Chapter 179: Hold It—That's Wrong, Shut Up!

The night before, within the Uchiha Clan.

Mikoto was washing dishes; probably because Yuzhi had come, she sent all the servants home to rest and personally cooked to treat Yuzhi.

After the meal, she naturally had to clean up herself, but she seemed to enjoy it.

Only thinking that Yuzhi never actually savored the food, just a "ninja mode" way of eating, made her a bit uneasy.

"No wonder Hikari said, for a guy like Yuzhi, non‑poisonous things are food, poisonous things are medicinal herbs, and truly hard to swallow are building materials."

Although Yuzhi doesn't have much time to come often, Hikari has more time, and with Sasuke as a link, plus Mikoto is quite good at making friends.

As time went on, Hikari and Mikoto's relationship wasn't bad, and they discussed more matters.

The crucial thing is, she suddenly couldn't recall what she had done last night.

"For the rest of my life, please teach me, Hikari."

A Hyuga Jonin frowned, but considering Hyuga Hishisa's position, he finally lowered his voice and said.

But after thinking it over, she thought it wasn't a big deal.

"Although I don't know what it is for now, I think it's definitely something we need."

"This also fated that neither we nor they can escape, so what's unacceptable about freedom in another form?"

However, Hyuga Hishisa shook his head, then soon spoke with some contempt and helplessness.

"Tch, who would believe your words."

Yuzhi opened his eyes, blinked, and then smiled as he spoke to Hikari.

Although he drank alcohol yesterday, that little amount made no difference to him compared to not drinking.

"And if I really want a child, shouldn't it be with you?"

"I'm not going to capture anyone; I just want to see Sasuke!"

Hikari heard that and couldn't hold back, "What? You're feeling smug, aren't you?"

Seeing Yuzhi's expression, she instantly understood that, although he said nothing, he indeed seemed smug.

If it were someone else, they'd probably act like this, but facing this true 'living ancestor', Yuzhi thought it best to be cautious.

"Sorry for making you work hard last night."

Actually, regarding how to proceed, Yuzhi harbored some doubts, and after pondering, he thought the best method might be 'fight poison with poison'!

Indra and Ashura are true brothers in the proper sense, and their powers seem to counter each other, but ultimately their essence is a mutual fusion.

However, creating a Sasuke who constantly possesses Indra and Ashura's powers greatly excited Yuzhi.

He just hadn't expected that he would be discovered so easily, which made him a little embarrassed.

What puzzled them a bit was, what does it mean to make the 'cage become one's own camouflage'?

Everyone present felt both puzzled and intensely enthusiastic; they truly longed for freedom, they really wanted freedom!

"Could you explain, Mr. Hishisa?"

"What?"

Seeing Yuzhi's fierce look and Sasuke's offended face, Mikoto was truly speechless.

"What's going on, what is this?"

I'm also taking advantage of the situation.

Just consider it giving her a buffer time to accept all this.

"Mr. Hishisa, there must be some hidden facts in here, right?"

Mikoto, hearing Yuzhi's words, couldn't help pursing her lips; Yuzhi is the Hokage, which indeed concerns the whole Leaf Village's vitality.

Hyuga Hishisa's words made everyone hold their breath; what does this mean, avoiding the main family and holding a private meeting?

Are you crazy?

"Is there any father like you? Will you treat Hikari's child the same way in the future?"

Thinking of this, Yuzhi couldn't help glancing at Mikoto, who lowered her head and wouldn't look at him, then at the photo of Uchiha Fugaku placed beside the bed.

But the problem is, she truly hadn't expected things to become so sudden, and recalling some details from yesterday, she became even more uneasy.

Hikari thought about it and simply nodded; she had never drunk alcohol before, so she naturally wanted to taste what the wine was like.

Moreover, thinking that this guy mentioned something about 'marriage' before leaving made her unable to stop daydreaming.

She then quietly removed the hand that was resting on her lower abdomen, prepared to stand up, and now only hoped Yuzhi would just lose his memory!

But just as she was bewildered, she suddenly felt her mind whirl, and the scenes from last night replayed in her head.

"Are you planning not to come back tonight?"

"Don't be like that…"

But it's unclear whether his sixth sense kicked in; he suddenly noticed the two people before him…

"Hm?"

"Father, could I have a younger brother or sister?"

The moment she regained consciousness, her body stiffened.

And at that age, this guy liked to hug me while sleeping, which didn't draw much of her attention.

