Chapter 175 Bird in a Cage (3rd Update!)
Close to the city.
Minato Namikaze lowered his voice: "Be careful when sneaking in, the other party has the Byakugan."
"If you are discovered, unless the other party expresses hostility and denies it, don't take action immediately."
The other four people responded: "Understood."
"Karin, you can..." The people in the team are all experienced ninjas. What makes Minato Namikaze most unsure is this person from the future who is suspected to be his "daughter".
She dresses very beautifully.
But. Very un-ninja.
Although she has a strong "chakra" in her body, she should no longer engage in "ninja activities".
"I don't think you need to hide, just go in openly." Karin raised her head.
Minato Namikaze was puzzled.
"Naruto has already discovered you." Karin looked in one direction, and a smile appeared on her face, "The Nine-Tails is coming."
Minato Namikaze was stunned, and many thoughts flooded in his heart.
The name "Naruto" touched some of his memories.
It is the name of the protagonist of the new novel prepared by Teacher Jiraiya.
As expected
The person with this "name" is also his child.
So he has not only a daughter, but also a son?
Kushina worked hard.
He was also amazed at Karin's perception ability.
What surprised him even more was the "Nine-Tailed Fox".
This is a person's name, or the "Nine-Tailed Fox" he knew.
He thought that through Karin, he could already see the tip of the iceberg of the future.
But.
These messy information even made his brain a mess.
Aburame Shiwei raised her hand and released the bugs, and nodded after a moment: "Karin is right, someone is coming towards us."
He couldn't help but ask: "Your perception range is so large?"
"It's the Uzumaki clan's Kagura Heart Eye." Namikaze Minato shook his head to calm himself down.
Karin nodded.
A red and black figure fell on her head.
Several people were alert.
What a fast speed!
This level of instant body
Except for Minato Namikaze, no one can match it.
"Ha, it's Minato, so nostalgic." The greeting started.
Minato Namikaze narrowed his eyes and stared at the fiery red fox wearing black "Japanese-style" clothes.
Although the body shape is not right and the dress is strange.
But there is no doubt about this chakra.
It is the tailed beast "Nine-tailed Beast".
"What an interesting expression." The Nine-tailed Beast stepped on Karin's head, grinned, and said in an extremely bad tone, "I knew you would be like this."
"It's worth it that I came here in person."
"You look confused, Minato."
It paused and looked down at Karin: "Have you told him about the future?"
Karin shook her head: "No."
She was afraid that her words would affect the future. Meeting Naruto was a tiny one in ten thousand chance among the many routes of fate.
She was afraid that if she said one more word, she and Naruto would not meet in the future.
The Nine-tailed Beast did not have such concerns.
"No? That's great." The Nine-Tails poked its head out and swung its tail. "Minato Namikaze, do you want to know?"
"About the future."
"You and Kushina."
"Come on, beg me, beg me sincerely, and I will show mercy and tell you these things."
Kakashi couldn't help but hold the short sword.
Akimichi Choza and Aburame Shiwei couldn't help but make hand seals.
This fox
really deserves a beating.
Minato Namikaze smiled and shook his head: "Those of us who are in the past should not know too much about the future."
"When this mission is over, you will return to the future, and I will also seal this memory."
The Nine-Tails tutted: "You are still like this."
"So boring."
It stopped looking at Minato, hovered over Karin's head, and glanced at the man with the white eyes: "Hey, the one from the Hyuga family, what's your name?"
"Hyuga Hizashi." When he faced the Nine-Tails, he could still maintain some basic politeness.
But this is what he can do with all his strength.
"Hizashi?" Kyuubi repeated the name.
Another self sent a message back to him from there.
It was immediately happy and grinned: "It's you."
"It's really interesting."
"Come on."
Kyuubi shook his head and looked forward: "I'll take you to see the person you want to see."
Minato Namikaze and the others followed Karin.
But except for the blond man who could keep his expression unchanged, the faces of the others were more or less tangled.
The future
seemed to be a huge deviation from what they imagined.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at the door of the conference room.
Kyuubi pushed the door open: "Naruto!"
"I brought the person back."
Minato Namikaze followed in.
The room was well lit, and the sunlight was reflected on the blond hair, which was a bit dazzling.
"Kushina" He looked at the figure in the light, which was blurry and a little hazy, but the face was extremely clear. He called out his lover's name.
This face was almost exactly the same as "Kushina".
"Dad, you're here." Naruto greeted with a smile.
Namikaze Minato scratched his head: "Kushina and I are not married yet, so I'm not used to being called that."
