Chapter 173: The Caged Bird, Soaring with Wings
Orochimaru coldly gouged out a pair of eyeballs from the eye socket of the human puppet made of children in his hand and placed them in the palm of his hand.
He looked at Hinata Hinata and asked:
"As the person with the most right to speak in the room, take a closer look at these eyes, are they a little familiar?"
Hinata approached and observed the pair of eyeballs, and after observing them for a moment, wisps of cold sweat flowed from his forehead.
He raised his head, and said in a trembling voice:
"This ...... This is a badly degraded white eye?! β
Orochimaru nodded.
The door on the side had already walked up to the adult puppets with a clumsy body, and they also gouged out a pair of eyes and took them.
Hinata also looked at it carefully, shook his head and said:
"It's not a white eye."
Orochimaru took an eyeball from the hand of the doorman, looked at it, and said with a smile:
"It's certainly not a white eye, it's not even an eyeball.
If I'm not mistaken, these puppets who just attacked us.
It is recorded in the cave where the earth and the moon are connected before, and the people who died during the war between the clan and the branch of the Otsuki clan! β
Orochimaru's inference made several people feel a lot of creeps, these ......
Whether it is a clan or a split family, even if they were enemies before their deaths, after all, they are all clansmen of the same origin!
Didn't even spare their corpses?
What a ruthless person can do.
"And that's not all!
If those are the corpses of the people of the Otsumu clan who died in the previous battle, then these ......"
He looked at the remains of the adult puppets not far away, and then turned his gaze to the human puppets made of young children at his feet.
At this time, Orochimaru had already gouged out the eyes of more than a dozen young children and puppets around him.
The gray and slightly cloudy eyeballs in his hands seem to tell the story of a fresh life being strangled in the cradle......
These are the consequences of intermarriage within the clan for thousands of years.
Hizashi, you said before that in the past few hundred years, the Otsuki clan has asked your Hyuga clan to continuously send pure-blooded clan girls to the moon.
Presumably, the clansmen of the Otsumu clan have discovered the evil consequences of the so-called intermarriage within the clan. β
Speaking of this, he looked at Hinata and continued to ask:
"Even if you Hyuga clan claim to be a pure-blooded clan.
The matriarch can't all be pure-blooded Hyuga women, right?
After all, there is only one heir to each generation of the clan, unless ......"
Speaking of this, a playful smile appeared on his face.
"You can really go so far as to make sure you're pureblood."
"Of course not!"
Seeing that Orochimaru's words were getting bigger and bigger, Hinata retorted decisively.
"My mother came from a separate family.
It's just that there are also requirements for the wife of each heir of the clan.
It can't be more than three generations of sub-family members. β
Orochimaru continued to ask:
"So as far as I know, your divided clan can intermarry with foreigners, right?"
As the current successor of the split family, Hinata is naturally familiar with the family rules of the Hyuga family.
He nodded and said:
"It is true that many of the clansmen who had been separated generations ago would not have control over their marriages.
However, if the offspring of their intermarriage with a foreigner do not have the blood inheritance of the awakened white eye, then their descendants will not be entitled to inherit the surname Hinata. β
Orochimaru seemed to get a satisfactory answer, and he continued to explain with a smile:
"Look, the Hyuga family, who have always been old-fashioned and conservative, still know how to be flexible.
And you, distant relatives on the moon, have been foolishly maintaining the foolish practice of intermarriage for thousands of years in order to ensure the purity of your bloodline......"
The second master on the side also nodded approvingly at this time.
"As far as I know, the Senjutsu, the Uzumaki, and even the Uchiha, we ninjas do not restrict the intermarriage between our clansmen and foreigners.
Because blood inheritance is important, but not intermarrying with foreign races all year round will only cause a large number of deformed offspring to be produced within the clan! β
Speaking of which, he glanced at Obito and continued:
"I went back to Konoha before, and according to the investigation of the third and fourth generations, this little imp who awakened the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye, his mother does not seem to be a member of the Uchiha clan.
So the so-called pure-blood theory is really unconvincing to some extent. β
Orochimaru shook his head and retorted:
"Writing wheels are different from white eyes, Lord Masama.
After all, the Uchiha clan does not have a caged bird.
Right, day difference?
When engraved into a caged bird, the optic nerve of the white eye is irreversibly damaged.
