The Book of Liang: Biography of Dao Gai contained this line:

"Like a moth flying into a flame—how could it begrudge the burning of its body?"

Some pointed at moths and said, "Look, isn't a moth flying into a flame incredibly foolish? Fire can burn it to death, yet it insists on rushing toward the flames without regard for its life, only to end up like this!"

Others merely snorted and explained it from a scientific perspective:

"There's no need to make it so complicated. Moths fly toward flames because nocturnal creatures are phototactic. Their 'light compass orientation' traps them in a 'spiral vortex'..."

But there was another kind of person.

They remained silent and did not argue, yet like moths drawn to flames, they often did all manner of things that others found difficult to understand.

Hizashi Hyuga was probably one of those people.

After entering the ninja world, he had keenly felt the Hyuga Clan's powerlessness. He had wanted to do something, yet until his death, he had been like a moth endlessly crashing against a lamp, unable to find a way to break through.

"No."

Seven hours after Hyuga Natsu's surgery, inside the tent assigned to Hyuga Yu, Hyuga Natsu had awakened from anesthesia and lay weakly on the hospital bed. She listened carefully as Hyuga Yu, who had remained by her bedside, recounted everything that had happened since they were separated.

After hearing Hyuga Yu describe his impression of Hizashi Hyuga, she shook her head at him, her brows knitting slightly.

"What Hizashi Hyuga wanted was probably to restore the legacy of 'Hyuga Tenjin.'"

"Hyuga Tenjin?"

Hyuga Yu froze at that, unable to stop himself from asking curiously, "Our clan really had someone like that?"

The claim of Hyuga Tenjin originated during the Chunin Exam
