Chapter 322: Bird in a Cage - How to Break It

Time flies, winter goes and spring comes, and in the blink of an eye, it has been sixty years since Konoha.

Imperial Palace, Yangxin Hall.

"Your Majesty, may I know why you summoned me?" Hinata Hiashi said respectfully.

"Rizu, you've done a great job in the Ministry of Industry over the years." Xingye Feng looked at him with appreciation and affirmed his work.

Since Ri Zu took office as Minister of the Ministry of Workers, he has been working diligently, building dams and bridges, and he personally supervised the construction. It can be said that he did everything himself.

Feng Xingye saw all of this and was very satisfied with what Rizu did.

"Thanks to your majesty, this is all Ri Zu's job." Ri Zu was not proud and his tone remained humble.

After hearing this, Hoshino Feng smiled slightly. If the Uchiha were arrogant and not good at expressing their feelings, then the Hinata were just the opposite, low-key and reserved, strictly observing etiquette, and at the same time a bit rigid.

"How is Hizashi doing for you?" Kaede Hoshino asked about Hizashi's recent situation.

He used to be a member of his guard, and after he ascended the throne, he was assigned to the Ministry of Works to be Rizu's deputy.

As the saying goes, "Brothers working together can break any obstacle."

If the two brothers are together, they may be more efficient.

Hearing this, Rizu shook his head and sighed. Just when Xingye Feng thought something went wrong, he heard Rizu say.

"Every time I work, I feel like I'm pumped up. I often work all night until the early hours of the morning before I get a nap."

Although Hiashi complained, there was a smile on his face, and it was obvious that he cared a lot about Hiashi.

"If Your Majesty has time, I hope you can persuade him. Neji often complains that he doesn't come back."

As soon as these words came out, Xingye Feng laughed out loud, and then agreed: "Okay, I will definitely persuade him."

"I like Neji very much. He is very sensible. If even he complains, there must be something wrong. I will definitely talk to him some other day."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ri Zu said with gratitude upon hearing this.

Afterwards, the two chatted about daily trivialities. There was constant laughter during the conversation and the atmosphere was very cheerful.

When the time was right, Xingye Feng's smile faded and his expression became solemn.

When Rizu saw this, he thought to himself, "The real business is about to begin!"

I have talked so much before, but I haven’t gotten to the point yet. It can be said that I was just laying the groundwork.

"Hiashi, the Hyuga family has been passed down for hundreds of years and has a long history. They are an old ninja clan in Konoha." Hoshino Kaede said slowly, with a hint of nostalgia in his tone.

"Thank you for your hard work in serving Konoha over the years." Hoshino Kaede expressed his gratitude to Hiashi.

Hiashi immediately said in panic: "This is what the Hyuga family should do. If we talk about hard work, it's not the Hyuga's turn."

Xingye Feng smiled and said: "That's not the case. The Hyuga have worked hard and made great contributions. This is obvious to all. At least, you are much more obedient than the Uchiha."

"Except for some small concerns, it's much better than other families."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hiashi knelt on the ground, his face showing panic and fear, as if he had seen the Hyuga ancestor, and was out of his mind.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the Hyuga family has absolutely no ulterior motives. Please understand clearly."

Hyuga was really panicked. Hoshino Kaede's words were too intimidating. If these words were true, Hyuga's century-old foundation would be ruined.

I thought it was just a normal conversation, or maybe some tasks were assigned to Hinata, but I didn't expect to hear these words.

Seeing the deep fear in Rizu's eyes, Xingye Feng realized that Rizu might have misunderstood something, and immediately said.

"What I said is not to accuse you, but just objective facts. Please don't over-interpret it."

"I see everything Hinata is doing, just as you said, there's no need to panic."

Hearing this, the trembling Rizu finally breathed a sigh of relief, then wiped the thin layer of sweat from his forehead.

He was so scared that he thought this day next year would be his death anniversary, but it turned out to be a false alarm.

"Your Majesty, could you please tell me everything next time? It's really scary." Ri Zu said with lingering fear.

After hearing this, Xingye Feng coughed lightly, and a look of embarrassment flashed across his face.

But his expression soon returned to normal and he said to Hinata: "None of this is important."

"Rizu, I remember I once promised you something, do you remember?"

Rizu was stunned for a moment, then his expression became ecstatic, with excitement flashing in his eyes, and he asked quickly.

"Your Majesty, is it about... the caged bird?!"

The voice was extremely gentle, as if any louder tone would dissipate like mist.

Seeing Hiashi's expectant expression, Xingye Feng nodded slowly: "Well, Director Toono sent a message that the caged bird's removal technique has been completed."

Although he was mentally prepared, when he heard the news, his eyes were filled with tears and he couldn't help but cry.

"Finally...it's finally done." Hiashi whispered.

The key to open the exquisite cage that bound Hinata finally appeared. This was the moment he had been waiting for.

Hoshino Feng looked at Rizu crying with joy and couldn't help but feel emotional.

"The research is still a little slow. Since the death of Mito-sensei, the research progress has slowed down."

"I didn't expect it to be completed until today, but it's not too late."

After being excited for a while, Rizu quickly calmed down. Now that he had the key, there was only one last step left.

He took two deep breaths, trying to suppress the surging emotions in his heart, but his voice was still trembling.

"Then your majesty, can you...can you..."

Perhaps he was too excited, which made Rizu stutter.

Seeing this, Xingye Feng nodded and said, "You can prepare to remove the caged bird now. I will help you with the external factors, but the internal factors are up to you."

"I think you should be able to resolve matters within the family."

After saying that, Xingye Feng paused and said, "If you can't control the situation, then I will solve it myself."

At this point, Rizu naturally understood, and immediately assured Xingye Feng: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will never let you down."

His tone was firm, and there seemed to be a flame burning in his eyes.

Over the years, he has grown up and is no longer the naive child he used to be. He is now able to shoulder the burden of the clan.

He holds most of the power of speech in the clan, and can be said to be the de facto clan leader.

Only some minor powers in the hands of the elders have not been taken back.

Now, the only obstacles facing Rizu are these people.

"Well, I believe you will succeed." Xingye Feng said with a smile.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and the corner of his mouth curled up: "I think if Neji heard this news, he would be so shocked that his jaw would drop and he would be speechless."

When Hiashi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, but then he sighed.

"That child has resentment in his heart and is unwilling to let his fate be controlled by him."

"If he was born in another family, he would have shone brightly."
