The Hyuga Clan's residence.
Two Branch Family members are guarding the main gate, ready for battle. Most of the Branch Family family members have been sent to the Allied Forces to conduct intelligence gathering, and now is the weakest time for the Hyuga Clan.
Just then, a young boy walked over from the street corner.
"Who?"
"It seems to be..." The two exchanged a glance, and they saw the most unexpected person.
The other person was dozens of meters away one second, and in the blink of an eye, they were right in front of the two.
BOOM BOOM!!
The two men's hearts were pierced by the powerful palm strike, and blood gushed out from their backs, staining the door crimson.
Those branch Branch Family members who have sided with the Main Family should not be allowed to live.
In a courtyard, Hanabi Hyuga was diligently practicing her Rotation technique. For some reason, this move was extremely difficult for her to learn, and she kept falling down.
"I can't give up. I'm now the heir to the Main Family. No matter how hard it is, I must succeed."
Hinata sister, was also unable to master the Rotation technique and often lost to a minor Branch Family member, resulting in her losing her right to be the heir.
She couldn't follow in her sister's footsteps.
Hinata is also training in her own yard, researching the Protecting Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms. She used to bear the fate of the Main Family, which put a lot of pressure on her.
Now it feels like a liberation, allowing me to focus on what I enjoy.
"Everyone is fighting to protect Naruto and the village, so I can't fall behind," Hinata kept encouraging herself.
She had no motivation to cultivate for the sake of the Main Family.
Fighting for someone you love feels like you have inexhaustible energy; every cell in your body is working at full power.
"My foolish sister, you're still so timid and cowardly, secretly liking someone who will never like you back, and repeatedly trying to convince yourself otherwise."
Hinata turned around and saw Neji standing behind her, which startled her so much that she almost fell to the ground.
"Ah... Neji, you're back!"
" Hinata- san!"
Ko Hyuga emerged from his hiding place; his job was to protect Hinata, or more precisely, to protect the Byakugan.
Neji, what are you doing back here?
"To end the cursed fate of the Branch Family and liberate you completely."
"What... what are you talking about..."
"Hmph, I have nothing to say to someone like you." Neji bother wasting his breath and simply raised his hand to strike.
As the young lady's bodyguard, Ko Hyuga was naturally quite strong, and he quickly unleashed his Gentle Fist technique to try and intercept her.
Neji ignored everything and didn't defend himself, aiming directly at Ko Hyuga's heart and striking him.
"Impossible! Why didn't my Chakra cause any damage?" Ko Hyuga was shocked. His Chakra, when he pressed it into the opponent's Path Reversal.
Bang!
His heart ruptured, Ko Hyuga fell backward to the ground, coughing up blood and dying.
"Ah...!!" Hinata was so frightened that she was paralyzed with fear, her whole body trembling and unable to move.
To everyone's surprise, Neji acted swiftly and mercilessly, killing Ko Hyuga Takashi, a fellow member of the Branch Family, on the spot.
Seeing this, Neji comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. After all... I've already promised you to someone else."
Without pausing, he turned and walked out.
Upon hearing about her situation, Hinata immediately snapped back to reality, "'Give it to someone else'—what does that mean?"
"This is a good marriage, and it took a lot of effort to find it. Just grow up well, and you'll naturally understand when the time comes."
Hinata was a little flustered because someone had once called her Otsutsuki.
" Neji, what exactly are you trying to do? Are you going to take revenge on the Main Family?"
"Revenge? No, I won't do something so pointless." Neji shook his head. "Have you heard the story of Uchiha Itachi?"
Hinata seemed to realize something, and her eyelids twitched.
What he can do, I can do too.
Neji disappeared from sight, Hinata, snapping out of her daze, quickly ran towards her sister's yard.
When Neji arrived deep inside the mansion, he indeed saw two serious-looking men standing there, as if they were waiting for him.
The clan leader Hiashi, Hito.
"You dare to come back? Elder Sogen was killed by you, wasn't he?" Hiashi questioned.
When Elder Sogen led the pursuit team away and never returned, leaving no trace, he knew something serious had happened.
Neji replied calmly, "Obviously."
"Stop wasting your breath on him. This guy has completely betrayed the Main Family Hyuga Clan. Kill him," Hito urged.
Hiashi looked at Neji's familiar face as if he were seeing his younger brother from the past. If it weren't for his constant guilt, he would have dealt with Neji's frequent Main Family and hatred towards the Main Family.
" Neji, it seems you're beyond saving."
Hiashi Hand Seals hand seals to activate the Caged Bird Seal, intending to curse Neji; however, there was no reaction after Hand Seals.
"... Impossible! I didn't sense any Cursed Seal."
Seeing Hito, Hien glanced at Neji, a bad feeling rising in his heart. "No way!"
"You guys don't actually think I dared to come back here unprepared, do you?" Neji reached out and untied the bandage from his head, revealing his smooth forehead.
"It's truly astonishing that you actually found a way to break the Caged Bird Seal has been passed down for thousands of years by the Hyuga Clan."
I will not let you leave alive today, no matter what.
Elder Hito could no longer remain calm. He stepped over Hiashi and attacked Neji first. Neji's actions completely shook the foundation of the Hyuga.
The consequences would be severe if others found out that the Caged Bird Seal could be broken.
Pfft...
