Chapter 934 Sasuke's Vigilance

Neji's eyes flashed with a complex emotion, including anger towards the family tradition and curiosity about the truth behind his mother's defection. "Then did mother... also leave because she couldn't stand this kind of oppression?" he asked.

Hiashi shook his head slightly, "Your mother's matter is very complicated, not so simple. At that time, there was indeed some unreasonable treatment of the branch family within the clan, but your mother had other reasons."

Neji stared at his father, waiting for his next words. Hizashi said slowly, "Your mother discovered some of the main family's unspeakable secrets. She tried to stop it but was slandered as a traitor. She had no choice but to flee. The forces involved behind this are far beyond our imagination."

Neji was shocked. It turned out that his mother had been wronged so much. "What should we do now? Should we just let the main family continue like this?"

Hizashi patted Neji on the shoulder and said, "Of course not, I have been secretly investigating and collecting evidence. Now it's almost time to change everything." Neji clenched his fists and nodded firmly. Both father and son's eyes were full of determination.

Hiashi and Neji sneak into the secret room of the main family. There are many scrolls about the decisions of the main family and records of past events. They carefully avoid the guards and look for key evidence.

At this moment, the alarm sounded suddenly. "Oh no, we've been discovered!" Neji shouted in a low voice. However, Hizashi remained calm and said, "According to the plan."

Soon, the people of the main family and the members of the Anbu surrounded them. The leader of the main family stood up and sneered: "What do you think you can find? Even if you know the truth, what does it matter?"

Hiashi stepped forward and took out a document: "This document is enough to prove your past crimes, including framing my wife. Moreover, you colluded with external forces in an attempt to control the entire Konoha Village. This cannot be tolerated!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. The Anbu members looked at each other, wondering whether they should continue to follow the command of the main family.

Just when the situation was at a stalemate, the Hokage arrived. After taking the document and reading it, his face was solemn: "The actions of the main family violated the principles of fairness and justice of Konoha and must be punished."

Finally, the privileges of the main family were abolished, and the Hyuga clan ushered in true equality. Ningji looked up at the sky, as if he saw a bright future.

However, the peaceful days did not last long. One night, Neji suddenly sensed a strong and evil aura approaching the village. He quickly notified the ninjas in the village, and everyone was ready. It turned out that the external forces that had colluded with the main family before came to retaliate. They took advantage of the fact that Konoha Village had just undergone changes and was still unstable internally to launch an attack. The battle broke out instantly, and the flames shot up into the sky. Neji threw himself into the battle without hesitation, his white eyes flashing, accurately responding to the enemy's attacks and launching counterattacks. Although the enemy was powerful, Neji had a clear belief in his heart at this moment-to protect the village and protect the hard-won peace and equality. The companions around him fell one by one, which further stimulated his fighting spirit. He used the strongest ninjutsu to rush to the core of the enemy, and for a time the enemy was intimidated by his momentum. After a hard battle, Neji finally led the Konoha ninja to repel the enemy. The village after the war was full of scars, but people's eyes were full of hope. Neji looked up at the sky again. He knew that as long as the faith remained, Konoha would never fall.

Ningci returned home and locked himself in his room. He kept thinking about the tragic scenes in the war, and the sacrifice of his companions made him suffer.

A few days later, Naruto came to visit him. Naruto patted his shoulder and said, "Ningji, I know this blow is great, but we can't give up." Ningji smiled bitterly and said, "Naruto, I feel that my previous persistence is a joke. Now this peace has cost too much." Naruto looked at him seriously: "Because of this, we must cherish this peace even more and move forward with the will of our dead companions."

Neji was silent for a long time, and his eyes gradually became bright. After that, he began to help rebuild Konoha Village. He taught young ninjas fighting skills and passed on his experience in actual combat. In the process, he saw the longing and passion in the eyes of the younger generation, which was the same light as his own back then.

Slowly, the haze in Neji's heart dissipated, and he realized that no matter how dark the past was, the future could always create infinite light, and he was willing to be one of the guardians of this light.

He now only thinks about how to change the fate of his family and break the shackles of being a bird in a cage.

The next morning, Neji arrived at the family ancestral hall early. He looked at the tablets of his ancestors and vowed to find a solution. At this time, Hyuga Hinata came over and asked softly, "Brother Neji, you look very tired. Are you thinking about the family again?" Neji nodded. Hinata hesitated for a moment and said, "I know my strength is limited, but I am willing to face it with you." Neji felt warm in his heart.

In the following days, Neji searched for ancient scrolls and books, hoping to find clues to crack the caged bird curse. By chance, he learned that a senior ninja who lived in seclusion in the mountains might know the method. So Neji embarked on a journey to find it. After going through untold hardships, he finally found the senior. After listening to his intention, the senior thought for a long time and said, "There is a way, but it is extremely dangerous. Are you willing to try it?" Neji agreed without hesitation. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, he is determined to fight for the fate of his family.

"Who?" Neji pretended to be calm, slowly raised his hands and took a defensive posture.

The black shadow slowly walked out of the shadows, and with the faint moonlight, Neji could see clearly who was coming. It was Uchiha Sasuke who had disappeared for a long time.

"Sasuke? Why are you here?" Neji was surprised.

Sasuke said sternly, "Ningji, I heard that you were looking for a way to break the caged bird curse, which might cause some people to feel uneasy."

Neji frowned, "This is an internal matter between our Hyuga clan and has nothing to do with others."

Sasuke sneered, "You are wrong. Once you succeed in cracking it, the balance of the ninja world may be broken. I will not allow this to happen."

Neji's eyes were firm, "Sasuke, you have also defied fate, why don't you let me try?"

Sasuke was slightly startled, as if he remembered his past. After a moment of silence, he said, "I'm just here to warn you. You will bear the consequences at your own risk." After that, he turned into a gust of wind and disappeared.

Neji clenched his fists, feeling mixed emotions. But he did not give up, instead he became more determined to break the curse seal. Even if the road ahead was full of thorns, he would fight for the freedom of his family.
