Chapter 172
"This is impossible!!!"
After seeing this miraculous scene, Hyuga Tentoki's face was extremely horrified, his facial features were exaggeratedly distorted, and his roar pierced the sky.
As the head of the clan, he knew very well that without the restraint of the caged bird, the rule of the Hyuga main family over the branch family would come to an end.
As expected, the Hyuga branch family that was supposed to guard the main family suddenly turned against him, and rushed towards him one after another, regardless of everything. The people of the main family were furious and decisively activated the caged bird curse.
After the caged bird was activated, people kept screaming and dying, but this group of branch families were fearless and the caged bird could not deal with so many people. Several elders of the main family were killed in the counterattack. Hyuga Tentoki had to take action and kill the besieged branch families one by one.
With his bloodstained face, he looked as ferocious as a demon from hell. Facing this tragic scene, his eyes went dark and he murmured in despair:
"Hyuga, it's over..."
"The only one that will be finished is the Hyuga clan."
Using the chaos just now as a cover, Senju Tobirama quietly infiltrated the dungeon, blocked Hyuga Tentoki's movements with his powerful palm, and instantly performed the Flying Thunder God Technique to take him to the underground prison deep in Konoha.
The Anbu ninjas who came with him did not hesitate and used various means to control the remaining clans. Senju Momoka used drugs and strange powers to knock out several clan elders, and the Konoha ninjas outside also rushed down to the dungeon. Hashirama was afraid that these clan elders would get in the way, so he used Wood Release to tie them up into cocoons.
"All Hyuga branches leave immediately, and the main family will be handled by the village!"
Under Taohua's command, the old, weak, women and children of the branch families reacted and rushed to the exit. When they finally saw the night sky, the survivors hugged and cried.
The bird in the cage finally flew out of the cage and gained freedom.
.....
After waking up, the villagers who did not know the truth were surprised to find that the patriarch and members of the main family of the Hyuga clan were all arrested, and some branches were not spared, and the first public trial in Konoha's history was about to begin.
For a time, the attention inside and outside Konoha reached its peak, and the entire ninja world was hotly discussing this matter.
There was no way, this matter was too big, and the people arrested were members of the Hyuga clan, and these were not ordinary branch family members, but the entire Hyuga main family!
On the day of the public trial, the square was crowded with people, and countless eyes were staring at the members of the Hyuga clan standing in the center in prison uniforms. Their faces were haggard, and their former majesty was gone, which attracted whispers and discussions from the people around them.
Senju Tobirama, who was temporarily pushed out to act as a judge, waved his hand, and the members of the barrier class immediately understood and quickly set up an isolation but non-soundproof barrier around the trial seat. Tobirama looked solemn and sentenced Hyuga Tentoki's crimes:
"Hyuga Tentoki, the clan members headed by you murdered a total of 37 branch family members."
"And this is just your latest crime. Without pursuing the old accounts before the village was built, only counting the number of people after Hyuga joined Konoha, this number may have exceeded 50."
The crowd was boiling in an instant, and the scene was in an uproar. Those who reacted cast contemptuous eyes at Hyuga Tentoki.
This number is comparable to the number of casualties in a medium-sized battle in the past. Which family head would harm his own family so hard?
With his Byakugan completely sealed, Hyuga Tentoki could not see the contemptuous look at all. He raised his head with difficulty to defend himself:
"I didn't kill these people."
As he said, as the head of the main family, he did not do it himself. All these branch families were killed by his subordinates.
"Don't you think you can shirk responsibility like this?"
Tobirama raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes swept across Hyuga Tentoki who was crawling on the ground.
Konoha not only needs to implement the law, but also makes everyone believe in the law. Hyuga Tentoki is a perfect example of killing a chicken to scare the monkey, which is the best way to shock people and establish authority.
"You are the clan leader and the mastermind. You are closely related to the whole thing."
Several branch families came forward, including Hyuga Kotoshin and Hyuga Yu. Their foreheads were smooth and flawless, and they had obviously gotten rid of the caged bird's shackles, but most of the branch families still wore bandages, covering up the fact that they had not yet been freed from the shackles.
It is not easy to remove the curse from the soul, especially when the death line of the caged bird is entangled with the death line of the brain. Shen Yue had to spend a lot of energy and physical strength to ensure that she would not wipe out the branch family at the same time.
Faced with many branch families who needed to be freed from the curse, her physical strength was gradually overdrawn, and she was gradually unable to do it. Uchiha Madara was not happy that his beloved disciple worked so hard for the Hyuga clan. He had no friendship with the Hyuga people.Seeing that things were almost over, Madara simply took Shenyue back to the Uchiha clan to rest, and the mess fell on Tobirama again.
Fortunately, after interrogating all the main family members and searching the memories of Hyuga Tentoki, Tobirama knew that the range of the caged bird was only 5 meters.