Thinking of this, Yuzhi confirmed that he indeed had the 'Prime Minister's bearing', but since he wouldn't personally attend to everything, he wasn't the 'Zhuge Prime Minister'.

What made him feel even more embarrassed was that last night she seemed to be the more proactive one.

"That's hard to say, but I'm also working on it."

She hadn't considered how long the 'rest of life' concept lasted, but she still recalled Yuzhi's earlier words—

"Even if I pushed the person away, you, you guy, are still rebelling against the heavens, aren't you? Yet you didn't come back until such a late hour?"

Even if Yuzhi had thought of pulling her along before leaving, in the end Hikari still didn't agree.

As the elder's daughter who once married the Clan Leader, Mikoto's abilities have never been lacking; her pair of Three Tomoe Sharingan had already proven everything!

Moreover, from the family's changes up to now, she can see many things clearly and knows how to act, which shows that her heart is transparent.

"Now, even Madara Uchiha would have to call me 'Tai Gong', right?"

Although this cage is heavy, if we could change the method, wouldn't we still be soaring freely?

And he keeps saying he wants to become a disciple of you, Hokage.

As for the other Chunin and Jonin, without exception they are all people who despise the main family!

If she truly refuses, she can't act recklessly herself; even if he knows that as long as he persists a bit, Hikari might let him 'do as he pleases'.

Last night's smoothness also left him a bit bewildered, so even now his mind hasn't fully recovered.

Yuzhi blinked at Mikoto, then looked at Sasuke, deliberately making a face.

But when Naruto watches him, he can't hold back; he instantly feels he must behave, and even if he gets beaten, he can't be beaten in front of Naruto!

Then, as a true 'Asura', erasing the previous Asura's consciousness wouldn't be excessive, right?

The personnel gathered this time are not ordinary; besides members serving at various police department stations and some squad leaders.

Why are you even going against Tian Gang, now even the Land of Fire needs to be managed?

Hyuga Hisa naturally knows everyone's thoughts present; he silently nods and then continues.

"Hmm?"

"Is this person the Fifth Hokage, sir?"

Gently pulling away from Yuzhi's embrace, Hikari turned to glance at the still-sleeping Yuzhi, and spat at the guy in his heart.

Likewise, she has recovered from amnesia, so it's not that awkward anymore.

Shikamaru that kid, what does he have in his head all day?

Hyuga Hisa's words made everyone present fall silent again, although this outcome differs considerably from what they hoped for.

Yuzhi noticed Hikari's gaze, gave a light laugh and then asked.

But after the rejection, both sides began to merge, which can largely be understood as 'mutual understanding' and 'reconciliation'.

"This story is no longer just my story; it's our story, the one we both write and create together."

"After all, these two have essentially brought out the Sage of Six Paths..."

Likewise, they probably now know Yuzhi's attitude toward food.

"Have you all finished venting?"

I also remember that in Grass Country you used Amaterasu to protect me, accompanying me at every moment.

Because she clearly saw that this guy's eye corner was actually twitching.

"From now on, the Hyuga clan has no distinction between main and branch families; everyone must be marked with a Caged Bird!"

The control method is thus destroyed, only its basic ability remains, namely 'the eyes self-destruct after being forcibly removed'; nothing else will exist.

Under the reflection of the bright moonlight, only two elongated, overlapping shadows remained—

"Damn it, no wonder Yuzhi keeps shouting about quitting drinking; that's why!"

One Hyuga ninja, looking at the assembled personnel, asked with a puzzled expression.

Hikari sniffed, quickly gave an assessment, and Yuzhi smiled and said.

Hyuga Hisa had long known it would be like this; the deterrent power of the Caged Bird is truly beyond ordinary imagination, yet he still spoke in a deep voice.

As the thoughts in his mind gradually ceased, Hikari's face flushed bright red for a moment.

And they also noticed that although everyone was venting, Hyuga Hisa remained expressionless, sitting there, quietly watching the crowd.

For example, sending your whole family away neatly, and also digging up the ancestral tomb of your branch line, because your line doesn't deserve to be buried within the Hyuga clan.

"Then, when was that?"

Hikari's face turned slightly red; she set down the wine jar and muttered.

I still remember that when I was thirteen, Uchiha Fugaku forcibly demanded I join an almost certain-to-die mission.

"Forget it, consider it a cheap favor to you."

"Am I truly unable to leave that guy?"

That instantly made Yuzhi decide to pretend to sleep; he didn't mind, but he didn't know how Hikari would think, after all she had drunk quite a lot last night.

