Chapter 251: Shocked to hear that the group is destroyed
The ritual of worshiping ancestors is not as complicated as outsiders think. Go to the built shrine, clean the inside sincerely, then offer flowers, burn incense, and pray seriously, which is the completion of the worship ceremony.
Of course, this is a process that ninjas have simplified. Otherwise, according to the rules of the nobility, worshiping a shrine requires at least three hundred people. They also need to wear specific priest uniforms and traditional costumes, and they must cut sacred trees locally to make a symbol of the Hyuga family.
Props and ceremonies.
Generally, the celebration ceremony lasts for a whole day, that is, twenty-four hours, and the process is extremely cumbersome. If there is really a bad unexpected situation, it is necessary to build several human pillars to offer sacrifices to the sky to pray for blessings.
Such a troublesome, complicated and cumbersome process is not suitable for the Hyuga clan at all, because... the Hyuga clan is really a big clan that has existed for hundreds of years. It has moved to more than ten places from ancient times to the present. All of them are according to the process. The Hyuga clan is open all year round.
There is no need to do anything else, just work hard to prepare and carry out the celebrations throughout the year!
When I came to the border of the Kingdom of Wind, I didn't want to pay homage to the small country that was destroyed by Hinata as Fuyuki thought. Instead, I wanted to pay homage to a shrine in an abandoned village, and then burn an incense stick for the unknown small country nearby.
"The village of the Hyuga clan is so strange..."
Dongshu glanced back at the village that had been abandoned for more than a hundred years and had been weathered and damaged, and murmured in a low voice.
This village was actually a residential village built by the Hyuga family in ancient times, but it was precisely because of this that Fuyuki complained about the strange shape inside.
The height and size of the houses are not uniform, and even in the ancient-style buildings, you can still see concrete buildings, Gothic-style church-like things, as well as a bunch of collapsed and scattered Roman columns, and dust-filled glassware.
What surprised Fuyuki the most was that there were several huge craters in the village that looked like meteorites. The shock wave almost destroyed the village itself, but there were no meteorites!
Even if Fuyuki is the strongest Hinata and is proficient in detection and counter-reconnaissance, Fuyuki still cannot replay what exactly happened here.
Not to mention that Fuyuki didn't know, Hizu and the elders also knew nothing about it. They only knew that the Hyuga family almost fell into this large village of a thousand people, and the Hyuga family has since become a medium-sized family with only a few hundred people.
It was precisely because of the tragedy that occurred in the village that Rizu chose this place as the first place of worship.
The first is to repair the shrine, and the second is to let all the ancestors die in peace. The Hyuga family... has become rich? The current head of the family has given birth to a talented person? The Hyuga family has picked up a ghost!
After worshiping at the border shrine? Hizu led people to the edge of a bottomless cliff and presented a composite bouquet of white chrysanthemums and lilies to the edge of the cliff. This ended the worship at the border of the Kingdom of Wind.
Something happened that troubled Fuyuki.
For Fuyuki, the Kingdom of Wind is a place full of routines, and it is also the place where the sacred tree took root. The earth chakra accumulated underground is very terrifying. In the event of a chakra riot, no one knows what will happen.
Stepping on the maglev train and looking at the other side of the sky full of yellow sand? Dongshu felt a little relieved.
In the next two weeks, Hinata Hinashi led everyone starting from the border of the Country of Wind, passing through the Country of Sichuan, and the Country of Fire all the way to the Country of Yu. The final destination was the Leaf Village of the Country of Fire.
.
This route? Is the relocation history of the Hyuga clan from ancient times to the present? What major events happened every time there was a migration? In the end, the Hyuga clan was invited by Uchiha and Senju to settle in Konoha to this day.
As for Yu Country...the Hyuga clan has not migrated there. It is a small country far away from the center and cannot attract the Hyuga clan who are doing business. They come here purely to visit relatives.
The Kaguya clan that has been exterminated exists here!
