Neji Needs This Opportunity More Than I Do!
[Hamura's Blessing (Perfect)]
[A blessing from Hamura Otsutsuki on the moon, suitable for the Hyuga Clan's constitution, unlocking ancestral bloodline reversion and potential activation.]
[Currently assigned users: Hinata Hyuga, Neji Hyuga.]
That's it...?
The brief introduction surprised Hagoromo. Logically speaking, a perfect reward shouldn't be this simple.
Moreover, it is suitable for the Hyuga Clan's physique, Hamura's bloodline.
Hagoromo couldn't help but look up at the sky, recalling the time when Sasuke activated his Sharingan, the word "bloodline" had also been mentioned.
Tenseigan, huh...?
Hagoromo's eyes lit up slightly; it truly was a perfect reward.
As she thought about it, Hagoromo unconsciously looked at Hinata.
He immediately rejected this option in his mind; it wasn't that Hinata's bloodline wasn't pure enough.
Conversely, if Hinata received this blessing, she would probably directly advance to become the 'Byakugan Princess' of the Tenseigan.
The reason I'm not planning to give it to Hinata is probably because of her personality.
Without a good goal and mindset, Hinata possessing the Tenseigan would be like a child carrying gold through a bustling market.
It's estimated that the elders of the Main Family will become as greedy as devils.
But...
Hagoromo reached out and beckoned to Hinata, saying, "Hinata, come here for a moment."
Hinata, who was listening to Naruto Shikamaru chatting with others, was startled, then immediately got up and went to Hagoromo's side.
"Teacher, is something the matter?"
Hinata blinked and asked.
After carefully considering her words, Hagoromo addressed Hinata with a serious expression:
"Hinata, if your teacher had a chance to make you and Neji stronger..."
"This is a one-time opportunity, will you..."
"Master Hagoromo! Please be sure to give this opportunity to Neji!"
Hinata spoke solemnly before Hagoromo could finish.
After speaking, he bowed deeply to Hagoromo.
Hagoromo didn't speak, but looked at Hinata.
The little girl's face was full of seriousness, completely unconcerned about what Hagoromo Yi meant by becoming stronger.
"Our Hinata is such a gentle child."
Hagoromo smiled and reached out to pat Hinata's head.
"Thank you, teacher, but Neji needs this opportunity more than I do," Hinata said happily with a smile.
Compared to herself, the young girl hoped even more that Neji would seize this opportunity.
"The teacher understands, go ahead."
Hagoromo smiled and nodded, allowing Hinata to rejoin her circle of friends.
Why can't there be one more...?
Although it was a bit greedy, the system only awarded one reward, which really left Hagoromo unsure of what to do with it.
Both are my flesh and blood.
Even though Neji had only recently become a disciple, Hagoromo still treated him the same as Naruto and the others.
After glancing at Hinata sitting with Naruto and the others, Hagoromo turned and walked out of the training ground.
Since the decision has been made, let Neji properly receive this blessing.
--
The waterfall cascades down with a loud splashing sound.
Hagoromo stood in front of the waterfall, feeling the coolness of the splashing water.
"Master!"
A voice came from behind her, Hagoromo turned around to look.
Neji, dressed in training attire, stood behind Hagoromo and bowed respectfully.
"Neji, you don't need to do that."
Hagoromo looked at Neji and waved his hand.
"Neji, starting tomorrow, you'll be coming directly to the training grounds."
Hagoromo spoke to Neji, then looked towards the woods behind Neji.
He slowly began to speak, "Hyuga, you have no objections, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Neji's pupils constricted sharply, and he looked behind him in shock.
Rustling sounds --
Hyuga Hiashi walked out slowly, first glancing at Neji, then looking at Hagoromo and saying:
"Thank you very much, Neji."
Hagoromo shook his head and said, "No, it's just that Neji is indeed a very promising talent."
The arrival of Hyuga Hiashi Hagoromo was not surprising to Hagoromo.
It was even when he himself notified Neji come over that Hiashi noticed.
After all, Neji will have to go to the training grounds eventually, so it's better to talk about it sooner rather than later.
"Neji, I'd like to speak with Hagoromo- sensei."
Hiashi spoke to Neji, his eyes lacking their usual authority within the clan, and his tone truly that of an elder.
Neji was taken aback, then subconsciously looked at Hagoromo.
Hagoromo smiled and waved, then led Hiashi away to another location.
"Hyuga, you can speak now."
"The Hyuga Main Family and Branch Family have always been like the trunk and branches of a tree."
"Without the main trunk, the branches and leaves will have nothing to rely on; without the branches and leaves, the main trunk will wither."
"This has always been Hyuga's way of life."
Hyuga Hiashi glanced in Neji's direction before turning to Hagoromo and speaking.
Hagoromo did not refute this, perhaps because Hiashi, as the head of the Hyuga Clan, Hiashi this view.
However, this does not mean that all members of the Hyuga Main Family think this way.
After all, the Caged Bird Seal already embodies this meaning.
Neji's resentment towards the Main Family is his own prerogative.
This resentment cannot change Neji's identity, nor can it change the choices he has already made.
Hiashi seemed to have found an opening and spoke these words to Hagoromo.
Hagoromo listened quietly without saying a word.
Hiashi speaking, Hiashi took a deep breath, a hint of pain and self-blame showing in his eyes, and his voice became low.
"Hizashi... my younger brother, I owe him a debt I can never repay in this lifetime."
"Therefore, as Uncle Neji, I entrust him to you."
After saying this, Hiashi bowed deeply to Hagoromo.
Hagoromo was surprised; he truly hadn't expected Hiashi to make such a move.
"Hyuga, please don't do this."
Hagoromo quickly helped Hiashi and said.
"Since Neji has become my disciple, I will teach him to the best of my ability."
Regardless of Hiashi's mindset, Hagoromo only Neji as his disciple.
As for the so-called destiny of the Hyuga Clan, let their disciples break it themselves once they grow up.
"Thank you. I will handle Neji's situation within the clan as well, and will not interfere with his training."
Hyuga Hiashi speaking, Hiashi Hyuga glanced at Neji time, then turned and left.
Hagoromo did not respond. If Hiashi could resolve the Neji issue, it would indeed be a good thing.
In the future, when I teach Neji, I won't need to spend too much energy thinking about solving the problems of the Hyuga Clan.
Without thinking further, Hagoromo turned and walked towards Neji.
Neji continued to gaze in the direction Hiashi had gone, his eyes filled with an unreadable expression.
"Alright, come with me somewhere."
Hagoromo put his arm around Neji's shoulder and spoke gently.
