Tenseigan

Therefore, the branch family holds no other intentions. Yet, not everyone feels this way; some believe that since they are all members of the Hyuga Clan, why should the main family live freely while they are branded with the Caged Bird Seal, their freedom restricted, and their descendants subjected to the same fate? There are many who harbor such thoughts, but they are helpless, as the Caged Bird Seal controls their very lives.

Although they cannot stand this treatment, it concerns the clan's heritage, so they have no choice but to endure it.

"Sigh, pedantic, how pedantic. Look at the Uchiha Clan. Their Sharingan is more comprehensive in ability than the Byakugan, and at the Mangekyo level, it is far superior. Yet, you never see them resorting to methods like the Caged Bird Seal. If you want to keep them from targeting the Byakugan, wouldn't it suffice to simply be stronger than them?"

"Your way of thinking is a bit naive."

Hmm, I suppose that's true. Sigh, having been a child for fourteen years, I almost forgot I used to be a young man in my twenties.

"Fine, I won't say any more. If something like this can be eradicated, then do it; if not, then forget it. Can you arrange for a cook? I haven't eaten yet. After I eat, I'll go keep my little nephew and niece company and, while I'm at it, teach the others a thing or two."

"As expected, compared to us old fogies, you prefer your little niece."

"Hahahaha, who told my little niece to be so cute? When I find a girlfriend in the future, I'll have her give me a daughter just as cute."

"Ahem, let's go. Hinata should be training."

"What?! Training?!"

They arrived at the Hyuga main family's training grounds, where little Hinata was practicing some simple Gentle Fist techniques.

Fei Shi couldn't help but frown.

"Brother, Hinata is still young. Letting her train like this isn't helping her; it's harming her."

Hiashi Hyuga didn't understand. How was it harming her? Wasn't letting her train to become stronger helping her? How did it become harm?

"You know Hinata's personality. Even though she's young, you can see she's introverted, easily shy, and lacks self-confidence. You should be cultivating her character while she's young, letting her build confidence; only then will your training have any effect. Otherwise, it's just a waste of time. If she can learn even one or two out of ten things you teach her, that's already quite good."

Hiashi Hyuga frowned, seemingly contemplating the possibility of Fei Shi's words. Could personality really affect learning and training? If that were the case...

Hiashi Hyuga: "Then how should I guide her?"

"Ahem."

Fei Shi coughed once and continued: "Let her play. Let her play however she wants. You should also carve out time to accompany her and play together. Play some physically demanding games—proper games."

Hiashi Hyuga, who was listening intently, and Hizashi Hyuga, who had just arrived, immediately had veins bulging on their foreheads. Byakugan, activate!

Damn it! What do you take me/my brother for!

How could the dignified head of the Hyuga Clan commit such a filthy act!

Wait?

Damn, I actually understood that instantly?! Damn it! Damn it!

"Ah, this—Brother! My own brother! Just a joke, just a joke. Put your hands down, put your hands down."

Damn, my mouth slipped.

"At such a young age and you don't learn anything good—what kind of behavior is this! Fei Shi, you need to change this flippant personality of yours. You are a powerhouse now; how can you be so unreliable!"

"Uh, okay, okay, I'll be careful next time!"

But I won't change.

Fei Shi said silently to himself.

At this moment, Hizashi Hyuga interjected: "You said the same thing last time."

Hiashi Hyuga: "눈_눈"

Fei Shi: "ಥ_ಥ"

Great! I brought this on myself.

After half an hour of ideological education, Fei Shi continued the previous topic.

"Before she turns eight or nine, let her train her physical strength, then let her train her technique later. She can learn the theoretical knowledge at the Ninja Academy just by listening carefully in class, and she can practice technique when she gets home."

"No!"

Hiashi Hyuga refused.

"The elders will have objections, and it will also make the branch family think that the main family is not working hard themselves, using the lives of the branch family as a shield."

Fei Shi stroked his chin, pondered for a while, and then his eyes lit up. If he did this, it would be killing two birds with one stone.

"How about this, Brother? Let her play at home before she enters the academy; after all, she hasn't started yet, so it's hard for others to say anything. Once she enters the academy, send her to me. I'll teach her."

Hiashi Hyuga was startled. Was he asking to take Hinata as a disciple?

To be honest, he was not satisfied with Hinata, because her current personality revealed what she would be like in the future. That was why he was even more severe, trying to force her to become stronger and more confident.

It was just that Hinata... seemed to have become even more timid.

"You... what can you teach her?"

Fei Shi had taught the Hyuga family things that he himself had learned, but the Taiji was too profound, and he hadn't fully grasped it yet. As for the rest, he had mastered them, though not as well as Fei Shi.

Haha, I wonder what your reaction will be after I say what comes next, Brother Hiashi.

"Ah, the things I teach her are things the Hyuga family cannot. I can make her Byakugan evolve and propel her strength to the pinnacle."

Hiashi Hyuga: "!!!"

Hizashi Hyuga: "!!!"

What did they just hear? The Byakugan can evolve? How is that even possible! As far as they knew, this bloodline inheritance had existed for nearly a thousand years, and they had no way to verify anything before that.

Yet, in those thousand years of history, no such thing as a Byakugan evolution had ever occurred.

Given this kid's personality, could he... be trying to scam me?

Trying to trick us? No way!

Seeing the look of disbelief on their faces, Fei Shi wore an "as expected" expression.

"I know you don't believe me, but seeing is believing. Tenseigan, activate!"

Fei Shi first activated his Byakugan, then opened the Tenseigan, his body radiating a unique and astonishing surge of chakra.

Seeing Fei Shi's blue pupils, they couldn't help but be startled. The chakra fluctuations coming from Fei Shi were somewhat similar to the Byakugan, but the intensity left the Byakugan in the dust.

"The Tenseigan possesses the power of destruction and creation. It can create puppets with self-awareness, absorb the ninjutsu and chakra of any ninja other than those with the Byakugan, control space, and manipulate gravitational and repulsive forces. As for other abilities, it seems there are more, but they might cause too much destruction, so I haven't tested them."

Excitement! Unparalleled excitement! That was Hiashi Hyuga's current state of mind.

"Fei Shi, Fei Shi! This, this... how does this Tenseigan compare to the Mangekyo Sharingan?"

He was waiting for an answer now; he desperately needed this answer, urgently.

"It completely crushes the Sharingan."

"Hahahahahahahahahaha!"

"Our Hyuga clan has finally made it! Hahaha, as fellow ocular jutsu clans, the Byakugan has had no means of offense other than observation. Yet the Sharingan, which branched off from the Byakugan, is stronger than it. Hahaha, so it turns out the Byakugan's true power just hadn't awakened. Right, how does one awaken this ability? Is it the same as the Uchiha clan? Can the Hyuga awaken this power?"

"Emm, strictly speaking, only Hinata has this talent. As for Neji, there's a chance, but the probability is a bit low."

"Ah, is it that harsh? This, this, this... sigh~ I thought our Hyuga clan was about to rise. I didn't expect... how frustrating. We finally had a chance to get ahead of the Uchiha, and just like that, it's gone."
