"Eh? Hyuga Arata doesn't exist? Then his Byakugan..." Hinata had previously suspected whether Guan Liyuan had stolen "Hyuga Arata's" eyes.

"No, the transplanted pupil technique cannot be opened and closed freely. And although Guan Liyuan of the Federation is not surnamed Kaguya, judging from his bloodline limit, he is obviously a descendant of the Kaguya clan. The Kaguya clan and our Hyuga clan were allies during the Warring States Period, but in the end one family joined the Land of Fire and the other joined the Land of Water.

And it is said that a long, long time ago, the Kaguya clan and the Hyuga clan were related, but they did not inherit the Byakugan. It should be a reversion to their ancestors... The probability is the same as the probability of a corpse vein suddenly appearing in the Hyuga clan." Hanabi said. "

Then how did you guess it was Neji?" Guan Liyuan asked curiously.

"Hmph, when you sent back Uncle Hizashi's Byakugan, I told my father that you must have a conspiracy, and... after we took back Uncle Hizashi's Byakugan, who in Konoha would dare to say anything! But my father didn't care... But I didn't expect that you would crack the 'Bird in the Cage' in such a short time?" Hanabi wrinkled her nose as she spoke.

Well, although Hanabi's guess was based on facts, she also guessed wrong a little...

"In fact, Neji and we have cooperated for a long time, but after Konoha declared war on us, Neji decided to sever the cooperation relationship with us... Actually, Orochimaru also came on that mission, and Neji said this in front of Orochimaru. Very courageous, right?

But after that, Hizashi's Byakugan was sent back to the Hidden Cloud Village, which made Neji decide to continue cooperating with us." Guan Liyuan said.

"Brother Neji..." Hinata looked very self-blaming - in fact, it had nothing to do with her, whether it was the Hyuga family or Konoha, it was not something she could control.

"Ningji's cooperation with us also has other conditions. For example, after cracking the 'bird in a cage', we will not use it as a tool to threaten the children of the Hyuga branch family. We will remove all the 'birds in a cage' indiscriminately." Guan Liyuan said truthfully.

"So... why do you think that I, as a member of the main family, will be willing to cooperate with you? Or do you have a way to control me without being discovered by others?" Hanabi asked in a cold voice.

"Huh?" Hinata realized that Hanabi might be in danger at this time, and immediately opened her Byakugan, raised the starting position of the soft fist, and wanted to block in front of Hanabi.

Guan Liyuan scratched his head and said, "If you are unwilling to cooperate, it is indeed a bit difficult, and there is no guarantee that I can control you without being discovered by anyone, but... I believe in my own feelings!"

"You have only known me for a few days, and you dare to be so brazen as to think that I am willing to destroy the Hyuga clan? Do you really think we are good friends?" Hanabi looked disdainful... and seemed a little disappointed?

"No, no, no, it's not about destroying the Hyuga clan. I actually have a new idea! You say... if during the ceremony tomorrow, while most of the clan members are here, you cooperate with me to untie the 'bird in the cage' in public, and join the Federation as the new head of the Hyuga clan, how many people will be willing to follow you?" Guan Liyuan asked.

"You promised Brother Neji that you wouldn't threaten the people of the branch family, right?"

"That's right, it's not a threat, it's to untie the 'bird in the cage' first, and then let them choose voluntarily." Guan Liyuan added.

"It should be... it should be quite a lot, right?" Although Hanabi was confident, this kind of "human heart" problem obviously stumped her.

"Wait! Even if you succeed, how are you going to leave Konoha afterwards?" Hinata asked immediately.

Indeed, if it really came to that, Konoha would not watch the Hyuga clan members leave in a swagger.

"Don't worry about getting away. There will be no outsiders during the clan festival, and no one else in Konoha will come to the clan land at that time. I can take away all those who are willing to go with us before others find out." Guan Liyuan said.

"Hey! I haven't agreed to you yet. What do you mean by 'we' and 'us'? How disgusting..." Hanabi curled her lips in disdain.

"By the way... you are not angry that I concealed my identity, are you? Think about it from another perspective. As the Grand Speaker of the Federation, I have worked so hard to get in, and I end up chatting with you every day...

you should be touched, right? I didn't intend to cooperate with you from the beginning. You are a member of the main family..." Guan Liyuan said helplessly.

"Bah! Who dares to be touched."

Although Hanabi said this, she seemed to be in a better mood.

Two hours later, Guan Liyuan pulled up his pants...

After finalizing all the matters for tomorrow's clan festival, Guan Liyuan removed the illusion barrier of the Rinnegan and added the "bird in the cage" to himself again.

Until the guards outside saw "Hinata Arata" and Hanabi coming out, they did not find anything strange.

The only surprise was that the "family festival" was about to start tomorrow, but I didn't expect Hinata and Hanabi to be able to chat together for so long today...

"You go back first! I'm going to talk to my father about something important." Hanabi said to Guan Liyuan in a seemingly normal but actually provocative manner. She

looked like "Do you believe I'll go and tell on you?"

"Well, relax a little. Tomorrow we have to let everyone see the role model of the future head of the family." Guan Liyuan said with a smile.

"Humph!" Seeing Guan Liyuan's face that said "You will never go", Hanabi couldn't help but snorted proudly.

To the guards around, this was a normal scene - Miss Hanabi might be nervous and wanted to discuss something with the head of the family, and Hinata Arata, as the young lady's new friend, encouraged her.

Only Hanabi's "proud hum" at the end was a little strange... But they all knew Hanabi's personality, and the timing was very special, so it was normal for Hanabi to have emotional fluctuations, so they didn't doubt anything.

After Hanabi and Guan Liyuan separated, she did go to find Hyuga Hiashi... but not to "tell the secret", but to "say goodbye". After tomorrow, Hanabi will be gone for a long time.

Unfortunately, Hyuga Hiashi is also very busy today, and in Hyuga Hiashi's opinion, there are some things that he must face alone as the future head of the family, so he deliberately did not meet Hanabi.

As for Guan Liyuan, he was indeed not worried that Hanabi would "tell the secret". It seemed very reckless to suddenly propose such a cooperation to the future head family, but in fact Guan Liyuan was certain.

First, in the past few days, Guan Liyuan believed that he had some understanding of Hanabi, not to mention the original work as a reference. Second... even if there is really an accident, Guan Liyuan can still get away with it and take Neji away if the matter is exposed this time.

Sooner or later, the "Bird in the Cage" will be cracked. It is impossible for the Hyuga clan to make any fundamental optimization to the "Bird in the Cage" in a short period of time. It just gives them more time to deal with it.

By then, the Hyuga clan can use other methods to temporarily control the branch family and stabilize the situation, but it is impossible to completely replace the "bird in the cage", otherwise the Hyuga clan would not be the only one to adopt this control method.

Although it is the result after weighing the pros and cons, at least Guan Liyuan is willing to believe in Hua Huo, and Hua Huo is also willing to believe in Guan Liyuan.

There are still 18 hours before the Hyuga clan festival...
