“You... what... what are you trying to do?!” asked Elder Aoyama as an ominous premonition appeared in his heart when he saw Kuroto’s smirk, he feared that Hyuga Kuroto wanted to rebel, and if that were to happen he may not be able to fight back. But upon thinking of the Caged Bird Cursed Seal implanted in Kuroto’s forehead, the fear in his heart subsided and anger surged.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
‘How dare Hyuga Kuroto–a member of the branch family dare to be so disrespectful to us?’ with such a thought, Elder Aoyama raised his hands in order to activate the Cage Bird Cursed Seal.
Whoosh!
However, before he could weave even the first-hand sign, he felt Hyuga Kuroto appearing in front of him with a ghostly speed that he couldn’t keep up with and slammed his gut.
Bang!
“You!?” This was all Elder Aoyama could exclaim before he collapsed on the ground, as if lifeless. Of course, he was neither dead nor unconscious, Kuroto made sure that Elder Aoyama remained conscious so that he witnessed everything.
“What are you doing?!”
“How dare you?!”
The other two elders exclaimed and wanted to activate the Cage Bird Cursed seal, however, before they could, Kuroto stretched his hands, grabbed both of them by their necks, and yanked them into each other.
Bang!
While crushing the head of Elder Aoyama with his right foot, and holding Elder Fukiage and Elder Sada by their necks, Kuroto looked at the Patriarch of the Hyuga Clan, and asked in a deep voice, “Do you have something to say Hiashi-sama?”
“I don’t remember giving you permission to speak, so stay quiet!” said Kuroto in a cold tone, and threw Elder Fukiage aside.
Bang!
Elder Fukiage crashed into the wooden wall of the hall with a loud bang and collapsed on the ground, it seemed several bones in his body were broken.
Still conscious, Elder Fukiage again tried to use this opportunity to activate the Caged Bird Cursed Seal, however, he was horrified to find out that he couldn’t even mold his chakra, ‘My chakra?’ and this wasn’t the end as the very next moment, a sudden pain appeared in Elder Fukiage’s heart that caused the old man to wail in pain.
Kuroto smirked looking at Elder Fukiage’s state.
At this time, Hiashi took a deep breath to calm the fear in his heart, and asked Kuroto, “Kuroto-kun... are you... trying to destroy the Hyuga Clan?”
Kuroto shook his head, and explained with a smile, “Don’t be foolish Patriarch-sama... why would I do something so foolish? All I am doing is just giving a warning to the main family to stay within their limits... otherwise...”
Elder Sada... who was still held by Kuroto spoke, “If... if something were to happen to the main family... the Hyuga Clan will disappear as well! The branch family is nothing without the main family!”
Kuroto looked at Elder Sada and stated, “That’s your misconception because the way I see it, it’s the other way around. Even if something unfortunate were to happen to the main family, the branch family would continue to exist... in fact, the Hyuga Clan would prosper more in that scenario... however, if the branch family were to disappear, the main family would be destroyed as well... because there would be no one to protect you fools... And to be honest, the way things are going... I would be very willing to see that happen... What do you say Patriarch-sama... would you want me to try and verify my conjecture... whether the branch family can really survive and prosper in this Shinobi World after the sudden and unexpected disappearance of the main family?”
Hearing Kuroto’s gentle but cruel words, the hearts of everyone in the meeting hall were frozen... especially the elders and patriarch from the main family, they were horrified. Even Hiashi didn’t expect Kuroto to be so indifferent toward the clan.
And what’s more surprising is that no one from the branch family stepped forward to stop Kuroto!
