just a sneer as expected.
Hinata Hui's voice of hatred interrupted Hinata Hizu's narration. Hinata Hui sat next to Hinata Hizu, the anger on his expression was not concealed at all.
"It's simply treasonous."
Hinata Hui snorted coldly and slapped a hand on the table: "Hyuga Yuzuru already has a good reputation in the branch family, and Hizashi also won many hearts in the branch family because of the so-called 'brothers fighting against each other' drama.
With such behavior, what do you think of our clan?
The reason why the Uchiha clan has fallen to this point is related to their publicity. For an ordinary birthday, such a grand event, for those who don't know, they thought it was some big happy event for the Hyuga clan!
Hizu, Hyuga Yuzuru handles this matter like this, the clan is fearful to everyone!
What's more, don't you know that Hyuga Yuzuru had spread the news more than half a month ago, and except for a very few members of the branch family who were still outside and could not come back, almost all the branch families responded to his call, and even for this
One day when he was on shift outside, just to free up his schedule for the day, even the Hokage knew about his birthday and sent someone to send birthday gifts early. This momentum..."
"Naruto!? When?"
Hinata Hizu was stunned for a moment, and then saw Hinata Hui angrily yelling: "You haven't woken up yet!
Do you really think that as long as there is a caged bird, everything will be safe? If my son hadn't happened to see Kakashi visiting in the name of the third generation this morning, I'm afraid you wouldn't even know how many people come to your home every day!"
Only then did Hinata Rizu realize that things were not as simple as he thought. He frowned and was shocked.
Perhaps because of his inertial thinking, he never thought that the Zong family would have to worry about the day when the family would be separated. Thinking about it carefully, the guards on duty at the door and the ninjas on duty are now all people from the separate family. The Zong family has no control over the family.
, has gradually become completely restricted to caged birds.
This momentum is not a good thing.
What's more, he and Hinata Hizashi "cooperated" to play Zhou Yu's game against Huang Gai. As the conflicts between the clan families accumulated over time, thinking about it carefully, he actually only had a few chats except Hizashi and Yuzuru.
The Separation Ninja is quite familiar with it.
Not to mention anything else, it is no small matter that someone from the separated family actually arranged a shift with the Hokage in advance and specially came to participate in Hinata Yuzuru's mission.
With shock and doubt in his heart, Hinata Rizu turned to look at Hinata Hui and said in a deep voice: "Since Elder Hui knows about this..."
"Don't refuse easily." Ri Xianghui sighed, showing helplessness.
He did not go to Hinata Hizu, but waited for him to come to him, because when he discovered this, he knew that it would be difficult to stop it.
If the birthday banquet was ordered to be suspended, not to mention what Hyuga Hizashi and his son would think, other members of the branch family might not be able to accept it.
If this matter had just been suppressed when it first appeared, it would not have mattered. You know what I know, and this matter will not have much consequences. But now all the branch families, and even the people of the clan have been sent invitations in an open and honest manner.
, and if you try to stop it, it will be a slap in the face, and you are not a good person.
Ever since he noticed that the situation was not good, he asked someone to secretly inquire about it. The atmosphere within the family he found out made him shudder.
If the Zong family's arrogance continues to rise, how can the split family sit idly by? If the conflicts between the two sides are really brought to the table and intensified, I'm afraid things will get out of control.
"But after this matter, we must pay more attention to it." Ri Xianghui said his plan.
His beard and hair were all white, and he gently pinched his beard with a ruthless look on his face: "Those who break up the family should be beaten, and those in the clan should also be severely punished. The conflicts between the two sides must be cooled down.
Hizashi should not stay at home all the time. Lian Xian went out to do missions. As the pillar of the branch family, he had not been heard of going out to do missions for a long time.
Before we old bones can no longer walk, various positions must be adjusted, and we can no longer allow divisions to grow."
Hinata and Hinata felt sad.
I think back in those days, there were only one member of the clan, but they could control the entire Hyuga clan. However, now that there are more and more clan members, the atmosphere of the whole clan is getting worse with regard to their control over the clan.
Sometimes a bold idea pops into his mind.
If we take into account the clan members who have accumulated a long lineage of elders...
Why.
Hinata Hizu's heart felt cold, and he nodded dejectedly: "Just as the elder said, will Elder Hui go to today's dinner?"
"Go, of course."
Ri Xianghui snorted: "Not only am I going, but other elders are also going. As for the clan members, as long as they have free time, they will also go, but they must be told in advance not to conflict with people from the branch family.
He likes face, so he gives enough face so that the people in the branch family cannot find fault, and then uses this matter to cause trouble for him, which can be regarded as being polite first and fighting later."
