Hyuga Kaze Goes Mad!

As the signal flare was launched, the branch family disciples, whether busy or at home, rushed towards the compound.

Sending so many signals in a row must be no small matter. Could it be that the Hyuga Clan has been attacked?

No one dared to slack off, and they moved forward at top speed. Even other clans in Konoha sent their representatives to the Hyuga Clan Compound to inquire about the situation.

This kind of thing doesn't happen often. Even if there's nothing going on, you still have to join in the fun to have something to talk about later. Otherwise, if you don't know anything, wouldn't you look too stupid?

As more and more people gathered, someone said, "Disciples of the branch family, quickly take the Cage-Breaking Pill! The day is the day to break free from the Caged Bird's confinement!"

Hearing this, the other families stood at the Hyuga Clan's gate watching the scene with great interest. The branch family members were stunned at first, then frantically crowded around, wanting to eat a Cage-Breaking Pill.

Who would want to be a slave? Or a slave who does all the work for nothing, working all day without getting a good look at them, and even having to hand over 70% of their earnings?

All of this stems from this mark called the Caged Bird! Sometimes, they all think, how wonderful it would be if we weren't ninjas of the Hyūga Clan.

Although she lost the Byakugan bloodline, she was still able to live with dignity and freedom, instead of becoming a plaything of the Main Family.

At this moment, the Cage-Breaking Pill became their only salvation; in fact, more than 70% of the Jonin in the Hyuga Clan came from the branch family.

Once they break free from the Caged Bird's shackles, the change of power in the Hyuga Clan will happen overnight!

Seeing that things were spiraling out of control, Great Elder Hyuga his teeth and said, "Uchiha Kō, do you think you, as Hokage, can be so domineering as to interfere in the internal affairs of your clan?"

He understood that the tide was irreversible, but he still wanted to ruin Uchiha Kō's reputation, making all the clans wary of and ostracize Uchiha Kō.

It is said that old people become shrewd, and those who are old but do not die are thieves. The words of the Hyuga Great Elder made the heads of the various clans present change their expressions, looking at Uchiha Kō with uncertain expressions.

Although they also felt regret and disgust towards the Hyūga Clan's Main Family and branch family system, they never considered interfering, because it was their family matter.

After the Great Elder finished speaking, the Second Elder stepped forward and said, "Lord Hokage, please stop. Lord Hashirama once said that Konoha was formed by the union of various ninja clans and that they established an agreement not to interfere in each other's internal affairs. This is why everyone was willing to follow him. Now, are you going to be so rebellious?"

The Third Elder sneered, "I'll give you one chance: capture all the branch families of the Uchiha Kō Uchiha Clan, and we'll put them back in the Caged Bird. Otherwise, I'll take the Hyuga Main Family Senju Hashirama!"

"Konoha isn't ruled by just one person, Uchiha Kō. You can't possibly control everything!"

The other family leaders present looked grim. While listening to this farce, or rather, coup, they were also observing Uchiha Kō's words and actions.

"Outrageous? Trying to cover up the truth? How laughable!" Uchiha Kō unleashed his full aura, his eyes revealing a chilling coldness as he swept his gaze over the members of the Main Family. Before he even spoke, the Hyuga Main Family bowed their heads, not daring to utter a word.

Uchiha Kō gently raised his right hand, then slowly clenched it again before saying in a mocking tone, "What you call treason is nothing but prejudice."

"Your Main Family usually eats and drinks well, lives at home all day, never leaves the house, and lives a life of luxury. Sounds good, right?"

"Indeed, it's quite impressive. Even I, the Hokage of Konoha, am moved and captivated by it. However, don't forget who worked so hard to earn these living conditions for you. Divide the family."

"The branch family fights tooth and nail to bring glory to the clan, while the Main Family indulges in pleasure and reaps the benefits without contributing anything? Tsk tsk, do people from the Main Family like this even have the right to call me Uchiha Kō?"

Uchiha Kō's words were like a heavy hammer, pressing down on the hearts of many clan leaders, Main Family elders, and Main Family members.

"Nonsense! There is no difference Main Family and the branch family. The reason for marking them with the Caged Bird Seal is simply to prevent the Hyuga Clan's Kekkei Genkai out. What do you, a junior, know? This is the culmination of my Hyuga Clan's legacy!" Hyuga Kyo said.

The Hyūga Clan's Great Elder could no longer maintain his composure and dignity. He was afraid that if Uchiha Kō continued speaking, he would expose the ugly side of the Hyuga Clan completely!

"Crystallization? The Uchiha Clan feels nothing but disgust for such crystals! If our clan's bloodline is taken away, then the entire Uchiha Clan will spare no effort to make our enemies pay a bloody price!"

"Instead of being like you bunch of rats, fighting amongst yourselves and groveling before outsiders! The Main Family made a mistake, and the branch family took its place."

"You lot dare to claim to be Konoha's number one Dōjutsu clan, alongside the Uchiha?" Uchiha Fugaku shouted. No matter what happened, he had to stand up for his teacher!

As it happened, he knew a little about this so-called "Byakugan family," so he exposed all the shameful things they had done!

Uchiha Kō laughed. He looked at Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Fugaku raised his chin, indicating to Uchiha Kō, "I did a good job, didn't I?"

