"The clan leader said this... but the great elder said before that the clan leader would announce the successor today..."

"The clan leader and the great elder do not agree on the same thing."

"The heir to the main family should indeed be chosen carefully, otherwise there might be a regrettable genius like Hyuga Neji."

"Are you an idiot? The clan leader is obviously delaying the selection of an heir because he doesn't want either of his two daughters to become a branch of the family."

"In the past, when two people were born, the elder brother was designated as the heir and the younger brother as the branch family. This has always been the case with us in Hyuga.

So I only hate my origins, but he actually wants to change this system, then what are we? Does he want to be the victim of reform? "

"Your analysis is correct. I didn't believe this rumor before, but now that the clan leader is being vague, it seems to be true. Alas."

The whispers within the branch team made Hyuga Neji unable to hold back and explode.

Compared to others, he hated the system of the Hyuga main family and branch family even more.

Hyuga Neji said in a sonorous voice:

"Didn't the clan leader give up the idea of ​​Hinata-sama as his successor when he chose to let Hinata-sama go to ninja school when she was a child?"

"I'm sorry, Lady Hinata, but this is all I can do."

Neji Hyuga didn't dare to look at Hinata Hyuga. He knew that his remarks might cause Hinata to be marked with the same mark as him.

But he must act as a fuse, only in this way can he arouse dissatisfaction between the main family and the branch family.

There is only a slight chance of destroying this damn system of branching out of the main family.

Hearing what Hyuga Neji said, everyone was stunned and instantly remembered the decision Hyuga Hiashi had made.

The member of the branch family who was already dissatisfied before, took advantage of the noise around him and lowered his head and said in a low voice:

"I've already given up, so why are you talking about excellence now? Isn't that a bit too much?"

His voice was not loud, but it was just enough to cover up the noise, and every Hyuga member in the conference room could hear it.

The members of the main family did not speak. They knew that the grievances among the branch families already existed, and this was just an opportunity. There was no point in them saying anything, not to mention that their younger brothers and sisters were in the branch family.

The Great Elder deliberately did not stop him. He wanted to use this dissatisfied voice to put pressure on Hinata Hiashi.

When Hyuga Hiashi heard what his tribesmen said, his face darkened.

After Hiashi died for him, he had thought about abolishing this system, but he couldn't do it even as the patriarch.

Because once the caged bird is planted, only death can dissipate it.

If the system is abolished, then what are the branches sitting opposite?

"Now I can't even protect my own daughter?"

Hinata Hiashi was filled with resentment.

Feeling that the shouting had almost reached a certain level, the Great Elder shouted in a stern voice: "Silence!"

Chapter 81 I Know My Daughter Best

"Your speech is not entirely unreasonable, but——"

The Great Elder's gentle tone paused for a moment, then changed the subject, becoming full of intimidation.

"I believe that Chief Hiashi is truly concerned about the future of the Hyuga clan, so he is considering this carefully."

After hearing the words of the Great Elder, the people from the branch families all looked unhappy.

At this time, the second elder on the side said, "Since the clan leader said that both daughters are very outstanding, why not let the two daughters compete with each other?"

The eldest elder agreed, "It's feasible. Just listen to the second elder."

The person who split up the family thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

"I'm sorry, Second Elder, only the eldest daughter is here today. The youngest daughter is not feeling well and is recuperating at home, so let's choose another day."

Hinata Hiashi had long thought that something like this might happen, so he usually brought Hanabi with him to show off in front of everyone, but today he brought Hinata with him.

Although the Hyuga members present had some doubts about the truthfulness of Hyuga Hiashi's words, they did not dare to express it.

Only the Great Elder had a sullen face: "Then let Hinata show her abilities first."

"Ningji, come on over here. I heard that you two used to spar with each other."

Hyuga Daicho had heard that Hyuga Hinata hadn't even mastered the Soft Fist and the Sixty-Four Palms of the Eight Diagrams. Could such a person be called excellent?

As long as Hinata loses at the family meeting, Hyuga Hiashi will no longer have any excuses.

Thinking of this, the Great Elder hurriedly turned his face to the side, because one corner of his mouth was almost raised to the height of his nose, and the other corner of his mouth was still tightly pressed down, so he had to show his face to the side.

"Hmph, old stubborn man, you won't laugh when Hinata performs the Eight Trigrams Palm move."

Looking at the uneasy Hinata, Hyuga Hiashi said, "Since the Great Elder has said so, Hinata, show the Great Elder the results of your training."

Hinata Hyuga looked up and saw her father's expectant eyes, and her heart was a little moved. She hadn't seen that expectant look in her father's eyes for a long time.

"Okay, father, I will do my best."

Hyuga Neji said to the Great Elder, "Ningji obeys your command."

Then he looked at Hyuga Hinata and clenched his fists.

I lost to you last time due to an accident, but I won’t do that again this time!

"Alright, alright, then everyone go to the usual training grounds and spar. Be careful, Neji, don't hurt Hinata."

