46: Chapter 46 Hyuga Clan TerritoryUpon arriving at the reception room, Hinata said to the person inside, "Father, Naruto-kun has arrived."
A strong, resonant voice came from inside, "Understood, Hinata.Go and take care of Hanabi.She misses you.Let me and Naruto talk alone.Please come in, Naruto."
Hinata nodded slightly after hearing Hiashi Hyuga's words and said to Naruto, "Well then, Naruto-kun, I'll go take care of my sister Hanabi first.You and my father have a good talk.He may seem serious, but he's actually a very nice person."
Naruto smiled and said to Hinata, "Don't worry, Hinata, I will get along well with your father."
After Hinata left, Naruto slowly pushed open the door.
A middle-aged man was sitting in the reception room, where the table was already set with food and drinks.
As soon as Naruto walked in, Hiashi Hyuga looked him up and down and pointed to the seat opposite him.
"Please sit down, Naruto."
Naruto sat down where Hiashi Hyuga was pointing.
I was thinking to myself, "Old Deng, I'm here.Can I park my Nine Lamas in front of your house?"
"Head of the Hyuga clan, hello.I am Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto greeted Hiashi Hyuga politely.Putting everything else aside, his identity as Hinata's father was already very important.
Hiashi Hyuga smiled as he looked at Naruto.Considering his earlier observation, he had to admit that Naruto's appearance was indeed quite good.Although he was only six years old, it was clear that he would grow up to be a handsome young man.
He's handsome, and seems to be quite good in other aspects as well.
The clan ninjas who were previously responsible for protecting Hinata would frequently report to him on Naruto's situation.
Therefore, he had already heard about Naruto's various performances at the Ninja Academy, and judging from his usual behavior, Hiashi Hyuga was quite satisfied with Naruto.
At the same time, Hiashi knew that Hinata's changes during this period were inseparable from Naruto's influence.In the past three months of training with Naruto, Hinata's mentality and will had improved considerably.Even Hiashi Hyuga, who was quite strict, acknowledged Hinata's efforts in training.
All of this can be attributed to Naruto's subtle influence.
"Naruto, I heard that you took good care of Hinata at the academy, and I'm truly grateful.Hinata's progress makes me very happy; she has become stronger, and she's no longer as weak as before.She now has quite the presence of a ninja," Hiashi Hyuga said sincerely.
"I believe that if things continue like this, Hinata will definitely be able to become a qualified successor of the main family and lead our Hyuga clan to glory."
It's clear that Hinata's transformation after being influenced by Naruto is quite significant, even earning the approval of Hiashi Hyuga.
It's worth noting that in the original story, Hinata was ultimately abandoned by Hiashi Hyuga because she didn't demonstrate strong talent, and Hiashi turned to train Hinata's younger sister, Hanabi Hyuga.
This is what happens when a main account is completely ruined; you have to switch to a smaller account to level it up.
So it's clear that Hinata has really improved.
Naruto smiled slightly and said, "Head of the Hyuga clan, there's something wrong with what you're saying.Hinata has always been a very hardworking person.She wasn't weak; she was just too gentle with everyone.I didn't do anything special.I just stayed by her side and helped her understand what the right thing to do is."
"Even if I didn't show up, I believe she would become an excellent ninja.After all, you understand Hinata's true nature better than I do."
Hiashi nodded, indicating his agreement with Naruto's words.
Then, changing the subject, Hiashi Hyuga first showed a nostalgic look, recalling certain things from the past, and then said, "Naruto, I heard that you protected Hinata when you were a child, and stood up for her when she was being mocked by other children.I have always remembered this, and I am very grateful to you."
This was genuine; it really was an accident.Hinata ran outside alone without any ninja protection or escort and was surrounded and mocked by a group of children.
They said Hinata should open her Byakugan to show them, since Hinata isn't from the Hyuga clan.If she is, then let's see if Hinata opens her Byakugan to show them!
These ignorant children have no idea that the Byakugan is not something that can be activated casually or at will within the Hyuga clan.
Like the Uchiha clan, the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan symbolizes the strength of one's talent.
The stronger the talent, the earlier it will awaken.
There is a misconception here.As Hiashi Hyuga stated in "Boruto," the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is not something they are born with; they need to undergo a great deal of arduous training to awaken it.
However, there are exceptions, which are influenced by bloodline.
For example, Himawari can activate her Byakugan under mental stimulation, and the way Himawari opens her eye is similar to that of the Sharingan.
Later on, Sunflower can actively control the whites of her eyes.
The Otsutsuki clan is born with the Byakugan, unlike the Hyuga clan which requires extensive training to awaken it.Their ocular power is even greater than that of the Hyuga clan.
Therefore, in the original work, although it is mentioned that the Hyuga clan members all possess the Byakugan ability!
Byakugan is an ability; members of the Hyuga clan are born with white eyes, but white eyes do not necessarily mean Byakugan!
The ability to roll one's eyes needs to be trained to be activated!
Even Neji, who is now considered a genius, does not yet have the ability to activate the Byakugan.
The earliest recorded instance of a Hyuga clan member awakening their Byakugan is that of a ninja from the Sengoku period.He awakened his Byakugan ability at the age of eight, which was already quite impressive.He later became the strongest member of the Hyuga clan at that time.
They've made quite a name for themselves.
Hinata, who wasn't being secretly protected by any ninjas at the time, and being rather introverted, was so anxious that she couldn't speak at all, which is why.Those kids became even more aggressive, thinking Hinata was easy to bully, especially since she came from a large family, and they felt incredibly powerful.
