I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

Hiashi Hyuga was also very dissatisfied with Hinata's reaction.

As the eldest daughter, Hinata appeared weak and frail, and she even lost to Hanabi in their previous battle. This instantly made Hiashi Hyuga lose all interest in nurturing Hinata.

He had always disliked Hinata's personality, and now that she couldn't even beat her own sister, Hiashi Hyuga was even more disappointed in her.

"My dear father..."

Hinata's eyes flashed with a hint of fear. Being spoken to like that by her father, she felt somewhat helpless.

With her hands circling in circles and her face showing anxiety but unable to speak, Hinata only wanted to be taken away by Hiashi Hyuga as soon as possible.

Upon seeing this, the branch family members who were guarding Hinata rushed forward to take her away.

"Hiashi is still your daughter, no matter what. Although I feel it's your family matter and I shouldn't interfere, please don't be so harsh."

Hinata's personality was largely influenced by Hiashi Hyuga.

The pressure of high expectations placed on her during her childhood, coupled with her naturally somewhat unambitious personality, contributed to her downfall.

Bai Ye crouched down, took a candy from his pocket, placed it in front of Hinata, and said, "Want a candy?"

Hinata stared blankly at the candy that Byakuya handed her, her mind involuntarily recalling the first time she met Byakuya, when he had also given her a piece of candy.

That was the first time she had ever received candy. As the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan leader, she had been given high expectations since childhood and had never had anything to play with, not even candy.

All the gifts Hinata received were related to ninja training, which Hinata didn't actually like.

"As the eldest daughter, you were defeated by your own younger sister, Bai Ye, you..."

Hiashi Hyuga opened his mouth, but ultimately swallowed his words.

He felt it might be better not to tell others about his family's dirty laundry.

Besides, he felt he hadn't done anything wrong; Hinata was meant to inherit his position, and he was angry at her for not living up to expectations.

"A person should not be judged by their strength. Hiashi, you have put the cart before the horse. You are first and foremost a father, and only secondly a clan leader. You have failed to properly educate Hinata. Shouldn't you reflect on your own actions?"

Seeing Hinata take the candy from his hand and cautiously observe her father, Byakuya patted her forehead, then stood up and looked at Hyuga Hiashi, giving him a reminder.

Ultimately, as a father and Hinata as a daughter, he didn't even know what his daughter wanted, which is truly a failure.

Hearing Byakuya's words, Hiashi opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say. Could it be that his daughter was being unfilial to her father?

"You don't understand if you don't have a daughter!"

Hiashi Hyuga would never have said those things if it were anyone else.

But after spending time with Bai Ye, you'll find that he's actually very easy to get along with. He's not pretentious at all, and when it's not business, everyone treats each other like friends. There's no sense of pressure from superiors or subordinates.

"See, you can't even speak properly anymore. What do you mean by 'I don't understand because I don't have a daughter'? Didn't you ever have a time when you were a son? Imagine if your parents treated you like this every day, how would you feel?"

"Ah this?!"

Hiashi Hyuga could indeed say that Byakuya, without a daughter, wouldn't understand the significance of his education.

But just as Bai Ye said, he was also a son at one time. If he put himself in his parents' shoes, it would be impossible for him not to have any thoughts if his parents treated him like that.

"That's why I said you're too pragmatic in raising children. Leave Hinata to me from now on, I'll train her properly and give you a different Hinata!"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Byakuya immediately proposed to take Hinata away.

Since Hiashi Hyuga doesn't know how to educate Hinata, he'll just give Hinata to himself and then he'll give her a different Hinata in return.

"Okay. No!? Wait!! Have you been eyeing Hinata for a while now?"

Hiashi Hyuga almost agreed on the spot, but then realized that Byakuya might have already set his sights on Hinata.

no? !

what do you mean?

Based on my understanding of Bai Ye, he definitely didn't think of this as it is now. All that groundwork he laid beforehand was for this very reason.

"What do you mean I'm after Hinata? It's just that I think you're not good at teaching her. Besides, since you've already given up, why don't you give me a try? Maybe I can unlock Hinata's potential."

Byakuya's words were not without reason. Hyuga Hiashi was just a little surprised that Byakuya actually wanted to kidnap Hinata.

But after listening to Byakuya's words, he suddenly realized that handing Hinata over to Byakuya seemed to be the best choice.

"You want to take Hinata as your disciple?!"

Hiashi Hyuga's eyes lit up. If Byakuya could take Hinata as his disciple, then he could entrust Hinata to him with peace of mind.

Who is the most powerful person right now?

Isn't that Baiye?!

Moreover, for Hiashi Hyuga, there was another point of contention: the matter of the branch family versus the main family.

One of his two daughters will appear in the division of the family, which is something that Hyuga Hiashi has always wanted to change.

