4. The road to the clouds

The door to the chamber opened, and light poured into the dark, dimly lit room.

The smell of wood fills the air, and the real thing that catches your eye is the rows of wooden boxes neatly displayed on the shelves.

Each of these wooden boxes is delicately shaped with a red string tied to it, and at the other end of the red string is a label with a person's name written on it.

It was evident that there were few people here, and a thin layer of dust had accumulated on the shelves.

These are the white eyes that the Hyuga clan has accumulated for generations.

Hinata Hinata stepped forward slowly, walked to the front of a row of shelves, selected one of the many wooden boxes, carefully looked at the name tag on it, and handed it to the real one.

Maji took it and looked at it, and the name tag read the words "Shinsuke Hinata".

"Shinsuke Hinata, who made great achievements in the Second Ninja World War, and his white eyes have helped us win many victories on the battlefield of the Land of Wind, but unfortunately he was wounded by the enemy's puppeteer in one battle, and was poisoned, and when he was sent back to the village, he was poisoned into the bone marrow, and even Tsunade-sama was unable to return to the sky." Hinata Hinata tells the story and ending of this Hyuga family senior.

When he opened the wooden box, it was a glass container filled with a transparent liquid, and a seal was attached to the bottle, and a pair of white eyeballs floated in it.

These eyes were pale and hollow, not a little angry, and after staring at them for a long time, I felt a burst of hair in my heart.

Hinata Hinatashi handed over another wooden box at this time, and really put the box in his hand back in its place.

The name plate of this box reads "Hinata Hideya".

"Hinata Hideya, who was also an extremely good ninja in the clan, was the bodyguard of the three generations of Lord Me, and participated in many battles with Lord Hokage, and was left with a body of injuries, and died of illness four years ago, and Lord Hokage personally came to mourn at the funeral." The day difference continues to tell the story of the owner of this eye, like a few treasures.

"These two pairs of eyes are suitable for you, and you will be notified after the clan and the hospital have negotiated and confirmed, don't forget to go to the memorial monument to pay respects to them when the time comes."

Zhen Wenyan nodded in response: "Wrote it down." ”

Hiza said again: "If your deeds on the front line are known by the spirits of these two seniors in the sky, I will be very pleased to be able to entrust my eyes to you." ”

It is really said, "It is my honor to inherit the eyes of my predecessors." ”

Hiza seemed to be satisfied with this, and said, "The white eyes stored here, their owners were once the pillars of the village and the family, and I hope you will not live up to their legacy in the future." ”

True eyes swept over the entire dimly lit secret room and asked, "Will the white eyes of Hizasa-sama be placed here in the future?" ”

Hiza's expression paused slightly, and he said calmly: "It depends on whether I die on the battlefield or at home." ”

If a family member dies on the battlefield, the eyes will be destroyed by the caged bird curse mark, and the eyes can only be removed if they die at home.

The white eyes displayed here were all taken down by the hands of the Zong family.

Their story may sound very heroic, but I really don't have much respect for it in my heart, just feel pathetic.

It is ironic that these characters, who had died for Konoha's great achievements, had their eyes gouged out by their clansmen before they died, and put them in a box that might never see the light of day.

In this secret room, in addition to the shelves for displaying wooden boxes, there is a table in the innermost part, on which there are less than ten wooden boxes.

"Those are the eyes of the Zong family." Hinata seemed to notice the real gaze and said.

No wonder it's so special, with those wooden boxes on the shelves, like a monarch ruling over his subjects.

Zhen said secretly in his heart, and after examining it for a moment, he suddenly asked Hizaji: "Lord Hiza, are the eyes of the Zong family any different from our family?" ”

His question was met with silence, Hinata Hinata didn't answer him immediately, and he was also staring at the wooden boxes on the table.

Even if it becomes an ownerless thing, the clan will be above the divided family.

"The white eyes in this room are no different if they are not on people." Hinata said calmly.

What makes them different is the Caged Bird Curse Mark, and the ability of the person who has been enchanted to have white eyes will be limited, which is also one of the means for the Zong family to prevent the separation of the family from being stronger than themselves.

Coming out of the dimly lit chamber, the sunlight outside became a little harsh.

Really squinted his eyes and followed Hinata to his side, and there was a Hyuga clan member waiting here at the door, and when he saw the two of them coming out, he took the initiative to greet Hinatasa.

"Hinata-sama."

I really remember this person, a shinobi in the clan, but I didn't expect him to be the one in charge of this secret room.

"If there are no accidents, the surgery will start in about a week, and you don't have to worry about anything or think about it during this time."

After leaving the secret room, Hiza said to Shin, "If you are always cranky, your emotions will affect the people around you who care about you." ”

These words were pointing at him, and he could naturally hear it, and he immediately said: "I understand that Lord Hisashi, today's matter is troublesome to you." ”

Hinata said: "It's okay, it's not an excessive request, outsiders can't enter the room, so naturally there are not so many restrictions on our own family." ”

"In addition, the information you brought back from the front line is of great significance to our village, and Hokage-sama has specially rewarded you, and Hinado-sama will take you to meet Hokage-sama after the operation."

"That's not my fault."

"I understand, Hokage-sama also understands, the sacrificed companion is a hero, and the living companion is more precious, this is what Hokage-sama said, you keep it in mind."

"Got it."

This is said very levelly, if you really heard it before, it is estimated that your heart will be moved to death.

The Third Shinobi War is still going on, and the success of the Kannabi Bridge operation has caused problems for the Iwa Ninja Logistics Supplement, shattering their desire to fight Konoha in depth, and also bringing a respite to Konoha who has been exhausted from the continuous wars.

But it's just a respite, Konoha is already stretched thin at the moment, the battlefields on all sides are overwhelmed, and the financial collapse depends on the support of the state.

So every victory counts, and every defeat is brutal.

This is also the reason why Bo Feng Shuimen's reputation in Konoha is now overpowering Sannin, he is the hero who saved Konoha, and led the village to victory again and again in such a difficult situation in the village, like seeing the sun through the clouds.

Konoha needs such heroes nowadays, too.

After Hinata left, he stood still and looked through the courtyard and into the closed secret room.

It's a pity that a hero like Watergate can save the village, but he can't save himself.

I really need to find another way out, find a path that no one has trodden.