"Ah... this is..." Hito looked down at the purple lightsaber piercing through his body, his face full of disbelief.
Neji glared at Hito, "You were the one who suggested that my father die in my place back then, weren't you? I won't let you get away with this!"
With a gentle upward flick of his right hand, he cleaved Hito in two.
They will take lives without exception, leaving no survivors.
"Chieftain, do you have any last words?"
"Your eyes..."
Hiashi was shocked. Neji displayed Main Family strength, his white pupils turning purple, and the techniques he used were completely unrelated to Gentle Fist.
" The Eye of Reincarnation possesses power surpassing even the Byakugan. Don't even think about resisting; you are no match for me."
In a rare good mood, Neji patiently explained some of his uncle's blind spots in his knowledge.
"So that's how it is. You plan to kill everyone in the Main Family?"
"How can it be just the Main Family? Those Branch Family who have completely submitted to the Main Family should not be allowed to live either."
You will not be alone on your journey to the Pure Land.
"Do you hate the Main Family that much? It's true that the Caged Bird Seal brought pain to the Branch Family members, but it also protected the Byakugan from the covetous eyes of enemies."
Unrestrained power only leads to destruction; this is a survival strategy that the Hyuga Clan has long learned.
"Those who are going to die shouldn't worry so much. I will put an end to this cursed family. From now on, there will be no Hyuga Clan."
"I think you're probably insane! Eight Trigrams Vacuum Cleaving Palm."
Hiashi gathered Chakra in both hands and unleashed it at Neji; he could not stand by and watch the Hyuga Clan be destroyed.
"Hmph, I knew you wouldn't just obediently accept your fate."
Bang!
Neji's eyes flashed with intense purple light, and a repulsive force appeared out of thin air, deflecting the incoming shockwave back.
" Rotation "
Hiashi knew he was no match for Neji, so he immediately set up a defense. His Rotation Technique had a very large range, which he could use not only for defense but also for attack.
"It's like a cornered beast fighting; you have no idea how much of a gap there is between us."
Neji stretched out his hands, Chakra surged from them, transforming into the shape of a lion's head. The next second, the lion's head pounced out.
roar...
roar...
The two lions blocked the Chakra protective layer of the Rotation from the left and right, and quickly absorbed the Rotation Chakra and transferred it to Neji through their bodies.
"My Chakra..."
Hiashi felt his Chakra rapidly draining away and had to stop, as both lions crashed into him.
boom!!
"Ah..." Hiashi let out a scream, his bones broken in countless places, and he lay on the ground unable to get up.
"You owe me this life, so pay it back today."
"Cough cough... spare... the Hyuga Clan, you also have Hyuga Clan." Hiashi he was doomed, Hiashi pleaded.
"I have already surpassed Hyuga!"
Neji approached Hiashi and struck him in the heart, killing him instantly.
"No!" Hanabi and Hinata rushed over and happened to see this scene. Hanabi used her Gentle Fist to accelerate her attack on Neji.
Snap!
Neji wouldn't tolerate her. He slapped her to the ground. Now that the Main Family was gone, he didn't care about the so-called heir.
"I was just about to look for you, and you've delivered yourself right to my doorstep. I might as well take care of you at the same time."
" Neji- san, please spare Hanabi, I beg you."
Upon seeing this, Hinata immediately knelt down. The Hinata Main Family was already finished, and all she could do was protect her only younger sister.
"Give me a reason to let her go," Neji retorted.
Hinata a state of utter confusion; where could she possibly find an excuse in such a short time?
"Think it over carefully. I'll go and take care of the rest of the Main Family first. If I still can't figure it out before I get back, you can only blame yourself."
Neji swiftly advanced towards the other courtyards. The Hyuga Main Family has far more than one lineage; he had only just killed the main lineage, but there were several other lineages as well.
Soon, screams echoed throughout the mansion as he casually killed Branch Family members who supported the Main Family.
Those Branch Family members who went to the battlefield were lucky.
Half an hour later, Neji, covered in blood, reappeared in front of Hinata and Hanabi, emitting a pungent stench.
Have you thought it through?
"I will listen to Neji- san; I'll do anything you ask."
Hinata is naive, not stupid. Her ninja theory scores are among the best. While others have to cheat on exams, she gets them based on her own abilities.
They still know how to use their brains.
Neji nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this. See? Isn't she quite sensible? Who said Hinata doesn't know how to assess situations?
Hinata, who once mocked him during the Chunin Ninja Exams, saying, "The one who was confused and tormented between the Main Family and the Branch Family was actually you," is finally able to understand his pain a little better.
This is the change that power brings: defeat the enemy, and then communication goes much more smoothly.
He didn't understand this principle before, and suffered a great loss as a result.
Hanabi vowed bitterly, "I will definitely train hard, and one day I will kill you with my own hands."
" Hanabi, calm down," Hinata quickly advised.
Neji sneered, "My foolish sister, come back for revenge when you have eyes like mine."
Hanabi clenched her little pink fists tightly, like a snarling puppy.
Hinata, don't forget your promise to me that you're not allowed to like anyone else from now on. Naruto is in deep trouble right now.
He can't help you, give up on him.
Neji pierced Hinata's last psychological defense and then calmly left.
Hinata collapsed to the ground; the Hyuga Clan was gone.
