Chapter 140 Success is due to the bird in the cage, and failure is also due to the bird in the cage!

"Peacock Magic·Flying Wing Slash!"

During the battle, in addition to condensing chakra claws in both hands, Xia Rixing also derived gorgeous wings from behind.

The wings danced, sometimes turning into a shield to block attacks, and sometimes turning into a blade to cut the enemy away.

Although it seemed that she was under siege, in fact, Xia Rixing was firmly in the upper hand in the battle with the Star Ninjas.

After fighting for a long time, she was not even injured.

On the other hand, there were already 20 to 30 people on the Hyuga side who fell in Xia Rixing's hands.

Many of them were senior ninjas of the Hyuga clan.

While constantly solving the siege of the Hyuga ninjas, Xia Rixing glanced at the two old men who were giving orders, but did not pay much attention.

Anyway, as long as the two elders of the Hyuga clan did not leave, then if she made the intention to attack the two people, it would only better contain more people of the Hyuga clan.

Yu also had the same idea.

Not far away, Yu was also facing the siege of more than a dozen Hyuga ninjas.

On the side, there was also an old man guarded by many Hyuga ninjas.

This old man, like the two old men on Xia Rixing's side, was an elder of the Hyuga clan.

"The strength of the Hyuga clan is lower than expected!"

During the battle, Xia Rixing was very calm, and even had extra energy to pay attention to the battle situation around him.

Not to mention Yu, Xia Rixing found that the other people on his side were fighting with the Hyuga ninjas, and the battle situation presented was better than he had expected.

In this situation, Xia Rixing fought more easily.

As long as the casualties did not exceed the red line, this battle with the Hyuga clan would be a good training for the new generation of the village.

Unlike the armies of Sand Village and Cloud Village.

Although the two hundred star ninjas led by Xia Rixing and Yu were teleported to Konoha together with Sand Village by Naraku's true energy shadow clone with the "Flying Thunder God Technique".

But Xia Rixing and Yu did not immediately engage in the destruction and killing of Konoha like the Sand Village, but had other goals.

This goal was the Hyuga clan.

The purpose was simple, that was for the Byakugan.

Just as the Hyuga clan set up a caged bird for the people of the branch family to prevent the Byakugan from being taken away.

Although the Byakugan is not as good as the Sharingan in combat, its strategic significance is even higher than the Sharingan.

In particular, the transplantation of the Byakugan is not as burdensome as the Sharingan, so this makes the major ninja villages salivate over the Byakugan.

Now the Star Ninjas are attacking the Hyuga clan, naturally because Naraku has set his eyes on the Byakugan, a strategic resource.

Of course, under the restrictions of the caged bird, except for the people of the Hyuga main family, the Byakugan of the Hyuga branch family cannot be obtained by simply digging out the eyes.

Therefore, Naraku's approach is very simple, that is, to capture people alive, and then bring them back to the Star Ninja Village, and let him study the caged bird.

The clan rules of the Hyuga clan are very strict and conservative at the same time.

Even though Konoha was in chaos and attacked, the Hyuga clan did not go out, but gathered back to the clan.

Therefore, when Xia Rixing and Yu led the Star Ninja troops to come, more than 300 combatants with the Byakugan had already gathered in the Hyuga clan.

This number is not all the combat power of the Hyuga clan with the Byakugan.

After all, on the battlefields of Konoha, Sand Village and Cloud Village, the Hyuga clan was not suppressed in the village by Danzo like the Uchiha clan, but sent a lot of combat power on both sides of the battlefield.

Similarly, although there were only more than 300 combatants of the Hyuga clan gathered in the clan at this time, in terms of number, they still had the upper hand compared to the 200 Star Ninjas led by Xia Rixing and Yu.

However, the number is the number, not the strength.

The Hyuga clan is not as good as the Uchiha clan.

In addition to the fact that the Byakugan is not as good as the Sharingan in combat, the existence of the bird in the cage also makes the overall strength of the Hyuga clan far inferior to that of the Uchiha clan.

As the saying goes, success is the bird in a cage, and failure is the bird in a cage.

The bird in a cage has prevented the Hyuga clan from losing the Byakugan to the greatest extent, but it has also made the clan like a self-mutilation.

