Reborn Into Naruto World With Tenseigan
Cursed Fate
Listening to Eagle's doubts, Dog and the rest of the team frowned.
The signing of a peace treaty is of paramount importance to a great shinobi village, even if the village does not value the treaty itself, but the other party must show their sincerity.
For this reason, the Nidaime Hokage of Konoha personally went to Kumogakure to sign a peace treaty after the first great shinobi war, although Nidaime Hokage and Nidaime Raikage were killed at the hands of the Kinkaku Troops who started the Coup in Kumogakure, it was another matter altogether.
Even at the end of the third great shinobi war, Minato Namikaze was responsible for the signing of the peace treaty, the purpose of sending such elites was to show their sincerity as well as hinder the other party.
So even if the Yondaime Raikage did not advance directly, Kumo should have sent at least some of Jonin's powerful elites along with the ninja heads to lead the team, but that's not the case here.
It is the monkeys who point out this fact straightforwardly, “From their approach, Kumo does not seem to trust us too much.”
Dog nodded.
Kumo's approach clearly makes them understand that Kumo may be worried that if they send a lot of elite ninjas along with their ninja heads, then they will most likely be stuck in Konoha, therefore the Raikage does not seem to trust the Hokage.
Thinking of this Cat said with a sigh, “Are they going to be sincere in upholding the peace agreement this time?”
Even Eagle's expression was very serious.
In the original story, after the signing of the peace treaty, the, the leader of the Kumo peace delegation takes the opportunity to sneak into the courtyard of the Hyuga Clan on the eve of the third birthday of the future heir and attempt to kidnap the oldest woman of the clan. The Hyuga clan, the Hyuga Hinata.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, the uninvited guest was found by the Patriarch before he could escape and was killed. This caused a lot of trouble for Konoha and the Hyuga Clan, as the incident came to be known as ‘Hyuga Affair.’
The death of the Cloud Chief ninja led to a series of diplomatic disputes between the two major powers as Kumo denied all charges of attempted abduction and shamelessly accused and threatened Konoha to restart a full-scale war if the body the convicted felony, that is, Patriarch Hyuga was not handed over to them as compensation for the death of their Head Ninja according to the terms of the treaty.
Under pressure from Kumo, Hyuga Hizashi chooses to sacrifice himself for the sake of his brother despite the protests of his brother and his father's orders, not only for the sake of his own Clan and Village but also for his brother.
Although the sacrifice of Hyuga Hizashi prevented war, it caused the relationship between the main Hyuga family and the branch family to be bad.
But thinking of this memory, Eagle felt that something was amiss in this situation.
There's no way Kumo really doesn't want peace, right?
After all, they had also gone through a series of wars one after another, although Konoha was weakened, the Raikage should also always be wary of the Tsuchikage, so the situation would not be a one-sided war, either, if Kumo really goes all out, Iwagakure will not sit still.
‘Maybe there is an internal dispute in Kumogakure? One faction can choose to continue the war while the other faction wants time off for Kumo to regain their strength.’ – This is Eagle's conclusion.
After all, in the days of Kinkaku and Ginkaku, their factions did have a great influence in Kumogakure, so their supporters might still be around.
Because destroying the hard-earned peace between the two countries just for a pair of Byakugan is absurd, moreover, it is, the chances of the kidnappers escaping the territory of the Land of Fire after the Heir of the Hyuga Clan Kidnapping was actually very low.
So, taking such a big risk for such a low possible return is not worth breaking the peace treaty.
Therefore, the Eagle could only think that the Hyuga affair might only have occurred due to internal conflicts within Kumogakure.
After all, the Eagle could not allow such a situation to repeat itself here.
Therefore, he decided to find some method to resolve it without damaging the peace between the two great countries, how he would do it, at this time, he did not know, but he would think of something.
With that, Team-11 secretly escorted and guarded Kumo's envoys throughout their journey from the shadows, and fortunately there were no problems they encountered along the way that greatly relieved Team-11.
Just two weeks later, the delegation arrived in Konoha smoothly without any problems.
The village has also held a grand welcoming ceremony for the Kumo envoy. Many villagers also took to the streets to express their friendship with the Kumo delegation.
One might hate Kumo shinobi for starting a war, but no one hates a hard earned peace.
The third great Shinobi war and subsequent events caused too much bloodshed, almost everyone lost someone close to them in the war.
This is why, even though everyone knew that the conflict this time was initiated by Kumogakure, the majority of the villagers were still willing to endure the pain and lend a hand of friendship, all because they did not want the war to continue.
Sounds a little too horrible, but that's it…
After completing a month-long escort mission, Team-11 was given a short break to recover their spirits.
Greeting and nodding towards the familiar and unknown people of the Hyuga Clan along the way, Kuroto finally arrived at the house of the branch family head, Hyuga Hizashi.
As the younger brother of the current patriarch and one of the top elites of Jonin Konoha Council, Hyuga Hizashi's house is also much larger, elegant, and looks traditional compared to Kuroto's house.
