The Gentle Fist technique, Eight Trigrams: Mountain Crusher, was an exceptionally powerful move. When unleashed, the force of the Gentle Fist surged forth like mountains collapsing and seas overturning, forming a massive shockwave. The shockwave was astonishingly powerful, enough to send an opponent flying and make them lose their balance in midair.
When the opponent slammed into a rock after being blasted away, even the rock could not withstand the immense impact and was instantly shattered. This not only demonstrated the formidable power of the Gentle Fist, but also highlighted the Hyuga Clan's exceptional mastery of taijutsu.
Hizashi Hyuga, Neji's father, was as powerful as his elder brother Hiashi. His existence held extraordinary meaning for Neji, for Neji had inherited his talent and become an outstanding shinobi.
Yet fate had treated him unfairly. To protect his son, his elder brother, and the entire clan, Hizashi Hyuga resolutely took Hiashi's place and faced death. He exchanged his own life for the clan's peace and his son's future.
Throughout his life, Hizashi Hyuga had borne the fate of the Hyuga branch family. He silently endured all manner of pressure and injustice within the clan, yet he had never complained. Through his actions, he defined what true clan spirit and selfless devotion meant.
As the head of the Hyuga Clan, Hiashi held earnest hopes for its prosperity. He understood the conflict between the main family and branch family, but he had always believed that one day, they could set aside their prejudices and work hand in hand to lead the Hyuga Clan toward a more glorious future.
During the Chunin Exams, Hiashi finally revealed the truth behind Hizashi Hyuga's death to Neji and showed him his father's final letter. This allowed Neji to completely let go of his hatred toward the main family