Hyuga Hizashi nodded and stood up. He didn't want to talk more. He didn't know where the Hyuga clan should go, but he couldn't change the status quo. Unless he was willing to change the system, this matter would be an eternal conflict for the Hyuga clan.
The only thing we can do is to make amends. Fortunately, there is a caged bird, so we are not afraid of big mistakes.
Caged bird... If there were no caged bird, what would be the current situation of the Hyuga clan?
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Hinata Hizu walked out of Elder Hyuga Teru's house and wandered around the family for the first time in a long time. He said he was just wandering around, but in fact he made up his mind to see with his own eyes what the current atmosphere in the clan was like.
Unsurprisingly, the atmosphere among most people in the Zong family was not peaceful.
"Hizu-sama, Master Yuzuru really wants to hold a big birthday party at the ancestral hall?"
Some ninjas from the clan came to ask questions.
After getting a positive reply from Hizu, he kept a calm face and bowed respectfully before leaving. However, Hinata Hizu didn't need to think too much. Behind the scenes, he must be very dissatisfied with this matter.
He walked slowly around the area of the Zong family. The quiet atmosphere made him sigh unconsciously, and then turned back to the residential area of the branch family. The atmosphere there was completely different from that of the Zong family.
The closest place on both sides was only a few meters apart, but Hinata and Hinata vaguely felt as if they had arrived at another Hyuga clan. There was a lot of people, and it seemed to be even more lively than during the New Year.
"Good morning, Patriarch."
The family members who were having a pleasant conversation suddenly froze their smiles when they saw him, and hurriedly put on serious expressions to say hello, which only made Hinata and Hinashi feel their interest waned.
He was like an uninvited guest, an outsider.
"It doesn't matter, you continue." He said without giving up, but found that someone in the separated family seemed to be deliberately delivering the news. After a while, the originally lively atmosphere in the separated family became much quieter. Walking on the road, there was no one standing there.
The separated families were laughing and chatting with each other on the roadside.
Even though those people were still gathered together in twos and threes, they deliberately lowered their voices when speaking, and there was no smile on their faces. They just said hello respectfully and politely, without any disrespect... but they were not intimate at all.
I vaguely remember that when I first took office, the atmosphere was not like this.
Then I leave?
Hinata left the branch house frustrated.
After he left, not long after, the atmosphere in the separated family returned to normal.
What's all this?
Hinata Hizashi returned home angrily, and realized that he had made a mistake. He and Hinata Hizashi played a brother-in-law drama, which seemed to be a bit infuriating. It was originally to deal with the Hokage, but if this matter continued, it might backfire on him.
I haven't seen the suppression from the Hokage lineage. It's OK that I've ruined myself. I need to restrain myself.
Hinata Hinashi was thinking about it, and when he returned home, he passed by the martial arts gym at home and saw Hinata.
This little girl got up early and was sweating in the martial arts gym. Her immature arms and legs were in good shape, but Hinata and Hinata frowned.
Far worse than Yuzuru.
He carefully recalled Hinata Yuzuru's progress, feeling vaguely horrified in his heart. He didn't feel anything at the time, but when he had a child, he saw Hinata's progress little by little with his own eyes. He also thought back to those days, comparing Hinata to him when he was a child.
This is already considered good progress.
But compared with Hyuga Yuzuru, his talent is simply stupid. Not to mention that he only mastered it at the age of fifteen. Even the most basic soft fist, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, he may not be as proficient as Hyuga Yuzuru.
.
At first, because Hyuga Yuzuru was thin and had the appearance of a child, his proficiency in skills could not cover up his physical disadvantages, so he appeared to be 'normal'. But now, where does he look 'normal'!?
He is only eight years old now, and looks about the size of an ordinary ten-year-old child. If he is eleven or twelve years old in another two years, his physical fitness will not be much inferior to that of an average adult as a teenager.
This adult refers to an adult ninja.
Not to mention, Hinata Yuzuru's chakra level was secretly seen with his Byakugan.
He actually already has full jounin level.
If he were fifteen or sixteen years old, what level would his chakra level be?
Isn't it a shadow...
Hinata Hizu shivered.
Movie level!?
Hinata Hinata's heart is like a turbulent sea. A teenage boy can have a shadow-level chakra alone. What is the concept?
They are from the Hyuga clan, and their physical fitness is barely acceptable, but in terms of chakra, it is rare in the clan.
"Am I Yuzuru's opponent now?"
This idea popped into Hinata Hizashi's head, and he couldn't get rid of it. He stood at the door of the martial arts hall with a serious face, and the more he thought about it, the worse his face became.
The level Yuzuru showed a few years ago was amazing enough. If his progress rate remains unchanged, I'm afraid now...
Impossible, right?
He was a little restless.
The edge is on the back.
Licking his lips that had become dry at some point, Hinata returned home in silence and sat there, thinking about something in his mind.
