Long ago, when Uchiha Yue was still a Konoha ninja, he had encountered a ninja capable of using the Hyuga Clan's ancient martial arts during a mission to Kirigakure. However, that Hyuga Clan ninja had not originally been able to use the Gentle Fist's ancient martial arts. He had only been able to do so because Uchiha Madara was controlling him.
