Chapter 643: Hyuga Shizuki - Let's Enjoy This Delightful Torture!
Thud!
Hyuga Shizuki leaped onto the street, her gaze sweeping over the Hyuga clan members before her, all yearning to break free from their confines.
"Divide into three groups, two-thirds of you will surround this area. It's time to settle some scores!" She commanded as she turned and advanced.
At her order, the main branch members split into two groups and spread out on both sides, sealing off the area.
And it wasn't just here; at the outer edges of the barrier, there were also some absolutely reliable branch family members on guard.
Given the arrogance of the main family, it was naturally impossible for them to have placed their people within the branch family. There was no need to worry about spies either; who would side with the main family? They had already made a rough estimate before the plan even began.
However, with such a large commotion on their side, the main family wasn't dead; they would surely notice something.
Even if they didn't notice, there were those who had been brainwashed and completely loyal to the main family who would inform them.
Thus, upon entering the core area, over a dozen main family members were surrounded by hundreds of fully armed branch family members.
"What do you think you're doing?"
Hyuga Rinmo Tsushi, the clan leader, wore an expression of utter disbelief, even losing the 'grace' of a noble family.
It was common knowledge that the Hyuga clan was one of the most traditional and conservative among all ninja clans, emulating the nobility in their emphasis on etiquette.
Now, with Hyuga Rinmo Tsushi directly breaking his composure, it was evident how intense his emotions were.
There was no choice; the situation was indeed terrifying.
All the branch family ninjas had gathered, and even with the majority dispersed in the encirclement, there were still several hundred of them, outnumbering the main family's forces by several times.
Additionally, with the barrier isolating them from the outside, it was hard not to draw parallels to the Uchiha clan's night of annihilation.
"Isn't the situation clear enough?"
Hyuga Shizuki took a step forward, voluntarily stepping out.
Now was her time to enjoy herself, and naturally, she wanted to do it personally.
Initially, her parents had given their lives to protect them, but because they had been injured, she had been blamed. If she hadn't met Touhei, she would have turned to ashes by now.
With such deep hatred, how could she not seek revenge?
Now, with the opportunity to settle this score, Hyuga Shizuki spoke with a hint of mockery in her tone:
"Since the Uchiha clan is gone, then the Hyuga clan can disappear too!"
After today, the Hyuga clan could disappear.
At the very least, there would no longer be any Hyuga in Konoha, only the Hyuga clan of the Skyguard Tower.
"Do... you want to die?"
Hyuga Rinmo Tsushi's face was filled with disbelief.
It was common knowledge that the Hyuga clan was not the Uchiha clan.
Don't be fooled by the numbers on the branch family's side; the main family truly did not take them seriously.
Once the seal was activated, numbers would be of no use.
"Father, I think they haven't witnessed our main family's might in a long time. This time, let's make them understand that the branch family will always be the branch family. Don't even think of defying our main family!"
Hyuga Ryokai, who appeared younger than Hyuga Shizuki, spoke with a lighthearted expression, showing some impatience.
He had another identity.
He was the son of the clan leader!
And he was also the one who, in the small forest, led the main family members to nearly kill Hyuga Shizuki.
Towards this person, Hyuga Shizuki felt both gratitude and hatred.
The gratitude was because it was this person who allowed her to meet the light of her life. As for the hatred, it went without saying; she wanted to tear him apart.
Now, with him standing before her, Hyuga Shizuki was thrilled.
It was good that he was here! If he wasn't here today, she might not have been able to take her revenge. Now, with her enemy right before her eyes, there was nothing more delightful than the sweetness of this revenge.
"Ha... hahaha!"
Hyuga Shizuki first chuckled, then laughed louder and louder, until she was laughing like a maniac.
At the same time, she swept her right hand across her forehead, removing the headband and the disguise from her face.
Every time she returned to the village, she had always been in disguise.
But now, at least tonight, she didn't need to disguise herself.
Astonishing!
Whoever saw Hyuga Shizuki's pure and alluring appearance, with her perfect and tempting figure, would have this thought.
