Hyuga Clan, has become increasingly low-key in the past two years.
This family claims to be the most wealthy family in Konoha, but the actual situation is that this family is suppressed by the Uchiha Clan in terms of strength and reputation.
In the past few years, Hyuga Clan has been very confident. It regards itself as the number one wealthy family of Konoha and has the confidence to compete with the Uchiha Clan. This in itself is not a problem.
However, after Third Shinobi World War, this healthy competition situation changed.
Kazue, Fugaku, these two Mangekyō Sharingan owners alone have already put Hyuga Clan into complete passivity.
This is under the premise that they don't know that Shisui also turns on Mangekyō Sharingan, otherwise it will only be more helpless.
Especially with the changes in the past two years, from Third Shinobi World War to Nine-Tails' Rampage, Uchiha Clan has shown the strength and responsibility of the first wealthy family, and there are endless talents within the family.
But Hyuga Clan's side... is still lifeless, one or two are as stable as old dogs, and now they are countless times more stable than old dogs.
There is nothing they can do.
Not to mention, Hyuga Clan has a very ordinary relationship with the popular person in the village, Root leader Shiranui Genitsu, because of that Main Family Byakugan.
Iroha puts Root above the family.
"Lord Clan Leader, Uchiha Clan is acting more and more arrogantly now, openly challenging our clansmen on the streets!!"
A young Hyuga Clan tribesman ran over angrily.
Hyuga Hiashi didn't even raise his head, but sat very calmly on the tatami and poured himself a cup of tea unhurriedly.
"Lord Patriarch!" The young man couldn't help shouting again.
Hiashi picked up the tea cup, gently smelled the tea aroma, and took a sip.
"So, Huomen, what are you going to do? Do you want to mobilize the power of the clan to start a war with the Uchiha Clan?" Hyuga Hiashi took his time.
Hyuga Kaimon's expression froze, and his face full of anger immediately became depressed. "No, Mr. Patriarch, although we are competing with the Uchiha Clan, we are still companions anyway. I am just a little angry. When will we Hyuga Clan need to bow to them!!"
Huomen's chest was filled with a sense of oppression.
In the past, Hyuga Clan and Uchiha could definitely keep pace with each other. Even if they were slightly lacking, there would be no worries.
But now... when will those Uchiha Clan be able to look at their Hyuga Clan clansmen with disdain?!
"A momentary dispute of temper is never the key to determining the direction of destiny. Uchiha Clan's power has grown, and we should congratulate them... Competition must be fair. There is no need to put hatred and jealousy above the concept of companionship."
Every smallest move of Hyuga Hiashi is full of elegance and calmness, giving people a "noble" feeling.
In fact, the entire Hyuga Clan is filled with this unspeakable elegance. Every clan member has received strict education since childhood, and etiquette education is a top priority.
The entire Hyuga Clan is repressed and orderly. It is the family that has preserved the inheritance from ancient times most completely, even too completely.
The law is so orderly that it makes people breathless.
Under the silent pressure, fine beads of sweat appeared on Huomen's forehead.
After a long time, Hiashi said calmly, "Step back. If you have time to struggle with this kind of struggle, why not practice Gentle Fist more and improve Byakugan's pupil power... Although you are from a separate family, Byakugan has great potential, so don't let your eyes down."
"... Yes, Mr. Patriarch."
Huomen was silent for a long time, gritting his teeth secretly, but on the surface, he resigned respectfully.
After he left, Hiashi drank up the tea in the cup with a calm expression. Even the tea leaves floating on the top were evenly distributed at the bottom of the cup after the tea was drunk.
Hiashi stood up slowly, turned around, opened a secret room, and walked in.
Along the way, after passing a long underground tunnel, Hiashi came to the deepest place, where all the secrets of the entire Hyuga Clan since the founding of the clan are stored.
"Byakugan, Byakugan..."
Hiashi took out a huge and ancient scroll and applied seals one after another. When he reached the last layer of seals, he hesitated for a moment and used Sealing Jutsu similar to Caged Bird Seal to lift the last seal.
Pull the scroll open.
The contents were revealed.
Simple pictures appeared one after another, surrounded by various words.
"Since Rinnegan is real, then Sage of Six Paths may not be a fairy tale, but an immortal who has appeared... But here it is said that Sage of Six Paths has a brother..."
Hiashi looked at the contents with some hesitation.
In the center of the picture, there are two figures standing.
