Naruto: My Chill Life in the Hyuga Main House

Seeing the confusion on his clansmen's faces, Hyūga Ten'yō let out a long sigh and said with a bitter smile, "It was due to conflicting ideologies and various complicated disputes." 

"The use of the Caged Bird Seal was never a tradition among the Hyūga Clan. It was imposed upon us specifically to guard against them." 

As soon as he said that, chaos and shock erupted within the crowd. 

The longstanding divide between the Main House and the Branch House within the Hyūga Clan had always been intended to prevent outsiders from stealing their Byakugan. 

Yet no one could have foreseen that their greatest threat would come from within— their own blood relatives, the Otsutsuki Clan. 

This shocking revelation left everyone reeling. 

It turned out the Caged Bird Seal wasn't just meant to protect against enemies in the ninja world—it was also to keep even their own kin from coveting the Byakugan. 

At this point, someone questioned skeptically, "That doesn't make sense. The Otsutsuki share our ancestral blood. Shouldn't they awaken the Byakugan as well?" 

Hyūga Ten'yō shook his head gravely and solemnly replied, "This is exactly the most important point I want to emphasize." 

"They sought immense power to guard the seal and closely watched the ninja world. They believed the world shaped by the Sage of Six Paths was mired in endless war and chaos—an imperfect world. Hence, they decided to completely destroy this world and create a new one." 

"Therefore, long ago, they devised a terrifying plan—to extract the Byakugan awakened within their own clan and fuse them together." 

"As a result, even the Hyūga Clan—who possessed the Byakugan—became their prey." 

"The eye that forms after fusing countless Byakugan becomes its evolved form—the Tenseigan." 

"Ancient records within our clan refer to the Tenseigan as the Divine Eye or Eye of God, possessing terrifying power capable of catastrophic destruction." 

"In terms of strength and ability, it far surpasses the Mangekyō Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan." 

Hearing their Clan Leader's words, the senior members of the Hyūga Clan grew animated and impassioned. 

"I always knew that being one of the Three Great Dojutsu, the Byakugan couldn't possibly be weaker than the Sharingan." 

"Exactly! The Byakugan of the Hyūga Clan truly is the strongest!" 

"But wait, evolving into the Tenseigan requires merging countless Byakugan. That condition seems way too harsh." 

"No wonder most of our clan bears the Caged Bird Seal—it was to avoid being hunted by the Otsutsuki." 

Some proudly insisted the Byakugan was not inferior to the Sharingan, others debated the difficulty of evolving it, while others finally grasped why the Caged Bird Seal had been used. 

Behind Hyūga Ten'yō knelt Hizashi Hyūga, head bowed low, his expression a storm of conflicting emotions. 

He had always felt the Caged Bird Seal was unduly harsh—not only for himself, but for all who came after him. 

Yet, after hearing his father's explanation, he began to understand why the Caged Bird Seal had become necessary. 

Without it, the Otsutsuki Clan residing on the moon would certainly never spare their Byakugan-awakened kin. 

Between losing one's freedom and losing one's eyes, a sacrifice had to be made. 

At that moment, Hyūga Ten'yō raised his head, his piercing gaze settling on Satori Hyūga.

"Do you mean to say you've awakened the Tenseigan, Satori Hyūga? That's why your eyes have changed so drastically?"

Satori nodded slightly without hesitation, revealing nothing but honesty in his response.

He had transcended the Byakugan itself—undoubtedly an act that would make him a monumental hero within the Hyūga Clan.

Besides, he wasn't some naive insignificant outsider without strength, background, or support.

He possessed both power and backing. He even had powerful allies within the clan, so he had no fear of pressure from the leadership. In fact, he intended to use this opportunity to extend his influence into the clan and push forward his plans for reform.

The Hyūga Clan, bound by the Caged Bird Seal, was far too outdated and stagnant—it felt like they were stuck in the Stone Age.

Even with Satori's interventions, the clan merely masked the decay beneath.

Seeing how straightforward Satori was, Ten'yō's gaze sharpened as he scrutinized him. Based on Satori's reaction, he then asked what he believed to be the most critical question.

"How exactly did your eyes awaken and evolve? You must know we don't possess any known method within the Hyūga Clan capable of awakening the Tenseigan."

Ever since learning about Satori's Tenseigan awakening, Ten'yō had strongly suspected Satori had made contact with the Otsutsuki Clan residing on the Moon.

After all, only the Otsutsuki possessed the unique techniques to transform a Byakugan into a Tenseigan.

That was precisely why he had called for the Clan Assembly—to confront Satori openly.

Moreover, Satori's personal influence had been growing rapidly, far-reaching and growing beyond control, enough to unsettle even him as Clan Leader.

By his authority alone, there was no way he could directly pass judgment on Satori. Hence, he resorted to convening the assembly, using the collective name of the clan to question and confront him.

Satori gave a soft chuckle, his expression brimming with contempt and pride.

"Clan Leader, perhaps you hold the Otsutsuki Clan in too high regard—or perhaps you underestimate us Hyūga too much."

"The method I used to awaken the Tenseigan was one I personally discovered. It enables the evolution of the Byakugan into a Tenseigan."

"And my Tenseigan differs from theirs. It holds more mysterious and unique powers."

He turned his gaze toward everyone present and proudly declared, "We are close relatives of the Otsutsuki Clan. If they can wield their own Tenseigan, surely our Hyūga Clan deserves to have its own as well!"

"I can assure each of you here that my Tenseigan does not harm the interests of our clan or our people in any way."

His words sent shockwaves through the room. Every gaze upon him shifted instantly.

What was this?

This was a genius of the Hyūga Clan—a beacon of hope, the Morning Star.

Discovering a uniquely Hyūga-style Tenseigan meant making an extraordinary contribution to the clan.

At this moment, if Satori proposed becoming the next Clan Leader, many would begin to question whether it was time for Ten'yō to step down.

With the Tenseigan, Satori could potentially lead the Hyūga Clan into a new era of glory, finally freeing them from the shadow of the lunar Otsutsuki.

"Satori," someone finally asked the crucial question, "would you be willing to share your method with the rest of the clan?"

The entire assembly fell silent, eyes locked on him in anticipation.

Satori wore a faint smile across his face. As he looked upon the expectant faces around him, he gave a slight nod.

In an instant, ecstatic expressions appeared on the faces in the assembly.

This was a method considered highly classified, yet Satori Hyūga was now ready to share it with the clan.

Seeing the joy on their faces, a faint smile crossed Satori Hyūga's face as he prepared to rein in their excitement.

"Don't get too happy too soon," he warned with a measured tone. "The evolution and awakening of the Tenseigan require certain talent, not to mention completely pure Byakugan."

"To give members of our clan a chance to awaken it, we must abolish the Caged Bird Seal first."

"In other words, from now on, there will no longer be a distinction between Main House and Branch House."

After Satori Hyūga finished speaking, many in the crowd immediately changed expression.

Especially some Branch House members marked by the Caged Bird Seal on their foreheads, who stood frozen in place.

They had been marked since childhood by the Caged Bird Seal and dedicated their lives to protecting the Main House, growing accustomed to its ever-present weight.
