Chapter 265 Neji hears about the Tenseigan for the first time!
It's no wonder Hyuga Neji asked such a question. Anyone in the ninja world today, except for Uchiha Izumi, would probably be dumbfounded after hearing Hyuga Hiashi's words.
After all, in the minds of the ninjas, the ninja world is the entirety of the world.
"Just as you thought, the sky beyond our land is what's known as the Ninja World!"
Since Hiashi Hyuga has decided to tell Neji Hyuga the secret that only the head of the main family knows, there is naturally no need for him to keep it a secret.
"According to the ancient traditions of our Hyuga clan, the Hyuga clan was not originally a ninja clan in the ninja world, but rather originated from the moon!"
"And on the moon, there is another clan that is distantly related to our Hyuga clan!"
"Or rather, we, the Hyuga clan, should be called the Otsutsuki clan!"
"You should still remember Hinata's third birthday, right?"
"Those people from the moon came to see Hinata that day!"
As if he felt his bombshell revelation wasn't shocking enough, Hiashi Hyuga went so far as to tell Neji in detail about how Toneri Otsutsuki had visited Earth when Hinata was three years old.
"They were able to come to the ninja world—"
Hyuga Neji understood Hyuga Hiashi's concerns. If all members of the Hyuga clan were branded with the Caged Bird Seal, then the branch of the clan on the moon would likely have complete control over the life and death of the Hyuga clan!
"It's not just that they can come to the ninja world; the Hyuga clan's Caged Bird Seal was originally developed to guard against them!"
"According to the records of our Hyuga clan, several hundred years ago, that branch of the clan on the moon massacred our Hyuga clan. Only as a last resort did our ancestors develop the Caged Bird Seal."
"That way, even if that branch of the Hyuga clan on the moon wants to slaughter our clan again, the main family can easily activate the Caged Bird Seal, leaving that branch of the clan on the moon with nothing!"
Hiashi Hyuga sneered, "Do you really think the Otsutsuki clan on the moon can create a giant Tenseigan on their own?"
That thing originally belonged to the Hyuga clan, or rather, the vast majority of the components of that giant Tenseigan on the moon came from the Hyuga clan!
"But if they are members of our Hyuga clan, why did they slaughter us?"
Neji was puzzled. Since their Hyuga clan and the branch of the clan on the moon shared the same ancestor, he couldn't think of any reason why the branch of the clan on the moon would target them.
"Because of the eye roll!"
"Or rather, it's for the sake of rolling your eyes even further!"
"The Byakugan of our Hyuga clan is on par with the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan. This isn't just boasting; it's a fact!"
"As you probably know, the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan requires intense emotions to evolve into the Mangekyou Sharingan. So what does the Byakugan need to evolve?"
Since Hiashi Hyuga told Neji the deepest secrets of the Hyuga clan, he naturally hoped that Neji could face his own identity.
At the very least, we must acknowledge that the Hyuga clan has never been inferior to the Uchiha clan!
This was true in the past, it is true now, and it will be true in the future!
"It's pure, incomparably pure!"
Before Neji could figure out the answer, Hiashi Hyuga told him the answer first.
"The Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan requires extreme emotional stimulation, while the Byakugan of our Hyuga clan, if it wants to go further, requires the purest bloodline and the purest Byakugan."
"And among your generation, Hinata's Byakugan is the purest, so pure that the Otsutsuki clan on the moon calls her the Byakugan Princess!"
"In other words, it is possible for Hinata to awaken an eye that is even higher than the Byakugan."
"If Hinata could truly awaken those eyes, the entire ninja world—no, perhaps only the legendary Sage of Six Paths—would possess power comparable to Hinata's!"
"And that's why, even though I know Hinata's personality isn't suitable, I haven't yet branded her with the Caged Bird Seal!"
Hiashi Hyuga slowly opened his mouth. According to the main family inheritance law, even he, as the head of the family, could only leave one offspring as a member of the main family. In the past, he had always used Hanabi's young age as an excuse.
Only Hiashi Hyuga knew what kind of potential Hinata truly possessed.
It's a pity that he's such a rigid father; he doesn't even feed his daughter properly. Otherwise, given Hinata's status as the Byakugan princess chosen by the Otsutsuki clan on the moon, she might actually have awakened the Tenseigan.
Even if it's just a little blue in the eyes, isn't the blue color a sign of awakening towards the Tenseigan?
However, it is also possible that Hiashi Hyuga intentionally suppressed Hinata's appetite. After all, if Hinata really awakens the Tenseigan, what will happen if the Otsutsuki clan on the moon comes to snatch Hinata away?
"Under normal circumstances, the only way for the Byakugan to complete its evolution is through natural awakening."
"But a few hundred years ago, that tribe on the moon, or rather, the Otsutsuki clan, came up with a new idea."
"By collecting a large number of Byakugan, thousands, even tens of thousands, and fusing them all together, it's certain that a higher level of Byakugan can be created!"
"And those eyes are comparable to those of the legendary Sage of Six Paths, possessing the power to dominate the ninja world!"
Hiashi Hyuga had essentially revealed most of the Hyuga clan's secrets to Neji. As for Neji's choice—
"A pair of eyes capable of controlling the power of the ninja world—"
Neji was somewhat dazed. He never expected that the Hyuga clan's Byakugan could continue to evolve. Not only could it continue to evolve, but once it succeeded, it would possess the power to dominate the ninja world.
Did the Otsutsuki clan members on the moon succeed hundreds of years ago?
Neji took a deep breath; he had finally realized why the Hyuga clan was so fixated on the Caged Bird Seal.
Since the Otsutsuki clan from the moon was able to descend upon the ninja world and massacre the Hyuga clan hundreds of years ago, and the Otsutsuki clan also descended when Hinata was three years old.
That means that once the caged bird is released, the distant relatives of the Hyuga clan on the moon are very likely to launch another massacre of the Hyuga clan!
"It was unsuccessful."
"If we had succeeded, there would be no us, and no ninja world as we know it today!"
"The Otsutsuki clan on the moon is responsible for purifying the ninja world. Once the ninja world becomes corrupt, they will use the Tenseigan to cleanse it."
"We both know exactly what the ninja world is like. The fact that the Otsutsuki clan on the moon hasn't launched an attack can't be because they're kind. The only explanation is that their Tenseigan plan hasn't truly succeeded!"
