Why was Princess Kaguya immortal? Why could she only be sealed away and not killed? At this moment, Uya finally understood.
Because of Princess Kaguya's will, no one can erase it. Even the Sage of Six Paths could not erase Princess Kaguya's will and could only helplessly divide it.
Although the Sage of Six Paths sealed away Kaguya Otsutsuki and replaced Princess Kaguya as the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, that was only in terms of physical strength. In terms of soul and will, he could not reach Princess Kaguya's level.
No one can reach Princess Kaguya's level in terms of soul and will, so no one can shake Princess Kaguya's will, therefore Princess Kaguya is 'immortal'.
But in reality, there is no such thing as true immortality.
Uya now fully understands what's going on. It's just that no one can erase Princess Kaguya's will, which is why she is immortal. But once he completes this final transformation and stands on the same level as Princess Kaguya, Princess Kaguya will no longer be immortal!
At this moment, Princess Kaguya's will seemed to sense the threat posed by Uya and wanted to gather together to kill Uya before he could complete his transformation. However Uya, because her will was too scattered, it was too difficult to reunite.
However, Uya could still sense that Princess Kaguya's will was drifting and gathering, seemingly wanting to actively break away from the ninja's Chakra and give Chakra up, but this was very difficult and the progress was extremely slow.
Uya neither stopped them nor tried to entangle with the scattered will of Princess Kaguya.
Because there's no need to stop it at all.
Uya knew perfectly well that Princess Kaguya's resurrection could not possibly occur before he completed his final transformation!
Even if Princess Kaguya were to be resurrected after he completes his final transformation, so what?
Everything is now clear.
Just as Uya's soul began its final transformation, understanding Princess Kaguya's immortality and many other things, he finally came to his senses, and the battle had already reached the seventh round.
In the sixth round, Uya didn't notice the specifics of the situation, but it seemed to be a battle between Naruto and Kiba Inuzuka, so Uya didn't pay much attention.
It was in the seventh round that Uya's lips curled into a slight smile.
"Round 7, Hinata Hyuga vs. Neji Hyuga!"
Upon seeing the draw for the seventh round, Gekko Hayate revealed a slight change in expression, while the Jonin present all wore different expressions, their gazes all focused on Hinata.
Almost all the Jonin present knew that Hinata was Uya's disciple, because this was a completely public fact, and because of this, no one dared to make a move against the Hyuga Clan.
Perhaps this draw was intentional, as it's not good for anyone to face Hinata, so they simply arranged for Neji Hyuga, also from the Hyuga Clan, to fight against Hinata.
Hinata, upon reaching the center of the arena, noticed that all the Jonin's eyes seemed to be fixed on her, and she couldn't help but show a hint of timidity, looking quite pitiful.
Only a handful of people know that Hinata's true strength is completely different from her appearance.
Uya, Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame Kurenai Yuhi, Gaara...
As for Neji Hyuga, he was not among them. Although he was from the same clan as Hinata, he was a year older than Hinata, and Hinata was Uya's disciple, so he could not train with Hinata. When Uya was instructing Hinata in her training, even Hizashi Hyuga did not dare to approach her casually, for fear of displeasing Uya.
"Just right..."
Neji Hyuga watched round after round, but Hinata never got to play, and he himself never got to play either. He had a vague premonition.
As expected, his opponent was Hinata.
Looking at Hinata's timid face, Neji Hyuga's expression turned cold, and a deep jealousy lurked in the depths of his eyes.
His father, Hizashi Hyuga, now manages the Hyuga Clan. The matter of the Branch Family and the Main Family doesn't bother him. He's not jealous that Hinata is from the Main Family while he's from the Branch Family. What he's jealous of is that Hinata can become Uya's disciple.
Hinata's personality, in his view, was completely unsuitable for being a ninja, nor for being the head of the Hyuga Clan.
" Neji -nii..."
Hinata was unaware of Neji Hyuga's inner thoughts, but Neji Hyuga's gaze was sharp, even sharper than that of the Jonin them, making it difficult for her to look directly at him, so she lowered her head slightly.
Gaara stood in the stands, gazing silently at Hinata below.
He was beaten so badly by this seemingly frail girl that he was almost powerless to fight back, and in the end, his will almost collapsed, causing him to release the One-Tail Shukaku. Others might be deceived by appearances, but he wouldn't. He knew that Hinata was very, very strong.
Temari and Kankuro were equally solemn as they watched the scene unfold. Hinata's power, capable of breaking through Gaara's Absolute Defense, made both of them tremble.
"Start!"
Gekko Hayate glanced at Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hyuga, then at Uya above, before waving.
" Hinata, I apologize for the intrusion."
Neji Hyuga didn't verbally attack Hinata as he did in the original story. He couldn't do that, nor did he dare to, because Uya was sitting right above him.
What he wanted was to defeat Hinata fair and square, using his strength to prove that he was the one who deserved recognition!
So, he first bowed to Hinata, and then Neji Hyuga adopted the Gentle Fist stance and suddenly rushed towards Hinata.
Hinata and Neji both activated their Byakugan at the same time. Compared to Neji, Hinata's Byakugan was undoubtedly more powerful, and she could see Neji's movements clearly.
With her strength, Hinata could have easily defeated Neji, but Hinata didn't. Instead, she passively defended against Neji's attacks, simply parrying them.
Although this was the preliminary examination venue for the third Chunin Ninja Exams, Hinata had no intention of defeating Neji Hyuga in one move. In fact, seeing the determination to win in Neji's eyes, she even considered whether to hold back a little.
But then she thought of Uya again. With her Byakugan's 360-degree view, she saw Uya sitting on the railing of the stands with a smile on his face, and Hinata's resolve strengthened once more.
We can't let Professor Uya down!
So... I'm sorry, Neji- san...
Neji Hyuga kept pressing Hinata's defenses, watching Hinata was powerless to fight back, not retaliating at all, and only passively defending herself. He shook his head inwardly.
It seems that even if Hinata studies under Lord Uya, she's still not that great.
If we were just a little faster, we could have won!
With this thought in mind, Neji Hyuga's gaze darkened, and he prepared to increase his attack speed to quickly end the battle and achieve a magnificent victory over Hinata. (To be continued.)
