Yuuhi Kurenai sat on the edge of the bed, clasping her hands tightly. Waiting was the most painful thing, but she didn't wait long before someone knocked on her door.
"Please come in--"
Hyuga Chio held Hinata's hand and walked slowly into Yuuhi Kurenai's room. Without too many pleasantries, he went directly to the topic and took off Forehead Protector from his head again, revealing the cyan Caged Bird Seal.
"Hyuga Clan is divided into the Main Family and Branch Family."
As he spoke, he knelt down and lifted Hinata's hair, revealing her smooth forehead.
"Young Miss is Main Family, so there is no such Curse Mark, and I am Branch Family. Before entering Ninja Academy, I will type such Curse Mark."
"As for what exactly it is used for--"
Hyuga Chio raised his head and looked at Hinata, his voice became very soft. "Young Miss, even if Master Clan Head didn't formally teach you how to use it, Orochimaru has already researched it, right?"
"Please demonstrate it for Miss Hong."
Hinata lowered his head and said nothing, as if he had not heard Hyuga Chio's request.
"It's okay, Young Miss. If you don't try your best to activate Curse Mark, there won't be much of a problem."
Hyuga Chio's voice became very soft and he continued to persuade, "If you don't demonstrate clearly to Miss Hong, she won't know what we are doing."
"If she makes random guesses, creates some misunderstanding, and brings it to Master Clan Head, the matter will not be resolved so easily."
Hyuga Hinata finally raised her head, her voice was almost inaudible: "Brother Chio--"
Hyuga Chio stood up, and as Hinata nodded, he gritted his teeth tightly, clenched his fists tightly, took a deep breath, and said softly, "Recite the spell, Young Miss."
Hyuga Hinata nodded, mobilized his chakra, and activated Hyuga Chio's Caged Bird Seal.
Hyuga Chio's expression twisted in an instant. He gritted his teeth tightly and could no longer hold his hands. Instead, he raised his head and held it.
Just at this moment, Yuuhi Kurenai knew how much pain he was suffering, because her forehead also began to hurt slightly, but the degree was very small and had almost no impact on her.
Within a second, Hinata stopped the activation of Caged Bird. Hyuga Chio became limp in an instant. He lay crookedly on the ground, while Hinata rushed forward and supported him.
"Brother Chio!" she shouted.
"I'm fine, Young Miss. This level of pain is just child's play for me. It's just that I haven't had such pain for a while. I'll be fine if I relax a little."
Hyuga Chio helped Hinata stand up again, while Yuuhi Kurenai sat directly on the bed.
"Miss Hong, this is the most basic effect of Caged Bird Seal."
"If you stay here, you may be able to see the remaining effects with your own eyes."
"But I still have to make it clear to you. If it is only slightly activated like Young Miss, it will only make me feel severe pain."
"If I activate it with all my strength, my head will explode, and nothing will be left from my skull to the brain inside."
"This is the Curse Mark that Hyuga Clan uses to protect his own eyes. If any Hyuga Branch Family is caught by the enemy, he can activate Caged Bird Seal to prevent the enemy from getting Byakugan."
"This is all Caged Bird Seal, Miss Hong, if nothing happens, I will go to practice."
"The experiments that await me are cruel and harsh. I must seize all the time to practice."
Hyuga Chio turned around and left Yuuhi Kurenai's room. Hinata saw this and wanted to leave, but Yuuhi Kurenai grabbed his arm.
"Hinata--" Yuuhi Kurenai's expression looks a little pitiful, and paired with the particularly conspicuous red Curse Mark on top of her head, it adds a touch of charm.
She asked almost in a pleading tone, "You are Main Family of the Hyuga Clan. Tell me, is there any way to unlock this Curse Mark--"
Although Hyuga Chio's reaction was just a splitting headache, Yuuhi Kurenai already knew the use of the cyan Curse Mark from his words, and also knew why this Curse Mark was called Caged Bird.
This name is so appropriate. Being engraved with Curse Mark is like a bird in a cage.
A child who has not yet graduated from the Ninja Academy can make a grown man miserable with just a gentle stimulation of chakra. If Hyuga Chio is right, it only takes a moment for Hinata to want him to die.
And herself--
She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead vigorously. Now that she also had this mark, was her life also in someone else's mind?
"Sister Hong, even Main Family, there is no way to solve this Curse Mark."
Hinata shook his head and replied cautiously, "According to the master, this is a brand engraved on the soul. It has been circulated in the Hyuga Clan since a very long time ago, and no one has ever unlocked it."
"The reason why I, Master, and even Brother Chio came here is to find a way to unlock this Curse Mark."
"No, no one can solve it?" Yuuhi Kurenai's eyes suddenly lost focus and became confused.
"If Uncle Orochimaru makes a breakthrough in his research, it should be solved. Sister Hong, I am going to practice as well. Please have a good rest." Hinata walked out of the door gently and closed the room.
Yuuhi Kurenai in the room was already lying on the bed, his whole body buried in the quilt, his head buried under the pillow, and tears kept pouring out of his eyes.
How could things be like this?
The experiment she underwent was obviously to transplant the blood of Sharingan as well as the blood of the Uchiha Clan.
The experiment went so smoothly. She can now turn on and off her Sharingan freely, and other aspects of her studies are also following up. But why does such a mark appear on her forehead? Isn't this specially used on the Hyuga Branch Family?
Or maybe--
She still had a trace of luck, or perhaps humans would always justify their experiences in this way to make themselves feel less uncomfortable.
Maybe the Curse Mark on your forehead has little to do with Caged Bird. It is just used to suppress Sharingan and help you merge with the Curse Mark of Sharingan. It does not have to be painted like this.
It's just Orochimaru's bad taste that made him draw his Curse Mark to look similar to the Hyuga Branch Family Caged Bird Seal. At this time, he might be waiting for him to come over angrily, and then watch him make a fool of himself with a smile.
It must be like this, that damn Orochimaru!
