Chapter 75

Just as he said this,

the smile on Hashirama Senju's face vanished completely, leaving nothing but a flat indifference.

Only now did Hyuga Kazuki understand—

the ambition of the man before her exceeded everyone's imagination!!!!

Her own father, Hyuga Tensou,

had actually dared to scheme alongside a fierce tiger!!!

But how could a weak herbivore ever become the partner of a fearsome predator?

60. I treat you as a friend, yet you want to sleep with me?

【Orochimaru: ……The First Hokage can actually do something like this? ……】

【Orochimaru: I've done plenty of research on the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan in the past, but it always ended up going nowhere……The Caged Bird seal is just too troublesome……】

【Tobirama Senju: If it were my big brother here, I'd definitely think he was lying……But that big brother over there, I have no idea……】

【Neji Hyuga: ……There really is someone who can undo the Caged Bird, someone who can change the fate of the Hyuga clan's branch family?!!!!】

【Madara Uchiha: Heh……a weak clan truly has weak reasons for being weak. Instead of properly developing their own power, they actually plant restrictions on their own kin……】

【Fourth Raikage: Speaking of which……the Hyuga clan's Caged Bird seal really is troublesome. Otherwise we would have gotten our hands on the Hyuga's Byakugan long ago……】

【Hiashi Hyuga: ……the Hidden Cloud Village!!! You lot want to start another war?! Even though we've already forgiven you for what happened before, I can't believe you actually dare bring it up again!!!】

【Hashirama Senju: ……The villages are still at war with each other? ……Did none of this change after I founded the Hidden Leaf Village?】

【Obito Uchiha: Heh……!! Never expected this. Looks like our God of Ninja is even more naive than anyone imagined!!!】

Hiashi Hyuga saw the content on the screen,

and his face turned an ashen blue!!!

Hashirama Senju's method shown in the black-framed screen,

for their Hyuga clan,

could be considered bad news.

He never could have imagined

that Hashirama Senju actually had a way to undo the Caged Bird seal!!!

If this were just a false piece of news, that would be that.

But if Hashirama Senju truly could take this step,

and the screen displayed the specific process by which he did so,

then what an enormous shock it would deal to their Hyuga clan—

Hiashi Hyuga didn't dare imagine it!!!!

The reason the Hyuga clan's main family could firmly hold the high ground,

and keep the branch family beneath their feet, was precisely the Caged Bird seal!!!!

It could be said that

with the Caged Bird alone,

their Hyuga clan had long stood in an invincible position!!!

They could arbitrarily control the life and death of any branch family member!!!!

If the Caged Bird seal were gone……

Hiashi Hyuga, who was staring at the screen, couldn't help but shiver!!!

He knew all too well how much the branch family hated the main family.

Just a difference in the time of birth,

and it resulted in completely different fates for the main family and the branch family!!!!

Perhaps it was just his imagination,

but as the contents of the black-framed screen kept unfolding,

the looks in many Hyuga clan's eyes began to turn strange.

A very odd atmosphere was beginning to spread.

……

Listening to Hashirama Senju's words,

Hyuga Kazuki's chest rose and fell rapidly.

She had already accepted her fate,

believing there could be no chance for a turnaround!!!!

But the news Hashirama Senju had just revealed

made a sliver of hope rise unbidden in her heart!!!

At this moment she was like a person in desperate straits,

gripping tightly at a single thread of spider silk,

still struggling to climb upward!!!

At the same time, an intense fear welled up within her—

she was also afraid this was just something Hashirama Senju had said offhandedly,

merely to toy with her.

For a person already mired in despair, what they fear most is not remaining in despair forever.

It is having hope,

only to discover that this hope,

It's nothing but a false hope!!!!

However, she herself knew exactly what status Hashirama Senju held!!!

Even her own father, Hyuga Tenzang, treated him with such deference,

going to great lengths to win Hashirama Senju over,

one could well imagine,

Hashirama Senju's strength was surely far more terrifying than she had imagined!!

Moreover,

when she came again,

she had already known Hashirama Senju's identity and standing.

She knew,

Hashirama Senju had already been hailed by the outside world as a walking god,

the existence closest to the Sage of Six Paths!!!

And after meeting Hashirama Senju in person,

she could feel it even more clearly,

this man who looked about the same age as herself,

just how powerful her strength was!!!

Just by standing there,

Hyuga Kazuki felt her scalp go numb!!!

This also filled her heart with boundless fear!!

"As long as you can help me…"

"I am willing to pay any price!!"

Taking a deep breath,

Hyuga Kazuki said firmly!!!

Anyway, in her eyes,

she had nothing left to lose!!!

So she did not care what dangers there were!!

As long as there was anything that could save her,

she would grip it tightly in her hands!!!
