Hokage Ryo’s Path Chapter 360 – Hyuga n’s System


    “Lain, that’s not the only reason.”


    Lain was puzzled, she turned around to her brother and asked, “What do you mean?”


    Ryoughed, “Minato nii-san did that because he wanted the Otsutsuki Branch Family not to control the Tenseigan. Byakugan engraved with a Caged Bird is damaged, and Tenseigan couldn’t approve it. The second reason is, Minato nii-san wants to make their rtionship like the Hyuga n. In another way, to avert their hate. In Konoha, the Hyuga Branch Family only maintained their fake obedience to the Main Family. If their curses were lifted one day, the Branch Family would attack the Hyuga Main Family. Because Minato nii-san engraved the Caged Bird, he will be hated. But over time, the Otsutsuki Branch Family’s hatred will be transferred to the Main Family, who enved them with Caged Bird. In case the Branch House found a way to lift the curse, their object of revenge would be on the Otsutsuki Main Family, not us.”


    After listening to her brother’s exnation, Lain only nodded. She didn’t fully understand about political matters.


    “Ryo, do you know anything about this Jutsu?”


    Ryo nced at Minato and thought, ‘It seems like Minato nii-san had a n to lift the curse seal from the Hyuga n Branch Family.’ He understood how Minato’s mind worked very well.


    “Ryo, you haven’t answered my question!” Minato continued.


    “It seems like Minato nii-san valued my opinion! Okay then, what I think about the Caged Bird Jutsu? Hmm, I think the true purpose is not about protecting the n bloodline but also holding absolute control over the Branch Family. That’s all.”


    Minato heard Ryo’s word and smiled. “It seems like we had the same ide. As far as I know, aside from the n heir, they will be branded with the Caged Bird when the heir is 3 years old. This is the case with the Hiashi and Hizashi twins.”


    After hearing Minato’s word, Ryo said with a smile. “Minato nii-san, I’m d I was born into the Yamanaka family. Our Yamanaka n’s strength and background are almost at the same level as Hyuga. But the Yamanaka n gets along very well. There’s no difference between the Main Family and the Branch Family. In my opinion, our Yamanaka n is better than Hyuga.”


    “Not just Yamanaka, Ino-Shika-Cho ns were also famous for their bad sides in Konoha,” Shishui muttered.


    Everyone was at the Kage level Ninja; they all heard his voice. Lain immediately refuted, “Well, the Uchiha n is also famous for their brother-and-brother conflict.”


    “Hahaha! Shishui! It seems like the Uchiha ns’ glorious tradition is famous in Konoha.” Ryo said while he patted Shishui’s shoulder.


    Looking at the three of them teased each other, Minato reluctantly said, “Ryo, our discussion isn’t finished! Please be serious!”


    “Ahem... sorry, Minato nii-san! These two kids distracted me.”


    Namikaze Minato waved his hand. He continued, “ording to my research with Kushina, Caged Bird’s main role is to control and destroy the Branch Family members’ brain nerves. It’s connected directly. So, after the human died, the nerve system stopped working, and the Caged Bird is lifted. In order to lift it, the brain and the nerve system have to be protected first. It should be kept secret from the Main Family. If they found out, the Branch Family members will die as soon as the Main Family activates the curse seal.”


    “Minato-sama, it seems like you’ve been nning it for a while now. We, the Uchiha n, had studied it for so many years ande to the same conclusion as you. But you should know something.”


    “What is it?”


    “So, when I read my n’s research logbook, I found that the Caged Bird can be lifted. Not like the Hyuga Main Family’s ims. The data in the logbook shows that the solution of the Caged Bird lies in the heir of the Hyuga Main Family.”


    Ryo frowned, “That made sense why they keep the Jutsu a secret. How did the Uchiha n found out about it?”


    “Well...” Shishui looked at Minato and Ryo. He hesitated, but continued speaking anyway, “At the Second Shinobi World War, our n secretly caught a member of the Hyuga Main Family.”


    The two of them were shocked. There weren’t many Hyuga Main Family members on the battlefield. They were likely protected by arge number of Branch Family members. It’s impressive how the Uchiha n could sessfully capture them.


    After a while, Minato recovered from his shock. He said, “I didn’t expect the Hyuga n had a method to lift the Caged Bird. Then things would be easier.”


    “Indeed, it’s not difficult to get this done, right? Shishui!” Ryo turned to Shishui and said this.


    Shishui nced helplessly. With a cautious and solemn tone, he asked, “Sensei, are we going to use Kotoamatsukami?”


    “Sure! It’s easier to use Kotoamatsukami to control our target than do it by force, right?”


    “Well, it’s true...but”


    Seeing Shishui’s nervousness, Ryo waved his hand and said, “Alright, I didn’t say we have to use it. But we still have to figure it out!”


    Minato nodded, “Exactly! The Main Family had enved the Branch Family with Caged Bird for years. Their hatred for the Main Family won’t disappear easily.”


    “Minato nii-san, if we couldn’t figure it out now, we can think about itter.”


    Minato frowned, “Why?”


    After contemting, “I think the Hyuga n will finish the matter without our help. The Hyuga Main Family current leader, Hiashi, is affectionate with his brother, the Branch Family leader Hizashi, right? Besides, Hiashi had 2 daughters, all of which had surpassed age 3, but he hasn’t engraved the Caged Bird yet. I think Hiashi also hates Caged Bird Jutsu. If we give him some time, he might solve this problem alone.”


    Minato looked puzzled at Ryo, “Ryo, what’s wrong with you today? You actually hoped for the problem to solve just by counting on his affection to his daughters and brother?”
