The members of the Hyuga Branch Family gathered at Asana's side, summoned by Hyuga Hizashi.
They were all aware of the significant changes that had occurred in the Hyuga Clan yesterday, and most of the branch family members were immersed in the excitement of soon being free from the Caged Bird Seal.
However, a small number of branch family members began to worry if they would be hunted by various forces in the Ninja World without the Caged Bird Seal? After all, the strategic value of the Byakugan was very high.
Uchiha En and Asana had also discussed this point yesterday.
The Hyuga Clan's Byakugan was not like the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan, which had huge side effects after transplantation that ordinary people simply couldn't endure.
On the contrary, the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan could be used normally with all its functions as long as it was transplanted, and it would not cause any impact on the body.
Coupled with the fact that the overall strength of the Hyuga Clan was not as strong as the Uchiha Clan, the difficulty for outsiders to seize the Byakugan would be greatly reduced.
Therefore, after discussion, Uchiha En and Asana decided to remove most of the effects of the Caged Bird Seal, but to retain one: the Byakugan would automatically self-destruct upon the death of a Hyuga Clan member.
Afterward, Asana and Uchiha En would study a simplified version of the cursed seal based on the Caged Bird Seal's Jutsu. This cursed seal would have only one effect: the Byakugan would automatically self-destruct upon the death of a Hyuga Clan member.
To break this effect, the Byakugan needed to evolve, just as Asana's had done previously.
This new cursed seal would need to be applied to both the Main Family and the Branch Family.
Besides this, it was a matter for the Main Family. Asana drove out those Main Family members who were not accepted by the Branch Family from the Hyuga Clan, aiming to prevent these individuals from becoming a new Branch Family.
Once the oppressed branch family members regained their freedom, they would inevitably seek revenge on those who had enslaved them before.
But Asana had already promised Otsutsuki Hamura that she would give the Main Family a chance.
That's why Asana drove them out; they would live in separate places and not interfere with each other.
Subsequently, Asana would have Hyuga Hizashi restrain the Hyuga Clan members. If anyone disobeyed, he could simply make an example of them.
As for how many Main Family members would remain, Asana felt that none would stay.
The Branch Family's hatred for the Main Family was not directed at any individual, but at the entire group.
At least Asana herself felt that, apart from children who hadn't attended the Ninja Academy, all Main Family members deserved to die.
The facts were exactly as Asana had expected; all Main Family members were expelled.
Asana watched as these people, led by Hyuga Hiashi, left the Hyuga Clan.
"From now on, the Hyuga Clan will usher in a new future," Asana murmured to herself.
For the next two days, Asana remained in the Hyuga Clan, helping all the branch family members remove the Caged Bird Seal.
The blue cursed seal that originally covered her entire forehead was now only the size of a pinky fingernail.
This green diamond-shaped mark had only one function: to destroy the Byakugan upon the death of a Hyuga Clan member.
Asana did not hide this from her clan members and told them directly.
The members of the Hyuga Branch Family had no objections to this. They also knew the value of the Byakugan, and without some protective measure, the Byakugan would indeed attract covetous eyes.
During these two days, Hyuga Hizashi also helped the Main Family members arrange housing.
They now lived in the northeast corner of the Village, which was considered the outskirts of the Village.
Asana personally went to the Hyuga Main Family, carved the Caged Bird Seal on the foreheads of all Main Family members, and then activated the Caged Bird Seal.
This soul-tearing pain made even the once high-and-mighty Main Family members fall to their knees and beg for mercy.
Asana merely wanted them to experience the pain that the branch family members had once endured. Once they had experienced it, Asana helped them release the Caged Bird Seal, leaving only the function of destroying the Byakugan.
"Hyuga Hiashi, now without the support of the branch family, you Main Family members also need to perform missions to support yourselves. This cursed seal can ensure that your Byakugan will not fall into external hands after your death; it has no other functions besides that.
As for your children, when they become Ninja, I will also engrave the same cursed seal on them. This is the true cursed seal that protects the Byakugan." After speaking, Asana flew away directly.
Hyuga Hiashi sighed, looking at the Main Family members. Most of these people were accustomed to a life of luxury, and it would probably be difficult for them to perform missions.
For a short time, he could only rely on himself.
After dealing with the Hyuga Clan's affairs, Asana rarely returned to the Hyuga compound.
To be honest, the Hyuga Clan held nothing for Asana to cherish.
She didn't care much about her parents or siblings either.
Because in the past, they had only told her to obey. When she was tormented by the Caged Bird Seal from the Main Family, their reaction was always to tell Asana to admit her mistake.
Once or twice was fine, but after experiencing it many times, Asana was completely disappointed in her family.
Asana no longer wanted to live with them.
Furthermore, since she had confirmed her relationship with Uchiha En, Asana simply moved into Uchiha En's home.
Uchiha En was naturally very welcoming of Asana's move-in.
Before they broke through this barrier, although Asana also lived in Uchiha En's house, they didn't share a room.
Now, the two of them were sleeping in the same bed, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they enjoyed nightly revelry.
Uchiha En was so happy he almost forgot his duties.
Unknowingly, three months passed.
Uchiha En's level also reached 80 today.
Uchiha En's current stats were as follows:
Chakra Amount: 2103
Constitution: 548
Eye power: 3038
Life Force: 1009
Natural Affinity: 112
Level: Lv80 (0/300)
Attribute Points: 0
Uchiha En estimated that levels 80 to 90 corresponded to the strongest tier below the Six Paths.
Strong individuals like Uchiha Madara and Hashirama should be at this level.
Hashirama explicitly admitted in the original work that only Obito in his Sage transformation was stronger than him.
So Hashirama was likely the strongest person below the Six Paths, which would translate to around level 89. Uchiha Madara and Hashirama were on par, with Hashirama slightly stronger, probably around level 87 or 88.
Uchiha En was currently level 80, and his Natural Affinity had already surpassed 100. Uchiha En felt that he should now be qualified to learn Senjutsu.
However, Uchiha En did not plan to learn the Senjutsu of the Three Great Sage Regions. Although the Senjutsu of Shikkotsu Forest was not shown in the original work, Uchiha En had some conjectures based on the Senjutsu of the other two Great Sage Regions.
The Senjutsu of the Three Great Sage Regions should all have very strong "personal characteristics," so Uchiha En didn't want to learn their Sage Mode. He planned to explore it himself, especially since Asana knew Senjutsu, so having her assist shouldn't be a problem.
But before that, Uchiha En had to claim his level 80 reward.
With a thought, a golden box appeared in Uchiha En's hand.
