After Hiroyuki passed away, Miho feels sad and empty. She believes the reason her lover died is because of the main families. Ren Hyuga always tries to flirt with her and has forced her to stop talking with Hiroyuki Hyuga.
Miho knows she is ranked second in terms of beauty after Haruko Hyuga. If not for the fact that Haruko has been chosen by the young heir, Miho believes Ren will also choose Haruko as his future spouse.
There is a reason why Miho didn't choose Ren. First of all, Ren is from the Branch family, even though he was born from the main families. He is also arrogant and treats other branch family members as if they were his slaves, just like his brother. Lastly, Hiroyuki is more good-looking and warm compared to Ren.
Later, when Hiroyuki had died, she found comfort in another Hyuga. His name is Kenji Hyuga. This time, Ren no longer provoked or controlled her because his brother had placed a birdcage seal on his forehead. Apparently, he was very angry with his brother. After being defeated by Hiro Hyuga, he no longer dared to reveal his fangs. Like other Hyuga, he wore a forehead protector to conceal the seal on his forehead.
However, another problem arose. Hiro Hyuga has moved on with Haruko and is now pursuing her, wanting her to marry him. She wants to reject him, but looking into Hiro's eyes fills her with fear. She senses that if she dares to reject him, Hiro will torture her using the birdcage seal.
Miho also gave a warning to Kenji and told him to stop meeting her privately because she suspects he will be targeted by Hiro Hyuga, just like her former lover, Hiroyuki Hyuga.
"Miho, how are you?" greeted Setsuna.
When she noticed it was Setsuna, she felt she had hope to escape from the Hyuga. Isn't Haruko escaping too from Hiro, and the Hyuga dare not hunt Setsuna?
"Setsuna? I'm fine, and how is my sister… I mean Haruko?" replied Miho.
"She has become a great mom. We have 5 babies already, and we expect more," said Setsuna.
"Oh, lucky you," replied Miho. Setsuna looked at her and then asked, "Are you in pain?"
"How do you know?" exclaimed Miho.
"Because your eyes are lackluster. Maybe it's stress or fear," guessed Setsuna.
"Hiro wants me to marry him. Our wedding is in one more month," said Miho.
"What? After he killed Hiroyuki, he dares to touch you?" said Setsuna with anger.
"What! Is it true he killed Hiroyuki? I suspected him before, but I didn't dare to draw that conclusion," asked Miho.
"Yeah, apparently he killed him because Hiroyuki dared to fight with Ren. So he wanted to teach him a lesson, but the lesson was too much, and he directly killed Hiroyuki," said Setsuna. "Haruko coincidentally heard their conversation and ran to me. That's why I brought her to Uzushiogakure to get revenge on him."
"No wonder you guys went to Uzushiogakure. How will you get revenge on him?" asked Miho.
"We have cracked the birdcage seal. In one or two more years, Haruko will come here and bring the sealing jutsu to uncrack the birdcage seal," replied Setsuna.
"Really?" exclaimed Miho. "Finally, I can escape Hiro's pursuit. After Haruko fled the village, he proposed marriage to me."
"Do you agree to marry him?" asked Setsuna.
"I was forced to agree," replied Miho. "You didn't see the intensity in his eyes when he proposed. It felt as though rejecting him would trigger him to activate birdcage."
"Glad to know you were coerced. Would you like to come to Uzushiogakure? You can bring anyone you want along," said Setsuna.
"I do have someone, but I'm uncertain about my true feelings for him. We had just started dating when Hiro suddenly proposed," said Miho.
"It's up to you. There might be some Hyuga Branch members who will follow me, and I plan to bring as many beautiful girls from the Hyuga clan to Uzushiogakure," grinned Setsuna.
"Why beautiful girls?" asked Miho.
"Because after you left, they could become targets for Hiro Hyuga. To be on the safe side, I'll bring them too," said Setsuna.
The plan to bring Hyuga branch members went well. A few days later, he brought Miho Hyuga, his boyfriend, and family, along with some other Hyuga branch members. Twenty people were willing to follow him, while others were still quite young.
Initially, he had considered taking the girls out of the village. However, upon realizing that they were not of marriageable age, he canceled that idea. Because in his plan, he wanted to give the birdcage seal to the Hyuga clan members within the next year or two.
