Mini Wood Clone, the Caged Bird Seal Undone

They also helped him recover from some minor injuries that were unavoidable due to the high-intensity training.

"Thanks..."

Neji smiled.

There, they talked and laughed.

After receiving treatment from Rikuto, he did feel much better overall.

"It was nothing, no need to be so polite..."

Rikuto waved his hand.

Looking at Neji's forehead, which he deliberately covered with a strip of cloth.

He was somewhat curious and asked directly, "However, may I take a look at your Regeneration B?"

Although it may be presumptuous of me.

But he was genuinely curious.

What exactly does the Hyuga Clan's B- Cursed Seal look like?

After all, he had mastered many Sealing Jutsu through the resources of the "root".

In this respect, he can be considered an expert.

The Reincarnation B Cursed Seal is also a type of Sealing Jutsu.

"..."

Neji Hyuga's expression froze.

He fell silent, instinctively clenching his fists.

Knowing that Rikuto didn't mean to mock him, he took a deep breath and untied the cloth strip from his head. "Look if you want to!"

A bluish-green spell mark was etched on the top of his head.

Clearly visible.

It looked quite ugly.

This immediately diminished Neji Hyuga's already decent appearance.

"Isn't it ugly?"

Neji Hyuga remained expressionless and spoke calmly, "The Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan has always been coveted by outsiders because of its outstanding perceptive abilities..."

"Therefore, to prevent the Byakugan from being lost and to protect the safety of their clan, the Hyuga ancestors developed the Restoration B Cursed Seal."

"Any attempt by others to seize the Byakugan will trigger the Restoration B Cursed Seal, directly destroying the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan."

Even after death, the Byakugan will be destroyed by the restoration of B's autonomy.

There was one thing he didn't mention.

Because that involves the secret of the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan.

The B-type recovery method has a defect that can create a barely perceptible blind spot in the 360-degree field of vision of the Byakugan.

To these well-informed Rikuto, he spoke frankly, "I think the reason you hate it so much isn't just because of this, is it?"

"Indeed, once the Restoration B Cursed Seal is inscribed, one will be controlled by the Main Family for life, with no control over their own life or death..."

Neji Hyuga clenched his fists tightly.

His youthful face became somewhat distorted.

His eyes were filled with undisguised hatred and resentment as he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "My father was forced to sacrifice himself because of the constraints of the Restoration of the B clan, serving as a substitute for the head of the main Main Family, Hyuga Hiashi, and died such a miserable death!"

"The incident at Kumogakure? I have indeed heard about it!"

Rikuto nodded.

The series of brilliant moves made by the Konoha F4 over the years in power.

He was truly speechless.

How powerful Konoha was in the past.

Even now, when the Kumogakure comes knocking on their door, they can only swallow their pride and accept it.

Back then, Kumogakure, Hyuga Clan 'Kumogakure Byakugan, used the pretext of signing a ceasefire agreement to send people to kidnap Hinata Hyuga, the three-year-old daughter of the Main Family 'Hinata Hyuga Clan.

He was discovered by Hiashi, the head of the Hyuga Clan, who killed him and rescued his daughter.

As a result, the Kumogakure turned the tables and refused to admit anything.

Instead, they claimed that Konoha killed the envoy representing Kumogakure who came to negotiate, and threatened to demand that Konoha hand over the murderer.

Ultimately, considering that the Third Shinobi World War had just ended and their strength had not yet recovered, and that they had been severely weakened by the Nine-Tails' Attack, the villagers and ninjas' war-weariness was growing stronger.

The Third Hokage could only grit his Hyuga Hiashi and agree to send Hiashi Hyuga, the Hyuga clan leader, to his death, handing his body over Hyuga the Kumogakure.

Although peace was temporarily achieved and war was avoided.

They also gave a slight warning to the Hyuga clan, who were somewhat restless and always wanted to replace the former Senju Clan and compete with the Uchiha Hyuga Clan.

However, in terms of the outcome, it was undoubtedly a huge blow to the morale of everyone in Konoha.

"Isn't that ridiculous?"

Thinking of his father, and his inescapable fate.

Neji Hyuga felt a pang of bitterness in his heart, and murmured, "They were clearly a perfect couple, yet their fates are worlds apart!"

He asked himself if his talent was inferior to that of the Rikuto...

She was far superior to that mediocre, cowardly, and utterly talentless eldest daughter of the Main Family.

He had no ambition to become the Hyuga the Hyuga clan; he simply wanted to escape the cruel fate of the Branch Family.

However, the Hyuga Clan passed down the B -Cursed Seal of Restoration for thousands of years.

Yet it seems like an insurmountable chasm.

He was bound tightly.

