Hokage: Start By Prying Hinata Away

The next day.

In the yard of Hinata's house, Hyuga Hiashi walked around with a frown on his face.

He just learned from Yuhi's red mouth that Hinata and Neji met in the preliminary round.

When Yuhi Kurenai learned that he didn't know about the matter, she didn't tell him the result of the game, saying that since Neji and Hinata didn't mention it, it wasn't appropriate for her.

This tortured Hyuga Hiashi extremely uncomfortable.

Although he was convinced that Neji would win, he didn't know why he could feel a sense of expectation from Yuhi Kurenai's expression.

It's like buying a lottery ticket even though you know you won't win, and you just want to know the result.

It's been a while.

Hinata, who had just woken up, washed up, rubbed her groggy eyes and walked out.

As soon as I came out of the house, I saw Hyuga Hiashi walking around in the yard.

Father?

She asked doubtfully: "Father, what are you doing?"

Finally woke up.

Hearing Hinata's voice, Hyuga Hiashi frowned slightly.

He wasted a long time waiting for Hinata to get up.

He knew that Chūnin must be very tired during the exam, and he couldn't bear to disturb his daughter's rest, but he was anxious, so he just wandered around here.

Hyuga Hiashi calmed down his emotions and came to Hinata.

"Hinata, I heard that you and Neji met in the qualifiers?"

"So you already know."

Hinata scratched her face.

Hearing Hinata's usual tone, Hyuga Hiashi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and the trace of expectation he had before sank to the bottom.

Sure enough, Neji won as expected.

Then I thought of Neji's hatred for the clan and the branch house system.

Hyuga Hiashi asked worriedly: "Neji didn't hurt you, did he?"

Hinata shook her head.

"No, Brother Neji has given up."

"Ah That's good."

? ?

Hyuga Hiashi, who had just turned around, widened his eyes and turned around again.

"What did you say? Neji gave up? You mean you won your duel?"

"right."

Hyuga Hiashi frowned.

Usually when Hinata and Neji were training, he was there to watch, and Neji would show murderous intent from time to time.

It is enough to show his hatred for the Hyuga clan and the branch house system.

This time Neji encountered an opportunity to prove to outsiders that even though he was a branch house, he could still defeat the Zong family. Why did Neji admit defeat?

Could it be that he finally agreed with such a system?

Hyuga Hiashi's eyes were a little lonely.

His views on Hyuga's system were shaken when Hizashi died.

However, it is impossible for him to change such a deep-rooted system. When it comes to the survival of the Hyuga clan, his status as clan leader is even less impressive compared to those of the elders.

"Why did Neji admit defeat? Was he afraid of hurting you?"

Hinata's eyes darkened.

Even if I win, my father will subconsciously think that Brother Neji is trying to trick me, right?

After all, in previous sparring sessions, I was always the loser.

My father never had any expectations for me, right?

But I also want to be recognized by my father, even just once.

"Father, actually Brother Neji didn't let me this time..."

Hinata raised her head and looked directly at her father, Hiashi, with tears in her eyes.

Seeing Hinata's red eyes, Hyuga Hiashi instantly understood what his daughter's brief words were saying.

My heart suddenly softened.

Ever since he put all his focus on training Hanabi, it has been a long time since he saw Hinata holding back her tears.

Hyuga Hiashi slowly squatted down and wiped away the water drops that Hinata couldn't hold back.

He said in a soft tone: "I asked why I haven't seen the little crybaby for a long time. It turns out that he has grown into a big crybaby."

He always frowned, but this time he relaxed his brows and showed a kind smile.

Hinata couldn't hold back her emotions any longer and sobbed as she hugged her father's neck.

The father and daughter hugged each other for a long time, and Hinata finally calmed down.

"Can you tell dad how you won Neji?"

Hinata nodded and wiped the bubbles from her nose.

He narrated the battle and the conversation between the two of them to Hyuga Hiashi.