Arriving at the gate of the mansion, Kuroto knocked on the gate, but then she suddenly realized that she seemed to have forgotten to bring a gift when she came to the head mansion for the first time.
While he was cursing himself, the door slightly opened and a three or four year old boy stuck his head out of a small crack, staring at Kuroto from top to bottom, analyzing and thinking about the identity of the visitor, he said, when he realized that.he did not know the person, the boy asked doubtfully, “Oni-sama, are you looking for Otou-sama?”
Before Kuroto could answer, the door had opened completely and Hyuga Hizashi who was standing behind the door frame said with a smile, “Ah, this is Kuroto-Kun, come in.”
“Hizashi-Sama long time ago!” Kuroto greeted Hizashi, as she stepped inside the house.
“Indeed, Kuroto-Kun, if it wasn't for Yui-chan telling me from time to time about you, I wouldn't even be aware of many things, but after all, you've become an extraordinary person. ninja and make the Hyuga Clan proud!”
“I do not deserve your praise Hizashi-Sama, I have much to learn about the way a shinobi!”
“Hahaha, as low as usual before your senior is not Kuroto-Kun, well we can continue our conversation, but enter first, and make yourself like at home!”
“Then, I will welcome myself!”
After sitting in the Zabuton, Kuroto glanced at the child sitting beside Hizashi-Sama, the little man who was sitting in the same way as his father, probably trying to behave maturely before him.
Seeing this Kuroto could not help but laugh a little and asked Hizashi-Sama, “She is Neji?”
Hizashi-Sama who was sitting with her hands folded on her chest smiled and nodded towards Kuroto's question.
Immediately after Hizashi-Sama nodded, Neji saluted Kuroto while trying to maintain the stern gaze of his father, “Oni-San, I am Hyuga Neji, please advise him!”
In addition to the knowledge from his memories, Kuroto knew about Neji thanks to Yui constantly updating the basic information.
Now staring at Neji carefully, Kuroto's eyes finally landed on Neji's forehead which did not yet have the curse seal mark ‘Burung Sangkar’.
Hizashi also noticed Kuroto's gaze and could only sigh when he thought about it.
According to the rules of the Hyuga Clan, when the next Klan heir is three years old, other children of the same generation will be engraved with the curse seal ‘Sangkar’.
And coincidentally the next heir of the main family of the Hyuga Clan will be three years old in one month, in other words, Neji will soon be engraved with the curse seal ‘Burung Cangkar.’
While stroking the sign of ‘Burung Sangkar’ covered with a piece of white cloth, Hyuga Hizashi asked in a low voice, “Kuroto-Kun, do you ... do you hate it?”
Listening to Hizashi-Sama's question, Kuroto turned to her but gave no answer and simply chose to remain silent.
Kuroto knows very well that ‘Sangkar’ is always a thorn in the heart of Hizashi-Sama, once this topic is opened, it will not produce a good ending, therefore choosing silent is the best option.
Hizashi also understood this and could only sigh, instead he did not understand the intent of ‘Burung Sangkar’ but which father willingly let the fate of his son be limited by the seal? That was why Hyuga Hizashi could not accept this.
But if Kuroto is honest then her opinion on the curse seal ‘Sangkar’ is actually neutral.
In Kuroto's opinion, ‘Burung Sangkar’ has its own advantages and disadvantages for members of the Branch family. After all, not every member of the branch family is as strong as Kuroto or Hizashi-Sama, there are even women and children who do not choose to live a shinobi life, he said, but Byakugan as Kekkei Genkai is still in the hands of all those born of Hyuga blood, therefore there are many people who want Hyuga Kekkei Genkai, he said, and in such a scenario if there was no way to ensure their safety then the Hyuga as a Clan would perish, and even if it did not perish, the Clan members would always live in panic.
So, the Curse seal of ‘Sangkar’ is also a protection for the weak from the Hyuga Clan, too, the geniuses of the Hyuga Clan might hate ‘Sangkar’ for losing control of their fate from their grasp but the mediocre Hyuga people The branch family is still grateful for the security provided ‘Burung Cangar’ of fate gouged out of their eyes.
Unfortunately, Kuroto was also part of the mediocre group not until a few years ago, therefore, her feelings towards the curse seal “Burung Sangkar” are very different, so she is very different, even he used the seal mark of the cage bird on his forehead as a sign of protection against enemies.
So, it is no lie to say that the Caged Bird, in fact, saved his life several times during the third great shinobi war.
At this moment, Hizashi looked at Neji who was sitting next to him and said in a sad tone, “Neji's talent is undoubtedly the best among his peers, but unfortunately he was born in a branch family.”
Seeing his father's sad face, Neji asked hurriedly, “Otou-Sama, why are you sad?”
Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Hizashi simply shook his head with a loving smile and ruffled Neji's hair, it seemed like he didn't want to tell Neji, what ‘Birds Cangkar’ means, at least not now!
