Ch. 61Upholding the Main Family's Glory Is Our Unshirkable Duty
Genkawa Uchiha rejected the Hyuga Main Family’s demand to inspect his eyes and defeated the Branch Family messengers who tried to stop him. Hyuga Sojin punished the messengers and was tasked with pursuing the matter, while Hyuga Hiashi privately acknowledged the danger of confronting a young man with the Mangekyō.
- Two Hyuga Branch Family ninja asked Genkawa Uchiha to visit the Hyuga Clan so the Main Family could investigate his changed eyes, but he refused and criticized their Caged Bird status.
- When the two men blocked his path, Genkawa incapacitated them and warned the Hyuga Main Family not to interfere with his eyes again.
- Hyuga Clan members carried the unconscious messengers to the Main Family Council Chamber, where Hyuga Sojin questioned them and activated their Caged Bird seals as punishment for failing.
- Hyuga Sojin told Hyuga Hiashi that Genkawa had awakened the Byakugan and urged him to ask the Hokage to intervene.
- Hyuga Hiashi ordered Hyuga Sojin to handle the matter himself and privately noted that Genkawa possessed the Mangekyō.
