The Hyūga Clan Will Only Get Better, Sarutobi Asuma Grows Anxious

"My Lotus Mark?"

Hyūga Sanming looked at his father, Hyūga Masame, and explained earnestly, "Father, this mark was inscribed to cover the Caged Bird Curse Mark!"

"With this mark, we no longer have to fear the torment of the Caged Bird!"

"Now, all of us in the Hyūga Branch Family have been completely liberated!"

Hyūga Sanming explained everything to his father. As he spoke, tears of excitement streamed down his face. From the day he was born, he had borne the mission of the Branch House, obeying the Main House without question and willing to give up everything for the clan.