One is the owner of Rinnegan, Sage of Six Paths, and the other is the owner of Byakugan. There is no specific name left.
Could this person... be the true ancestor of the Hyuga Clan?
Can it stand alongside Sage of Six Paths? Does Byakugan also hide a power that can rival Rinnegan?
Hiashi Not sure.
"I just hope that it is really like this. Whether it is difficult or not is one thing. Whether there is hope or not is the most important thing." Hiashi stared at it for a while and sighed deeply.
Hyuga Clan seemed to have completely lost the confidence to compete for the number one wealthy club, and was suppressed by the Uchiha Clan.
He, the patriarch, is the most anxious.
After Huomen walked out of the patriarch's house, he hesitated for a moment, then turned around to find the branch patriarch Hizashi Hyuga.
Hizashi is training Neji at this time.
Neji's young figure is sweating profusely, sparring Gentle Fist with Hizashi.
Huomen glanced at Neji, with admiration and regret in his eyes. No matter how talented Neji is, he is destined to be branded Caged Bird. What a pity.
"Neji, that's it for today. You performed very well. After two days, I will take you to see Miss Main Family. You have to protect her with your life. This is your destiny."
Hizashi spoke solemnly.
"Yes, father." Neji panted and knelt down respectfully. His etiquette was impeccable and admirable.
Hizashi looked at the young figure of Neji leaving with a complicated expression.
Thinking about it carefully, it is really unfair. Main Family was born to be in charge of the life and death of the branch family...
"Master Neji's talent is really amazing. In a few years, he will become a genius that attracts everyone's attention." Huomen said respectfully.
"I hope so...Huomen, what's the matter?" Hizashi said lightly.
"Master Hizashi, it's like this..."
"Conflict with the Uchiha Clan? Now we Hyuga Clan are indeed no match for them." Hizashi sighed, "At the strong level, my brother and I are no match for Fugaku and Kazue. The new generation, you are suppressed by Shisui. Itachi has also shown his strong talent..."
No matter how you look at it, Hyuga Clan has been left far behind by the Uchiha Clan.
Hyuga Clan I won't talk about the head of the family and the head of the branch family here.
Young people like Huomen and Tokuma, who are fifteen or sixteen years old, are really nothing compared to Kazue and Shisui.
It's simply an unsolvable problem.
"Bloodline Limit is also a pupil master. Is our clan's power so much worse than Uchiha Clan? They have Mangekyō Sharingan, but we only have Byakugan?" Huomen clenched his fists with a look of reluctance.
Hizashi was silent for a moment and nodded helplessly.
That seems to be the case.
There is Mangekyō Sharingan on top of Sharingan. When Mangekyō Sharingan is turned on, it also comes with three powerful eye skills.
What does Byakugan have? Byakugan looks like Byakugan to the end.
And only people from the Main Family can develop Byakugan to the end. The family members who are branded Caged Bird will never be able to have a complete Byakugan in this life, and their eyes will become incomplete.
This kind of thing...
Huomen's heart was full of unwillingness.
He was silent for a long time, bowed respectfully to Hizashi, turned and left.
Hizashi looked at his back and was speechless.
Doesn't he know what Huomen wants? It's just like in the past, even when facing Uchiha, the Hyuga Clan people can hold their heads high.
Unfortunately, it is destined to be impossible.
"Hyuga Clan, our family history is no less than that of the Uchiha Clan, but why does Uchiha Clan have stronger eyes but we don't?" Hizashi was also confused.
Subconsciously, he looked in a certain direction, which was the residence of Hiashi.
As the patriarch of the clan, Hiashi has mastered all the secrets of the entire family for thousands of years. Is he also helpless to deal with the current situation?
Is Hyuga Clan really inherently inferior to the Uchiha Clan in terms of bloodline potential?
"Brother, what do you want to do? Do you really want to do nothing and just accept your fate?" Hizashi whispered.
That night.
He successively visited Main Family, the head of the family, and Huomen, the head of the branch family, but returned without success, leaving Earth Flow on the street with an angry look on his face.
On both sides of the street are the residences of the Hyuga Clan people. The position of their clan in Konoha can be said to be quite advantageous.
Not far away is the bustling commercial street.
But so what? Strength has brought all this. Without strength, everything is just a passing cloud.
"Damn Yashiro, damn Uchiha!!" Huomen gritted his teeth.