Although not many, simply changing to a big name is still fine.

And I will never forget you, who constantly reminds me to keep my original intention, so I don't let my mindset change because of status.

When Hikari heard Yuzhi's words, she was somewhat uneasy; after glaring at Yuzhi, she was too lazy to continue the topic.

"It smells okay, but no matter how good it is, it's a bit pungent."

Hikari froze in place; although she had already agreed with Yuzhi in her heart, this situation seemed beyond her expectations.

"Round and round, I didn't expect that in a flash, so many years had actually passed."

"He wants us to keep the Caged Bird."

But since he retained the 'Asura Power', why didn't he accept the arm later developed based on the 'Asura Power'?

"Of course, after all I'm his father, aren't I?"

Fortunately at that moment, Mikoto, who had already washed the dishes, walked in; hearing Sasuke's words, she couldn't help but add a sentence, and Yuzhi smiled and patted Sasuke's little head.

This made them realize that there might still be some choices!

"Hmm, did what a man should do."

"Sorry, I was thinking about something else."

"Looks like this is even more interesting; I've long been fed up with their lofty attitude!"

She glanced at the clothes on the floor, blushed, and stood up; now she just wants to avoid that bastard.

Yuzhi, seeing this, extended a hand and gently patted her back, watching her calm down a bit before stopping.

Yuzhi doesn't know how Hei Jue achieved it; perhaps Senju ZhuZhang died, or perhaps he used Yin-Yang Flight, or maybe the power of the Bloodline Web.

"And if we truly want to root out this will, the best method might actually be to fuse Asura's chakra, right?"

"Exactly, it's because I know I can't drink it that I said so."

"In fact, everyone in the Uchiha Clan hopes she will have a child with Yuzhi; after all, they're so powerful, what would their child become?"

"There are also many senior Chunin within the branch families, as well as some veteran Jonin!"

"Everyone in the Police Division follows Hinata Hisa without exception, since he holds the highest position in the Police Division among the Hyuga Clan."

"Especially, is it about each other's chakra?"

"Alright, don't scare him either."

"Yuzhi's words are gentle, yet within that gentleness there is firmness."

"But drinking that much in one go, even a man couldn't handle it."

"Hikari looked bewildered, but when she was a little more lucid, her body stiffened again."

"But this world has me, and I can be absolutely certain that my power is the power of Indra, so…"

"In fact, Yuzhi had already awakened, but after he woke up he didn't move."

"Or do you still want to hold the key yourself, make the cage your protective color, so you can try to become a bird that flies freely?"

"Hikari still pretended to be calm, speaking with that flat gaze and cool tone."

"Hikari leaned into Yuzhi's arms, smiling as she looked at Yuzhi."

"Activating the Sharingan of the Uchiha is extremely difficult; there are few Uchiha ninjas who possess the Sharingan."

"Most importantly, as the embodiment of Indra's obsession, Sasuke was ultimately defeated by Naruto, who represents Asura's obsession; this marks a complete end."

"Suddenly, Mikoto had a rather frightening thought and couldn't help glancing at Yuzhi."

"Nevertheless, thinking it over, his usual style has already determined that he will not go against Hikari's idea."

"It's just that he truly hasn't tasted the unique fragrance of the wine, and he doesn't find that slight intoxication particularly pleasant; on the contrary, it only makes him feel uncomfortable."

"Then, isn't this a kind of freedom after all?"

"Hold on, where are you going?"

"Hinata Hisa nodded, and, looking at the crowd's puzzled or angry gazes, spoke calmly."

"Don't be fooled by Mikoto's current gentle wife image that makes every 'Boss Cao' twitch his index finger, but others have the Three Tomoe…"

"However, I think I've finally gotten the answer."

"Indeed, changing the method is also a form of freedom."

"It's slightly spicy, but everything is fine."

"Hinata Hisa opened his eyes upon hearing that, and after his white eyes scanned everyone present, he spoke slowly."

"Yuzhi muttered to himself, wondering whether Sasuke truly possessed Asura's power in the original work; he was rather skeptical."

"A person with such great authority and power—there's only one like that in the Leaf Village!"

"Hinata Hisa understood the Jonin's meaning and gave a direct answer."

"And that time, a feeling of rebellion finally arose in my heart; I knew I couldn't continue like this, I knew I had to change everything."

"Perhaps because of family tradition, they didn't wear forehead protectors, but they all coincidentally tied headscarves around their foreheads."

