The Will Of Fire Cannot Save The Ninja World

Chapter 22 "Caged Bird"

Hyuga mansion, martial arts arena.

Four figures flew around the field.

The girl's crisp drinking voice came:

"Eight Trigrams one hundred and twenty-eight palms!"

"Two palms! Four palms"

The other three figures seemed to be locked.

In desperation, they could only besiege with all their strength, trying to break the offensive with attacks.

The girl leaned over and dealt with three sides at the same time with ease.

"One hundred and twenty-eight palms!"

The three teenagers flew upside down and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a while.

Clap, clap, Hyuga Saimon clapped happily beside her.

During this time, Hyuga Mio has given her and the family too many surprises.

They thought that Hyuga Mio would improve rapidly after Konoha's White Fang training, but they didn't expect it to be so fast.

Among the younger generations of the family, there is absolutely no one who is a match for Mio.

These juniors who have become Chūnin, only in groups of three or four can barely resist Mio's offensive!

If there are descendants like this, why should the Hyuga clan not be strong!

With her ponytail tied up for practice, Mio ran over and raised her head with sweat on her forehead, "Auntie, can I go out today?"

Ever since her aunt hinted that she would take on more family responsibilities, she arranged for the young members of the family to practice in pairs, nominally to let Mio guide her peers in cultivation.

As the younger generation of the family, Mio couldn't refuse.

She didn't dare to claim to be a guide, so she redoubled her training every day to improve herself, and often gave advice to her peers.

After a few days, all the juniors have practiced in pairs at least three times.

Thinking of not seeing her companions for a few days, and not knowing when to go to war, Mio was already impatient.

Hyuga Saimon's biggest headache is that Mio's recognition of her companions seems to be higher than that of her family. Hearing this, she asked, "Mio, is that why you want to participate in the war?"

Thinking of Yu Ye, Mio lowered her head and twitched the corner of her clothes: "No, it's just that everyone has gone. If I don't go, what will happen?"

Hyuga Saimon shook her head: "The battlefield is no joke, the sword has no eyes, and even the shadows of the villages may not come back alive. As a candidate for the future patriarch, if something goes wrong, what will the family do?"

As the head of the Hyuga family, what's the point of wanting to go to the battlefield?

Desperate things are done by people in the branch house.

The Zong family only needs to preside over the overall situation after the overall situation has been decided.

Mio had heard this truth a few times, and knew that she couldn't justify herself, so she said to Kaidō: "Auntie, war is a matter for all of us in the village. You also said that shadows can die on the battlefield, so there is nothing wrong with us dying on the battlefield, right? Besides, our team Not weak, I promise to take good care of myself!"

Hyuga's smile gradually faded away: "Do you know how irresponsible you are to the family by what you said? Do you still have the appearance of an heir? The strategic value of blank eyes can reverse a village's ability to fight!"

Mio is not good at quarreling, but she knows in her heart that this is because the Zong family is afraid of having their eyes taken away after death, but the secret method of self-destruction after death has been developed a lot in the past few decades, at least the wealthy family can definitely develop or win it.

In the end, it's just that the Hyuga family doesn't want to embrace the outside world, and prefers to maintain the status quo in an older and more traditional way.

She thought of her curse mark, bit her lip and said, "Otherwise, I would just wear the Caged Bird, so you won't be afraid."

Hyuga Saimon pointed at Mio, her fingers trembling, she was extremely angry.

"You are the heir, how could any heir print Caged Bird? It's just a few years later, so you can't bear it?"

"That's all you want to see that Uchiha?"

"Why don't you think about the hundreds of thousands of people in your family?"

"You want Caged Bird, right? Well, I'll show you Caged Bird!"

Caimen knows that Mio is the orphan of the elder brother of the clan, and she is outward-minded. She only knows that Caged Bird self-destructed after death, but she doesn't know the details. That's why I dare to say such outrageous things.

That being the case, she clapped her hands and motioned for the guards to bring someone over.

After a while, Hyuga Shizuka, the maid of Hyuga Mio Courtyard, was brought over.

Under Hyuga Mio's puzzled eyes, Hyuga Saimon has recovered her calmness just now, but her face is no longer kind.

Hyuga Saimon's eyes were cold, but there was no movement.

Kneeling on the ground, the dazed branch house maid Hyuga Shizuka suddenly covered her head, and the thin one let out a howl like a beast, and fell to the ground, life would have been worse than death.

