Chapter 186 Appearance
Hyuga Kanan, the legendary figure of the Hyuga clan passed down for a thousand years, stood there silently, like an unshakeable mountain. His figure was tall and upright, exuding an aura of awe. Hyuga Hizashi gazed at him, the thought in his heart surging like a tidal wave, no longer able to be suppressed.
Hyuga Kanan's strength is unfathomable, like a colossal beast lurking in the depths of darkness, exuding a dangerous yet alluring charm. His eyes are like the deep starry sky, filled with a mysterious, eerie blue light, seemingly capable of seeing through the essence of all things. This light is awe-inspiring, as if it contains boundless power and wisdom, leaving one in awe.
A unique aura emanated from him, an innate majesty. This majesty did not stem from his status or power, but from the deep-seated confidence and strength within him. He was like a brilliant star, shining alone in the vast universe, attracting the attention of all. His presence instilled a sense of security, yet simultaneously made people hesitant to approach, as if he were someone to be admired from afar.
However, when facing his enemies, that imposing aura instantly transformed into unparalleled oppressive power. His aura was as vast and powerful as a volcanic eruption, causing his enemies to tremble before him. His attacks were like thunderbolts, unstoppable; his defenses were like an impregnable fortress. He was like a dazzling sun, radiating boundless light, invincible to all. Under his illumination, enemies had nowhere to hide and could only obediently submit to his might.
If his son Neji could stay by his side, he would definitely become a peerless powerhouse who would shock the ninja world in the future! He might even become the Hokage of Konoha! After all, he possesses such great strength and talent. If he receives the right guidance and training, he will surely achieve unimaginable success in the future! However, Kanan has always been rather aloof since childhood, showing no interest in anything, and is particularly afraid of trouble. He wondered if it was possible for him to take Neji as his disciple. Hyuga Hizashi looked at his younger brother in front of him with a somewhat dazed expression, and a strong sense of anticipation welled up in his heart.
How he wished Neji could receive the best education and guidance to become an outstanding ninja! Kanan was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. However, he also knew that Kanan's personality was quite eccentric, and getting him to take on a student wouldn't be easy. Nevertheless, Hyuga Hizashi would do his best to try. He believed that with enough sincerity and patience, he would surely be able to move Kanan's heart.
Hyuga Kanan stood there, quietly gazing at his second brother, who had always taken care of him since childhood. A faint emotion welled up within him. From the other's expression and eyes, he keenly sensed something unusual, as if the other was hiding something and trying to get rid of him.
Hyuga Kanan thought to himself that if the other party's request was reasonable, he wouldn't mind fulfilling it. So, he asked softly, "Second brother, is there something you want to say to me?"
Hearing Hyuga Kanan's question, Hyuga Hizashi snapped back to reality. He realized the other had seen through his thoughts, but he didn't answer immediately. He secretly considered that it would be best to wait until Kanan had dealt with his clan's troubles before finding a suitable opportunity to discuss it properly, hoping to get Neji under Kanan's tutelage. This would greatly benefit Neji's development.
"Kanan, let's talk about this after we've resolved the clan's troubles! The clan is facing a crisis right now and urgently needs your support back in Konoha to help us through this difficult time!" Hyuga Hizashi, though eager to plead with his younger brother to take in his child, knew the clan's crisis was far more pressing. "Don't worry! The clan's affairs are easy to handle, nothing serious. Tell me about your situation first! Tell me, and I'll do my best to meet your needs, as long as it's within my power." Hyuga Kanan's tone was calm yet firm.
In his eyes, the threats posed by both Konoha and Kumogakure to his clan were nothing more than insignificant troubles. With his current strength, he could easily resolve them quickly, without needing to worry excessively. However, Hyuga Kanan felt deeply moved by his second elder brother. Back in the clan, his brother had never troubled the family with personal matters, but now he needed his help, which stirred Kanan's pity and made him eager to lend a hand.
"Uh..." Hyuga Hizashi was slightly taken aback, his thoughts a little slow to catch up. At this moment, the clan was facing immense pressure from the combined forces of Konoha and Kumogakure, a tense situation that made the entire clan feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy and surrounded by danger. However, in Hyuga Kanan's words, all of this seemed to be no big problem.