"What's the problem?"

"Everyone, I've gathered you this time because there's an important matter to discuss."

"In their view, the Leaf Village shouldn't be that foolish as to propose a condition that everyone finds unacceptable!"

"How about Father stays here tonight? I heard Shikamaru say that to have a child, the parents need to live together!"

"After pondering for a moment, Yuzhi finally spoke helplessly."

"Moreover, Yuzhi knows that, unless something unexpected occurs, the reincarnations of Indra and Asura will most likely be completely ended with Naruto and Sasuke."

"What a bastard, what on earth is this person thinking?!"

"With the Caged Bird in hand, you only need to trigger its seal; no matter how strong you are, you cannot endure the infinite pain emanating from the eyes and the brain."

"What are you pretending, now that you're awake stop pretending."

"Almost everyone present among them has fought in wars, and many of them have done one particular thing."

"We've already embraced the Caged Bird; now I'm even more eager to see what those clan heads will be like after being marked with the Caged Bird!"

"During combat they deliberately expose the Caged Bird's seal, and once they do so, it immediately dispels many people's curiosity about their Byakugan."

"Yuzhi shrugged and said with a smile, acknowledging his 'Jian'an spirit', but he was even clearer about one thing."

"Yuzhi's earlier words had already made her a bit uneasy; she felt she needed some quiet, but after Yuzhi left, she felt the world became too silent."

"Although the main clan members don't mind the branch families gathering together, they aren't concerned and don't care that these people might cause trouble."

"However, some Hyuga ninjas remained silent, merely furrowing their brows in thought."

"Since everyone is quiet now, I suppose I should be allowed to finish what I'm saying."

"I really didn't expect you would do something like this."

"That question instantly made everyone present look at Hinata Hisa; if the Fifth Hokage himself promised, it would definitely give them more confidence and assurance."

"The moonlight was hazy, and in Yuzhi's home, within the garden full of flowers and plants, Yuzhi and Hikari leaned together, watching the moonlight in the sky."

"Yuzhi wrapped his arms tightly around Hikari and whispered."

"Moreover, although Yuzhi has many thoughts, he is clear about one thing: Hikari is his wife."

"Is everyone present?"

"You have long been part of my story, and I can no longer be without you."

"I don't know, but as long as my story continues to be written, I think it will never lack you."

"Moreover, your friends might also get implicated; whether they act or not, they could be treated as accomplices!"

"Therefore, members of the Hyuga branch families are consistently cautious; even if they harbor hatred, they know they cannot act recklessly."

: "I always remember the moment when I first found you in Autumn Moon Valley, and I also always remember how you were crying and wanting to destroy the world back then."

Translation: "I always remember the moment when I first found you in Autumn Moon Valley, and I always remember how you were crying and wanting to destroy the world back then."

We need to keep the meaning exactly. Let's produce: "I always remember the moment when I first found you in Autumn Moon Valley, and I always remember how you were crying and wanting to destroy the world back then."

: same as 【182】.

: "Sure enough, after the group quieted down, Hyuga Clan Ri Cha continued speaking."

line includes commentary but no explicit English translation. However they gave the translation in the 【199】 line's "Means:" part. So maybe we should output the translation from the nearest "Means:"? That seems messy.

Thus line: "Sure enough, after these people quieted down, Hyuga Clan Ri Cha then continued speaking."

【199】

Thus translation: "Sure enough, after these people quieted down, Hyuga Clan Ri Cha then continued speaking."

Sure enough, after this group of people quieted down, Hyuga Hichiri then continued speaking.

【202】

Sometimes, even Hikari can't help thinking this way, but she knows she actually already approved of this idea.

【205】

However, Yuzhi stroked his chin; his standing in Konoha—no, in the Fire Country—should also count as that of a prime minister, right?

【210】

We need to keep the ellipsis and quotes. We'll keep as is.

After all, he's the big shot in the vast Leaf Village; even this small plot in the Fire Country still lets him have a say.

【213】

Indeed, the caged bird seal remains, and they will still bear its seal.

【216】

What's the matter, kid? You're not even listening to your mother anymore, are you?

Translate: "What's up, kid, you're not even listening to your mother's words, right?"

【221】

Since you're not 'Zhuge prime minister', and you like the Three Kingdoms so much, then you must really be 'Cao prime minister'.

【224】

Is it us, or Leaf Village, or should I say...

But we need to keep the trailing period. We'll translate: "Is it us, or Leaf Village, or should I say..."

