Despite the late hour, the Hyuga branch family training grounds were still brightly lit.
The Wings of Light used the training ground as the meeting point for tonight's operation, and temporarily set up a lot of high-powered lighting equipment there.
Under the bright lights, groups of branch family members were escorted over. Among them were Jonin like Hyuga Rai, ordinary Chunin like Hyuga Ki, and even many ordinary clan members who were not even ninjas.
The family members who had gathered together were alarmed by the events of the night and began to whisper among themselves in discussion.
"Lei, even you've been taken into custody. It seems they're very well prepared tonight."
"Mu, stop struggling. Look at all those guards outside. We can only wait patiently for the outcome."
"Don't be so stubborn! Release us, sincerely repent to the clan, and you will still have a way to live!"
"It's over, everything is over. Whether the main family wins or they win, we're all finished."
"Why are you controlling me during the fight? I haven't even activated my Byakugan, I'm not even a ninja!"
Nearly two hundred members of the Hyuga branch family gathered here. With so many people, there were all sorts of noises. Some of them were despondent, some were eloquently trying to persuade the Wings of Light members to turn back from their misguided ways, and some simply burst into tears!
Squeezed in the crowd, Hinata felt as if he were trapped in a nightmare, everything in front of him was so bizarre and strange.
The usually harmonious and friendly tribespeople were unbelievably indifferent tonight, standing silently on the periphery, just staring intently at them.
Is this still the Hyuga clan? What happened, or what is about to happen?
Hinatagi had a vague guess in his mind, but he himself dared not believe it.
Perhaps annoyed by the noise of the crowd, Hinata stepped out from the outer perimeter of the guards and, with a smile, began to reassure the clansmen.
"Don't panic, we will not hurt you."
In fact, all our actions are in accordance with the will of the great patriarch, striving to spread light to all branch families.
Before Hinata Minami could finish speaking, someone exclaimed and interrupted him.
"Clan Chief? Does Lord Hiashi have any orders?"
Upon hearing this, Hinata Minami's eyes flashed with a cold light, and anger quickly welled up on his usually smiling face.
"How dare you! You have desecrated Lord Feng's sanctity with this sinner who usurped the throne of the clan leader!"
Hinata Minami's words were full of anger, clearly indicating that she was quite upset.
The person who asked the question was startled, took a few steps back, and muttered defiantly, "But, Lord Hiashi is..."
"Shut up, say less, just watch!"
Hinata tried his best to control his anger while arranging the tribespeople he had brought to stand in an orderly manner, and the scene quickly calmed down.
Ri Xiangnan didn't get angry, but another member of the Wings of Light couldn't stand it. He glared fiercely at the clansman who had spoken earlier, memorizing his figure and face, his words full of rage.
"If it weren't for Lord Feng's repeated instructions, I would have definitely taught these blasphemous and disrespectful fellows a lesson!"
"Alright, control your emotions. This is an important matter. Lord Feng is coming soon."
Before Hinata Minami could finish speaking, a gasp rang out in the room, and everyone looked up at the sky.
Following the gaze of the crowd, they saw a handsome, elegant, and otherworldly figure descending step by step from the sky.
Yes, as he descended, it was as if Hinata Kaze was stepping on invisible stairs, his ethereal aura like a fire that cleaved through the darkness, deeply reflected in everyone's eyes and etched into their hearts.
"Chieftain"
"Lord Wind"
Before Hyuga Kaze could even land, the members of Wings of Light shouted excitedly and knelt down on one knee to welcome him.
This respectful attitude shocked the tribespeople on the side, leaving them somewhat at a loss for what to do.
Hinata Rai was filled with mixed emotions. This god-like feeling was no wonder his son was bewitched and attacked him from behind.
He truly didn't know whether to hope his son's judgment was wrong, or to hope that the person his son followed would achieve success.
Hinata Kaze used the Mind Mirror Technique to amplify his aura, projecting his imposing presence into everyone's minds before slowly landing.
Clearing his throat, Hyuga Kaze gestured for the members of Wings of Light to stand up, then broke the silence with his words.
"Good evening, fellow tribesmen. Many of you may not be familiar with me, may not know who I am, or what we are going to do tonight."
Hinata Kaze paused for a moment, then raised his hand to remove his headband, revealing his smooth forehead.
Amidst the shocked uproar, Hinata Kaze calmly continued, "Perhaps this way we can be more open and honest."
To put it simply, my name is Hyuga Kaze, a member of the Hyuga branch family. Together with the clansmen who invited you here tonight, I formed an organization called the Wings of Light.
"As for what we're going to do tonight, it's naturally to lead everyone to reclaim what the Hyuga branch family has been taken from us for thousands of years: freedom and dignity!"
Hinata Kaze's words caused the scene to become even noisier.
"The Caged Bird Seal has truly been broken! The Sage of Six Paths has eyes!"
"Can I also untie the caged bird and gain my freedom?"
These people were quite excited and happy, but there were also many who fell into a state of rage and agitation.
"This is blasphemy, blasphemy!"
"The cursed seal protects us. Without the Caged Bird Seal, the Hyuga clan would have no way to continue!"
"Damn it, the branch family exists to protect the main family, how can you betray the main family?"
