Hokage: Start By Prying Hinata Away

"What you said is not completely unreasonable, but -"

The great elder's gentle tone paused for a moment, then changed the topic and became full of coercion.

"I believe that Chief Hiashi is sincerely considering the future of the Hyuga clan, so he has given careful consideration."

After hearing the words of the great elder, everyone in the branch house looked unhappy.

At this moment, the second elder on the side said: "Since the patriarch said that both daughters are excellent, why not let the two daughters compete?"

The great elder agreed: "It's feasible, just listen to the second brother."

The person in the branch house thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Sorry, Second Elder, only the eldest daughter is here today. The younger daughter is not feeling well and is recuperating at home today, so let's choose another day."

Hyuga Hiashi has long thought that something like this might happen, so he usually brings Hanabi to brush his face in front of everyone, but today he brought Hinata.

Although the Hyuga tribesmen present had doubts about the authenticity of Hyuga Hiashi's words, they did not dare to express them.

Only the great elder said solemnly: "Then let Hinata show off her abilities first."

"Neji, come on. I heard that you used to compete with each other."

Hyuga has long heard that Hyūga Hinata has not even mastered Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms. Can such a person be called excellent?

As long as Hinata is defeated in the family meeting, Hyuga Hiashi will no longer have any excuses.

Thinking of this, the great elder hurriedly turned his face sideways, because one side of his mouth Kakuzu was almost raised to the height of his nose, while the other corner of his mouth was still tightly pressed, so he had to turn his face sideways to show others.

'Huh, stubborn old man, you won't laugh until Hinata hits Eight Trigrams Air Palm. ’

Hyuga Hiashi looked at the uneasy Hinata and said: "Since the great elder has said so, Hinata will show the great elder the results of your cultivation."

Hyūga Hinata raised her eyes and saw her father's expectant eyes, and her heart fluctuated a little. She had not seen her father's expectant eyes appear on her for a long time.

"Okay, father, I will do my best."

Hyuga Neji said to the great elder: "Neji obeys the order."

Then he looked at Hyūga Hinata and clenched his fists.

I lost to you unexpectedly last time, but I won’t do it this time!

"Okay, okay, let's go to the usual training ground to compete. Neji, be careful not to hurt Hinata."

Hyuga Neji nodded respectfully: "Copy that."

Hearing the words of the great elder, Hinata's heart beat faster. Although she defeated Neji in the preliminaries, she still didn't have much confidence.

Especially since he has never won in previous competitions, and now he has to show off his abilities in front of his tribe.

‘Old stubborn, do you want to suppress my daughter’s self-confidence before we even start? ’

Hyuga Hiashi held Hinata's little hand: "Don't be nervous. You have defeated Neji before. As long as you believe in yourself, you can do it."

"Um."

Hinata nodded heavily, showing a serious look.

I want to win, but I can't lose my father's face, and I can't live up to my father's expectations.

…………

Not long after, everyone from the Hyuga clan arrived at Hyuga's largest private training venue.

Large families like the Uchiha clan, Hyuga clan and Sarutobi clan usually have their own private training grounds.

They are generally taught by elites in the family, and the conditions and knowledge are no worse than those of ninja schools.

After everyone arrived, Hyūga Hinata and Hyuga Neji were already at the center of the training ground.

"That's it for the discussion, let's get started."

The great elder specifically nodded at Hyuga Neji. As the great elder, he knew that Neji was full of resentment for the death of his father, Hizashi, and was somewhat hostile to the people of the clan.

Following his order.

"Roll your eyes."

Hyūga Hinata and Hyuga Neji opened their eyes at the same time, and lines on their eyes appeared.

Neji took the lead and knew during the qualifying round that Hinata had mastered the Eight Trigrams Air Palm and he had to shorten the distance as soon as possible.

"Gentle Fist Law, Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"

Hyuga Neji uses himself as the midpoint, and there seems to be a Tai Chi Eight Trigrams diagram under his feet. Every step is traceable, but it is difficult to deal with.

In an instant, he approached Hinata and struck sixteen palms, extremely fast!

hiss!

The people of the Zong family took a breath of cold air.

"I've heard about the white-eyed genius Hyuga Neji for a long time, but I didn't expect that he actually mastered Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms."

"That's a physical skill that only our clan can master. It's incredible that he can learn it by himself."

"Genius, I heard that Hinata-sama has never defeated Neji, and has not yet mastered Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms..."

On the other side of the branch house, after seeing Hyuga Neji's ability, some people's faces were filled with pride, and some people's faces were filled with unwillingness.

One of the branch house tribesmen who admired Hyuga Neji very much said angrily:

"No matter how talented Neji is, so what? As a branch house, not only is his Byakugan ability suppressed, he can only be used as a scapegoat!"

"snort!"

A muffled sound sounded.

The Caged Bird mark on the forehead of the branch house member who just spoke immediately broke out, and he fell to the ground rolling around wildly, wailing in pain.

"Ahhh!"

"I was wrong! Great Elder!"

When the rest of the branch house heard his miserable screams, they all turned their heads and couldn't bear to look.

"Forget it, forget it, he didn't mean to do it." The second elder on the side persuaded him easily.

Then the Great Elder stopped controlling Caged Bird.

The great elder said sternly: "Hmph! Our Hyuga clan has always had such a system, similar to complaints, I don't want to hear it from anyone again!

If I had become a branch house back then, I would have been equally willing to go through fire and water for the clan! "

The words of the great elder made the clan members present become speechless.

The people in the branch house pinned their resentment on Hyuga Neji.

Because of things off the field, it also affected Hinata and Neji.

Hinata was a little distracted, and Neji became even more angry when he heard the tribesman's hiss of pain.

The speed and strength of the hands increased one after another!

"Thirty-two palms!"

"Sixty-four palms!"

Neji's attacks rained down.

Hinata's Byakugan can catch it, but her own speed is still difficult to keep up. After receiving Hyuga Neji's Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, several acupuncture points on her body have been sealed.

‘Brother Neji is indeed very strong...you can’t fight him in close combat. ’

Hyūga Hinata's breathing was a little ragged.

‘Qi, have you become stronger too? ’

Hyuga Neji rushed forward again with a cold face. If it didn't work once, he would use it twice.

‘Neji teach her a lesson! ’

Everyone in the branch house looked at Hyuga Neji expectantly, as if every slap on Hinata was a slap on the Zong family's face.

"Hiashi, tell your daughter to admit defeat."

The great elder on the side said calmly with his hands behind his back.

Under his eye-rolling observation, Hinata has become weak.

After receiving Hyuga Neji's attack, he will definitely fail miserably, so it is better to settle down decently.

Hyuga Hiashi said calmly: "Thank you, Great Elder, for your concern. I know my daughter best."

The great elder looked unhappy and frowned.

Just when Hyuga Neji rushed forward, Hinata's heart was as calm as water, and her hand gesture changed instantly.
