Caged Bird, When Will You Fly?

Everyone turned in unison toward the entrance.

There stood Kanami in the doorway, his hair still slightly tousled.

Hyuga Hiashi's mouth twitched.

You'd better really have something important!

"Lord Kanami..."

"Holy shit! Lord Kanami is here!"

"The clan head is amazing. He even invited Lord Kanami."

"He's the clan head's excellent son-in-law. Isn't it normal for him to come?"

"Our Hyuga Clan will prosper more and more in the future!"

The Hyuga clansmen were all excited the moment they saw Kanami.

In their hearts, Kanami had long become a figure comparable to the Hokage.

Some even believed that Kanami ought to be the Hokage.

They simply did not dare say so openly.

"Ah, um..."

Kanami walked to the front with an awkward smile.

By sheer coincidence, he stopped right in front of the Hyuga Clan's Second Elder.

The Second Elder's face flushed red with anger, but he did not dare say a word.

The scene of the First Elder being beaten to death was still etched in his mind!

Endure it!

"Kanami, if you have something to say, go ahead."

Hyuga Hiashi spoke.

Kanami nodded slightly and swept his gaze across the crowd. "I came today to do something important—

To completely kill the Branch House!"

Everyone's expressions changed drastically. "What?!"

"What did you say?!"

"You want to kill us from the Branch House?!"

"You want to kill everyone from the Branch House?!"

"Damn it! I thought you, Kanami, were Konoha's great hero and would truly fulfill your old promise to help us remove the Caged Bird!"

The Branch House members all rose to their feet.

Hyuga Hiashi's expression changed instantly.

He could not understand why Kanami would say such a thing on the eve of his wedding.

Could it be that he truly did not want to marry Hinata