Wisps of emerald green light streaks bloomed from her forehead, as if they were about to split her head apart.

"I, I was wrong."

"I was wrong"

Hyuga Shizuka, who was rolling on the ground, spoke instinctively, but because of the bloody foam in her mouth, her lisp was slurred.

Hyuga Caimen was already ruthless, like a god on high, calmly said: "Yes, you are wrong."

She made a seal with one hand.

Hyuga Shizune, who had rolled to the ground, fell back, convulsed violently, and stopped abruptly.

Like a taut bowstring breaking, this time it went completely limp.

A ferocious look of pain remained on his face, and his white eyes completely lost their expression.

Hyuga Saimon never took a look at it, and pronounced the verdict: "Master is still so naive for ten years, you are right, who is wrong?!"

Hyuga Mio stood there blankly, her outstretched hand froze in mid-air, like a sculpture.

In a very short period of time, her worldview was severely impacted.

She didn't understand why Shizuka, who grew up with her, was a death penalty.

I don't understand why my aunt can be so cruel.

I can't even understand why the difference in identity between the same Hyuga family is as obvious as a master and a slave at this moment.

Shizuka is not a descendant of the clan for many generations, her mother used to be a clan member!

The cold wind of autumn blows.

It is clear that the training ground where they were friendly and friendly just now, but now it makes Mio feel as cold as hell.

The family image in her memory collapsed in an instant.

‘Do they just want me to be the future patriarch of such a family? '

‘Are they my future? '

'What about Shizuka? If I become the patriarch, will she turn into a ghost and cry for grievances? Or even sadder, turning into a ghost to congratulate me? '

The chaotic emotions made Mio's brain almost shut down.

I heard Hyuga Saimon change a relatively peaceful tone: "You should give up your heart to go to the battlefield. Also, let me tell you that two days ago, the last team had already set off."

'Has the last team, Yu Ye and Qi Yue, already left? '

'They didn't come to me, no, they, the Hyuga's, did it on purpose! '

Thinking of those two familiar faces, Mio managed to regain her thoughts.

Looking up again, what I saw was the indifferent back of my aunt.

What I heard was my aunt's unquestionable order: "Come here, send Mio back to the hospital. From now on, without my order, she is not allowed to come and go at will! When will she figure it out and become sensible, let's talk about other things!"

...

Hyuga Saimon has been away for a long time.

In the repeated days of autumn, it rained after the cold wind.

Mio was like a standing corpse, it took a long time to recover.

In front of him was the dead body of Hyuga Shizuka whose skin was already pale and whose eyes were empty looking at the sky outside the courtyard.

Mio wiped her face with her cuff, wiping away the rain.

He bent down and wanted to hug Shizuka, but the empty eyes of the corpse hurt people's hearts.

Mio instinctively wanted to change her back, but still followed her initial thought, picked up the corpse and walked back.

The dead are terrifying, but why not the living?

Back in the courtyard, Mio buried Shizuka's body on the lawn near the entrance.

That's where Shizuka usually likes to stay.

Mio rarely stopped practicing, looking at the rainy sky outside the courtyard.

After an unknown amount of time, there was movement outside the yard.

It was someone who went through layers of interrogation and entered the courtyard.

Hyuga Hizashi came in with an indifferent face, holding an umbrella and dodging into the eaves of his cousin.

He sneered and said, "I don't understand, why you can casually say something like engraved with Caged Bird, you are a noble family member."

Mio was still looking at the square sky above the courtyard: "Is there a difference? I am now a Caged Bird, too?"

Hizashi's hand holding the umbrella was purple and white: "No, you are only under house arrest! You don't even know what a Caged Bird is!"

During the period when Caged Bird was engraved, Hizashi had already experienced the pain of being cast many times.

Now that he has nothing to worry about, he even started to stab the Zong family with words on purpose.

I faintly thought in my heart, just die from such pain.

At least free after death.

However, Mio was not as angry as the other sects, but laughed at herself: "Yeah, I know now."

Hizashi stared blankly, looking straight ahead.

Only then did I discover that there was a new grave next to my cousin's porch.

Her hands were covered in dirt, and there was a hint of Bloodline.

Hizashi opened his mouth, and swallowed the stinging words softly.

He walked quickly to the eaves, dropped a letter, and left quickly.

"Someone sent it in the day before yesterday and was stopped."

"The letter called Uchiha Oya."
