"Sigh… Bird Cage…?" – Kuroto muttered thoughtfully.
'Bird Cage' may be a problem for the ordinary members of the Branch Family. It may be a cage on their destiny but that's no longer the case with Kuroto.
For Kuroto, Bird Cage Juinjutsu amounts to nothing.
Because the moment he activates his Tenseigan, the Bird Cage Juinjutsu will deactivate for him.
Of course, this is not a permanent solution, and Kuroto is really regrettable that up until now this is the only solution he has found, but it makes no difference for him.
But Kuroto has never dared to look down on Bird Cage Juinjutsu as a whole, nor has he even done anything openly that would anger the elders.
Why so?
It's simple actually. Bird Cage Juinjutsu may be ineffective on him, but that's not the case for Yui. If she is controlled with the 'Bird Cage' and is used as a hostage, then besides annihilating the entire Main Family Kuroto can't really think of any other effective countermeasure.
Yui didn't seem to notice Kuroto's thinking and said, "Anyway, Hizashi-sama also said that since you are a member of Anbu so the people of the Main Family can't directly touch you, even if they have some doubts, they will have to go to Hokage-sama first. So, as long as you stay careful, you should be fine."
Kuroto nodded with a sigh.
He has long understood the methods of those geezers.
Living carefree life under the protection of the Branch Family, they have developed the habit of controlling the weak and fear hardship.
Previously, Orochimaru attacked the Patriarch, but because of Orochimaru's sensitive identity, the elders of the main family dared not do anything, they were even willing to sacrifice the prestige of the Patriarch of the Clan.
Then there was Watanabe's incident, if not for Kuroto's intervention and solving the situation in a manner that made the incident seem completely unrelated to the Hyuga Clan, the elders of the Clan would have sacrificed Hizashi without a second thought.
Additionally, everyone in the clan is aware of the Byakugan that is with Ao of Kirigakure, but because of the diplomatic issues between the two nations they did not dare to send anyone to Kirigakure secretly and bring back that stolen eye.
All the above incidents highlight the hypocrisy of those geezers. They put up a strong and rigid front, suppress the people of the branch family but when it truly comes down to it, they are willing to sacrifice the people of Hyuga Clan to ensure their own living, to ensure their own rule.
As long as the external pressure is enough, they don't have any bottom line, and Kuroto even thinks that they wouldn't hesitate to even sacrifice the Patriarch.
Therefore, Hizashi-sama's speculations are not unreasonable. So long as Kuroto does nothing extraordinary for some time, his Anbu identity is his protection.
Seeing Kuroto's distracted look, Yui was more worried, she thought that Kuroto didn't pay attention to anything she said, "Kuroto-kun… Kuroto-kun…?! Were you listening to what I said just now?"
Kuroto smiled and while gently patting Yui, he said, "Of course, I heard everything loud and clear. Don't worry, I will be fine, Hizashi-sama has also said that if the elders want to do anything they must first go past Hokage-sama.
So, they wouldn't find it easy. The Anbu team I am part of is the strongest Anbu team there is, and Hokage-sama would be unwilling to let something happen to me without any solid evidence."
Yui nodded, she does trust and understands Kuroto's abilities.
Over the past few years, no matter how troublesome things Kuroto-kun has encountered, he has solved them easily. His strength and status have also improved over the years. Nobody speaks anything openly, but she is very clear that Kuroto-kun has become sort of a leader of the younger generation among the Hyuga Clan.
Moreover, he is also counted among one of the most genius shinobi of his generation, in the same rank as Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Shisui.
In terms of influence too, Kuroto has a pretty good relationship with the two most talented Uchiha of the younger generation, including Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi.
Then his mentor-student relationship with the previous Miko of Land of Demons also came to light not long ago.
As an Anbu, he further holds high influence. So overall, Kuroto is quite strong both in terms of personal strength and also in terms of political strength.
As such, touching him carelessly is no longer an option, that's why even the Patriarch of the Hyuga Clan values Kuroto very much.
And therefore, he asked her to warn Kuroto of the possible events that might put him in some trouble.
