Chapter 362 The So-Caged Bird
Chapter 362 The So-Caged Bird
The white clouds and green leaves fell silent.
Hinata Natsuya lay on the bed with her eyes closed, the sudden silence around her making her even more nervous.
Although she knew Baiyun Qingye wouldn't hurt her, nervousness was an instinct.
She was just a girl in her early twenties.
Lying with your eyes closed on the bed of a vigorous young man, it's hard not to have some wicked thoughts.
The next moment, she felt as if her headband had been removed. Her body trembled slightly, and a wave of panic washed over her. She instinctively tried to open her eyes.
"Lord Aoba..."
"Don't be afraid, it's not ugly."
Bai Yunqingye gently comforted her, placing her hand on the other's forehead and lightly stroking the mark of the caged bird.
A wave of warm chakra soothed her mind.
This action temporarily calmed Hinata Natsu's panic.
Silence fell again.
Without realizing it, Hinata Natsu seemed to have fallen asleep.
Only occasionally could one hear Baiyun Qingye's voice saying "I see" in one's ear.
Although it was only a morning, he had already discerned some clues about the caged bird by using his Reincarnation Eye and Spirit Transformation Technique.
The essence of the caged bird is Yin escape.
It is mainly divided into three parts: one part is in the optic nerve, the second part is in the brain's nervous system, and the third part covers the soul, connecting the optic nerve and the brain's nervous system.
This is precisely the key that the Hyuga main family uses to control the Caged Bird.
Whenever a member of the main family who has mastered the Caged Bird Seal performs the technique, his chakra will resonate with the chakra that makes up the third part of the Caged Bird Seal.
This triggers the first two parts, damaging the optic nerve and the brain's nervous system, thereby destroying the whites of the eyes.
When a member of a branch family dies, their soul experiences problems, and the automatic destruction of the Byakugan is based on this.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, as long as the curse mark that acts on the soul is removed, the Caged Bird Seal will truly become a means of protecting the Hyuga clan.
Based on this, Baiyun Qingye had actually come up with a rather simple and direct solution.
That is to directly seal that part of the soul using a sealing technique.
If the main clan's ninjas cannot use the Caged Bird Seal to resonate with the Caged Bird's chakra and cannot sense the Caged Bird Seal, then they naturally cannot use it.
However, this sealing technique does not work on the brain and eyes, but rather on the soul.
This may explain why the Hyuga branch family has been unable to find a solution to the Caged Bird Seal for so many years.
He discovered this problem only through observation using the Tenseigan and the Spirit Transformation Technique.
As for how to solve the problem and completely remove the caged bird, more research is needed.
Time flew by and it was noon. Baiyun Qingye hadn't expected to have such a great harvest in just one morning.
He also quietly stopped the illusion he had cast on Hyuga Natsu.
He had to use some illusion magic to calm the other party down.
"Well……"
As the illusion dissipated, Hyuga Natsuya slowly woke up, unconsciously letting out a comfortable groan and stretching.
"How did you sleep?"
Baiyun Qingye asked.
"Fortunately."
Hinata Natsu answered subconsciously, but she quickly noticed the unfamiliar ceiling in front of her, immediately stood up, and bowed to apologize.
"Lord Aoba, I'm sorry, I fell asleep."
She came to help with the research, but ended up falling asleep in someone else's bed...
It's so embarrassing.
"It's okay. All I need to do is stay calm. In fact, it's more convenient if you fall asleep."
Baiyun Qingye smiled.
Hyuga Natsu: "I'm glad I didn't cause you any trouble, Aoba-sama."
"Oh, right, here you go."
Baiyun Qingye handed over the headband.
When Hyuga Natsu saw the headband, she immediately came to her senses and instinctively covered her forehead.
I forgot to pick up my forehead protector.
As a member of a separate family, although she had long accepted the mark, she still found it ugly.
“I don’t think it’s ugly, but it’s definitely a scar for you.”
Shirokumo Aoba gently removed Hinata Natsu's hand, her voice soft, and then took the initiative to help her put on her headband.
Hinata Natsumi's body trembled slightly. "Thank you, Lord Aoba."
Bai Yunqingye originally wanted to pat her head, but seeing the height difference between the two, she stopped her outstretched hand.
However, Hinata Natsu lowered her head and rubbed his hand on her head.
To avoid putting the homeowner in a difficult position.
It was also part of her duties as a maid.
Bai Yun Qingye was slightly taken aback, but after regaining her senses, she rubbed her hands together and said with a smile.
"Perhaps this mark will disappear in the near future."
"what?"
……
Is Little Fireworks angry?
"no!"
"Why are you avoiding me if you're not angry?"
Baiyun Qingye sat on the sofa, wanting to hug Hanabi, but the other party nimbly dodged her.
Hanabi looked sullen, "Because Aoba-nii is a bad person."
"How am I a bad person?"
With a sudden burst of speed, Baiyun Qingye caught Hanabi in her arms.
"Humph!"
Hanabi didn't struggle, but simply turned her face away. "Brother Aoba brought Sister Natsu to the room, he must be doing something bad."
Bai Yunqingye's lips twitched involuntarily as she pinched her little nose.
"I was having important business to attend to, I didn't do anything wrong!"
"Hmm... I don't care. If the two of them are sneaking around and won't let me see, they're doing something bad."
Hanabi has made up her mind.
Shirokumo Aoba was speechless, while Hinata Natsumi, who was preparing lunch with Koto in the kitchen, had already blushed.
At the same time, she was also wondering if Bai Yunqingye had done anything naughty while she was asleep.
If I did it...
You put too much salt in!
Suddenly someone nudged her with their elbow.
"Feel sorry!"
Hinata Natsu immediately snapped out of her daze, looked at the resentful Koto, and sincerely apologized.
Qin didn't say anything, and added some more water to the pot.
Seeing Hanabi open her mouth and exhale slightly, Shirokumo Aoba stuffed a lollipop into her mouth.
"This is your favorite flavor."
Don't think you can bribe me with a lollipop!
Despite saying that, Hanabi had already stuck out her little pink tongue and started licking.
Although the Hyuga clan has no shortage of money to buy lollipops, Hiashi Hyuga is still very strict about Hanabi's diet.
Like Hinata, Hanabi is also being groomed to be the next clan leader.
As for who will ultimately become the clan leader...
That would naturally be the one who didn't marry Baiyun Qingye.
"Want to go out and play together this afternoon?"
Baiyun Qingye gently rubbed Xiaohuahuo's chubby cheeks.
Hanabi's eyes widened. "Really?"
"Of course it's true."