Hyuga Neji nodded respectfully: "Got it."

Hinata's heart beat faster when she heard the words of the Great Elder. Although she had defeated Neci in the preliminaries, she still did not have much confidence.

Especially since he had never won in previous competitions, and now he had to demonstrate his abilities in front of his tribe members.

"You old stubborn man, are you trying to suppress my daughter's self-confidence before she even starts?"

Hyuga Hiashi held Hinata's hand and said, "Don't be nervous. You have defeated Neji before. As long as you believe in yourself, you can do it."

"Ah."

Hinata nodded heavily, looking serious.

I have to win. I can't lose face for my father or let him down.

…………

Soon, all the members of the Hyuga clan arrived at Hyuga's largest private training ground.

Large clans like the Uchiha, Hyuga, and Sarutobi usually have their own private training grounds.

They are generally taught by the elites of the family, and the conditions and knowledge are no worse than those of ninja schools.

After everyone arrived, Hyuga Hinata and Hyuga Neji were already in the center of the training ground.

"Let's stop here and start."

The Great Elder specifically mentioned Hyuga Neji. As the Great Elder, he knew that Neji was full of resentment for the death of his father Hizashi, and he even had some hostility towards the people of the main family.

Following his order.

"Roll your eyes."

Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hyuga opened their eyes at the same time, and lines around their eyes appeared.

Neji rushed forward first. He knew during the preliminaries that Hinata had mastered the Eight Trigrams Palm, so he had to shorten the distance as quickly as possible.

"Soft Boxing Technique, Bagua Sixty-Four Palms!"

Hyuga Neji took himself as the center point, and a Tai Chi Bagua diagram seemed to appear under his feet. Every step could be traced, yet difficult to deal with.

In an instant he approached Hinata and delivered sixteen palm strikes at an incredibly fast speed!

hiss!

The people of the Zong family gasped.

"I've heard of the Byakugan genius Hyuga Neji for a long time, but I didn't expect that he actually mastered the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms."

"That's a physical skill that only our clan can master. It's incredible that he could learn it by himself."

"Genius, I heard that Hinata-sama has never defeated Neji, and she hasn't mastered the Eight Trigrams Sixty-four Palms yet..."

On the other side, after seeing Hyuga Neji display his abilities, some of the branch families had proud expressions on their faces, while others had unwillingness written on their faces.

One of the branch family members who admired Hyuga Neji very much said angrily:

"No matter how talented Neji is, what does it matter? As a branch family, not only is his Byakugan ability suppressed, but he can only serve as a scapegoat!"

"Humph!"

A muffled sound sounded.

The caged bird mark on the forehead of the branch family member who had just spoken immediately broke out. He fell to the ground, rolling around wildly, wailing in pain.

"Ahhh!"

"I was wrong! Great Elder!"

When the rest of the family heard his miserable cry, they all turned their heads away, unable to bear to look at him.

"Forget it, forget it, he didn't mean it." The second elder on the side persuaded in a casual manner.

Then the Great Elder stopped controlling the bird in the cage.

The great elder said sternly: "Humph! Our Hyuga clan has always had this system. I don't want to hear complaints like this from anyone again!

If I had become a branch family back then, I would definitely be willing to go through fire and water for the main family as well!"

The words of the great elder made all the tribesmen present speechless.

The people of the branch family placed their resentment on Hyuga Neji.

Because of things happening off the field, Hinata and Neji were also affected.

Hinata was distracted, but Neji became even angrier when he heard the tribe member's scream of pain.

The speed and strength of the hands increased!

"Thirty-two palms!"

"Sixty-four palms!"

Neji's attacks fell like heavy rain.

Hinata's Byakugan could capture it, but her speed was still slow to keep up. After taking on Hyuga Neji's Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, several acupoints on her body had been blocked.

"Ningji-nii is still very strong... We can't fight him in close combat."

Hinata Hyuga's breathing was a little disordered.

"Qi, have you become stronger too?"

Hyuga Neji rushed forward again with a cold face. If once didn't work, he would try it twice.

"Ningji, teach her a lesson!"

Everyone in the branch family looked at Hyuga Neji with anticipation, as if every palm strike on Hinata was a strike on the face of the main family.

"Hizuki, tell your daughter to admit defeat."

The great elder at the side said calmly with his hands behind his back.

Under his Byakugan observation, Hinata was already at a disadvantage.

If he takes on Hyuga Neji's attack, he will surely be defeated miserably, so it is better to die with dignity.

Hinata Hiashi said calmly: "Thank you for your concern, Great Elder. I know my daughter best."

The Great Elder looked displeased, his brows furrowed.

Just as Hyuga Neji rushed forward, Hinata was as calm as water and her starting posture changed instantly.

Chapter 82: Eight Trigrams Sixty-four Palms! Eight Trigrams Empty Palm!

"This is?!"

The Great Elder wanted to stop the game, but suddenly his eyes widened and stared at Hinata.

As Hyuga Neji took a step forward, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and a feeling of being locked in came over him!
