Chapter 167: Dawn in the Dark
Tian Country.
After a long journey, Uchiha Ye and Hinata Hizashi entered the most prosperous town in Tian Country.
"Mr. Ye, this time we have temporarily decided to rest in a small town. The information will never be leaked."
In the hotel, Uchiha Ya and Hinata Hizashi disguised themselves as wandering samurai and came from the Kingdom of Thunder. Along the way, they encountered too many chasing cloud ninjas, and they were extremely tired.
"Jōnin Hizashi, don't be so nervous. The person who will take care of us will arrive tomorrow morning."
"Accept!?"
Hinata Hizashi had a look of astonishment on his face, but Uchiha Ye showed a mocking smile and joked:
"It's been ten days since the Kumogakure incident. If no one is taking care of the village, then we Uchiha still have no one to take care of it."
Uchiha Ye's words were almost saying that this time he began not to believe in the village, and the Uchiha ninjas who had secretly contacted him came to help.
After hearing this, Hyuga Hizashi showed an envious look. The Hyuga clan regarded the branch as a tool, and the village did not treat them as human beings.
Even if Uchiha is ostracized again, at least the family will not do this to one of their own.
Because the Uchiha people really don't like it, they come out in the open, just do it, and it's done in an upright manner.
"After talking about the response, let's talk about the Hyuga clan's scapegoat!"
Suddenly, Uchiha Ye's words changed. If a stranger had used such a tone, others would have stared at him. Are you sure this is not a mockery?
But this is Uchiha, especially along the way, Hinata Hizashi has also adapted to Uchiha's unique character, which made him nod indifferently.
"Okay, but Ya-kun, you should pay attention to the way you speak. After all, you Uchiha can easily cause misunderstandings!"
To put it harshly, the way Uchiha talks can easily get him beaten!
In the communication between the two companions, Uchiha Ye chuckled and shrugged.
"Isn't this to lighten the mood? Normally I wouldn't be so in need of a beating."
The dry laughter echoed, and Hinata Hizashi's old-fashioned face had not smiled for an unknown amount of time.
The friendship between men is so pure, and the point of laughter is sometimes so low.
"We, the Hyuga clan, are what you outsiders call the scapegoat, which is also the so-called family division. It is the caged bird on our forehead that restricts us..."
Hinata Hizashi may have just experienced being abandoned and the precious bond that emerged when life was at its darkest, but he actually told a cold joke.
He said that he was a scapegoat family.
"A caged bird!"
Listening to Hinata Hizashi's calmness, as if he was used to such clan and branch families, Uchiha Ye showed a thoughtful look, then shook his head and said:
"I have read some secret information and heard that the village has secretly studied the cursed seal of the caged bird."
Looking at Hinata Hizashi's puzzled eyes, Uchiha Ye smiled and teased: "Hizashi Jounin, don't underestimate you group of scapegoats. The clan enjoys everything in the Hyuga clan, but the same The fighting power of the branch family is also the strongest.
If the caged bird can be cracked, not only can it directly split the Hyuga clan in the village, but it can also gain the loyalty of the most combat-effective Hyuga ninja. Do you think the village will not be tempted? "
What Uchiha Ye said is also the truth. The best and most difficult to split among the major families in Konoha is the Hyuga clan. As long as the caged bird can be solved, the Hyuga clan will inevitably split.
Given the personalities of the Third Hokage and his group, he would never believe it if he hadn't thought about it.
Just by cracking the caged bird, you can weaken Hinata and strengthen yourself.
"Yeah!"
When Hinata Hizashi first heard that the village was studying caged birds, he also felt a little strange, but then his calm mind told him that it must have failed.
"I heard Orochimaru say about this research. It seems that your clan discovered some clues before it even started. As a result, many people in your scapegoat clan disappeared inexplicably for a period of time."
When seeing Uchiha Ye's teasing, Hinata was speechless for a while, then looked through the window at the starry sky at night, shook his head with a lonely look and said: "The clan family generally lives in the village, and has extremely strong control. , I have never let down my guard, even if my family has been fighting on the front line..."
Under Hinata Hizashi's description, the clan kept a close eye on the branch, fearing that they would lose control and be too powerful. Uchiha Ye shook his head after hearing this.
"It's really a deformed family concept. So far in the development of the ninja world, even some nobles have separate clans, but they are not like your Hyuga clan. They treat the clans like they are slaves."
As the two chatted, Hinata Hizashi also opened his heart about this incident and calmly talked about his family's situation.
It would be false to say that there is no resistance, but under the control of the caged bird for a long time, their inner struggle is more erased.
Uchiha Ye could naturally see it and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "The scapegoat's son is still a scapegoat. As you said, you can't even decide on marriage after your family is separated. You must get married and have children."
If he, Hyuga Hizashi, had already accepted his fate, but when he heard that he would get married and have children in the future, his pupils suddenly shrank, and a look of struggle and resentment flashed across his face.