At this time, Kuroto spoke, "Anyway, I will be fine Yui. All I ask is that you be careful."
Kuroto's words broke Yui out of her thought, and she nodded with a genuine smile. Looking at those eyes, Yui only said, "I will be fine as long as you are safe Kuroto-kun. Your well-being is the most important thing to me!"
Kuroto sighed and hugged her close.
Yui didn't resist and laid next to Kuroto. With her head resting on Kuroto's arm, she slowly drifted into sleep.
With Yui sleeping, Kuroto too tried to sleep but couldn't because of the various thoughts coming to his mind.
He can't help but think of the whole thing Yui told him about.
Kuroto's target of suspicion was obviously that 'traitor' who helped Watanabe sneak inside the Clan. The other party seemed to have mastered a Spiritualization Technique.
But this also confused him, since the other party has mastered the 'Spiritualization Technique' he should be able to kill the Elder and the guards without the need of snake's venom, or rather he should be able to sneak inside the Forbidden Section without any need of killing the guards and the elder.
"Snake…?" – muttered Kuroto with a frown, "Why use a snake to kill when you can kill using hundreds of other ways? Is it possible that Orochimaru is also involved here? Or does the other party wants to transfer the blame to Orochimaru and thus lead the investigation to lead to failure?"
If the blame is really transferred to Orochimaru, then the Elders of the Clan wouldn't dare to make a move against Orochimaru, so Kuroto can't rule out that possibility.
As for the reason why Kuroto didn't consider himself as the target?
Well, he just didn't, Kuroto has a very reasonable explanation. He doesn't use snakes, nor does he use snake venom. And most of the people within the clan are aware of it. This was also once the object of great discussion. When people of the Hyuga Clan heard that Kuroto doesn't use Snake techniques despite being Orochimaru's subordinate and disciple they were highly surprised.
When asked why he doesn't?
All Kuroto said was, "I don't find them interesting enough…"
And this sentence will work in favor of him.
Anyway, what Kuroto cares about is the other party's purpose.
"Why would the traitor do such a thing? What did he expect to get from the Forbidden Section? Was it something related to the Cage Bird?" – muttered Kuroto in doubt.
Kuroto is of course unaware of Bird Cage Juinjutsu Scroll hidden inside the Forbidden Section. How will he? It's not like he has ever been there in the first place, nor was there any information about this in the original story. And those who are aware of that scroll will obviously not tell him.
Therefore, his mind turned towards other possibilities, "Is the traitor looking for other opportunities he can exploit?"
In the original story, the traitor coordinated with Kumogakure and framed the Hyuga Clan, which led to the death of Hyuga Hizashi. And nothing else happened. But here, there is another attack on the Elder and two guards.
Perhaps because Hyuga Hizashi was sacrificed, the traitor realized that there was no point in doing anything anymore. If even the blood brother can be abandoned, then is there any point in revenge?
Sigh, whatever may be the case, this is another one of those butterfly effects.
…
Inside of one of the houses within the Hyuga Clan Compound.
In a dark room, a figure sat on a chair and took out a scroll from his bag.
The scroll looked very ancient and its paged were yellowed.
The figure didn't care about these things, and he focused his attention on the text.
The figure was lost in the text, and after reading the first scroll completely he was lost in thought.
What was recorded in the scroll was the origin of the Hyuga Clan's Main Family and Branch Family system.
Such a system has existed since the beginning but there was no such thing as the Cage Bird Juinjutsu that branded and bound the Branch Family to be the servants of the main family.
It was only after the Hyuga Clan suffered a cataclysm that among the surviving members of the Clan, the Patriarch that was chosen at that time, worked with other Shinobi of the Hyuga Clan, with the help of some of the Uzumaki Clan Shinobi and finally created the Cage Bird Juinjutsu that could protect the Byakugan from being gouged out by others.
In other words, the origin of Cage Bird Juinjutsu is based on a catastrophe that the Hyuga Clan once suffered.
And the text did not end there, there is also an explanation as to how the original Juinjutsu didn't have anything that would allow the people of the Main Family to control those of the Branch Family.
They didn't have such power.