At the end of the hearing, Hinata used Eight Trigrams Air Palm. Hyuga Hiashi's hands holding Hinata's shoulders were shaking a little.

He asked emotionally: "You mean you've mastered the Eight Trigrams Air Palm?"

"When did you master it? Let me see!"

Hinata nodded.

"Roll your eyes."

She then opened her Byakugan and condensed Chakra in her palms.

He slapped a potted plant in the yard from afar.

Suddenly a huge force rushed out.

The branch hit by the high-strength Chakra block was directly broken into two pieces.

It’s actually the Eight Trigrams Air Palm!

Hyuga Hiashi's eyes widened and he murmured:

"No wonder Neji throws in the towel."

The Gentle Fist of the Hyuga clan is very strong in melee combat and can block the enemy's Chakra through acupuncture and Byakugan.

But once long-distance combat occurs, the advantage will be lost.

Byakugan, who has super long sight range, can only fight in close quarters, just like using an eight-power mirror to fight the enemy with a bayonet.

The Eight Trigrams Air Palm is a taijutsu developed to compensate for the long-distance attack methods of the Hyuga clan.

A method of using one's own chakra to gather in the palm of the hand to shoot Gentle Fist from a distance.

Hyuga Hiashi asked hesitantly: "Are you also self-taught?"

He never remembered that he taught Hinata Eight Trigrams Air Palm, because Hinata didn't even master Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, so how could she teach her the more difficult Eight Trigrams Air Palm.

"No, Father."

Hinata shook her head.

Hearing her answer, Hyuga Hiashi frowned.

"You're not self-taught? Then how do you know this technique?"

A large part of the reason why Hyuga Neji is called the Byakugan Genius is because he learned Eight Trigrams, Sixty-Four Palms and Revolving Heaven by himself. Under the system of the Hyuga clan, branch houses are not qualified to learn this technique. .

This also means that even if he is a branch house, but he has learned these two techniques, the elders of the clan cannot do anything to him.

"It's Feng'an. It's a move that Feng'an taught me when I was practicing."

Hinata thought about it and told Hyuga Hiashi.

"What? Feng An, he knows Eight Trigrams Air Palm?!"

Hyuga Hiashi was shocked.

"It should be possible, but I haven't seen Feng'an use it..."

During her practice, she only listened to Feng An explain the principles to her, but never saw Feng An personally demonstrate how to use it.

Hyuga Hiashi looked thoughtful.

Although Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palms is a secret technique not taught by the Hyuga clan, it is not completely incomprehensible. After all, Neji discovered it himself.

Gentle Fist needs to cooperate with their unique Byakugan to achieve Ultimate.

Feng'an is not from the Hyuga clan. Even if he realizes the Eight Trigrams Air Palm, he will not be able to tap acupuncture points from the air like the Hyuga clan members.

However, Hyuga Hiashi still solemnly warned Hinata:

"Don't let other people know about this. If the elders of the clan ask, just say that I taught you."

Hinata saw her father's solemn expression and nodded in agreement.

Hyuga Hiashi believes that his daughter learned Eight Trigrams Air Palm from Feng An, but what about other tribesmen?

Especially those elders, if they knew it, they would be the first to suspect that Hinata learned it and then taught it to outsiders, and they would definitely punish her for spreading the secret of Hyuga.

"Are you still going to train today?"

Hinata shook her head: "Teacher Hong asked us to rest for a few days."

Hyuga Hiashi nodded.

"That's fine, then you can go and rest."

Hinata said coquettishly: "Well, actually I have an appointment with Feng'an today..."

Hyuga Hiashi raised his eyebrows.

Have you started dating?

Then he said calmly: "Okay, I agree."

"Thank you, Father!"

The corners of Hinata's mouth couldn't stop curling up.

She felt that her father was particularly kind today.

Hyuga Hiashi coughed slightly and said, "I just want to see Feng'an, let's go together."

"ah?"

"ah!!"
