The elder brother's daughter is very much loved by the Hokage.

Hyuga Hizashi felt bitter inside, knowing that his son, Hyuga Neji, would soon be branded with the "Caged Bird Seal."

Once the "Caged Bird Seal" is placed on someone, there has not been a single case of someone who has separated from their family breaking free in the hundreds of years since.

His children will also become birds permanently imprisoned in a cage.

When will the caged bird fly away?

"Lord Hokage, our clan has detected signs of Kumogakure ninja activity along the border..."

Hyuga Hizashi truthfully reported the information he had learned.

"Well...I see."

Kiyoshi said calmly.

In the original story, Hinata was abducted when she was three years old.

It is likely that the Fourth Raikage and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki are both imprisoned in the village, which has made Kumogakure quite anxious.

"Neji will be enrolling in the Ninja Academy soon, right?"

Kiyoshi looked up at the small figure standing at the door.

"It will take more than a year."

Hyuga Hizashi Opening.

"That's it."

Qingsi nodded.

"Give this to Hyuga Neji. It's some taijutsu I figured out myself."

Kiyoshi took out a ninjutsu scroll and gave it to Hyuga Hizashi.

The above are some of the "soft boxing techniques" researched by Kiyoshi.

Physical techniques are divided into "hard fist" and "soft fist," and it is not only the Hyuga clan that knows "soft fist."

However, with the added advantage of the White Eye, their clan stands out the most.

These are all theories of "soft boxing" that Kiyoshi had previously gathered, combined with his own ideas to create this work.

This is a good opportunity to give it to Hyuga Neji to conduct experiments and see if my predictions are correct.

If it's correct, then with some further optimization, Kiyoshi will pass it on to Hinata.

Hyuga Neji, a member of the branch family, was able to master the "Gentle Fist Style: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms"—a technique usually reserved for the main family—through his own efforts, without relying on learning from others.

Kiyoshi believes that this self-learning ability will not disappoint him.

"Gentle Fist?"

Hyuga Hizashi took it and glanced at it casually.

He was very puzzled, as he had never heard of Kiyoshi possessing such skills.

But since it was Kiyoshi's kind offer, he couldn't very well refuse.

He immediately said to Hyuga Neji, who was standing at the door:

"Hurry up and thank the Hokage!"

"Thank you... thank you, Lord Hokage."

When Hyuga Neji spoke up, he clearly hadn't expected that he would be involved.

"Hehe, the future belongs to you young people."

Kiyoshi is young, but there is no doubt that Hyuga Neji's generation is younger than him.

A new era is dawning.

More than a decade later, when the world has forgotten the scars of the Third Shinobi World War, Kiyoshi may become a representative figure of the old era.

Then he told Hyuga Hizashi to go down first.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Hinata nodded.

Now that the intelligence has been delivered, the next step is for the Konoha leadership to consider.

The Hyuga clan holds a somewhat delicate position in Konoha. Although they are a major clan like the Uchiha, they also possess strategic abilities like the Byakugan.

However, the Hyuga clan is weak in political matters.

Even the Uchiha clan has its own Konoha Police Department, while their clan has nothing.

This is also related to the Hyuga clan's policy. In addition, their clan lacks top-tier strong individuals, so they also follow the path of "protecting the Byakugan".

As long as this bloodline continues, it will be a way of honoring the ancestors of the Hyuga clan.

"Father, why did the Hokage only accept Hinata as his disciple?"

Walking down the corridor, Hyuga Neji felt a little confused.

Hyuga Hizashi looked at his son and the smooth forehead on his forehead upon hearing this, and after several attempts to speak, he finally sighed and said:

"Neji, my son, you will understand later."

Neji Hyuga was bewildered by his father's words, but he silently remembered this day.

Perhaps many years later, Hyuga Neji will recall that distant afternoon when his father first took him to the Hokage's office and the Hokage gave him a gift.

……

As the sun gradually set behind the mountains, dusk enveloped the leaves in a golden veil.

"Teacher Qingsi, have you finished today's official duties?"

Hinata asked.

"ended."

Qingsi nodded.

As the Hokage, there are bound to be some official matters that require his personal verification.

The reason he spent the whole afternoon dealing with this was because it had been accumulating for months.

He outsourced all the next level of government affairs.

Qingsi spent most of his time on cultivation.

In his view, Naruto's weakness and exhaustion in middle age, which even led to discord between father and son, were all self-inflicted.

As the Hokage of Konoha, he even had to send out shadow clones to help an old lady cross the street.

He has to use shadow clones to handle a lot of miscellaneous tasks every day, and the fatigue from these tasks accumulates on his main body.

Even though Kiyoshi spends 24 hours a day using his puppet clones to learn techniques and conduct research, he keeps it within a limit that does not affect his own condition.

The most direct result of this was that Naruto's combat sluggishness led to him being stabbed through the abdomen by Uchiha Shin's weapon.

If it weren't for Kurama's regenerative abilities, Naruto would have died at the hands of such an insignificant nobody.

When the Otsutsuki invaded later, Naruto was powerless to stop them.

If Naruto had continued his rigorous training after the Fourth Shinobi World War, his strength would have increased significantly, and he wouldn't be in such a predicament.

bang~

There was a soft knocking at the door.

The knocking was very soft, as if the person knocking didn't want to come in.

"Hinata."

Hinatsuki Hinata came in from outside.

She looked at Hinata, who was being held by Kiyoshi, and a complicated expression flashed in her eyes.

For her, it felt somewhat absurd.

Therefore, she often did not treat Hinata as a daughter, but only as a cloned sister.

She simply used her womb to give birth.

"It's time to go home."

Hinata Hinazuki said softly.

"it is good."

Hinata nodded.

She looked up at Qing Si with her small face, as if asking him if he could put her down.

"Hinata, don't rush."

Kiyoshi smiled and placed Hinata on the Hokage chair.

"Lady Hinatsuki, I would like to talk to you about the ninjutsu Hinata will learn in the future."

Kiyoshi said.

Such an important matter naturally requires informing the guardian.

"what?"

Hinata Hina looked at Seiji with suspicion, not understanding what he was planning to do now.

"Please, may I speak to you in private?"

Kiyoshi said.

The Hokage Building has many rooms, many of which are vacant.

No one will come without the orders of the Qing official.

Kiyoshi also sent away the secret agents who had been lurking around him.

He doesn't like having someone around spying on him; he just needs someone who can come quickly when he calls.

"That's not necessary, Lord Hokage."

Hinatsuki Hinata spoke.

Beneath the simple kimono was a light-colored silk ribbon that cinched her slender, soft waist.

Although she was fuller than the female ninja who had been training diligently, the extra flesh perfectly highlighted the word "beautiful woman".

"It concerns Hinata's future, so it's better to be more serious, don't you think, Lady Hinata?"

Kiyoshi touched Hinata's short blue hair with his hand.

"This……"

Hinatsuki Hyuga still harbored doubts.

She knew exactly what Kiyoshi wanted to do, so she politely declined.

But Qing Si remained unmoved, as if he couldn't understand her hints.

"What's wrong? Are you in a difficult situation, Lady Hinatsuki?"

Kiyoshi lowered his hand from Hinata's head, his dark eyes fixed on Hinazuki.

"...Then please grant me this favor, Lord Hokage."

Hinatsuki Hyuga sighed softly to herself.

She did this for Hinata, for the Hyuga clan...

Click.

The door is closed.

Hinata was the only one left in the Hokage's office.

She looked curiously at the furnishings inside the room.

The walls are adorned with portraits of the Hokage from different generations.

From the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, all the way to the Fourth Hokage, Kiyoshi.