【230】

Translation: "Sorry, no."

Actually, it's quite simple.

Translation: "Actually, it's simple."

【236】

Translation: "What are you doing? You don't drink alcohol like that."

I asked you a question last time, and you did answer me; this time, can you give me an answer?

Translation: "Last time I asked you a question, you did answer me; this time can you give me an answer?"

【242】

Note: no quotation marks. This line is a statement. Translate: "Think about family and friends; better to endure it."

Hyuga Hichiri gathered everyone this time and spoke in the same way; how could they not start thinking in a terrible direction?

【247】

We need to keep the question mark. So: "Hyuga Clan Ri Cha summoned everyone this time, still speaking like this; how could they not think of a terrible direction?"

Mr. Hichiri, I hope you can calm down a bit.

【250】

Alright, don't talk about that anymore.

Translation: "Alright, don't say these things."

【255】

But no one can reactivate the caged bird, no one can use the caged bird to do something to us, and no one is above them.

【258】

What important matter? Why such a fuss? What orders did those main house bastards give?

【261】

I have indeed quit drinking, but I feel the atmosphere is nice now, and Mei Qin also gave us some, so I'm asking.

【264】

Saying this, Yuzhi paused slightly; he gazed, not knowing whether it was due to the wine or his words, and Hikari's face grew increasingly flushed as she laughed.

【267】

They're not fools; they can sense the implied meaning, and such treasonous words cause subtle shifts in their expressions.

Translate: "They're not fools; they can hear the implied meaning, and such 'treasonous' words cause a subtle change in their complexions!"

【273】

Translation: "Don't talk nonsense."

It really does seem a bit like a biological father and son.

Translation: "It really does seem a bit like a biological father and son."

【278】

This is a Hyuga Clan Jonin who hadn't taken part in the earlier scolding, speaking softly.

【282】

Translation: "It should be that he took the initiative, and then I was reluctant but welcoming, right?"

Mei Qin didn't think further; she simply smiled and said to Yuzhi and Sasuke.

【287】

We need to keep the saying verb: "said". So: "Mei Qin stopped thinking further, and simply smiled at Yuzhi and Sasuke, saying."

If there comes a day when someone both powerful and strong finds you and asks you a question.

Translation: "If there comes a day when a person with great power and strength finds you and asks you a question."

【292】

Hikari felt a moment of doubt, while Yuzhi shrugged.

【295】

Hyuga Hichiri opened his mouth expressionlessly; although it was hard to speak, he had to say.

Hyuga Clan Ri Cha opened his mouth expressionlessly; although it was hard to speak, he had to say.

【301】

Translation: "Father, it seems like you didn't hear what I said."

Actually, for him, he still prefers beer; at least it won't be that unpleasant.

Translation: "Actually, for him, he still likes beer the most; at least it won't be so uncomfortable."

【306】

Hikari's gaze also became a bit dazed; she quietly looked at Yuzhi, not knowing how long it took before a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

【310】

Translation: "Could it be…"

While I was drunk, what did you do?

Translation: "While I was drunk, what did you do!"

【315】

On one hand, the original work didn't carefully depict this matter, but when Dou was treating Sasuke, it's hard to say whether he wouldn't inject something into him.

【319】

Removing the consciousness of Indra's chakra within Sasuke's body, although doing this is somewhat risky, Yuzhi feels he can try it.

What does this mean?

Translation: "What does this mean?"

【324】

I don't know how long it's been, seeing that time has slowly approached around nine o'clock, Hikari really doesn't want to wait any longer!

【327】

Speaking of which, you went to Mei Qin's to grab me, right?

【330】

Family is not just Hyuga Clan Ri Cha's weak point; it's everyone's weak point in this place!

【334】

Translation: "I know your worries, but I want to ask everyone a question."

As the saying goes, 'Wei Wu brandishes the whip for a moment of pleasure,' but after that pleasure it's utterly miserable.

【337】

Moreover, he's been thinking about it all along; after so long, there's still no movement, which makes him somewhat unable to hold back.

【340】

Hikari was somewhat dazed by Yuzhi's gesture, but Yuzhi had already embraced her and then softly said.

【343】

Even if no overly perverted entity appears, as long as one inherits the talent of either of them, they could become the banner of the future Uchiha!

【346】

Moreover, everyone, I don't want you to be sad; the caged bird seal has been in effect for a thousand years with no one cracking it, and we, our friends, relatives, and children have all been marked.

