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

Chapter 203 The Hyuga clan's internal affairs are none of the village's concern.

A branch family ninja rushed in front of the main family member, but instead of blocking the main family member's attack, he forcefully plunged his sword into the main family member's body.

His movements were devoid of any skill; they were purely desperate thrusts.

"ah----"

The main family member screamed and staggered backward, looking with horrified eyes at the branch family member who had also been stabbed by him.

He could see clearly that this person was not some kind of impure body; once stabbed, death would be certain.

But when they were exchanging wounds, this person did not hesitate at all, preferring to die from a fatal stab wound to stab a hole in the other.

In the instant he was stabbed, he saw clearly that the branch family member's eyes released an emotion that could only be described as ecstasy, mixed with a variety of complex emotions such as catharsis and relief. The light that flashed in those eyes for a moment was even more dazzling than the Tenseigan.

He couldn't understand why things were like this.

In his memory, this member of the family was the most docile. Every time he was punished, he didn't dare to look up at him and only knew to keep admitting his mistakes. But now—

Has the hatred between the branch family and the main family become so strong that they are willing to risk their lives for it?

The fear brought about by this realization terrified him more than the knife wound to his abdomen.

He suddenly realized how much venomous hatred was hidden behind those obsequious and respectful gestures.

But before he could figure it out, a large number of branch family ninjas surged forward again, hacking him to pieces with their blades.

"Hahaha—I killed a member of the main branch of the family!"

"I killed a member of the main branch of the family!"

A ninja suddenly shouted happily, his face full of excitement, as if he had accomplished some great feat.

The voice was choked with sobs, hoarse and unlike a human voice, more like the howl of a wild beast.

He abruptly pulled down his headband, revealing a bird-shaped curse mark underneath, and carefully smeared the blood from the tip of his knife onto it.

That was something he had always kept deeply hidden, something he was ashamed to show to others.

But now, he dares to openly expose this curse mark.

Because after tonight, these curse marks will no longer be symbols of shame, but totems of the rebels, silently recounting the patriarch's atrocities over the past century.

As he shouted, more and more of the branch families seemed to be encouraged, and their attacks became even more ferocious.

But soon, troublemakers arrived.

"Stop it!"

With a loud shout, a group of ninjas rushed towards them.

If Konoha Village hadn't discovered such a huge change in the village, it wouldn't have survived until now.

At first, Nara Shikasuke thought it was just some random thing the Hyuga main family was doing and didn't want to get involved, but he soon received news that the situation was serious.

The shouts of battle were deafening; it was clearly no small matter.

Nara Shikasuke became nervous and hurriedly led the villagers over, fearing that another enemy had infiltrated.

But before they could get close, a patrol team appeared in front of them in a flash.

"This is the Hyuga clan's territory. Please, Nara Jonin, stop here."

Nara Shikasuke glanced at him and immediately recognized that the person in front of him was indeed a member of the Hyuga branch family, not an imposter. He raised an eyebrow and shouted, "With the Hokage absent, I will temporarily take charge of all security matters in the village."

"Get out of the way right now!"

"Don't block my way to investigate!"

To everyone's surprise, the branch families stood firmly in front of them with cold faces and weapons in their hands, warning, "The internal affairs of my Hyuga clan are none of the village's business."

"Nara Jonin, you wouldn't be thinking of breaking the village's long-standing rule of neutrality, would you?"

"You!" Nara Shikasuke's eyes blazed with fury as he glared at the branch family member before him, but he was met only with indifference.

Hearing the sounds of fighting growing louder over there, Nara Shikasuke wanted to rush over, but he couldn't bear the responsibility of breaking the rules, so he shouted, "What are you doing over there?"

Why are so many people fighting?

"Who is the enemy?"

"Will this threaten the safety of the village?"

The leader of the branch family hesitated for a moment. Seeing the tense expressions on the faces of the villagers, who were also gripping their weapons and ready to force their way in, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Please rest assured, villagers, today's matter is purely an internal affair of the Hyuga clan. There are no external enemies."

"Are you sure?" Nara Shikasuke was still somewhat skeptical, suspecting that the man had been bribed, so he raised his voice and said, "Have Elder Hiyu of the main family come out and speak with me."

"After seeing him, I immediately took my men and left."

Upon hearing the mention of the main family, the expressions of the branch family members immediately changed.

"Hmph, now that things have come to this, there's nothing left to hide."

"9

"What is happening today is our branch family rising up to wipe out the main family that enslaves us."

"From today onwards, there will be no more head family."

"What?!" Not only Nara Shikasuke, but all the Konoha ninja were shocked. "Are you kidding me?"

"Nobody's joking with you."

Now that things have been brought to light, the branch families no longer pretend and openly displayed their hatred for the main family.

"Over the years, the main family has treated the branch family members like slaves, and they are always beaten or scolded."

"We've had enough of this kind of life."

"Today we will exterminate all the main families. Once the main families are all dead, our branch families will naturally be free."

Nara Shikasuke's head went blank for a moment, as if it had exploded.

When he was in charge of village affairs, the main family of a powerful clan like the Hyuga was wiped out. How serious is that!

"The village is severely weakened and in dire need of rebuilding. How can you fight amongst yourselves?"

"No, I have to stop you!"

"This is an internal matter of the Hyuga clan; it's none of your village's business!"

The branch family member tried to reason with him, but Nara Shikasuke had no intention of listening. He simply waved his hand and shouted, "This matter concerns the village's strength and safety; how can it be unrelated to the village?"

"Don't listen to his nonsense, charge in immediately and rescue the main family!"

"Yes!" The numerous Konoha ninja responded in unison and charged forward.

"Stop them! Don't let them in and interfere with the massacre plan!" The branch patrol tried desperately to stop them, but they were outnumbered and outmatched, and were immediately overwhelmed.

Having broken through the defenses, the Konoha ninjas immediately rushed towards the Hyuga cemetery, hoping to end the infighting.
