Escape from Konoha Ye Xining

After that day, Shiraishi felt that his relationship with Liuli had become very strange.

Although on the surface there is no difference from usual, when it is time to pass notes in class, they still pass notes, and they still practice as usual at night, but Liuli seems to have changed into the same way when he first saw her, silent and cold, and rarely speaks.

Just a few days passed.

Shiraishi went to school as usual that day, but when the first class was about to start, Shiraishi found that Ayane on the left hadn't arrived.

Shiraishi found this very strange.

Ayane, as a branch member of the wealthy Hyuga clan, although her status is definitely not as good as that of the main family, she still maintains the code of conduct that a wealthy family should have, and it is impossible to skip classes and be late.

Until the first class was about to end, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

It was a girl with straight black hair that reached her waist.

Ayane stood alone at the door, without saying a word, biting her lip, as if she was about to bite her lip, an atmosphere of sadness and despair enveloped her.

What's even more strange is that there is a white ribbon tied on Ayane's forehead, which doesn't look ugly, but I always feel that the sudden change is a bit too abrupt.

Before this, Ayane would never wear such a sensational ribbon ornament on her forehead.

The head teacher, Mr. Fujimura, took a look at Ayane and wanted to reprimand Ayane, but when he noticed the deep despair and sadness in Ayane, he sighed softly, as if he knew something, and said flatly: "Come in, remember not to be late next time."

Ayane nodded, and walked to her seat and sat down under the weird and puzzled eyes of everyone.

"Bai, Baishi-kun, good morning."

Ayane tried her best to greet Shiraishi as usual, but her smile was forced, and the tears in her eyes seemed to flow uncontrollably.

Then, without waiting for Baishi to respond, he buried his head on the table, as if it was a shame to be seen like this, and would be ridiculed and despised by others.

And all this happened, and the rest of the students looked at her with strange eyes, whispered, and pointed, as if they knew something.

But the students who didn't know the truth were just curious and worried about Ayane.

Baishi's face was full of question marks, but he wisely didn't ask.

Liuli, on the other hand, looked past Shiraishi and glanced at Ayane, but didn't speak.

——Liuli, do you know what happened to Ayane?

Because the relationship goes further, the 'classmate' suffix was removed.

Pass the note with this question to Liuli.

As a wealthy family, Liuli must know something.

——What else, of course, is the 'excellent' tradition of the Hyuga clan.

The word "good" was put in quotation marks, and it was obvious that Liuli's words were full of irony.

The 'excellent' tradition of the Hyuga clan?

Shiraishi didn't know what it was, but Ayane's appearance like this must be inseparable from the "excellent" tradition of the Hyuga clan.

What is it?

He really couldn't think of any reason why, so Shiraishi gave up.

At noon, Shiraishi and Liuli ate bento together.

"Hey, Ruri, what is the tradition of the Hyuga clan you're talking about?"

Still unable to hold back his curiosity, Shiraishi asked this question.

Liuli was silent for a moment, and replied: "This matter is not a secret among the ninja clan, and the chunin and jonin in the village have basically heard of it. The Hyuga clan has had a very Unacceptable tradition. That is the difference between the main family and the branch family."

"Is there a problem with the distinction between the main family and the branch family?"

"The branch family must bear the responsibility and obligation to protect the clan family."

"This is also normal."

Shiraishi couldn't understand.

Although it is not fair to protect those with low status and high status, this is a stable 'social' structure.

Society is divided into classes and hierarchies.

Therefore, in Shiraishi's eyes, it is a normal development trend for people from the Hyuga clan to protect those from the Hyuga clan.

"If it's just like this, it's really not a rare thing. But in order to let the branch family wholeheartedly protect the main family, and in order to prevent the blood of the Hyuga clan from spreading outside, there is a reason to control the branch family."

"control?"

Shiraishi was taken aback.

"That's right, control, control in the true sense." Liuli glanced at Baishi and said seriously: "For the safety of the Zong family, the branch family must take the initiative to undertake a curse seal called 'caged bird', which means that the Zong family controls The power of life and death of the Separation Family. Once the members of the Separation Family become unruly, or fail to fulfill the duties and responsibilities of the Separation Family, the Sect Family can use the curse seal to instantly execute the Separation Person who has the curse seal."

"..."

"In other words, Ayane's...life and death are now in the hands of an outsider. If Ayane becomes dissatisfied and intends to kill a member of the clan, the clan members have the right to beat and scold Ayane, or even execute her to death."

Baishi thought of something and said: "Then, is the location of the curse seal at..."

"That's right, the curse mark that was planted was on Ayane's forehead. That's why Ayane blocked it with a cloth belt. Whether it's righteousness, or the protection of the clan in name, they say it's a separate family The meaning of existence, the curse mark, are all genuine 'slave' marks."

Shiraishi was silent.

There was a voice in his heart telling him that Konoha was a terrorist organization, and it was normal for such things to happen in terrorist organizations.

Although very repulsive, Shiraishi found that he couldn't do anything.

This is the helplessness and compromise called reality.

For Ayane, having the mark of 'slave' engraved on her forehead is more cruel than killing her directly.

Really, what a terrible time this is!

If such a thing happened in a dark corner, Shiraishi could reluctantly accept it, but the rules of the Hyuga Clan were open to the public.

What does it mean to openly raise the other half of your clan as 'slaves' without any cover up?

Shiraishi looked at Konoha's shadow rock from here, and the three Hokage sculptures carved with Konoha symbolized the great achievements of those three.

Especially the first generation of Hokage and the second generation of Hokage brothers, they are known by the world as the people who ended the troubled times of the Warring States Period.

And after that?

The war continues.

It is no different from the Warring States Period, children will still be sent to the battlefield.

Nothing seems to have changed.

The only thing that has changed is that the ninjas have formed a larger village from the ninjas, and the one country, one village system has been established.

Baishi suddenly felt that Yingyan's existence was full of irony.

If the so-called family is only at this level, then the tradition of the Hyuga clan is incompatible with Konoha from the very beginning.

Logically, such ninjas should not be allowed to join the Konoha Ninja Village dominated by the 'Will of Fire'.

The tradition of this family is the best interpretation of denying the 'will of fire'.

Can't even cherish their own clansmen, can you believe that such a clan will have the belief in loving and caring for the entire village?

Baishi put a big question mark on this question.

He finally sighed and said nothing.

Growing up with Liuli these days, he has almost forgotten that he is a 'heretic' to this village, and he will become a 'traitor' sooner or later.

But the peaceful life makes him almost forget that he is a 'traitor', and he can't help but want to blend into this village.

Thinking of this, Shiraishi's back was covered with cold sweat.

Ease corrupts man.

From the beginning, he didn't have the slightest surrender to Konoha.

He is very grateful to Konoha for teaching him the knowledge of ninjas, but it is only for this teaching.