"You! Uchiha Fugaku! Do you want to be enemies with the entire Hyūga Clan? Then let's start a war!" Second Elder Hyuga Yun stepped forward, attempting to divert attention from the conflict, and said they would discuss the rest later.

Unfortunately for them, they miscalculated. Uchiha Kō is a master of negotiation and psychology; he won't give you a chance to change the subject.

"Second Elder, you are mistaken. We are simply stating the facts. Furthermore, we are also pointing out the unreasonableness of your Caged Bird system. Are we not allowed to speak out?" Uchiha Kō retorted.

Hyuga Yun's face paled, he gritted his teeth, let out a cold snort, and then retreated.

The Third Elder Hyuga Kaze, was still struggling, saying, "So, you interfered in the internal affairs of my Hyūga Clan. What do you have to say about that?"

The Third Elder was very clever. He seized on Uchiha Kō's weakness, hoping to leave him speechless and force him to bow down to their Main Family under the pressure of public opinion from many clans.

But they forgot one thing: next to Uchiha Kō was the head of the Hyuga clan, the head of the Hyuga Main Family, and the person in charge of the Hyuga Clan.

"Third Elder, you seem to have forgotten that I, Hyuga Hiashi, said that the Caged Bird is no longer suitable for the Hyuga. Today, I invited the Lord Hokage to assist me in eradicating all the corrupt forces within the clan!" Hyuga Hiashi said coldly, flicking his robes.

"You traitor to the Main Family, you wretched creature! You have been expelled from the Main Family! You are no longer the head of the Hyūga Clan! This was decided by the three of us!" Seeing that things were going badly and that his only remaining ground of justice was crumbling, the Third Elder had to salvage the situation.

So they came up with this ridiculous reason, Uchiha Kō couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Who doesn't know that the head of the Hyūga Clan is Hyuga Hiashi, the heir of the Hyuga Akagi lineage? You are nothing but a few corrupt elements, yet you dare to speak ill of deposing the clan head here!"

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that it was these three old men who had coerced Hiashi Rizu into going against his decision and were acting arrogantly because of Hiashi age.

Immediately, a hint of displeasure flashed in the eyes of the onlookers. "I just came here to watch a show, and look what happened, you guys are plotting against us bystanders!"

Fortunately, we are all seasoned veterans who have seen it all and didn't take sides or oppose the Lord Hokage. Otherwise, it wouldn't just be the three old men who would be in the eye of the storm right now!

"You three old fools are just relying on your age. If you can't do it, get out of here! Do you even know how much the Hiashi clan leader has sacrificed for the Hyuga Clan?"

"That's right. Hiashi Head Hiashi is not only fair in rewarding and punishing, but also ensures that whoever makes a mistake in the Hyuga Clan will be severely punished, and that whoever makes a contribution will be encouraged and financially supported by the clan!"

"I reckon those three old guys were vehemently opposed back then, and it was only through the desperate pressure from the Hiashi Hyūga Clan is what it is today."

People's opinions had changed, and they began to criticize the Hyuga Main Family. Hyuga Kyo trembled all over; he never expected things to turn out this way!

It's over, it's all over! As for whether or not to make a move, do you think Uchiha Kō is a rookie, or do you think Hyuga Kyo is an idiot? If he really makes a move, Uchiha Kō can crush the Hyuga Clan Compound in less than ten minutes.

Regardless of the outcome, the three of them will become sinners of the Hyuga Hyūga Clan time!

As he watched the branch family disciples enter one by one, the Caged Bird above his head vanished, revealing his clean, white forehead. He knew that today was the Hyuga Clan's division—no, today the Main Family or branch family.

Hyuga Kumo, the Second Elder of the Hyuga Yun, spat out a mouthful of blood. His gloomy eyes looked at Hyuga Hiashi with resentment and malice. "My Main Family has spent nearly a hundred years planning and scheming to achieve our current benefits and status. Today, you, you brat, have ruined all of this!"

Heavens, why do you not help our Main Family, but instead help those from the branch families who are born to be slaves?

Hyuga, the Third Elder of the Hyuga Kaze, refused to accept his fate! Or rather, he was unwilling to accept his fate! If he were to accept his fate and lose everything he possessed, then so be it!

Thinking of this, Hyuga Kaze's temples bulged, and he struck at Uchiha Kō.

"Eight Trigrams - Air Palm!" Hyuga Kaze Chakra gathered his chakra and then unleashed it from the meridians in his hand, forming a small, colorless, and odorless air cannon that shot towards Uchiha Kō's head.

"Don't want!"

"Foolish!"

The two elders who spoke these words were Hyuga Kyo, the Great Elder of the Hyuga Kyo Hyuga Clan, and Hyuga Yun, the Second Elder Hyuga Clan. They were both terrified when they saw Hyuga Kaze's actions!

Now, they are in the wrong, and even if they can hit the target, their actions at this time show that they are guilty and dare not continue arguing with Uchiha Kō!

If it hits, that's attacking the Hokage, a capital offense! It'll be punishable by death! Uchiha Kō was worried about how to deal with their Main Family, but if this attack hits, Uchiha Kō will have no worries and will execute them all!

The Great Elder and Second Elder of the Hyuga clan knelt on the ground, their eyes glazed over. They wished they could just faint. Even if they failed today, at least they would survive, though their lives would be poor.

The moment the Third Brother struck, the whole situation changed!