【349】

And you, don't think I can't see your ulterior motives; do you really want her to bear you a child?

Translation: "And you, don't think I can't see your ulterior motives; do you really want her to bear you a child?"

【354】

As a ninja, respecting the daimyo is fine, but wanting the strong ninjas to regard the daimyo as the 'sole sun'.

【357】

Believe it or not, I'll call Naruto over, then take off your pants and hang you up to beat you?

【360】

They have no hope of escaping; letting the main house people join in would also be enough to make them happy.

【363】

I don't know how long he's been holding it in, when Yuzhi suddenly had this thought, and at that moment Hikari also woke up.

【367】

Translation: "They only killed you in an instant, but you need to do more and possibly settle one."

Yuzhi indeed doesn't understand why so many people like drinking alcohol; before crossing over, he also wasn't someone who had never drunk.

【370】

That's appropriate.

Translation: "That's appropriate."

【375】

Yuzhi felt a bit embarrassed; although zoning out isn't a big deal, for this little guy it might be somewhat heartbreaking.

【379】

Translation: "How could that be, don't talk nonsense!"

This really makes Hikari unable to bear it; what kind of jerk did she marry?

【382】

This is your story; I know it all, you've told me before.

Translation: "This is your story; I know it all, you've told me."

You keep saying thank you to me, but actually I think I should be the one saying it to you.

After a while, a Hyuga branch family Jonin could no longer hold back and asked.

"This time we still hope, sir, that you can finish speaking, so that we can have a better consideration."

It's hard to say; when Indra's chakra detected Asura's chakra entering, the body manifested a rejection, which was actually an unconscious repulsion by Indra.

Putting down the cup of wine, Yuzhi extended his hand to stop Hikari, raised his head to gaze at the bright moonlight above, and suddenly laughed, saying.

"Right, since everyone wants it, then they can't escape either!"

"I don't know what happened; there are some things we all think about and desire, but you also know.

Although her heart was somewhat uneasy, Meiqin quickly readjusted, shook her head in her mind, and said.

"We are merely a flock of caged birds; for our families we must all exercise restraint."

But soon, Sasuke seemed to realize something, and he instantly looked at Yuzhi with a surprised expression.

Although they themselves didn't know why they were doing this, they still couldn't help it a bit.

"I just didn't expect that the boy who swore back then has now stood on the cloud peak?"

At this point, Yuzhi's hand gently brushed Hikari's cheek, which was flushed with a red hue, and he said softly.

Hikari pursed their lips, but after glancing at Yuzhi beside them, they thought it better not to continue speaking about this.

Soon, the two opened the sake and placed it before them; the rich aroma still wafted from the bottle.

Everyone is already dead; Yuzhi thought they should go in peace, there is no need to continue existing in the mortal world.

"No, you really have that thought?"

Sasuke subconsciously patted his own buttocks; that wasn't good news for him.

Having clarified this point, everyone's gaze in the room changed, the yearning for freedom, the main family's oppression of the branch families, and it was driving them nearly mad.

"Even the compromised freedom, they crave it immensely!"

"Moreover, everyone, there are people who promised me that if I agree, they will provide us with unexpected things."

After the Sage of Six Paths stripped away his Ultimate Shadow Release, his Reincarnation Eye did not disappear.

Although they had long noticed someone hugging them from behind at the waist, the familiar feeling made them naturally realize that the guy was Yuzhi.

Most of the alcohol in this world is sake; Yuzhi thought the problem probably wouldn't be too big, right?

"Cough cough cough"

After this, perhaps the main family of the Hyuga clan will pass a resolution.

"What exactly does that big figure's words mean?"

"Because our Fifth Hokage decided, he doesn't know this event happened."

——

In the early morning, as sunlight slowly streamed from the windowsill into the room, extending across the floor to the bedding, Hikari opened his eyes, a bit dazed.

That big figure's meaning was simple: the caged bird still has a purpose, after all we Hyuga are not Uchiha Clan.

"Forever, what a beautiful future indeed."

"You, my Hokage wife."

"I couldn't persuade him, so I need you to come."

"Getting beaten isn't a big deal; being hit by one's own father is perfectly normal, isn't it?"

"It's better to continue like this than to be controlled by another family!"

Heaven knows how exaggerated a brother complex can be for someone of the Uchiha Clan; when this guy heard Yuzhi say 'my child', his eyes lit up instantly.

While he was pondering, he suddenly felt his hand being constantly tugged and shaking.

