The Future Development Direction of the Hyuga Clan

At this moment, possessing the Tenseigan and his own heaven-defying template abilities, his strength was not the least bit inferior to any living ninja.

The only things he had to worry about were the old schemers of the Ninja World.

The Otsutsuki Clan hidden in various corners, the Sage of Six Paths lurking within the Pure Land, and the sealed Kaguya Otsutsuki.

These people would all cause trouble for his life.

He did not want this world to undergo too drastic a change, as that would cause his advantage as a prophet to vanish.

Upon further reflection, he realized he was the one hidden the deepest.

By staying in the shadows and utilizing his prophetic advantage to harvest souls and Manifestation Points, he could acquire even more templates.

He would accumulate power while ensuring he lived in a relatively stable environment.

He would obtain the chakra of the nine Tailed Beasts, allowing his other Byakugan to evolve into the Tomoe Rinnegan.

In the days to come, he would harvest special souls from Shippuden, allowing himself to summon more templates from the heavens.

But before that, he needed to make the Third Hokage, who was eyeing him, back off.

He walked out of his private training room and crossed the backyard of the Hyuga Clan, where Hyuga clansmen brimming with smiles greeted him one after another.

He responded to each of them in turn.

The current Hyuga Clan finally felt like a harmonious, big family.

The people of the clan lived together in the clan grounds, helping one another.

Compared to the clan of the past, there was a sense of warmth.

After walking for over ten minutes, he finally arrived at the Hyuga Clan's meeting room.

People were already waiting inside the meeting room, whispering and murmuring to one another.

The number of people this time was only a dozen or so, even fewer than last time, and most were people with physical disabilities.

The Jonin with strong mobility had been sent to protect the casinos, as business at the casinos had been booming lately.

These people here today had their own tasks.

Shinichi Hyuga pushed the door open and entered.

The seat at the very center had already been reserved for him.

The scene instantly fell silent, and the previous noise vanished.

Shinichi Hyuga swept his gaze across the room and nodded to himself; although these people could no longer go out on combat missions due to their age, their love for the Hyuga Clan was just as intense.

"Clan Head, your body?"

Hizashi Hyuga exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Shinichi Hyuga as he was now.

His eyes and arm, which should have been missing, were restored, and the aura around his body was several times stronger.

The ninjas present looked at one another.

Only then did they realize that, aside from Hizashi Hyuga, the Third Elder, and Hyuga Jizoku, everyone else had some form of disability.

The original Gentle Fist and the initial combat style of their Hyuga Clan were often close-quarters, which resulted in a disproportionately high rate of injury and disability within the clan.

So, by calling them here today, was he going to heal them?

"As you can see, my body has recovered. The abilities I now possess can likewise restore your health."

Shinichi Hyuga saw the excitement in their hearts and gave them a definitive answer.

In the future, he would move about Konoha with a complete body, which would inevitably arouse the wariness of some people.

To prevent his Ajin abilities from being exposed too early, he thought of a way to cover up his power.

He would use cell cultivation methods to restore the disabled ninjas of the Hyuga Clan to wholeness.

All of this was built upon the monstrous biological talent of Haibara Ai, who, in the low-magic world of Conan, was able to research drugs that approached immortality.

Now, by combining this with the chakra of the Ninja World—a near-omnipotent energy—he could develop a brand-new technology.

It would be capable of rapid cloning and growing limbs that could be used for replacement.

This technology was also a capability he would use to stabilize Konoha and the Land of Fire.

It could both win over people's hearts and elevate his own status.

War was a thing that caused so many to become crippled.

He wanted to establish a medical center in this world that transcended the world itself.

This plan of Shinichi Hyuga's would need to be implemented slowly.

The gaze of Shinichi Hyuga fell upon the jonin of the Hyuga Clan gathered in the meeting room; their expressions were varied.

Most were filled with excitement, finally seeing the possibility of recovering their health and becoming more useful to the clan.

