The Uchiha clan, which was wiped out entirely, lacked vision.

Chapter 196 I didn't discuss it with you

"The bigger picture?"

Neji gave a bitter laugh, looking around at the branch family elders and heroes who kept speaking well of the main family, and a wave of sorrow washed over him.

These people are already dead, yet they still cling to things like "kinship" and "the big picture," spouting lofty and grandiose phrases all the time.

Even though they already know the whole truth and have personally experienced the oppression and exploitation of the main family, why do they still act like loyal dogs of the main family?

Is this a sign of their stubbornness and stupidity, or a sign of the clan's profound brainwashing skills?

Neji found the behavior of these people extremely difficult to understand.

He listened to everyone's lectures with a blank expression, and only after everyone had finished did he say indifferently, "Don't mention negotiating with the main family anymore. I no longer have any expectations for the main family, nor do I believe that the main family will change in any way."

As long as the "Caged Bird" curse remains, the branch family will forever be slaves of the main family, never able to gain freedom.

"Don't talk to me about the big picture. I'm not part of that big picture, and neither is the Hyuga branch family."

.

"As for Konoha Village, there is really no need for a village like that, which is in cahoots with the main family, to stay here any longer."

"I have already contacted Lord Uchiha An. After we destroy the main family, we will take all the branch family ninjas and leave this place to live in the Land of Rain."

"From now on, whether Konoha Village lives or dies will no longer be a concern for our Hyuga branch family."

"What?!" At this moment, even the few remaining ninjas who still supported him immediately switched sides.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"The Hyuga clan is one of the two great clans of Konoha. How could you betray Konoha?"

"Our Hyuga clan was one of the first ninja clans to join Konoha. We have countless lands and riches in the Land of Fire and Konoha. How can we just throw them away like that?"

"Our glory, our triumph, are all tied to Konoha Village. Once we leave Konoha Village, what are we, the Hyuga clan?"

"And you actually cooperated with the village's enemies—what an act of betrayal!"

"This is absolutely unforgivable!"

"For a ninja like you, the village hasn't even eliminated you; that's already an act of mercy from the village. Don't you even know how to be grateful?"

"No wonder the main family treats you this way; you brought this all on yourself!"

Hearing the insults hurled at him, Neji had completely lost interest in these so-called clan heroes.

They may be heroes of the family, but they are certainly not heroes of the branch family. Expecting them to be of one mind with you is wishful thinking.

He didn't want to waste any more time arguing with these old fogies, so he lowered his gaze and asked directly, "So, you're saying you won't help me launch a coup and attack the main family?"

"Of course not." Everyone refused firmly: "Although we are dead, we are still part of the Hyuga clan."

"We would never do something so heinous for you!"

"However, we can help you talk to the main family. I think the main family will give us family heroes some face and improve the relationship with the branch family."

"I see!" Neji curled his lip in disdain, too lazy to say anything more to their childish words.

His gaze then turned to his father, a glimmer of hope in his eyes, as he finally tried to persuade him: "Father, don't you support me either?"

Hyuga Hizashi looked at his son with disappointment, still trying to persuade him with earnest words, hoping to pull him back to the "right path".

"Neji, you can't possibly succeed."

"The main family possesses the Caged Bird Seal; with just a single hand gesture, they can easily dismantle your attack."

"Take my advice and stop doing this pointless thing."

"Taking a step back opens up a whole new world; you need to learn to make peace with yourself!"

"Taking a step back opens up a vast expanse? More likely, it's a step back leading to utter ruin!"

This time, Neji was completely disappointed in his father. He sneered and quickly formed a hand seal, and all the branch family heroes immediately found that they had lost control of their bodies.

"What?!" The crowd panicked and began to shout, "What are you doing? Let us go right now!"

Neji ignored their shouts and said with a grim face, "Why do you think I would use the Impure World Reincarnation to find you?"

"You have no idea how many allies I've already won over from the branch families!"

"I have no shortage of people to fight on the battlefield. Even if it's just a matter of piling up lives, I can still overwhelm all the major clans!"

"The reason I invited you here is partly to have you, the elders of the branch family, as witnesses."

"Witness the moment when the Hyuga branch family is freed from its constraints, escapes its cage, and takes flight."

"On the other hand, I also want to know if the 'Caged Bird' seal still works on the dead."

The souls of ninjas resurrected through the "Impure World Reincarnation" are actually free, but their bodies are controlled by the technique and do not obey their commands at all.

Therefore, during combat, one might be physically fighting while simultaneously using their mouth to constantly remind the enemy of their moves, proactively providing information about their own techniques to the opponent.

Those like the Uchiha, who, after being freed from control, instead roared and fought desperately alongside their clan leader against the enemy, are actually the real minority.

So here's the question: if the Hyuga main family used the "Caged Bird" curse seal on the Edo Tensei body, what would happen to the body's body when it suffered pain?

Is it rolling around on the ground in agony?

Or will they continue to ruthlessly kill the main family while wailing in pain?

I'm afraid the latter is more likely!

"What?!" The many heroes who had branched out from the main family were immediately shocked. "You can't do this!"

"Tampering with the souls of the dead will bring retribution!"

"You scoundrel, quickly undo this evil spell and send us back to our peaceful rest!"

"The dead should rest peacefully in the underworld; they shouldn't interfere in the affairs of the living!"

"Shut up!" Neji shouted, his hand seals changing again. Everyone immediately realized that the binding force had become stronger once more, and they could no longer open their mouths to curse.

"See that?" Neji declared coldly, "I'm only informing you about the annihilation of the main family; I have no intention of discussing it with you."

"Do as you wish, or do as you wish."

"Here, I'm in charge!"

Amidst the fiery gazes of the crowd, Neji released the spell, sending everyone back to the Pure Land. He would summon them again on the day the coup was launched, to serve as the first wave of suicide squads.
