Chapter 139: Ning Ci, you come to carve a caged bird for Hinata, don't let the family down!
Chapter 140: Ning Ci, you come to carve a caged bird for Hinata, don't let the family down!
Hinata Ningji's mind was very confused now, and he was still digesting the words that Shiro had said to him. Because the amount of information contained in the words is too great.
Hinata, the eldest lady of the clan, actually joined the Whitebeard Pirates?
And recognized that Whitebeard as his father?
This...... How can it be?
Ning Ci's first reaction was to doubt the truth of these words.
Because in his impression, judging from the style of the Hyuga clan, they would never allow this kind of thing to happen.
Especially the head of the Hyuga clan, Hinata Hyuzu, and those old pedantic elders...... How could they possibly let Hinata join the Whitebeard Pirates?
Ning Ci looked at Bai in front of him, but found that the expression on Bai's face was not half false, at least he couldn't see any falsehood.
If this person named Bai did not lie in front of himself......
No, Ning Ci still feels unlikely.
Even if the sun comes out in the west, even if the head of the Hyuga clan and the elders of the Hyuga clan, everyone has taken the wrong medicine.
But it can't change Hinata's weak and cowardly character.
That kind of person is only suitable for being the fertility tool of the sect family.
Because, this is the fate of the so-called eldest lady of the Hyuga family.
Such a Hinata would dare to do such a thing?
"......" But Ning Ci didn't know how to question Bai.
Because he was looking at the backs of Hinata and the others.
Hinata followed Naruto and Pho away, which showed that she did have an inexplicable special relationship with those people.
"This is Hinata's struggle against 'fate.'" Bai smiled and said, "Even people like her who have a good life are unwilling to succumb to the 'fate' that others have written for her. โ
"I don't know much about Hinata, but I know that Hinata isn't a brave character. However, when this kind of thing happens, she will burst out with a special kind of courage. โ
"Hinata will use her faint 'courage' to fight against a fate she doesn't like. Instead of staying in a cage and feeling sorry for yourself alone. โ
"Birds that fly freely and high have moments that yearn to fly higher; The birds in the cage also yearn to fly out of the cage one day. โ
When Bai said this, he already clearly meant something, which also made Ning Ci's expression change a little.
Hinata ...... Fighting against fate......
Ning Ci clenched his two fists tightly, bad memories came to his heart, and he gritted his teeth: "She is already the eldest lady of the Hyuga family, and our family is here to protect her." For this protection, the family even had to pay for their own lives. โ
"She has such favorable conditions, she is destined to be a successful person by nature, and she is also destined to be the heir of the Hyuga clan." Ning Ci's mood had become a little out of shape: "What is the need for her to fight against her enviable fate?" โ
"Father, he...... Father he...... Before I was alive, I dreamed that I would become the heir of the clan. โ
This is something that Ning Ci doesn't understand, and it's also where he has some defenses, and in the final analysis, he is a little yearning for Hinata after all.
This yearning does not mean that he is interested in Hinata.
Simply because Ning Ci yearns for the position of "Zongjia".
His father, Hinata Hinata Hinata always said to him before his death-"You with this talent are the best heirs of the Hyuga family, but it's a pity...... Alas! โ
This kind of remark made Ning Ci hate the Zong family at the same time, but also had a very strange longing for the Zong family.
Hate the clan for treating his father like this.
I hated myself for not being a member of the clan.
This is Ning Ci's tangled heart. I don't know if he will be like this in his heart in the future, but he is like this now.
The position of "heir of the clan" that he and his deceased father couldn't ask for, and the five words "heir of the clan" are actually a fate that needs to be fought against in Hinata's eyes?
At the same time as Ning Ci broke the defense......
I'm a little lost again.
"Interested in talking to me about your father?" If Bai said this to Hinata Ningji in the morning, it would definitely be a step into Ningci's minefield, and then the two sides might fight.
But after a day of acquaintance, and Bai took the initiative to tell what happened to him.
The sentence he was asking was no longer a minefield.
At least Ning Ci didn't feel offended.
