Chapter 22: "The Caged Bird"
Hinata's mansion, a martial arts arena.
Four figures flew between the fields.
The girl's crisp shout came:
"One hundred and twenty-eight palms of gossip!"
"Two palms! Four Palms ......"
The other three figures seemed to be locked.
In desperation, they could only besiege together, trying to break the offensive with attacks.
The girl is prostrate, comfortable and able to deal with three sides at the same time.
"One hundred and twenty-eight palms!"
The three teenagers flew out upside down in unison and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a while.
Bang bang, Hinata Saimen applauded with satisfaction next to him.
During this time, Hinata Mio surprised her and the family too much.
They thought that Hinata Mio would improve rapidly after training with Konoha White Fang, but they didn't expect it to be so fierce.
The descendants of the family below adulthood,No one is Mio's opponent at all.γ
These backward generations who have become middle ninjas, only in groups of three or five can barely resist Mio's offensive!
With descendants like this, why shouldn't the Hyuga clan be strong!
Mio tied the ponytail for practice, saw sweat on his forehead, ran over and looked up and said, "Auntie, can I go out today?" β
Since her aunt hinted at letting her take on more family responsibilities, she arranged for the younger children of the family to practice, nominally for Mio to guide her peers in cultivation.
Mio, as a descendant of the family, has no way to refuse.
She didn't dare to claim to be a mentor, so she doubled her training every day to improve herself, and often fed her peers.
Over the past few days, all the juniors have practiced at least three times.
Thinking that he hadn't seen his companions for a few days, and that he didn't know when he would leave for battle, Mio was already impatient.
Hinata Aimon's biggest headache is that Mio's recognition of his companions seems to be higher than that of the family, and when he heard this, he said, "Mio, you just want to go to war so much? β
Mio thought of the night, lowered her head and twisted the corners of her clothes: "It's not, it's just that everyone goes, if I don't go, what will it look like?" β
Hinata Saimen shook his head: "The battlefield is not child's play, the sword has no eyes, even the shadows of each village may not be able to come back alive." As a future candidate for patriarch, if something goes wrong, what will happen to the family? β
As a Hyuga clan, if you want to go to the battlefield, what kind of system is this?
Desperate things, have their own families to do.
As long as the Zong family presides over the overall situation after the overall situation has been decided.
Mio had heard this truth a few times, and knew that she couldn't defend herself, so she replied: "Auntie, the war is the business of our whole village, and you also said that Shadow can die on the battlefield, and it is understandable that we die on the battlefield, right?" Besides, our group is not weak, I promise to take care of myself! β
Hinata Saimen's smile gradually faded: "Do you know how irresponsible you are for the family?" Is there a little bit of an heir? The strategic value of the white eye, that is the ability to reverse a village's war! β
Mio is not good at arguing, but he knows in his heart that this is the Zong family's fear that someone will take away his eyes after death, but the secret method of self-destruction after death has been developed a lot in the past few decades, at least the wealthy family can definitely develop or win it.
In the final analysis, it's just that the Hyuga family doesn't want to embrace the outside world, and prefers to maintain the status quo in a more ancient and traditional way.
Thinking of her curse mark, she bit her lip and said, "Otherwise, I will wear the caged bird, so that you will not be afraid." β
Hinata Saimen pointed at Mio, his fingers trembling, and he was already angry.
"You are the heir, how can there be an heir who prints the caged bird by himself? It's just a few years later, you can't bear it? β
"That's how you want to see that Uchiha?"
"Why don't you think so much about the hundreds of people in your family?"
"You want a caged bird, don't you? Okay, I'll show you the caged bird! β
Caimen knew that Mio was an orphan as the elder brother of the Zong family, and his mind was outward, only knowing that the caged bird was self-destructing after death, and he didn't know the details. That's why I dare to say such a big rebellious thing.
In that case, she clapped her hands and motioned for the guards to bring someone over.
After a while, Hinata Shizuka, the maid of Hinata Mio's small courtyard, was sent over.
In Hinata's puzzled gaze, Hinata Saimon had already returned to his calm just now, but his face was no longer kind.
Hinata's eyes were cold and cold, and he didn't see any movement.
Kneeling on the ground, Shizuka Hinata, the maid of the family who didn't know about it, suddenly covered her head, and the thin one let out a terrible howl like a beast, and fell to the ground, life is better than death.
