"Huh... Bird Cage..?" – Kuroto muttered while thinking.
'Bird Cages' might be a problem for ordinary members of the Branch Family. This might be a confinement to their destiny, but it no longer happened to Kuroto.
To Kuroto, the Bird Cage Juinjutsu meant nothing.
Because when he activates his Tenseigan, the Birdcage Juinjutsu will be disabled for him.
Of course, this was not a permanent solution, and Kuroto deeply regretted that until now this was the only solution he had found, but it made no difference to him.
But Kuroto never dared to underestimate the Bird Cage Juinjutsu as a whole, nor did he ever do anything openly that would anger the elders.
Why that?
It's simple actually. The Bird Cage Juinjutsu may not be effective for her, but it is not for Yui. If he was controlled with the 'Bird Cage' and used as a hostage, then other than wiping out the entire Main Family, Kuroto could not think of any other effective preventive measures.
Yui seemed oblivious to Kuroto's thoughts and said, "By the way, Hizashi-sama also said that since you are a member of Anbu then the people from the Main Family cannot touch you directly, either, even if they are in doubt, they should go to Hokage-sama first. So, as long as you stay careful, you'll be fine."
Kuroto nodded while sighing.
He had long understood the methods of the grandparents.
Living a carefree life under the protection of the Branch Family, they had developed a habit of controlling the weak and fearing difficulties.
Previously, Orochimaru attacked the Patriarch, but due to Orochimaru's sensitive identity, the elders of the main family did not dare to do anything, they were even willing to sacrifice the prestige of the Patriarch of the Clan.
Then there was the Watanabe incident, if not for Kuroto's intervention and resolving the situation in a way that made the incident seem completely unrelated to the Hyuga Clan, he said, the Clan elders would sacrifice Hizashi without a second thought.
Moreover, everyone in the clan knew of the Byakugan that was with Ao from Kirigakure, but due to diplomatic issues between the two countries, the, they did not dare to send anyone to Kirigakure secretly and return the stolen eye.
All of the above events highlight the hypocrisy of the grandparents. They put up a strong and rigid front, suppressing the people from the branch family but when that really happened, they were willing to sacrifice the people from the Hyuga Clan to ensure their own lives, he said, to ensure their own rules.
As long as the external pressure was sufficient, they did not have any basis, and Kuroto even thought that they would not even hesitate to sacrifice the Patriarch.
Therefore, Hizashi-sama's speculation is not unreasonable. As long as Kuroto hadn't done anything extraordinary for some time, her Anbu identity was her protection.
Seeing Kuroto's confused gaze, Yui grew even more worried, she thought that Kuroto didn't notice anything she said, "Kuroto-kun... Kuroto-kun...?! Did you listen to what I just said?"
Kuroto smiled and while patting Yui gently, she said, "Of course, I heard everything loud and clear. Don't worry, I'll be fine, Hizashi-sama also said that if the elders want to do something, they should go first. passing Hokage-sama.
So, they won't find it easy. The Anbu team I joined was the strongest Anbu team ever, and Hokage-sama will not let anything happen to me without solid evidence."
Yui nodded, she believed and understood Kuroto's ability.
Over the past few years, no matter how troublesome the things Kuroto-kun encountered were, he had solved them easily. His strength and status had also increased over the years. No one spoke openly, but he was very clear that Kuroto-kun had become some sort of leader of the younger generation among the Hyuga Clan.
In addition, he is also one of the most genius shinobi of his generation, at the same level as Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Shisui.
In terms of influence as well, Kuroto has a pretty good relationship with two of the most talented Uchiha of the younger generation, including Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi.
Then his mentor-student relationship with the previous Miko of Land of Demons was also revealed not long ago.
As an Anbu, he subsequently held a high influence. So overall, Kuroto is quite strong both in terms of personal power and in terms of political power.
Therefore, touching it carelessly was no longer an option, that was why even the Patriarch of the Hyuga Clan valued Kuroto very much.
And because of that, she asks him to warn Kuroto about a possible event that might get her in trouble.
At this time, Kuroto spoke, "Anyway, I'll be fine Yui. All I ask is that you be careful."
Kuroto's words ripped Yui out of her mind, and she nodded with a sincere smile. Looking at those eyes, Yui simply said, "I'll be fine as long as you're safe Kuroto-kun. Your well-being is what matters to me!"
Kuroto sighed and hugged her tightly.
