Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Transfer Stick, Naruto's Branch House System
"Naruto, can you really help me unblock the Caged Bird?"
Upon entering the house, Neji could no longer contain the longing in his heart and asked softly, his voice tinged with anxiety.
"Of course, I wouldn't lie to you!"
Naruto put down the ramen in his hand, raised his hand to signal Neji to sit down, and said casually.
At the same time, Naruto communicated with Doraemon inside him.
"Doraemon, do you have any items to transfer or eliminate damage?
Bring me a..."
Naruto's voice instantly resonated through the sealed space as he thought.
Lying on the soft fur of the Nine-Tails, watching Doraemon in the comic book after eating and drinking, the little cat was so startled by the sudden shout that he nearly fell to the ground.
Hastily putting away the comics, he feared that Naruto would burst in unexpectedly.
As for why he was lying on the Nine-Tails, it was, of course, because the Nine-Tails was currying favor with Doraemon.
"I'm searching...
I found something.
The Transfer Stick can send unnecessary things to other places, and it can also transfer damage.
Ten minutes for 2,000 crash points."
Doraemon, who felt guilty, quickly found an item and shouted loudly.
"Then I'll take it.
Thanks, Doraemon..."
Naruto's surprised voice echoed again, and the Transfer Stick in Doraemon's hand disappeared instantly!
"Huh... so dangerous...
I almost got caught by Naruto using my crash points."
Doraemon wiped nonexistent sweat from his forehead and patted his chest in relief.
"So what if you get found out?
It's just a little money,"** the Nine-Tails lazily opened one eye, turned her head to stare at Doraemon suspiciously, and curled her lips in confusion.
In the Nine-Tails' mind, crash points were just coins.
"What do you know!
Naruto only has 4,100 crash points.
This Transfer Stick cost another 2,000 points.
If he knew I spent 500 points on renting gourmet tablecloths and comic books,
he would be furious..."
Doraemon took out the comic book again, worrying while reading it.
This behavior looked so upright that the Nine-Tails was left speechless.
Did you always act like this?
However, the Nine-Tails had no intention of snitching.
It silently noted this down, ready to play it by ear.
It wanted to be in the same boat...
Outside the world
With Naruto's hand on his back, a small L-shaped stick suddenly appeared. At one end of the stick, there was something resembling a small suction cup.
The moment it manifested, Naruto understood how to use it.
"Naruto, as long as you help me release this Caged Bird,
I can do anything you want me to do!"
Neji gritted his teeth when he heard Naruto confirm there was a way, expressing his loyalty with sincere eyes.
In Neji's view, there was no such thing as help without a reason.
The only thing he had was his own loyalty.
"Haha...
I don't want your loyalty.
I just can't understand the branch house system of the Hyuga family!
In the name of protecting the bloodline, it's ridiculous to use the time of birth to measure the fate of one's own children.
It's true that the branch house system of the Hyuga family has largely protected some weak clansmen.
But I don't agree with this system.
What does the Hyuga clan think?
There are so many excellent methods, yet they choose one of the most foolish systems.
If it were me, I would divide the branch houses according to talent or strength, with different standards at different ages.
Only those who fail to meet the standard would be engraved with the Caged Bird seal.
This is not only to prevent the eyes from flowing out but also a spur.
It also serves as a restriction to prevent the clan from abusing the Caged Bird.
We should encourage every clan member who yearns for freedom to work hard.
Let every clansman have the hope of controlling their own destiny.
This is a superior branch house system.
The Hyuga family would also become more prosperous and powerful.
Rather than letting the clan rely on the Caged Bird to flaunt their power, the branch houses will never have a bright future.
How much future can a person who is destined from birth truly have?"
Naruto reprimanded, pretending to be angry, taking the opportunity to indoctrinate Neji with his thoughts.
What did he want with Neji's loyalty?
What he wanted was for Neji to change his fate, split or subvert the Hyuga clan, and gain Honkai points.
"Divide the branch houses according to talent or strength!
Let every clansman have the hope of controlling their destiny..."
Neji's dull pupils trembled, and he mechanically repeated Naruto's words, his heart trembling with fear!
Being in the Hyuga branch house, Neji had a deep understanding of the main branch's system.
Indeed, as Naruto said, the Caged Bird is sometimes a form of protection for the Hyuga branch.
But that's only true for clansmen with mediocre talents!
Moreover, it's also a reality that the main family can use the branch house without restraint due to the Caged Bird.
The branch house not only protects the clan but has also served the clan for generations!
If they follow this system, it is a form of luck for mediocre clansmen to be protected by the Caged Bird.
The descendants of the branch house might also have outstanding talents and become the head of the family.
Under such circumstances, the main family wouldn't act so unscrupulously.
After all, who can guarantee that the children of the branch house won't become the new main family?
As for the children of the clan, will they become members of the branch house?
This truly breaks the insurmountable hierarchy between the clan and the branch houses.
This is the correct way to use the Caged Bird seal!
Neji thought of his father, Hyuga Hizashi, who had died for his uncle because he was a branch house member, and a great deal of resentment filled his heart.
Thinking of Hinata, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga family, made him feel even more aggrieved...
Such mediocre talent, just because of birth, is favored by the clan.
And he, as the first genius of Hyuga, can only become the guardian ninja of the clan's heir.
Hyuga must change!
"Naruto, thank you for your understanding...
Please help me untie the Caged Bird.
I will lead the new Hyuga and be your forever friend..."
Hyuga Neji looked at Naruto with firm eyes, each word pronounced sonorously and forcefully.
