The Uchiha clan, which was wiped out entirely, lacked vision.

Chapter 171 Learning from Itachi Uchiha

Chapter 171 Learning from Itachi Uchiha

The branch family ninja was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to accept it, showering it with flattery.

"Elder Tokuma's impartiality and integrity are truly a blessing for the family."

"Please rest assured, family and elders, I will fight fiercely on the battlefield to make this treasure unleash its full power and live up to the family's expectations and hopes."

That's more like it!

This is the attitude you should have when splitting up a family!

Hyuga Tokuma nodded in satisfaction, then turned and left the plaza.

After the main family members had all left, leaving only some members of the branch family, someone angrily cursed, "That Hyuga Kuraya guy, he actually did something like this for a ninja tool, it's absolutely shameless!"

"If I had known this would happen, Neji shouldn't have saved him in the first place!"

Some shook their heads and sighed, "That wasn't just a ninja tool; it was a guarantee of survival in chaotic times!"

"Such a good thing is not something that our branch family is qualified to use. Neji should have offered this ninja tool to the clan back then. Maybe he could have even received a reward from the clan."

Neji pressed his head, enduring the excruciating pain, looked around at the people around him, and said firmly, "Don't talk about any bullshit rewards. That's just a dog bone thrown out by the main family for the branch families to tear apart."

"I will never bow down to the main family again, not even if it means death."

"The main family never treated us, the branch family members, as human beings, and our future generations will suffer the same fate as us."

"I don't want my descendants to suffer the same fate, so I've decided to rebel against the main family."

"If you are willing to rebel against the main family with me, you can stay and fight alongside me. If you are not prepared to die, you can leave now."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, none of them believing that he could really rebel against the main family; the final result would simply be death.

They tried to persuade Neji for a long time, but when Neji still refused to change his mind, they finally had no choice but to give up.

Even those who had once received Neji's life-saving grace began to leave one after another.

In the end, only a dozen or so people remained.

Neji glanced at the remaining dozen or so people before nodding in satisfaction.

"I am not a fool who acts recklessly. I am confident that I can rebel against the main family."

"Let's leave here first and find a secluded place. I'll explain everything to you in detail."

The group quickly helped Neji to his home.

After the group sat down, Neji tapped the ground lightly with his finger, and a white Zetsu floated up from the ground.

"Don't worry, there are no outsiders watching nearby."

White Zetsu appeared during the battle that destroyed Konoha Village, so everyone present recognized it. They were immediately shocked and jumped up, grabbing their kunai.

"White Zetsu!"

"Enemy invasion!"

Seeing the panic among the crowd, Neji quickly waved his hand and shouted, "Alright, everyone, don't panic. These are our own people. Sit down."

The group looked at each other, their eyes filled with hesitation, and no one was willing to sit down.

Neji sneered upon seeing this, "White Zetsu is an enemy of Konoha, but not necessarily an enemy of our Hyuga branch family."

"You've all seen what Konoha's attitude is towards the branch family now."

"They are just like the main family, completely disregarding the fate of our branch family."

"If you continue to pledge allegiance to Konoha, it will be the same as continuing to be a dog for the main branch of the clan."

"Anyone who wants to continue being a dog can go ahead, but I'm not!"

"If you can't accept cooperating with White Zetsu, then you can leave now, and we don't need to have any further dealings with each other."

After hesitating for a while, a few people silently turned around and left, but the rest resolutely sat back down in their original seats.

"Very good. From today onwards, our organization will be called Wings."

95

"We must break free from the cage and soar high!"

"But before that, we have to go through a procedure."

He turned and nodded to Bai Jue. Bai Jue clapped his hands, and as soon as the door opened, several Bai Jue walked in from outside.

They were carrying several unconscious ninjas, who looked just like the ones who had left.

"Lord An is right. To accomplish great things, we must unify our thinking; wavering and indecisiveness will not work."

"Since these people are unwilling to travel with us, there is a risk that they will betray us."

"What we are doing concerns everyone's life and fortune, and we cannot take even the slightest risk."

"Now, let's use these people as sacrifices for our alliance."

"We'll kill them now. Everyone must participate; not a single one can be left out."

"Killing a fellow villager is a grave crime in the village. Once you take that step, there's no going back."

"Hiss—" Everyone gasped in shock, their hearts filled with hesitation once again.

Seeing this, Neji raised his arm and passionately rallied the crowd, saying, "These people didn't die because of us, but because of the brutality of the main family."

"They are the foundation of our mutual trust, and a necessary sacrifice and price."

"We are not doing this for our own selfish interests, but for the future of all the branch families, so that our next generation will no longer be enslaved by the main family."

"Think about it, can you accept living like a dog for the rest of your life?"

"Can you accept that your descendants, like you, will be treated as slaves from birth?"

"What are you still hesitating about?"

Encouraged by Neji, someone finally picked up a knife and stabbed one of the ninjas.

With a single stroke, blood splattered everywhere.

Once there's a first one, there will naturally be a second and a third.

The ninja on the ground was tightly bound, and his mouth was also gagged, so he couldn't speak and could only struggle violently.

But it was all in vain. He could only watch helplessly as his former companions and friends walked over one by one and stabbed him in the body. He couldn't have been more regretful.

Before long, everyone had paid their dues, and finally Neji personally killed each of the people tied up on the ground, thus completely ending the process.

Bai Jue smiled slightly and dragged the corpses into the earth.

His method of destroying the evidence was extremely skillful. In just a few moments, the ground was cleaned up again, without even a trace of blood left.

Only then did Neji tell his followers the truth.

"It is impossible to get the main family to give up its enslavement of the branch families."

"Our only option right now is to kill all the members of the main family."

"Once the main family is wiped out, the 'caged bird' curse on the heads of the branch families will naturally become useless."

"We should learn from Itachi Uchiha! If he could be so ruthless as to harm his own clansmen, so can we!"