For now, he just had to keep a close watch on the main family. He had plenty of time to slowly find a way to crack the caged bird.
In the witness stand, the Hyuga clan member, as a witness, spoke with tears in his eyes, telling the sad life of the branch family as slaves of the main family, who were forced to become caged birds when they were young, without freedom and security.
Such true feelings were very contagious and touched the heartstrings of everyone present. Not long after, the eyes and expressions of the onlookers looking at the main family changed one after another, full of indignation and contempt.
Seeing that the emotions were so well rendered, Tobirama, who remained calm on the surface but was very satisfied in his heart, coughed lightly and signaled everyone to be quiet.
After reading the laws written in the Konoha Code, he issued a verdict without hesitation, thinking about what experiment he would use the pure Byakugan of the main family to do next:
"Death penalty--"
"What qualifications does the village have to judge us?"
When he heard that he was sentenced to death, Hyuga Tentoki was full of resentment and roared deafeningly, his voice full of anger and despair:
"What is wrong with the Hyuga treating its own people? Senju Hashirama, you promised the village not to interfere with the rules of the ninja clan, but you broke your promise!"
"All the ninja clans in Konoha, I know you are watching, think about it, the village can treat the Hyuga main family like this today, and it can treat you like this in the future!"
Hyuga Tentoki shouted hysterically, his words were full of warnings and threats, but his words were not aimless, and the ninja clan has never been clean. If the village really wants to kill them in the future, it will definitely find a reason.
Some of the ninja clan leaders and elders turned pale and began to feel uneasy. They couldn't help but think about what they would do if it was their turn next.
Facing the commotion, Tobirama remained calm as usual. He knew that Hyuga Tentoki would say this.
However, he had no intention of getting up to solve the problem. He let his elder brother deal with the problem himself.
"I did promise that at the beginning."
Wearing the Hokage robe, Hashirama Senju slowly stepped onto the podium. The eyes of the audience instantly focused on him. He turned around and faced Hyuga Tentoki. The next words were very firm:
"Hyuga Tentoki, you are right. I did not keep my word. Today, I will take back what I said."
"Hashirama Senju, my Hyuga clan has never owed the village a single thing. We have carried out all the orders and tasks of the village. What qualifications do you have to judge the rules of our Hyuga clan for hundreds of years?"
Looking at the almost crazy Hyuga Tentoki, Hashirama's heart was full of determination to change this twisted family. This was the decision he made after cleaning up and collecting the corpses of the branch families in the dungeon.
If the rules of the Hyuga clan are to enslave and torture the branch families, then as the Hokage, he must not sit idly by.
Such twisted rules, let Konoha break them!
"The Hyuga branch that you killed and tortured is also a part of the village."
After saying these words in a deep voice, Hashirama no longer paid attention to Hyuga Tentoki, but turned to look at the huge crowd in the square.
"If there are still people who think he is right and think that the village should not interfere in the affairs of the clan, then leave Konoha, I will never stop you!"
Everyone looked at each other. Even if there were really dissatisfied people, no one dared to really take action.
Whoever leaves Konoha now is a super big fool. Not only will he be laughed at by outsiders, but he will also be hated by the clan members. He will live in endless accusations and hatred for the rest of his life.
"Those who want to leave, I will give you three days. Konoha will not pursue you, let alone hunt you down."
Hashirama Senju on the high platform, at this moment, restrained his usual laughing, gentle and generous appearance, showing a majestic and calm temperament.
The villagers rarely had the opportunity to see him so serious, and they couldn't help but feel awe. The originally noisy square quickly fell silent, and everyone held their breath and waited quietly for Hashirama's speech.
"Those who are still in Konoha after three days, I will assume that you accept and are willing to abide by Konoha's new order."
Hashirama's words were loud and clear, echoing in every corner of the square. His firm tone and sincere expression quickly infected everyone, making people unable to help but believe in his promise.
"The village will protect everyone. This is what Madara and I decided to do when we founded the village. The village will not allow foreign enemies to invade, and will never allow cannibalism!"
"Anyone who dares to destroy the village will be punished!"An Ning, anyone who hurts his compatriots will be punished by the village, even if that person is me! "
At the end, Hashirama also brought up the sentence that Shen Yue had said to him, "If a daimyo breaks the law, he will be punished just like the common people", but now he slightly changed it:
"If a Hokage breaks the law, he will be punished just like the villagers."
This simple sentence, like a lightning bolt tearing through the night, instantly aroused a double storm of mind and emotion in the village.
In the square, people's reactions were different, with cheers and surprise, as well as admiration and confusion. Various emotions intertwined, as if to tear the sky of Konoha apart.
Unconsciously, people's trust in Konoha's laws has risen again. After all, even a famous family like the Hyuga cannot escape the sanctions of the law, so what reason do they have not to believe it?
