Chapter 224 Shizune Wants to Take It a Step Further
If Shirokumo Aoba wanted the Hyuga clan's Caged Bird Technique, as the clan head, he would never agree to it under any circumstances.
But since the other party only wanted to study the caged bird mark on the branch family members, he had no reason to object.
The caged bird was never designed with a solution in mind.
Even as the clan leader, he had no means to break the caged bird curse.
Once it's engraved, there's no way to decipher it.
The Hyuga clan is not afraid of others studying the Caged Bird Seal, because no one has been able to decipher it in nearly a thousand years.
This is the wisdom of our ancestors.
Seeing that Shirokumo Aoba nodded slightly, Hyuga Hiashi asked again.
"Aoba, can you tell me why you want to study caged birds?"
In his view, Shirokumo Aoba had absolutely no reason to want to break the caged bird.
The only branch family member the other party had the most contact with was Hyuga Natsumi.
It couldn't be that he's taken a liking to Xia...
and many more!
Hiashi Hyuga's eyes sharpened.
He seemed to understand something.
Baiyun Qingye, of course, had no idea what the other party was thinking, and explained, "I just had a sudden inspiration, perhaps I can gain some inspiration from the Caged Bird Technique."
That's one reason...
Hiashi Hyuga's lips twitched. "In that case, I'll find a member of a branch family to help you with your research, Ning..."
"Why don't we let Xia come?"
Before Hiashi Hyuga could speak, Shirokumo Aoba interrupted him, stopping him from saying the name he was about to utter.
"..."
good good!
Hiashi Hyuga mentally said "good" three times in a row.
He understood everything.
The true intentions have been revealed.
After all that buildup, he thought the other party was genuinely doing what was best for the Hyuga clan. Turns out, this was their real purpose.
They've almost kidnapped his two daughters, and now they're even after his maid.
He didn't even dare to think about who would be his next target.
Shirokumo Aoba looked at Hyuga Hiashi, who had suddenly fallen silent and whose expression had become somewhat distorted, and felt that the other party seemed to have misunderstood something.
There might not be any misunderstanding.
"call--"
Hiashi Hyuga let out a long breath, suppressing his emotions and keeping a straight face.
"I'll talk to Xia about this."
"Thank you very much, Uncle Hiashi. As for the time, how about we start after the Chunin Exams?"
"Row!"
Hiashi Hyuga agreed with a forced smile.
"Aoba, don't tell Hinata and the others what we're talking about. Also, don't let anyone else know that you're planning to research the Caged Bird Seal."
Finally, Hiashi Hyuga offered a reminder to the other party.
After all, Shirokumo Aoba's identity is quite sensitive, given how much Tsunade values him.
The other party's actions often represent Tsunade's own intentions.
"I see!"
Shirokumo Aoba himself was well aware of this, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to speak with Hyuga Hiashi alone.
The conversation between the two ended.
Baiyun Qingye also got up and came to the door of the study.
But as the door slid open, a "kitten" fell on him.
"Brother Qingye".
Hyuga Hanabi, caught eavesdropping, blinked her big, watery eyes.
Attempting to get away with it by being cute.
Bai Yunqingye didn't say anything, but smiled and pinched her cheek.
"Aoba, why don't you stay for lunch later?"
Seeing that the two had finished talking, Hinata Ayako invited Shirakumo Aoba to stay for lunch.
"it is good."
Baiyun Qingye naturally accepted the invitation with pleasure.
In the time that follows.
He gave Hanabi some guidance on cultivation matters.
He couldn't just leave his disciple without teaching him anything, could he?
The only thing Shirokumo Aoba can teach Hanabi right now is some superhuman strength techniques.
Medical ninjutsu is too early to learn unless you want to become a medical ninja.
A combination of gentle fist techniques and superhuman strength might actually be quite effective.
However, ever since their conversation, he felt that Hiashi Hyuga was looking at him strangely.
It was filled with vigilance and caution.
At first, he thought it was because of Hinata and Hanabi.
But when it was lunchtime, Ayako Hinata tried to serve him some food, but Hiashi Hinata intercepted it.
Baiyun Qingye discovered the problem.
He felt that the other party must have misunderstood.
But he couldn't explain this kind of thing, so he simply ran away.
……
After lunch, the sky outside had cleared up.
After bidding farewell to Hinata and Hanabi, Shirokumo Aoba embarked on her journey home.
They hadn't gone far...
"Sister Shizune, did you wait here for me on purpose?"
Looking at Shizune in front of him, who was wearing a white dress.
Bai Yunqingye asked in a teasing tone.
Silent seemed too afraid to look up, and nodded with her head down.
I just learned from Tsunade what Yugao and the other person do every night.
Then she thought of the task that Lady Tsunade had given her.
Silent now dares not look directly at the white clouds and green leaves.
Feelings of grievance, shame, and anticipation filled her heart.
Her reaction also piqued Baiyun Qingye's curiosity.
He walked up to Jingyin and waved his hand in front of her.
"Sister Shizune, are you alright?"
Shizune immediately woke up and quickly said, "Ah...no, it's nothing!"
This appearance only made Bai Yun Qingye even more curious.
"Is there something you need from Sister Shizune?"
"Uh... Lady Tsunade just gave me a half-day off."
This answer is completely irrelevant.
Bai Yunqingye pondered to himself, looking at the dress he had never seen before on the other person, and at her shy demeanor.
I roughly guessed their purpose.
"This dress is so pretty, Shizune-neechan."
"Really...really?"
Shizune looked up, her eyes sparkling with the joy of being praised. "This is the first time I've worn a dress like this. I wonder how it looks?"
"She's almost too beautiful."
Baiyun Qingye added another compliment.
"It's not that exaggerated."
Shizune shrugged shyly and laughed.
"No exaggeration."
Baiyun Qingye said, "But why did Sister Jingyin suddenly decide to change her clothes?"
"...It's because of Lady Tsunade's mission."
"?"
Bai Yun Qingye's eyes widened; this sounded rather arrogant.
"So what is the teacher's task?"
To mute, blink and don't speak.
It seems this isn't a proper mission after all.
Have you had lunch?
Baiyun Qingye changed the subject.
"Not yet, I just went to pick out some clothes."
Silent shook her head.
"Let's go fill our stomachs first."
"But Aoba, you should have had lunch by now, right?"
"It's okay. If I'm with Sister Shizune, I can have another meal."
"That won't do. Eating too much in one meal is bad for your health."
"...Then I'll just watch you eat."
"...That's fine."
"..."
White Clouds, Green Leaves, and Silence walked side by side.
They didn't hold hands.
He didn't say anything.
Baiyun Qingye felt that Shizune seemed easy to bully today.
They used to be like the Big Bad Wolf, but now they've become a little lamb.
He reached out and took Shizune's hand.
Silent did not resist; instead, she adjusted her position and intertwined her fingers.
There was a hint of urgency in her shy eyes.
She raised Qingye, so why did Xiyan do those things with him?
She still has to rely on herself.
She also wanted to go further.