Just as Hinata was being bullied, Naruto, who had nothing to do at home, saw this situation.Naruto, who was bursting with a sense of justice, naturally did not choose to stand idly by.He stood up and questioned the group of children about what they were doing.
At that time, Naruto had not yet been reborn and was acting entirely according to his original will.
However, if I had been reborn into this world at that time, I would have made the same decision as the original Naruto.
However, Naruto didn't have much strength at that time.He had been hungry and cold for many years, which made him very weak as a child.Although he had the blood of the Uzumaki clan, he couldn't even beat a few other children.With their advantage of numbers, young Naruto was defeated one after another.
Although he was severely punished in the end, he still managed to protect Hinata from any harm.
When the Hyuga clan ninjas discovered that Hinata was missing, they rushed out to search for her and finally found Hinata safe and sound, along with Naruto Uzumaki, who had been severely punished.
It was from that time that Hinata began to become a little stronger and insisted on taking Naruto back for treatment.
The Hyuga clan ninjas also recognized Naruto as the ominous person rumored in the village to possibly possess the identity of a demon fox.
So it was a bit of a dilemma.It was also the first time Hinata, in her capacity as the head of the Hyuga clan, had asked the two Hyuga ninjas to take Naruto back for treatment.
So when Hiashi Hyuga saw that Hinata had gone missing, he was initially very anxious, but when he saw that Naruto Uzumaki had been brought back, he was even more dumbfounded.
My dear daughter, what a terrible disaster you have brought back to your father!
After hearing about Naruto's desperate efforts to protect his daughter, Hiashi Hyuga's eyes softened, and he gave orders to make sure Naruto's injuries were healed.
Hiashi Hyuga was no ignorant villager; as the head of a major clan in Konoha, he naturally knew Naruto's true identity.
That's why Hiashi Hyuga knew that this was going to be a difficult situation.
Activating his Byakugan, he saw several ANBU ninjas lurking around his house.
Hiashi Hyuga also knew that these ninjas were secretly protecting Naruto.
They usually turn a blind eye to minor squabbles between children.
However, if anything were to truly endanger Naruto's life, they would still intervene promptly to stop it.
Hiashi Hyuga waved to the hidden ANBU members, who knew their disguises were useless against the Byakugan.
One of the leaders of the secret agents emerged from the shadows.
Hiashi Hyuga said to the ANBU member, "I know Naruto has been under your surveillance, and you must have sent someone to report to the Hokage about our Hyuga clan's contact with Naruto."
"I hope you can tell the Hokage that our Hyuga clan did not intend to contact Naruto.It was only because Naruto protected the daughter of our Hyuga clan's main family that we had no choice but to bring Naruto back for treatment at my daughter's insistence.I hope you can report this truthfully."
The leading ANBU ninja nodded, while the other ANBU ninjas continued to monitor the Hyuga clan.
After the ANBU ninjas left, the Hyuga clan instructed their members to take good care of Naruto's injuries and to prevent any accidents from happening to him on Hyuga clan territory.
The leader of the ANBU ninjas headed towards the Hokage's office to report on Hiashi Hyuga's whereabouts.
At this moment, the ANBU ninja who had taken a step forward had arrived at the Hokage's office.Upon seeing him, Hiruzen Sarutobi asked him to report on the situation.
"Lord Hokage, we have discovered that Hyuga clan ninjas are in contact with Naruto Uzumaki, so we came to report to you immediately.What are your instructions?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately slammed his hand on the table and said, "What?The Hyuga clan actually dares to contact Naruto?Don't they know Naruto is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?If they provoke them, can the Hyuga clan afford to take the consequences?"
"Hiruzen, I heard that the Hyuga clan is in contact with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.It seems that the Hyuga clan has the idea of rebellion.They actually dare to contact the Jinchuriki.This is something they must never touch."
At that moment, the door to the Hokage's office was flung open with a bang, and the person who entered was Shimura Danzo, Hiruzen Sarutobi's best friend.
"You've arrived, Danzo.Your intelligence network is quite extensive.It seems the Root ninjas have been secretly tracking and monitoring Naruto quite a bit!"
Upon seeing Danzo arrive, Hiruzen Sarutobi promptly returned to his seat.
Danzo sat in the chair opposite Hiruzen Sarutobi and said, "Hiruzen, I have always felt that after the Uchiha clan was suppressed, the Hyuga clan has been secretly developing its own power, hoping to make a fortune in silence.I think this contact with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was also secretly planned by them, just to secretly control the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
Danzo truly lives up to his reputation as a master of blatant lying, pinning all the things he wanted to do to Naruto on others.So the Hyuga clan is your scapegoat?No wonder he's known as Danzo the Scapegoat; he lives up to his name.
Upon hearing Danzo's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who always liked to oppose Danzo, suddenly came to his senses.Indeed, wasn't it Danzo who wanted to approach Naruto and secretly brainwash and manipulate him?The Hyuga clan didn't have that kind of courage or strength.
"Danzo, I think there must be something going on here!" When Hiruzen Sarutobi encounters Danzo Shimura, he experiences a sudden buff of clarity.Anything Danzo wants is bound to be bad.
"Hiruzen, what time is it?You're still hiding something here.I think we should have my Root members surround the Hyuga clan first, and then force them to hand over the nine.""The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and then my 'Root' will take good care of Naruto.I promise you, I will definitely take good care of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
