Chapter 7

Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand froze slightly. With his strong will, even if he was burned by the flames, he would not frown. But at this moment, in the Hokage's office, the words of the twelve-year-old Hinata Seiko shocked him. Absence.

"It would be great if it could satisfy everyone in the village."

There is no claim for greater "power".

There is no desire for a higher "status".

Not even mentioned to the Hyuga family.

To satisfy everyone in the village...

Hinata Yuuto, in your subconscious mind, does the importance of the village override everything else?

The Hyuga family's genealogy will definitely not instill this kind of thinking. Did you deliberately say this to me...or did it come from the bottom of your heart, and you didn't even realize it?

For the first time, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked seriously at the twelve-year-old boy from the Hyuga branch in front of him.

Very handsome, very young, with thick calluses on his hands. He must have put in a lot of hard work. The Hyuga Jade... Yes, after becoming a genin, you are not in the Hyuga clan all year round. You will go out to perform tasks most of the time. You are promoted. I was only six years old when I became a genin, so naturally I didn’t receive clan education for that long...

He suddenly thought of the genius who fought with him through life and death and finally died fighting for Konoha, Uchiha Mirror.

Even among the powerful ninja clan who are closed and proud, there will still be people who inherit the will of fire...

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought a lot. Finally, he suppressed all the tumbling thoughts and took a deep look at Hinata Yuuto:
  "Yuuto, step back and have a good rest."

"Yes, Hokage-sama." Hinata Yuuto bowed and retreated.

He didn't make any more unnecessary moves, but left the Hokage building easily.

He had done all the efforts he could, and Hinata Yuuto couldn't predict what would happen next.

How will Sarutobi Hiruzen deal with a boy from the Hyuga branch who is extremely talented and possesses the "Will of Fire"?

If it were sixteen years later, when the plot officially begins, the three older generations who are dying will most likely just wait and watch passively, or at most provide some convenience secretly.

But now, the third generation who has just passed their fifties is in charge of Konoha. Men in this period are ambitious and dare to make bold actions and drastic decisions without leaving anything to chance.

Sarutobi Hiruzen...don't let me down.

Hyuga Yuuto thought like this, and according to his past character, he went straight back to the Hyuga tribe without wandering around too much.

This time, he could enter through the front door.

The Hyuga clan occupies a large area. The central area is where the clan is located, and the remaining areas are numerous branch mansions. Just looking at the location and height difference between the two areas, you can understand that "the clan is the master of Hinata. This concept of "splitting the family to protect and worship the clan" is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The rules of more than a thousand years, the concept of superiority and inferiority, are like blood, flowing in the body of every Hyuga clan member.

The Zong family believes that this rule is natural.

The branch family also thinks so.

Over the long years, all the seeds that dared to resist have been destroyed.

Hyuga Yuuto's home is located in the southwest of the clan area, only more than 400 meters away from the tall wall, and it belongs to the fringe area.

But what is gratifying is that his home is very spacious. Although there are not many valuable things, his parents liked to plant flowers and grass and took good care of the yard. Once inside, it feels like visiting a flower and botanical garden in a previous life.

He crossed the yard, entered the house, and began to tidy up and clean the room.

Hinata Yuuto has been away from home for eighteen days this time, and there is already a layer of dust on the tatami.

Cleaning is a chore, but Hyuga Yuuto does it with gusto. He is a ninja and can walk on walls by concentrating chakra on the soles of his feet. Therefore, he does not miss any corner and removes cobwebs, dust, and bugs. Clean it up.

After cleaning all the houses spotlessly, the sun has set.

Hinata Yuuto lay on his back on the grass-scented tatami, took off his forehead protector, and stroked his smooth forehead. He knew that the ugly caged bird curse mark was lying on it. Although he felt no pain or pain, Hinata Yuuto always felt that , there is a spider spinning silk on his forehead. The young man suddenly felt sick at that scene. He shuddered, got up, and went to the kitchen to cook.

A twelve-year-old boy, even a ninja, can hardly cook delicious food. He is good at wielding kunai and can concentrate chakra into the palm of his hand in a tenth of a second. He still can't understand how to cook food. The heat and the best time to add condiments often make him confused with a strange-shaped cooking utensil.

Fortunately, however, Hinata Yuuto only had to cook a very small amount of meals.

Because he is only one person.

After struggling for a long time, a roasted fish, a dish of green vegetables, and a bowl of rice were finally ready.

The roasted fish was a little burnt, the vegetables were salty and the rice was uncooked.

Even so, Hinata Yuuto ate happily.

No one in Konoha Village knows that Hyuga Yuuto is actually a very cheerful person when he is alone.

Born into a separate Hyuga family, he was destined to become a slave as soon as he was born. If he was still sad when he was alone, Hyuga Yuuto would probably not survive until this time, and he would have died of depression long ago.

As he was eating, Hinata Yuuto suddenly felt a little lonely.

So he quickly got up, ran to a room upstairs, found a box, and took out two kunai inside.

The two kunais still contained blood that had long since solidified.

This is one of the few personal relics of Hinata Yuuto's parents.

Nine years ago, Hinata Yuuto was three years old.

That year, as a time traveler, Hyuga Yuuto was a very happy rice bug. He was born in the Hyuga family, but he was full of hope for the future.

——He knows the future development of this world. With the "Son of Prophecy" Uzumaki Naruto, everything will be fine. Happy days are all behind!
  Until that day, the father and mother, who were "guards", were sent to the clan territory covered in blood.

An important member of a certain clan family was attacked. The father and mother who served as guards fought desperately to protect the lives of the clan family at the cost of serious injuries and near death.

Whether it was to repay the kindness of raising him or to fear a huge change, Hyuga Yuto desperately stayed with his dying parents. Whether his parents were alive or dead, he had to witness it with his own eyes.

But in the end, Hinata Yuuto did not see the moment when the couple died.

For he was taken, with brute force, with the whip, with dogma.

The day the separated couple died fighting for the clan was the day their son carved the caged bird.

The reward given to a dead hero is to mark his descendants with the mark of a slave.

The date for casting the curse seal has been set long ago and cannot be changed no matter what happens. This is a rule that the Hyuga family is proud of and has been passed down for thousands of years.

When three-year-old Hinata Yuto stumbled towards his parents, covering his forehead, all he touched were two cold corpses.

He looked at his parents who had lost their lives and found that the corners of their mouths were open, as if they were saying something.

After thinking for a long time, carefully comparing the mouth shapes and asking people present at the time, Hinata Yuuto finally knew the last words shared by his parents -

"Yuuto, I'm sorry."

Sorry... sorry for what?

now.

A lonely, cold home.

Hinata Yuuto stroked the two bloody and rusty kunai and murmured softly:
  "There's nothing to apologize for."

"You didn't make any mistakes...Father, Mother."
