Taking a few steps forward, stepping over Hyuga Muneyoshi's severed limbs, breaking the silence with his piercing wail, Hyuga Kaze calmly said, "I'm not good with words, so what I'm about to say might be a bit incoherent. Please listen patiently."
His tone was gentle and polite, and everyone present gave him face, waiting quietly. Except for the guy on the ground with his limbs broken, who occasionally groaned, the atmosphere was harmonious.
"The Third Hokage, the greatest Hokage of Konoha, once kindly imparted the Will of Fire to me. He told me that everyone in Konoha is a loving family. I don't know when he went blind, but he had a big fist, so I could only listen."
A suppressed laugh rippled through the room, then abruptly ceased.
"In the Hyuga clan, can we feel how the main family treats us and loves us? I only feel oppressive rule from above."
"I've also wondered, is it because the main family is powerful and morally upright that I should obey them?"
"However, look at this mess on the ground. This old man is proof of it. All he thinks about is having another son to bully others. In terms of strength, he can't even form hand seals in front of me. I broke all four of his limbs in a second, and even sealed his chakra. With such weak strength, how can he manipulate the life and death of our branch family members like slaughtering pigs and dogs? Do you think that's reasonable?"
Some disapproving comments could be heard at the scene.
Hyuga Kaze remained unmoved and continued reciting the prepared text.
"The so-called main family is mostly nothing more than incompetent and arrogant parasites. Their so-called protection of the branch families is actually just protecting themselves, using the flesh and blood of the branch families to decorate their magnificent thrones."
"The foolish and debauched main family holds us high above, controlling our lives. People of the same bloodline are determined by their family of origin, and even by the time they were born within the same family. The Hyuga clan is utterly terrible!"
Hinata Kaze got more and more into the conversation.
"I have always had a wish for the future of the Hyuga family."
I hope that one day, we can all enjoy the wealth of our ancestors and learn the complete soft boxing method together.
I hope that one day, everyone will no longer be tormented by the curse of the caged bird and will be able to control their own life and death with their own hands.
I hope that one day, when the family has separated, we can truly stand tall and tell those parasites of the main family that we were born equal.
“Countless members of the branch families have tried to break the Caged Bird Seal and regain their dignity. You may be one of them, but most of you have been stumped by the seal and given up hope.”
"I've gathered everyone here today to share my research findings on breaking the Caged Bird Seal and to give you a choice."
"Whether you continue to kneel at the feet of the main family, allowing your descendants to be slaughtered at their mercy, or take control of your own destiny, work together to break the Caged Bird Curse, and personally overthrow the main family's corrupt rule, the choice is yours!"
The scene was initially deathly silent, then suddenly everyone erupted. Some shouted "Good!", some roared that they would kill the main family, and some even shouted Hyuga Kaze's name!
The effect seemed to be quite good. Hinata Kaze was in a good mood, feeling that it was worth it for her to have studied public speaking for a period of time after failing the art academy entrance exam in her previous life.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that he used his Mind Mirror supernatural power to project some hatred and anger, amplifying certain aspects of their emotions and causing them to resonate with him.
However, this is all for the cause of justice, and everyone will understand.
Hinata Kaze even dared to say, "My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and all my deeds are for justice!"
"That's so well said, it really hits the nail on the head! Those bastards from the main family drink our blood, eat our flesh, manipulate the fate of the branch families generation after generation, and shit and piss on our heads. I wish I could kill them all! Brother Feng, please lead us to break the Caged Bird Seal and reform the Hyuga clan."
The ones shouting are Hyuga Shu and Hyuga Tsuyoshi. They had already been defeated by Hyuga Kaze and had already discussed it beforehand. Now they are playing the straight man perfectly.
The members of the branch clans in the arena hesitated slightly; they could tell what was going on. Those who could survive in the ninja world might have some chuunibyou (delusional) or paranoia due to biased views, but pure fools were few and far between, especially the Hyuga clan, whose members were all highly skilled in intelligence gathering and discernment, and were extremely shrewd.
Given the current situation, with Hyuga Kaze possessing such strength and possibly a way to break the Caged Bird Seal, it's not impossible for them to acknowledge a leader.
However, they felt a little awkward about expressing their loyalty to the young Hinata Kaze so quickly.
"I knew you were a genius and could surpass me quickly, but I never imagined you could do this. Think back, you were hiding your true strength all along, weren't you?"
It was Hinata Minami who spoke up. As Hinata Kaze's former mentor, he felt it was appropriate for him to break the silence.
"Teacher Nan, you're too kind. It was all just to protect myself."
The atmosphere eased a little, and some Hyuga clan members couldn't hold back any longer.
Hyuga Sei continued, "You easily defeated us all by yourself, so your strength should be no less than that of the Hokage. But strength is not the same as the ability to break the cursed seal. I am willing to accept your leadership, but please prove that you can break the Caged Bird Seal first."
Upon hearing this, the others echoed and expressed their willingness to accept the leadership.
Hinata Kaze raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said, "Thank you for your trust. I'm not a leader or anything like that. I'll prove it to you right away."
After saying that, Hyuga Kaze formed a series of complex hand seals, then walked to the limp Hyuga Muneyoshi's side, bent down and set his broken hand bones, and considerately treated him with medical ninjutsu.
