Sota opened his Byakugan, beginning to investigate possible surveillance.
After checking, under the gazes of everyone, he made a gesture of placing his hand horizontally on his chest.
The people below had their gazes tighten and also made the same gesture.
Koshin this time did not let the Branch Family come onto the field, nor did he arouse the Main Family's defense and vigilance.
Other than Koshin's death, these "seeds" of the Branch Family were completely unharmed.
"Sota, why is it you, didn't Lord Koshin say…", Mutou was a little anxious, he knew that Sota had always been excluded from the New Bud Plan.
Sota raised one hand, "I don't plan to listen to Lord Koshin."
"Whether it's Lord Hizashi's grace, or Lord Koshin's teachings. Have both made me unable to stand aside."
Mutou was speechless. How were they not also joining this plan voluntarily out of gratitude for Lord Hizashi's care?
New Bud was extremely dangerous. Of those who joined this plan, at least half would not survive.
Among the current younger generation, the most talented was Sota.
Koshin excluded Sota exactly because he hoped Sota could become the new bud of the Hyuga clan.
It was just that Koshin did not expect that Sota simply did not intend to listen to him.
Shuji sighed, "Sota, you want to join this plan, we won't oppose you. But why do you want to be an elder?"
What he meant was not that Sota was seizing their power. But that in their plan, the elder was the one closest to the upper ranks, and also the one most easily killed.
This position was also the most important link in the New Bud Plan.
Sota said calmly, "I know, my strength might still be a bit behind Yuto, but I grow quickly, and will soon meet the requirement."
"All of you have people behind you and have formed factions. Hiashi will be more wary of you."
"I am alone, the easiest to get close to Hiashi."
Yuto at this time said, "I will write down all my cultivation insights for you."
"You have to grow quickly."
Sota nodded, "I have discretion. Once there's an opportunity, I will notify everyone."
Among the Main Family including Hiashi, there were four people who held the secret curse that could execute the Branch Family's Caged Bird.
The closer the distance of the curse, the faster the release speed. At close range, half a breath would result in death.
The Branch Family hadn't rebelled, because there was no way to resolve the clan head and the three elders within half a breath.
Not to mention that Hiashi and the Great Elder had both been to war. Their strength and vigilance were both high.
It was just that now the Main Family had become more and more rotten. The three elders were people who had never been on the battlefield, yet had taken elder positions.
Thus, the New Bud Plan was born.
Other Main Family members also had the secret curse, but their curses could only punish, not kill.
But instantly incapacitating the Branch Family was equally dangerous. Unless they piled corpses, they could not purge the Main Family.
So, if the Branch Family were to take action, they must consider the entire Main Family.
They might even need five or ten years to lie low and find opportunity.
It would be best to wait for an elder to die of old age or illness.
Only then would their success rate rise.
Those who voluntarily joined the New Bud Plan, not only wanted to avenge Hizashi, but also to overthrow the cruel slave system between the Hyuga Main and Branch Families.
For the sake of their descendants being able to live like humans, not like dogs of the Main Family.
"Did Lord Koshin leave anything?", Shuji asked.
These were all trustworthy companions. Sota also handed over the scroll left by Koshin to Yuto, Mutou, and Shuji.
The three all knew what roles they played in the New Bud Plan. They compared Koshin Elder's plan roughly.
More attention was focused on the truth of Lord Hizashi's death from a few years ago.
At that time Koshin had followed beside Hizashi, he was the one who witnessed the entire process.
After everyone finished reading Koshin's detailed account, their eyes were filled with hatred.
Moreover, this time's matter was clearly the Main Family trying to bring down Uchiha, but used the Branch Family as scapegoats again.
The Main Family used Neji and other Branch Family members as threats. Lord Koshin had no choice.
"Damn it!", After reading, Yuto's forehead veins popped, but those who could join this plan, the first requirement was to be able to hold back their emotions.
Yuto, after taking a deep breath, suppressed his anger.
Only that from his eyes, one could still see a bone-deep hatred and disgust for the Main Family.
There were twenty-some people present, and after passing it around, they quickly went over all the scroll's content.
Everyone's gaze became fierce as if they wanted to eat someone.
Especially after seeing Koshin once again made a scapegoat.
That feeling of helplessness and pain of the Branch Family deeply seeped into their bones.
Shuji clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention, "All of us these years, more or less, have suffered the Main Family's oppression and exploitation."
"Lord Hizashi's death is not an end, but only a beginning."
"Lord Koshin once again became a scapegoat, once again proving that if we Branch Family do not resist, misfortune will one day fall upon us."
"We are not only doing this for our own generation, but also for our descendants."
Everyone present, the fury in their eyes was replaced by a light called "belief."
"New Bud, will surely break through the soil!"
"New Bud, will surely break through the soil!"

[Uchiha Clan Grounds]
"Fourth Elder, we've returned."
Travel-worn Tokiyo, finally after a long journey, brought back Karin and her mother.
"Thank you, lord, for saving my life," Karin's mother knelt and paid a grand bow to Rengoku upon seeing him.
As a remnant of the Land of Whirlpools, she had spent her life searching for a place where she could survive.
Finally settling in the Grass Ninja Village, but the Grass Ninja Village only treated her as a cheap healing tool.
Making her, a member of the Uzumaki clan, exhaust her life force and die before thirty.
Even so, she had never thought about leaving the Grass Ninja Village.
The most important reason was that outside a ninja village, they simply had nowhere else to go.
The ninja world was a very chaotic place, surviving was extremely difficult.
Karin's mother also wanted her child to survive.
But she didn't even know that not long after her death, her daughter would also be treated as a human blood pack.
If it weren't for the human trafficker Orochimaru taking notice of her, she probably wouldn't have lived to adulthood.
Now Rengoku's intervention meant she wouldn't be sucked dry and could even be accepted into the Uchiha clan.
This was simply a great blessing falling from the sky.
"All right, stand up first. Since you've come to our Uchiha clan, you belong to Uchiha now."
"Tokiyo, go down and rest first."
"Rinjin, arrange their residence, later assign her some tasks."
