After entering the forbidden secret room, Rizu's face softened, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

The vault where the 'Caged Bird Spell Seal' spell scroll was stored was not opened by the intruder, which was a blessing in misfortune for Hizu.

"Roll your eyes, open!"

After opening the white of his eyes, Hinata carefully examined the secret vault.

The secret vault of the Hyuga clan is not large, and it is about the size of an ordinary hall, because there are not many items that are qualified to be stored here.

The casting scroll of the 'Caged Bird Spell Seal' is stored in a treasure crate in the deepest part of the vault.

There is a very delicate sealing technique arranged on the treasure box, and those who can lift this sealing technique are only the head of the family Hinata and a few clan elders.

After carefully observing the treasure box containing the 'Caged Bird Spell Seal' spell scroll, Rizu's expression became a little solemn.

Because he found that the sealing technique on the treasure box had been triggered by someone, the alarm bell he heard before should be the alarm bell activated by the sealing technique after the intruder triggered the seal on the treasure box.

Looking away from the crate, Hizuku surveyed the rest of the vault.

Soon, he discovered that the shelves in the vault containing the thousand-year-old history and secrets of the Hyuga clan seemed to have been turned over.

He walked over quickly, counted the books on the shelves, and his face immediately changed.

After a brief inventory, he found that at least three ancient books were missing from the shelves, and these three ancient books were all records of the white eyes and the secret of the 'caged bird curse mark'.

Hinata secretly mused, "The purpose of the intruder is very clear! ”

From the theft of several ancient books that recorded the secrets of the 'Caged Bird Spell Seal', to the fact that the sealing spell on the treasure box containing the 'Caged Bird Spell Mark' spell casting scroll was triggered by someone, it can be seen that the intruder's purpose is very clear, that it is for the 'Caged Bird Spell Mark'.

After checking the vault one last time to make sure that nothing else was missing, Hinata walked out of the vault with a gloomy face.

At this time, the outer hall of the secret vault was already full of Hyuga clansmen, and several elders of the clan also rushed over when they heard the news, even the sect family that had been robbed of a white eye in the Third Ninja World War was among them.

Everyone was inspecting the corpse of the slain elder, and when they saw Rizu coming out of the secret vault, they all asked, "Is the casting scroll of the 'Caged Bird Curse Seal' okay?" ”

The sun foot nodded.

After receiving a positive reply from Rizu, the members of the clan breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although they all knew that the crate containing the 'Caged Bird Spell Seal' spell casting scroll was equipped with a very elaborate sealing technique, the chances of an intruder stealing the Caged Bird Spell Seal were slim to none.

But the thought that the casting scroll of the 'Caged Bird Spell Seal' might be stolen by someone shuddered.

Seeing that the sect members were so worried about the 'Caged Bird Curse Mark' that could control the life and death of the split family, as the day difference of the split family, his expression was extremely complicated, he was not only disgusted by the clan's control of the 'Caged Bird Curse Mark', but also worried that the 'Caged Bird Curse Mark' would really fall into the hands of others.

At this time, Rizu came to the slain patriarch and asked, "How did the clan elder die?" ”

A patriarch stepped forward and peeled off the collar of the murdered patriarch, revealing two black tooth marks on his neck, and said, "Judging from the tooth marks, it should be a poisonous snake!" ”

Hizoku subconsciously said, "How is this possible? ”

The secret vault forbidden land in the Hyuga clan's clan mansion, let alone other people, even ordinary Hyuga clansmen can't easily approach, plus the clan elder stationed in the secret vault forbidden place is an experienced ninja, so he died of a poisonous snake sneak attack, which is really incredible in Hinata's opinion.

Another member of the clan glanced at Rizai and ordered, "Those who split the family, exit the forbidden land first for the time being!" ”

Hinaja said angrily, "What do you mean, do you suspect that we are separated?" ”

In the face of Riza's questioning, the members of the sect were silent, but the suspicion and jealousy on their faces were not concealed in the slightest.

Needless to say, although the intruder failed to steal the spell scroll of the 'Caged Bird Spell Seal', it planted the seeds of suspicion between the Hyuga clan and the split family.

Considering that the intruder was indeed coming for the 'Caged Bird Curse Mark', Hizuku said coldly: "Hizai, you should retreat first!" ”

The day was helpless, so he had to lead the patrol team out of the secret vault.

After all the members of the clan left, one of the clansmen asked Hizoku, "What have been stolen from the secret vault?" ”

Hizuki did not hide it, and told everyone about the theft of several ancient books that recorded the 'Caged Bird Curse Seal' in the secret vault.

The one-eyed member of the sect said with an embarrassed face: "Hmph, it's really for the 'Caged Bird Curse Mark'!" ”

Another member of the clan said: "I have checked the visitor list, and there are no outsiders in the mansion today, so the intruder can only be a member of our family!" ”

Rizu shook his head and said, "It would be too arbitrary to judge the murderer now as a separation." ”

Rizu is not blindly shielding the split family, but the patriarch who sits in the outer hall of the secret vault will also have the 'Caged Bird Curse Seal', so it is difficult for the members of the Split Family to sneak attack a sect elder who holds the 'Caged Bird Curse Mark'. After all, as long as the clan elder activates the 'Caged Bird Curse Seal', he can subdue any member of the clan in an instant.

One of the members of the clan who first discovered the cause of the death of the patriarch said: "Being able to poison the clan elder in an instant, the poison of this poisonous snake is by no means ordinary, don't you think of anyone?" ”

Rizu's face changed: "You mean Orochimaru?" ”

The member of the sect bowed his head and said, "Yes, before Orochimaru defected, he attacked you and injured you, so everyone must still remember that incident!" ”

What the members of the clan were referring to was naturally the last thing that Orochimaru used to collect materials for the reincarnation eye test of the Hyuga mirror before he defected a few years ago. In that incident, Orochimaru personally attacked Hinazu and obtained a part of Hinado's flesh and blood, allowing Hinata to collect all the special genetic sequences.

At that time, because Orochimaru was in a high position and his identity was sensitive, the Hyuga clan did not make a public announcement, but within the clan, everyone knew about it.

Hizoku said, "Do you suspect that there are members of the split family who are colluding with Orochimaru to try to obtain the 'Caged Bird Curse Mark'? ”

The members of the clan all nodded, unanimously expressing their suspicions about the separation.

After pondering for a long time, Rizu said: "When the day errand happened, he was by my side, so he can be trusted, and I will let him cooperate with us to conduct an investigation of the separation family!" ”

At this time, a member of the clan said solemnly: "I heard that many people in the branch have recently questioned our family's traditions, and some even openly questioned Jiuquan..."