He and his younger brother Hyuga Hizashi were in the same situation. When Byakuya proposed to change the internal problems of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hiashi was tempted, but he also knew that he couldn't change anything with his own ideas.

The conservative faction within the Hyuga clan was truly terrifying, which is why he had been hesitant.

But if Hinata is sent to Byakuya's command, and then Hanabi, who has better talent, inherits her position, wouldn't that perfectly solve the problem of not needing to carve the Caged Bird Seal on either of her daughters?

Back then, these old fogies didn't say a word when Byakuya brought Neji to undo the Caged Bird Seal; they simply undoed it for Neji.

He saw it clearly: Byakuya's strength had surpassed that of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama. His policies favored Senju Hashirama, but his personality was similar to Uchiha Madara. If he really refused, the Hyuga clan would probably feel the pressure from Byakuya.

Therefore, under Byakuya's protection, Hinata will certainly not be asked to carve the Caged Bird Seal again.

"A disciple's opinion is also acceptable."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Ye agreed, since the ninja academy had nothing left to teach them.

Besides, things are different now than in the anime. The ninja world is about to undergo a transformation, and I need to start teaching them as soon as possible, not to mention the enemies that will appear in Boruto.

Bai Ye still needs to cultivate some loyal followers.

Although I probably won't do the Uchiha slam again.

However, Hiashi's suggestion that he take Hinata as his disciple was probably due to considerations regarding the main family and the branch family.

But for Bai Ye, this would have to be abolished sooner or later.

It can only be said that Hiashi Hyuga's worries were somewhat unnecessary.

However, Bai Ye could understand. Logically speaking, if Hinata hadn't married Naruto in the end, and Naruto had been extremely popular at that time, as the savior of the ninja world, the Hyuga clan wouldn't have been able to harm Hinata.

Otherwise, one of Hinata and Hanabi would definitely be the one to split up the family.

Ultimately, the system of having both main and branch families is too ugly. Bai Ye never expected that it would still exist even in Boruto.

"Alright, then Hinata, you won't be going to the Ninja Academy anymore. You can study with Byakuya instead!"

When Hyuga Hiashi heard Byakuya agree, a look of joy flashed across his face, but he quickly composed himself.

Then he immediately looked at Hinata and urged her to become his apprentice.

Hinata was somewhat bewildered.

One second, his father was angry at him for his lack of ambition, and the next second, he wanted him to become Bai Ye's apprentice.

Although she is not competitive or aggressive, it doesn't mean she's stupid. What does it mean that she has become Bai Ye's apprentice in this situation?

Of the six disciples of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, aside from Kagami Uchiha who died in battle, one became the Third Hokage, one became the Hokage's assistant, and two became Hokage advisors.

Moreover, Bai Ye is the strongest in the world. To become Bai Ye's disciple is probably something the entire Ninja Kingdom would want, right?

"Hinata?"

Hiashi Hyuga called out softly, pulling her thoughts back.

When Hinata came to her senses, the first thing she thought of wasn't to immediately become an apprentice, but rather to ask with some doubt, "Can I really do it?"

She was actually a little worried about whether she could really become an apprentice.

Just like what Hiashi Hyuga once said, he would lose to his sister. With his own strength, he was not qualified to become Byakuya's disciple at all.

Hearing his discouraging words, Hiashi Hyuga's previously good mood instantly soured.

What is this nonsense? !

Are you going to give up now?

This woman is truly worthless!

Previously, Hiashi Hyuga had been wondering if Hinata's current personality was shaped by his own high-pressure state, perhaps just as Byakuya had said.

So, on one hand, he wanted Byakuya to protect Hinata, and on the other hand, he wanted to see if Hinata could change under Byakuya's guidance.

But with this opportunity right in front of her, she actually began to doubt whether she could succeed.

At that moment, he felt as if he was right again.

"If I think it's okay, then it's okay. I don't care what you think, I only care what I think."

Yep.

After saying those words, Bai Ye felt he had been too domineering and almost killed himself with arrogance. Fine, Bai Ye decided to seal those words away completely.

Since we have Hinata now, we might as well bring the others along as well.

Bai Ye rubbed his chin and immediately decided to lure all twelve of the Bronze Saints over.

"Then I wish to cultivate under Lord Baiye!"

Hinata looked at Byakuya without any hesitation and said with unwavering determination.

She wanted to cultivate with Bai Ye.

Hinata also wanted her father to change his opinion of her, and she knew what had caused this situation.

After losing to Hanabi, who was not good at Gentle Fist, her status as the clan's heir was questioned, and her own father was also disappointed.

Deep down, she also longed to leave the Hyuga clan temporarily. Hinata only felt oppressed in the Hyuga clan, but she felt very peaceful by Byakuya's side.

"I'm entrusting Hinata to you!"

After handing Hinata over to Byakuya, Hiashi Hyuga felt a pang of reluctance.
