Chapter 681

However, it was a pity.

Although following his hand seals, the Caged Bird on Hyuga Aya's forehead did indeed begin to flicker with light.

But...

Hyuga Aya's expression remained as calm as usual.

Yes.

Uchiha Jin's actions some time ago, although they did not completely eliminate the Caged Bird curse seal, had cut off the seal's connection to her flesh, internal organs, Byakugan, and even her soul.

Even if the Caged Bird lit up, it had no effect on her at all.

The next second.

Hyuga Aya felt the slight warmth on her forehead, but when her whole body remained unchanged, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Success!

The Main House's method of restraining her was useless!

Thinking of this, the happiness in her heart was indescribable.

Then.

Without any further hesitation, she waved her right hand gently, and the kunai in her hand directly cut Hyuga Yū's neck.

Sss!

As blood sprayed, a faint smell of blood permeated the air.

Hyuga Yū, dead!

After doing all this, Hyuga Aya stood up with a calm expression, wiped the blood off the kunai, and put it back into her chest.

She had a calm expression.

Even facing the surrounding Hyuga clansmen, even though she had killed a Hyuga Main House member, there was still no fear in her eyes.

Hyuga Yōtai: "..."

Hyuga Hiashi: "..."

Hyuga Hizashi: "..."

Others: "..."

Everyone was stunned.

Especially when looking at Hyuga Aya, their eyes were filled with disbelief.

Fear, confusion, resentment, excitement...

All sorts, very complex.

The Hyuga Main House members were fearful and confused, while the Branch House members were excited and agitated.

Yes.

They had been unhappy with the Hyuga Main House for a long time.

However.

Unlike Hyuga Aya, they didn't dare to resist.

So.

The moment they saw Hyuga Yū die, without the Main House needing to speak, the Branch House surrounded Hyuga Aya on their own.

They were just waiting for the order to be given, and they would take action.

This was also helpless.

Even if they didn't want to treat Hyuga Aya like this, for the sake of their own survival, they could only turn their weapons against this 'warrior'.

Hyuga Hizashi saw this and let out a sigh.

Through his two meetings with Hyuga Aya, he also knew that this girl was decisive and sharp, and once she made up her mind, she feared nothing.

But...

He truly didn't expect that Hyuga Aya would really dare to kill a Main House member!

Although he also hated the Main House, he was a kind person.

So.

Seeing Hyuga Yū die, he wasn't too happy; he felt more emptiness.

However.

After the sigh, there was also a trace of shock in his heart.

He had just seen with his own eyes that Hyuga Yōtai used the Caged Bird curse seal, but it clearly had no effect on Hyuga Aya.

So, it was true.

Hyuga Aya hadn't lied to him; Uchiha Jin truly had the ability to completely undo the Caged Bird curse seal.

Thinking of this, his heart became conflicted instead.

Because.

When he made the deal with Hyuga Aya before, his idea was actually very simple.

That was, to protect his child.

As long as Hyuga Aya took Neji away, it would be enough to avoid him having the Caged Bird carved into him in the future.

As for himself.

As the Branch House leader, even if he couldn't stand the Caged Bird.

He still had the spirit of dedication to the clan; after all, who made him a Hyuga, and the Clan Head was his own older brother.

As for persuading the Hyuga Branch House, that was just something he said casually.

Essentially.

He didn't think Uchiha Jin had the ability to truly solve the Caged Bird.

He didn't hold a grudge against Hyuga Aya.

She was just a bird longing for freedom; wasn't he the same?

So.

If he had a choice, he would certainly be willing to help.

And he didn't think Hyuga Aya was in danger of dying.

Even the Hyuga clan had to consider Uchiha Jin's face!

She was just a Hyuga Branch House member; as long as the Uchiha were willing to pay some price, the Hyuga clan wouldn't be too disrespectful.

Anyway, with the Caged Bird, Hyuga Aya's Byakugan couldn't be taken by other ninja villages.

Anyway, they were all Konoha ninja clans, so just turn a blind eye.

But, unexpectedly.

Hyuga Aya hadn't lied; Uchiha Jin truly had the ability to solve it.

What to do?

Should the deal with Hyuga Aya continue?

Thinking of the numb, angry, stifled, and desperate eyes of the Branch House members, Hyuga Hizashi's mind became very chaotic.

The Hyuga clan could not do without the Branch House!

Otherwise.

Relying only on those Main House trash, the Hyuga clan would be finished sooner or later.

But, the problem is.

The Hyuga Branch House was too innocent.

It was one thing when there was no way to solve it before, but now that there was a way, could he still deceive himself?

He fell into silence.

He had no interest in paying attention to the situation in front of him.

Just at this moment.

Hyuga Hiashi spoke.

His tone was very indifferent, even carrying a trace of coldness.

"Hyuga Aya, you have gone too far!"