A few were sorrowful, recalling comrades who had become disabled and unable to care for themselves, eventually waiting quietly for death or, in extreme cases, committing suicide.

"Clan Head, is this true?"

An old man's eyes were already brimming with tears as he asked the question from the bottom of his heart.

One of his palms had been severed by the Third Raikage using the Hell Stab during the Second Shinobi World War.

Ever since then, he had been relegated to a logistics ninja.

In the midst of war, there were those who suffered even worse fates than him; people missing both legs or both arms were everywhere.

This was war.

"Of course. With the technology I have mastered now, as long as I extract the cells, I can grow a new arm within a month."

Shinichi Hyuga raised his right arm high, letting this [fact] speak for itself.

The crowd stared intently, trying to discern something different, with some even activating their Byakugan.

After a thorough investigation, they still could not find any discrepancies.

Whether it was the meridians or the bones, everything belonged to Shinichi Hyuga's own bloodline.

Now they finally believed completely, and the look of anticipation in their eyes grew even more intense.

Their hearts were filled with hope for the future; could they also be restored?

"After the meeting ends, stay behind to have your blood drawn. Once you have recovered your health, walk around the village more. You are my living advertisements."

Shinichi Hyuga spoke with a smile, giving them a definitive answer.

Once these people were restored to full health, he would become a figure sought after by everyone in Konoha, the entire Land of Fire, and the whole shinobi world.

His status would even surpass that of Tsunade, the medical saint recognized by the shinobi world.

These men clenched their fists, and some pinched their own legs until purple marks appeared; the pain told them this was not a dream.

Only then did Shinichi Hyuga turn his gaze to the Third Elder and ask, "What is the current word in the shinobi world regarding the Byakugan?"

He had already killed the chicken to warn the monkey; now he wanted to see the monkey's reaction.

"Clan Head, the effect is excellent. Every person who transplanted a Byakugan did not last a month; their bodies turned into dried corpses, as if they had been drained dry by the Byakugan. It is enough to serve as a warning to those people; in the short term, no one should want to plunder the Byakugan."

Hizashi Hyuga spoke with a smile, his tone even more respectful toward Shinichi Hyuga, though a trace of worry remained in his heart.

He already had a guess in his mind.

However, it was a guess he never wanted to voice.

Shinichi Hyuga nodded slightly, though he did not care.

His eye had already evolved into the Tenseigan, capable of absorbing the chakra of others; as long as he could locate a non-native Byakugan, he could absorb its chakra and ocular power.

He would no longer need to be physically present as he had been this time.

As long as his Tenseigan existed, this backlash would remain a reality.

"Very good, this makes our clansmen relatively safe, but it is not enough. The development direction of the Hyuga Clan needs to change. The previous method of being used as scouts and relying on the Gentle Fist for close combat was simply the idea of an idiot. From now on, every clansman must learn archery. If we can attack from a distance in the shadows, why engage in close combat? We must leverage the advantages of the Byakugan and our status as a wealthy clan. Every arrow will be equipped with an Explosive Tag, turning us into long-range ninjas. Furthermore, we must utilize the true potential of the Byakugan: medicine. From now on, our Hyuga Clan will surpass the Senju Clan and become the greatest medical clan."

Shinichi Hyuga laid out his plans for the Hyuga Clan without haste.

The original Hyuga Clan had been too accommodating to Konoha, developing in positions where they seemed proficient but were actually sacrificing their own interests.

Now, Shinichi Hyuga had found a better position for them.

A medical clan was his aspiration for the Hyuga Clan.

In Shinichi Hyuga's vision, the Hyuga Clan would become a clan that stood above all other shinobi villages.

These people, having just awakened from their joy, now fell into a state of shame.

As they digested Shinichi Hyuga's words, it was like a sudden enlightenment; the previous Hyuga Clan had been treated as mere consumables.

Now, the new combat style planned by Shinichi Hyuga would allow the Hyuga Clan to preserve their lives to the greatest extent possible.

This only added to the respect these men felt for Shinichi Hyuga.
