The Hyuga Clan Estate in the early morning was so quiet that even the slightest sounds from within could be heard.
Whenever a member of the Hyuga clan emerged from their room, they couldn't help but cast a glance towards the Hyuga Clan Head's residence.
Haa! Haa! Haa!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The delicate yet firm shouts of a young girl, along with the rapid and powerful thuds of striking wood, echoed from the Clan Head's residence.
Lady Hinata is different now.
All the Hyuga clan members could feel that Hinata's aura when practicing the Gentle Fist was vastly different from before. She had shed some of her past weakness and gained a bit of unwavering sharpness, making her seem more like the main family's young lady.
Moreover, many Hyuga clan members had already learned that Lady Hinata had awakened her Byakugan. Although the Hyuga's Byakugan wasn't like the Uchiha's Sharingan, as long as one was old enough and had enough Chakra, they would definitely awaken it. However, awakening it before the age of six was still enough to prove Lady Hinata's talent.
But few people knew what exactly happened yesterday, what exactly changed Lady Hinata's personality so drastically, and what exactly allowed Lady Hinata to awaken her Byakugan.
They only knew that yesterday, a branch family guard was punished by the Clan Head with the Caged Bird seal after a long time.
Inside the Clan Head's residence, in the spacious courtyard, wood shavings flew everywhere.
The wooden stakes that were originally standing upright were now leaning in disarray, covered with dense palm prints. The originally flat and tidy lawn had long been trampled by Hinata, leaving one footprint after another.
Little Hinata was currently wearing loose black training clothes, her small face tense, her hands enveloped in Chakra, striking the wooden stakes in front of her one palm after another.
Her Gentle Fist contained a sense of frustration, and it was this feeling of annoyance that added a bit of ruthlessness to her palm strikes. Hinata's training was also a way to vent her emotions.
Even though a day had passed and she had learned that Naruto was safe and sound, the image of Naruto's face covered in blood still appeared in her mind.
This wasn't an emotion based on feelings like love. Hinata was only a little over five years old, and she didn't even have the concept of the opposite sex in her heart.
She had developed a longing for Naruto in her heart, so she began to hate her own weakness.
Just like Naruto had said, she clearly had the ability to solve those troubles on her own, but because of her weakness, she didn't dare to use her power, thinking that as long as she endured it alone, it would be fine. But as a result, Naruto, who had helped her, was hurt because of it.
She didn't want to hurt others, even if they were bad people, she didn't dare to use her power. But it was this weak personality that made the bad people become more and more aggressive, and caused those who wanted to help her to suffer.
If she had been braver at the time and driven away those bad people herself, Naruto wouldn't have been hurt because of her weakness.
She wanted to change herself, and then tell Naruto that she was different now, and that she wanted to become true friends with him.
"Hinata, take a break."
A gentle voice sounded. Under the eaves, a beautiful woman was holding a one-year-old girl.
She had a pair of lovely almond eyes like Hinata's, revealing the same gentleness and innocence as Hinata. Her facial features were similar to Hinata's, and she possessed a Yamato Nadeshiko-like tenderness, but her skin was somewhat sickly pale.
It was Hinata's mother, Hyuga Keiko.
However, Keiko's beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she looked at her daughter, who was constantly practicing the Gentle Fist, with a worried expression. The Hyuga Hanabi in her arms was also "goo goo ga ga" calling out to Hinata, seemingly wondering why her older sister wasn't playing with her this morning.
Hearing this, Hinata stopped her movements and gave her mother and younger sister a smile.
"It's okay, Mom, I'll practice for a little longer."
After Hinata finished speaking, she began to torment the wooden stakes in front of her again.
"This…"
Keiko looked at her daughter with pity, and couldn't help but feel a little resentment towards a certain Little Blondie, but seeing her daughter's extremely serious expression, Keiko could only shake her head helplessly.
"Then I'll have Natsu prepare breakfast first. Does Little Hinata have any requests?"
