"Well? Are you finally old enough to be interested in corpses?" Orochimaru sighed as he watched Guan Liyuan use the space-time ninjutsu to release several corpses.

"I'm not interested in corpses... Don't talk as if people will be interested in corpses when they get older!" Guan Liyuan said helplessly.

Previously, Guan Liyuan rescued Jūgo, Taketori Sora, and several other ninjas from the last remaining surprise attack team, but did not find the corpses of the Taketori clan.

In response to this, Guan Liyuan found clues in the people of the Hyuga clan and found another special scroll on Iroha, which can seal the corpses in it, but this scroll is empty!

Guan Liyuan suspected that the corpses that were collected before should have been transferred to the same scroll and sent directly back to the Hyuga clan by ninja birds, or sent to other safe places where people can

pick them up. It seems that Hyuga Hiashi was prepared to fail in the mission from the beginning. He is also a big family, and the main family has absolute control over the branch family. Six special jonin and jonin, actually said to throw them away? Even in the Northern Alliance, they were not so generous!

Guan Liyuan originally wanted to take Taketori Sora and Jūgo back to Tianyin Village, but both of them wanted to stay on the battlefield!

Considering the previous "message" from Hyuga Hiashi, Guan Liyuan understood that since the Hyuga clan had threatened, it meant that the other party did not want to make the matter public.

In this case, the Hyuga clan should not send anyone to the north again, otherwise they also understood that if they continued to provoke, the previous threats would be meaningless...

As for the Hidden Cloud Village, Guan Liyuan's previous behavior was obviously equivalent to turning against it!

However, Guan Liyuan did not regret it. When dealing with hardliners like the Hidden Cloud Village, "compromise" would only be seen as "showing weakness".

Instead, they hit it head-on... At least they felt good! As for the probability of the Hidden Cloud Village going to war with the Northern Alliance in the future, Guan Liyuan estimated that it was half and half.

But if they want to fight, I think the Cloud Village will choose to fight head-on next, so Guan Liyuan also temporarily agreed to let Shigeo and Taketori Sora stay in the battlefield of the East Advance, and at the same time, he also spread the news that Yukito and Troy from the Cloud Village sneaked into the Kingdom of the First and were crushed by the Northern Alliance.

After that, Guan Liyuan also returned to the Tianyin Village, met Taketori Osamu, and told him about the Hyuga clan.

Taketori Osamu only then understood why the envoys of the Hyuga clan all bid farewell to the Tianyin Village in the morning, and there was some hint in their words, and they also hoped that he would not choose "both sides will suffer losses".

Because it was related to the Taketori clan, Guan Liyuan also listened to Taketori Osamu's opinion...

According to Taketori Osamu, if it was before the establishment of the Northern Alliance, no matter what the result would be, he would try his best to retaliate, even if notifying Konoha would not benefit the Taketori clan at all, he would do the same!

But now... Taketori Osamu only said one sentence: I believe that Lord Liyuan will have a wiser approach and will be tougher than my way of revenge... The Taketori clan can wait!

Guan Liyuan would not live up to his trust, and immediately brought the corpses he had collected before to Orochimaru...

"Take a closer look, this is not an ordinary corpse!" Guan Liyuan thought that Orochimaru did not recognize anything after the clan seal destroyed the Byakugan.

"I know, it's the corpse of the Hyuga clan." Orochimaru didn't even seem interested in taking another look.

"Huh? You know?" Guan Liyuan asked in confusion.

"Hehe." Orochimaru smiled faintly.

Guan Liyuan immediately realized that with Orochimaru's character, he probably obtained the corpses of the Hyuga clan from gray channels before!

"Is it useless?" Guan Liyuan looked at Orochimaru's expression and asked speculatively.

"It's completely useless. The clan seal is more complicated and effective than you think. So far, I don't know how many pairs of Sharingan have passed through my hands, but I have never encountered a Byakugan!" Orochimaru said with resentment.

After the Uchiha clan was exterminated, a large number of corpses with Sharingan flowed into Orochimaru through Danzo's channels. Later, Orochimaru gave Danzo an arm that could be called "killing intensive phobia"...

"There should be a lot of Byakugan owners, right? They are so well protected..." Guan Liyuan frowned.

The number of people in the Hyuga clan is about the same as that of the Uchiha clan in its heyday, but the chance of awakening the Byakugan is much greater than that of the Sharingan!

"Yes, the person who developed the 'clan curse seal' is indeed a genius. There are hundreds of ninjas with Byakugan, but so far only one pair of Byakugan has been released... It's the pair of eyes of Hyuga Hizashi back then. One is in the Hidden Cloud Village, and the other was taken away by the Hidden Mist Village afterwards." Orochimaru said.

Ao of the Hidden Mist Village has a Byakugan, which Guan Liyuan has seen before. Another one was transplanted by Toshiro of the Hidden Cloud Village. When Guan Liyuan sneaked into the Hidden Cloud Village before, Rhino Dog felt a breath similar to Ao's Byakugan. It should be him!

