Konoha's genius puppeteer? Hanabi's surprise
She gazed at the innocent Hanabi Hyuga, hesitating to speak, "When your father returns, Hanabi will..."
Originally, if Hinata hadn't changed so much...
With the excuse of needing to further examine the two daughters to determine which one is more suitable to become the heir of the Main Family, it's impossible to do so so quickly.
After all, the eldest daughter's previous performance had failed to satisfy the entire Hyuga Clan.
Even the elders of the Main Family wouldn't pressure Hyuga Hiashi to make an immediate decision.
But Hinata suddenly became so outstanding.
She is now a completely different person from the one who was once mediocre in talent and had a timid and weak personality.
As the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan head, she should rightfully be the heir to the Main Family head line according to clan rules, and with the talent and potential she has shown so far, this is beyond dispute.
This left her husband Hyuga Hiashi, without an excuse.
Those rigid, rule-abiding Main Family the clan kept pressuring him.
Even the clan head couldn't withstand the pressure from the Hyuga Clan.
After all, even the former Hyuga Hiashi Hyuga Hiashi figure, could not escape the Cursed Seal of the Branch Family.
Not to mention Hanabi nowadays.
Now that she's four years old, she will eventually be branded with the Cursed Seal Restoration B.
They became members of the Branch Family.
"What?"
Hinata's expression changed.
The hand that was stroking Hanabi's head trembled involuntarily.
Should B be reinstated?
She had personally witnessed the immense pain her uncle Hizashi Hyuga and cousin Neji Hyuga endured when their murderous intent towards her angered her father, Hyuga Hiashi, leading to the immediate activation of his Recovery B Jutsu...
The scene was absolutely chilling.
That kind of technique that can control the lives of the Hyuga branch Hyuga Branch Family.
That's just too cruel.

"Sister, it's alright..."
Hanabi bowed its head.
She bit her lip there. "Isn't it just restoring B?"
After a moment, she raised her head.
She flashed a sweet smile.
With pure white eyes, she looked at her older sister. "Father said that the responsibility of the Branch Family is to protect the Main Family, and the Main Family is responsible for leading the family to prosperity!"
"I always wanted to protect my sister!"
"Hanabi..."
Hinata Hyuga shuddered.
Hanabi, you already knew?
She felt a pang of self-reproach and guilt.
If it weren't for her own actions, perhaps Hanabi wouldn't have faced the fate of being branded with the Cursed Seal of Resurrection.
She hugged her younger sister tightly, her pure white eyes glistening, and said earnestly, "Sister won't let you be bound!"
His tone was filled with unprecedented resolve.
"So... can my sister come out and play with me today?"
He held Hinata's hand.
Hanabi gazed longingly at her older sister.
She, still young, didn't quite understand the fate of the Hyuga Clan.
All she knew was that she might no longer be the second young lady of the Hyuga Clan, but would become like other members of the Branch Family, having to call her older sister Hinata- sama.
Also, she will have an unsightly Cursed Seal on her head, just like Hyuga Natsu, the Branch Family member who takes care of her, which she usually has to cover with a strip of cloth or Forehead Protector.
But one thing she was very clear about was that even her father, the head of the Hyuga Clan and the one who always had the final say in the family, could not refuse the elders' requests.
As the elder sister of the heir of the Main Family, it was naturally even more impossible for her to do so.
Chapter 203 Konoha's Genius Puppet Master? A Surprising Hanabi [Second Update]
"Alright, let's head out!"
Goodbye, Mother!
Soon--
I've finished washing up.
The mother and her two daughters finished their sumptuous breakfast.
Since she resolved to become stronger and follow in that man's footsteps, Hinata has been putting her words into action, devoting most of her time to training day and night.
I took a rare break and didn't practice my cultivation.
With her younger sister Hanabi, who was quite excited, she left home, watched by her mother Hyuga Ayako.
"Wow~, sister, it's so lively..."
His father, Hyuga Hiashi, is no longer with us.
Without the constraints of the Hyuga Clan's rules.
Hanabi liberate our nature and fill us with excitement.
They ran around excitedly in the streets.
"Hanabi, be careful..." Hinata looked at her younger sister with doting eyes.
"I want this..."
"I want that too..."
"Mmm, so delicious!"
He held two or three candied hawthorn skewers in each hand.
Because of Hyuga Hiashi's constraints, Hanabi, who usually wouldn't dare to make these Hanabi to her serious and rigid father even when going out with him, was incredibly satisfied.
With her crescent-shaped eyes squinted, she skipped and hopped around, brimming with joy.
He presented one to Hinata like a treasure. "Sister, here..."
"Yes, thank you, Hanabi..."
Hinata smiled and accepted the candied hawthorn.
Patting his little sister's head, he said helplessly, "You can't eat too much, or you'll get cavities!"
Looking at my sister's bright and sunny smile.
She clenched her fist and made a decision in her heart.
Hanabi, I won't let you become like Neji.
He pulled a lifelike paper crane with a shimmering green hue from his pocket.
Those were origami cranes folded from leaves, a gift from that Brother Rikuto.
It is said that all you need to do is input Chakra into it.
No matter how far away they are, he can sense them immediately.
"Eh? Sister..."
Hanabi, who was running ahead, turned around.
He ran up to Hinata and stared in surprise at the paper crane in her palm.
"What's this?"
But before she could curiously reach out her little hand...
Hinata had already put the origami cranes away.
Patting her little sister's head, she smiled and said, "Hanabi, I'm taking you to see someone..."
"Meet someone?"
She tilted her head.
Her pure white eyes were filled with surprise. "Is she my sister's friend?"
"Is he the heir of that Yamanaka Clan, or that legendary genius puppeteer?"
She had overheard a guard from the Branch Family, who had been sent by her father to follow her sister, mention it.
These days, this older sister has become very close to Ino Yamanaka, the young lady of the Yamanaka Clan, and the girl who has recently been hailed as a genius puppeteer at the Ninja Academy.
The three of them often practiced meditation together.
"None of them... But if Hanabi wants to meet them, I can introduce you!"
Hinata smiled slightly.
His eyes were filled with doting affection as he looked at his younger sister.
"Great, great..." Hanabi's eyes lit up.
She also wanted to meet her sister's friends and see just what kind of impressive people they were.
I've heard that the young lady from that Yamanaka Clan is also a very rare genius.
At such a young age, he had already mastered most of the family's Secret Techniques with ease.
It seems she also possesses the superhuman Superhuman Strength Fist of one of the Lady Tsunade Sannin, Lady Tsunade.
Soon--
Hinata is accompanied by Hanabi.
They arrived at a training ground not far from the Hokage Rock.
There, two wooden puppets, seemingly possessing their own consciousness, were constantly attacking each other.
"Huh? Is that a puppet?"
Hanabi's eyes widened.
He looked around, but the area was empty; there was no one else there.
Isn't it said that you need Chakra Threads to control puppets?
But she didn't see anyone at all!
I was extremely surprised.
"Byakugan!"
She Hand Seals with her hands.
Veins bulged at the corners of his eyes.
Observing the two puppets, his pupils contracted sharply. "There are actually two... little people inside the puppets?"
With her Byakugan's ability to see through things, she easily discovered the secret behind why the puppet could move on its own without human control.
It turned out to be two tiny figures, hidden inside the puppet's body.
Furthermore, judging from its appearance and Chakra Pathway System, it is essentially a miniature "human".
"That's amazing!" Hanabi exclaimed.
