Unconsciously, Ning Ci chased after the figure in the sky and had already left the range of Konoha.

Crossing barren mountains, woods, and meadows, losing sight of the enemy in front of an unknown cave.

Ying Ting's fair face was already sweating, Ning Ci looked around left and right, and his white eyes full of green tendons burst out with terrifying pupil power, penetrating mountains and rivers, scraping the ground and searching, and finally, the enemy appeared in his sight again.

"Is it ...... underground?"

He frowned, and he didn't care if it was the Longtan Tiger's Den in front of him, and his figure flashed, and he disappeared into the dark cave.

There was a deathly silence in the cave, and there were many forks in it, but fortunately, thanks to the help of the white eye, Ning Ci did not get lost, and in a short time, he reached the bottom of the cave.

The air here is very humid, and although it is the bottom of the cave, it is not impossible to reach out and lose sight of the fingers, on the contrary, it is very bright.

Not far from the feet, there is a deep pool of turquoise, and the water is shining. Ning Ci stared at this deep pool, and for the first time there was a puzzled look in his eyes.

"What is it about this place that can distort the vision of the white eyes?"

He didn't have a clue, and because of the situation, he could only seize the time to step forward and pick up a pool of water.

The turquoise pool water emitted a faint fluorescence, and there was a feeling of unreality, and Ning Ci was surprised to find that this pool of water was not sticky to his palms like ordinary water.

He pinched a handful of water, and it all ran between his fingers, but his palms were still as clean as ever.

Weird places, weird pools, where the hell does this lead down there?

However, no matter how strange this place was, Ning Ci could be sure that the enemy had indeed entered here. He took a few steps back, lunged at him, and plunged into the pool.

The inside of the pool water is clear, and as it goes deeper, Ning Ci's white eyes reflect a spherical thing, like the aggregation of stones, and like bubbles, like a dream.

More and more of these things were reflected in his eyes, reflected in his brain, and he had a moment of trance, as if he had seen all the things he had experienced over the years.

When he was young, his father took his hand and went to the Zongjia, at that time, his father was still there, and the young Ning Ci was not engraved with the "caged bird" curse mark on his forehead.

His father took him to see the lovely little girl of the Zong family, saying that it was his sister, and Ning Ci looked at her with a very happy smile.

When the two first met, the little girl was a little timid and curious, and she looked very cute hiding behind an adult, but her eyes were close and gentle. From that moment on, Ning Ci decided that he must protect her and be a qualified brother.

At that time, he didn't understand the difference between the clan family and the separation family, but he was just an elder brother who simply wanted to protect his sister and protect his relatives.

If his fate had not changed, he would have persevered with this simple original intention. However, fate is always impermanent, and all the original intentions and innocence will undergo drastic changes in the hideous fate.

The water in the pool was clear, and Ning Ci, who was enveloping it, closed his eyes at some point, and his face showed a look of struggle.

When did that original intention change?

It was after this meeting that he was engraved on his forehead with the spell mark called "Caged Bird", which he didn't care, but he saw the scene of the patriarch using a secret technique to punish his father.

The green spell mark tightened the father's forehead like a tight hoop, and the usually powerful father fell to the ground without resistance, and was called the elder brother's punishment.

If he could, the majestic patriarch could take his father's life at any time, and Ning Ci finally understood the meaning of the spell mark on his forehead.

"Ningji, you have to remember that you were born to protect the Hinata-sama of the clan and the bloodline of the Hyuga clan."

"Yes, Father!" He replied through gritted teeth.

It turned out that this curse mark was an absolute death threat from the sect family to the person who split the family, and it could easily destroy the cranial nerves of the person who split the family, and this curse mark would not disappear until death.

Ning Ci's young and innocent heart has been put on a shackle since then, a shackle that can never be untied except death.

He began to recognize his fate, and it was his mission to protect the eldest lady of the clan and the Hyuga clan.

This mission did not last long, because a greater change quietly struck, and he was four years old that year.

One night, it was dark and gloomy, and the eldest lady of the clan was robbed by ninjas from other villages, and the patriarch Hinata Hinata discovered and killed the other party, revealing the true face of the enemy only to find out that the other party was the leader of the thunder ninja who came to conclude an alliance.

Due to the death of this person, the alliance contract broke down, and Konoha clashed with the Land of Thunder, and even almost went to war. However, Konoha made a deal with the country of thunder, and the country of thunder demanded the surrender of the corpse of the Hyuga sect, that is, Hinata Hinata, who possessed the white-eyed blood inheritance limit.

For the sake of peace, both Konoha and Hyuga agree to the deal, but what they hand over is the body of Ninji's father.

That year, when Ning Ji was four years old, his father died as a stand-in for Hinata Hinata in order to protect the Zong family!

is obviously a pair of twins of equal strength, but due to the difference in birth order, each other's fates are completely different.

Hatred spreads in the young heart, and Ning Ci can't take revenge, and what's even more sad is that because of the mark on his forehead, he can't even resist.

The fate of the caged bird seems to have been predestined for a long time. As he grew up alone, he became more and more aware that no one could change his fate.

The timeline is extended, Ning Ji is thirteen years old, he takes the middle ninja exam, and the person who fights against him is none other than the eldest lady of the Zong family, Hinata Hinata, who is also his sister.

He had already seen the outcome of this battle, and with the first bit of goodwill and irresistible fate in his heart, he coldly reminded the other party to let Hinata give up the fight.

However, my sister, who has always been weak, did not escape this time, nor did she retreat, knowing that she would fight with him if she was invincible, just to prove that people can change their fate.

In that battle, Ning Ci didn't lose after all, and he even took out all his strength to deal with the eldest lady of the Zong family, his sister, who was supposed to protect.

There are reasons for hatred, and there is also anger from being poked by Hinata.

He won, but he was also shaken by Hinata's change, can people really change their fate?

It wasn't until later, when Orochimaru led the crowd to destroy Konoha and Hinata, who came to support when Ninji and Oni Boy Maru were fighting, that he finally discovered that his fate could indeed be changed.

After that war, Hinata Hyuzo handed him his father's suicide note, and he read it silently, only to find out that his father had voluntarily sacrificed his life to stop the war between the two countries.

The father used his own choice to break free from the fate of the Hyuga family, and he did not sacrifice to protect the clan, but to protect Ninji, his brother, his family, and all the villagers of Konoha and chose to die.

In the pool of water, the struggle on Ning Ci's face disappeared, the white eyes containing pupil power reopened, his eyes became extremely clear and sharp, his feet cut through the water waves, and the whole person quickly drilled down.

"Was it an illusion that attacked people's weaknesses just now, hmph, this kind of trick has long been useless to me!"