She hadn't yet remembered to step away, but was suddenly grabbed by Yuzhi, and then fell entirely into Yuzhi's arms.

At the thought that the main family would also be labeled as caged birds, the Hyuga branch family members instantly became excited.

What Yuzhi didn't expect was that Hikari, looking at the small sake flask, hesitated for a moment, then in one breath drank all the sake!

That caused her to cough immediately; although the sake wasn't high in alcohol and wasn't that strong.

This indicates either his body retained Asura's power, or the Reincarnation Eye, once awakened, does not regress.

Such an action made their identities obvious; they are all members of the Hyuga branch family!

"Mr. Richa, gathering them secretly so late, is there something?"

Although feeling shy inside, Hikari forced composure, trying to maintain the demeanor of their first meeting with this bastard, and said coolly.

"You tell me, how long will this story continue?"

Yuzhi chuckled and said something, while also sipping the sake in his cup.

Sasuke, still enthusiastic, asked, glancing at his mother, then looking at Yuzhi, and suddenly exclaimed excitedly.

Their 'orphaned widows' don't drink, so they took the opportunity to give it to Yuzhi.

"Mr. Richa, now you can say directly who that person is, right?"

After all, in her memory, she was the one who took the initiative to kiss Yuzhi, and although she was then taken back to the room by Yuzhi, the crucial point is she didn't resist!

Once these questions were clarified, Hikari could no longer hold back at all, although she truly didn't reject

"Didn't you say you gave up drinking?"

This results in almost every clan member possessing Byakugan power; if such power isn't guarded against, huge problems can easily arise.

"You"

He hadn't had time to make any decision when suddenly the room's door was pushed open.

As expected, when Hyuga's Richa spoke, everyone present collectively freaked out!

Sasuke's words really made Meiqin unable to hold on, and Yuzhi also...

That feeling of wanting to vomit

"Isn't this just a remake of 'holding the emperor hostage to command the lords'?"

What I just said is already very clear; we intend to turn the "prison" into our "protective color."

Because she felt sore all over and also a kind of indescribable fatigue?

Hikari now feels her head a bit swollen; she has never experienced this feeling before.

"As long as it's my child, I would probably consider……"

"Hmm"

Yuzhi rubbed her chin and nodded seriously; this statement left Sasuke and Mei Qin dumbfounded.

"Your father might be thinking about village matters; don't forget he is the Hokage."

"Really, you didn't even ask us whether we want it or not."

At least those of the main house are still nominally Hyuga clan members; the family's honor and pride have not been completely trampled, and they do not want to become others' slaves.

For a ninja, the impact of having one arm on combat power is huge; even if Sasuke is strong, he cannot possibly ignore this.

Hearing Yuzhi's words, Hikari unconsciously let out a soft hum; soon she slightly lifted her head to look at Yuzhi's earnest gaze, then lightly nodded.

Hikari murmured in her heart, watching Yuzhi's face slowly approach; she blushed slightly and closed her eyes.

"No, what are you doing? I didn't do anything wrong; you tormented me all night, and now you're coming again?"

Although it was Hikari who came to capture them, Mei Qin still sent some gifts; this sake is said to be a treasure of the Mei Qin family.

Sizzle—

Perhaps because she gave such an answer, Hikari relaxed for a moment, and her whole body was no longer as tense as before.

Even if it's just a bit of Madara Uchiha's light, and also because of the Sage of Six Paths' little brother black absolute causing trouble.

The Indra chakra that Yuzhi obtained itself has no consciousness; it is pure chakra, and when he injected the White Absolute Cells, it was actually already considered to have had its consciousness stripped away.

Turning his head, he saw Sasuke looking at him with a wronged expression.

"What the hell is going on?"

The hazy moonlight, silver moonlight showered onto both of them, a gentle breeze brushed, lifting the ends of their hair.

In a room of the Hyuga clan, Hiza sat calmly there, and in the room also sat many Hyuga ninjas.

"Also, what does this bastard mean by 'on top' and 'move yourself'?"

But upon reflection, isn't this actually a kind of freedom?

Likewise, when you feel the genuine emotions of this world's existence and understand where the essence of its problems lies.

"For the rest of my life, may I trouble you for further guidance?"

But the crucial point is, she discovered in astonishment that her clothes seemed to have disappeared!

Everyone will treat you like a delicious pastry, and everyone will ruthlessly plunder you; this is almost unavoidable.

"Want a drink?"

