Naruto didn't finish his sentence.

But Hinata already understood what he meant.

She knew, of course, Neji's dissatisfaction with her and his hatred for the entire Hyuga main family.

but……

What Neji didn't know was that he also hated the system of dividing the main family into separate branches.

"Neji-nii, you...hello..."

Hyuga Neji stared at her coldly and laughed mockingly.

"Oh, isn't this Hinata-sama?"

"What, do you want to teach the servants of the branch family a lesson?!"

Hinata's face turned pale: "I, I didn't..."

"Neji-nii, I...I know you hate the main family, but actually I feel the same way..."

"I am no longer..."

Neji interrupted her: "Shut up!"

"How could you, as the eldest daughter of the main family, possibly understand my feelings?!"

"You are free to choose your own destiny, but I am just a bird trapped in a cage for my entire life!"

If it were the original Hinata, she would definitely be timid and retreat.

But this time, she didn't want to be timid in front of Naruto anymore.

She mustered her courage and took a deep breath.

"You, you're wrong, Neji-nii..."

"Within the web of the main family's branch system, we are all the same, birds bound by the cage of fate..."

“I didn’t want to be the heir of the main family, but because of my father’s entrustment and expectations, I was forced to work hard from a young age. Unfortunately, I… I have never been able to meet my father’s expectations…”

"Perhaps I am cowardly, perhaps I am incompetent, but in any case, I have now lost to Hanabi and am no longer the heir of the main family..."

Hyuga Neji's expression changed drastically!

"You...what did you say..."

Others may not understand the meaning behind Hinata's words.

But Neji knew it better than anyone else!

If Hinata loses to Hanabi and loses her right to be the heir to the main branch of the family, it means...

In the future, she, like herself, will also be destined to separate from the family!

Let alone sisters, even twin brothers would suffer the same fate if they had the same father!

If this is really the case...

Hinata's future will only be one of the same tragic fate as mine!

In an instant, Neji's hatred for Hinata vanished...

"You, are you telling the truth?!"

Hinata lowered her head, her face showing a mixture of relief and sorrow.

"Ah."

"For example, if the system of branching into the main family doesn't change, I will end up like Neji, a member of the branch family, branded with the mark of the Caged Bird..."

"Our destinies are no different..."

Neji was also taken aback.

He never expected it to end like this.

"hahahahahahahaha!"

Neji suddenly burst into mocking laughter.

"good very good!"

"Hinata, you'll soon understand how I feel!"

"Unfortunately, I don't have much sympathy for you, because..."

"At least you've enjoyed the blessings of the main family, unlike me, who was destined for a tragic fate from birth!"

Hinata didn't resist and nodded, saying, "Neji-nii, you're right..."

"But, but what I want to say is that what is truly hateful is not the division of the main family into branches, but the system of dividing the main family into branches, isn't that right?"

“I…I want to work with you to change this system…”

Neji felt a tremor in his heart.

he……

How could I not want to?!

No one wanted it more than him!

but……

No! That's impossible!

"You and me? Change the system?!"

"Stop dreaming, Hinata-sama!"

"That is our destiny, and no one can change it!"

"From the moment we are born, we have no freedom whatsoever; we are merely slaves to fate!"

Hinata shook her head firmly.

"No, I...I don't think so..."

"Although it is my incompetence, I have indeed escaped the fate of becoming the heir of the main family..."

"Moreover, I have always watched others struggle desperately to escape their fate..."

Neji exclaimed, "Who?!"

Hinata glanced at Naruto.

Everyone understood what she meant.

"Uzumaki Naruto?"

"This bottom-of-the-class guy?!"

Naruto flew into a rage again, but Rock Lee held him back.

Ino frowned as she watched this scene without saying anything. Her keen senses told her that this was a crucial moment for Hinata and Neji to open up to each other.

Hinata spoke gently yet proudly.

"Yes, it's Naruto-kun..."

"Neji-nii doesn't know yet, does he?"

"Naruto-kun... just defeated Sasuke!"

Neji Hyuga and Rock Lee's expressions both changed!

Rock Lee abruptly turned his head to the side.

"Naruto, you, you really..."

Naruto scratched his head and smiled: "That's right!"

Of course, Hyuga Neji had heard of the name Uchiha Sasuke.

Throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village, everyone knows this name.

Not only because of his unique background and tragic experiences, but more importantly, he was indeed a true genius ninja!

He was the most popular girl in the ninja academy, and all the other teachers and students praised him highly.

Hyuga Neji frowned.

"This loser defeated Uchiha Sasuke?!"

Hinata's eyes shone brightly, filled with happiness and pride.

"yes……"

“Naruto-kun... he also worked hard all the time, changing his fate of being seen as a loser by everyone. Isn’t that enough to make Neji-nii see it clearly?”

"People can change their own destiny!"

Neji Hyuga was indeed impacted.

Firstly, Hinata has already lost her right to be the heir to the main family. If the Hyuga clan's system is not reformed, she will eventually become a member of the branch family like herself.

The second one is that Naruto Uzumaki, the loser, actually defeated the genius Sasuke Uchiha!

Could it be that the fatalistic belief I've always held... is true?

Is it really wrong?!

Do not……

impossible……

impossible!

He remained stubborn and indifferent, coldly saying, "Hinata, don't think you can change my mind with just a few words!"

"Your so-called change of fate is nothing but a reflection of your own incompetence!"

"As for Naruto Uzumaki, that loser, I really don't know how he defeated Sasuke Uchiha, but it was just pure luck..."

"If you want me to admit that fate can be changed, you'll only succeed if you can truly change the system of dividing the main family into separate branches..."

"Completely abolish!"

Hinata's heart skipped a beat: "I..."

"Of course I want to abolish it, but my power alone is too weak..."

"That's why we need Neji-nii's help..."

Hyuga Neji stubbornly shook his head.

"Such naive and childish talk is only good for fooling yourself!"

"Humph!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

"Neji-nii..."

Hinata was helpless...

Naruto's lips curled into a smirk.

"What an arrogant bastard!"

"Hinata, don't bother with him!"

"Oh, by the way, I was able to achieve such good results today thanks in no small part to Hinata's tutoring. How about I treat you to Ichiraku Ramen?!"

Lee Locke said, "And me!"

Naruto laughed heartily: "Ride trained with me in taijutsu too, so of course he'll treat us to a meal as well!"

Ino immediately chimed in, "Me too! Me too!"

"Ino? You haven't helped me at all, have you?!"

"...Everyone who sees this gets a share, Naruto!"

Naruto was in a great mood today and didn't dwell on it, laughing heartily.

"Let's all come together! It'll be more fun with more people!"
