The bright moon was hanging high outside the window, and I was tossing and turning on the bed. Orochimaru's experimental diary contained just a few paragraphs, but it made Hinata Kei unable to sleep all night. He couldn't wait to confirm now whether the caged bird was really ineffective against him.
However, Hinata Kai finally suppressed the restlessness in his heart. Although in his case there is a high probability that the caged bird is essentially ineffective. But proving this will ultimately require experiments.
He couldn't guarantee whether the experiment log Orochimaru gave him was tampered with. Therefore, for your own safety, you need to find someone to test it first.
When the test results are confirmed, it is certain that the caged bird will not self-destruct due to the protection mechanism before touching the core. Only then can I feel free to experiment on myself.
Tossing and turning, Hinata Kei didn't know when he fell asleep. While he was still sleeping, a violent knock on the door woke him up.
The knock on the door was so loud that Hinata Kei had to get up from the bed. Before he could open the door and open his mouth, he heard the person saying: "Hinata Kei, Mr. Yasuhiro wants to see you."
There was a hint of hostility and jealousy in the visitor's tone.
This made Hyuga Kei a little confused. After all, he had never provoked anyone in the clan. In addition, because he is blind, he will gain sympathy from all the clan members.
Why would he be met with hostility and jealousy when he had no enemies?
But soon, Hinata Kai vaguely recalled this guy's identity from his memory: "Are you Hyuga Tsukuru?"
"Hmph, since you know it's me, why don't you come with me quickly?" Hinata said with a cold face.
Hinata Kei rubbed the blind crutch in his hand, not surprised by Hinata's attitude. Because Hinata Tsukuru has always been unpopular. To be precise, he is almost unpopular with all branch family members.
There is a famous disease in psychology called Stockholm syndrome. This special psychological disease is also called the hostage complex or hostage syndrome.
It refers to a complex in which the victim has feelings for the offender and even helps the offender in turn. This emotion causes the victim to develop a liking for, dependence on, and even help the offender.
Hinata Tsukuru is a typical person of this kind. He is a member of the branch family. He was punished by the clan family when he was a child, and later became one of Hyuga Yasuhiro's servants.
This guy didn't show much before he became a servant. But after becoming a servant, he turned around and began to bully the clansmen who were separated.
Due to Hinata Yasuhiro behind Hinata, everyone could only endure it. However, Hyugasaku began to intensify his behavior. While becoming more respectful to the main family, he became more oppressive towards the branch family.
Without his usual smile, Hinata Kei just said calmly: "Lead the way."
Hyugasaku seemed to be very dissatisfied with Hyuga Kei's knowledge. While leading the way, he said: "I don't know what Yasuhiro-sama likes in you, and he would allow Haru to follow you."
"It seems like you like Haru?"
"I'm warning you, you'd better not think about her, otherwise I won't let you go!"
Hinata Kei could feel Hinata Tsukuru's unhappy but helpless look, and smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Haru is my assistant, and I'm afraid it will last for a long time."
"If you don't want me to have too much contact with Chun, you can ask the Great Elder to find me another assistant."
"But I think this is unlikely, after all, your identity is there." Hinata Kei tilted his head and said: "By the way, you haven't forgotten your identity, have you? Do you need me to remind you? one time?"
He didn't bother to have anything nice to say about Hinata who had been a slave for a long time but in turn helped the clan to persecute the clan.
There are three types of people that Hinata Kei hates in his life, one is Hinata who commits adultery like this, and the second is people who like to talk half-talk.
"Damn it, don't think that just because you are valued by Mr. Yasuhiro, you can provoke me." Hyugasaku suppressed his anger and said, "You are just a blind man, what's so great about you."
Hinata Kei shrugged his shoulders and said calmly: "At least now you need to lead me, don't you?"
Hinata's blood immediately surged up, but he couldn't, so he could only speed up his pace and stop talking.
Hyuga Kei was too lazy to talk nonsense with this guy anymore. He walked into the familiar meeting hall, smiled as always, and said, "Great Elder, are you looking for me?"
As for Hinata Tsukuru, who entered the meeting hall, he no longer had the same expression as when he was outside. He bowed respectfully to Hinata Yasuhiro, which was perfectly suitable for the status of a servant.
For people like Hinata Tsukuru, Hyuga Kei was not surprised. Some people are like this. After kneeling for a long time, their bones become really soft and they can no longer stand up.
There are many such people in the family, and it is precisely because of this that the Zong family has always been very stable. Because there are some things that don't require the Zong family to take action at all, these people will compete to do it well.
Yasuhiro Hinata looked at Hinata Kei in front of him and said with a gentle face: "Kei, you did a good job this time. You successfully used a pet to divert Neji's attention."
"Great Elder, I just did what I should do." Hinata Kei said with a humble face: "Wherever the family needs me, I should be there."
Hinata Yasuhiro was even more satisfied. He stood up and patted Hinata Kei's shoulder and said, "It would be great if there were more young people like you in the family. I would be able to relax."
"Great Elder, you are still young, and the days ahead are still long." Hinata Kei said, "I am still waiting to be filial to you in the future, so please don't say anything like this again."
"You, you, are just too humble." Hinata Yasuhiro praised, and then said: "But this method of diverting attention, I think it is not a long-term solution after all. With Neji's age, he will react sooner or later."
"So do you have any better way? You can't distract Neji with something else every time."
Hyuga Kei stroked the blind cane and looked like he was thinking. Hinata Yasuhiro did not urge him, but waited quietly.
About five minutes later, Hinata Kei showed a hesitant look and said, "There is indeed a better way. It's just..."
"Just what? If you have any ideas, just tell me."
Hinata Kei shook his head and said: "Let's forget it. This method will violate the family rules, I can't say it."
"It's okay, just tell me. Family rules are not completely inflexible," Hinata Yasuhiro said.
Seeing that Hinata Yasuhiro was aroused by him, Hyuga Kei maintained a superficial calm, and finally showed a helpless look and said, "Then I will just say it casually? Don't be angry if I don't agree with you."
"Well, just say it, it doesn't matter even if you are wrong." Hinata Yasuhiro nodded.
Hinata Kei said: "That's it. I think Neji's dissatisfaction or resentment towards the family is still due to what happened back then."
"So if you want to really solve this matter, you have to let Neji completely let it go. Only in this way can it be solved once and for all, otherwise it will just keep diverting Neji's attention."
Hinata Yasuhiro condensed slightly and said, "Keep talking."