"Father... she dares to rebel against us. Why not hand her over to me for punishment?"
Hyuuga Ryousuke looked at Hyuuga Shizuki in front of him and instantly had a new idea.
Slap! A heavy palm-slapping sound echoed.
"Who dares to hit... the Great Elder!"
Ryousuke was about to explode, but he saw the almost man-eating gaze of the Great Elder beside him, and then timidly cupped his face and moved aside.
In the entire Hyuuga Clan, the Great Elder may not be the clan leader, but even his own father, the clan leader, had less authority and prestige than the Great Elder. So, naturally, Ryousuke didn't dare say more.
The main family members stepped aside, creating a path for the Great Elder who had just arrived to stand at the forefront.
"So, you've been pretending all this time. Then, the Sage Mode you traded for must also be fake. No wonder no one could cultivate it successfully!"
At this moment, how could he not see that Shizuki's previous demeanor was entirely a pretense for the benefit of the main family?
"No, no, no!" Shizuki Hyuuga suppressed her laughter and explained, "Sage Mode is absolutely real; there's no deception involved!"
This point had to be clarified; she wasn't willing to tarnish the reputation of the main family.
However, she wouldn't mention the need for corresponding natural energy guidance.
After all, the initial trade was for the Sage Mode cultivation method, which didn't include the 'Hot Spring' in it.
"It seems that there's some crucial aspect of Sage Mode that hasn't been revealed. But what surprises me is that you actually flew out of the cage!"
The Great Elder's gaze fixed on Shizuki's clean forehead.
This was what shocked him the most.
The Cage Bird Seal was gone!
The seal couldn't be hidden, and at the very least, with his eyesight, he could confirm that the Cage Bird Seal on her body had completely disappeared and wasn't a pretense or hidden.
As the Great Elder spoke, the members of the main family behind him also became agitated.
"Impossible!"
"It's fake; she must have hidden it!"
"The Cage Bird Seal can't be ineffective!"
...
At this moment, the members of the main family couldn't care less about their usual arrogance; they all wanted to deny this fact.
The reason the main family was the main family was because of the Cage Bird Seal.
If the seal could be removed, it would mean destruction for the main family, so it was no wonder they reacted this way.
"Hmph, this is the so-called proud main family. Without the Cage Bird Seal, they're just like scared dogs!"
Shizuki Hyuuga looked at the disheveled state of the main family members and couldn't help but feel elated.
"Hmph, even if you can remove the Cage Bird Seal, what can you do alone? There are still others with the seal!"
Ryousuke couldn't stand seeing a mere branch family member acting so arrogantly, so he directly struck out at her.
The Cage Bird Seal was still visible on the foreheads of the other branch family members, proving that only one person had truly removed the seal, so his words carried weight.
Seeing her opponent step forward, Shizuki Hyuuga pointed her right index finger, and a transparent chakra suddenly shot out, instantly piercing Ryousuke's thigh.
Pfft! Fresh blood gushed out.
"Ah!"
"Damn it!"
"Kill her quickly!"
...
Ryousuke screamed in agony.
The pain and blood, something he had never experienced in his life, made him panic.
"This pain, you've been inflicting it on me all this time. Isn't it interesting?"
Shizuki Hyuuga spoke softly, as if they were all friends.
Don't be fooled by her gentle and obedient demeanor; her true character was cold-blooded, dark, crazy, and twisted.
Otherwise, why would the higher-ups of the Skyguard Tower subconsciously keep their distance from her?
At this moment, she was thoroughly enjoying herself.
Torturing the members of the main family brought her immense joy.
"Little Shizuki, we can make up for the past. Now that you've broken free of the Cage Bird Seal, you can even become a member of the main family or the clan leader in the future. If you're willing, we can pretend that nothing happened tonight!"
The Great Elder gritted his teeth and made a promise.
Not only did he offer the position of the main family and clan leader, but he also assured them of handling the aftermath, showing his sincerity.
A normal person would have agreed to this.
But Shizuki Hyuuga wasn't a normal person!
Her reaction instantly turned the atmosphere deathly silent.