"Perhaps this is the confidence that strength brings! Since Kanan wants me to do this, I'll just explain the situation to them directly! No matter what the final result is, I should at least try my best for Neji," Hyuga Hizashi thought to himself.
"Kanan, I want my son, Neji, to train with you. I hope you can spend some time guiding him, is that alright?" Hyuga Hizashi said sincerely, looking at Hyuga Kanan with expectation in his eyes.
Hyuga Kanan was slightly taken aback upon hearing his second brother's words, thinking to himself, "So, my second brother didn't come to me this time to remove the Caged Bird Seal or to resolve internal family disputes." He had originally thought that Hyuga Hizashi would make some more difficult requests, but he never expected that it would concern his nephew Neji's growth.
Hyuga Kanan stood up, walked to the window, gazed at the distant sky, and after a moment of silence, turned around and said to Hyuga Hizashi with a firm look in his eyes, "Second brother, I understand your expectations for Neji, but you must know that the path of training is not smooth sailing. It requires a lot of effort and sweat, and is accompanied by countless difficulties and challenges."
Hyuga Hina nodded, indicating that he understood Kanan's concerns. He took a deep breath and continued, "I know this won't be easy for Neji, but only through arduous training can he become a truly powerful ninja. And within our clan, you are undoubtedly the most suitable mentor. That's why I've taken the liberty of making this request to you."
Hyuga Kanan frowned slightly, pondering Hyuga Hizashi's words. He knew that Neji, as a member of the Hyuga clan, was the most talented of the younger generation. However, he also worried whether he had enough ability and time to guide Neji onto the path to success.
Just then, Hyuga Hizashi spoke again: "Kanan, I believe you can do it. Your strength and experience are unmatched. With your careful guidance, Neji will surely achieve great things. Moreover, this will have a positive impact on the future development of the entire clan."
Hyuga Kanan's gaze gradually hardened. He knew he couldn't betray Hyuga Hizashi's trust and expectations. So, he slowly nodded and agreed to Hyuga Hizashi's request: "Alright, second brother, I will do my best to guide Neji's training. But I also hope that he can maintain his perseverance and determination to move forward."
With Kanan's approval, Hyuga Hizashi smiled with relief. He gratefully grasped Kanan's hand and said excitedly, "Thank you, Kanan! I believe that under your guidance, Neji will grow strong and survive in the ninja world!" At this moment, Hyuga Hizashi's heart was filled with anticipation and confidence for the future.
Hyuga Kanan stood up, nodded slightly to the excited man, indicating that he understood, and told him to rest and recover. Then, he turned and walked out of the room, his steps firm and steady.
At this moment, he had only one goal—to resolve the trouble his clan was facing from the Hidden Cloud Village. This problem would waste a lot of his time, and he had to deal with it properly as quickly as possible.
On his way to deal with the problem, Hyuga Kanan kept thinking about how to respond. He knew that Kumogakure was one of the strongest, if not the strongest, of the five great ninja villages in the ninja world, and that it was full of domineering and arrogant characteristics. Therefore, he needed to have enough deterrence to make them realize the reality.
During this period, Hyuga Kanan made significant progress in his secluded study and analysis of Hashirama Senju's cells. He was only one membrane away from successfully comprehending the power of the life's rules, and this opportunity to step out of seclusion allowed him to break through that membrane through actual combat. Once he did, his Wood Element rules would unleash devastating power comparable to Hashirama Senju's. Furthermore, the energy within him was far more advanced than chakra, surpassing Hashirama Senju's normal strength and reaching the level of Hashirama Senju's Wood Release enhanced by Sage Mode. He could teach the Hidden Cloud Village an unforgettable lesson.
According to Hyuga Kanan's plan, after defeating the aggressive troop movements of the Kumogakure border troops at the border of the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain, he would return to Konoha and bring Hyuga Neji back to his training grounds, fulfilling his second brother's wish to properly nurture this genius of the Hyuga clan, renowned for his exceptional talent in the anime. He believed that under his tutelage, Hyuga Neji would inherit his mantle and grow far beyond the level depicted in the original story. He wouldn't simply perish in the Fourth Shinobi World War, but would become his most valuable ally in the fight against the mastermind behind it all.
Only by receiving training and education from Hyuga Kanan from a young age could Hyuga Neji truly display his extraordinary talent and become the second cultivator in this world.
