Hinata: I'm in charge of Konoha.

One day three years ago

Springtime is gentle and the sun is shining brightly.

Four-year-old Neji met his younger sister, who was a year younger than him, for the first time.

It was small, soft, and looked so fragile that you couldn't help but want to pat its head. It followed obediently beside Lord Hiashi...

"Neji, this is Hinata, the person you will protect for the rest of your life."

Neji nodded subconsciously at the words his father spoke beside him.

She's so cute!

I want to protect her for the rest of my life.

This was the thought that arose in Neji's mind when he first met Hinata.

-

She's so ruthless!

When are you finally going to leave me alone?!

This is Neji Hyuga's current opinion of Hinata.

Hyuga clan training ground

Inside a traditionally styled building made entirely of wood, two children stood dressed in black and white practice clothes.

No!

Didn't we just practice this morning?!

Why do we have to have another one?!

At only seven years old, with a childlike face, the little boy in his white training clothes looked at the cute little girl standing opposite him and seemed to be losing his composure.

Hyuga Neji subconsciously looked around. There were only a few attendants standing around the training ground, and his father, Hyuga Hizashi, was not there because of clan matters...

So that means...!

I didn't even have a chance to call for my dad to save me!

"Brother Neji, you must not slack off in your training; you must give it your all."

"With my brother's talent, I'm sure he won't need anyone to remind him."

Hinata, dressed in a black training uniform, seemed to sense her cousin's unease and kindly offered a word of reminder.

???

My talent?!

How come I didn't know I had this talent?

Neji Hyuga felt like crying, but he was forced into this situation and had no choice but to agree.

Hinata's father, Hiashi Hyuga, and Neji's father, Hizashi Hyuga, were brothers born of the same mother.

Because of the unique nature of the Byakugan, the fate of the two brothers was determined simply by their birth order.

This is a unique distinction between the main family and branch families within the Hyuga clan.

The branch family has a caged bird engraved on it, and the main family can use the caged bird curse to kill the branch family at any time if they wish.

The caged bird cannot be freed; only death and the flight of its soul can bring liberation.

Beneath these seemingly ruthless rules lies another profound meaning.

Reincarnation Eye.

This is a top-secret secret of the Hyuga clan, passed down orally only among the heads of the main and branch families throughout history.

Only by collecting a large number of Byakugan can one obtain Tenseigan.

If it's just because of the fear of outsiders taking advantage of one's disapproval, there's absolutely no need to resort to such extreme measures.

Even the Byakugan's perception is no match for the Uzumaki clan's Kagura Mind's Eye. Just kidnap any Uzumaki clan man and use him as a breeding boar, and sooner or later you'll acquire Kagura's Mind's Eye.

Therefore, the Hyuga clan's Caged Bird Seal is not meant to protect against outsiders, but rather against their own people.

This is also why, for thousands of years, no member of the Hyuga clan has ever rebelled against the main family.

Furthermore, the Caged Bird Seal was activated by the main family rather than being triggered passively.

If any member of the clan is too harsh, willful, cruel, or inhumane.

The day the family can no longer bear the separation, a rope will secretly be wrapped around the neck of the head of the main family member while he is fast asleep.

After all, nobody's a fool.

Otherwise, given Hashirama Senju's personality at the founding of Konoha, he would have intervened upon learning of the Hyuga's extreme methods.

Hinata is currently facing Neji Hyuga, who is a member of the branch family.

Hinata and Neji each assumed a Gentle Fist stance, and simultaneously activated their Byakugan.

Gentle Fist is a special martial art created by the Hyuga clan based on the Byakugan's ability to see the body's meridians. It can use chakra to attack the opponent's acupoints, meridians, and internal organs through pressure point techniques.

Gentle Fist is the most representative skill of Hyuga Taijutsu, bar none.

Often in battle, as soon as there is physical contact with the enemy, the enemy's chakra flow will be blocked due to the sealing of acupoints, making it a powerful close-combat weapon.

Over time, Gentle Fist became almost synonymous with the Hyuga clan, and the Hyuga clan ninjas gradually began to specialize in Gentle Fist, rarely using ninjutsu.

Meanwhile, Neji, who was sitting opposite Hinata, had been hailed as a genius since childhood.

This title of genius represents Neji's talent for Gentle Fist.

The reason why Hinata was able to beat Neji, who was known as a genius, to the point of calling him "daddy" during her daily training is quite simple.

In the training ground, Hinata and Neji adopted the starting stance of Gentle Fist and Bagua Palm, as if a Tai Chi Bagua diagram covered the field.

Neji stands on the sunny side, Hinata stands on the shady side.

The next second, the two attacked almost simultaneously!

One palm strike.

Hinata and Neji moved swiftly, simultaneously clashing their palms together, an invisible wave of chakra erupting between their hands!

With just one palm strike, Neji's expression changed slightly.

Two palm strikes.

Another round of clashes ensued, and Neji's punches were noticeably more powerful.

Four palms.

The two engaged in two rounds of offense and defense in a short period of time, and Neji's expression had become extremely tense.

Eight palms...

The lightning-fast hand slipped through the gap between Neji's arms and struck Neji's chest.

An invisible force erupted from Neji's chest, causing him to involuntarily take two steps back.

Eight palms, eight moves.

In the Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palm, the highest number of strikes can be 128, but the exchange between Hinata and Neji was only a fraction of that. Hinata's Gentle Fist had already pierced through Hyuga Neji's defense and landed on Neji's chest.

Neji Hyuga is "dead".

"Again!"

Hinata withdrew her hands and stood still, maintaining her fighting stance.

Neji looked down at his chest, gritted his teeth, and continued fighting Hinata.

In an instant, the training ground was filled with the figures of the two, and the chakra explosions from the collision of their soft fists were endless.

This world belongs to bloodlines.

The protagonist Naruto has the Otsutsuki bloodline, the second male lead Sasuke has the Otsutsuki bloodline, and the Uchiha, Senju, Uzumaki, Hyuga, and Kaguya all have the Otsutsuki bloodline.

This applies to both the righteous and the villainous.

Rounding down, that means none of us have any blood relation.

How could Hinata defeat Neji, who is known as a genius, within ten moves under the same conditions?

She is the biological mother of Boruto Uzumaki, the future savior.

Boruto perfectly inherited the advantages of Naruto and Hinata's bloodline.

What are Hinata's advantages?

Or does Hinata possess the talent to be a strong person?

After all, even later on, Hinata's future is nothing more than being a housewife, or at most a Chunin.

In the original work, Hinata Hyuga is a love-obsessed person.

All he talks about is Naruto, and he often follows Naruto around.

As the protagonist's wife, she perfectly meets everyone's expectations of her.

Furthermore, due to her personality, it's estimated that Hinata in the original manga probably never really had a full meal.

Furthermore, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, all twelve Konoha 11 unleashed their full power, but in the original story, Hinata, with the help of the Nine-Tails' chakra and a flashback, barely managed to unleash seventy-two palm strikes to defeat a Ten-Tails clone, which was truly a difficult feat.
