Shadow of the Yellow Flash. Shocking Chakra?! Happy New Year

Hiashi Hyuga's personal guards were in motion.

Some followed Hiashi Hyuga, while others went to Hizashi Hyuga of the Branch Family to report on the impending battle between the Main Family Head and his daughter – a grand event of fatherly love and filial piety!

Still others went to the residences of the Hyuga Main Family elders to fully report on the impending battle between Hinata and Hiashi.

Before long, the entire Hyuga Clan was shaken!

The Hyuga Clan elders all used the Body Flicker Technique to rush to the training grounds, conversing as they went:

"Hinata hasn't left the house for seven days, she's even stopped training, immersed in male beauty all day... This is absolutely a waste of talent, absolutely unacceptable!"

"But thankfully, with our urging, Hiashi has finally taken action!"

"Hiashi's strength is remarkable; he's one of the best among Jonin. His young daughter will definitely be no match for Hiashi."

"Hiashi is sure to win! I hope that after this defeat, Hinata will understand the saying 'there are always people better than you,' and then strive to cultivate diligently, aiming to become the next Hyuga Celestial Ninja within thirty years, leading the entire Hyuga Clan to rise!!"

"Exactly, exactly! That's it!"

The Hyuga Main Family elders stroked their white beards, discussing with great excitement.

Meanwhile, in the Hyuga Branch Family compound, Hizashi Hyuga, who was training Neji Hyuga, learned from a personal guard that his elder brother Hiashi Hyuga was about to formally spar with his daughter. A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes:

Elder Brother Hiashi is going to fight his daughter!

Isn't the outcome of this battle already sealed?!

The only one who can win is Elder Brother Hiashi. After all, Hiashi is the Main Family Head, enjoying the best treatment, consuming countless secret medicines... and acquiring countless secret Ninjutsu and Taijutsu techniques of the Main Family!

Such an elder brother, facing a novice Hinata.

Hinata can't possibly win.

After pondering this, Hizashi Hyuga lowered his head and said to his son, Neji Hyuga, "I'm going to the training grounds. Neji, stay home and practice Gentle Fist."

"No, I... I also want to go to the training grounds to watch the battle between Uncle Hiashi and Lady Hinata!"

As Neji spoke, his eyes lit up, and his fists clenched. He repeated, "Father, I must go."

Hizashi Hyuga was slightly taken aback by these words, then carefully observed his son Neji's expression. He immediately noticed the unusual look in his eyes and instantly understood:

His son, Neji Hyuga, thinks Hinata has a chance to win?

But how is that possible?

Hinata's opponent is the current strongest of the Hyuga Clan, Hiashi Hyuga, the Main Family Head who possesses the most secret techniques of the Hyuga family.

Hinata's win rate is 0%.

Of course, Hizashi Hyuga didn't voice these thoughts. Instead, he took Neji with him, intending to let Neji witness firsthand the power disparity between adults and children, just as the Main Family and Branch Family of the Hyuga are insurmountable!

Hizashi Hyuga picked up Neji Hyuga and used the Body Flicker Technique to rush towards the training grounds.

At the same time, on the other side, Hinata's mother encountered the Main Family elders on the way. Upon learning from the elders that her husband was going to fight their daughter, a deep sense of worry arose in her heart.

Of course, she wasn't worried about Hiashi Hyuga, but rather about her daughter, Hinata.

No matter what, Hinata was too young right now. Perhaps her talent was unparalleled, and in the future, she might become someone comparable to a Hyuga Celestial Ninja, as the Main Family elders said!

But the current Hinata absolutely could not defeat Hiashi!

No, I must go to the training grounds and try to stop this father-daughter battle. If I truly can't stop it, I must prevent Hiashi from accidentally... gravely injuring our daughter!

After pondering this, Hinata's mother gritted her teeth and hurried to the training grounds.

By mid-morning, at the Hyuga Clan's training grounds.

People from the Main Family and Branch Family gathered.

People from the Branch Family, people from the Main Family, the Main Family elders... hundreds of people gathered, all focusing their attention on Hinata and Hiashi Hyuga, the Main Family Head.

Among them was Neji Hyuga, perched on Hizashi Hyuga's shoulders. His gaze towards the training ground was serious, and he clenched his fists, thinking to himself:

Lady Hinata, you must push through!

Defeat your father!

Defeat fate!

Gain the freedom of not being monitored!

And Hizashi Hyuga, with Neji Hyuga on his shoulders, looked at the training ground with a vacant and calm expression. In his view, the outcome of this battle was already decided.

After all, his elder brother Hiashi's eyes were filled with seriousness, clearly intending to thoroughly discipline his rebellious daughter.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Hinata's mother's gaze towards Hinata was even more worried.

The reason was simple: she had said it all just now, but both Hinata and Hiashi insisted on fighting this time.

"When this leaf lands, the battle begins!"

Hiashi watched his daughter and spoke calmly, then dropped the leaf from his hand.

Whoosh...

A gust of wind blew, and the leaf drifted to the ground.

Whoosh!

Hiashi instantly activated his Byakugan and used the Body Flicker Technique, appearing behind Hinata. He reached out to her, ready to seal her Chakra.

However, in that very instant, Hinata's figure vanished, and Hiashi's attack missed.

Missed?!

Hiashi paused, slightly stunned. Then, with his Byakugan, he immediately saw Hinata reappear in her original spot. More importantly, she was holding an A-rank Ninjutsu, the Rasengan, in her hand.

Even more critically, due to Hinata's small stature as a child, the Rasengan she held was roughly at Hiashi's midsection. This meant that if Hiashi hadn't used the Body Flicker Technique or another jutsu to evade, his kidneys would have been hit by the Rasengan, effectively incapacitating him… and he wouldn't be able to have a second child, meaning the name Hanabi Hyuga, which had already been prepared, might never be used…

Phew.

Hiashi took a deep breath, looking at his daughter Hinata.

"When did you train your Body Flicker Technique? It's surprisingly proficient, not even inferior to mine."

Hinata retracted her hand. As the Rasengan slowly faded, she spoke, "Father, I told you I've been training hard these past seven days. This perfectly mastered Body Flicker is the result of my diligent training."

Hiashi's mouth twitched slightly upon hearing this. He thought to himself:

If I hadn't heard the collective reports from the guards protecting you… and if I hadn't secretly gone to observe with my Byakugan today, I really would have believed your nonsense.

At that moment, the surrounding Main Family elders, and even Hizashi Hyuga, and Hinata's mother, were all somewhat stunned.

The reason was simple: the Body Flicker Technique Hinata used was too proficient. That extremely practiced Body Flicker, combined with the Rasengan in her right hand, made them think of one person!

The former Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze!

The current Hinata now possessed a hint of Minato Namikaze's demeanor!

This made the Main Family elders even more convinced that Hinata had the potential to be a Hyuga Celestial Ninja.

Of course, they still didn't believe Hinata would win. After all, Hinata was only proficient in Body Flicker; in terms of Taijutsu, and even Chakra reserves, there were huge…

Wait, what was going on with those Chakra reserves?!

Happy New Year, readers! I wish you all happiness and prosperity in the new year!!