It shows that compared with Naruto's mouth, one is more tactful, and the other is more direct.
Each is different.
Each has its own advantages.
"My father ......" Ning Ci took a deep breath, he knew that he had lost his temper, he tried to calm himself down, with a bit of reminiscence in his eyes: "My father...... The current head of the clan is twin brothers. Both of them are geniuses of the previous generation of the Hyuga family. โ
Ning Ci's relatively closed heart was forced to be attacked by Bai with words, and a small hole was chiseled.
Even Ning Ci didn't know, why did he say so many unnecessary things in front of a person who had just known him for a day?
But the words that I held back in my heart ......
It's even harder if you don't speak up.
Moreover......
It's no secret either.
Say it and say it.
"Hinata, Hinata, Hinata...... As twin brothers, they even have similar names. But because of my father, Hinata, he was born 15 minutes later than the current head of the Hyuga family. โ
"So, Hinata Hinata became the clan of the Hyuga clan and my father...... It became a branch of the Hyuga family, and at the age of three, his forehead was engraved with the curse mark of the caged bird. โ
"From then on, my father's fate was sealed, and he had to use his life to protect the clan and his brother, who is now the head of the Hyuga clan."
In fact, my father did exactly that. He exchanged his life for the life of the head of the family. โ
When he said this, Hinata Ningci's heart was all fake.
Because it was only four years ago.
In just four years, everything seemed like a single day apart.
Memories of four years ago echoed in my mind.
Everything in those pictures is so clear.
For Ning Ci, there is no ambiguity.
"Presumably...... Something that shouldn't have happened at that time, right? Bai tilted his head, and he moved to the left side of Ning Ci to shield Ning Ci from the sunset on the left.
"What shouldn't have happened? This sentence is very correct. This kind of thing really shouldn't have happened to my father. โ
Ning Ci, who was obscured by the white shadow, continued in a deep voice: "Four years ago, something happened in Konoha - an envoy from Yunyin Village came to Konoha to discuss peace talks with Konoha. However, no one expected that the messenger had another purpose. โ
He ...... that night. Infiltrated our Hyuga clan and wanted to kidnap the eldest lady of the Hyuga clan, that is, Hinata. But he didn't succeed because the head of the house arrived in time. โ
"And there was a little accident at that time, the messenger of Yunyin Village died at the hands of the head of our Hyuga clan."
"Who would have thought that Yunyin Village, which was the first to make a mistake, would actually take this opportunity to attack Konoha and reprimand Konoha for violating the agreement and making many unreasonable demands. One of the requirements is that Yunyin Village wants the corpse of Hinata, the head of the clan! โ
When Bai heard this, a pair of beautiful eyebrows also frowned slightly.
"Konoha, you shouldn't have agreed to such an unreasonable request, right?"
Bai thinks that no matter how unbearable a ninja village is, it won't be like this, right? What's more, Konoha Village is one of the five major ninja villages.
Though...... Yunyin Village on the opposite side is also one of the five great ninja villages, but there is no border between the two great ninja villages.
If the other party wants to start a war, they have to travel thousands of miles to the land of fire, and they will have to spend a lot of military resources in the process, right?
In this case......
Is it necessary to compromise such unreasonable demands?
"Yes, Konoha has always 'valued peace' and agreed." Ning Ci nodded, and said the four-year scar in his heart: "For the responsibility and obligation of separating the family, it was not the head of the Hyuga clan who died at that time, but my father Hinata Hinata Hiza. โ
"Because the two of them are twin brothers and look very similar. My father became a stand-in for the Hyuga clan, and eventually, he embarked on the path of death......"
"Sad, isn't it?"
Ning Ci's eyes were a little red, and he couldn't bear the sadness in his heart: "Obviously they are twin brothers, but because my father was born 15 minutes late, he became a family that had to pay for his life." โ
"This is the fate of the Hyuga clan. No matter how hard the Hyuga family tried, they could only give their lives for the Hyuga family. โ
"No matter how cowardly the Hyuga clan is, they can enjoy this kind of sacrificing protection, and they can even have the inheritance of the Hyuga clan."