"I'm not interested in the Byakugan, but this curse seal." Guan Liyuan said.

This is the most uncomfortable way of revenge that Guan Liyuan could think of, even better than killing him directly!

The existence of the clan curse seal has minimized the chances of many "branch families" of the Hyuga clan rebelling against the "main family", and even if someone resists, the clan curse seal can easily kill the rebels...

All the children of the branch families will be engraved with the clan curse seal at birth, and the clan curse seal even has the effect of limiting fertility, so it is impossible to leave offspring outside without telling the clan.

Even if there are more than one heir of the main family, they must decide whether to be the heir of the main family after they reach adulthood. For example, if Hinata is fifteen years old and Hyuga Hiashi wants her to inherit the main family, then no matter if Hanabi or Hyuga Hiashi have any other heirs, they will be engraved with the curse seal. If Hinata is determined not to inherit the main family, she will be engraved with the clan curse seal...

The strict monitoring system keeps the bloodline limit of the Hyuga clan secret to the greatest extent, and limits almost all resistance of the branch families... But at the same time, they also have to bear the corresponding side effects!

It can be imagined that under such a system, once the effect of the clan curse seal disappears, 99% of the members of the many branch families will counterattack frantically.

"Clan curse seal? If you want the Byakugan, just go to the Hidden Mist Village or the Hidden Cloud Village and get the only two Byakugan that are not restricted by the clan curse seal. I am still somewhat confident that I can research something, but the clan curse seal... It is almost impossible to get any results!" said Orochimaru.

Indeed, the loss of the Byakugan only made the Hyuga clan feel uncomfortable, but once the clan seal was broken, the destruction of the clan was inevitable.

"Didn't you say that there is no universal technique?" Guan Liyuan asked back.

"That's true, but to crack it, you need samples and enough time, right? After this clan seal is activated, it will not only destroy their Byakugan, but the foundation of this seal is the Byakugan. After destroying the Byakugan, this seal will also disappear... What you brought back is not a sample at all." Orochimaru explained.

"What if you kill the main family member Hinata Hiashi directly?" Guan Liyuan asked.

"It's useless. Even if all the main family members die, the seal will automatically unlock the seal of a clan member who is closest to the bloodline and has the highest level of seal, making him the new main family member."

"It's really a cautious technique... In other words, we can't think of a way to deal with the seal?" Guan Liyuan frowned, as if he was already thinking of other things.

At this time, Orochimaru suddenly said, "Theoretically, there are... Clan Curse Seals are also divided into levels, that is, the authority within the branch family is also different. As far as I know, the highest level of clan seal holders, most of their daily behaviors will not be monitored by the clan seal, unless the main family actively activates the clan seal. If they are willing to cooperate and are not discovered by others during the period, perhaps the research can proceed."

"You haven't looked for these people?" Guan Liyuan asked.

"I have looked, but as far as I know, there are only three old antiques in the Hyuga clan who have the highest level of clan seals. It is impossible for them to cooperate actively and they usually don't leave the Hyuga clan's residence."

"Then there is still no way..." Guan Liyuan rolled his eyes at him.

"But if you think about it carefully, I seemed to see a clan seal that seemed to be the highest level kid at the site of the Chunin Exam before... It seems to be the son of Hyuga Hiashi! Normally, this situation should not happen. Maybe... Hyuga Hiashi made some kind of deal with Hyuga Hiashi before he died." Orochimaru said.

"Deal?" Guan Liyuan's eyes lit up.

Ahem, don't get me wrong, it's not because Guan Liyuan wants to make a deal with Orochimaru or something like that, but he suddenly remembered that Hyuga Neji is a very arrogant type in the branch family. Not only does he completely ignore Hyuga Hiashi, but he also "teach" his cousin Hinata, who theoretically has the potential to inherit the main family...

Such arrogant behavior should not exist in the Hyuga clan! Even if Hyuga Hiashi doesn't care, there will be other branch families to teach him a lesson...

But if his clan's curse seal is the highest level and only Hyuga Hiashi can punish him, it makes sense!

Moreover, Hyuga Hiashi, who originally had resentment towards Hyuga Hiashi and was very dissatisfied with the system of the main and branch families of the Hyuga clan, and even hated it, and who had tried to resist, was suddenly willing to sacrifice for Hyuga Hiashi, which was also something that Guan Liyuan had once puzzled about.

If there is any "deal", it is more in line with common sense.

"But must Neji take the initiative to cooperate with you? Let me think about it..." Guan Liyuan showed a thoughtful look.

Although Neji is dissatisfied with the main family, after seeing his excellent performance in the Chunin Exam, Hyuga Hiashi should choose to ease the relationship with him.

And even if Neji is dissatisfied with the main family, it is impossible for him to betray Konoha because of this. If you want him to cooperate actively, you can't just coerce or bribe him...
