The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 344 The Sins of the Main Family

Chiyo quickly arrived at the room where Hinata and Hanabi were.

When he arrived, Hanabi was eating cookies. When she saw Chiyo, she hid behind Hinata in fear, since she had never seen Chiyo before.

"Principal," Hinata greeted him, her expression downcast.

Chiyo was still very kind to Naruto's future wife.

Hinata, you were looking for me?

Hinata took a deep breath and mustered her courage to ask, "What exactly happened in my clan?"

Qianyao gently pressed his hand down, gesturing for Hinata to sit down.

Hinata and Hanabi obediently sat down.

Qianyao asked, "Do you have any concept of the Hyuga main family, the branch family, or the Caged Bird Sequence?"

Hinata and Hanabi first shook their heads, then nodded.

“I know that the division of the family is to protect our main family, and the caged bird is the mark of the division.”

"But I've seen Neji being punished by the Caged Bird Seal..."

Hinata's explanation was not unexpected by Chiyo, after all, she was still young and Hiashi had not explained it to her in detail.

Hanabi weakly replied, "The Caged Bird Seal can easily destroy the brain nerves of the person targeted."

Chiyo turned to look at Hanabi: "It seems Hanabi knows. You should explain this to your sister."

He remembered that the Grand Elder had explained this to Hanabi.

Hinata had no prior knowledge of the Caged Bird Seal, but upon learning that her younger sister knew about it, she looked over curiously.

Hanabi paused for a moment before saying, "Once, Neji was punished by our father when he was competing with his sister."

"The elder explained to me that the mission of our Hyuga main family is to protect the Byakugan forever."

"Sometimes it is necessary to rule over the branch families with the absolute fear of death, and eventually make them submit."

"Some members of the branch family also harbor resentment about this, and they are full of hatred towards our main family."

"Therefore, we are a deeply sinful race."

Hinata then understood why Neji's attitude towards her had changed after that incident.

Chiyo didn't react much to this, but instead gestured for Hanabi to continue.

Hanabi recalled for a moment and continued:

"The elder said that everyone in this world is born with their own destiny, and this destiny remains unchanged from beginning to end."

"Ah……"

Chiyo let out a mocking sound, but she wasn't mocking Hanabi; she was mocking the corrupt Elder Hyuga.

The so-called destiny was shattered when the Hyuga branch family risked their lives.

"Let me tell you what a caged bird really is."

Chiyo spoke slowly, preparing to expose the two children to the most sordid aspects of the entire ninja world.

“The caged bird is a tool that your main family uses to enslave the branch families.”

"A torture device created to easily suppress a group of people."

“Once a branch family is marked with the image of a caged bird, it will be unable to resist anything your main family does.”

"Therefore, the caged bird is your main family's means of harming the branch family."

"The so-called concept of fate is just something used to deceive you younger generations."

"To allow you to enjoy the benefits of the division of the family with a clear conscience is to simply categorize it as the fate of the division of the family."

The two children looked somewhat shocked.

Qianyao continued, "The fact that the main family must always protect the Byakugan is just a high-sounding excuse."

"You should know that when a person with the image of a caged bird is killed or has their eyes gouged out, the whites of their eyes will be destroyed immediately."

Seeing the two women nod, Qian Yao sneered:

"So, why doesn't your main family carve the caged bird themselves to protect the Byakugan?"

The logic is simple; even these two children could understand it.

Their faces were not good, but since Qianyao had started speaking, he naturally had to explain everything clearly.

"As for why your main family members were killed this time, it is naturally because your main family has committed many sins and was retaliated against by the branch family."

"When Hinata was three years old, an envoy from the Hidden Cloud Village of the Land of Lightning came to Konoha for peace talks, but their real intention was to kidnap you to test Konoha's attitude."

"At that time, you had already been taken out of the Hyuga clan's territory, and your father, Hiashi, discovered and killed the villain."

"But this is actually part of the Cloud Village's plan, which is to force Konoha to comply with this person's death."

"The Third Hokage at the time, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was a coward, so your father, Hiashi, had to pay with his life."

"But because there was a branch family, the younger brother, Hyuga Hizashi, who was from the branch family, was made to pay with his life."

"Hyuga Hizashi..." Hinata chewed on this somewhat unfamiliar name.

Hizashi died when she was three years old. Hinata is now 10 years old. Seven years ago, she didn't even remember anything.

Chiyo also reminded him, "Hizashi is Hiashi's younger brother, who is also Neji's father."

"We won't discuss the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, here because of the division between the main family and the branch family, and the existence of the Caged Bird Seal."

"Those who split up the family are forced to give up their lives."

"These things may seem distant to you two, but the main family's pressure on the branch family has never stopped."

"This is not the first time, nor will it be the last, that Hizashi has died in place of your main family."

"The reason your Hyuga main family was destroyed this time is because the branch family was oppressed to the extreme, and they rose up in resistance."

Hinata's eyes were glazed over; what Chiyo had said was still quite shocking to her.

She murmured, "So, this is the sin of our clan?"

Chiyo said quietly, "Hiashi not only used the Caged Bird Seal to punish Neji, but also his younger brother Hizashi."

"The reason is ridiculous; they said there was murderous intent in their eyes."

"That is to say, you cannot have any thoughts that are detrimental to the main family."

"Your clan's destruction was your own fault, and the same is true for the killing of your father."

"The person who killed him was the one who inherited the will of his younger brother, Hyuga Hizashi."

"They are people who rebel against the evil rule of your clan."

"So you can understand it as your father Hiashi wanting your uncle Hizashi to be a scapegoat back then."

"Now Hizashi has come to seek revenge on Hiashi."

"By the way, in order to kill your main family, the branch family members basically used the method of mutual destruction to achieve their goal."

"You should have seen Hiashi's body. The person who killed him used explosive tags to kill Hiashi as well."

"If there is such a thing as destiny in this world, it is that prolonged enslavement will inevitably lead to rebellion."

"Besides, the reason you two survived is because I think you have value."

"Otherwise, you will all be killed as well."

"Your lives now belong to the Uchiha clan."

"No matter what you want to do in the future, the first prerequisite is to become stronger."

"Only by becoming stronger can one have a voice and the right to choose."

"You will only be free with me after you have generated enough value."

Hinata's head was filled with too many things, but she still listened to what Chiyo said.

"I understand, Headmaster."

Qianyao shook his head: "From now on, you should stay in the Uchiha area. There will be a lot of turmoil in Konoha recently, so don't wander around."

"Karin lives in the room on the right, and Shiro, Shion, Hotaru, and Hydrangea all live nearby."

"Just tell Karin if you need anything."

"I will bring Neji to see you in a while."

Hinata nodded with a complicated expression; she didn't know how to face Neji.

After calming Hinata down, Chiyo left Hinata's residence, as there were more important things to do the next day.
