Neji's voice rang out!

His figure had already vanished into the night!

At Hyuga Hiashi's home, Hizashi had arrived and was discussing Tenka's desire to become a Jonin squad leader with Hiashi!

"Hizashi, you said Tenka agreed?"

"He did!"

"Come on, tell me what you're thinking!"

"Big brother, this is what I thought. Look at how he came back this time—his personality is so cold, and his bloodlust is far too heavy!"

"So I thought we could have him become a Jonin squad leader and assign him a more rambunctious team!"

"I just hope it can help him improve, at least make him a little more like a normal person!"

"Not like now, where he's overflowing with killing intent everywhere except at home!"

"More rambunctious..."

Hiashi carefully considered the students in Hinata's class. He had a general impression of all of them!

Hinata's personality certainly could not be called rambunctious. Then, a figure suddenly flashed through Hiashi's mind!

When it came to being lively, who in Konoha had more energy than that guy?

It was just that... his identity was somewhat special. Would the Third Hokage agree?

Wait... he would agree!

"Hizashi, I have an idea. I'm going to see the Hokage right now. Don't worry, the team will definitely be rambunctious!"

"Uncle!"

"W-Wait... don't go yet!"

Neji had run all the way over. He was still injured, and he was panting from exhaustion!

"Neji!"

"Why are you here?"

Hizashi found it rather strange. Shouldn't Neji have been resting properly at home?

Why did he look like something urgent had happened? What on earth was going on?

"Uncle, Father!"

"Something happened—a big thing!"

Neji had recovered quite a bit by now and spoke to the Hiashi brothers.

"Then hurry up and say it!"

"Why are you wasting time catching your breath?"

Hizashi roared. If the brat had not still been injured, he would definitely have strung him up and given him a good beating!

He actually dared to keep his own father in suspense. Did he think his father didn't know how hard a frying pan was?

"If I stopped breathing, wouldn't I just die?" Neji casually shot back.

"What did you say?"

"Say that again! I think your skin's gotten itchy!"

Neji's body trembled at Hizashi's roar, and he felt a little afraid!

They said the scariest thing was when an honest man got angry, and his father was the most honest of honest men!

"Brother told me that those eyes of his are called the Tenseigan!"

"And he said that Hinata, Hanabi, and I all have a chance to evolve our Byakugan into that!"

Seeing his father's dark expression, Neji did not dare delay and hurriedly explained.

"What?"

"Neji, are you sure you didn't hear wrong?"

"Tenka said Hinata could do it too?"

Before Hizashi could react, Hiashi had already found it hard to believe after hearing Neji's words. He wondered whether Neji had misheard!

He believed Tenka when he said Neji and Hanabi could evolve, but Hinata... could she really?

"I didn't hear wrong!"

"I doubted it too, so I specifically asked him!"

"What did Tenka say?"

Hiashi was full of anticipation. If Hinata truly could, that would be wonderful!

"Brother said Hinata has the greatest chance out of the three of us."

"Because her Byakugan has the highest purity!"

"He also said the reason she's performed so poorly is because of you, Uncle..."

"What about me?"

"Then hurry up and say it!"

Hiashi was genuinely anxious. Why had he never noticed that this brat was so punchable before, always stopping halfway through his sentences?

"It's because you raised Hinata into uselessness, Uncle!"

"Brother said that because Hinata was afraid of you, she had never once eaten her fill from childhood until now!"

"If she had been allowed to eat her fill since she was little, she might even be stronger than me now!"

After polishing Tenka's words a little, Neji said them aloud.

Nine years ago, when Tenka caused that disturbance, Hizashi had not died, and Neji had not received the Caged Bird!

Under Hiashi's efforts, the two families had an excellent relationship, and Neji treated his younger sister Hinata even better!

He was practically the definition of a sister-con. He knew Hinata had always been afraid of their uncle!

Now that he had the chance, shouldn't he collect a little interest from his uncle on Hinata's behalf?

That was also why he had rushed over so anxiously—because he had seen hope for his sister Hinata to become stronger!

"Because she was afraid of me, she never ate her fill even once while growing up?"

"This girl..."

Hiashi was stunned. He knew Hinata's usual appetite very well.

Even that had not been enough to fill her? At the same time, Hiashi felt deeply guilty!

He blamed himself for turning Hinata into what she was now, yet he had always been so strict with her!

"Big brother!"

"If you don't know how to raise a child, then let me raise Hinata! You wouldn't even let her eat her fill—what kind of father are you?"

Hizashi was indignant as well. He truly liked Hinata's obedient demeanor.

Now that he had discovered the culprit was actually his own older brother, he could not help snapping at him too!

"I..."

"Neji, go bring Hinata out. We'll just ask her ourselves!"

Seeing that his older brother was speechless, Hizashi instructed Neji.

At once, Neji hurried toward Hinata's room!

"Hizashi, am I such a failure?"

"Big brother, don't say that yet. Hinata might still be going hungry!"

"Hurry up and give the order. Have the servants prepare more dishes that Hinata likes!"

"Oh, right, you're right. I'll arrange it immediately!"

Hiashi came to his senses as well. Thinking that Hinata might have been living like this for years!

Returning to her room every night and enduring hunger all alone, Hiashi felt even worse. His steps unconsciously quickened!

Before long, Hiashi returned, and Neji came out with Hinata!

"Hinata, tell Father. Have you really never been able to eat your fill all this time?"

"I... I..."

Hinata was somewhat confused. Had they called her out in the middle of the night just to ask this?

"It's alright, Hinata. Speak boldly. Big brother won't dare blame you. If he's harsh with you again in the future, come find your uncle. I'll beat him up for you!"

Hearing that, Hiashi shot Hizashi a deeply displeased glance. Beat me up? Did he have the strength for that?

"Mm!"

Hearing Hizashi say that, Hinata gathered her courage and nodded!

"You silly girl, why didn't you say anything if you weren't full?"

"I... I was scared!"

Seeing Hinata like this, Hiashi's heart ached even more. So it had all been caused by him.

"Hinata, come. Father won't be harsh with you anymore. From now on, you can do whatever you want at night. Even if you don't want to train, that's fine!"

"Are you hungry?"

"Wait just a little longer. Father has already arranged it. They're all dishes you like, and they'll be ready soon!"

"Hinata can eat as much as she wants. If it isn't enough, I'll have them make more!"

Feeling a tenderness from her father that she had never experienced before, Hinata finally stopped being so timid and submissive!

"Father, really?"

"Really!"

"Your uncle and Brother Neji are both here!"

"Father won't lie to you!"

"Mm!"

Hinata smiled, and she smiled happily. She felt that this was the happiest day she had experienced in all these years!
