Chapter 46: The Hyuga Clan of This Ninja World is Sick!

"I am not Karin's lover... and neither is Kakashi!

Who exactly married Karin?!

Damn it! Damn it all! This world... Kakashi failed, yet I still don't have a chance!

All of this!

It's that damn Itachi Uchiha's fault! Otherwise, I would have definitely married Karin by now in this world!

That damn bastard! I'm going to kill him! Kill him!"

Obito of the Empire was raging mad inside.

But at the same time, he was extremely curious about who had married Karin, so he later went to her home...

And then...

"No!!!! Noooooo!!!! It can't be! Why?! Why is Karin also dead?! What's wrong with this world?! Ahhhhhh!!!

I don't believe it! I refuse to believe it!!!"

In front of an old apartment building, Obito of the Empire roared to the heavens, blood-red tears streaming from his eyes. Finally, his figure spun and vanished without a trace.

Leaving only an elderly couple looking at each other in confusion.

"What's wrong with that young man? Karin passed away twenty years ago... Why is he so surprised?"

"Maybe he was a foreigner she knew from a mission in her younger days, and he came to visit Konoha for the first time today, remembering Karin... Perhaps that's why he came here..."

"Karin... our poor daughter..."

As the elderly couple spoke, their eyes grew moist.

Unknowingly, their minds drifted back to the memory of their once obedient and adorable daughter.

On the other hand.

Neji of the Empire had a smile on his face as he strolled towards the Hyuga clan's residential area.

He wanted to see the Hyuga clan of this world, his counterpart in this world, and his beloved younger sisters, Hinata and Hanabi, as well as the rest of the clan. He wondered if they were as happy and wonderful as the ones in his world.

As he drew closer to the Hyuga residential area, Neji of the Empire occasionally caught glimpses of passersby, some of whom glanced at the Hyuga compound with envious and jealous tones in their voices:

"Wow! The Hyuga clan's houses are so grand... I wonder when we'll be able to live in such houses."

"The Hyuga clan is Konoha's number one clan. We ordinary folks should just forget about it..."

"I wish we were part of the Hyuga clan."

"But... if we were in the Hyuga clan, it would be better to be in the main family. It would be miserable to be in a branch family!"

"Huh? You mean the caged bird? Ah... that's tough."

Conversations like these filled Neji of the Empire with immense joy.

In this world, was the Hyuga clan the most powerful clan, surpassing even the Senju and Uchiha clans?

Was this because in this world, the Senju clan lacked an emperor, and the Uchiha clan had a lower average level?

Although it was impolite to think this way, it brought a surprising amount of happiness!

However, what nonsense was this about a caged bird and the misery of branch families? The Hyuga clan was the most united and loving clan!

Closer! Even closer!

Oh! I see the children of the Hyuga clan, and their Byakugan is so beautiful!

Wait... what are they doing?

In an instant.

Neji of the Empire stood rooted to the spot, his eyes fixed on a scene in the distance.

There, a Hyuga child of around ten years old was clutching his head, writhing and howling in pain.

In front of him stood another child, looking down at him with an air of arrogance. Several indifferent adult Hyugas accompanied him.

"Ahhhhh! It hurts! It hurts so much! Help! Someone, please help me! It hurts so bad! Ahhhh!"

The child on the ground screamed in agony.

However, one of the indifferent adult Hyuga men looked at him with disdain and said:

"Hyuga Takeji! Have you forgotten your place? How dare you injure the young master of the main family, Lin?"

"Ugh... We... we were just sparring... Young Master Lin... Ahhh... He told me to go all out... I... Ahhh! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I won't dare to do it again! Please forgive me!"

The child on the ground was in agony, begging for mercy with tears streaming down his face.

"Hmph! You despicable creature! I was just caught off guard! Otherwise, do you think you could have hurt me?"

The child in the middle of the guards spoke with an annoyed expression.

As he finished speaking, he delivered a heavy kick to the begging child's waist.

"Ahhh! Young Master Lin! Young Master Lin... please spare me... I can't take it anymore..." The child on the ground continued to scream in pain.

The smile on Imperial Neji's face faded, and a vein popped out on his forehead as he quickly strode forward, scooping the suffering child into his arms and tapping a few points on his body.

Only then did the child, who had been howling in agony, stop screaming and instead offer a weak smile. "Thank you... big brother..."

As he finished speaking, the child closed his eyes and passed out!

"!"

Crack, crack, crack...

Imperial Neji's teeth were chattering, and he turned to face Young Master Lin and the two adult Hyugas, his eyes fixed on them as he roared, "What were you doing just now? Why were you bullying such a cute child? What has he done to deserve this kind of torture? Answer me!"

"Huh?"

The Hyuga clan members looked at the raging Imperial Neji, their hearts skipping a beat as they took in his strong, tall frame and the veins popping out on his forehead, a clear sign of his anger.

"Didn't you hear what I said just now? This guy, as my servant, dared to take advantage of my momentary lapse in attention and injure me!" The Hyuga youth known as Young Master Lin replied with displeasure.

"Servant? You mean this Hyuga clan youngster is your servant?" Imperial Neji asked, his face filled with disbelief.

"Of course he's a servant! Young Master Lin is from the main family of the Hyuga clan, and we are all just branch families, servants to Young Master Lin!" One of the adult Hyuga men stated firmly.

"Servants... the branch families are servants to the main family... Why? Why would the branch families be servants to the main family?" Imperial Neji asked, his expression bewildered.

"It shouldn't be like this... The Hyuga clan should be the most united and friendly clan, shouldn't they? How could there be something as backward as servants... This is impossible! It can't be!" Imperial Neji murmured, his eyes gradually turning red.

"Strange fellow! It's none of your business how our Hyuga clan handles its affairs. We don't need you, an outsider, meddling!" One of the adult Hyuga branch family members frowned and spoke up.

"Outsider!? Outsider..." Huff, huff, huff... Huff, huff, huff..." Imperial Neji breathed heavily, a sense of oppression weighing on him.

"Young Master! This guy is trouble! We should leave quickly!" One of the branch family members frowned and urged.

"Hmph! This is Hyuga territory! Does he dare to cause trouble here?" The young master from the main family scoffed in disdain.

"Pfft, pfft..." Imperial Neji continued to breathe heavily, his face grim as he turned and walked away.

He began to ask around about the Hyuga clan in this world, and soon he learned everything! Caged bird, main family, branch families...

Imperial Neji looked up at the sky, the once clear blue now seemingly clouded over, causing him to furrow his brow.

"The Hyuga clan of this world... they're sick," he muttered to himself, his eyes glazing over.

And then, with a whoosh, a masked ninja appeared beside Imperial Neji.

"Are you Mr. Neji? The Hokage would like to see you."

"Yes, I am Neji. Lead the way, and I will accompany you to see the Hokage." Imperial Neji lowered his head, his eyes wild, but when he raised his head again, his expression was back to normal, and he followed the masked ninja away.

On another note, Imperial Rock Lee, who was still searching for Maito Gai and Little Rock Lee, and Imperial Obito, who had escaped from the Nohara family, were also found by the Anbu and taken to meet the Hokage.
