Chapter 102
Natsuki chuckled, "Neji, the Hyuga clan is an ancient clan. But over all these years, has there ever been a case where the Byakugan evolved? No, right? Maybe the legendary Hyuga Tennin did evolve his Byakugan, but the current Hyuga clan? There's no chance anymore.
Everyone says the branch house is bound by the Caged Bird Seal, but what about the main house? They're bound too! They've locked themselves in a cage called Konoha. They're cowardly, decaying, arrogant, and complacent. They lack ambition. They're too scared to even step outside the village. They're no different from the branch family who can't fly freely."
"At least the branch family resists. The main family clings to outdated rules and flaunts their status, lost in past glories and unwilling to wake up. Can such a main family lead the Byakugan to evolve?"
"They can't!"
Neji's answer was firm and unwavering.
Even if he was once confused, deep down he knew—the current main family could never bring about an evolution of the Byakugan.
The Uchiha's Sharingan evolves only through constant battle and emotional stimulus. And the Uchiha... they were always fighting. They never stopped growing stronger. Maybe they were arrogant, but their eyes could evolve.
And the Hyuga?
The rebellious branch is sealed in a cage. The decaying main family hides in fear. No one is flying. No one is evolving.
How laughable! The Hyuga clan!
Neji let out a chuckle, almost vindicated in his frustration. But Natsuki raised a hand to stop him.
"Don't laugh just yet. What I said about creating your own miracle wasn't just to make you feel better. You need a smart brain—so you can think and find a way to break your chains. Pure Byakugan may be more likely to evolve, but no one ever said that Byakugan under the Caged Bird Seal can't evolve. Maybe... the day your Byakugan evolves is the day your cage breaks open."
