Chapter 62 A Caged Bird Cannot Be Locked Up AC
Naruto's talk-no-jutsu is most valuable when it comes to Gaara, followed by Sasuke and Nagato, and least valuable when it comes to Obito and Neji.
The last two were persuaded by themselves rather than by Naruto.
Just like now.
Hanabi shouted what Bai Mo had told her into the arena, leaving Neji completely flustered.
How can this be refuted?
It's a double whammy!
If he truly wanted to prove that fate was predetermined, then he shouldn't have rebelled against the main family, or even contradicted Hanabi.
If he refutes this, it means he wants to rebel against fate and believes that fate is not predetermined.
"What do we do now?"
Hanabi looked down at Hinata and Neji, who were standing there motionless with two scarecrows, and asked Bai Mo for help.
"Just say that you are now doing the same thing as his scapegoat father, not sacrificing for the main family by dividing the family, but for your sister, and that you are doing it willingly."
"oh!"
After receiving guidance, Hanabi ran to the edge again, preparing to open her mouth downwards.
"Wait...wait a minute!"
Japan quickly called a halt.
He stared at Bai Mo in astonishment.
How did the other party know the contents of the younger brother Hizashi's suicide note?
Could there be a traitor within the Hyuga clan?
That's not right either.
The suicide note was always in his possession, and only he had seen it. Could he have been the mole himself?
"Father, my sister has done it. You won't go back on your word, will you?"
Hanabi returned with a worried look on her face when her father called her back.
By bringing this up in such a public place, Hanabi knew the outcome would be clear: there was no turning back.
She also understood that her father, Hiashi, must know this as well.
If the father disagrees, doesn't that mean he wants to break the contract?
"I……"
"Hiashi, let Hanabi speak."
An old voice sounded behind Hiashi.
"The Grand Elder?"
Hiashi turned around and looked at the person who had come in surprise.
He never expected that the eldest elder, who usually stayed in the family and rarely went out, would appear here.
Was it also for this competition?
"Hehe, thank you, Grand Elder."
Fireworks received approval and ran back.
"Neji-nii, look at me~"
"Neji-nii, soon I will also leave the village like Hizashi-san, and become a caged bird like you."
But I don't regret it at all; it was my own choice!
I didn't do this for any family division or anything like that; it was for my favorite older sister, and it was my own idea to do it!
I believe that's what Uncle Hizashi thought back then too!
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Neji snapped out of his daze and looked at Hiashi in shock.
Hiashi didn't speak, but simply nodded to Neji.
"Hanabi, you..."
Neji's psychological defenses were finally broken down.
"Hanabi..."
Hinata clenched her fists as she listened to Hanabi's words.
"Hoo, come on, Hinata-san, let's fight with all our might and have a fair battle."
Neji took a deep breath, assumed the starting stance again, and challenged Hinata.
But this time, his eyes no longer held resentment or anger.
"Um!"
Hinata turned her gaze away from Hanabi and nodded vigorously.
in the audience.
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned deeply.
Originally, I planned to postpone it until after the Chunin Exams.
Unexpectedly, the Hyuga clan brought this up in public.
However, since the Hyuga clan had agreed, he couldn't interfere.
Fortunately, this time it was different from the incident with Kumogakure; Amegakure didn't ask for any corpses.
Fireworks can come back after a few years.
There wasn't much loss.
"Elder, do you really want to let the fireworks..."
As the two below began their fight, Hiashi Hyuga looked at the Grand Elder with some confusion.
Back then, when he chose to give up Hinata and raise Hanabi, the elders all agreed.
They have witnessed Hanabi's hard work and excellence over the years.
Why did you suddenly change your mind?
"What do you think of Hanabi's talent compared to Neji's?"
The elder did not answer directly, but instead asked Rizhi a question first.
"Even if he's a genius, he's still just a branch of the family..."
As Hiashi Hyuga answered, Neji below used his Reverse Technique, which immediately stunned him.
