Chapter 202 Internal Strife During Family Division
"Are you all crazy?"
"What are you doing?"
The ninjas who were focused on dealing with the reanimated bodies were completely unaware of how the situation had suddenly turned out this way, and were still pointing at the branch family members who were about to strike and shouting angrily.
"Haha, we're doing something we should have done a long time ago!"
Those who had split up the family had狰狞 faces, but they laughed with unusual gusto.
"These main family members treat our branch family like expendable resources, using our Byakugan to synthesize some kind of Tenseigan," and then they even developed the "Caged Bird Seal" specifically for this purpose, deceiving us by saying that the seal was meant to protect our branch family!
"We've been fooled by them for centuries!"
"We were slaves to their main family for hundreds of years after we separated from them!"
"They not only want us to be their slaves, but they also want our descendants to be their slaves!"
"If they hadn't stopped pretending and forced us to hand over our eyes, we probably would never have known the truth and would have just foolishly taken it for granted."
"Let this kind of life end today!"
"We, the branch family, are about to rise up and launch a war of revenge against these shameless main families!"
"We're going to slaughter the entire main family today!"
"Once there's no main family, there's naturally no branch family either!"
"Our descendants will naturally be free then!"
"My fellow family members who are resisting, stop fighting! Cease all fighting!"
"Let's all join forces and wipe out the main family!"
As expected, all reactionaries are paper tigers.
The clan head, who usually acted arrogantly and domineeringly, was now like a flock of frightened quails.
They knew, of course, that if all the families united, they would surely be doomed, so they immediately used every means to save their lives.
Some people try to build relationships and get close to others.
"Third Aunt, I've never treated you badly. I've always thought of you when good things happen, and I've never bullied you!"
"Riyuan, if we're really going to talk about it, I should call you my cousin! You absolutely have to save me!"
Some people shirk responsibility.
"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding! It's all that guy Riyu's fault for insisting on synthesizing that Tenseigan! It has nothing to do with us!"
"Please don't blame the entire main family for Riyong's mistake!"
"I swear to everyone, our family will never synthesize the 'Ten-Rei-Gan' again!"
There are also those who compromise without any bottom line.
"From now on, the main family members who have branched out will treat each other like brothers. No member of the main family will be allowed to bully or oppress any member of the branch family!"
"No, no, from today onwards, there will be no more distinction between the main family and the branch family. We are all brothers, and we can discuss things calmly. No one will act recklessly anymore."
"Furthermore, all newborn children will no longer be marked with the 'Caged Bird Seal.' Let this seal disappear completely from the Hyuga clan."
Of course, there are also those who are not mentally sound, who are just bullying others and making a fuss.
"How dare you rebel?"
"Aren't you afraid of punishment from the village?"
"Before the villagers arrive, you should surrender quickly. We can plead with the village to give you a lighter sentence so that your families won't be implicated."
People in this world are diverse. Although they all come from different families, each person has different experiences, personalities, habits, positions, and environments, so the decisions they make will naturally be different.
Among these branch families present, there were those willing to risk their lives alongside Neji to settle scores with the main family and secure a free future for their descendants.
Naturally, there will be those who are loyal to their family and village, and even if they are treated like dogs by the village and family, they will still only remember the kindness they have shown and not the hatred, feeling that they can never repay the kindness of their family.
In an instant, the Hyuga clan's branch family split apart.
Some people did hesitate and put down their weapons, while others more resolutely surrounded the Zong family and protected them.
"Hyuga Neji, how can you do this to Lord Hizashi, who sacrificed himself for the clan?"
One of the branch family members roared angrily toward Neji.
But the next moment, a figure flashed before his eyes, and Hyuga Hizashi, with a helpless expression, appeared in front of him.
"Um—I am very sorry. It was my untimely death and my failure to properly raise my son that led Neji astray, resulting in this disaster."
Upon hearing what Hizashi said, the branch family member immediately fell silent.
If we delve deeper, Neji's "going astray" stemmed from two main reasons: firstly, Hizashi died young, leaving him without anyone to guide him; and secondly, the main family neglected Neji after Hizashi's death.
Or rather, not only did they not take care of him, they also stole his eye roll.
Not only did they steal Byakugan, but they also threw Neji, whose strength had been greatly diminished, back into the battlefield afterward.
This is clearly a mistake made by the main family.
On the other hand, why did Risa die so young?
It's all the fault of the main family!
"But...but even so, he shouldn't have done such a thing!"
"You're right."
As he spoke, Hijiri punched the man, sending him flying. He then rushed in and, targeting a member of the clan, delivered a vicious punch to the man's face.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I can't control my body."
"It's been so many years, your fighting skills have gotten rusty!"
"I'm about to use the Resurrection Technique, please be careful!"
Hijiri spoke very respectfully, but his hands showed no mercy, spinning around like a whirlwind and sending all the guards in front of the clan flying.
Another branch family ninja seized the opportunity to slip in and viciously stabbed down with his short sword.
Seemingly because of the support of many branch families, this main family member immediately became emboldened again.
"Don't underestimate the main clan ninjas!"
He shouted and pointed the hand seal he had made at the branch family member, activating the "Caged Bird" spell seal.
"ah----"
The branch family member screamed and fell to the ground, but several more branch family ninjas immediately rushed up from behind him.
Ignoring their fallen companions, they strode over him, focusing solely on the clan leader, and charged forward with ferocious roars.
The clan leader hurriedly changed the target of the curse seal, and immediately knocked the man to the ground again.
But more and more branch family ninjas came one after another, each one fearless of death, and they wouldn't let him go.
Those who were knocked down by the curse mark gritted their teeth and got up after the curse mark was removed, enduring the pain to continue fighting.
In addition, there were many reanimated beings charging back and forth in the area, and their various suicidal fighting tactics were giving everyone a headache.
After several rounds of attacks, the defensive line was finally breached.
