I will gain the bloodline of countless members of the Hyuga clan’s branch family, thereby obtaining superior genes.
This might allow my Byakugan to advance further!
As the Byakugan improves, so too does the Shikotsumyaku.
Only by continuously climbing these heights can I truly wield power comparable to the Six Paths and act with impunity in this world.
So, I must strive hard, Naoki.
Let the caged bird shatter completely before you!
“Hiashi, would you be willing to try it? The possibility of breaking free from the Caged Bird?”
Upon saying this, Kaguya Naoki felt a twinge of regret.
Although, according to his thoughts, this experiment wouldn’t be too dangerous.
But what if it was?
Hyuga Hiashi shouldn’t be the test subject. Using inconsequential branch family members for the experiment would be more appropriate.
“Of course.”
It seemed Hiashi sensed Naoki’s hesitation and immediately agreed, feeling both excited and slightly flushed.
How could one back down at the beginning of breaking free from fate?
Normally rigid and repressed, Hiashi now seemed to have broken free from his mental shackles, entirely different from before.
“Please, let it start with me.”
“If it’s about changing my own life, how could I let others bear the risk?”
“As for the branch family members.”
Hiashi bowed his head, smiled slowly, and then looked up.
“Naoki-sama.”
“As long as you have the potential to break free from the Caged Bird, the branch family members will flock to you like moths to a flame.”
“Hiashi is insignificant.”
“If I don’t put in some effort and just receive benefits, I would be ashamed to face the rest of my life.”
“Then, let’s do it.”
Seeing Hiashi’s resolve, Naoki, who initially intended to use him, was somewhat moved and decided to proceed without further words. He placed his hand on Hiashi and emitted a thin stream of chakra.
At the same time, he silently recited in his mind.
[Exchange, Caged Bird Technique]
[Cost: Exchange points*2]
In one go, it equaled no cost in exchange points.
Naoki silently solved the arithmetic problem while continuously flipping through the key points of planting the Caged Bird in his mind.
As time passed, the setting sun’s rays were cast down.
Hiashi picked up the pen and wrote the last letter to Neji.
Facing the crucial moment of breaking free from the chains of fate, how could he back down like a coward?
I’m sorry, Neji, but this is the only time your father has had the chance to choose since birth.
Please forgive me this once.
After writing, Hiashi lifted his head, sat up straight, adjusted his breathing, and slowly exhaled.
At this moment, Naoki was still pondering, hesitant to proceed.
“Uchiha Shisui, go ahead, don’t forget, I’m always watching you!”
Uchiha Shisui pointed to the black marks around his eyes.
“Could you please find me a house away from Hiashi-sama before the Ninja Academy starts, Ao-sensei?”
“I really can’t stand the constant noise anymore.”
Ao shook his head firmly, a bit mockingly.
“Konoha captives must stay together. Where else would you have such choices?”
“But if I have to teach, at least let my body function normally.”
Shisui sighed helplessly. Looking at this Jōnin, who was even more stubborn than his clansmen, he shook his head and walked inside.
This place was right next to the Kaguya clan.
Every night, besides some specific women.
There was also Kaguya Ryota, a loyal Mist Village dog, who knocked on the door every night to check for escape attempts.
By day, Shisui was supervised by Ao to clean the Ninja Academy.
From beginning to end, there was no rest.
His body grew increasingly fatigued, but at least every noon, he could eat some nourishing food at Hiashi-sama’s place.
As for escaping.
Shisui shook his head in despair.
Not to mention others, even Kaguya Ryota was a tough opponent.
Walking along, Shisui noticed something unusual.
Why was the usual noise gone?
He glanced towards Hiashi-sama’s room, his Sharingan seeming to pierce through the door.
“Hiashi, it’s time.”
Hiashi took a deep breath and nodded nervously.
Seeing this, Naoki hesitated no more.
With Byakugan wide open, streams of chakra shot out from his hand.
Like a Gentle Fist, it struck various points on Hiashi’s head.
Yes, this mimicked the Gentle Fist technique, sealing the points.
According to Naoki’s calculations, the green light burning on Hiashi’s forehead required his chakra to survive.
As long as Naoki could temporarily shut off the chakra supply to the green light, it would weaken and eventually disappear.
The process was extremely complex, and intricately designed.
The Caged Bird would even adapt to different neural patterns, making it impossible to break without high-level Byakugan!
Naoki became increasingly convinced that his speculated history of the Hyuga clan might be true.
Thud, thud, thud!
Fingers collided with the head, and streams of chakra surged into the meridians.
Is the chakra stopping?
Hiashi sensed it but focused solely on himself.
Because it was too painful!
Moreover, Naoki’s vast chakra made his body instinctively want to evade.
If he didn’t fully resist this feeling, it could disrupt the treatment.
Clang!
Exhale!
Naoki tensely observed the green light with his Byakugan.
It gradually weakened, like a candle in the wind, finally about to dissipate.
At this moment, Hiashi could no longer speak.
Not from pain but from overwhelming emotion.
Gasp!
Gasp!
Opening his mouth, then closing it.
He felt the chains binding his Byakugan dissolving.
Really, they were dissolving!
Then, the moving mountain.
The oppressive feeling on his brain for so long, which he thought was normal, suddenly vanished, making him feel light and airy!
Did it really work?
Tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes. Then, as soon as he sensed the thing on his forehead and in his body vanish, he stood up abruptly and knelt down.
Naoki wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking that after so much effort, it would be a waste not to win this guy over.
“Hiashi, after breaking free from the Caged Bird, explore the world of freedom.”
“And.”
Naoki took out a mask from behind him.
“You will now be part of the Rainbow Organization. The Rainbow Organization is independent of the Mist Village, with no apparent connection.”
“Prepare yourself. In a few days, you’ll go to the Land of Grass.”
Hiashi nodded slowly.
Naoki stood up and walked to the door, opening it.
Just in time to see Shisui standing in the alley, waiting out of respect.
His black-and-white eyes showed slight surprise upon seeing Naoki. He then inevitably looked at Hiashi inside, tears streaming down his face.