I will hold it in my heart and say all the scars that have accumulated for four years.
Ning Ci had a feeling that the boulder in his heart had been removed.
But the hatred for the clan did not dissipate.
"I see...... Bai nodded: "It's really something that shouldn't have happened in the first place." โ
"A bird that is already free may really have the desire to fly high; The birds in the cage may really have the idea of escaping. "Ning Ci is the first time to have a heart-to-heart with someone, and he doesn't feel disgusted by this kind of heart-to-heart when he talks about it, and he even thinks it's pretty good.
Maybe the person in front of him named Bai didn't disgust him.
I wonder if the other party is polite enough?
Or is the other party good-looking?
Ning Ci muttered to himself, "But no matter what kind of bird it is, it can't easily escape the shackles of fate. They naively thought that they had escaped, but in the blink of an eye they found that they were still in the game, and the so-called escape was also part of the 'fate' arrangement. โ
"From the moment of birth, a person's life will be burdened with a fate that cannot be resisted. Maybe there are really people in this world who can escape their fate, but I don't know how many billions of people in the ninja world can give birth to one or two such special people? โ
Before the change, Ning Ci would not even say "one or two special people".
The fact that he was able to say this showed that his thoughts were still affected by what Bai had said before.
Even if it's just a little bit affected.
It can be regarded as giving him a different view of "fate".
At this time, Bai finally understood why Ning Ji had so much malice towards Hinata, it turned out that such a thing had happened.
It seems that his initial guess was not wrong.
Ning Ji's increased hatred and malice towards the Hyuga clan was because he was contaminated with a human life.
Moreover, it was his father's life!
โฆโฆ
The conversation between Bai and Hinata Ninji is limited to this.
Because Ningji has already returned to the Hyuga clan station.
Ning Ci, who returned to the residence of the Hyuga clan alone, was just about to walk back to his home, but suddenly heard faint footsteps behind him.
When he quickly looked back, he saw that behind him was a ninja from the Hyuga clan.
"You are?" Hinata Ninji is not very familiar with this person.
There were hundreds of people in the entire Hyuga clan, large and small, old and young, and it was impossible for him to be familiar with everyone.
A ninja of the Hyuga clan who suddenly appeared behind his mountain.
Looks like a middle-aged man.
The appearance is actually somewhat similar to Hinata's Hinata Hinata and Hinata's Hinata.
After all, the Hyuga clan rarely intermarried with foreigners.
The bloodlines of each clan are very similar.
"Hinata Ninji...... When I saw Ling and the little imp named 'White' from the Whitebeard Pirates, it seemed familiar. โ
The ninja of the Hyuga clan clasped his hands in front of his chest and said expressionlessly, "You two have been talking for a long time, and you have been talking for more than half an hour. โ
Ning Ci's face turned black in an instant.
When he looked at this man, his eyes were a little displeased, and he asked coldly, "You have been following me?" โ
"Then you think too highly of yourself. Although you are an absolute genius among the young people of the Hyuga family, you Hyuga Ningji is just a child of the split family after all, and it is not worth my dignified Hinata to endure in secret to follow you. โ
The middle-aged ninja of the Hyuga clan smiled freely, and every word that came out of his mouth made Ning Ji's forehead bruise.
The Hyuga clan's shinobi said, "I was following Hinata-sama, but in the process, I suddenly found out that you were a little familiar with the people of the Whitebeard Pirates, and that's it. โ
"I'm not familiar with him." After Ning Ci retorted.
He unceremoniously said directly to this Shangnin: "If you have something to say, don't sell it here, my time is precious." โ
"I don't want to say anything more to you."
Hinata Shinobu smiled, "As the son of Hinata Hinata Hinata , you should know the family elder of the 'Hinata Great Sect', right?" โ
Ning Ci did not answer.
It's also a default.
The "Hyuga Great Sect" is a respected elder of the Hyuga clan.
Although that elder was not the ancestor of the Hyuga clan, his voice was very important in the entire Hyuga clan.
Even Hinata Higaku, the head of the Hyuga clan, had to ask the elder for advice in the face of some family matters.