Once a slave is made a caged bird, the family will be divided for generations, and the sons of slaves will remain slaves.
This is the fate of the caged bird!
The unwilling anger had been buried. Hinata Hizashi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Ye-kun, can you tell me what you or Lord Orochimaru know about caged birds!"
Through the communication between the two, he knew that Uchiha Ye had more contact with his identity, and he also knew about the relationship between the other party and Orochimaru.
And Orochimaru is now the deputy minister of the root, so he naturally knows much more than him.
"The caged bird, I heard what Orochimaru said, it was listed as a research project at the beginning, but because there was no material, and there was a more important wood escape plan, it was shelved...
But based on a preliminary understanding, although it is difficult to crack the caged bird, if the original seal is used, it will be relatively easy to seal it next..."
With a calm look on his face, Uchiha Ye spoke about his preliminary understanding of the caged bird.
Nowadays, in their alliance of wealthy families, the relationship between Senju and Uchiha is relatively strong, which makes the Hyuga clan a bit intriguing.
The branch family will be beaten to death, and the branch family will take the blame if something goes wrong. Anyway, the main family only enjoys the benefits.
With such an unstable Hyuga clan, he might as well directly cooperate with the branch family. If he can really succeed, then the powerful fighting force of the branch family will be tied to his chariot.
"Yejun, you are a person who has the ambition to do great things!"
Hinata Hizashi is not stupid. He can naturally analyze Uchiha Ye's intention when he talks about the caged bird. It is obvious that he is ambitious.
Thinking about Uchiha Ye's identity again, he wants to become the leader of the Uchiha clan! Even paving the way for himself to become Hokage in the future.
"Ambition!?"
Regarding these two words, Uchiha Ye shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly: "For the Zong family, it is ambition for you to break up the fate of your family. For Naruto, it is also ambition for Uchiha to become Hokage. Ambition, then what is real ambition?”
Faced with this question, Hinata Hizashi was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head and said hoarsely:
"Breaking destiny is freedom for us to separate!"
After hearing this, Uchiha Ye also smiled and nodded: "For the same reason, becoming Hokage is our due right as a Konoha ninja, not exclusion!"
At this moment, the two seemed to feel the same way, both wanting to break the unwilling fate.
"Okay, no matter what you say, it's nonsense. Let's study it carefully after returning to the village. After all, the best in the sealing art village is Kushina, and I can't do it."
Uchiha Ye chuckled and shrugged, and was about to stand up immediately. Seeing this scene, Hinata Hizashi asked doubtfully:
"Are you going out now?"
"Why don't we go out? We are samurai. Since we have come to a prosperous town, if we don't enjoy it or drink, do you think it will make people suspicious?"
Uchiha Ye's teasing voice made Hinata Hizashi smile dumbly, and then nodded: "Okay." "Let's go, I'll treat you tonight. After all, we Uchiha have heard about the division of the Hyuga clan. Yes, after completing the task, in addition to the village’s commission, the Zong family will also take a commission, tsk tsk.”
Which pot should not be opened? Under Uchiha Ye's teasing smile, Hinata was almost speechless for a while.
However, his heart was relaxed. The separation of the caged bird and his family was a taboo in his heart. It was the last thing he wanted to mention. Instead, he was filled with relaxation here.
It wasn't until midnight that the bustling town gradually became quiet, with only some brightly lit places still shining to welcome guests.
"Bitch! Damn it, I'll pay you to death if I buy you, you losers!"
Outside a high-end tavern, a fat businessman swung the whip in his hand angrily. In front of him were eight pale and trembling little girls.
As the sound of the whip echoed, the businessman, although angry, controlled the whip so as not to hurt the girls' faces. There were other colleagues beside him who also shook their heads helplessly.
"Okay, who knew that the price of white people would change at any time. Before, these white slaves who could cultivate chakra were still worth some money, but suddenly the direction of the Land of Fire changed."
"Who says it's not the case? Now all the nobles of the Fire Country are proud to buy black slaves. On the other hand, no one cares about white people at all."
"Hey, I can only go to the Kingdom of Thunder to buy some black slaves next time I venture out..."
Amid the murmurs of discussion, a samurai who happened to walk out of the tavern found a familiar store, and a bright red light flashed in his pupils.
"The conflict between black and white just broke out in Hidden Cloud Village, and the Fire Country reacted immediately. I have to say that Danzo's reaction was fast enough."
Uchiha murmured to himself at night, knowing that this must be the method of Shimura Danzo, the Dark Ninja World.
After all, even if the third generation formulated a task like this that would affect his reputation, he would not execute it himself, otherwise why would he need black gloves?
Outside the dilapidated window is a moon symbolizing freedom, and inside the window is a cell room.
"The old guy is also blind, and he actually bought back you losers."
Outside the dark and damp fence, a fat middle-aged woman cursed dissatisfiedly, while the eight girls in the cell were trembling and maintaining a certain posture.