As for the separation of families, it is a different situation at the moment.
...
"Spring, long time no see!"
The hearty laughter and hugs made the usually quiet Hinata a little uncomfortable in spring, but he still showed a gentle and honest smile: "Wada, Shiro is back too?"
"Then can you not come back? He left ANBU two years ago just for today...can he have a good rest?"
Hinata Wada laughed.
The two looked at each other tacitly, and hooked an arm around Hinata Wada's neck.
Hinata's shirt poked his face out from the side: "I heard someone calling me..."
"What did you do this morning?" Hinata Wada gave him an elbow.
Hinata's brows raised: "No, didn't you prepare a birthday gift for Master Yuzuru?"
As soon as these words came out, except for Hinata Shan, the other two people stayed on the spot as if they were petrified.
For the clan family, this is a birthday, but how could they not know that this is just a cover and a reason to gather people together, full of enthusiasm, anxiety, and excitement, how can they remember that today
It's really Hinata Yuzuru's birthday, so she has to give her a gift.
"Hehe." Hinata Shirt smiled contentedly. Unlike these two guys, he had thought about this in advance, and now he has already bought a birthday gift.
"Tell me, what did you buy!?" Hinata Wada grabbed his arm with a pale expression, but Hinata Shirt ran away laughing.
Hinata Wada was anxious: "My batch of wine has been buried for two years."
"Oh?" Hinata Shan stopped and stared at him with a half-smile.
Hinata Wada gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand: "Half for each person."
"Deal." Hinata Shiro laughed.
Hinata Chunxiang smiled quietly and watched the excitement on the spot, but Hinata Shan grabbed his neck: "You will come too when the time comes, and you won't come back until you're drunk!"
"Okay, my wife's grilled shredded squid is excellent." Hinata nodded heavily in spring.
Several people chatted in a very relaxed atmosphere, but they could see a firm fighting spirit in each other's eyes.
Some separated family members who did not know the truth also fell into a festive and cheerful atmosphere.
"It's really rare that people from separated families can gather together like this."
Some people were surprised.
"This is Master Yuzuru's birthday."
Some people take it for granted.
And where is the protagonist of this birthday?
"Hey, ew."
Kaoru made a soft sound of exerting force, and was currently in Hinata Yuzuru's room, tightening the waist of his kimono.
Hinata Yuzuru looked at herself in the mirror quietly.
It was probably because the return of life made his body develop much faster than ordinary people. At this moment, in just half a year, he had grown more than half his head and was already 1.6 meters tall.
He is slightly inferior to Hinata Kaoru, who is over 1.6 meters tall, but not much worse. Especially his face, which has lost its youthfulness and is full of youthful handsomeness.
If he didn't introduce himself, no matter who looked at him, he would be a handsome young man of eleven or twelve years old. How can you imagine that this is...forget it, let this old joke go.
Hinata Yuzuru couldn't help but smile.
Today, he is wearing a brand new kimono.
It is not the common white clothes of the Hyuga clan, but a pure black kimono that is extremely rare in the clan.
On the back, inside a round yellow original base, there is a red flying bird sewn with red needlework. This flying bird is like a condensed flame. It is vaguely a template for Hinata Yuzuru's hand-drawn drawings based on the shape of a phoenix.
.
Not surprisingly, this is the new emblem of the Hyuga clan from now on.
To be honest, the original emblem of the Hyuga clan was a bit weird. It had a yellow round bottom with flames inside, and a magatama-like pattern. To Yuzuru Hyuga's impression when he first saw it, it looked a bit like a daddy.
Um.
In fact, it wasn't like that if he took a closer look, but this was his first impression. Every time he saw it, he always felt a little weird.
It can be said that this trip is to overthrow the centuries-old ancestral system of the Hyuga clan. To put it bluntly, Hyuga Yuzuru's move is no different from treason. Since it is to be done, it must be done to destroy the Hyuga clan from its roots.
To become independent from the past, a new clan emblem was designed.
This kimono only has a phoenix clan emblem on the back. According to the pattern, it belongs to the "monsuke", which is the pattern design of the core members of the family. The kimono of the clan leader will have more patterns.
The black kimono made Hinata Yuzuru look more mature and steady, and also made his fair skin look cleaner. Hinata Kaoru gently arranged the kimono haori (the small jacket on the upper body of the kimono) for him while he was doing it.
Behind him, he looked at his young master's face in the mirror.
"I didn't expect that the young master would look so good in a black kimono."
She always has a sweet mouth.
Hinata Yuzuru chuckled, stretched out his hand to pinch her finger, and moved it away: "Didn't you touch it enough just now?"
"I didn't." Hinata Xunxiafei's cheeks looked like a kitten that had stolen fish, smiling mischievously.