Konoha Police Force Squadron Leader Yashiro, the way he looked at him during the day, that look of disdain and contempt, had never happened before.
All because of the appearance of Mangekyō Sharingan.
Huomen's heart was filled with deep anger. He turned and walked to the training ground of the clan and began to train Gentle Fist.
Bang bang bang!
One punch after another, the seemingly light and harmless fists hit the Wood Golem pile in front of him one after another.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it... How can you possibly deal with something like Gentle Fist Susanoo?!"
Huomen The more I slapped him, the more unwilling I became.
As soon as he imagined using Gentle Fist to shoot the scene of Susanoo, he felt a shudder.
How stupid would you be to do this?
But in their clan, only Gentle Fist can cooperate with Byakugan.
"Who?!"
Suddenly, Huomen suddenly turned around, stared at Byakugan, and looked towards a forest.
In the darkness, two figures, one large and one small, stood.
"Father, is this our kindred? This guy seems to have very good eyes, and his purity makes sense..."
"No, Toneri, these eyes are not good, they are cursed eyes."
"Curse? Even my father can't break it?"
"Perhaps it can be forcibly cracked with Tenseigan, but there is no need. Byakugan of this level is not worth doing."
The two figures were having a conversation.
"You are not members of the Hyuga Clan tribe, nor are you ninjas from Konoha! Tell us your identities!"
Buzz!
Huomen further opened up Byakugan's vision, and the figures of these two strangers came into view. Just the peculiar Chakra made Huomen's heart skip a beat.
"It's very strange Chakra. It seems to be slightly different from everyone I saw..." Huomen's brain was running rapidly.
These two guys seem to know Byakugan very well, and they also have the Caged Bird brand... but what is Tenseigan?
"Hmph, pretending to be a ghost, Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!"
Snap!
Huomen was shot out with one palm, and a large number of Chakra gathered together, tens of meters apart, and suddenly bombarded them.
But the moment Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm hit these two people, it was defeated by an invisible barrier.
"Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm, it is indeed the power that cooperates with Byakugan, but it is a bit weak, which restricts Byakugan's performance."
Toneri's father slowly walked out of the shadows, stood under the moonlight, and looked at Huomen.
"Who are you?" Huomen looked at these two people with no eyes and strange shapes in surprise.
He has gray hair and Tomoe-shaped accessories hanging on his clothes. This kind of attire seems familiar... I remembered that the Sage of Six Paths pictures in some story books are like this.
"My distant relative, I can feel the resentment in your heart... Do you want to pursue more powerful power? Do you want to further tap the potential of your pair of Byakugan?"
Toneri's father laughed softly.
Originally it was just a secret search for pure Byakugan.
It seems that Main Family patriarch's daughter is already three years old. I originally planned to observe it, but I didn't expect an unexpected surprise.
Huomen, a person from a separate family, might become a chess piece to score Hyuga Clan.
"We are not Shinobi World natives, but we are indeed your distant blood relatives. The same blood flows in our bodies." Toneri's father pointed to his eyes, "Originally, I should also have a pair of Byakugan."
Huomen looked at the two people in front of him in surprise and uncertainty. He should have warned the family immediately and gathered people to deal with these two guys.
But something went wrong. Huomen suppressed the restlessness in his heart and looked at the two men with a gloomy expression.
"Distant relatives? Oh, so what if they are true? Uzumaki Clan and Senju Clan are also distant relatives, but they have both died." Huomen said indifferently.
"No, it's not the same. We both have the same eyes, and I have what you need."
Toneri's father was bewildered. "Don't you want to know if Byakugan can become stronger? Sage of Six Paths's descendants include Mangekyō Sharingan, so our ancestor - Hamura Otsutsuki, Sage of Six Paths's younger brother, left us nothing?"
Huomen was bombarded with this top-secret information until his mind roared. The amount of information was quite large.
Uchiha Clan... is the descendant of Sage of Six Paths? Isn't Sharingan related to Rinnegan?
The ancestor of the Hyuga Clan is the younger brother of Sage of Six Paths, named Hamura Otsutsuki?
Huomen's heart was pounding.
Toneri's father reached out to him: Young man, I will tell you the secret of Byakugan, which is the power that rivals Rinnegan. "
At the same time, Toneri's father was bewitching Huomen.
In the secret base of Root.
Iroha slowly closed his right eye.
"Sure enough, they showed up. Those two guys... must report to Lord Genitsu as soon as possible."