Strands of turquoise light bloomed from her forehead, as if to split her skull.
"I, I was wrong......"
"I was wrong......"
Shizuka Hinata, who was rolling on the ground, opened her mouth instinctively, but because of the white foam mixed with blood in her mouth, her speech was slurred.
Hinata Saimen was already ruthless, like a god on top, and said calmly: "Yes, you are wrong. β
She made the seal with one hand.
Hinata Shizune, who rolled to the ground, leaned back, spasmed violently, and stopped abruptly.
Like a taut bowstring breaking, this time it was completely paralyzed.
There was a hideous and painful look on his face, and his eyes completely lost his look.
Hinata Saimen didn't look at it, and pronounced the verdict: "The master is still so naΓ―ve for ten years, you are not wrong, who is wrong?!" β
Hinata Mio stood in place, her outstretched hand frozen in mid-air, shaped like a sculpture.
In a very short period of time, her worldview was violently shaken.
She doesn't understand why Shizuka, who grew up together, is a capital offense.
I don't understand why my aunt can be so ruthless.
I don't understand why the difference in identity between the same Hyuga family is comparable to that of a master and a slave at this moment.
Shizuka is not a clansman of unknown generations, her mother was once a clan!
The cold wind of autumn blows.
It was clear that the training ground where they were in harmony and friendship just now, but now Mio feels as cold as hell.
The family image in her memory collapsed in an instant.
'Do they just want me to be the future patriarch of such a family?' β
'Are they what I will be in the future?' β
'Where's Shizuka?' If I become the patriarch, will she become a ghost and cry out for injustice? Even more pathetic, become a ghost...... Come and celebrate me? β
The chaotic emotions make Mio's brain almost shut down.
I heard Hinata Saimen change his relatively calm tone: "You still have the heart to go to the battlefield." In addition, I will tell you that two days ago, the last team had already departed. β
'The last team...... Yuye and Qi Yue, are they already gone? β
'They didn't come to me, no, it was them, they did it on purpose! β
Thinking of the two familiar faces, Mio barely managed to get her thoughts back.
When I looked up again, I saw my aunt's indifferent back.
What I heard was my aunt's unobtrusive order: "Come on, send Mio back to the hospital." In the future, without my orders, she will not be allowed to come and go at will! When did she figure it out and be sensible, let's talk about other things! β
β¦β¦
It's been a long time since Hinata Saimon left.
In autumn, it rains after a cold wind.
Mio was like a standing corpse, and it took a long time to come back to her senses.
In front of him was Shizuka Hinata's corpse, whose skin was already pale and his eyes were hollow looking at the sky outside the courtyard.
Mio's cuffs wipe her face and wipe away the rain.
Leaned down to pick up Shizuka, but the corpse's hollow eyes stinged.
Mio instinctively wanted to change her back, but she still picked up the corpse and walked back according to her original thoughts.
The dead are terrible, but the living are not terrible?
Back in the courtyard, Mio buried Shizuka's body on the lawn near the entrance.
That's where Shizuka likes to stay on weekdays.
Mio rarely stopped practicing and looked at the rainy sky outside the courtyard.
I don't know how long later, there was movement outside the courtyard.
It was someone who went through layers of interrogation and entered the courtyard.
Hinata Hinata came in with an indifferent face, holding an umbrella and not entering his cousin's roof.
He sneered, "I don't understand, why can you say such a thing as a caged bird lightly, you are a noble clan." β
Mio still looked at the square sky on the courtyard: "Is there a difference?" Am I not also a caged bird? β
Hiza's hand holding the umbrella was pinched purple: "No, you're just under house arrest!" You don't even know what a caged bird is! β
During the time that the caged bird was engraved, the day difference had already gone through the pain of being spelled many times.
Now that he has nothing to worry about, he even began to deliberately stab the Zong family with words.
I thought to myself, just die like this.
At least after death... It's free.
However, Mio was not as angry as the other sects, but laughed at herself, "Yes, I know now. β
Hinata looked stunned and looked at it.
Only then did I find that next to my cousin's entrance, there was an abrupt new grave.
Her hands were stained with mud and blood.
Hiza opened his mouth, and swallowed back the stinging words with a soft heart.
He walked briskly under the eaves, threw down a letter, and walked away quickly.
"Someone brought it in the day before yesterday and was stopped."
"That letter called Uchiha Miya."
