Chapter 306: Clan Head About to Slaughter the Clan?
"We cannot let all clansmen completely unravel the Caged Bird; this would give the Ōtsutsuki clansmen on the moon an opportunity to restart the Tenseigan Project, or even massacre the Hyūga clansmen on a large scale once again."
"Equally, we cannot let all clansmen be completely planted with the Caged Bird; this would cause the entire Hyūga clan to completely reduce to mere servants of the Ōtsutsuki clan—"
Hyūga Neji finally began to somewhat understand exactly what kind of dilemma the Hyūga clan was facing.
Even for a moment, Hyūga Neji actually felt that the Hyūga clan's Main House and Branch House system was instead the best solution?
"If it were Uchiha Ikeizumi, would he be able to go to the moon and solve those Ōtsutsuki clansmen?"
Hyūga Neji remained silent, but such a bold thought suddenly popped up in his heart.
Such an Ōtsutsuki clan, which posed a huge threat to the ninja world and even thought about destroying the ninja world at every moment, absolutely violated Absolute Justice in Hyūga Neji's view.
But the problem now was that Hyūga Neji did not know whether Uchiha Ikeizumi possessed the ability to go to the moon.
"Probably, he cannot, right?"
"Lord Ikeizumi is very strong, but he does not seem to have ever exposed the ability to fly, let alone fly to the moon!"
Neji furrowed his brows tightly; there were no less than many thoughts spinning in his mind, but no matter what, he could not think of a suitable method to solve the dilemma of the Hyūga clan.
"I will help you unravel the Caged Bird, Neji; protect your younger sister, and protect Hinata!"
"If one were to speak of the best method to face the threat of the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon, it is probably only to let Hinata awaken the Tenseigan."
Hyūga Hiashi looked deeply at Neji in front of him; he had already completely told Neji the responsibilities of the head of the Main House. Even if he were to die now, the inheritance would not be severed for the Hyūga clan!
"I understand!"
Hyūga Neji continued to remain silent; after a long silence, he slowly nodded again.
He had not abandoned justice; he still hated the Caged Bird mark of the Main House and Branch House, but for the sake of justice, or rather for the sake of the entire ninja world, even if he hated those things further, he still had to become the Main House that he once felt disgusted by!
"Justice—"
"Absolute Justice—"
Hyūga Neji silently recited in his heart, while on the other side, Hyūga Hiashi had already helped Neji unravel the Caged Bird mark on his head.
When Neji's Caged Bird mark was unraveled, he could clearly feel that certain things limiting him had disappeared; if he were to open the Byakugan again now, there would no longer be any blind spots of the Byakugan!
"Justice is right, but Absolute Justice is not necessarily the path most suitable for me."
"My justice is the Justice of Protection!"
"Protect Hinata; she has the opportunity to be able to awaken the Tenseigan, which is the ultimate weapon capable of resisting them after the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon truly brings out the Tenseigan."
"Protect the Hyūga; this is my responsibility—"
"Protect the ninja world; we and the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon are of the same clan, and stopping them is also the mission of our Hyūga clan!"
"Therefore, my justice will be the Justice of Protection!"
"Hinata, the Hyūga, Konoha, the ninja world—these are all things I want to protect, the justice I must protect even if I exert all my strength!"
At this time, Neji felt as if he had experienced a sublimation; he somewhat understood why Uchiha Ikeizumi was able to do those things—if anyone violated the justice in his heart, Neji would not hesitate at any cost!
It was also not long after Neji left the Konoha Prison that a terrifying explosion resounded from the direction of the Konoha Prison.
Hyūga Tsukasa had finally acted after all; for the sake of his own power, for the sake of everything he had fought hard to obtain, he chose to take a risk and directly go to raid the Konoha Prison, thereby obtaining the support of these original Main House members like Hyūga Hiashi.
"Hyūga Tsukasa!"
Only, what Hyūga Tsukasa did not expect was that as he led his die-hard followers to break through the Konoha Prison, Hyūga Hiashi, who originally should have been most supported by him, actually actively took action to block him.
"Why?"
Hyūga Tsukasa looked at Hyūga Hiashi who was coming to kill him, his face bewildered while his eyes were furthermore filled with an expression of disbelief.
Should they not be allies?
He braved the disapproval of the whole world to break through the Konoha Prison; even if Hyūga Hiashi and the others did not leave with him, they should not have this attitude, right?
"Did your father not tell you? Once a Branch House member, you are a Branch House member for your whole life!"
"Even if you remove the Caged Bird from your head, so what? The Branch House is the Branch House!"
"If you truly treated the clansmen as family, perhaps we old guys would think a bit higher of you, but you treat the clansmen as slaves—how are you any different from us old guys?"
What Hyūga Tsukasa did not expect was that the ones taking action were not just Hyūga Hiashi, but also several other Hyūga elders.
After they knew that Hyūga Hiashi had handed over the responsibilities of the head of the Main House to Hyūga Neji, and that Hyūga Neji had furthermore accepted it, this group of Main House elders also changed their thoughts.
They limitedly knew that the Hyūga clan bore responsibilities; since they, this group of old guys, had already become rotten old guys, and the responsibilities of the Main House had also been passed down, then let them, this group of old guys, help Neji sweep away the filth of the Hyūga clan!
"Why—"
Hyūga Tsukasa looked at several Main House elders taking action against him together, completely puzzled even at this time.
He truly could not figure it out, could not understand it!
Could it be just because of the so-called once a Branch House member, one is a Branch House member for life?
"Do not overestimate him, and do not underestimate ourselves."
"Perhaps time has already smoothed over our ambitions, and even made us become rotten, and furthermore treat the Branch House as slaves."
"But we know very well what we bear, whereas he is merely a rat who accidentally stole a high position!"
As another Hyūga Main House elder took action, Hyūga Tsukasa did not understand why he died until his death!
"However, since the prison has already been broken, then let us begin our final burning!"
"Everyone should remember that the purest Hyūga bloodline flows within us; speaking so much of grand righteousness is useless, but we should make our final contribution for our Byakugan Princess!"
Hyūga Hiashi looked at the dead Hyūga Tsukasa in front of him, expressionlessly gouging out the Byakugan from his eyes.
Hyūga Hiashi had not told Neji that Hinata indeed possessed the opportunity to open the Tenseigan, but if she wanted to open the Tenseigan, she still needed some other things.
For example, the project that the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon wanted to implement but did not succeed in!
They wanted to sacrifice the entire Hyūga clan to completely end the mission of the Hyūga clan!
"Shall we kill the other people together as well?"
The Main House elders on the other side looked at Utatane Koharu and the others in the prison, bloodthirsty light appearing in their eyes.
Since they had already decided to walk onto a path of death, then before facing death, these Main House elders also wanted to drag a few more people to go on the road with them, or rather, make the matter even bigger!
