Chapter 264 The Affairs of the Hyuga Clan
"It's simple, just bring Lord Madara's soul back from the Pure Land!"
"In the entire ninja world, only the Impure World Reincarnation technique has the ability to bring the souls of the dead back from the Pure Land, and currently, you are the only one in the entire ninja world who possesses this forbidden technique!"
What Black Zetsu needed Kabuto to do was both very simple and very difficult.
Just as it said, in the current ninja world, only Kabuto Yakushi can still use the Impure World Reincarnation technique. This means that without Kabuto Yakushi's cooperation, Black Zetsu can only hope that Nagato will have a brain fart and revive Madara Uchiha!
"Are you sure the Akatsuki leader would be that obedient?"
Although Kabuto Yakushi was already tempted and even inclined to cooperate, he needed to know the strength of his potential partner before cooperating!
In other words, not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can be qualified to cooperate with Kabuto now.
"He had no choice!"
Black Zetsu was saying things that even it wasn't very confident about. It didn't matter if it didn't believe it itself, as long as Kabuto Yakushi believed it.
With Kabuto and Black Zetsu's hands clasped together, the two officially formed a partnership.
Meanwhile, in Konoha, after Uchiha Ikezumi returned, the atmosphere in the entire village was completely transformed. Those who had previously dared to secretly commit crimes now wished they could leave the village immediately.
Those who were most terrified were actually the new head elders of the Hyuga clan.
In order to be elected as the new head of the Hyuga clan, these guys did a lot of shady things. Before they did these things, all they cared about was their status as head of the clan.
But now that they have successfully become the new clan elders, they have finally begun to fear the purge!
"us----"
In the ancestral shrine of the Hyuga clan, three elders of the main branch huddled together, their faces ashen as if their fathers had died.
"We had no choice!"
"While Uchiha Izumi hasn't noticed us yet, we'll raid Konoha Prison tonight!"
"The Caged Bird Seal above our heads has been lifted. Whether those old fogies of the main family like it or not, we are now the main family!"
"As long as we can rescue those clan elders, whether they like it or not, they have no choice but to follow us down this dark path!"
A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of a middle-aged elder of the Hyuga clan's new main branch.
He is Tsukasa Hyuga. He does not regret becoming the head of the main family. Only after becoming the head of the main family did Tsukasa Hyuga realize what kind of hardship he had endured before.
Having experienced the feeling of being completely taken advantage of by the entire Hyuga clan, he was unwilling to give it up in the slightest!
"Can't we make peace with Uchiha Ikezumi?"
"Or we could try to persuade Lady Tsunade. If our Hyuga clan is willing to submit to her, surely Uchiha Izumi wouldn't dare to attack us?"
Another Hyuga elder made a naive statement; in fact, not only him, but another Hyuga elder held the same idea.
What absolute justice? In their eyes, absolute justice is nothing more than a name, a slogan that Uchiha Izumi uses to openly and legitimately seek personal gain under the guise of righteousness.
As long as they completely submit to Tsunade, Uchiha Izumi, as Tsunade's ally, should not attack them.
After all, they've already been dogs, so why should they die after being dogs?
"Is this how you view Uchiha Izumi?"
Hyuga Tsukasa frowned as he looked at the two elderly Hyuga elders in front of him. He didn't understand why these two old men, who had fought so fiercely for the Hyuga main family membership, were now starting to back down.
"Give it a try, at least give it a try first."
"If all else fails, we can still bring Hyuga Neji to the main branch. After all, Hyuga Neji is a follower of Uchiha Ikezumi; surely he wouldn't kill his own followers along with him, would he?"
The second Hyuga elder was explaining his plan, but little did he know that the person the Hyuga clan most wanted to kill was probably Hyuga Neji. How could he possibly enter the so-called main family?
"Insects are not worth discussing matters with!"
Hyuga Tsukasa glared fiercely at the two old men. He had made up his mind that he would go to Konoha Prison tonight no matter what. Since these two old men were so ungrateful, then they should be buried!
"Those three new main branch elders of the Hyuga clan are going to die!"
Inside the Konoha prison, Hyuga Neji looked at Hyuga Hiashi in front of him and told him that Uchiha Ikezumi had returned.
During this time, Hinata repeatedly asked Hyuga Neji to visit Hyuga Hiashi, and Neji finally learned the so-called truth from Hyuga Hiashi.
Even knowing that his father died for Hiashi Hyuga, he still couldn't forgive the so-called Caged Bird.
"They deserve to die."
Hiashi Hyuga looked at Neji Hyuga with a complicated expression. He hesitated, wondering whether he should tell Neji the biggest secret of the Hyuga clan.
After all, Hiashi Hyuga didn't know how long he would have to stay in prison, and Neji was the most talented member of the entire Hyuga clan. With the Caged Bird Seal no longer in effect, Neji would probably become the strongest member of the Hyuga clan in the future!
"I will remove the caged bird curse from you!"
After a moment of silence, Hiashi Hyuga finally made up his mind.
The secret relationships within the Hyuga clan are so vast that someone in the clan must know and bear the responsibility. And in Hyuga Hiashi's view, no one in the Hyuga clan is more suitable than Neji!
"unnecessary!"
"As long as you carve the image of a caged bird, everyone will have a caged bird in the same way; it doesn't matter whether you have one or not."
To Hiashi Hyuga's surprise, Neji Hyuga refused his help outright.
"it's out of the question!"
"The main branch of the Hyuga clan must be preserved at all costs; even one member cannot be eliminated!"
"If we were to put every member of the Hyuga clan into the Caged Bird Seal, it would mean that our entire Hyuga clan would be controlled by others!"
Hiashi Hyuga spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear, and Neji frowned deeply upon hearing Hiashi Hyuga's words.
What does it mean that if the entire Hyuga clan were all caged birds, they would be controlled by others?
Neji Hyuga could sense that Hiashi Hyuga was telling him the secrets of the Hyuga clan.
"Literally, the Hyuga clan's Caged Bird Seal isn't just to prevent others in the ninja world from coveting the Byakugan, but also to guard against people outside the ninja world coveting it!"
As soon as Hiashi Hyuga uttered his words, Neji's pupils began to tremble wildly, and even his voice trembled slightly.
"What does 'outside the ninja world' mean?"