This self-mutilation is not only because the bird in the cage will create a blind spot for the Byakugan, but also because of the Hyuga clan's personnel system.

Compared with the number of members of the branch family, the Hyuga clan's religion has only a few branches.

In other words, the main family is the minority of the Hyuga clan.

However, with the development of time, the bird in a cage is no longer just a measure to protect the Byakugan, but has evolved into a means for the main family to control the branch family.

For example, the people of the Hyuga main family rarely participate in the battle in person on the grounds of protecting the Byakugan. They basically stay in the clan land, and the people of the branch family fight outside.

Such an approach will undoubtedly cause the people of the Hyuga main family to lack combat training and it is difficult to grow well.

If it is just like this, it is actually nothing.

After all, the talents of the Hyuga branch family are the majority.

The key is that the members of the Hyuga main family do not participate in the battle, but in order to better control the branch family, they even restrict the inheritance within the family.

This means that most people in the Hyuga branch family can only learn the thirty-two palms of the signature "Bagua Palm".

As for high-level soft fists such as Huitian, they can't even touch them.

Such inheritance restrictions undoubtedly further compressed the growth space of the members of the Hyuga branch family.

To this day, although the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan are both the two major families in Konoha, in fact, the strength of the two sides has long been far apart.

For example, the more than 300 Hyuga clan ninjas gathered in the Hyuga clan land now.

Most of these people are actually members of the Hyuga branch who have mastered the basic soft fist.

Most of them are Genin and Chunin.

As for Jonin and Elite Jonin.

It's not that there are none.

But with two battlefields scattered, the number of Hyuga clan Jonin and Elite Jonin left in Konoha is undoubtedly very limited.

There are only about 20 Jonin in total.

There are only three Elite Jonin.

Moreover, these three Elite Jonin are not only only at the first stage of Elite Jonin, but also relatively old.

That's right.

These three Elite Jonin are the three elders of the Hyuga clan.

On the other hand, the Star Ninja Village.

Even if Yae and the three commander-level death scorpions are not counted.

It's just the Star Ninjas.

Although most of the Star Ninjas who came this time are only the new generation, under the Peacock Magic and the open technique inheritance, many of the new generation of Star Ninjas have quickly grown into Chunin.

Moreover, in terms of actual combat ability, she is not inferior to the Hyuga ninjas of the same level.

Not to mention the leading Natsuki and Yu.

For example, Yu, the sufficient nourishment of Hulangwan, and the continuous chakra condensation brought by [Star].

Yu, who has been constantly improving, has been firmly at the level of elite jonin once she uses [Three Magatama Sharingan].

If she adds the "Sen Seal", she can even squeeze into the second stage of elite jonin in a short time.

This is even more true for Natsuki.

As the Four-Tails Jinchūriki, she is firmly at the second stage of elite jonin under normal circumstances.

If she adds the "Sen Seal", she can exert the strength of the third stage of elite jonin.

In fact, it is precisely because Natsuki and Yu are good enough that Naraku will arrange the two women to lead the Star Ninja troops to attack the Hyuga clan.

Yae and the three commander-level death scorpions were all summoned by Natsuki.

Under the huge chakra of the tailed beasts, the chakra consumption brought by the summoning of Yae did not bring much impact to Natsuki.

The various uses of the "Peacock Magic" were constantly at hand.

In the battle, it was better to say that Xia Rixing surrounded the Hyuga ninjas rather than being besieged.

"Almost done!"

After fighting for a long time, Xia Rixing, who had doubled the number of Hyuga ninjas lying around, suddenly became fierce when she found that her casualties were approaching the red line.

Boom!!!

The huge tailed beast chakra suddenly emerged from Xia Rixing's body, and even merged with the "Peacock Magic", making the peacock armor covering her body attached with a flaming chakra aura.

The wings extended and expanded.

When the tailed beast chakra mode was used, Xia Rixing's abilities in all aspects were greatly improved immediately.

She imitated the Hyuga clan's "Kaiten" and suddenly spun at high speed on the spot.

Along with the rotation, the rapidly enlarged chakra wings also formed a tornado that soared into the sky, engulfing the surrounding Hyuga ninjas.