"Listen up, you losers. What I've given you is the skills to climb up the corporate ladder and serve men in the future. If you are lucky enough to be bought by a wealthy family, you may be able to climb up the corporate ladder with this method.
If you are unlucky, tsk tsk, then you can only ask for your own blessings..."
It was not until they were exhausted and the fat woman left that the group of girls in the cell became limp and could rest for a while, while letting out bursts of suppressed cries.
"Sammy is okay."
Mabuyi, who usually has the most gentle personality, has now become the eldest sister, giving stability to Samui and Yukito.
However, the eyes of the two women were filled with tears, especially Yumu's, which was filled with hatred.
"Revenge! I will definitely work hard to practice. When I become a powerful ninja, I will return to Yunyin Village to kill all these niggas."
At the same time, young Samyi also nodded with hatred in his eyes.
"I will never forget this hatred in my life! Black people deserve to die!"
The three little girls relied on each other. In the past half month, they had experienced the darkest moment in their lives.
First they were bullied by their fellow villagers, then discriminated against and ridiculed for their skin color, and then they were sold to human traffickers by their fellow villagers.
Especially when the businessman took them away from Yunyin Village, they had already shouted for help, and even revealed that they were students preparing to take the ninja school examination this year.
But after the businessman took out his driving license and revealed the identity of the slave who sold him the slave, they witnessed the indifferent and indifferent eyes of the black guard at Yunyin Village.
Seeing the hatred looks in Samui and Yukito's eyes, Mabuyi was calmer, her hatred was suppressed in her heart.
"Okay, now what we have to do is take a good rest and pray that we will be bought by the same person and then we can still be together."
Under Mabuyi's sad look, this period of time had a huge impact on their outlook on life.
There was already a big conflict between black and white in the village. She had a dark complexion, her mother was white, and her father didn't know who she was, so she was looked down upon even more.
"If we are separated, don't worry I will find you one day, and then we will return to the land we once had..."
Under the comfort of Mabuyi's numb eyes, although they knew it was almost impossible, the only thing supporting them in their hearts was hatred.
However, at this moment, a pair of scarlet lights appeared under the moonlight.
"What will you do if you have the opportunity to return to your homeland in the future!?"
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded in the cell where they were imprisoned. The three girls, who were originally drowsy, and the other five white girls leaning against the wall, shuddered.
At some point, a figure appeared on the chair outside the cell where they were imprisoned, looking at them indifferently.
"I'm going to kill all the niggas!"
Just when all the girls were in a daze, a firm voice came, and it turned out to be the calmest Mabuyi.
This also made Uchiha Ye look at this Mabuyi with some curiosity. In the original work, he could become Raikage's secretary, especially with the talent for space ninjutsu, and he was also his favorite person.
Facing Uchiha Ye's curious gaze, the young Mabuyi swallowed nervously and forced herself to calm down.
"Sir, I recognize the forehead protector on your neck. You are a ninja of Konoha, and we are all children from Cloud Hidden Village who can cultivate chakra talents. Being sold proves that we are all being persecuted..."
Some talents are really born. For example, Mabuyi showed a calm mind at a young age. No wonder this one was entrusted with important tasks in the end.
As Mabuyi explained, she hurriedly pulled the lapels of the two companions secretly. Yumu and Samui also reacted and nodded hurriedly: "After we were sold, Yunyin Village It is no longer our home, we are all homeless, please take us in, we will become your most loyal tools!"
The remaining five white girls also saw the glimmer of hope in the darkness, and they all nodded tremblingly with tears in their eyes:
"Sir, we are not afraid of hardship. Please train us into sharp tools."
In the darkest moment of their lives, when hope suddenly appeared, they were willing to be trained as tools, and at least they had a chance for revenge.
Once you become a slave, you will always be at the bottom.
"It's a tool! Maybe it's also an interesting thing."
At this time, the corners of Uchiha Ye's mouth slowly raised, revealing a charming smile. However, the next moment, under their shocked and desperate eyes, this figure walked towards the door.
At this time, a ray of moonlight shone down, and when they looked back, the three magatama in their eye sockets rotated, and it was clearly reflected in their pupils.
"Have a good night's rest. Someone will buy you out early tomorrow morning. From now on, you will be my tools at Uchiha Night."
Originally, when they looked at the departing figures, they were already in despair, and the dawn in the darkness was about to fade away. However, suddenly this ray of dawn turned around and gave them hope again.
The ups and downs of life, especially in the darkest moments, when their hearts collapsed and reorganized, have been deeply imprinted on Uchiha Ye Guanghui's figure.
Especially under this ray of moonlight, they looked like gods under the moonlight, full of hope and wanting to take them away.
This scene was like Deidara seeing Itachi under the Buddha's light and almost being fascinated by it.
Drawing on various fascination for capable children in Naruto, tools seem to be very attractive in Naruto.