In the past six months, Hinata Yuzuru has been doing research with her almost every night, and she has gradually understood her young master's temper. Occasionally joking about it "not too big nor too small" can actually make him feel happy.
"Did you get a message back from Uchiha?"
Hinata Yuzuru said softly.
Hinata Kaoru became serious and said seriously: "Not yet."
Hinata Yuzuru nodded unhurriedly, walked out of the room, and sat down with her in front of the dry landscape in the courtyard. There was a little warm moisture in the cool breeze. He raised his head and looked at the sky: "Today there may be a storm.
It’s raining.”
"Yes, it will be troublesome if it's still raining at night. Really, it's rare for the young master to celebrate his birthday at home." Hinata Xun looked a little dissatisfied. If she had a way to change the weather, I'm afraid she would have done it by now.
Hinata Yuzuru was amused by her and always thought she looked like a child sometimes, which was a bit cute.
Her long hair was blown by the wind, and a faint fragrance spread to her nose. There was a vague floral fragrance, but she couldn't tell what the fragrance was. Hinata Yuzuru turned to look at her side face, looking at her seemingly vague expression.
No Dark Circles: “Sleep late last night?”
Hinata Xun turned his face away and discovered his flaw in his sight. He stuck out his tongue, and the tip of his pink tongue was bitten gently by his neat white teeth. There was actually a hint of pure desire: "What?
Can I sleep well..."
She said quietly, with longing and expectation in her eyes, and she could not hide her happiness and smiled softly: "It took a lot of effort to get to today."
"When Master Yuzuru finishes this matter, no one will be able to control us anymore. At that time, Master will not have to look at other people's faces. Maybe he can change the family law... Master thinks that if the boy's fitness is changed,
How about changing the marriage age to 12?"
It's too much punishment.
Hinata Yuzuru laughed twice, raised his fingers and flicked her forehead.
"Hey."
Xun pretended to be in pain, smiled tacitly, held his chin, huddled up and sat next to Hinata Yuzuru, swaying back and forth as he sat: "Master, if your birthday is over, right?
Can you do the experiment at home?"
"Yeah." Hinata Yuzuru hummed, but saw Hinata Kaoru looking at him secretly, as if he was about to speak.
"Say." He said simply.
"That's right, I'm thinking about those people from the Zong family, if some people don't need to be killed directly..."
The way Hinata Kaoru spoke was like an embarrassed little girl begging for a toy.
Hinata Yuzuru thought for a moment and shook his head slightly: "It's not necessary, but I can leave their eyes to you."
"I see..."
She looked very sorry.
Hyuga Yuzuru pushed up his glasses and said calmly: "Outside, there are gangsters killing innocent people indiscriminately and traitors everywhere."
"Yes!" Hinata Xun said softly: "Whether it is a curse seal or a seal, the experiments using animals as carriers have almost come to an end. After that, whether it is research on further curse seals, other transformations, or even the development of new spells,
, are inseparable from this step.
I know the young master is soft-hearted, but this is a necessary sacrifice..."
"I know." Hinata Yuzuru interrupted her, but said seriously: "But you can't lose the big for the small."
Hinata Kaoru knew what size he was talking about and smiled slightly: "Of course, in my heart, becoming the woman that Master Yuzuru likes is the biggest thing."
"Yes, yes." Hinata Yuzuru raised his head. He didn't say much, as long as they both knew what they were talking about, and just looked up at the sky quietly.
The two of them couldn't stay quiet for long, and the atmosphere was quickly broken by other things.
"Master Yuzuru, Ibuli Snow is here."
Hinata Yuzuru and Hinata Kaoru looked at each other and smiled. When the maid Hinata Riko who came to deliver the news saw this scene, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
The relationship between the young master and Miss Xun seems to be getting better and better.
"Let her in."
Lizi hummed, turned and left, and not long after, the slim girl appeared from the door.
Her long brown hair is naturally slightly curly, and some of the freckles on her face have faded away. Her facial features on her clean oval face have gradually taken on a mature look. Rather than saying that she is a girl, she is already a beautiful girl.
A girl.
"Master Yuzuru." Iblisue greeted him respectfully.
Hinata Yuzuru smiled slightly, nodded to her, stood up, stepped on wooden clogs and walked into the house. She followed suit and entered the room.
"The Uchiha clan has received the news." After Yuki Iblis finished what he had to say, he pursed his lips and looked at Hinata Yuzuru.
Hinata Yuzuru pushed up his glasses slightly: "Is there anything else? If it's just a message, you don't need to come in person."
He glanced at the black spots on Iblisue's neck, which were traces of curse marks: "How are you feeling recently?"
Ibuki answered the latter first: "Thanks to Master Yuzuru, the curse seal is very stable. It is better to say that it is much better than the original curse seal of Orochimaru."