It's not just about turning the tide.
After using the Reverse Heaven Ball to send Hinata flying, Neji adopted another Gentle Fist starting stance, with a Tai Chi Bagua diagram appearing beneath his feet.
"Gentle Fist Technique: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"
Neji avoided the vital points, but he did indeed deliver sixty-four blows in a second, completely defeating Hinata.
Now it was Hiashi's turn to be stunned.
"Elder, I didn't teach him..."
Riji immediately explained to the elder beside him.
The techniques of "Returning to Heaven" and "Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms" are secret arts passed down only to the heirs of the main family.
"I know he figured it out on his own."
The Grand Elder spoke calmly.
"What?!"
"Well... Neji can be said to be the most talented genius in our Hyuga clan, Hanabi is no match for him at all... but he is ultimately just a branch family member."
After his initial shock, Hiashi Hyuga let out a deep sigh.
Hinata lost to Hanabi, but the difference between them wasn't that big; their personalities were the key.
In terms of strength, with Neji as a branch family member to protect us, we don't need to worry about anything in the future.
Now that Hinata has been able to correct her mistakes and this incident has occurred, as the eldest daughter of the main branch of the family, she is naturally more suitable to stay.
Hanabi can return after a few years away, and with the caged bird 'guarding' her, it doesn't matter. But Hinata is different. Hiashi, do you understand what I mean?"
The elder spoke earnestly to Rizu.
"Yes, I understand!"
Hijikata was momentarily lost in thought.
Only after being reminded by the elder did Rizu realize that he had overlooked a problem from beginning to end.
That's their age.
The elder's previous statement simply meant that Hanabi and Hinata have a difference in talent, but the difference is not a precipitous one.
No matter how talented they are, they can't compare to Neji, who can independently comprehend the Heavenly Reversal Technique and the Sixty-Four Palms.
And what follows...
The elder was reminding him that Hinata was already twelve years old this year. If Bai Mo thought of the worst, what if Hinata followed him to Amegakure for a few years and was treated as a breeding tool for Byakugan?
A caged bird can only protect its eyes, not its anus; it's not like a chastity lock.
On the contrary, Hanabi is only seven years old now, and she will be the same age as Hinata in a few years. As long as the Caged Bird Seal is carved to protect the Byakugan, there is no need to worry about the Byakugan being spread.

"Neji is amazing."
Hanabi leaned on the fence, her eyes shining as she watched Neji defeat Hinata and claim victory below.
At this moment, Might Guy was also not far away, comparing the difference between Kopuning's Gentle Fist and his and Little Lee's Hard Fist.
"What's so impressive about it? It's a waste of the Tai Chi Bagua diagram under your feet."
Bai Mo pursed his lips.
"Huh?"
Hua Huo turned back to look at Bai Mo with a puzzled expression.
Isn't that amazing?
"There was once a man named 'Wudang Wang' who told me that Tai Chi is not just about softness. It is the combination of softness and hardness, the interplay of Yin and Yang, that is what Tai Chi is all about."
"A balance of strength and gentleness?"
Hanabi tilted her head, seemingly lost in thought.
"Hanabi, stop! Don't listen to his nonsense! What right does an outsider have to comment on the Gentle Fist style of our Hyuga clan? No, no one in the entire ninja world has the right to comment on it!"
Hijika saw that Hanabi was really thinking about Bai Mo's words, and hurriedly rebuked him.
"You'll know whether you're qualified or not once you get beaten up by Eighty Gods."
Bai Mo glanced at Hiashi, then patted Hanabi's head. "Since you've spoken out in public today, Hanabi will be a member of Amegakure for the next five years. As for what happens after five years..."
"If she wants to return to Konoha, then let her come back."
"snort."
Hijikata didn't refute it, because he just found it somewhat amusing.
Could it be that after five years, Hanabi still doesn't want to go home?
