On the other side, Uchiha Takashi's side was being dealt with by Kyō Uchiha, who was in charge of handling the Main Family head and the Grand Elder, while he led his men to deal with the other members of the Main Family.
However, the total number of members in the Main Family is not large. Apart from these two adults, there is only one second elder, and the rest are all children who haven't yet caught the Caged Bird Seal.
After easily defeating the Second Elder of the Main Family, Uchiha Takashi left Main Family Second Elder's residence and headed to another place.
At this point, the Main Family of the Uchiha clan was already in complete chaos. After the Uchiha Clan had dealt with three elders who could use the Caged Bird Seal, the Branch Family family members could no longer contain their anger and rushed in.
They began a frenzied revenge against those Main Family who had always looked down on them and oppressed them.
Uchiha Takashi didn't step forward to stop him. The Branch Family's resentment needed to be vented, and if he went to stop Branch Family now, that resentment might be transferred to the Uchiha. He wasn't stupid.
Just then, a small Hyuga ran towards them. The smooth hair on his forehead meant that he was not a member of the Branch Family, but a Main Family.
Behind him were several members of the Branch Family family, chasing after the little one.
As the little one ran, panting heavily, he suddenly spotted Uchiha Takashi. He immediately quickened his pace, ran behind Uchiha Takashi, and hid.
The members of the Hyuga Branch Family also rushed up to Uchiha Takashi at this moment, and seeing Uchiha Takashi, they quickly stopped.
" Uchiha, we are hunting down members of the main branch of the Main Family. Please hand her over to us."
Uchiha Takashi frowned. Ah, it's a girl? He turned to look at the little one, whose face was covered in dust and who was wearing ordinary Main Family clothes.
He genuinely hadn't realized it was a woman; he'd thought it was a man.
If it weren't for the fact that men and women in this small country pronounce "he" differently, he really wouldn't have been able to tell the difference.
The little one hiding behind Uchiha Takashi turned deathly pale upon hearing the words about the Branch Family, his tiny hands gripping Uchiha Takashi's robes tightly.
"Please, save me! Don't hand me over to them! They want to kill me!" the little boy pleaded incessantly.
Uchiha Takashi looked quietly at the little one, then turned to the Hyuga Branch Family: "I can understand that you want revenge against the Main Family, but this child is only a few years old, right? Don't tell me she was involved in bullying you too."
The members of the Branch Family Branch Family choked for a moment upon hearing this, then one of them gritted his teeth and said, "Even if she didn't participate in oppressing us, she still enjoyed the benefits of the Main Family!"
"No, I didn't! My father wanted to kill the Caged Bird Seal and send me to live separately from the Branch Family!" Upon hearing this, the little boy quickly denied it and immediately explained...
Uchiha Takashi nodded thoughtfully, then said to the Branch Family members, "Since this little one is about to be sent to the Branch Family, strictly speaking, shouldn't she be considered a member of your Branch Family?"
"You 'Branch Family, are you really this ruthless even to your own people?"
The members of the Branch Family scratched the back of their heads, stammering. They hadn't been thinking about these things at all; as long as there wasn't Caged Bird Seal their foreheads, they'd all be treated as members of the Main Family and killed.
Seeing the Branch Family members in this state, Uchiha Takashi roughly guessed what they wanted to do. Looking at the little one's pitiful appearance, he sighed and said:
"You may seek revenge after the Branch Family, but every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor. You should only seek revenge against the Main Family members and those who have oppressed you in the past."
Instead of retaliating against children who didn't enjoy many benefits in the Main Family and were about to be assigned to the Branch Family.
Are you trying to tell me that this child, so young, is capable of bullying you? Is she Caged Bird Seal?
Or did she avoid the war? Even if you were to separate the Branch Family, you wouldn't send such a young child to the battlefield, would you?
The members of the Branch Family looked at each other, then lowered their heads. "Yes, we understand, Uchiha."
Uchiha Takashi nodded and then sent the Branch Family members away.
Only after the members of the Branch Family had walked far away did Uchiha Takashi speak calmly, "How much longer are you going to hide? Aren't you going to let go?"
The little boy was startled and quickly released his grip on Uchiha Takashi's hand, bowing repeatedly in gratitude. "Thank you for saving me, thank you!"
Uchiha Takashi waved his hand. "I just don't want an innocent child to get involved. Adults should handle their own affairs; there's no need to drag the child into it."
After bowing, the little one cautiously said, "Um, sir, may I come with you? I'm afraid if I stay here, the people from the Branch Family will..."
Uchiha Takashi glanced at the little one, saw the child's frightened expression, and smiled, "What if I say no?"
Upon hearing this, the little boy turned pale with fright, shook his head frantically, and clung tightly to Uchiha Takashi's leg. "No, you have to save me! If I stay here, the other Branch Family will definitely kill me!"
Uchiha Takashi looked up at the commotion in the distance, then glanced down at the little one's frightened expression, and finally sighed, saying, "Alright, then you can come with me and leave this place. It's really dangerous here."
Then, Uchiha Takashi slowly squatted down. "What's your name? How old are you?"
The little one answered shakily, "Hi... Hyuga Yō is five years old this year."
Uchiha Takashi nodded. Five years old? That really shouldn't be involved. Then, he patted the little one's head. "Alright, then you'll come with me. Stay close, or I won't be responsible for you if you fall behind."
Hyuga Yō muttered softly, "Mom said touching your head won't make you grow taller."
"Heh," Uchiha Takashi laughed again. Only a child would believe such a thing, but it was also a childlike innocence unique to children.
He scooped up Hyuga Yō in his arms. "Alright, enough of this nonsense, let's go." With that, he took the little one and left the Hyuga Clan's Main Family.
However, before he left, he sent a message instructing members of the Uchiha and the Hyuga Branch Family family not to lay a hand on children under the age of six.
This could be considered one of his methods for protecting children; after all, children under six years old are unlikely to be involved.
Night passed quickly, and the Main Family's territory was now covered in blood. Members of the Branch Family families were cleaning up the Main Family's territory.
Because of the last-minute order issued by Uchiha Takashi last night, a portion of the main Main Family remained.
They were all children, only five or six years old, gathered inside the Main Family mansion, their eyes filled with fear as they looked around at the Branch Family members and Uchiha clansmen.
Meanwhile, Kyō Uchiha and the Hyuga Branch Family head sat on the other side, looking out the door and waiting for Uchiha Takashi's arrival.