"That's good. I'll wait until I'm done with my work here before I go take a look at your blood stains." Hinata Yuzuru said casually, but when he could finish his work would depend on how many things he had to do.
Ibuli Xuejian sighed secretly. In two years, she had grown up a lot, and she had already figured out many things by now.
For example, their clan is actually of little use to Hyuga Yuzuru, and it is not worthy of the other party's investment and effort. However, if you want to change the fate of the Ibli clan, you have to have these two people in front of you.
She often helps Hinata Kaoru in the basement of the pawn shop, or to be precise, in the temporary underground research room. She has already deeply understood that both cultivation and scientific research are fields of genius. She relies on herself and the Ibuli family.
Do you know how long it will take to solve your own blood stain problem?
Iblisuki has a radical personality and is different from the more conservative members of the clan. He believes that if he lives like this, it is better to die - to take revenge on Orochimaru and at the same time rewrite the fate of the family. As the leader of the family
It can be said that she is currently the only young generation, and she shoulders a burden that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
"I want..." She hesitated.
Hinata Yuzuru looked at her calmly, and after a while, he smiled and said, "Just say it."
"If Master Yuzuru succeeds today, from now on, the Ibuli family..."
Iblisuki looked quite uneasy, and before she finished speaking, Hinata Yuzuru shook her head slightly and interrupted her.
"Let's wait until later. Can you represent the Ibuli clan today?" He pointed out the key point. Ibuli was silent for a moment, and then nodded heavily.
She clenched her fists: "If Master Yuxuan is willing, I will communicate with the clan leader when he goes back today. Even if he becomes the clan leader in advance, it is not a bad idea."
Basically, the people of the Ibuli clan cannot live past the age of forty or fifty. Those who die early may develop blood-stained diseases and turn into smoke in their thirties. At her current age, she is not the same as the only young person in the clan.
His identity is that he is definitely the successor of the next clan leader.
Hinata Yuzuru was thoughtful, pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and just said: "I will consider it."
"Thank you, Yuzuru-sama!"
Seeing that even the title had been changed, Iblisuki's eyes were a little excited. She knew that Hinata Yuzuru was a principled and good person - at least in her eyes. Since she would consider it after saying it, there was a high probability that it would be a good idea.
.
Hinata Yuzuru just nodded noncommittally, and she left knowingly. This was also part of her growth...even though the growth process was not beautiful.
Hinata Xun tilted his head with a smile, put his head close to his side and whispered: "What do you think, Master?"
"Their blood stains do have unique advantages in spying on intelligence."
Hyuga Yuzuru said calmly: "Even if I have the shortcoming of being afraid of wind escape, as long as I can ignore the ordinary natural wind and get enough employment to become an excellent spy, Konoha will not be peaceful in the future. Maybe I can still count on the Hokage.
Cassie passed on the news to me, but the Uchiha clan..."
"I thought Shisui and Itachi were good friends with Master Yuzuru." Xun whispered.
Hinata Yuzuru just looked out the window calmly.
"Before, maybe."
His soft words made Hinata Xun's pupils shrink, and he was a little shocked for a moment. Looking carefully, his face no longer had the peace and tranquility of the past, but was replaced by a kind of indifferent dead silence after being disappointed.
Although the expression was similar to the past, for some reason, Hinata Kaoru still felt that his appearance was both familiar and unfamiliar. His heart was pounding, and he even secreted a thin layer of sweat. His cheeks were slightly red, and his whole body was covered in sweat.
They were all stretched tight.
It's this... that makes her so fascinated.
She couldn't tell.
But just such an inadvertent glimpse, she once again saw the terrifying existence hidden in the body named "Hyuga Yuzuru", which made her obsessed with it, like a moth to a flame, unable to extricate herself.
Inside that calm exterior, there is indifference, unruliness, and anger...
"Master Yuzuru, can I get close to you?" she asked suddenly.
Hinata Yuzuru glanced at it and said with a smile: "Isn't that enough?"
She boldly stretched out her hand, her hands even trembling slightly. When she saw that he didn't move away, she greedily pressed close to him, leaned against his side, and carefully hugged one arm tightly, as if hugging a ball.
The bonfire then ignited his whole body.
"Don't leave me behind." Hinata Xun's voice also trembled a little.
What a sharp guy.
Hinata Yuzuru laughed, reached out and patted her head: "As long as you are willing to stay with me."
The two of them stood quietly in the room. After a long time, until it was getting late and dusk began, they took steps and left the room.
"I want to get a haircut."
Hinata Yuzuru suddenly spoke nonsense.
Hinata Kaoru never puts him in trouble. When he walked out of the room, he loosened his arms and hung them beside him like a well-behaved maid who admired the young master: "Do you want my help? Although I haven't tried it before, but with surgery
Is it okay to have a haircut with a knife?"
