The domineering Uchiha drove the Third Hokage mad!

Chapter 153 The Caged Bird...Disappears

In the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed.

In the 53rd year of Konoha, in the capital of the Land of Water, the Uchiha Mitsuru stood by the railing, gazing into the distance.

In the four years since he succeeded as the daimyo of the Land of Water, this land has gradually begun to prosper, becoming completely different from the capital of the Land of Water a few years ago.

The Land of Water, New Konoha Village, Hokage's Office.

A member of the Anbu suddenly appeared, kneeling on one knee: "Hokage-sama, the Three-Tails Isobu has been resurrected!"

The Sixth Hokage, Orochimaru, licked his lips with interest: "The exact location?"

The ANBU calmly replied, "The southern coral reef area has just been revived, and the chakra reaction is somewhat weak."

......

The Sixth Hokage, Orochimaru, his golden snake eyes flashing: "Oh? The Three-Tails, Isobu, that's certainly worth studying in depth."

Advisor Elder Nara Shikaku rubbed his temples: "The resurrection of the Tailed Beasts means that the balance of power has been broken. We already have the Nine-Tails and the Six-Tails. If we add the Three-Tails, we will have three Tailed Beasts. The other major powers will definitely not stand idly by."

Hyuga Hizashi activated his Byakugan and looked south: "Having just been revived, my chakra is a bit weak."

Elder Yuanshi, leaning on his cane, said, "While the Three-Tails is still weak, let's decide on the candidate for its jinchūriki."

......

At this time, Uchiha Mitsunori also received news of the Three-Tails' resurrection, and he awakened the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

My gaze pierced through space and landed on the little turtle that had just been resurrected.

He pondered, "Is this the Three-Tails that just revived? Because it's just revived, it's still in its juvenile stage and looks like a little turtle."

Looking at the little turtle, a bold idea came to Uchiha Mitsunori's mind.

The Hyuga clan's bloodline leans towards the Otsutsuki, but their weakness is that they have relatively little chakra.

If they were to become Jinchūriki of the Tailed Beasts, many changes might occur if they had enough chakra.

After careful consideration, he concluded that both Hyuga Neji and Hyuga Hinata possessed considerable talent.

If the Three-Tailed Beast were split into Yin and Yang parts and sealed into their bodies respectively, it might bring about unexpected changes.

So he slowly turned around and instructed the guards standing behind him: "Immediately summon Orochimaru, Shikaku, Hizashi, and Elder Genji to a meeting."

After receiving the order, the guards left as quickly as the wind.

Before long, Orochimaru, Shikaku, Hizashi, and Elder Genshi arrived.

The group sat around the conference table, the atmosphere heavy and serious.

After the meeting began,

Uchiha Mitsunori looked around at everyone present and said, "Everyone, after careful consideration, I believe that since the Three-Tails has not yet recovered its full power, perhaps we can try a new method—to split the Three-Tails into Yin and Yang parts."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire conference room fell silent.

Uchiha Mitsunori continued, "Hyuga Neji and Hyuga Hinata have good talent, so I want to seal the Yin-Yang Three-Tails into their bodies. However, the Three-Tails is too weak right now, so we'll seal it in six months."

Hiashi Hyuga was somewhat flattered: "Daimyo-sama... this... isn't this a bit inappropriate...?"

Uchiha Mitsumine smiled slightly: "Hiashi, that's enough, meeting adjourned!"

Six months passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the sealed chamber, Sanfeng activated his Celestial Mode, his body enveloped in the radiance of natural energy.

He stood in the center of a specially made sealing array, his hands forming an ancient hand seal inherited from the Land of Demons.

"Yin and Yang separate, soul and body split!"

The sealing array shone brightly, and the tiny three-tailed creature let out a painful howl within the array. Its body gradually split into two halos of light, namely the Yang Three-tailed Creature and the Yin Three-tailed Creature.

Beside them, four-year-old Neji and three-year-old Hinata stood side by side.

Hinata Hyuga, her white eyes filled with unease, asked softly, "Neji-nii-san, are you scared?"

Hyuga Neji gripped her hand tightly: "Don't be afraid. It's our honor to serve the Daimyo."

The sealing ceremony begins.

Uchiha Mitsuru injected the Yang Three-Tails into Neji's body and the Yin Three-Tails into Hinata's body.

The two children gritted their teeth and endured the excruciating pain, their forehead veins bulging, but neither of them cried out.

After the ceremony ended, Hyuga Neji collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

Surprisingly, the Caged Bird Seal on his forehead, set up by the main family, developed a slight crack under the impact of Yang Sanwei.

Hinata Hyuga stood quietly in place, her body radiating a faint silver glow.

She gently helped Neji up, a strange light flashing in her eyes: "Neji-nii's eyes... have changed a bit."

"This is..." Hiashi Hyuga took a step forward in shock.

After examining the Byakugan with his Eye of God technique, Uchiha Mitsunori said, "Your Byakugan requires a large amount of chakra to nourish it. With the high-quality chakra of the Three-Tails, the Byakugan evolved rapidly, which caused some impact on the Caged Bird Seal..."

As night fell and the city lights came on, the Daming Prefecture was quiet and peaceful.

Uchiha Mitsunori sat on the sofa in the living room, surrounded by his wives who listened to him recount the day's ceremony.

Tsunade was holding Shiryu, who was still babbling in her arms.

She raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Splitting the Three-Tails? You have too many ideas. That would create another Jinchūriki."

Uchiha Mikoto silently poured her husband a cup of tea, then said with concern, "But those two children are so young, and they have to shoulder such a heavy responsibility. I'm really worried..."

Uchiha Mitsunori took the teacup Mikoto offered, took a small sip, and then comforted her, saying, "In this chaotic world, strength is the best protection. Moreover, the Hyuga clan's bloodline is special; with the blessing of the tailed beast's chakra, it might undergo a qualitative change."

His gaze fell on Zilong, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.

The little guy was looking around curiously, seemingly uninterested in the adults' conversation.

Tsunade chuckled softly: "Alright, since you've made up your mind, we'll fully support you."

Uchiha Mitsunori nodded and said solemnly, "This is just the beginning; the road ahead is long. I'm actually quite looking forward to seeing how Hyuga Neji and Hyuga Hinata will change in the future."

Several months later, at the Hyuga clan's training ground, Neji and Hinata were sparring.

Surprisingly, the Caged Bird Seal on Neji's forehead is gradually fading.

Hinata exclaimed in surprise, "Neji-nii... your Caged Bird Seal... is it going to disappear?"

Hyuga Neji stood there, stunned, touching his forehead in disbelief.

For years... the shackles that bound him... have simply vanished...
