In the eastern district of Konoha, within the secluded and ancient residence of the Hyuga Clan.
The silence that had lasted for centuries has been utterly shattered today.
" Hizashi... you really came back alive?!"
"The Hizashi- sama who sacrificed himself for the village back then... is standing unharmed at the ancestral hall entrance?!"
The news swept through the courtyard and alleys like a hurricane.
Hundred Plans Hyuga Branch Family ninjas, their foreheads wrapped in white cloth, could no longer maintain their former numbness and obedience.
They flocked in droves to the solemn ancestral hall with its blue tiles in the very center.
Looking at Hizashi resolute Hizashi standing on the stone steps of the courtyard, the Branch Family ninjas trembled and tears welled up in their eyes.
The humiliation and suffering that had been suppressed for hundreds of years transformed into a raging torrent at this moment!
Inside the main hall of the ancestral temple, incense smoke wafted.
The air was so cold that water droplets would freeze instantly.
The Hyuga brothers, Hyuga Hiashi and Hizashi Hyuga, stood side by side, facing the several elders of the Main Family seated in the hall.
Hiashi took a deep breath and slammed the clan chief's sword heavily onto the table.
"Today we have gathered the entire clan, not for reminiscing, but for one matter!"
Hiashi, with piercing eyes, and a booming voice that resounded throughout the hall:
" The Senju the Great has returned to Konoha; the world has changed!"
"From this day forward, the Hyuga Clan abolishes the old system of main and Branch Family Main Family!"
"Permanently remove the ' Caged Bird Seal ' Cursed Seal from the foreheads of all Branch Family!"
One sentence stirred up a huge wave!
The several gray-haired, conservative elders of the Main Family sitting in the hall sprang up from their chairs like vicious dogs whose tails had been stepped on!
"Insolence! Outrageous!"
The leading Main Family was furious. He slammed his dragon-carved staff into the ground, unleashing a deafening roar.
" Hiashi! What kind of bewitching potion did that madman Senju Kenya give you?!"
" The Caged Bird Seal is the foundation upon which the Hyuga Clan has built its legacy for thousands of years!"
"Without Caged Bird Seal, who will protect the bloodline of the Main Family to the death? Who will bear the responsibility when outsiders steal the Byakugan from the Main Family?!"
The elder pointed at Hiashi and Hizashi below the steps, spitting as he cursed loudly:
"The ancestral laws cannot be changed! The lowly lives of those Branch Family are born to die protecting the Main Family!"
"The fact that Hizashi didn't die is a disgrace that violates the greater good!"
"If you two brothers dare to utter another word about abolishing the Caged Bird Seal policy, I will activate the Main Family seal right now and crush you traitors to pieces on the spot!"
The moment the words left his mouth.
The Main Family frantically changed hand seals, Chakra exploded forth!
His forehead veins bulged as he attempted to activate the " Main Family Control Master Curse " hidden beneath the ancestral hall's earth veins, forcibly inflicting pain on the Branch Family!
Outside the compound, Hundred Plans of the Branch Family ninjas instinctively covered their foreheads, their eyes filled with unforgettable fear and despair.
Could it be... that fate is truly unchangeable?!
However.
Before the elder could fully complete the spell...
"Bang!"
The two heavy solid wood doors of the Hyuga Ancestral Hall, each weighing over a thousand pounds, are carved with protective barriers for the clan.
It was kicked into a cloud of sawdust like trash!
Wood chips flew everywhere.
A tall figure wearing floral shorts and flip-flops strolled in slowly.
Senju Kenya had a white jade pipe between his teeth and his hands in his pockets.
Hinata followed closely behind, her small face full of Hinata, while Neji held the black iron greatsword.
"Who goes there?! How dare they trespass into the Hyuga Shrine?!"
The Main Family who Hand Seals the hand seals was shocked and shouted angrily.
Kenya didn't even glance at him.
He wore flip-flops, under the suffocating gazes Hyuga hundreds of Hyuga clan members.
One step, two steps.
He leisurely stepped up the stairs, walked directly past the Hiashi brothers, and stood in front of the Main Family with a ferocious expression.
Kenya took off his pipe and slowly exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.
A cloud of smoke billowed towards him, causing the elder to cough violently.
"Quite the chatter, you old codger."
Kenya remained calm, his breathing rhythm unchanged.
"I heard you yelling about ancestral laws right at the village entrance."
"The ancestors you speak of didn't even dare to breathe loudly in front of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju back then."
"What? You've gotten so big for yourselves now, treating a worthless talisman like an imperial edict?"
The Main Family was both shocked and furious, and instinctively tried to step back Hand Seals:
"What... what do you think you're doing?! This is the Hyuga Ancestral Hall, not a place for you to run wild—"
Kenya completely ignored his nonsense.
He didn't even glance at the scroll for unsealing the abandoned Cursed Seal.
His right hand slowly rose from the pocket of his floral shorts.
Extend your index finger.
That finger was instantly enveloped in a deep, pure black gold color!
Armament Haki - Extreme Vibration!
Kenya's eyes turned cold as he raised his dark gold index finger, pointing it at the elder's brow, where the elder was about to activate his Chakra.
Gently, move forward a little.
Shigan - Break Through Barriers!
There was no flying blood and gore, and no head being blown off.
In the blink of an eye, fingertips touched the elder's skin.
A pure physical shock force, exceeding the norms of the Shinobi World and compressed to its extreme, slammed into the depths of the brain through the acupoints!
"Snap--!"
A crisp, clear sound, like ten thousand years of ancient ice shattering, eerily exploded throughout the ancestral hall!
The Main Family had the Main Family's controlling mother curse deeply ingrained in his mind for decades.
Under the onslaught of this tyrannical and unreasonable Armament Haki.
They couldn't even withstand it for half a second!
It was instantly shattered into countless pale blue Chakra spots!
Not only that!
The violent shockwave from the collapse of the Mother Curse swept back and engulfed all the Branch Family ninjas present, following the invisible resonance lines of bloodline and Chakra!
"Snap! Snap! Snap!"
The dense, cracking sounds, like silkworms breaking free of their cocoons, echoed throughout the courtyard!
The white cloth strips wrapped around the foreheads of all the Branch Family ninjas shattered instantly!
That green, malevolent swastika symbol Caged Bird Seal mark, has haunted countless generations of the Branch Family families since the Sengoku period.
At that moment, they all turned to ashes and scattered with the wind!
Absolutely defies physical laws!
Pure violence so extreme that it can even smash a soul curse!
The Caged Bird Seal, under this single finger, was utterly reduced to dust in history!
In the main hall of the ancestral temple, the clan elder, who was so proud of his Main Family, had all the magical power in his mind vanished.
He touched his smooth brow, feeling as if his spine had been removed.
The elders touched their foreheads and collapsed to the ground in terror, while the Branch Family ninjas erupted in deafening cheers.