"Well, let's try it later. I want to have a hairstyle like Aizen's." Hinata Yuzuru muttered.
"Aizen?" Hinata Kaoru didn't know who it was and was a little curious.
"That guy is my material library. Sometimes I have to borrow a few words from him when I don't think of it. ...Although he is a villain, he is a very charming guy."
"Then he must not be as charming as Master Yuzuru."
"Um?"
"Because Master Yuzuru is a great hero, and a villain is a title given to losers."
"That makes sense."
The two chatted and laughed and walked towards the door of their separate house.
The banquet was held at the entrance of the ancestral hall. At this moment, people from the separate families were heading to the banquet venue one after another. When they saw Hinata Yuzuru, they all praised and said hello.
"Master Yuzuru's new kimono is so beautiful!"
"Happy birthday! Master Yuzuru!"
"Master Yuzuru, you seem to be in a good mood today!"
Hyuga Yuzuru just smiled gently and responded to the words that came and went one after another. Unknowingly, he arrived at his destination in the middle of the chat.
In the open space in front of the ancestral hall, tables and chairs have been set up, and a roof has even been erected. The rain has not fallen yet, so it will probably come at the right time.
The Hyuga clan was lively and lively for a long time, and people sat together according to their relationships. The clan members only had three tables, located in the center.
Even the Uchiha clan usually does not celebrate birthdays in such a lively, flamboyant and noisy way, but Hyuga Yuzuru is no stranger to this scene. Before time travel, no one has participated in several banquets.
"Yuzuru."
A majestic voice rang in his ears, and Hinata Yuzuru turned to look. Hinata Hizashi had a serious expression on his face, slowly walking from his side, looking at each other, nodding, and smiling at each other.
"Hiashi-sama wants to see you." Hinata Hizashi said softly, stretched out his hand, gently pinched Hinata Yuzuru's collar, and rearranged his already neat clothes, then took a deep breath and smiled: "
And, happy birthday.”
Hinata Yuzuru looked not far away. Sitting at the front and center was none other than Hinata Hizashi. In addition, there were his wife, Hinata Hinata, and eight elders.
Apart from them, there were only two tables of the clan attending the dinner. One table was occupied by senior ninjas from the clan, almost all of whom were jounin, and the other table was occupied by the younger generation in their teens.
The older group, the middle group, and the younger group.
The core of the three generations of the Zong family is almost here.
Hinata Yuzuru took the initiative to walk over and greeted everyone politely, and then came to Hinata Hizashi's side.
"Lord Patriarch." Hinata Yuzuru smiled gently.
Hinata Hinata had a lot of suspicions and dissatisfaction in his heart, but at this moment, after all, it was Hinata Yuzuru's birthday, he just said softly, lukewarmly: "Happy birthday, Yuzuru... Next time, don't be so extravagant.
Well, you know, even when it comes to worshiping ancestors, we have never done it so grandly.
Moderation and low-keyness are the foundation of the Hyuga clan."
Hyuga Yuzuru smiled lightly: "I'm sorry, I originally just wanted to invite some clan members to have a small gathering, but I never thought that so many people would come. I have no choice but to hold a banquet here. I won't do that anymore."
You mean, you just talked casually and these people came by themselves?
Hinata and Hinata haven't spoken yet.
Ri Xianghui felt even more dissatisfied and snorted coldly: "It's not big or small. For the sake of your birthday, I won't hold you responsible for the time being."
"I will apologize to the elders alone later." Hyuga Yuzuru smiled apologetically. Hinata Fai didn't want to embarrass the child. Compared with him, Hinata Fai wanted to deal with Hinata Hizashi.
If your child doesn’t understand, don’t you understand too?
But in the end, I can only hold back - the recent atmosphere of the branch family has been very unharmonious with the Zong family. Once this matter is done, maybe it can ease the atmosphere. If the table is turned over now, the relationship with the branch family will be completely broken.
The face is the same.
Just wait for me!
Hinata Hui's face looked very bad.
The expressions of the other elders were not much better. After all, the scale of this banquet was really amazing. Almost the whole family participated. Yuzuru Hyuga, Hizashi Hyuga, two people from separate families, how could such a big event come from
prestige?
What's even more hateful is that due to the situation, even members of the clan had to get involved. In order to avoid some conflicts, the elite Jounin of the clan were even deliberately allowed to return to the clan to participate in the birthday party.
To put it bluntly, I'm a little scared.
A group of separated families gathered together.
What is this for!?
Rebellion!
"Okay, don't be harsh on Yuzuru. It's his birthday after all. Let's have a good dinner and don't make anyone unhappy." An elder came out to make peace and avoid a rigid situation.
After he finished speaking, he chatted with several elders for a few words, then went to the table of his family and found his own table. After sitting down, there were only acquaintances around him.
