The Third Elder chimed in.
"That's right! Even if you share the same origin, it doesn't change the fact that you are outnumbered and outmatched. The marriage of the eldest daughter of the Main Family concerns the future of the Hyuga Clan and cannot be decided hastily!"
Xin completely ignored the two elders' repeated obstruction.
He didn't even glance at them.
Xin slowly poured himself a cup of tea and took a small sip.
"Elders, you seem to have misunderstood something."
Xin put down his teacup and looked directly at the Grand Elder and Hyuga Hiashi.
"I'm not here today to curry favor with your Hyuga Clan."
Xin leaned back in his chair, his hands clasped in front of him.
"Now that everyone has confirmed that the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura's ancestor are brothers, have you ever thought about this question?"
Xin paused deliberately, whetting everyone's appetite.
" The Sage of Six Paths possesses the legendary Sage Eyes, also known as the Rinnegan."
"And as for his younger brother, Hamura's ancestor, was the Byakugan he possessed really just an ordinary Dōjutsu used for detection and pinpointing pressure points?"
As soon as those words were spoken...
Hyuga Hiashi's eyes lit up instantly, and he jumped up from his seat.
"Xin! What do you mean by that?!"
Hyuga Hiashi hurriedly pressed for an answer, his voice becoming somewhat shrill with excitement.
"Could the Byakugan... possibly have the potential to evolve?"
As the head of the Hyuga Clan, Hyuga Hiashi dreams of increasing the power of the Byakugan.
The Sharingan can evolve into the Mangekyō, and Shin even demonstrated the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
However, the Byakugan has only ever had one form, which has always limited the Hyuga Clan in terms of top-tier combat power.
Xin smiled as he looked at Hiashi's anxious expression.
"Master Hiashi, please be patient and don't be impatient."
Xin avoided the question and instead threw out another piece of information.
"As descendants of Hamura's ancestor, the Hyuga Clan should know that there is another clan in this world that possesses the Byakugan, right?"
Xin refers to the Branch Family of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, which is located on the moon.
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder's expression changed drastically, and his gaze towards Xin was filled with apprehension and astonishment.
The existence of the Byakugan clan on the moon is an absolute taboo secret of the Hyuga Clan, and even Hiashi may not know all the details.
Just how many secrets does this brat from the Uchiha Clan know?
The Third Hokage was quite surprised to hear this.
"Xin, besides the Hyuga, are there any other Byakugan clans in the Shinobi World?" The Third Hokage couldn't help but ask.
Xin turned to look at the Grand Elder.
The elder stared intently at Xin, his eyes filled with a warning.
He absolutely did not want to reveal the deep secrets of the Ōtsutsuki Clan here.
Xin keenly caught the elder's gaze.
He smiled knowingly and didn't press the matter of the Otsutsuki the moon.
"Where that family is located is not important."
Xin brought the topic back to the present.
"The important thing is that since I was able to find this stone tablet, I have naturally also found the ultimate secret about the evolution of Dōjutsu."
Xin stood up and walked to the center of the hall.
He pointed to his eyes.
" The Sharingan, when evolved to its ultimate form, becomes the Rinnegan, which controls life and death."
Xin looked around at everyone and dropped the biggest bombshell of the day.
"And when the Byakugan evolves to its ultimate form, it will transform into a completely new Eye of God — the Tenseigan!"
" The Tenseigan is an ultimate Dōjutsu on par with the Rinnegan. Those who possess the Tenseigan can even manipulate gravity and repulsion, possessing the terrifying power to destroy stars!"
boom!
These words shocked everyone in the Hyuga Clan.
On par with the Rinnegan!
The power to destroy stars!
The Grand Elder could no longer remain seated.
This old man, who usually remained calm even in the face of a collapsing mountain, was now trembling with excitement.
He leaned on his cane, walked quickly to Xin, and grabbed Xin's arm.
" Tenseigan... Are you telling the truth?!"
The Grand Elder's breathing was rapid, like a broken bellows.
"Do you... do you know how to evolve the Byakugan into the Tenseigan?!"
The Second Elder and the Third Elder were completely speechless at this moment.
They stopped arguing and shouting, stared wide-eyed, and listened quietly like two well-behaved schoolchildren.
If the Byakugan could truly evolve into the Tenseigan, which is on par with the Rinnegan, then the Hyuga Clan would surely reign supreme in the Shinobi World and become a true god-like clan!
Facing the Grand Elder's almost frantic, expectant gaze.
Xin smiled broadly and nodded without hesitation.
"Certainly."
Xin's answer was absolutely firm, without the slightest hesitation.
Seeing the fanatical looks in the eyes of the Hyuga leaders, Xin smiled smugly to himself.
The fish has finally taken the bait.
"Certainly."
Xin's two resolute words echoed continuously in the council hall.
Upon hearing that the Byakugan could truly evolve into the Tenseigan, which was on par with the Rinnegan, the three elders of the Hyuga Clan were completely enraged and agitated.
The elder's hand gripping his cane trembled violently, and his wrinkled old face flushed with an unnatural redness from excitement.
The Second Elder and the Third Elder exchanged glances, their eyes filled with undisguised greed and desire.
"Good! Good! Good!"
The elder said "good" three times, then turned around and strode back to his seat.
" Uchiha Xin, I now formally represent the Hyuga Clan expressing my opinion."
The elder stared intently at Xin, his tone becoming more cheerful than ever before.
"I agree to your marriage with Hinata!"
Upon hearing this, the Second Elder and Third Elder, though still harboring resentment towards the Uchiha Clan, tacitly chose to remain silent in the face of the immense temptation of the Tenseigan.
However, the elder changed the subject.
"However, I have one condition."
The elder raised a finger, his tone exuding an undeniable authority.
"Now that you've mastered the method for evolving the Byakugan, you must Awakening Hanabi's Tenseigan!"
This condition shocked everyone present.
The second and third elders immediately became anxious and tried to dissuade them.
"Elder! How can such divine power Tenseigan be so easily handed over to a mere girl!"
The Second Elder spoke up eagerly, hoping that this power could be placed in the hands of the Elder Council.
The First Elder abruptly waved his hand, sternly stopping the Second Elder's attempt to dissuade him.
"My mind is made up, say no more!"
Hyuga Hiashi, sitting in the main seat, sighed inwardly upon hearing this condition.
He knew all too well what the Grand Elder was planning.
The Hyuga Clan's higher-ups had long lost patience with Hinata, who was gentle and disliked fighting.
They have poured all their heart and soul into Hanabi, who is more talented and has a stronger personality.
The elders had already made a decision to have Hanabi Hinata and inherit the position of the clan leader.
It was precisely because Hinata was completely abandoned by the elders that Hanabi was established as the successor, thus preventing Hanabi from having the cruel Caged Bird Seal etched on her forehead.
The power shifts and cruel rules within this clan were not something that the clan leader, Hiashi, could decide alone.
