Hyuga Kagami did not know why Neji had not trained in the Eight Inner Gates in the original timeline. Perhaps Neji had been too convinced by his clan's belief in the supremacy of the Gentle Fist; perhaps Guy had thought Neji unsuitable for the Eight Inner Gates; or perhaps Neji had simply been too embarrassed to ask Guy for guidance.
After all, his father's tragic death in the original timeline had dealt Neji far too great a blow. It had made him somewhat paranoid and overly sensitive, and he had grown accustomed to using cold arrogance to protect himself.
By comparison, although Neji was still sensitive because of the Caged Bird Seal,
his father Hizashi had not met with misfortune, and he also had Hyuga Kagami, the Hokage, as his teacher. Thus, his personality remained very positive. Faced with Hyuga Kagami's arrangement, he barely hesitated before answering, "Yes, I'll definitely seek Teacher Guy's guidance seriously!"
After considering it for a moment, Hyuga Kagami added, "Not just the Gentle Fist. From now on, you must also seriously train with all kinds of ninja tools, swords, and blades. Only then can you expand your attack range and calmly deal with all sorts of enemies."
"Yes!"
Neji nodded solemnly.
Just as Hyuga Kagami was about to offer a few more pointers, his gaze suddenly sharpened. His expression darkened as he instructed Neji, "All right, it's getting late. Go back and rest first."
"Good night, Teacher!"
Neji hurriedly rose and bowed to Hyuga Kagami, then respectfully withdrew from the room.
After Neji left, Hyuga Kagami calmly said to the empty room, "Come out."
At that moment, a blurry phantom emerged from the shadows in the corner of the room and smiled. "You really do care about that disciple of yours."
There was no doubt