It's like a mechanical nickel B.

They will never achieve true freedom.

"Any clan rules, regardless of their original intentions."

Extend your right hand.

He touched Neji Hyuga's Reincarnation B -Cursed Seal.

After briefly sensing the complex internal formula with his Chakra, Rikuto spoke calmly, "If things remain unchanged, clinging to the past and refusing to adapt, they will inevitably decay..."

The same applies to B.

As time went on, while it continued to protect the safety of the Hyuga Branch Family, it also became a shackle that those Branch Family families could not escape.

They became like Brother B.

While they may receive some protection, they will never gain true freedom.

No one wants their life to be killed.

With precise Chakra manipulation.

Without stimulating the Cursed Seal, Rikuto carefully examined the Recovery B seal and slowly withdrew his right hand.

Looking at Neji Hyuga was in a low mood and full of resentment.

Rikuto fully understood the other party's feelings, and remarked with some emotion, "That kind of absolute power, where the life and death of others are completely in one's hands, will inevitably lead to arrogance among the leaders of the Main Family, and with the subtle influence of generation after generation, they will gradually deviate from the original intentions of their ancestors..."

"Over time, the Main Family inevitably began to treat all the members of the Branch Family as servants."

Over the long years.

The members of the Hyuga Branch Family are treated like servants, protecting the Main Family for generations.

To ensure the continuation and inheritance of the family, it is not wrong for the Branch Family to be responsible for protecting the Main Family.

However, the Main Family 2.5 should also lead the Hyuga Clan to prosperity, thereby protecting the entire clan and making the lives of its members better and more dignified.

This obligation should be relative.

However, since the Main Family holds absolute power, various problems are bound to arise.

Undoubtedly, the rigid and inflexible Main Family succession system can ensure the stability of family power during the transition between generations.

However, if the head of the Main Family is too incompetent, it will inevitably lead to the decline of the Hyuga.

Thus, the Hizashi Hyuga incident occurred.

If Hyuga Hiashi no less than that of a "Kage," making him a force to be reckoned with by the higher-ups, and had a more assertive and less weak personality...

Which Konoha High Command dares to pressure the Hyuga Clan like that?

"You're right..."

The cloth strips were re-tied.

Cover up that ugly continuation of the B Cursed Seal.

Looking up at the azure sky, watching the birds soaring freely.

Neji Hyuga couldn't help but feel a pang of envy, and said with a touch of self-mockery, "But this is my fate, and I can't escape it!"

"That's not necessarily true. Your recovery B... perhaps I can help you solve it!"

Chapter 122 Mini Wood Clone, the Disintegrated Resumption of B

"Unlock the recovery B?"

On the lawn.

Neji Hyuga looked at Rikuto, who had just made a startling statement, but showed no excitement whatsoever.

He stared directly at the other person and spoke softly, "Throughout the long years, it's not that no one in the Hyuga Clan has ever tried to unlock the Resurrection B key, but none have succeeded; instead, they all paid the ultimate price..."

He simply didn't believe that Rikuto could do it.

After all, no matter how strong the other party is, they are still only ten years old.

It is impossible to untangle the Reincarnation B, which has bound the Hyuga Branch Family for thousands of years and from which no one has ever been able to escape.

Perhaps only a powerhouse of the Third Hokage's caliber could achieve this.

But that's only a possibility.

Whether it can be done or not is another matter entirely.

"Hmm, most people couldn't solve this..."

Rikuto nodded. "Your Cursed Seal not only connects to the optic nerve, but also to the brain. As long as the caster gently Hand Seals, the spell can be activated instantly..."

"It can cause you, the Branch Family, unbearable pain, or it can kill you instantly!"

"Moreover, it possesses more than one condition for autonomous triggering. If someone forcibly breaks the Restoration B Cursed Seal, the complex spell will activate autonomously!"

He had previously conducted a thorough examination of the Restoration B Cursed Seal.

This is indeed a terrifying, unsolvable, and despair-inducing Cursed Seal.

It is extremely complex and ruthless, and closely related to the brain's neural pathways.

At the very least, even if a powerful expert skilled in Sealing Jutsu were willing to undo the Restoration B -Cursed Seal for the Hyuga Branch Family members, success was not guaranteed, and the slightest mistake could even lead to the death of the person targeted.

"As expected of the disciple of the 'medical master'..."

Neji stared at Rikuto in surprise. "You managed to understand so much from just a slight examination!"

"But in doing so, you should be able to understand more deeply that it is unsolvable!"

He gave a wry smile.

His face inevitably showed some sadness.

If this Cursed Seal could be broken so easily, it wouldn't be called "Restoration B".

"External forces are generally very difficult to resolve..."