Yui did not resist and lay down next to Kuroto. With his head leaning against Kuroto's arm, he slowly fell asleep.
With Yui asleep, Kuroto also tries to sleep but can't because various thoughts come to her mind.
She could not help but think of all the things Yui told her.
The target of Kuroto's suspicions is clearly the 'traitor' who helped Watanabe sneak into the Clan. The other party seemed to have mastered the Spiritualization Technique.
But this also puzzled him, since the other party had mastered the 'Spiritualization Technique' he should be able to kill the Elder and the guards without the need for snake venom, though, or rather he should be able to sneak into the Forbidden Sect without needing anything.
If the blame was really bestowed on Orochimaru, then the Clan Elders would not dare to fight Orochimaru, so Kuroto could not rule out that possibility.
As for the reason why Kuroto did not consider herself a target?
Well, he didn't do it, Kuroto had a very reasonable explanation. He did not use snakes, nor did he use snake venom. And most of the people within the clan were aware of it. It was also once the object of great discussion. When the people from the Hyuga Clan heard that Kuroto did not use the Snake technique despite being Orochimaru's subordinate and disciple, they were greatly shocked.
When asked why he didn't?
All Kuroto said was, "I don't think they're interesting enough..."
And this sentence will benefit him.
After all, what Kuroto cared about was the other party's goal.
"Why would a traitor do such a thing? What did he expect from the Forbidden Sections? Is it something related to Bird Cage?" – Kuroto murmured doubtfully.
Kuroto was of course unaware of the Birdcage Juinjutsu Scroll hidden within the Forbidden Section. How's she? It was not that he had been there since the beginning, nor was there any information about this in the original story. And those who knew the scroll were obviously not going to tell him.
Therefore, his mind turned to another possibility, "Is the traitor looking for another opportunity he can exploit?"
In the original story, the traitor coordinates with Kumogakure and traps the Hyuga Clan, leading to Hyuga Hizashi's death. And nothing else happened. But here, there was another attack against the Elder and the two guards.
Perhaps because Hyuga Hizashi was sacrificed, the traitor realized that there was no point in doing anything else. If even blood brothers could be left behind, then is there any point in taking revenge?
Huh, whatever the case may be, this is one of those butterfly effects.
…
Inside one of the houses inside the Hyuga Clan Complex.
In the dark room, a figure sat on a chair and took out a scroll from his bag.
The scroll looked very ancient and the pages were yellowing.
The figure did not care about these things, and he focused his attention on the text.
The figure was lost in the text, and after reading the first scroll completely, he was lost in thought.
What was recorded in the scroll was the origin of the Main Family system and the Hyuga Clan Branch Family.
Such a system had existed since the beginning but there was no Bird Cage Juinjutsu that branded and bound the Branch Family into servants of the main family.
It was only after the Hyuga Clan had experienced a disaster that, among the surviving members of the Clan, the Patriarch chosen at that time, worked with the other Shinobi of the Hyuga Clan, who was the only one from the Hyuga Clan, with the help of some of the Uzumaki Shinobi Clan and eventually create a Birdcage Juinjutsu that could protect the Byakugan from being gouged out by others.
In other words, the origin of the Juinjutsu Bird Cage was based on the disaster that the Hyuga Clan had experienced.
And the text does not end there, there is also an explanation of how the original Juinjutsu had nothing that allowed the people of the Main Family to control the people of the Branch Family.
They have no such power.
But as time went on, things changed. As generations changed, and so did the situation of the Warring States Era, and the patriarch felt the need to have control over the lives of the Branch Division members, because once they were kidnapped by the enemy, extracting intelligence became very easy.
So, the condition of controlling the life and death of branch family members is added to the Bird Cage.
And then the situation changes, some people like a sense of power and control over the life and death of another human being. Some people from the Branch did not like this reality, and they tried to fight back, now not everyone can be killed, because it will cause the extinction of the clan, so another condition was added, a condition to punish.
No one can raise opposition.
Along with that a few more changes were made, and the original Juinjutsu evolved into the current Bird Cage Juinjutsu.
Making the Branch Family members as the eternal servants of the Main Family. Without control over their lives and deaths. Make them no more than glorified noble slaves.
After reading the entire scroll, a question came to the person's mind, "What is the natural disaster facing the Hyuga Clan?"
There is no description of it on the scroll.
Not even a little mention of it. What exactly happened that made the Hyuga Clan suffer so much and left them with no choice but to use Juinjutsu to ensure the safety of their clan?
