Ch. 31What Was I Touching Just Now?

Summary: "What Was I Touching Just Now?"

1. Key Plot Points & Events

  • Genjutsu Ambush: Wuye is trapped in a powerful genjutsu (cast by Uchiha Yuxiong, colluding with Hyuga Naoya). The illusion tricks him into attacking a fake "Hyuga Naoya" within the Hyuga Clan grounds.
  • Failed Illusion Attack: In the genjutsu, Wuye fights desperately, suffering severe injuries. He notices logical inconsistencies (his chakra points were sealed, yet he could use ninjutsu; he shouldn't have Sharingan vision; he was warned to stay near Kaguya) and realizes it's genjutsu—but can't break free on his own.
  • Kaguya Breaks the Spell: Kaguya infuses her chakra into him, shattering the genjutsu. Wuye wakes up in her embrace—with his hand on her chest (the "what was I touching" moment).
  • Public Confrontation: Hyuga Naoya arrives with clansmen, accusing Wuye of ambushing the Clan Head. Kaguya dismisses it as "siblings playing around," but Naoya demands Wuye be expelled or branded with the Caged Bird. Kaguya refuses, asserting the Caged Bird is abolished.
  • Conspiracy Exposed: Wuye realizes the plot was a joint scheme—Naoya sought to force either Wuye's expulsion or his branding with the Caged Bird, benefiting either way. Kaguya spots Uchiha Yuxiong watching but it's only a shadow clone, so he escapes unexposed.
  • Aftermath: Naoya vows to remove Kaguya as Clan Head, believing the Caged Bird is the clan's foundation. Wuye begins plotting counter-schemes to weaken Naoya. Kaguya sighs about the recent "30 million ryo" problem.

2. Character Developments

  • Hyuga Wuye: Shows sharp analytical thinking even under lethal threat (spotting genjutsu inconsistencies mid-battle). Transitions from physical survival to political scheming—vowing to undermine Naoya strategically rather than through direct confrontation.
  • Kaguya: Demonstrates fierce protectiveness of Wuye, using her authority to shield him from clan politics. Her physical reaction (blushing earlobes) reveals genuine emotional attachment. However, her control over the clan remains fragile—she must rely on authority rather than influence.
  • Hyuga Naoya: Revealed as the main antagonist—scheming, colluding with the Uchiha, prioritizing the Caged Bird system above all. Believes Kaguya will "lead the clan to ruin" and openly vows to depose her.
  • Uchiha Yuxiong: Cautious and cunning; used a shadow clone to avoid detection, leaving no evidence against the Uchiha.

3. Significant Themes

  • Clan Politics & Conspiracy: The chapter centers on political machinations—Naoya's collusion with the Uchiha, framing Wuye through genjutsu, and the power struggle between the Clan Head and the Grand Elder.
  • The Caged Bird Controversy: Naoya considers the Caged Bird the "foundation" of the Hyuga Clan; Kaguya's abolition of it is framed as potentially ruinous. This is the ideological core of the conflict.
  • Power vs. Authority: Kaguya has superior strength but weaker political control; Naoya compensates with scheming and influence. Wuye reflects that when strength is lacking, conspiracies fill the gap.
  • Perception vs. Reality: Public perception matters more than truth—the rumors of sibling "intimacy" will overshadow the assassination plot, undermining Naoya's scheme.
  • Accidental Comedy/Tension: The "groping" incident provides a lighter, awkward counterpoint to the otherwise dark political intrigue.

4. Character Interactions

  • Wuye & Kaguya: Intimate, physically close siblings; she holds him to break the genjutsu, strokes his head, and defends him publicly. Wuye's accidental groping creates mutual embarrassment (she hides it, he is briefly stunned). She injects chakra into him while calmly conversing with Naoya.
  • Kaguya vs. Naoya: Direct verbal confrontation—she calls his methods "unscrupulous," he accuses her of ruining the clan. He coldly vows: "I will remove you from your position."
  • Wuye vs. Naoya: Wuye puts on an innocent act ("my sister and I were hugging"); Naoya is openly hostile, demanding punishment.
  • Wuye's Internal Observation: He mentally compares Naoya to Danzo—an old schemer using clan interests as a personal excuse.
    Note: The "30 million ryo" reference at the end is an unresolved debt/problem weighing on Kaguya, likely tied to an earlier plot thread (possibly a prior incident's compensation).