Mother, Neji, Hyuga Shiro, Hinata Wada and other branch jounin, Hinata Kaoru is among them.
He sat on the empty seat, smiled at each other and chatted aimlessly with several ninjas.
People gradually arrived, the sky gradually dimmed, the long-lost lights of Hinata's house were brightly lit, and the whole front of the ancestral hall was bright.
As the logistics manager, Hinata Sakura was in charge of the catering of the entire banquet. At this time, the food was almost ready, so she also took a seat. This was the first time such a large banquet was held. The Hyuga clan even paid to hire an outside party.
The cook took care of it and nothing went wrong.
She gently touched her forehead with her only one arm, closed her eyes, and the bird seal enveloped the caged bird. As long as she thought about it, this damn curse seal could be removed as the seal was broken.
Hinata Sakura raised her wine glass with a complicated expression. She took a sip and felt her whole body feel hot.
Similar to her, the ninjas from different families were exchanging cups with each other and eating the food, but there was no look of confusion on their faces. They only tasted the wine briefly, but they were enjoying the food. You could vaguely see the traces of it.
Pleasure.
Hinata Hizashi walked towards Hinata Hizashi and chatted for a few words in a low voice.
As the 'leader' in a sense, Hinata Hizashi naturally has to be the first to speak and set the tone for the entire banquet. After all, there is no special master of ceremonies here, but after all, Hinata Hizashi is the clan leader.
For such a big banquet, Hinata and Hinata have to be the first to say something for it to be justified, right?
But Hinata and Hinata refused.
After all, he didn't like this matter, didn't support it, let alone encourage it, so he just stood up, casually said a few words of happy birthday as the clan leader, and then let Hinata Hizashi handle it by himself.
Hinata Hizashi was not surprised, so, under the gaze of everyone in the Hyuga clan, he walked to the center of the banquet and spoke polite words loudly, nothing more than thanking all the guests and hoping that everyone would have a good meal and drink.
After a few words, the banquet continued.
Many people from separate families took the initiative to toast Hinata Yuzuru. Of course, they just held up their wine glasses, gave gifts, and said some happy birthday wishes. Hinata Yuzuru did not drink. Most of those people,
Just taking a sip, their eyes met, and the atmosphere became more and more heated.
Time is getting darker and darker. It has been almost two hours since the banquet. The sky is dark, the moon is sparse, and under the clouds, raindrops are falling with a loud thunder.
Hinata Hizu calmly sat in his seat and endured it, but Hinata Hui and other elders became increasingly impatient.
"When are you planning to hold this banquet? It's going to rain."
someone asked.
Hinata Hui looked at Hinata and Hinata with a sullen face. Needless to say, he wanted him to end this boring dinner.
Hinata and Hizashi sighed, and complained in their hearts that Hinata and Hizashi were ignorant. Couldn't they leave after eating? They didn't say anything, and it was difficult for others to leave. Why didn't they even know this bit of etiquette?
But Hinata Yuzuru stood up first and walked towards the center of the banquet, as if he had something to say.
It seemed that they sensed that their patience was running out, so they were stuck for time.
Hinata Hinashi turned his head to look, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat.
Where did Neji go?
It's not just Neji.
Hyuga Yuzuru’s mother, many ordinary people living in separate families...
A small section of the banquet was almost empty.
Didn’t you tell me earlier that you could leave!?
Hinata and Hizu's expression turned even worse. Unexpectedly, the people who separated from the family left just as soon as they said they wanted to leave. They still worried about etiquette and stayed here.
Glancing at Hinata beside him, he snorted coldly, but he didn't get angry, but he made up his mind to go back after Hinata Yuzuru finished speaking.
When the banquet is over, let the father and son give a suitable explanation!
The raindrops fell loudly, getting heavier and heavier. Fortunately, the roof of the shed was erected in advance. The temporary roof was not strong, but it was not a problem to block the rain. The raindrops pattered on the leather roof, making Hinata and Hinata even more upset.
He always felt something was wrong.
Several maids brought wine bottles under umbrellas.
As a veteran ninja who controls logistics, Hinata Sakura personally distributes the drinks.
The ninjas of the clan rarely drank, or rarely had the opportunity to drink together like this. At this time, they all drank a lot, and they were a little drunk. They didn't refuse, but just smiled and took the wine bottle.
Hinata Hizashi looked at Hinata Sakura with a sullen face and said coldly: "Senior Sakura, I won't drink any more wine."
Yes, Hyuga Sakura is Hinata Hinata's senior in terms of seniority alone.
"Hizu-sama, this is the last drink for this banquet." Hinata Sakura's attitude was lukewarm. In fact, she treated everyone like this. Several elders glanced at her empty sleeves and said nothing.
