In the deep darkness of the night, the once tranquil Hyuga branch family's residence was broken by a sudden commotion.
Teams of Wings of Light, with clear objectives and swift, orderly movements, charged towards the stubborn branch families identified as loyal to the main family.
Hinata Mujia
With a slap, the sturdy wooden door snapped and collapsed with a loud crash.
"Who dares to trespass into the Hyuga clan?"
Hyugagi sat up abruptly, quickly dressed, and prepared to go out and see what was going on, his mind filled with doubt.
No one answered. Four ninjas rushed in and surrounded Hyuga Kito.
Hinatagi subconsciously assumed a Gentle Fist stance, preparing to counterattack, but froze the next moment.
He recognized all the people surrounding him; three of them were elite members of the branch family whose strength was no less than his own, and the leader, Hyuga Kumo, was an elite Chunin whose strength was even greater than his. This made him feel disheartened.
He murmured in fear, "Why is it you guys? What did I do that required you all to come?!"
Before the others could answer, Hyugagi, with a serious expression, threw out several kunai and rushed towards the window, preparing to jump out and call for help.
Unfortunately, just before Hyuga Kito could make his move, several ninjas struck first. Their coordinated attacks were swift and powerful, quickly striking Hyuga Kito's pressure points and subduing him.
Hinatagi was truly in despair. He hadn't expected these branch family members to be so unethical. Each of them was just as strong as him, yet they still chose to gang up on him!
Without saying a word, the group worked together to escort Hyugagi out.
It seems that something unexpected has happened in the divided residential area of this place, and there is a lot of noise.
After being taken to the street, Hyugagi discovered that he wasn't the only one; some of his clansmen nearby had also been detained and were gathered in the street.
Further out, dozens of cold-faced branch family ninjas watched the controlled clansmen with predatory eyes.
Hinatagi's heart sank even further. Just as he was about to despair, he noticed someone in a house further away opening a window and looking over. He immediately shouted along with the clansmen beside him.
What are you trying to do?
"Help! Someone's gone mad!"
......
Dozens of controlled branch members shouted desperately, trying to attract its attention.
What made them even more desperate was that the clansmen who had been drawn to them ignored their cries for help and instead joined Hyuga Kumo's group.
They moved swiftly and in an orderly formation, clearly well-trained, and all surrounded Hyugagi and the others, watching their cries for help with cold smiles.
Shortly after the incident, Hyuga Rai, a Jonin from the branch family, sensed something was wrong. He was an elite who had survived the Third Shinobi World War and was very sensitive to changes in his environment.
Upon opening his Byakugan, he saw Hyuga Kijima and his group being escorted together. Hyuga Rai rushed home and woke up his wife, Hyuga Rin, and son, Hyuga Kaze.
"Something has happened in our territory. Let's go find other members of our tribe and reunite!"
What happened?
Hyuga Raishin, his expression calm, led his wife and children cautiously out, explaining in a low voice, "It's possible that some branch family members have rebelled. I noticed some of the clan members acting strangely a while ago."
At the time, I thought it was just my imagination. If I had known it was like this, I would have…
At this point, Hyuga Rai seemed to sense something and stopped to observe warily.
"What would you have done if I'd known?"
Under Hyuga Rai's wary gaze, five ninjas appeared and surrounded Hyuga Rai's family.
Seeing his clansmen's changed attitude, Hyuga Rai couldn't help but smile bitterly. He stood in front of his wife and children to cover their retreat, while trying to resolve the dispute with words.
"I just want to live a peaceful life. You hinted at it before, but I didn't say anything. Can't you let my family leave?"
At that moment, a tall, slender man with a cold expression appeared behind them. He made a gesture indicating that this path was blocked and said coldly, "In this great purge, there is no room for opportunists!"
Hyuga Rai's face was ashen, and he shouted unwillingly, "Hyuga Toru! Two Jonin, four Chunin, is it really worth it for me alone?"
A burly Jonin from the branch family approached with a smile, his tone full of self-righteousness, "You are a rare elite of the branch family, this lineup is a sign of respect for you."
Tonight, by Lord Zunfeng's order, we formally invite you to join the Wings of Light, so that together we may let the Lord's benevolent light shine upon the Hyuga branch family, cleansing the filth buried within the Hyuga clan!
With his wife and children behind him, Hyuga Rai changed direction again, always facing the two Jonin, before he began to ponder.
Hyuga Rai was filled with conflict and hesitation; he too longed for freedom. However, looking at his wife and children behind him, Hyuga Rai gritted his teeth and made up his mind to refuse Hyuga Toru and the others.
"I'm sorry, but I still want to live a stable life with my family. With the Caged Bird Seal in place, your actions are hopeless!"
Facing the approaching clansmen with a Gentle Fist stance, Hyuga Rai whispered to his wife and children without turning his head, "I'll clear the way. You take our son and run away. Hide after you get out of here. We'll talk about it when this is all over!"
Hinata Rin looked sorrowful, but she tried her best to remain calm. She gave Hinata Rai a deep look, then pulled her son away, preparing to leave through the path her husband had taken.
Having finished explaining, Hyuga Raishin's expression darkened, and he wanted to launch an attack ahead of schedule.
"Eight Trigrams, Sixteen Palms!"
Suddenly, his son's voice came from behind him, and at the same time, a series of fine attack points were placed on the pressure points on his back. Hyuga Rai was stunned and temporarily unable to circulate his chakra.
