Chapter 359 – Return to Ninja’s World
The Otsutsuki Branch Family n members immediately came to the castle as soon as they received words from their leader. But after they arrived, the Otsutsuki Branch Family n leader didn’t give them any orders. It confused them. They were even surprised more to see the Puppets on the Moon gathered around the castle.
The Branch Family n members figured out the n leader was in danger. They still had great respect for the man as he was the one that led them to take over the Moon—making them the real master on the Moon. Now that the n leader was in danger, it’s the right time to prove their loyalty. The n leader would appreciate their help.
The castle had unique barriers. Branch Family n members’ Byakugan couldn’t see what’s going on inside the barrier. After some discussion, they sent their top teams into the castle. But the team never returned. The n member outside was getting impatient and sent a few more people, only to get the same result.
By then, the Branch Family n members realized something was wrong. They were even more anxious and sent dozens of their members at the same time. But the result was still the same. There was still no news. They were more anxious and decided to send a lot of members at once without knowing the assigned members were all defeated by Minato and his team.
Soon, the numbers of Branch Family n members dwindled into half. Their huge loss made them understand they should join together. The Branch Family n members agreed to attack together, but suddenly, the puppets around the castle simultaneously copsed.
“What...what happened? Why the puppets paralyzed?” An elder asked, his face was pale.
“Elder is the Tenseigan...” the n member beside him whispered.
The Branch Family n Elder’s expression was nervous. The Tenseigan fueled the puppets’ energy. If the puppets were paralyzed, did that mean the Tenseigan was no longer under their control? After thinking about it, he got even more nervous, so he was the n member.
The Elder saw his n members started to panic and quickly said, “Quiet! Don’t be scared! The Tenseigan is under the full control of our n Leader. There shouldn’t be any problem.”
The n members heard the Elder’s word and gradually calmed down.
“Elder, what should we do now?”
“Right now, we don’t know what’s going on in the castle. But one thing is certain. The n leader is in danger, so we should not hesitate to...”
The Elder’s word was left hanging as he saw the castle gate opened. The Main Family n member walked out behind Otsutsuki Hana. Branch Family n members were shocked at the scene. The Main Family was out of the Tenseigan’s control?
“Why are you so surprised to see us?” Hana nced with irony at the Branch Family n members.
“How did you get out of the Tenseigan’s control? What happened to our n leader?!” Branch Family Elder asked.
“He’s dead. Our kindness will only make your ambition grew bigger!” The n Leader of Otsutsuki Main Family said.
“Father, we shouldn’t wage war with the Branch Family,” Hana whispered.
“n Leader-sama, we shouldn’t let them alive. This is enough lesson to let them wander free.” The Main Family Elder said.
The Main Family n leader was hesitating. They were all descendants from Otsutsuki Hamura. But what the Branch Family had done is too terrible. If they didn’t kill them, they could plot revenge on the Main Family.
“n Leader-sama, there’s no need to kill them all. In our vige, Konoha, the Hyuga Main Family n, used a Secret Jutsu to restrain the Branch Family.” Minato said after seeing the Main Family n leader’s hesitation.
“Minato-dono, are you possibly referring to the Caged Bird? Does the Hyuga n still have this Jutsu?” the n leader asked in surprise.
“Yes, the Hyuga Main Family n still had this Jutsu.” Minato nodded.
Otsutsuki Obi, the n leader, asked him, “Did you know how to use this Jutsu?”
“To be honest, I don’t know how to use it. But Shishui knows. The Uchiha and Hyuga n are descended from the same family. Maybe he will know.” Minato nced at Shishui on his side.
Shishui smirked, “Hehe... well yeah, the Uchiha n did some research on the Caged Bird Jutsu. At that time, my n researched this Jutsu to find a way to lift the curse. The idea is that once we have an understanding of the Jutsu, we will lift the curse from the Branch Family members so they will take revenge on the Main Family who had enved them. So the Hyuga n will be extinct. It’s a pity that this research didn’t progress much in 10 years because it’s only effective on Byakugan. So, my n gave up the research. I heard from my genius grandfather, if I remember correctly, the special form of the Caged Bird is...”
After obtaining the form from Shishui, the n leader ced the curse on the Branch Family n members. Many Branch Family n membersmitted suicide rather than being a ve for the rest of their life. In the end, around 300 Branch Family n members were nted with the Caged Bird.
Otsutsuki Toneri was the only one from the Branch Family that didn’t have the Caged Bird. Under Hana’s guarantee, Otsutsuki Obi finally made an exception for the child.
That ended the conflict over the Otsutsuki n on the Moon.
Ryo and his team parted with Otsutsuki Main Family and left the Moon the next day. On their way back, Lain was feeling a bit weird about Minato. After some hesitation, she finally asked, “Minato-sama, why did you propose the Otsutsuki Main Family with the Caged Bird? I thought you hate this Jutsu?”
Minato smiled, “I hate the Jutsu because the Hyuga Main Family used it to control the Branch Family. In my opinion, both families deserved to be free and treated equally because they are a member of our vige in Konoha. That’s different for the Otsutsuki n. The Branch Family n members’ ambition is a threat to the Ninja World. They had to be restricted.”
Lain was enlightened, “I see!”