It is true that only Kaguya Kimimaro is left among the pure-blooded Kaguya clan, but the Kaguya clan has a history of marrying outsiders in exchange for benefits, which has also led to many women from the Kaguya clan marrying into other countries and families.
.
Hinata had stopped this matter, saying clearly that anyone who was short of money or land could go to Hinata, but those idiots, whose minds were all about muscles, might have felt embarrassed to borrow money from distant relatives all day long, so they finally decided to marry outside.
A method of exchanging benefits through marriage.
After the Kaguya clan was exterminated in the Land of Water, the Hyuga family secretly spent money and effort to gather all the mixed-blood Kaguya clan scattered throughout the ninja world and secretly escorted them to a small place like the Country of Yu.
The reason why he was sent to the Kingdom of Tang instead of brought back to the Kingdom of Fire was actually based on two considerations.
First, the decline of the Hyuga family at that time was not as exaggerated as when Fuyuki graduated. It was obviously unable to stop the ninjas of Kirigakure Village from seeking revenge. The entire Kaguya clan betrayed Kirigakure and started a civil war!
Secondly, Hyuga's senior leaders are not sure whether these mixed-race Kaguyas can become genuine allies with Hinata for generations like the Kaguya clan.
Therefore, they were just secretly transferred to the Country of Tang to provide them with secret protection and financial support.
But it turns out that even half-blood Kaguya still remembers Hinata's kindness, and the two families have always remained close allies, no different from before.
This time, the engagement between Fuyuki and Karin is definitely a major event for the Hyuga and Uzumaki families. All the Hyuga clan allies must be invited over to eat, drink and have fun, so the place name Yu no Kuni will appear on the way to the ancestor worship ceremony.
"Zizzizi..."
The train heading towards the Country of Yu was suddenly intercepted at the border checkpoint of the Country of Fire.
Fuyuki, who was taking a nap in the first-class cabin, was awakened by the violent shaking of the train. He frowned and looked out the window at the Konoha ninjas in Chuunin uniforms: "What's going on? Why are you stopping us?"
There is a Hyuga clan emblem on the outside of the carriage. Ninjas outside should be able to see it. It can prove that the train is full of Hyuga clan or goods. Generally speaking, ninjas on the border will not intercept Hyuga members. It is a privilege to join the Leaf Village.
.
But what caused a group of ninjas to jump out and intercept the maglev train regardless of the risk of their lives?
"I'm sorry, Mr. Advisor..."
A ninja with long blond hair and an appearance very characteristic of the Yamanaka family hurriedly ran to the train. Without conducting any routine inspection, he knelt down on one knee not far from Fuyuki and said, "Because of the connection with the village.
I can’t go to Fuyuki-sama, so I specifically asked the border guard ninjas to keep an eye on your whereabouts and hand this scroll to you once discovered. I hope you can rush back to Konoha as soon as possible."
Dongshu took the scroll, raised his eyebrows, and said, "The scroll is sealed with a spell? What's going on? It's so urgent."
From the words of the stranger, Fuyuki knew that there were many people holding this scroll, and that every captain of the border ninja team should hold one.
However, the cost of making this kind of scroll is very high, and it has extremely strong confidentiality. Except for specific people, any method of opening the scroll will cause spontaneous combustion, causing the scroll to be instantly reduced to ashes.
"When did the scroll arrive?"
Fuyuki asked the ninja next to him while forming a seal to open the scroll.
"Expedited delivery by the psychic beast Peregrine Falcon in the early morning..." Ninja answered truthfully. The Peregrine Falcon is one of the fastest artificially bred messenger beasts at present, with a speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour.
Unrolling the scroll, Fuyuki was stunned. There were only a few words on it: "I am Shizune, Tsunade-sama is seriously injured and comatose, Tsuchikage and Raikage are missing, the current situation of Mizukage and Kazekage is not optimistic, the ninja alliance is completely destroyed
."
"Konoha may be attacked..."