However, he at the time also had some aftertaste, and he himself never imagined that this matter would naturally come to this point!

Since Hikari opened the Eternal Eye, and after they returned from the moon, Yuzhi has been constantly thinking about how to "enlighten".

"Who will be responsible for controlling the caged bird from now on?"

"Really spicy, I also can't figure out what those who love drinking are thinking."

"This kind of... thing?"

However, the idea of injecting will into chakra is itself a rather absurd setting; perhaps my method can be useful in some situations.

However, at that moment, another Hyuga ninja hesitated for a moment before speaking up.

But we Hyuga, once we reach a certain age and undergo certain training, can wield the power of the Byakugan!

This is our advantage, but also our disadvantage; we need to protect our eyes, protect our bloodline, and thus the caged bird naturally came into being.

They long to break free from the caged bird and grasp ultimate freedom for themselves, but now they have received such a result—how can they endure it?

Moreover, they can roughly tell who said this, letting that bastard completely dominate over them, which also contradicts the education they have received for so many years.

At this moment, the vast majority of people are filled with righteous indignation, and they already have an idea in their minds.

"Yeah, but the story has already changed, because."

"Please, even if you agree, don't trick Sasuke; besides, if I really wanted to, I wouldn't come back, would I?"

"Thank you, Hikari; without you, there would naturally be no present me."

"Unfortunately, I currently lack that ability, and my ideas are merely speculation."

Yuzhi sat up, sized Hikari up and down, which instantly made Hikari's face flush.

Nevertheless, she forced herself to stay calm, quietly pulling the blanket up to cover her chest while speaking coldly.

"It's rare that you come over once; you might as well spend more time with Sasuke."

"Er, good morning."

"Whatever you like."

Do you want to continue like this, muddled and manipulated, unable to escape the cage for a lifetime, becoming a bird that cannot fly?

Just thinking about that, Hikari couldn't help but glare fiercely at Yuzhi again, and her expression instantly turned both angry and amused.

That you who resolutely gave up your own inner thoughts and even tried to stop me.

However, Hikari, though leaning on Yuzhi, still looked at him with disbelief.

Yuzhi quietly looked at Hikari and spoke softly.

"We all know the suffering the caged bird brings us, but we cannot deny one thing: the protection the caged bird gives the Hyuga!"

"It is precisely because of the caged bird that we have avoided problems in our inheritance; it is also because of the caged bird that our bloodline has not been plundered."

Everyone present fell silent; the cost of using the Byakugan is indeed far lower than that of the Sharingan.

"I feel now that you said you'd quit drinking back then because you knew alcohol tastes bad, so you deliberately said that, right?"

Afterward, Yuzhi looked at Hikari and walked in with a blank expression—

The moon is bright, the stars are sparse.

「Since you're awake, why pretend to sleep? 」

「Sorry, lately I've had a lot on my plate and been busy, with even more to handle—after all, the livelihood of the whole village, and indeed the whole Land of Fire, rests on me. 」

Yuzhi sat in the room, listening to Sasuke talk about school gossip while also unable to stop secretly pondering Sasuke's future path.

「It's normal, after all, is this alcohol? Though I don't really get why everyone loves drinking so much, maybe there's indeed a special flavor to it. 」

At that moment, a Hyuga Clan Jonin wryly shook his head, while another ninja from the Police Department suddenly burst out laughing.

After a while, another Hyuga Clan Jonin finally spoke.

Especially now, he has basically confirmed his own chakra.

As long as my story continues to be written, I want you to never be missing from it.

「No, it's not their orders; in fact, we even have to avoid them! 」

Hikari let out a dissatisfied hum and spoke up, although she indeed thought that, she absolutely would not admit it!

Hikari heard Yuzhi's words but didn't answer; instead, she slightly raised her hands and wrapped her arms around Yuzhi's neck, then pressed her face against his.

「No one will control it. 」

Yuzhi had no idea what Hikari was thinking; he looked at the girl bathed in moonlight before him with an amused smile and said.

Boasting to a child—really okay……

But Naruto and Sasuke have already experienced the ultimate Yin-Yang Release, and they also had the cheat removed by the Sage of Six Paths.

Hyuga Richa's words were extremely obscure, but everyone who heard them was stunned.

Even making the ninjas regard the daimyo as the sole 'jewel', rather than their shadow—no one would likely agree to that!

「Stop. No, shut up! 」

At that moment, Hikari felt that this story should still end with a period.

Because this guy, it's too much.
