Chapter 269 I Will Do Better Than You
"boom!"

The two arms collided and wrestled with each other, just like two naughty boys arm wrestling.

It was hard to imagine that this was a battle to determine who would become the leader of a clan.

Hinata Hiashi felt the strength coming from his arm and nodded slightly as if in approval, then shook his head as if in denial.

"Hinata, you are already stronger than me. From today on, you will become the head of the Hyuga clan."

A trace of surprise flashed across Hyuga Hinata's face, and the strength in her hands weakened a bit: "Father, are you... admitting defeat?"

"I'm just stating the facts." Hinata Hiashi's voice was calm. He changed his moves with his hands and stabbed her in the face at an extremely tricky angle.

Hinata Hyuga took her time, stretched out her hand to block the attack, then twisted her wrist and pressed a point on Hiashi's forearm.

"What a fast speed!" Rizu exclaimed, and attacked again regardless of the injury on his hand.

One, two, three... His movements became slower and slower, and the meridians through which chakra could flow became fewer and fewer.

But his attack did not stop, as if he was fighting a life-and-death battle. As long as he was alive, he would never give up attacking.

Hinata began to panic, as the number of "safe" acupoints was decreasing. If all the acupoints were pressed and Hiashi still did not intend to stop, then even the slightest touch to the remaining acupoints could be fatal.

On the contrary, Rizu, who was at a disadvantage, breathed steadily and tried his best to exert his full strength in his movements.

"Shh!"

His palm cut through the air, making a sound of breaking air.

Hiashi retracted his hand and looked at Hinata, his face showing dissatisfaction: "What are you hiding from?"

"I...is there any problem with dodging during a battle?" Hinata paused, then found a suitable reason to defend herself.

Hinata Hiashi's eyes were fixed on him. Those eyes that could only see through the material world seemed to be able to see through the soul at this moment: "Are you being soft-hearted?"

After a brief pause, his voice suddenly rose several degrees, as if he was a little bit unbelievable.

"You are still soft-hearted even at this time?!"

Hinata Hyuga didn't say anything, but sometimes, silence is the best answer.

Hyuga Hiashi took a deep breath, as if it was a sign before a storm: "Hyuga Hinata! I thought you were ready, but I didn't expect that your essence is no different from the cowardly, timid Hinata who only wanted to escape!"

"No!!!" Hyuga Hinata suddenly raised her head, and a terrifying chakra shock burst out from her body, blowing Hyuga Hiashi away and hitting the bookshelf next to her.

The next second, she burst out with all her strength and instantly came in front of Rizu. She stretched out her hand, and a piece of jade-white bone pierced out, piercing through Rizu's shoulder blade and nailing him to the wall.

"Father! To be the head of the Hyuga clan, do I have to be tough and cruel?" There were tears in the corners of her eyes, which sparkled with a different kind of light under the sunlight coming in through the window.

Hyuga Hiashi hopes that she will become an excellent clan leader and shoulder the responsibility of continuing and prospering the Hyuga clan.

Hyuga Neji hopes that she can become the clan leader, correct the mistake of being a bird in a cage, and liberate all the branches of the clan.

Tsunade hopes that she can become the clan leader, use the characteristics of the Hyuga clan, and destroy the old trinity of ninja village, ninja, and daimyo after unifying the ninja world in the Land of Fire.

Only Hyuga Kiyomi never said that he hoped that she would achieve his personal goals after becoming the clan leader. It was as if the birth of Hyuga Hinata was to become what others expected her to be. This was a seed that had long been buried in her heart. It was not until Hiashi's words just now that this seed took root and sprouted, breaking through the seal in her heart.

An emotion called "rebellion" occupied Hinata Hyuga's heart at this moment.

Why should I do what you think?
"You always self-righteously want to turn me into a 'qualified clan leader' in your eyes, and use the so-called 'qualification' to control my life. Father... No, Hinata Hiashi, my 'qualification' does not need your affirmation, nor does it require the affirmation of anyone else!"

"Cough cough!" Hinata Hiashi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and reached out to pull out the bone from his shoulder.

He looked up at his daughter with an extremely complicated expression. It was hard to tell whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied, maybe both.

"Hinata, you win. But... the bird in the cage must not be abolished. It is used to protect the tribe..."

"Shut up!" Hinata let out a suppressed growl from her throat, "If the caged bird is to protect the tribe members, then why are the tribe members divided into the main family and the branch family? The real protection should be to carve the caged bird on everyone!"

Hiashi closed his eyes and shook his head: "You don't understand."

Seeing his expression, a surge of anger rushed into her heart. Hinata reached out and grabbed his collar: "I don't understand? I already know enough. I have seen other families in Konoha, and have been to the Sand Village and the Mist Village. Not one, no family is the same as the Hyuga Clan!"

Hinata Hiashi swallowed the blood in his mouth and sighed softly: "The bird in the cage not only prevents outsiders from peeping, but also... our own."

Hinata was stunned for a moment, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes: "What do you mean?"

"Hinata, as a clan leader, it is necessary to be ruthless. Maybe... I did go too far, but it is better than a clan leader who is indecisive and always thinking about giving in."

If possible, Hyuga Hiashi also wanted to be an ordinary person, get along well with his children, and create a warm and happy family. However, after Hizashi's death, he made a choice in his heart and determined that the continuation of the Hyuga clan was the most important thing, surpassing everything else.

Retracting his thoughts, he suppressed his emotions and looked at his daughter: "You have more power than me. No matter what you want to do, I have no ability to stop you, including abolishing the caged bird."

"But before that, I hope you can listen to a story I tell you, a story about a bird in a cage, about the Byakugan, and about the origin of the Hyuga clan."

"It is a secret that must not be known to the tribe members."

……

……

"When enough Byakugan gather together, an ultimate weapon capable of destroying everything will be born." Hyuga Hinata released her hands that were grasping Hiashi's collar, and murmured with a complicated expression, "If I understand correctly, is this true?"

"Ahem!" Hiashi pressed the wound on his shoulder with his right hand, leaned against the wall and sat on the ground, nodding slightly, "Such a weapon is extremely terrifying. There is almost no threshold. Any Hyuga member can use it, and the result of abuse is destruction."

"Once the caged bird disappears, the ninja world will either be destroyed by the Hyuga clan, or the Hyuga clan will be destroyed by the greed of others."

However, Hyuga Hinata did not show the reaction he expected. Instead, she laughed and said, "You are just scaremongering."

Rizu couldn't help but frowned: "You don't think I'm lying to you?"

"Of course not..." Hinata shook her head, turned and walked to the door, lowered her head slightly and looked back.

“It’s just that I’m confident enough.”
