The path twists and turns forward. The quiet streets are melodious under the moonlight. The fragrance of grass floats in the air. The May breeze hugs the earth.
Standing under the moonlight, Uchiha Tatsu gradually faded the smile on his face, "Just tell me. What do you want from me? Hinata Himeji."
Hyuga Himeji lowered his eyes slightly, "Do you know that the Hyuga clan and the Hyuga clan are separated?"
Sure enough, it was because of this kind of thing.
As the descendants of the Otsutsuki clan, the Hyuga clan naturally has its own ancient traditions. As time goes by, this tradition will turn into complex contradictions. If conflicts are not resolved, they will break out sooner or later.
The current contradictions of the Hyuga clan are concentrated in the clan and branch families.
Uchiha Tatsumi's understanding of the Hyuga clan is only based on comics.
"I would like to hear the details." Uchiha Tatsumi said seriously.
Hyuga Himeji spoke slowly, "The Hyuga clan is an ancient clan, and the Byakugan is also famous as one of the three major pupil techniques. But the Byakugan is different from the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan."
"During the Warring States Period, many ninjas had their Sharingan transplanted. But all of them failed. If they are of non-Uchiha clan blood, it would be difficult to exert the true power of the Sharingan. Moreover, they would have a very strong rejection reaction, which would be harmful to themselves. It’s a serious burden on the body.”
"The Byakugan is different. As long as it is a complete Byakugan, it can be used when transplanted to the body. And there will be no serious rejection like the Sharingan."
Uchiha Tatsu remembered that Kirigakure Village did have such a ninja later.
Hinata Himeji continued. "So, in the war-torn era of the Warring States Period, the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan was coveted by many ninja clans around. The ninjas coveted this kind of power."
"Later, the head of the Hyuga clan married the Uzumaki clan and married the princess of the Uzumaki clan."
"In order to solve the problem of Byakugan, the princess of the Uzumaki clan developed a curse seal based on the sealing technique. This curse seal perfectly solves this problem. And the curse seal that can seal blood is called - Caged bird."
"In order to protect Byakugan, the family is divided into main families and branch families. Anyone who belongs to the branch family is carved as a caged bird."
"From then on, the clan of the Hyuga clan became the true successors of the Hyuga clan. They bear the important responsibility of protecting and promoting the Hyuga clan."
"The branch family became the guardians of the Hyuga clan. They bear the responsibility of protecting the Hyuga clan and live in pain."
Uchiha Chen asked in confusion, "So as the eldest lady of the clan, you shouldn't have this kind of trouble, right? It shouldn't be possible for you to be a caged bird?"
Hinata Himeji nodded, "I can't."
''But my second brother does. ''
''The emergence of every system will cause various problems as time develops. ''Hyuga Himeji continued.
''The branch family members marked by the caged bird will be controlled by the clan family members through the curse seal. Clan family members can use caged birds to destroy the brain nerves of members of the branch family, thereby controlling the branch family. The curse seal cannot be lifted until the person dies. ''
''And this curse seal also has the ability to seal the Byakugan, which can greatly protect the Byakugan from leaking out. ''
''So this approach undoubtedly caused extreme dissatisfaction among the family members. Although the curse seal can control the life and death of the family members, it cannot control the resentment in the hearts of the family members. ''
''So, one day the family finally broke out into rebellion. Some dissatisfied branch families joined forces with foreign ninjas to sneak attack on the clan members. ''
''Although the rebellion was quickly quelled, the Hyuga clan was also severely weakened by it. ''
''So in order to maintain the relationship between the branch family and the clan family, and ease the conflicts between them. Someone from the Hyuga clan proposed a new system. ''
''That is, the patriarch of the clan and the patriarch of the branch family must be very close in terms of blood relationship. At least the bloodline is within three generations. And they are close relatives who grew up together. ''
''So, every two or three generations, a child will be re-selected from the clan family. The chosen child will be labeled as a caged bird and inherit the position of head of the branch family. ''
Hinata Himeji's voice became colder and colder.
''This approach indeed calmed down the anger of the separated family members to a great extent. After all, even the close relatives of the clan leader will be labeled as caged birds and become members of the branch family. And why would the people who split up the family be dissatisfied with the Zong family? ''
''And no matter how dissatisfied the people of the branch family are, the head of the branch family, as the closest relative of the clan head, will have his own considerations. They will sincerely consider the clan, and at least they will not rebel again. ''
Uchiha Tatsu already understood after hearing this. It is indeed a big family with a history of thousands of years.
Hinata Himeji clenched her fists, and her voice sounded again, "And in our generation, we have to choose a child to inherit the position of the head of the branch family again." ''
''The next generation leader of the Hyuga clan has been confirmed to be my eldest brother. As the twin brother, the second brother was elected as the patriarch of the branch family by the Council of Elders. ''
''I see. ''Uchiha Tatsu suddenly realized. He never understood why Hyuga Hizashi, his younger brother, became the head of the branch clan. If only one person in each generation of the Hyuga clan is a clan member, and everyone else is stamped with a curse, then there will be too few clan members.
Now I finally understand.
It has to be said that the person who came up with this method has a terrifying grasp of human nature. As a younger brother, Hizashi will endure it no matter how dissatisfied he is.
After all, Rizu is his brother.
This kind of family love that blood is thicker than water cannot be let go.
And if the head of the branch family is a person who is several generations away from Rizu's bloodline, then he will never consider everything for Rizu.
Hinata Himeji was a little excited.
''Why? Why do members of the Hyuga clan have to be burdened with this kind of thing? ''
''The reason why a ninja is a ninja is because he is often forced to make cruel choices. Is this the choice they have to make to separate their families? ''
Hinata Himeji's eyes had opened unconsciously at this moment.
''One clan, one clan, these people only care about one clan. But they never consider the feelings of separated families. Don't the branch families bear the name of Hinata? I feel sad for this kind of people. Is this the fate of ninjas? ''
Hinata Himeji looked at Uchiha Tatsumi, ''My second brother will be a caged bird soon. So what on earth can I do to change this. ''
''You said I wanted to grow up. So if it's you, Uchiha Tatsumi. If it were you, what would you do? ! ''
Facing Hinata Himeji's question, Uchiha Tatsumi was a little silent.
Rather than how to do it, it's more about the way of tolerance, or something like the meaning of life.
In the world before Uchiha Tatsu was reborn, it was a joke that would only make others laugh at you once you brought it up.
But in the world of Naruto, even a person who is not used to seriousness, even a very nervous person like Jiraiya or Naruto, will really think about these things.
After all, this is a real and cruel world.
''Himeji, you are too obsessed with something as trivial as a clan, so you ignore what is really important. That's power. You have no power now, so you are governed by rules, hunches, or imagination. ''
''Weakness is the original sin. If you want to change the future of the Hyuga clan, you must transcend now and increase your strength. ''
"Many years later, your eldest brother will definitely become the patriarch of the clan. And your second brother will also take the position of the head of the branch family, and then he will die in a mission or war to protect your eldest brother."
"If you are lucky, your second brother may survive. But his child will still be marked with a curse. Then he will die for the people of the clan during a certain mission. Isn't the so-called destiny meant to follow the established track?"
''If you want to change this fate, what you have to do now is to make yourself stronger and stronger. Then, if you can become Hokage, or have absolute strength, then the Hyuga clan will change because of you. No? ''
''Hokage? ''
