Chapter 197

【Jiraiya: How come I feel like this method of awakening the eye is even more blood-soaked than the Sharingan?】

【Tsunade: Having to sacrifice one's own clansmen to awaken this kind of Kekkei Genkai… it's too cruel!】

【Orochimaru: Hehe… that's perfectly normal. The stronger the Kekkei Genkai, the more restrictive its conditions… Whoever came up with this method must have already sacrificed quite a few of their clansmen.】

【Tobirama Senju: That Hyuga Tenzou is truly a fool. Even the person who gave him this method couldn't defeat Big Brother himself, so what makes him think that just because he awakened the Tenseigan he can defeat Big Brother!?】

【Oonoki: There's an undisguised ambition in his eyes. This isn't the first time I've seen that kind of ambition. Perhaps from the very start, he was never willing to remain a subsidiary clan of the Senju.】

【Kakashi Hatake: The Shimura clan and the Sarutobi clan have already vanished. Surely the Hyuga clan won't follow in their footsteps… At this rate, the history of this world is probably going to diverge more and more from what we know.】

【Uchiha Madara: Hmph! Kid… ever since this Hashirama made a different choice, the development of this world has long since been completely different. Do you still think it's going to follow the original history?】

……

"These are all the members of the Hyuga clan's branch family."

"They are all dissatisfied with the oppression of the Hyuga clan's main family, and also dissatisfied with Hyuga Tenzou's methods."

Hyuga Tenzou was monitoring Hyuga Kazuki,

but wasn't Hyuga Kazuki also monitoring him?

The instant Hyuga Tenzaku opened a transmission to head to the moon,

Hyuga Kazuki reported this matter to Hashirama Senju.

She also knew that Hyuga Tenzou had obtained the method to awaken the Tenseigan on the moon,

but Hyuga Kazuki was not worried in the slightest.

Even Otsutsuki Seishi had fallen at the hands of Hashirama Senju,

so what could Hyuga Tenzou possibly change?

Choosing Hashirama Senju as his opponent was his greatest blunder,

his ending had long since been sealed!!

The branch family clansmen behind Hyuga Kazuki

were all looking at Hashirama Senju with uneasy, anxious expressions.

And within that uneasy expression,

there was also a trace of hope and longing!!

When they saw the Caged Bird seal on Hyuga Kazuki's forehead being broken,

they were utterly shocked!!!

Every single person in the branch family, high and low,

not a single one of them did not long to have the Caged Bird seal on their forehead broken.

But in the history of the Hyuga clan,

there had never been a single branch family member who could achieve this.

Yet Hyuga Kazuki had somehow broken the Caged Bird seal on her forehead.

When Hyuga Kazuki brought them here,

they learned

that it was the man before them, hailed as the God of the Shinobi World, who had broken Hyuga Kazuki's Caged Bird seal.

And Hyuga Kazuki told them

that Hashirama Senju could break the Caged Bird seal on all of their foreheads,

as long as they offered their loyalty!!

"Lord Hashirama, as long as you can help us break the Caged Bird seal,"

"we will do anything you ask… even if it costs us our lives."

The man at the head suddenly dropped to his knees,

and kowtowed loudly to Hashirama Senju!!

And upon seeing his action,

the rest of the branch family clansmen followed suit and knelt down!

Hashirama Senju merely waved his hand.

"It's not that dramatic."

"I don't need you to give me your lives."

"I just feel that compared to the main family, I prefer the look in your eyes."

"I can see the unwillingness in your hearts and your desire to grow stronger…"

"If you want to thank someone… thank Kazuki…"

After saying this,

Hashirama Senju simply waved his hand,

and everyone present felt a warm sensation on their foreheads,

and immediately after,

the feeling of being controlled that had lingered in their minds vanished without a trace!!

When they looked at each other's foreheads again,

they discovered

that the mark that had plagued them since birth had also completely disappeared!!

Tears streamed uncontrollably down the faces of every single person in the branch family!!

They had long lost count of how long they had been waiting for this moment!!

I don't know how long I've been looking forward to this!!

Seeing this scene, Hyuga Kaguya,

she was also sincerely happy for these clansmen of hers!!

When she herself had unsealed the Caged Bird seal,

her expression was no better than these clansmen's!!

Every branch family member of the Hyuga clan,

the thing they most longed for from birth was to unseal the Caged Bird on their foreheads!!

After the joy subsided,

everyone looked at Hashirama Senju with eyes filled with incomparable reverence and shock!!

They could not understand how Hashirama Senju had accomplished this,

just a casual wave of his hand,

and the problem that had plagued them for countless years was resolved so easily!!

This god-like feat was simply beyond their imagination,

leaving them unable to comprehend it!!

If he had not yet stepped into the Six Paths level,

Hashirama Senju unsealing these Caged Bird seals might not have been so certain!!

But after he stepped into the Six Paths level,

his control over power had already reached an extremely monstrous degree!!

While breaking the Caged Bird seals on these Hyuga clansmen's foreheads,

he was one hundred percent certain not to damage these people's brains,

preventing the main family's control from activating!

……

Seeing this, Neji Hyuga's entire eyes turned red,

like a furious beast!!

As for the feelings of these Hyuga branch family members,

he understood them very well.

It's just that these branch family clansmen,

they were far luckier than him.

They had another First Hokage to help them unseal the Caged Bird on their foreheads,
