Inside the secret vault of the Hyuga family's mansion.

"And so it was..."

Looking through the genealogy of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Mirror found that during the Warring States Period, there were a large number of records of marriages between the Hyuga clan and the Kaguya clan, but the vast majority of them were women from the Kaguya clan who married into the Hyuga clan, and almost no women from the Hyuga clan married into the Kaguya clan, so there was no record of the outflow of white eyes.

And from the few words on the genealogy, it can also be clearly seen that there is a bloodline relationship between the Hyuga clan and the Kabaya clan, and it should belong to two bloodlines under the same ancestral lineage.

But with the establishment of Konoha and Kirin Ninja Villages, the relationship between the Hyuga clan and the Kaguya clan, which belong to two different villages, quickly cooled down.

"Huh..."

Suddenly, Hinata, who was flipping through the pages of the family tree, suddenly realized something.

In the more than 900 years of genealogical history, the population of the Hyuga clan has been maintained in the range of about 3,000 people, and this belongs to the top and largest ninja clan like Senju and Uchiha during the chaotic Warring States period.

But for some reason, since 300 years ago, the population of the Hyuga clan has begun to decrease year by year.

Up to now, counting all the people hidden by the family, there are only more than 700 people in the entire Hyuga clan, and most of them are old and weak women and children.

In the long three hundred years of change, the population of the ethnic group has decreased from 3,000 to 700, which may not be very noticeable, but in the ten or so minutes that Hyuga Mirror flipped through the family tree, the number of clansmen has decreased year by year, which is particularly eye-catching in his eyes.

"Is it because of the war?"

Hinata muttered.

War is the main culprit of the sharp decline in the population of many ninja tribes, the previous huge Thousand Hands Clan, it was because of the first soldiers in several wars after the establishment of Konoha that led to heavy losses and a sharp decline in the population, coupled with the policy of the first generation to completely integrate the Thousand Hands Clan into Konoha , resulting in a large number of intermarriages between women and ordinary villagers of the Thousand Hands Clan, further diluting the blood of the Thousand Hands Clan, so that the 'Thousand Hands' ninja clan is now in name only.

But soon Hinata denied his speculation.

Because he looked through the genealogy, he found that except for a record of the mysterious death of hundreds of clansmen three hundred years ago, there was no record of a large number of clansmen dying in a short period of time on the genealogy.

But this is also a matter of course, even in the war, the Hyuga clan is more of a reconnaissance and garrison role, neither like the Thousand Hands clan to take the lead, nor as warlike as the Uchiha, in terms of the number of casualties, is undoubtedly far below the average.

"It's not the cause of the war, and there have been no large-scale rebellions and infighting within the clan, so why is the population of the clan getting smaller and smaller? And the reduction is so smooth that it doesn't attract attention, as if there is a pair of big hands secretly manipulating..."

The doubts in Hinata's heart are getting bigger and bigger.

In the perception of ordinary people, the Hyuga clan is already the first-class clan of Konoha, and the Uchiha clan with the same name seems to be only half of the Hyuga clan.

However, this view is just a misunderstanding by some people who don't know about the Uchiha clan.

The real situation is that the ninjas of the Uchiha clan are indeed far less than the Hyuga clan, only about half of the Hyuga clan, but the Uchiha clan's clansmen are not less than the Hyuga clan, on the contrary, if you count all the clansmen, the Uchiha clan is far more than the Hyuga clan, but the vast majority of the Uchiha clan has not awakened the Sharingan, nor has the qualification to become a ninja, almost no different from ordinary villagers, so it seems that the Uchiha clan's clansmen seem to be less than the Hyuga clan.

You must know that the Uchiha clan's clan area is the largest among all the ninjas in Konoha, and it is far more than other ninja clans, and all kinds of shops inside it are readily available, almost self-sufficient, and it looks like a village in a village, but because the location is too remote and in the corner of Konoha, it is not very inconspicuous.

"The demise of the Thousand Hands is due to the decisions of the first generation, which is caused by human factors. And the Uchiha has experienced the exodus of Madara Uchiha, the infighting when he developed 'Izanagi', and the large number of casualties in several wars, but the number of the clansmen is still maintained at a normal value, but the Hyuga has been steady all the way, and the clansmen are slowly decreasing, which is also too strange! ”

The more I pondered it, the more strange Hinata felt strange.

And at this time, he suddenly thought of the big barrel wood clan on the moon.

In his impression, the big barrel wood branch on the moon already had the giant reincarnation eye when it officially launched the rebellion, and because of this, the branch family almost unscathed on the battlefield of the decisive battle with the zong family.

In other words, in the event of a decisive battle, the large barrel wood division that could draw thousands of troops did not lose any personnel at all.

Then this arises a very strange question, with a total population of nearly 10,000 people, why did only one of the big barrel wooden house people die for no reason on the moon without foreign enemies?

"In a relative period of time, the total amount of chakra is fixed, so the big barrel wood division on the moon has successively gathered the white eyes of the deceased into the giant reincarnation eye, which directly causes the giant reincarnation eye to become stronger and stronger, and the chakra of the deceased has merged into the giant reincarnation eye, without ** return, the newborn will naturally be greatly reduced, so it is the giant reincarnation eye that suppresses the population of the big barrel wood family, the stronger the giant reincarnation eye, the fewer people in the big barrel wood family?"

In a trance, Hyuga Mirror had a bold guess in his head.

"If my guess is correct, then if the Great Barrel Wooden House Man can be born under the suppression of the Giant Reincarnation Eye, doesn't it mean that he must have the qualifications to awaken the Reincarnation Eye?"

Following this line of thought, Hinata's gaze returned to the genealogy in his hand, and he wondered: "Then what is it that is suppressing the population of the Hyuga clan?" ”

The population of the Hyuga clan in the ninja world is decreasing year by year, although it is not as exaggerated as the big barrel wood division on the moon, which has almost wiped out the clan, but it does exist.

Unconsciously, Hinata's gaze fell on the record of the mysterious death of hundreds of clansmen three hundred years ago on the family tree.

"With the style of exterminating the clan on the moon, after they know that a large number of white eyes can create giant reincarnation eyes, they will never be willing to dig out the white eyes of their own clan, they will definitely use various means to plunder the white eyes of the white eyes to create giant reincarnation eyes."

"And the Hyuga clan who is in the ninja world is obviously a good target, after all, in terms of physique and skills, the Hyuga clan, which directly owns the inheritance of the Otsuki Feather Village, can be much stronger than the Hyuga clan, and the white eyes of the Hyuga clan also meet the standards for making giant reincarnated eyes."

"Counting the time, it seems that it was three hundred years ago..."

"But I remember that the giant reincarnation eye on the moon was all made of the white eyes of the big barrel wood family? The bizarre death of these hundreds of clansmen on the genealogy was plundered by the big barrel wood family, or was it the Hyuga clan at that time in order to protect themselves..."
