Hyuga Kagami's expression was filled with indignation, his voice shaking the very rafters like a thunderous dragon!
Those White Eyes were brimming with majesty and cold intent.
"Lord Hokage taught us the Will of Fire to protect the people of the Land of Fire, to protect our comrades and villagers in Konoha. In the face of such brutal acts, the Cloud Village must pay the price it deserves!"
He shouted sharply, "Only death is their final destination!"
He was impassioned and stirring, appearing like a general waiting to receive a commendation.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned black!
Never had he hated the Will of Fire more than he did at this moment!
Wasn't this just nonsense?
The Cloud Village was currently at the peak of its strength!
With the Fourth Raikage and two jinchuriki capable of controlling tailed beasts, Konoha wouldn't fear a war, but his own tenure as Hokage would certainly come to an end!
And he hadn't had enough of the position yet!
"Kagami-kun... is that what you think?"
A glimmer of light appeared in Hatake Kakashi's black eyes.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was unsightly as he squeezed words through his teeth: "Kagami, you are right. We certainly cannot tolerate the Cloud Village slaughtering the people of the Land of Fire!"
Things had reached this point; what else could he say?
Moreover, Hyuga Kagami was now on good terms with the Fourth Mizukage of the Mist Village; he absolutely could not be touched!
"You have done well. Withdraw and rest for now; the upper echelons of Konoha must deliberate on this matter thoroughly!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand.
He irritably dismissed them.
His face, wreathed in swirling smoke, flickered between light and shadow, his mood volatile and uncertain!
After the three of them withdrew, he suddenly spoke: "Summon the Council of Elders! This matter... could potentially trigger a war between Konoha and the Mist Village. Also... invite Hyuga Hiashi as well!"
With Hyuga Kagami having such a close friendship with the Mizukage, the Hyuga Clan... would likely need to be given more benefits.
He rubbed his temples, his face full of distress, and muttered: "Hyuga Kagami, if only you hadn't become sworn brothers with the Mizukage of the Mist Village, how good would that have been?"
His clouded eyes erupted with killing intent!
"That way, I could have killed you!"
After parting ways with Hatake Kakashi and heading home, Hyuga Kagami looked incredibly relaxed, unlike Uchiha Itachi, who was filled with worry.
[Task 7: Sign in at the Hyuga Clan!]
[Task Reward: Unlimited Byakugan!]
[Unlimited Byakugan: A pair of Byakugan eyes free from the Caged Bird Seal.]
"Huh?"
As Hyuga Kagami stepped through the gates of the Hyuga Clan, an electronic voice rang out in his mind.
He wore a strange expression: "What use... is this thing?"
"Don't tell me I'm supposed to give it to someone else?"
Simply put, the Hyuga Clan had no use for it, because the Caged Bird Seal was branded onto the mind; even if one replaced their eyes with a perfect, 360-degree Byakugan, their life and death would still be controlled by the main branch.
This item could only be given to someone outside the Hyuga Clan.
Just then, a cold shout rang out!
"Hyuga Neji, get over here!"
A middle-aged man looked on with cold, disgusted eyes, as if he were looking at trash: "To dare look at a member of the main branch with such eyes—are you trying to die?"
He sneered, "As it happens, what I love most is disciplining you foolish members of the branch family!"
With just a glance from him, Hyuga Neji began to struggle on the ground in agony!
Veins bulged on his forehead as if he were about to explode at any moment, yet he gritted his teeth, staring at the main branch member like a fierce beast!
"What an annoying mongrel!"
Hyuga Tenichi's face was grim!
Hyuga Neji's stubbornness, his endurance, and the hatred hidden deep within his eyes were a provocation to Hyuga Tenichi's authority!
"But no matter how you resist, you will always be a Caged Bird Seal of the Hyuga Clan, never able to obtain freedom!"
He kicked Hyuga Neji away with a vicious strike!
Venturing his inner rage.
Suddenly, he felt a chill and whipped his head around, only to see a tall figure whose dragon-like eyes held majesty and an inviolable presence!
"You... who are you?"
"Why don't I recognize you?"
Hyuga Tenichi barked sharply; the other party's nakedly aggressive gaze made him extremely uncomfortable!
There was no helping it; Hyuga Kagami's transformation was too drastic.
A month ago, he had been nothing more than a child about one meter thirty tall.
Yet in just one month, he had reached one meter eighty-two.
That imposing aura, which commanded awe without anger, was enough to make anyone tremble!
It made Hyuga Tenichi feel as if he were facing the patriarch of the Hyuga Clan himself!
"What kind of thing are you? Are you even worthy of knowing my name?"
Hyuga Kagami let out a cold snort: "Get lost!"
He let out a soft shout!
Dragon Might was released!
Hyuga Tenichi tasted sweetness in his throat as he felt an endless pressure; his entire body slammed onto the ground, looking as pathetic as a dead dog!
His bodily functions dared not offer the slightest resistance!
Hyuga Kagami walked slowly past him, not even sparing him a single glance.
"So strong, such an incredible clansman!"
Hyuga Neji was stunned, his small face filled with admiration: "Is he also a member of the Hyuga Branch Family? But why is he able to treat a member of the Main Family like this?"
He couldn't understand it.
Why was it that when he faced members of the Main Family, he was always bullied, yet this man could lay hands on them!
"Damnable wretch!"
Only after Hyuga Kagami had left did Hyuga Tenichi let out a breath, feeling as if he had been fished out of icy water.
He was drenched in cold sweat!
He gritted his teeth and hissed: "Wearing a forehead protector, he must be a member of the Hyuga Branch Family!"
"To dare to resist the Main Family like this, I will make you regret it!"
Hyuga Tenichi thought of something, his eyes filled with venomous hatred!
He turned and left.
His destination was the gathering place of the Hyuga Branch Family!
He was going to order the members of the Hyuga Branch Family to humiliate that ignorant fool who didn't know the height of the sky or the depth of the earth!
"What is he going to do?"
Hyuga Neji was taken aback.
Watching Hyuga Tenichi stride away with an arrogant and crazed expression, he felt a sense of foreboding in his heart.
With an anxious look on his small face, he hurriedly followed!
Hyuga Kagami returned to the courtyard, lying on the wooden floor to enjoy the sunlight.
He intended to get some good rest.
A man, after finishing a fight, naturally needs a good sleep!
He glanced toward the outside of the courtyard.
However... the antagonism between the Hyuga Main Family and the Branch Family was becoming increasingly acute, yet the Branch Family had no power to resist; it was just a stagnant pool of water!
Hyuga Kagami said indifferently: "Perhaps... I could bring the Branch Family under my control."
He let out a yawn: "After all, having someone bossing me around from above is, in the end, rather unpleasant!"
He didn't care about the system of the Main and Branch Families.
But there could be no one above Hyuga Kagami!
Just then, a sudden roar erupted!
"You're called Hyuga Kagami, right?"
Hyuga Tenichi's expression turned gloomy, his face twisted with arrogance. "A mere member of the Branch Family dares to talk back to the Main Family? Do you have a death wish!"
This was the answer he had received only after making inquiries.
However, he was not familiar with Hyuga Kagami.
Thus, he had no impression of him.
"Everyone, teach this ignorant fool a lesson!"
Behind him stood over a dozen members of the Hyuga Branch Family.
Upon hearing his words, their expressions turned incredibly unsightly!
They had not expected that Hyuga Tenichi would actually... order them to bully a fellow member of the Branch Family!
"What are you hesitating for?"
Hyuga Tenichi sneered, enunciating each word clearly: "Or is it... that you want to die!"