Kakashi tilted his head.
He noticed that his teacher's child still didn't have the "Konoha forehead protector" on him.
The white feather fabric and black "Japanese-style" clothing lining is similar to the one worn by "Kyuubi".
"Dad, you should choose to seal this memory." Naruto smiled, raised his hand and asked them to sit down, "So just get used to it."
Namikaze Minato nodded: "As a father, it is a very happy thing to know that my two children in the future can thrive."
"It's just a pity."
"I can't share this with Kushina."
Xianglin looked at him in surprise, covered her face, and turned a little red: "Uncle Namikaze, I am not your child."
Hmm. For now.
It was just this word that she was embarrassed to say.
"Xiang Lin is a clan member I met." Naruto tilted his head and said in a gentle tone, "Although she is not your biological daughter, there is no problem in treating her as a daughter."
"She's a great person."
Namikaze Minato scratched his head: "I misunderstood."
In the Konoha team.
Hinata Hizashi had been staring at the two people since he came in. At this moment, after the greetings of the father and son reunion, he finally couldn't help but said: "Namikaze-sama, please forgive me for disturbing you."
"Are you two also members of the Hyuga clan from the future?"
A woman with a fair forehead, undoubtedly from the clan.
The other one, with the "caged bird" clearly visible on his forehead, is a ninja from the Separation Family.
The most important thing.
This "separated" boy seemed familiar and close to him.
Plus what Kyuubi just said.
He already had an answer.
"Yes." Hinata Neji nodded.
Hinata looked at him uneasily.
"We are the future Hyuga clan." He suppressed his emotions and clenched his fists, "Now I have something to ask you."
Hinata almost nodded.
Hinata Neji took a deep breath: "What do you think of the caged bird?"
"A bird in a cage?" Hinata Hizashi lowered his head and spoke in a heavy tone, "This is indeed the most painful and heaviest thing for every branch family member."
"I hate the Zong family because of this."
"You seem to have a good relationship with the Zong family?"
Hyuga Neji didn't answer him.
"A bird in a cage." Hyuga Hizashi spoke slowly after being silent for a long time, "Although its existence does make us, as branch families, trapped in a cage."
"But it's also protecting the Hinata family."
"The Byakugan is very strong, and its eye opening is simpler than that of the Uchiha clan. Every ninja village wants to have it."
"It's because of the caged bird"
"Let us have our white eyes automatically destroyed when we die, so we won't be hunted."
He took a deep breath.
"I don't know your name or what you've been through."
"Don't be resentful."
"This is just a responsibility that we, as a branch, need to bear."
After listening to his words, Hyuga Neji gradually calmed down, and he asked another question: "If one day, Konoha is faced with a dilemma that requires the Hyuga clan to sacrifice one person, will you stand up?"
Hinata Hizashi shivered subconsciously.
This is
The fate he is about to face?
He clenched his fists with a bitter look on his face: "Does one person have to be sacrificed?"
"Of course I will stand up."
"But I'm not here to separate the family."
"I"
"It should be for the village and the people you cherish."
Hyuga Neji lowered his head and murmured: "Really?"
This is the same answer Hinata Hinashi gave himself.
In this matter, he did not lie or deceive himself.
"Do you want to untie the caged bird?" Naruto tilted his head and said softly.
Hinata Hizashi jumped up suddenly and stared at Naruto in disbelief.
Unlock the caged bird?
Hinata Neji nodded without hesitation and decisively: "Of course."
"Do you know what this will cause?" Hinata Hizashi shook his head, frightened and panicked.
Hinata Neji also stood up: "Of course I know."
He paused for a moment and walked to the window: "You said that the caged bird is both a restraint and a protection."
"But does it restrain more or protect more?"
"If it's really for protection."
"Why can the clan family easily control the curse seal and control the life and death of the branch family?"
"Why won't the Zong family grow this thing?"
"Why."
"Will the curse seal also limit Byakugan's ability?"
Hinata Hizashi opened his mouth: "But this will cause a rebellion among the separate families."
"The Hyuga clan will be destroyed!"
"You are just powerless to change the status quo, so you deceive yourself and find a suitable reason to accept it." Naruto said in a calm tone, "You can think this way, but you should not let others agree with your idea."
“The caged bird longs for the sky and freedom.”
"This was not a mistake."
Hinata Hizashi raised his head and looked at Neji and then at Hinata in confusion.
As a member of the "Zong family", Hinata sat in her seat awkwardly.
To cast a glance.
Not only Hinata Hizashi, but also everyone else in the room, including Neji.
(No more~)
