"Back then, the Byakugan and Sharingan were equally powerful."
"Right now, the Sharingan's abilities haven't changed, but your Byakugan's abilities have declined."
Orochimaru shook his head, seemingly disappointed.
Hiashi's eyes showed some excitement after hearing Orochimaru's words:
"Such an ancient book exists?"
Orochimaru thought to himself, "Kawasaki told me all this, where did this ancient book come from?"
On the surface, he remained calm and composed.
So, do you agree or disagree?
The corpses of all the main family members are now in Orochimaru's hands.
He asked another question, which was already a gesture of respect.
The Hyuga clan has undergone tremendous changes since this upheaval. If they do not adapt, the clan's decline will be inevitable.
Hiashi sighed, "I hope the Hokage will keep his promise."
Orochimaru was very satisfied:
"Very well, since you agree, Neji, come out and meet your clan leader."
Neji came out upon hearing the sound and stood silently beside Hizashi.
Hiashi saw Neji's eyes and instantly understood.
Looking back at Hizashi's empty eyes, he sighed. It was inevitable anyway.
Japanese athlete Hijikata bowed directly to Orochimaru.
"I have a favor to ask of the Hokage."
Chapter 291 The Hyuga Clan! The Hokage's Decision!
Orochimaru knew it at a glance:
"Don't worry, I'll just choose a pair of Byakugan from the main family and put them on Hizashi."
"Thank you, Hokage-sama."
Orochimaru didn't delay, and Kawasaki happened to be there too.
"Let's do it now."
It's just a minor surgery anyway.
Orochimaru quickly transferred a pair of Byakugan from the main branch of the Orochimaru family to Hizashi's eyes.
Following Orochimaru's orders, Hizashi bit Kawasaki.
His optic nerve was quickly reconnected.
The group was somewhat surprised by Kawasaki's abilities, but they didn't say anything more.
By now, Hizashi and Neji have both removed the Caged Bird Mark and acquired the Byakugan of the main family.
Kawasaki said while washing his hands:
"Hiashi and Hizashi, you two should go and deal with the division of the family first. If you delay too long, problems will arise."
"The other members of the main family will be detained for a period of time, and the division of the family will be settled first."
"Neji, train hard by your father's side. I have high expectations for you."
"Yes, Kawasaki-senpai!"
Neji looked at Hizashi, who patted him on the shoulder.
Led by Karin, the group left the place.
The Hyuga branch family.
In the courtyard, everyone was dressed in black.
Sadness was written on everyone's face; too many people had died from the family division.
Most of them were relatives, and everyone was wearing mourning clothes.
Moreover, those who died were all elites at the level of special jonin and jonin.
In terms of strength, the division of the family has resulted in a significant gap in its power structure.
Emotionally, the division of the family reignited the long-standing resentment towards the main family.
The members of the main family have all been imprisoned.
Those who separated from the family have all returned home.
The problem originated from the main branch of the family, and the branch suffered misfortune without cause.
The key is to see the Hokage's attitude.
Although they belong to the Hyuga clan, they are also ninjas of Konoha.
This cannot be simply explained as an accident.
They colluded with rogue ninjas and killed so many people.
There was also the death of the Third Hokage.
Things have become very complicated.
Now that the family has separated, they've all gathered together to discuss what to do.
All the high-ranking members of the branch family are gone, and in terms of prestige, Hyuga Hayato is the most prominent.
He is equivalent to a presenter today.
"The death toll has been released. Thirteen members of the main family died, and sixty-five members of our branch family died."
Hinata Hayato solemnly read out the number.
Among the thirteen members of the main family who died, there were also the First Elder, the Third Elder, and the traitorous Fourth Elder.
The remaining ten are ordinary people.
When they split up, there were more than sixty people in total.
Some of them had their chakra absorbed by the Spore Technique while on patrol, and were then killed by Spore White Zetsu.
Most of them were peripheral patrol personnel, with average strength, and were taken advantage of.
The other 37 people who died from birds in cages are the ones who were truly wronged.
They did nothing; some were patrolling, and some were leading missions.
Suddenly, he was killed by the Caged Bird Spell.
The Hyuga branch family is currently consumed by rage, especially a group led by Hyuga Akira's younger brother, Hyuga Teru, who is the most radical.
Their relatives all died in the incident involving caged birds.
If Orochimaru hadn't arrived suddenly, the Hyuga clan would have already been fighting amongst themselves.
After returning, Hyuga Teru contacted a group of branch family members who had suffered similar fates.
They want to rebel.
To be precise, they wanted to overthrow the ruling family and were even prepared to fight to the death.
As long as the main family controls the Caged Bird Seal, the branch families cannot oppose the main family unless assassinated.
Assassinations are almost always a one-way trip.
But they had long felt that life was meaningless.
He was only thinking about the complete annihilation of the main family.
"Yasuto, if the main family members are released, everything will go back to the way it was before. I've had enough of this kind of life."
"I don't want to die an unexplained death under the cage of a bird in the future."
...
Yuto looked at the despair on Hyuga Teru's and the others' faces and knew that they only wanted revenge.
But he was helpless; he couldn't speak up for the main family, nor did he want them to die in vain.
"Teru, you're all too naive. We're all Konoha ninjas. If you kill someone from the main branch of the clan, do you think the Hokage won't hold you accountable?"
"With just one word from the clan leader, you have no chance of succeeding."
Yongren tried his best to persuade him.
But Hyuga Teru wouldn't listen at all:
"Now that the clan leader has been taken away by the Hokage, this is our only chance."
The brave man was at a loss for what to do.
Only some of the more level-headed members of the tribe could stop them.
Suddenly, a riot broke out outside.
The unrest spread:
"Lord Hizashi is back!"
"Nonsense! Lord Hizashi is already dead!"
"It really is Lord Hizashi!"
"Oh my god!!"
"Lord Hizashi is still alive!"
Amidst the commotion, Risa pushed through the crowd and entered.
Everyone gradually quieted down, and all eyes were focused on Hizashi.
The person standing before them seemed to be a completely different person from the corpse that had been lying on the ground earlier.
Hijiri covered his forehead with a headband because the caged bird that used to be carved on his forehead had disappeared.
