The demons lay prostrate before the Thunder God Temple, chanting, "May the merciful incarnation protect us!"
The sight was utterly breathtaking!
Hyuga Deping was barely clinging to life. Through hazy eyes, he saw members of the Hyuga Branch Family kneeling before Hyuga Kagami.
They were shouting, "Clan Leader!"
His mind went blank. He felt as if the world had collapsed!
"They've gone mad. They've all gone mad. The Caged Bird Seal has lost its power, and the Branch Family chose their own clan leader. The Hyuga Clan's sky... has changed!"
He couldn't help murmuring. His head lolled to one side, and he passed out!
"Hey!"
"Ha!"
"Hey!"
"Ha!"
A small figure, her little face covered in sweat, worked hard at practicing the Gentle Fist.
Watching Hyuga Hinata train so diligently, Hyuga Hiashi knitted his brows. His eyes held nothing but dissatisfaction as he barked, "Too slow! You're much too slow!"
"And your stance is wrong!"
"Though the Gentle Fist has the word 'gentle' in its name, it's actually fierce and forceful! You need to move faster, get your stance right, and put more strength into your blows!"
"Are you really my daughter, Hyuga Hiashi's? How can your talent be so poor?"
Hyuga Hiashi's eyes were filled with disappointment!
His daughter hadn't inherited his talent. Compared with Neji, who was only a year older, she was like night and day!
"I-I'm sorry, Father. I'll work even harder!"
Hyuga Hinata's little face was tense with nerves.
Her punches sped up a little, but the faster she moved, the more openings she left. Her attacks were completely disorganized—worse than before!
"What a good-for-nothing!"
Hyuga Hiashi snorted.
His brows furrowed, his mood sour. He couldn't help thinking of the figure who had challenged him yesterday!
"Hyuga Kagami!"
Hyuga Hiashi's gaze turned icy.