I'm afraid that this will be passed on to the next generation, right? β
When Hiza heard Orochimaru's words, he shook his head with a wry smile and said:
Not exactly.
For example, I, as the second son of the previous generation of clans, have been irreversibly damaged to my eyes since I was a child.
However, my child Ningji, according to my observations, has the same eyes as mine and is not genetically affected. β
Hisashi's words made Orochimaru frown.
"In that case, isn't the so-called pure-blooded white eyes a joke?"
At this time, Hinata recalled the truth that Otsuki Hamura had revealed to him just now in the illusion.
"The so-called clan and the division of the clan are actually two speculations about how the white eye evolved into the reincarnated eye before I died.
It's just that later generations misinterpreted what I meant, and the clan considered itself orthodox and thought that the clan should be their guardian.
And the splitters also think that the caged birds are a cage that limits their talents.
You guys...... Whether it is the descendants who thrive on the moon or the branches left behind on the earth, has no one really discovered the true meaning of the caged bird for thousands of years? β

In the temple of feathers, the old man of the Otsuki clan finally stood up.
The puppet who had been guarding him bowed down and brought him a wooden tray with a bottle filled with liquid.
The old man took out the pair of white eyes from the bottle that had just been taken from Hinata Hinata on the ground not long ago.
"I finally ...... I can get rid of the fate of being slaves for generations!
The Eye of Reincarnation, the Eye of Reincarnation......"
He whispered frantically at a rapid pace, his other hand clasping two fingers into his eyes.
"Ahh
Even if he was crazy enough to pluck his eyes with his own hands without fear, the pain still made him howl.
But the next moment, he had transplanted the whites of the pure-blooded eyes of Higazu into his own eye sockets.
His eyes were closed, and two streams of blood ran down the corners of his eyes like tears.
There was a maniac, contented smile on his face, like a fanatical martyr.
"Ancestor of Hamura, you probably didn't expect it, did you?
The reincarnation eye of the Otsuki clan!
Didn't awaken in the sect family you had high hopes for!
But in the end, it reappeared in a person like me!
I thought I would let my children sacrifice others to accomplish this great mission!
β¦β¦
But those descendants of the Six Dao Immortals on the ground!
They don't give me this time......
It's okay, I've awakened these eyes. β
As his words faded from madness to indifference, he opened his eyes again.
The chakra of the large barrel wood clan in his body gradually converged into the pair of white eyes, and his old cheeks bulged with hideous veins like those of the Hyuga clan.
Those white eyes gradually revealed a bright light.
"These people will not sacrifice in vain, and the sacrifice will not be sacrificed in vain!
I'll bring him, a pair of better eyes! β

"According to your speculation, the descendants of the Otsumu clan have actually degraded their genes because of thousands of years of intermarriage?"
Several people ran quickly inside this quaint and gorgeous Gothic-style building, and asked Orochimaru on the way.
Orochimaru nodded and replied:
"You can feel the eyes of those young children and puppets.
That can't be called a white eye!
In the battle we had just had with them, we had not seen any signs of them using the White Eye Pupil technique.
According to my guess, this could only be a serious consequence of their intermarriage.
How ironic!
The blood of the Otsuki clan......
The awakening of the blood inheritance limit will lead to serious blood succession disease, and in order to ensure the purity of the bloodline and not intermarry with others, it will cause genetic degradation and gradually lose the blood inheritance limit. β
The thousand hands who were running wildly suddenly pointed in a direction and said to everyone:
"There, there's a weak chakra reaction."
The crowd followed behind him and ran in the direction he pointed.
Along the way, there were several puppets who rushed towards everyone like a car, all of them were held by the hands between the doors, and it seemed that they were not ready to return to Lin for the time being, and the shark muscles were cut in two.
"Bang!"
A few people opened the door to a room with dolls and toys on the floor and chairs and sofas.
A small figure hid in the corner, quietly alone in a daze.
"Father...... Where are you?
Sheren can't see anything, Sheren is so scared......"
The pale-skinned barnman sat against the wall with his knees folded.
Not long ago, a few "servants" who were usually respectful to him and couldn't speak suddenly took control of his body, and then ......
There was a sharp pain in his eyes, the kind of thing called chakra that his father had taught him to refine a few years ago......
In the midst of the intense pain, he was sucked away along his eyes.
By the time he came to his senses again, everything in front of him had become blurry and drowsy, and the clear picture in his eyes in the past was only a slight reaction of light and shadow.
