Chapter 340: Butcher Knife



Everyone understands the principle that those involved are often confused, while bystanders can see things more clearly.

Hinata Hiashi continued, "We have carefully sorted out all the information about the Hyuga family. Not to mention the method of evolving the Byakugan into the Samsara Eye, there is not even a method of using chakra to strengthen the Byakugan. As for the method of using other people's Byakugan to strengthen your own Byakugan, it is unheard of."

"Isn't this what should be done?" If I had known this earlier, what would Shuimu have mattered?

"But Hinata has a caged bird!"

"Bird in a cage?" Shuimu thought for a while, then suddenly realized, "So that's it, I understand."

"It seems that Mr. Mizuki has thought it through, so I don't need to explain any more."

Mizuki nodded, it was indeed obvious.

Regardless of the purpose of the caged bird, no one can deny that the caged bird seal is a powerful tool to restrain the Hyuga clan. The main family can almost take whatever the branch family wants. This de facto subordinate relationship, almost everyone believes, was developed to prevent the loss of the Byakugan. But is it really so?

"The origin of the caged bird is no longer traceable. Generation after generation of the Hyuga clan has taken it as their responsibility to maintain the Hyuga family business. The caged bird is the fate that every Hyuga clan member cannot escape since birth, except for the heir of the clan."

"However, if we combine it with the unknown detailed method of the Samsara Eye evolution, we come to a very ridiculous conclusion. The Hinata already has the foundation to achieve the first step. Whether it is a large amount of chakra or depriving and obtaining a large number of Byakugan, the caged bird can help the main family do it."

"But the Hyuga family knows nothing about the most important step. The Samsara Eye is almost becoming a legend. If it weren't for the appearance of the Rinnegan, even I would doubt whether this mythical bloodline limit really exists."

Mizuki also understood what Hyuga Hiashi said. If the Hyuga family really had a way to evolve into the Samsara Eye, the possibility of achieving it was quite high. Although it was unfair to the branch family and the means were cruel, it was not difficult to understand that a powerful ninja clan that had survived a thousand years of war would use the whole family's strength to obtain the Samsara Eye and overcome the difficulties.

However, if the most critical step is missing, things will be very strange. To use an inappropriate analogy, the main Hyuga family is the farmer, the bird in the cage is the pigsty, and the branch family is a group of pigs waiting to be slaughtered. When the famine comes, they can kill them and eat their meat. However, when the pigs are fat, they find that they don’t have a butcher knife, and they don’t know the correct way to cook pork. They can only stare at the group of fat pigs.

Even though he knew that there was no way anyone could eavesdrop here, Hyuga Hiashi still lowered his voice and said, "If not even a single word was discovered, we have to worry."

"Are you worried that this method has never been mastered by the Hyuga family?"

Hinata Hiashi nodded to confirm Mizuki's words.

"This is a serious problem!"

If the butcher knife was just lost, it would be fine. But if it had never been owned, it meant that the knife had been in someone else's hands from the beginning, and even the main Hyuga family might not be a farmer, but a farmer who had selected a larger pig leader and was waiting to kill the pig for meat. This was what made Hyuga Hiashi shudder.

From Mizuki's memory, the Samsara Eye is closely related to the God Tree and the origin of this world, but Mizuki is not very clear about the Byakugan. Compared with the clear Samsara Eye, the Byakugan is not possessed by the natives of the Ninja World. Its origin is the Otsutsuki clan, which is an outsider. The descendants of Otsutsuki Hamura, the direct successor of the Six Paths Sage, did not explain it clearly. Mizuki did not know how the Hyuga family became what it is now, and what kind of relationship it has with the descendants of Otsutsuki Hamura who guard the Outer Path Statue on the moon.

"Does Mizuki Jonin also share our concerns?"

"Although all of this is possible, from the beginning, all the conclusions have not been proven in practice, including the method I mentioned of using chakra and collecting the Byakugan to synthesize the Samsara Eye. Does the Hyuga clan leader want to give it a try?"

Hinata Hiashi shook his head in denial.

"So, the subsequent speculations are naturally unprovable."

"Danger is scary, but the unknown is even more worrying."

For the Hyuga clan leader who has always been proud of the Hyuga family, the most difficult thing to accept is not facing danger, but that the Hyuga are not as noble as imagined. This is the most devastating thing.

"So what does the Hyuuga clan leader need from me?"

"Confirm whether there are really unknown enemies hiding nearby who are eyeing the Hinata covetously. If so, find out where they are." Hinata Hiashi said in a deep voice, "No matter what purpose they created us for, the Hinata will never surrender to anyone."

"I see. Where do I start?"

"A sample of the caged bird will be provided to Mizuki Jonin. Regardless of whether this is successful or not, I hope the news will end with Mizuki Jonin."

"That's natural."

One is the issue of honesty and trustworthiness, and the other is that if the information is leaked, Mizuki will not benefit from it and will simply gain the hostility of the Hyuga family.

In order to strengthen his bargaining chip, Hyuga Hiashi continued: "For the above mentioned things, confirm the enemy, the reward is a Byakugan eye, find the enemy, and give another one."

Hyuga Hiashi's words immediately made Shuimu's eyes light up: "The master of the family really spent a lot of money!"

"This is related to the safety of the entire clan, so we have to act according to our own wishes. Over the years, the Hyuga clan has received many cold stares from deceased clan members. We are not so pedantic as to be irrational."

Although these are all empty promises, as long as Mizuki can produce real evidence, he will not be afraid of Hinata denying it. I believe Hinata Hiashi can't afford to lose face.

"It seems that it is not easy to get it!"

This is different from the method of synthesizing the Samsara Eye that can be fooled by just a little bit of experimental data and speculation. If Hinata is to pay such a huge price, the price must not be vague news.

At noon, after returning home to rest and having lunch, Mizuki kept thinking about the issues that Hinata Hiashi discussed with him in the morning, especially that pair of seductive white eyes.

"What are you thinking about? You even held the book upside down!" Xiao Chun asked when she saw Shuimu was daydreaming.

"I was raped by someone with a treasure today, and I feel a little uneasy."

"Is it so precious? Is it necessary to have it?"

"That's not the case."

If you have the Byakugan, it might be effective in resisting the Sharingan pupil technique and the Infinite Moon Reading. But if you don't have it, it doesn't mean that you can't think of a way to deal with it. After all, there is still a lot of time to study countermeasures.