Hinata Hizashi had to take the wine bottle, but Hinata Sakura refused his hand and poured a glass for each of them.
Then, he bowed slightly and retreated to the banquet place in the distance.
Rizu suppressed his dissatisfaction. He always felt that today was really weird. One by one, he really didn’t know what he wanted to do.
At this moment, Hinata Yuzuru finally spoke slowly.
"First of all, thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend my birthday banquet."
Hinata Hiashi subconsciously squeezed the wine glass tightly, his brows furrowed, and the ominous premonition in his heart became deeper and deeper.
Turning his head and looking around, he discovered something strange. The originally noisy banquet quieted down almost before Hyuga Yuzuru spoke. Only the clan members seemed to be a few beats slower. It was not until Hinata Yuzuru finished speaking that he
After realizing it, he closed his mouth.
During the entire banquet, apart from the sound of rain hitting the roof, the only voice left was Hinata Yuzuru's voice.
"Of course, there are also some regrets. There are also some seniors from the Hyuga branch who are still responsible for security tasks and cannot stay long and have no chance to witness this moment."
He said softly. The embroidery of the fire phoenix on the back of the black kimono was particularly eye-catching. A clan ninja couldn't help but snorted in a low voice: "She looks like a clan leader... How can the embroidery on the kimono still look so good?"
Just like the family emblem, didn't anyone teach him not to embroider random patterns on his kimono? It's really lawless."
His low words seemed a bit abrupt.
That's why no one spoke at all except Hinata Yuzuru at this moment.
The Zong family ninja consciously made a mistake and closed his mouth subconsciously, but he felt that many eyes were staring at him like needles. For a moment, the hair on his head stood on his head - he had murderous intent.
Wait a moment...
Have murderous intent!?
He looked along the line of sight in shock, only to see a group of separated ninjas looking at him indifferently.
in all directions.
The Zong family was placed at the center of the banquet.
This means that he is caught in the banquets of other branch families.
He swallowed subconsciously.
You must feel wrong...right?
at the same time.
Outside the Hyuga clan.
Eerily quiet.
The Uchiha clan stepped onto the streets for the first time in a long time, and gathered in twos and threes near the Hyuga clan. As members of the guard, they had the right to patrol the streets and patrol the streets.
Today, it's just that the patrol areas seem to overlap unexpectedly.
Uchiha Fugaku, wearing an ordinary combat uniform with the Uchiha clan's emblem tattooed on his back, led the team towards the Hyuga clan's mansion.
After several jumps, he leaped to the surrounding heights.
He quietly stared at the quiet Hinata mansion. At this time, the ancestral hall in the backyard seemed brightly lit.
The raindrops fell.
Uchiha Shisui stood quietly behind him, each holding a black umbrella, staring at the bright spot that was quite eye-catching in the dark night. Unfortunately, the Uchiha clan could not see as far as Hinata, even in
From a high place, one could only see vague silhouettes of people as big as grains of rice.
"Do you think Hinata Yuzuru will succeed?" Uchiha Fugaku said softly.
Uchiha Shisui sighed, but his tone was firm: "I will definitely do it."
"Why are you sighing?" Uchiha Fugaku turned to look at him.
Uchiha Shisui was silent for a long time before saying: "I am still an ANBU ninja..."
"Do you still want to do things for the Third Generation?" Uchiha Fugaku asked casually, seemingly unintentionally.
Uchiha Shisui raised his head sadly and stared at the rain falling: "Konoha, what will it become?"
"Shisui...you are a member of the Uchiha clan." Uchiha Fugaku emphasized.
"Uchiha, aren't you part of the village?" Uchiha Shisui asked.
"...."
The two looked at each other, and both could see their complicated emotions towards the village.
"But, the current village does not need Uchiha..."
Uchiha Fugaku just said softly helplessly.
Uchiha Shisui was silent, but did not refute anything. He just looked into the distance. In the dark night, the silhouette of the Hokage building was vague, as if it was hiding in the darkness, like a terrifying giant beast crawling on the ground.
.
Soon, a purple light suddenly appeared in the peaceful Hyuga clan mansion behind them, attracting everyone's attention.
It was like four light curtains rising out of thin air, enveloping the Hyuga clan, like four transparent walls rising out of thin air, extremely eye-catching and eye-catching.
"This is..." Uchiha Shisui said in shock.
Uchiha Fugaku subconsciously opened his Sharingan and looked at the corner of the nodule. A familiar figure was smiling because of his sight.
"Boundary·Four Purple Flame Formation...can it be cast with just four shadow clones!? Where did he get so much chakra!"
Uchiha Fugaku murmured in shock.
He looked shocked, turned his head, and looked into the distance.
As the barrier unfolded, the figure of Anbu suddenly appeared in the distance.
"here we go."
