Hizashi Hyuga found it hard to bring up.
As a member of the Hyuga Clan, he was asking Ye Ning to abolish the Main House and Branch House system. Whether His Highness would agree was beside the point; first, he had to consider why His Highness would agree at all.
Ultimately, this was an internal matter for the Hyuga Clan.
Even the Hokage had no authority to interfere with the system separating the Main House and Branch House.
Even His Highness Ye Ning... probably wouldn't lend a hand, either.
But Hizashi had no choice.
Though he knew His Highness Ye Ning was unlikely to grant his request, and though he knew it was terribly ill-timed, he still had to ask.
As the younger twin brother of Hyuga Hiashi, becoming part of the Branch House had been inevitable and beyond his power to resist. All these years, Hizashi had never resented his status as a Branch House member.
But things were different now.
He had a son.
Having only recently become a father, Hizashi couldn't stand by and watch his son be marked with the Caged Bird Seal, the symbol of his fate, just as he had been.
Why should a child born to a Branch House member automatically become part of the Branch House?
Why, though they were both sons of the same father, did he have to serve the Main House as a Branch House member just because his elder brother had been born a few minutes earlier?
What kind of bullshit system was this?
At the thought of his clever, well-behaved son, who had always been quiet and never cried, being marked with the Caged Bird Seal before long, Hizashi felt dizzy.
If he had no way to change any of this, he would probably have buried these