Hinata's waving motion paused slightly, and a hint of hesitation appeared on her face, followed by a blush, as if she wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to.
Keiko looked at her daughter expectantly.
"Mom, can, can you ask Natsu-neechan to prepare three... two servings of breakfast?"
Despite having made up her mind to change, Hinata was still a little shy and lowered her head.
Keiko smiled, although her personality had changed a lot, thankfully her daughter was still as cute as before, and said, "I understand, Little Hinata, I'll have Natsu prepare three servings of breakfast."
"Th-th-three servings is too much..."
Hinata's eyes turned into circles on the spot, she seemed to have been regarded as a glutton, although she could indeed eat that much, she was still too shy.
Hinata wanted to explain to her mother, but found that Keiko had already disappeared to arrange breakfast.
In the end, Hinata had no choice but to continue practicing Gentle Fist.
...
When Hyuga Hiashi returned from outside, he looked somewhat tired.
He was suddenly awakened in the middle of the night by the Third Hokage's Anbu and attended a meeting all night, which was even more tiring than fighting enemies all night. He had to maintain his proper posture at all times and pay attention to his words and deeds, lest he say the wrong thing and affect his position.
After all, the heads of all the major families in the village had gone, and even many civilian Jonin had also attended the meeting, which was almost the scale of the meeting during the Nine Tails' chaos last time.

After learning the reason for the meeting, Hyuga Hiashi's face also darkened. The ability to seize other people's Bloodline Limit might not matter much to civilian Ninja, but for Bloodline Limit families like them, they had to pay attention to it.
Fortunately, the target this time was Uchiha Shisui. The name "Shisui of the Body Flicker" was not obtained out of thin air, but was earned by Uchiha Shisui on the battlefield.
As early as on the battlefield, Uchiha Shisui already had the strength of an elite Jonin. Now that so many years have passed, his frontal strength is probably enough to rival ordinary Kage-level experts.
But even so, Uchiha Shisui still failed to defeat the opponent.
Thinking of this, Hyuga Hiashi's expression couldn't help but become more solemn. Although the Hyuga's Byakugan was not as powerful as the Sharingan, its attractiveness was also not small.
Konoha's Bloodline Limit was actually targeted by such a terrifying guy?
Sure enough, after the Third Shinobi World War, the village had begun to decline.
Hyuga Hiashi's heart was extremely melancholy, but his face still maintained its majesty. He was the Hyuga Clan Head, and he couldn't lose face.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Hyuga Hiashi had not yet entered his own mansion when he heard the sound of pounding wooden stakes from afar. His eyes widened slightly, and his pace quickened.
Walking into his own courtyard, he saw Hinata's small figure waving her palms non-stop, her movements were not as soft as before, but had a bit more of a fierce edge.
The Hyuga family's Gentle Fist was not only gentle. Although it was not as powerful as Strong Fist, its sharpness in a small space was not inferior to Strong Fist. The attack must be swift and ruthless in order to seize the opportunity in battle and inject Chakra into the enemy's Tenketsu.
Hinata's Gentle Fist in the past was always timid, hesitant to attack, and lacked sharpness. She didn't even dare to attack weaknesses during sparring. How could such a soulless Gentle Fist lead the Hyuga clan?
Looking at Hinata's change, a hint of gratification appeared in Hyuga Hiashi's eyes, but he quickly thought of the reason for Hinata's change in personality. When he heard the news yesterday that his daughter had beaten someone into the Hospital, he thought it was fake news. Later, when he heard that it was because of a Blondie, his face turned green.
Just like now.
Hiashi walked into the courtyard with a sullen face. Hinata, who was still training inside, immediately noticed him. She quickly stopped her movements, looked at his gloomy face, and lowered her head again.
Facing her father, whom she had feared since childhood, the courage she had finally mustered temporarily returned to her past weak state, and she stammered, "Father, welcome home."
Hyuga Hiashi's mouth couldn't help but twitch, a breath stuck in his heart, unable to be released.
"Go eat first."