But with the passage of time, things changed. As the generations changed, and so did the situation of the Warring States Era, and the patriarch felt the need to have some control over the lives of the members of Branch Division, as once they are kidnapped by enemies, extracting intelligence becomes very easy.
So, the condition of controlling the life and death of the branch family members was added to the Bird Cage.
And then the situation changed, some people like the taste of power and control over the life and death of other humans. Some people of the Branch did not like this fact, and they tried to resist, now not everyone can be killed, as that would lead to the extinction of the clan, so another condition was added, the condition to punish.
With this nobody would be able to pose an opposition.
Along with that several more changes were made, and the original Juinjutsu evolved into the current Cage Bird Juinjutsu.
Making the members of the Branch Family eternal servants of the Main Family. With no control over their life and death. Making them nothing more than glorified noble slaves.
After reading the entire scroll a question came to the person's mind, "What was the cataclysm that the Hyuga Clan faced?"
There was no description of that in the scroll.
Not even the slightest mention of it. Just what exactly happened that made Hyuga Clan suffered so much and left them with no choice but to resort to developing a Juinjutsu to ensure the safety of their clan?

After reading through all the three scrolls that he stole from the forbidden section, the person had a better understanding of the history of the Hyuga Clan, Byakugan, Cage Bird Juinjutsu, Gently Fist Taijutsu, and Main Family – Branch Family division system.
Based on everything that he has read up to now, the Cataclysm that led to the near destruction of the Hyuga Clan was undoubtedly related to Byakugan as well.
The fact that the Cage Bird Juinjutsu was developed in order to protect the Byakugan from being gouged out indicates that the Cataclysm was further because others wanted to steal Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan.
But this has further confused him. Since who exactly wanted to steal the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan is not described here, as such, there is no solid base for any speculation.
After all, Hyuga Clan too is a Noble Clan with a strong and unique Kekkei Genkai. There are countless who would want to have this Kekkei Genkai but are they strong enough to threaten the survival of the entire clan?
After all, even during the Warring States Era, there were very few Clans within the Land of Fire who could truly fight threaten the Hyuga Clan.
Since this matter is of the time before the birth of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, so it can be said without a doubt that at that time, Uzumaki Clan, Senju Clan, Uchiha Clan along with the very few other shinobi clans had the power to fight against Hyuga Clan on an even front.
After all, a Byakugan is no inferior to a simple Sharingan. Hyuga Taijutsu also gives Hyuga Shinobi enough mastery to go against the Senjus.
So, it stands to reason that not many could pose a real threat to the Hyuga Clan.
And out of those who could go against the Hyuga Clan wouldn't really want the Byakugan. Uchiha Shinobis are prideful and they would never give Byakugan such worth that they themselves would want to steal it.
Senju's too are the same. Their principle would never allow them to steal the Byakugan. Moreover, they would never dare to do something that would force the Hyuga Clan to ally with the Uchiha Clan.
Meanwhile, the Uzumaki Clan assisted the Hyuga Clan in the development of Juinjutsu, it is very unlikely that Uzumaki Clan was the cause.
Other Shinobi Clan hardly had the strength to do anything. Therefore, the person couldn't exactly determine the exact cause.
Sighing slightly, he soon folded back the scroll with a disappointed look.
His objective was unaccomplished.
With the emergence of more and more Uchiha with the Mangekyou Sharingan, a doubt has sprouted within his heart, 'Is it possible to evolve Byakugan to a higher level of ocular power?'
Both are similar types of Kekkei Genkai, so technically it should be possible, right?
With this thought in mind, he ventured into the forbidden section.
Killing the guards, and trying to break through the seal of that vault was just an act of diversion, the true objective was to steal a pair of Byakugan as well as the history of Byakugan and Hyuga Clan to see the possibility of the evolution of Byakugan into a high level of ocular power.
So, although he managed to acquire a Byakugan pair by killing that elder and also stole these scrolls along with diverting the attention of all parties into thinking that his objective was the Cage Bird Juinjutsu.
But the end result still frustrated him.
According to his records, in the millennium years long history of the Hyuga Clan, there has never been a precedent of the evolution of Byakugan into a higher level of Ocular Power.
