The next morning, in the spacious living room of the Hyuga family, twelve elders of the Hyuga family were sitting neatly on the futons on both sides, although the ages were different, some were old and some were middle-aged, but the straight sitting posture, the white eyes and kimonos were exactly the same, one by one, the eyes and mouths were motionless, like clay sculptures, indescribably solemn.

The wooden floors glistened in the sunlight, so clean that they could almost reflect the shadows of people, and the birds and finches were chirping incessantly outside, making people feel annoying, but none of this affected the meditation of the clan elders, who had been able to maintain this appearance under any circumstances after years of recuperation.

After a long time, I saw an old man sitting on the side of the upper hand make a sound, he coughed lightly, and brought out a tray containing a turquoise porcelain vase and a brush from behind, and after opening the porcelain vase and inspecting it, he smiled with satisfaction, and then said to Hinata Hinata who was sitting on the main seat of the main hall: "It's time, Hinata Hinata is up, it's time to start!" ”

Hinata Hinata still maintained the appearance of the wood carving, nodded expressionlessly when he heard this, and then clapped his hands and shouted outside: "Come on, call Hinata in!" ”

Then I heard the sound of footsteps outside the house, and after a while, I saw a girl in a gorgeous kimono with her eyes closed appearing at the door, and the beautiful figure made the sunlight dim a lot at this moment.

"Father, you called me?"

With a hint of charm in her delicate face, Hinata came to the center of the living room, leaned down and saluted, and then asked her father with a smile on her face.

Although her eyes were always closed, she was surprisingly able to distinguish the direction very clearly, and her face was always facing the sun, and there was no incongruity in her movements.

Hizazu's brows furrowed slightly, looking at his daughter sitting down, but for some reason a feeling of strangeness rose in his heart.

The appearance is still the same.,Manners、There is no change in etiquette.,Except that the eyes have been closed for some reason.,Hinata is almost exactly the same as usual.,But the day is right.,It seems that ,—— hasn't seen her all night.,Her daughter has become more feminine.,That delicate face is shiny.,The skin is so tender that it's almost dripping water.,It seems to have grown up a lot overnight.,Completely faded the girl's youth.,It's so charming that people are intoxicated.,And others may not notice., But Hizoku, a father, can feel that compared to the cautious attitude in the past, Hinata seems to be more calm and confident at this time, and that dignified and decent demeanor no longer gives people a stereotypical feeling, but as if it was born like this.

"Hinata, you-"

Hizuzu opened his mouth slightly, wanting to ask, but an elder sitting on his right hand side spoke, "Presumptuous! Hinata, didn't your father teach you proper manners? In front of a room full of elders, you dare to close your eyes, do you want to take the opportunity to express your dissatisfaction with the fact that the elders will demote you to a separate family? ”

Although he looked quite old, the elder's temper was very hot, and he faintly blamed Rizu's education in his words, which made the latter's eyebrows raised.

In the past, in the face of such a reprimand, Hinata had long apologized and admitted his mistake with trepidation, but now it is different.

I saw Hinata smile slightly, tilted her head, and then pretended to be playful and said: "No, no, no, Elder Hino, Hinata is not dissatisfied, after all, for an impossible thing, there is no point in expressing dissatisfaction, isn't it?!" ”

Although it was a questioning tone, as soon as this sentence fell, the whole living room was silent for a while.

If Hinata's accusation just now was just an innocuous complaint, then Hinata's current sentence is a declaration of rebellion.

Almost at the same time, the eyes of the twelve patriarchs widened in unison, and the momentum on their bodies, strong and weak, squeezed towards Hinata together, as if they wanted to crush the latter directly.

The elder who had been inspecting the caged bird carving tool narrowed his eyes even more, his gaze sweeping across Hinata's face like a knife.

"Hinata, can I interpret your words as disobeying the decisions made by the entire family and our twelve elders? It's really presumptuous! ——”

Glancing lightly at Hizo, who was sitting on the side of his upper hand, the elder added, "Or maybe you got a guarantee from some unknown guy that you dared to brazenly challenge the authority of the family?" ”

As the oldest elder of the Hyuga family, Hyuga Zongyuan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but Hinata's abnormal performance made him feel a smell of conspiracy, was Inuzuka a shot, or was the patriarch who loved his daughter, and what did he do in secret? The two possibilities are constantly weighed in his heart, but Zong Yuan plans to decide what to do next after Hinata answers, if it is good for Hinata to do it, the twelve elders are united, it is definitely enough to forcibly suppress each other, I am afraid that Inuzuka Tooth suddenly changed his attention and wanted to pull Hinata, then it would be troublesome.

The entire family had been subdued by the young Mo Wen, and Hinata Sogen was very aware of the other party's terribleness.

But to Zong Yuan's surprise, in the face of his own temptation, Hinata shook his head and smiled indifferently.

"I didn't get any assurances from anyone, I just didn't want to be divided, I didn't want to be carved into a caged bird, and I didn't want to be controlled by people!"

The flat tone, Hinata's indifferent appearance as if she wanted to discuss what to eat at noon with a friend she knew, natural and assertive, as if what she said was a matter of course.

"Presumptuous!"

But listening to these words, Hinata's head was about to be blown up, and he thought that the other party had something to rely on, but he didn't expect it to be just a little girl who was unwilling to fight.

"Hizu, this is the good daughter you taught!"

Glaring at Rizu, who was also blue-faced, he glanced at Rizu with dissatisfaction, and Zong Yuan waved his hand at the two elders sitting at the end, "Riji, Riyun, what are you still doing in a daze, don't take down this evil obstacle for me, and when I plant a caged bird for her, I want to see if her mouth will be so hard!" ”

Although he is also an elder of the Zong family, there is still a difference in power, and an elder like Zong Yuan, who presides over the cage bird ceremony, is inherently more powerful than ordinary elders, plus his own generation and age, it is not an exaggeration to be called a great elder.

Now that the Great Elder has a life, the two elders shrugged helplessly, and at the same time opened their eyes, ready to take Hinata.

However, at this moment, Hinata suddenly laughed.

In the midst of that soft and pleasant laughter, she slowly opened her eyes, which had been closed.

Under the eyes, it is not the eyes of the Hyuga family that are so white that they are almost transparent, but a pair of beautiful eyes that are as clear as sapphires, mysterious and deep like the vast sea that attracts everyone who watches.

"If I say I don't want to, I don't want to, no one can force me, even the elders!"

The blue eyes swept over the elders one by one, and Hinata said one by one.
