·····Requesting flowers·········
Everyone was astonished that Hizashi had actually come back to life.
But many felt joy, because most of their older family members who had separated from the family had not survived.
Without a leader, everyone felt lost and helpless.
The appearance of the daily change energized many of the people who had separated from their families.
"Hyuga Teru, come here."
Asahi Takashi waved.
Hyuga Teru came to stand in front of Hizashi.
"What do you want to do?"
The sir asked softly.
"I..."
Hyuga Teru's eyes reddened; Hizashi had always taken great care of his clansmen.
He and his younger brother, Hinata Asahi, had received help from Hizashi on several occasions.
This simple greeting immediately evoked memories of the past for him.
"Lord Hizashi, my brother is gone..."
Hyuga Teru choked up as he said something and then burst into tears.

The group of people behind him were also deeply saddened by the loss of their loved ones, and they all shed tears upon seeing this scene.
Hizashi gently patted Hinata Teru's head:
"Alright, I understand. Even if your brother is gone, you can't do anything foolish. Otherwise, how am I supposed to explain it to your father?"
Hyuga Teru wiped away his tears and looked at Hizashi, saying:
"Lord Hizashi, what's wrong...?"
After all, they had indeed seen Hizashi lying lifeless on the ground earlier.
Of course, it was precisely because Hizashi died that these branch family members surrounded the main family's Hizashi and others.
Hiji shook his head and did not answer.
Some things don't need to be explained to subordinates, especially since he himself can't explain what happened.
He asked, "Is Yong here?"
The brave man was right next to him and immediately replied, "Sir, I'm here."
He was overjoyed to see that Hizashi had come back to life.
The entire branch urgently needs a leader, otherwise it cannot continue to operate.
The daily officer calmly gave instructions:
"Send a few people out to keep watch, and don't let anyone know what's going on below."
"As ordered!"
Yongren quickly arranged for personnel and returned only after ensuring the safety of the surrounding area.
Richa announced to all branch family members:
"This incident occurred because the fourth elder of the main family, Hyuga Kaito, had his body controlled by the enemy."
"Afterwards, this controlled Kaito conspired with the rogue ninja Shimura Danzo to commit a series of atrocities."
"That's the background. As for the consequences, I think everyone knows what they are."
"Next, I will tell you all the decisions the Hokage has made regarding the Hyuga clan." (Death)
Chapter 292 The Caged Bird! Hyuga 9 Liu ⑷ Feed 60 Days! Kill!
"As everyone knows, the root of this dispute lies in the institutional issues between our main family and branch families."
"The Hokage believes that our conflict stems from the 'Caged Bird' system."
"Therefore, he demanded that the main family must abandon the 'caged bird' mark."
After a brief silence, the scene erupted in chaos.
"Lord Hizashi! This is impossible! How could the main family be willing to give up the 'Caged Bird'?"
"Yes, how could this ancestral precept be abolished after so many years?"
The moment Hijiri uttered a single, understated sentence, the entire room fell silent once more:
"Because if the main family does not give up the 'caged bird', all its members will be executed!"
The Hyuga clan is different from the Uchiha clan.
Although their Byakugan also needs to be awakened to function, this is simply a natural process that develops over time. Even children with less talent, like "Zero 43," were able to awaken their Byakugan before entering the Ninja Academy.
The specific function of the white eye will not be elaborated here.
In short, the Hyuga clan follows a path of universal conscription, with every member receiving training to become a ninja, though their skill levels vary.
After this conflict, only 13 members of the clan survived, or 12 including the elderly and children.
The division of the family resulted in the loss of 65 lives, but nearly two hundred people remained.
Although women from outside the clan sometimes marry into the family, in most cases they can only join as members of a collateral branch. And such cases are extremely rare.
Due to their significant genetic advantages, all offspring born from the Hyuga bloodline will inevitably possess the ability to awaken the Byakugan.
For this reason, the main family has long sought to suppress the branch families in order to prevent this power from leaking out.
However, the situation has changed now—the remaining members of the clan are all useless.
Therefore, the Hokage directly ordered the abolition of the "Caged Bird" system, which was tantamount to stripping the main family of its power.
Once the "caged bird" concept is abandoned, after several generations, there will be no longer any distinction between the main family and branch families; only one clan will exist together.
Even as the leader of Konoha, the Hokage typically does not interfere with the internal rules of individual clans. The Hyuga clan has maintained this system since ancient times.
However, this very tradition led to Konoha suffering heavy losses, and even the Hokage lost his life in the disaster.
The outside world does not know exactly how the Third Hokage died.
All that is known is that he has passed away.
Richa continued:
"If the main family is unwilling to compromise, the Hokage will take measures to directly execute those stubborn elements."
"In this way, we will become the sole survivor, and similar tragedies will not happen again."
Comparatively speaking, those who split up their families tend to have more open-minded and flexible thinking.
Especially the current Fifth Hokage—Orochimaru—is no pushover.
Since he made the promise, he will definitely keep his word.
If he weren't worried about losing the support of his branch families and thus weakening his own power, he probably wouldn't have hesitated for long before taking action to crack down on the die-hards.
Orochimaru knew very well that once the 'Caged Bird' was released, the future direction of loyalty would be uncertain.
Therefore, if the main family still intends to control the branch families, it will face the risk of a complete purge.
To save their lives, the main family had no choice but to agree.
After hearing this analysis, some people suddenly understood, while others remained confused.
A member of the clan asked about the sun's movement:
"Can we finally get rid of our 'caged bird' situation?"
Risha shook his head and said:
"Not yet, but the Hokage promised that anyone who uses this ability will be punished immediately."
Upon hearing this, some of the people present appeared somewhat disappointed.
But the thought that their children would no longer need to bear that mark filled them with hope.
However, a considerable number of faces did not show much of a smile.
These people are the family members of the most direct victims in this struggle.
For them, even abolishing the "caged bird" system wouldn't bring the dead back to life; they could no longer find a reason to serve their family.
……
Of course, Hizashi took in all these expressions.
He said, "In the days to come, please believe that we will help everyone return to a normal life as soon as possible."
"If anyone is still immersed in grief and unable to pull themselves out, they can come into the room and have a heart-to-heart talk."
"Everyone else, please disperse now."
Then, Rizashi turned and walked into the house.
Hinata Teru and his clansmen exchanged glances and then entered the training room.
The room is spacious enough to accommodate around seventy adults.
After everyone had gathered, an unexpected person appeared—Hiashi Hyuga...
As the clan leader, Hiashi has always given people a stern impression.
When he appeared before the crowd, the atmosphere became extremely delicate.
Those who had initially demanded an explanation from Hiashi found that he was genuinely prepared to cancel "The Caged Bird Separation," and their hatred lessened considerably.
Standing on the high place, Hiashi spoke:
"Fellow countrymen, the root cause of this disaster is actually our manipulated fourth brother—Haidou..."
"I really didn't want things to turn out this way."
"I won't go into the specifics of how to handle this matter."
