Chapter 87

Into the night.

In the study of the patriarch, Neji and Hyuga Hiashi sat opposite each other, relatively speechless.

It took two or three minutes for Hyuga Hiashi to speak first.

After just one day, he looked haggard a lot, his cheeks pale and his eyes bleak. Obviously what happened today gave him a big blow.

After being alone for a long time, dealing with his emotions, and calming down, he immediately found Neji.

“Neji, I have already decided.”

“Decide what.”

“Let Hanabi inherit the position of patriarch… from tomorrow.”

Neji was startled slightly: “Now? How old is she?”

Hyuga Hiashi said: “I will help her with some affairs.”

“……Oh.”

Neji understands that this means “listen to the government”.

He could see that Hyuga Hiashi must feel that such a big thing happened during his tenure as the patriarch, and he no longer has enough prestige to continue serving. It might as well give up the position to his daughter.

In this way, I can feel a little better…

Hyuga Hiashi said frankly, “This kind of thing happened in the family, and I, the patriarch, really have no face to go on. I can only give way to Hanabi, or say…” He looked at Neji calmly, “Still, Neji, you Not only want to be a Hokage, but also a patriarch?”

“The patriarch is worried.” Neji shook his head, “I promised you will assist Hanabi, so you will keep your promise.”

“…I don’t know if it is good or bad for you to assist her in doing this kind of thing.” Hyuga Hiashi said, his upper body was slightly lifted, and his tone was a little excited.

“Why are you in such a hurry? Neji. If you told me earlier that you removed Caged Bird, then I can help you, as long as you take it slowly, perhaps this bloody can be avoided!”

“Haha.” Neji smiled, “Patriarch, don’t you understand, the fundamental contradiction is irreconcilable, only one party will perish or the other will perish.”

“But……”

Looking at Hyuga Hiashi’s tangled expression, Neji knew that it would be better for Hanabi to be the patriarch.

In his opinion, good leaders are generally divided into two types: one is “shou-shaping” and the other is “aggressive.”

Hiashi is undoubtedly a guardian. He can take care of family affairs well and his internal affairs are good, but he will hesitate and rely on others when encountering some major issues.

As for Hanabi, although she was young, she also showed an “aggressive” personality, which can be seen from the fact that she was the first to stand up on the training ground. Although there is also a good relationship between her and Neji… But in the presence of so many senior elders, it is really not easy for a few-year-old girl to muster the courage to stand on the opposite side.

If a family is in its heyday and is perfect in all aspects, then perhaps a well-formed leader is more suitable.

But if there are many internal contradictions in a family, then an aggressive patriarch is needed to overcome all obstacles and put his heart down to sort it out.

Neji believes that what the Hyuga clan now needs is aggressive leadership.

Hyuga Hiashi is more than defensive but not enterprising. Under his management, the contradictions of the Hyuga clan are destined to be unresolved, and tragedies like “the destiny of man is destined” in the original Neji will continue to be staged…

With Hanabi changed, Neji can’t guarantee what will happen, but what he can make sure is that the little girl has more courage to change something decadent. Sometimes courage itself is more important than anything else.

Hyuga Hiashi thought for a long time, but gave up the latter words.

He didn’t know how to persuade Neji, and it didn’t make any sense. Things had already happened, and people were already dead. No matter how much he said, there was no use.

“Don’t talk about other things… but Neji, why do you want to have the corpses of the patriarch and his guards detained?”

Hyuga Hiashi didn’t understand this very well. People were killed, and why were they still holding the corpse?

Whip the corpse? Isn’t it enough to have a deep hatred like this?

“The elders acted on you. You can still say that you are self-defense if you kill them, but why do you want to detain the body?” Hiashi wondered, “Now their family members are arguing. They want to take the body back for burial… You You can’t go too far, Neji.”

Neji blinked, “I killed the people, and the corpses belong to me.” He didn’t hide his purpose, “Because I need their eyes.”

“Need eyes?!”

“Yes.”

“What do you mean? Neji, to make it clear!”

“This is related to my need to help other branch houses to remove Caged Bird’s curse.” Neji lied.

But in fact, he also had a guess. It is guessed that after the upgrade of Byakugan, if a new ability is generated, is it possible that an ability similar to “erasing the curse mark” will appear?

If it can happen, then all the problems will be solved. If you can’t…That’s okay, anyway, Byakugan upgrades can make him stronger. As for the branch house curse, think about other ways to remove it.

“To lift the curse mark… actually need to use eyes? And is… Zong family?”

“It’s not impossible to have a branch house,” Neji said, “but the premise is that this person can’t die after taking out the eyes.”

“…”

Yes, the curse of Caged Bird is activated only when a person dies. In other words, if Byakugan is dug up while the branch house is alive, and then kept alive, the curse seal will not activate, and the dug Byakugan will not be destroyed.

This is a very secret rule, only a few people know. But for branch houses, there is no difference between having their eyes gouged and dying… Some branch houses will directly commit suicide after losing their eyes. Otherwise, even if he can come back alive, the family will put him to death to ensure that his eyes are destroyed.

Hyuga Hiashi’s breathing became a little short after hearing the slightly horrible words.

“Neji, don’t you…”

“Don’t worry.” Neji knew what Hiashi was thinking. “I’m not as crazy as you think.”

“…”

For a moment, Hiashi was worried that Neji would move Hanabi and Hinata’s ideas. After all, both of them are Zong Clan, and neither have a curse seal.

But after thinking about it, I don’t think so. Indeed, as Neji said, he is not a crazy person.

After hesitating for a while, Hyuga Hiashi suddenly said, “If you need Zongjia’s eyes, I can give you mine.”

“…”

“This can be regarded as my atonement for Hizashi… If you can use my eyes to remove the curse of the branch house… then it would be considered as good as possible.”

“No need.” Neji said, “You should keep your eyes on helping Hanabi with family affairs.”



“…How many pairs do you need?”

Neji’s heart moved slightly: “Are you going to help me?”

Hyuga Hiashi nodded with difficulty: “Yes, but I will not kill people… There are some critically ill patients in the family, their eyes… I believe that someone will contribute to help others remove the curse marks. .”

Neji’s eyes lit up.

Yes, this is indeed an idea…

There are indeed some seriously ill patients in the family. They have incurable diseases, and the rest are only half a year or more than a year at most. After death, their eyes will be destroyed by the curse seal. Then, if you are moved by the emotions, know the reason, and then compensate the family with a generous amount of real estate properties…maybe you will be willing to contribute.

At that time, after Neji upgrades Byakugan, it doesn’t matter if the patient dies again… Anyway, the upgrade is over… It may be cruel to think this way, but Neji believes that this transaction is something that some people are willing to do.

Originally, after the death of the branch house, the eyes would be horribly damaged by the curse seal, so it is better to exchange it for hope and for the property left to relatives…

Neji’s eyes flickered, and he whispered softly, “It’s still two pairs.”