This man is the wise man of the family.
"Hyuga Ningji, Hyuga Elder wants to see you."
Hinatami turned around and said without looking back: "Family affairs, you can't be willful as a little ghost!" โ
Ningci: "......"
Helpless, Ning Ci could only follow this Shangnin for a while.
Eventually, they came to a residence in the residence of the Hyuga clan.
This residence is next door to the residence of the Hyuga family.
It can well be imagined...... The status of the owner of this residence is very important.
Ning Ci met a white-eyed old man here.
He has gray hair, wrinkles and age spots, and must be at least seventy or eighty years old. This is also the person who stood behind Hinata Hinata last night and suggested that Hinata be caged bird.
"Elder." Ning Ci maintained the etiquette of the children of the big clan.
He greeted the elder.
Ning Ci was keenly aware that the elder's face was a little bruised, as if he had fallen.
But he didn't ask much.
"Ningci! Children with day differences. Hyuga Dazong knelt on a futon, and he opened a pair of slightly cloudy eyes: "Sure enough, it is a young man from our Hyuga clan, who is young, and has such a sharp eye." This is a look that even the Hinata-sama of the clan family has never had! โ
Ning Ci felt that this elder was a little strange, why did he mention the name Hinata in front of him?
And what the other party said faintly had a feeling of provoking himself.
It's like trying to provoke anger in your heart.
"Ningji, you should know what happened to Hinata, right?" Hinata asked.
"Yes." Ning Ci's answer was simple.
"Ahem!" Hinata Dazong coughed twice, and he spoke: "Hinata, as the heir of the clan, betrayed Hinata's name and joined the not-so-glamorous Whitebeard Pirates. This incident is enough to disgrace the reputation of the Hyuga clan. โ
"We, the elders, have been discussing with Hizuki for a morning today and have made a new decision...... The identity of the heir of the Hyuga clan will be stripped from Hinata's body. โ
This sentence made Ning Ci's eyes widen a little.
Hinata was stripped of her status as the heir of the clan?
"The new heir of the clan will be Hinata's second daughter, the child named 'Hinata Hanabi'." Hinata Daizong said: "Hinata, who has lost her status as the heir of the clan, although she has not yet been clearly determined, she is already a member of the family. โ
After a few words, Ning Ci was a little in a trance.
Hinata has become a member of the same family as her?
Did she really give up her fate as the heir of the clan family?
"Elder, it's up to you adults to decide, right? Tell me that it's useless to give me a student at a ninja school, right? โ
Ning Ci tried to calm himself down.
After a heart-to-heart conversation with Bai, Ning Ci's emotions were more difficult to make waves than before.
And he always felt that something wasn't quite right.
The elder's motives were impure.
"Ahem, ahem!" Hinata took out a scroll from his arms and gently threw it to Hinata Ningji in front of him. Ning Ci was quick and grabbed it in his hand.
Before Ning Ci could open the scroll, Hinata Dazong explained: "Inside the scroll, what is recorded is the spell seal technique of the caged bird. โ
In a short sentence, Ning Ci's pupils suddenly constricted.
The hand holding the scroll couldn't help but tremble.
"Hinata is no longer the heir of the clan, so she should be engraved with the caged bird curse like you." Hinata Daizong's wrinkled old face was calm and unwavering, and he continued: "But those of us are not very good at carving a caged bird for her. โ
"And you, Ning Ci...... Your relationship with Hinata is okay, after all, your mission was to protect her life. Coupled with the fact that you have a little relationship with someone from the Whitebeard Pirates, there is no one more suitable than you. โ
"The old man wants you to put a caged bird curse mark for Hinata Hinata! This is the task given to you by the elder of the old man, and it is also a top-secret mission, and even the head of the sect family can't tell it! โ
"Ning Ci, you are a very good child. The old man also knows that you are not very convinced by Hinata and the Zong family. I guess you won't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, right? โ
"Don't disappoint the Hyuga family, don't disappoint your deceased father, and don't disappoint the old man!"
"Ningci!!"
