Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

“You… what… what are you trying to do?!” asked Elder Aoyama as an ominous premonition appeared in his heart when he saw Kuroto’s smirk, he feared that Hyuga Kuroto wanted to rebel, and if that were to happen he may not be able to fight back. But upon thinking of the Caged Bird Cursed Seal implanted in Kuroto’s forehead, the fear in his heart subsided and anger surged.

‘How dare Hyuga Kuroto–a member of the branch family dare to be so disrespectful to us?’ with such a thought, Elder Aoyama raised his hands in order to activate the Cage Bird Cursed Seal.

Whoosh!

However, before he could weave even the first-hand sign, he felt Hyuga Kuroto appearing in front of him with a ghostly speed that he couldn’t keep up with and slammed his gut.

Bang!

“You!?” This was all Elder Aoyama could exclaim before he collapsed on the ground, as if lifeless. Of course, he was neither dead nor unconscious, Kuroto made sure that Elder Aoyama remained conscious so that he witnessed everything.

“What are you doing?!”

“How dare you?!”

The other two elders exclaimed and wanted to activate the Cage Bird Cursed seal, however, before they could, Kuroto stretched his hands, grabbed both of them by their necks, and yanked them into each other.

Bang!

While crushing the head of Elder Aoyama with his right foot, and holding Elder Fukiage and Elder Sada by their necks, Kuroto looked at the Patriarch of the Hyuga Clan, and asked in a deep voice, “Do you have something to say Hiashi-sama?”

Hearing Kuroto’s question, Hiashi–who was about to subconsciously activate the Cage Bird Cursed Mark to restrain Kuroto–lowered his hands silently. His intuition told him that if he tried to activate the Cage Bird Cursed Mark, an unpredictable disaster would befall the main family of the Hyuga Clan. As a result, he remained silent and didn’t dare to stop Kuroto from doing what he was doing.

Seeing Hiashi’s silence, Kuroto mocked, “As I thought… you really don’t have the courage to go through with it… Always staying under the protection of the branch family, you have lost all your edge.”

Even in the canon, when faced with the Village’s decision to surrender the person who killed Kumo’s representative in order to quell Kumo’s anger because Konoha didn’t want to continue the war, Hiashi didn’t have enough courage to stay rigid and accepted the village’s decision that led to the unneeded sacrifice of his younger brother Hizashi.

Later, when it came to Hinata’s marriage after she married Naruto, Hiashi broke the centuries-old tradition and didn’t implant the Caged Bird Cursed Seal on Hinata, and Hinata’s daughter Himawari.

While still stepping on the head of Elder Aoyama, Kuroto said to Hiashi in an indifferent tone, “For the people who have any opinion in regards to my disciple’s actions… I am going to be straight with you… I see nothing wrong with what he did… his decision may not have been the best, and it may not have been well thought out… however, I am proud of his decision… because he had the courage to face an enemy whose mere presence is more than enough to cower the likes of you!

And if you care so much about the life of Hinata… then why even send her to the Ninja Academy? The very meaning of sending her to the Ninja Academy means she isn’t going to be part of the main family in the future, she is going to be part of the branch family, isn’t that right? So why care about whether Neji protected her or not?”

“I–…!” Hiashi seemed to want to say something, however, he found that no words came to his mouth.

Kuroto snorted at Hiashi’s silence, and continued, “I know that the main family of the Hyuga Clan only want some obedient and submissive dogs who don’t have their own thought process so that they can be controlled easily.

I agree that this system may have worked in the past, however, it won’t work in this era, because times are changing.

I don’t care what are the opinions of you old folks, but my opinion is different, and I believe that under the leadership of arrogant fools like you, the proud Hyuga Clan has become nothing more than hollow, and doesn’t even have enough power to protect itself.”

Hearing Kuroto’s words, Elder Fukiage who was held by Kuroto tried to argue, “That has nothing to do–…!” but his words came to a stop as Kuroto tightened his grip around Elder Fukiage’s neck.

“I don’t remember giving you permission to speak, so stay quiet!” said Kuroto in a cold tone, and threw Elder Fukiage aside.

Bang!

Elder Fukiage crashed into the wooden wall of the hall with a loud bang and collapsed on the ground, it seemed several bones in his body were broken.

Still conscious, Elder Fukiage again tried to use this opportunity to activate the Caged Bird Cursed Seal, however, he was horrified to find out that he couldn’t even mold his chakra, ‘My chakra?’ and this wasn’t the end as the very next moment, a sudden pain appeared in Elder Fukiage’s heart that caused the old man to wail in pain.

Kuroto smirked looking at Elder Fukiage’s state.

At this time, Hiashi took a deep breath to calm the fear in his heart, and asked Kuroto, “Kuroto-kun… are you… trying to destroy the Hyuga Clan?”

Kuroto shook his head, and explained with a smile, “Don’t be foolish Patriarch-sama… why would I do something so foolish? All I am doing is just giving a warning to the main family to stay within their limits… otherwise…”

Elder Sada… who was still held by Kuroto spoke, “If… if something were to happen to the main family… the Hyuga Clan will disappear as well! The branch family is nothing without the main family!”

Kuroto looked at Elder Sada and stated, “That’s your misconception because the way I see it, it’s the other way around. Even if something unfortunate were to happen to the main family, the branch family would continue to exist… in fact, the Hyuga Clan would prosper more in that scenario… however, if the branch family were to disappear, the main family would be destroyed as well… because there would be no one to protect you fools… And to be honest, the way things are going… I would be very willing to see that happen… What do you say Patriarch-sama… would you want me to try and verify my conjecture… whether the branch family can really survive and prosper in this Shinobi World after the sudden and unexpected disappearance of the main family?”

Hearing Kuroto’s gentle but cruel words, the hearts of everyone in the meeting hall were frozen… especially the elders and patriarch from the main family, they were horrified. Even Hiashi didn’t expect Kuroto to be so indifferent toward the clan.

And what’s more surprising is that no one from the branch family stepped forward to stop Kuroto!