"Both Byakugan and Sharingan are Dojutsu type Kekkei Genkai, then why is it that Sharingan can evolve into Mangekyou Sharingan but Byakugan always remains Byakugan? Is it truly the case that Byakugan is inferior to Sharingan as the rumors have been circulating in the village?"
With a discouraged look, the person picked up the scrolls and was ready to destroy them but just when he was ready to destroy the scroll, he suddenly saw a pattern on the case of one of the scrolls.
With a raised eyebrow he halted and observed the pattern for a while. From the looks of it, it didn't really mean anything, but when he looked at the other two cases, he again saw patterns on those two scrolls, what's intriguing here was that the patterns on both the scrolls were different, and yet similar somewhat similar.
Curious, he sat down again and drew the pattern from line to line on three different pieces of paper, then he placed those three pieces of paper together only to find that it seemed to be part of a map.
But the map was obviously incomplete as it was still missing a large part.
'Why is there a map hidden here? Does it lead to somewhere?'
"it seems that I must steal the other scrolls too!" – muttered the person as he realized that he has finally obtained some kind of clue to something!
…
Kuroto's home.
Understanding that this was the work of the traitor, Kuroto decided to put the matter to the side. It is obvious that the other party will be especially cautious for a while as such it is impossible that they will make any mistakes that would give them out during this time. So, finding the traitor would obviously take a lot of time.
Moreover, Kuroto is even unsure of what bait he should use to draw out the other party, so it is best to put the matter to the side for a while.
Of course, he will take a precautionary measure such that neither he nor Yui is affected by this and everything else doesn't matter.
As long as he and Yui are safe, and no matter how much trouble the traitor cases for the Hyuga Clan, it will have little impact on Kuroto's plan. In contrast, now that he has finally got his hands on the scroll of Chimera Technique so researching and perfecting it is obviously Kuroto's top priority.
If the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku remains true then Juubi will inevitably be revived, Uchiha Madara will ultimately become the Juubi's Jinchuriki, Otsutsuki Kaguya will eventually be freed from her seal and the other members of the Otsutsuki Clan will sooner or later come to the Shinobi World.
Before all these people cause chaos to the Shinobi World, Kuroto has to complete his Plans and attain Godhood, so every unimportant thing can be put to the side for now.
Anyway, as long as he remains in the dark, no one will be truly vigilant of him, and that is his greatest advantage.
And as long as he attains true Godhood by achieving Kekkei Mora, there will be nothing that he wouldn't be able to accomplish in this Shinobi World.
The main objectives and side objectives are clear to Kuroto, and the main objective, for now, is to study the Chimera Technique as that is the path to attaining everything.
With this thought in mind, Kuroto held the sleeping Yui tightly and he too entered the land of dreams.
…
A few hours later.
Kuroto was sitting in his study room with the scroll of Chimera Technique.
For the Chimera Technique, Chimera Buds or Leech (the blue gluey material) is important as that is what acts as the mediator between the core (main body) and the target subject (target bodies to be absorbed) and help the core absorb the subject.
And the creation of Chimera Buds is no easy task.
They have to match your own genetic combination and Chakra Wavelength, so it would take quite a bit of monetary value to make them.
But aside from all that, what made Kuroto feels troubled is that the Chimera Buds also have their own negative effects in the Absorption Ritual.
And realizing this, Kuroto can now more accurately judge one of the serious problems within Hiruko's ritual.
During the ritual, the Chimera Buds will be absorbed within the core, and that's problematic, even if they are created keeping the genetic combination of the core in mind, they will never become a part of the core.
What's more, expelling them outside is also no easy matter.
In other words, the end result will never be a true success!
"Hiruko's ritual was flawed from the root…!" – Kuroto reached this conclusion.
Hiruko may have survived the ritual and gained the five Kekkei Genkai, but as time passes the flaws will start to become more and more apparent. And at the end, these flaws will result in his death.
Every time he is injured seriously, he will suffer from the consequent backlashes until his soul will no longer be able to support him.
"It seems that I have to further research on Chimera Buds!" – muttered Kuroto.