She seemed to find that his room had been invaded by outsiders, and he was at a loss to do something, but now he couldn't even make out the direction......
Lin was the first to step out of the crowd and came to the side of the child, who was obviously less than ten years old.
"Don't be afraid, let my sister come and see your eyes, okay?"
"Lynn! Watch out! β
Lin turned her head and smiled at Obito, but said firmly:
"The enemy of our trip can't be such a child, right?
Don't worry, I'm just checking his eyes. β
She came to the frightened little beast-like man, bent down, and said softly:
"Don't worry, we won't hurt you."
A few minutes later, Lin took out a tube of eye drops from the medical ninja bag she was carrying with her and gently dripped it into her eyes.
She touched the silver hair of the child in front of her and said:
"Go to bed and sleep for a while, you have to rest more now."
"Sister, my eyes ......
Can you still see things? β
The smile on Lynn's face froze, and after a few seconds she squeezed out a smile again, comforting:
"Yes, as long as you listen to your sister, when you wake up, you will."
β¦β¦
When she finally coaxed her back to sleep on his little bed, Lynn's face was no longer filled with the smile of tenderness and pity.
She suppressed her anger and bit her lower lip back to the crowd.
"This child's eyes......
It seems to have been forcibly destroyed!
The meridians in the eyes seem to have been damaged due to the transmission of excessive chakra!
This is just the beginning, and the child's eyes will soon deteriorate and eventually become blind.
It's like ......"
Orochimaru stretched out a hand, and in the palm of his hand was the human puppet eyeball that he had just taken out.
"It's like these eyes, right?"
The day difference on the side was also angry, and he spoke:
"The chakra of the Otsuki clan is matched with the pure-blooded white eyes of the Hyuga clan......
So that's it!
Is he so mad that he is so mad?! β
He nodded and said in a concluding remarks:
"According to the previous inference, the descendants of the Otsumu clan are now due to intermarriage within the clan, and their blood and white eyes have degraded very seriously.
But after thousands of years of exploration, they seem to have mastered the other pupil techniques of the white eye, which are not only for observation and detection.
Whether it is the development of the space-time ninjutsu enchantment, or the remote control of the puppet, in essence, it is all the transmission of chakra.
Therefore, now they can naturally open the chakra of the eyes after opening the white eyes......
By plundering, the chakra of the eyes unique to the Otsuki clan is gathered into a person's body, so that he can successfully open the white eyes, right? β
Hizashi nodded in the face of the inquiry, and continued:
"You're right......
According to the ancestors, this method was originally a kind of speculation and experiment before his death.
This method requires the continuous accumulation of chakras in the natural eyes of the Otsuki clan.
His original intention was to have the heirs of the clan pass on their pupil power, which is the eye chakra in your mouth, to the next generation before they died, so that after many years, a new reincarnated eye might be born......
However, they misinterpreted the last words of the Feather Cloak Ancestor, and dug out the pure-blooded white eyes of the previous generations after their deaths and fused them into the reincarnated eye left by the Feather Cloak Ancestor, making it more and more powerful in the precipitation of the years. β
Looking at the day difference, he nodded and asked:
"So what is the other way you say you can open the eye of rebirth?
Can you tell us about that? β
Hinata Hinata suddenly smiled, and his smile was filled with firmness and peace.
He stretched out his hands and slowly untied the bandage that had been covering his forehead.
A yellowish bandage left his forehead, revealing the spell he had always regarded as a disgrace and shackle.
"Caged Bird......
It turns out that for thousands of years, we have misunderstood the intentions of our ancestors.
We all thought that this was to prevent the white eyes from leaking out and maintain the cruel system of the Hyuga clan's blood. β
Hisashi slowly walked to the window of this room, and outside the window was a sea of clouds like a fairyland.
In the depths of the sea of clouds, the Yucun Temple still exudes its dazzling light, like a light in the sea of lost suffering.
Hinata looked in that direction with wide eyes, and said slowly:
"Caged Bird......
After going through the test of pain and depression!
will know what gives us the courage to break through the cage!
Only on this day will we be truly free to spread our wings and soar! β
As he spoke, the green spell on his forehead was surrounded by the vicious meridians around his eyes when he opened them.
In the center of the two green charms of the caged bird, an eyeball-like bulge bulged and trembled slightly.
