Chapter 102 The Secret of the Main Family and the Samsara Eye
Hyuga Muneaki sighed: "At the end of the Warring States Period, several of Hyuga Tennin's children died in the war, and the last child who was about to inherit the position of clan leader also died of illness.
Seimei and I were originally twin brothers. Because of our good talents, we were adopted by Hinata Tennin as our adopted sons when we were 10 years old.
Perhaps it was because his children died in battle one after another, allowing foreigners to obtain the most precious Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, or for some other reason.
Let the Hyuga Tennin decide to divide the Hyuga clan into the main clan and the branch clan.
The clan is the true successor of the Hyuga clan and is responsible for protecting and promoting the Hyuga clan.
The branch is the guardian of the Hyuga clan and is responsible for protecting the Hyuga clan.
There can only be one successor to the clan. If the clan has multiple descendants in the same generation, only one of them can be selected to inherit the clan, and the others are all divided families.
In other words, there can only be one person in a generation who can be a clan member.
When the eldest son of the clan reaches the age of three, the members of the branch family must carve the "Caged Bird" curse seal on their foreheads. This seal can seal the Byakugan's ability. The clan family can also use this seal to control and destroy the brain nerves of the branch family members. , thereby controlling family division.
This is the fate of the family separation. Even if they die, the curse seal will not be lifted. The "caged bird" is a curse seal that goes deep into the soul, and it is also the source of internal conflicts within the Hyuga clan. "
At this time, Caiyin looked confused: "That's not right, Grandpa, if according to what you said, there can only be one person in a generation of the clan, then in addition to the clan leader's line, our line should also be divided into families, then I Shouldn’t it be considered a person who has separated from his family?”
"This involves another thing, that is my nightmare." Hinata Muneaki said bitterly:
"My younger brother Seimei and I have had a very good relationship since childhood, but when Hinata was divided into the main family and the branch family, because I was the older brother, I inherited the main family and succeeded the clan leader.
Qingming, on the other hand, wants to inherit the family division and engrave the seal of the caged bird curse.
We are obviously twin brothers, but just because I was born a few seconds before him, our fates are completely different.
Seimei's talent was much stronger than Hao, and he was already 20 years old at the time, at the peak of his powers as a ninja, and was the second master in the clan.
But even so, neither I nor he can disobey our adoptive father.
I once approached Hyuga Tennin, hoping that he would let Seimei inherit the position of clan leader and let me inherit the clan. After all, Seimei's talent is far superior to mine.
The 'caged bird' curse seal not only controls and destroys the brain nerves of the branch family members, but also limits the talents of the branch family members. The branch family can never surpass the clan family.
The amazingly talented Qingming would never accept this outcome.
However, the Hyuga Tennin said that only by inheriting according to the order of eldest and youngest, and not according to qualifications and talents, can the system of clan and branch families continue forever.
I could not disobey him and accept my 'fate', so I too was punished.
He told me a secret before he died, and then passed on the position of patriarch to me.
As for my younger brother Qingming, he committed suicide the day before I succeeded him as the clan leader and was engraved with the 'Caged Bird' curse.
This is his rebellion against ‘fate’.
He was only 20 years old that year, and his child was only a few months old.
If I could have imagined that he would do this, I would never inherit the position of patriarch.
But it's too late to say anything.
My favorite brother ended his life in such a violent way.
In order to make up for my guilt towards my brother, I adopted my brother's son, Zhengzong, and decided not to marry for the rest of my life, so that Zhengzong could inherit the clan.
Although there were objections within the clan at that time, I firmly established myself as the clan leader within two years of taking the position, and gained real power within the clan before Zheng Zong was three years old, so even if there were objections, it would be useless. "
Caiyin looked shocked. She didn't know that her grandfather had such an unknown past, but since she was sitting here now, it meant that something had changed.
Caiyin quickly figured out the key to the matter and couldn't help but said: "But you met my grandma, right?"
Hinata Muneaki's eyes lit up, a look of reminiscence appeared on his face, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he nodded with a smile:
"Yes, I met your grandma when she was in her forties, when she was 18.
She is beautiful, gentle, strong, and a true genius. Even the 'Caged Bird' curse seal cannot limit her talent.
After meeting her, she saved me and healed the pain in my heart.
So I married her and soon had your father, Tomohisa.
At that time, Masamune had inherited the position of clan leader, and his two children, Hizu and Hizashi, were already 6 years old.
Hizashi is definitely going to inherit the clan and become the next clan leader, and Hizashi has already inherited the branch clan.
Therefore, Zhijiu can only inherit the branch family as my second son.
However, Zhengzong objected to Tomohisa's inheritance and division of the family in the clan meeting at that time, and stated that he would return the position of clan leader to Tomohisa in the future.
At that time, there were great differences within the clan on this issue, and they were basically divided into two completely opposing factions.
I have to say that after having your father, I did have selfish motives.
But in the end, it was the joint efforts of me and the two generations of Zhengzong clan heads that divided the clan into two branches.
Zhijiu is one lineage, Zhengzong is one lineage.
That's why there are two lines in the clan.
However, as Masamune died of serious injuries after World War II, Tomohisa died in the Third War, and Rizu succeeded to the position of clan leader, the clan's call to abolish my lineage and reunify the clan as one became increasingly louder.
I'm alive now, and those people don't dare to force me no matter how hard they run, but once I'm gone, what will you do, Caiyin? "
Looking at her grandfather's kind and caring eyes, Ayane immediately threw herself on Hinata Muneaki's knees and said coquettishly: "No, grandpa will definitely live to be a hundred years old!"
"Haha! Don't worry, I don't dare to say it when I'm a hundred years old, but it's still okay to live for another ten years. I'm just saying this just in case." Hyuga Muneaki gently stroked Ayin's head, "Ayin, what name do you like? Qianhe’s child?”
Hearing this, Caiyin climbed up from her grandfather's knees, waving her hands with a red face. Her words were a little incoherent because of her panic: "No way, I...we are just...just good friends, Qianhe didn't follow I......"
"Okay, okay, grandpa won't ask more, but I want to ask you, have you ever thought about it. In a big clan like ours, marriage is sometimes not something you can decide on your own.
If I am no longer here, the clan will definitely arrange for you to marry someone from the branch family. At that time, the matter of your integration into the branch family can be resolved at the same time. What should you do? "
"I will definitely resist!" Caiyin said firmly: "I don't want to give in, I want to be with the person I like."
Hyuga Muneaki said solemnly: "In the history of the Hyuga clan, there are almost no records of intermarriage with foreign clans. In order to ensure the purity of the bloodline, intermarriage is basically the case.
Of course, everything has exceptions. In the final analysis, the ninja world still relies on strength.
If you really want to be with that child in the future, the pressure he will have to bear will be huge.
So becoming Hokage is very necessary. "
This time, when Hyuga Muneaki said this, Ayane did not refute, but just blushed and lowered her head, wondering what she was thinking.
Hyuga Muneaki continued: "Of course, in addition to his strength, your own strength is also very necessary.
What I am going to say below was what my adoptive father told me before he died.
Only one person in a generation knows this secret, and even Zheng Zong and Rizu I didn't tell them.
Today I want to tell you this secret. This is the biggest mystery about the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan.
Byakugan is just the starting point, and the reincarnated eye is the end! "
"Tenseigan?" Ayin looked confused. This was the first time she heard this term.
