Hiss... Konoha Has Another Genius Ninja

Naruto just smiled slightly.

"You flatter me."

Hyuga Hiashi was currently in middle age and had not yet entered his twilight years.

His hair was still black.

"Do you know the house rules of the Hyuga clan?"

Hyuga Hiashi got straight to the point.

Since Naruto possessed such a temperament.

It meant the other party was certainly a smart person.

When dealing with smart people.

There was no need for any roundabout tactics.

You are relaxed, and the other party is happy to be at ease.

Naruto thought for a moment, then said.

"Are you referring to the Hyuga clan's policy against marrying outside the clan?"

Tsk tsk... Father-in-law, you aren't being very kind.

We are all going to be family soon.

Why bother with these antics?

A flash of surprise crossed Hyuga Hiashi's eyes, but it vanished in an instant, returning to normal as he nodded.

"I didn't expect you to know so much; you must have investigated and looked into it beforehand."

"Very well, after all, this isn't exactly a secret; if one is determined to inquire, it can still be found out."

After a pause, Hyuga Hiashi looked toward the iconic architecture of the Hyuga clan.

"Correct, not only my daughter, but others within the clan are also forbidden from marrying outside!"

"The purpose is to safeguard our superior bloodline, ensuring the abilities of the Kekkei Genkai can continue to be passed down."

"You do not possess a Kekkei Genkai, so you do not understand its preciousness."

I don't have a Kekkei Genkai?

May I ask, does the Golden Rinnegan count?

Naruto said.

"Are these rules passed down from the Hyuga ancestors?"

Hyuga Hiashi neither confirmed nor denied, merely nodding slightly.

"Yes."

Naruto understood, a slight curve forming at the corner of his mouth.

"Rules are rigid, but people are flexible, aren't they?"

"Isn't it quite ridiculous to always cling to the glory of the past?"

"Doesn't this implicitly suggest that you have already declined, but no one wants to admit this fact?"

"Paralyzing yourselves with self-justifying excuses."

Hyuga Hiashi's expression shifted, his face turning somewhat gloomy.

"What are you trying to express?"

To be lectured by a mere brat.

Whoever it was, their expression wouldn't look any better.

Old man, the times have changed...

Naruto smiled.

"Sometimes, making appropriate changes in response to the needs of the era is what aligns with reality."

He paused.

Naruto put away his smile, his expression becoming equally serious.

He met Hyuga Hiashi's gaze, which carried a hint of killing intent, without the slightest fear.

"If there are unreasonable parts, change them; isn't that what you are doing as well?!"

Hinata, my little wife, I am determined to have you!

It doesn't matter who comes!

I said it.

Hyuga Hiashi's expression was one of astonishment.

Can you imagine a child who is merely a genin...

To demand that one make a decision that would Defy Ancestors.

What kind of experience is that?

Good fellow!

Things that no one else dares to say.

Yet you dare to speak them!

If he had said this to anyone else within the Hyuga clan, it would be fine.

He would have turned a blind eye.

But the target of this discussion.

Is him, the Clan Head.

Is this not openly asking him to disrupt the rules?

Hyuga Hiashi's gaze grew increasingly cold.

"Oh? I have always been one to follow the rules."

"The Ancestral Teachings passed down by the clan cannot be changed!"

Naruto wore a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes.

"Is there any point in saying such words of Self-deception?"

"In fact, Uncle, aren't you the greatest destroyer of the Hyuga Clan Rules yourself?"

"Then how is it that I heard that if one were to Handle impartially according to your clan's customs."

"Hanabi surely needs to be branded with the 'Caged Bird' mark, right? Why hasn't it been done yet?"

Hyuga Hiashi's expression suddenly shifted, and he roared loudly.

"Enough! You shut your mouth!"

In the very next instant.

Hyuga Hiashi's eyes narrowed, and veins began to bulge around them.

The Byakugan Pupil Power was activated!

Swirling winds began to condense upon his hands.

Naruto's words had touched his Soft spot.

That's right!

He had indeed been exposed by Naruto.

Two daughters.

Both hands and back of hands are flesh.

His eldest daughter had a weak personality, and while the second daughter was better, he didn't know if she could Bear the heavy responsibility of the family in the future.

Therefore, Hyuga Hiashi had not branded her with the 'Caged Bird' mark.

Furthermore, the main reason was his own Selfishness.

Everyone has Selfishness, and Hyuga Hiashi is no exception.

It is just that as the Clan Head, he used his position to suppress the Reputation of this matter.

Naruto shrugged helplessly.

"Honestly, I don't want to fight you."

This was the truth.

There was truly no need to fight.

A Son-in-law hitting his father-in-law—wouldn't it be awkward when they meet in the future?

Besides, Naruto had no such intention at all.

However, Hyuga Hiashi did not appreciate it in the slightest.

"Hmph, admitting your mistake now? I am going to teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents..."

Before he could finish his sentence.

Hyuga Hiashi's expression changed once again.

His white pupils were filled with shock.

He was currently in the state of having his Byakugan activated.

Naturally, he could see the Chakra meridians on Naruto's body.

However, what Hyuga Hiashi did not expect was.

The Chakra within Naruto's body was incredibly dense.

"Such broad Chakra meridians, and the meridians in his body are extremely tough; I fear that even some High Shinobi cannot reach this level of talent!"

"Hiss... Konoha has produced another genius ninja!"

Hyuga Hiashi gasped, a cold breath of air escaping his lips.

A ninja's upper limit is largely determined by their chakra meridians.

While these meridians can be strengthened through constant training, the extent of that growth is strictly limited.

The High Shinobi of Konoha have all endured day and night of grueling cultivation.

Only then could they possibly attain such a physique.

Yet, looking at Naruto now, he has already reached that level.

Just how old is he?!

Naruto grinned, thinking to himself.

Byakugan, is it? I wonder if it can see through the true chakra strength I've hidden!

That's right.

Naruto had kept an ace up his sleeve.

The system claimed it could help conceal his true chakra meridians.

Even with the Kekkei Genkai Byakugan, it would be impossible to discern the truth.

Naruto trusted the system's word.

And judging by Hyuga Hiashi's expression, if he had revealed everything, the man would have been even more shocked!

After all, Naruto knew that his current strength had already reached Kage-level.

His methods were even more formidable than those of an average Kage!

Hyuga Hiashi withdrew the Pupil Power from his eyes, a gesture that served as an acknowledgment of Naruto's strength.

"The Clan Rules do indeed have their unreasonable aspects, but it would be difficult to convince the entire Hyuga Clan based on my word alone."

"If I could become Hokage, it would be much easier to push for reforms; at the very least, there wouldn't be bloodshed within the clan..."

"My Hyuga Clan truly cannot afford any more turmoil."
