From today onward, the leader of the Hyuga Clan is Hyuga Hikari.
The Third Hokage himself made the announcent.
In other words, Hyuga Hikari's status as clan leader had been recognized by the Hokage. Especially after Hikari displayed her overwhelming strength, the mbers of the Hyuga Clan had no choice but to submit. They had to accept it.
They dared not voice any dissatisfaction.
Hyuga Hiashi's strength was considered comparable to an elite Jonin within Konoha. Even so, in the hands of the new clan head, Hyuga Hikari, he was utterly defeated in under a minute.
Furthermore, Hyuga Hikari had a powerful ally—the infamous Blood-Red Pepper, Uzumaki Kushina.
Any sign of hesitation or resistance was t with rciless force. The clan elders had already seen how Kushina had crushed Elder Hyuga Takamaru's head without a second thought.
They simply couldn't afford to defy such monsters.
Moreover, judging from the way things unfolded, the Third Hokage seed to respect Kushina's stance on the matter.
The Hyuga clan mbers quickly understood—there was an unusual relationship between Hikari and Kushina. And with the Third Hokage's apparent approval, it beca clear that Hikari had solid backing.
With strength, influence, and the right connections, Hyuga Hikari had completely subdued the clan. They could only accept their new leader, whether they liked it or not.
At the sa ti, she had garnered the support of most of the Branch Family mbers. A few outliers still existed—those so accustod to servitude that they had forgotten how to stand on their own.
The power dynamics within the Hyuga Clan had shifted drastically.
Elder Hyuga Riji, ever the opportunist, understood the current situation. He knew where his allegiance should lie.
Hikari's tone was commanding as she said, "Elder Riji, the injured mbers and the damages sustained by the clan are now your responsibility."
"Yes, Clan Head!" Riji replied without hesitation.
Hyuga Hikari exuded an aura of absolute authority. She looked every bit like a queen ruling over her subjects.
Her words from earlier echoed in the minds of those present:
"I will make the Hyuga Clan the strongest in Konoha."
Of course, she had said that mostly for the Third Hokage's benefit.
Hikari knew of Kushina and Uchiha Mikoto's plans. She was an active participant in them.
For now, the Third Hokage had officially recognized her as the clan leader. This was the perfect opportunity to show her "loyalty" to him.
After this war, it would soon be ti for the current generation to step down.
Three won—Kushina, Mikoto, and Hikari—were about to reshape the village's power structure.
Hyuga Hiashi finally regained consciousness, erging from the rubble.
"I lost?" he murmured in disbelief.
He hadn't even seen how he was defeated. He hadn't even had ti to activate his Heavenly Rotation.
Now, his chakra pathways and tenketsu were completely sealed, making it nearly impossible to mold chakra.
As he lay in the debris, no one ca to check on him.
Hiashi saw the mbers of the Branch Family casting him cold, disdainful glances.
And the Main Family mbers—the very people he had trusted—refused to even look at him.
This was human nature.
Just monts ago, he had been the proud and respected clan head.
Now that he had lost that title, he was nothing more than an ordinary clansman.
Who would care about him now?
The fall from grace was abrupt and rciless.
How could Hyuga Hiashi endure this?
Born into nobility, he had always carried himself with pride and dignity.
To suffer such an utter defeat... to lose everything so easily...
It was unacceptable.
"That woman... that woman took everything from ..."
Hiashi's heart twisted with resentnt and rage.
To him, this was the greatest humiliation.
He had lost to a woman.
Not only had he been defeated, but his position had also been stolen from him.
If word spread, other clans and ninja across the village would mock him.
Even worse, the entire shinobi world would laugh at him.
He could already imagine their sneers:
"Hey, did you hear? Hyuga Hiashi lost to a woman from his own clan and got kicked out as leader."62
"Of course! What a joke! He must be pathetic."
Hyuga Hiashi's fists clenched tightly.
He refused to be a laughingstock.
Anger, jealousy, and wounded pride clouded his judgnt.
His white Byakugan eyes were bloodshot. His face twisted with hatred.
Then, without warning, he scread, "Die, Hyuga Hikari!"
Dozens of kunai, each wrapped with explosive tags, flew from both of his hands, aid directly at Hyuga Hikari's back.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A series of explosions rocked the battlefield.
Smoke and dust filled the air.
Hyuga Hiashi grinned maniacally. "Hahaha! Burn in hell!"
As the smoke cleared, his grin faltered.
Kushina, Mikoto, and Hikari stood completely unhard.
Kushina had already anticipated his move.
While in her Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, she had sensed the intense killing intent directed toward them.
The kunai had been effortlessly blocked by the chakra arms extending from her body.
A sneak attack like this might work against an average ninja.
But against soone like Hyuga Hikari, who possessed the Byakugan?
It was laughable.
Kushina smirked, a cruel glint in her eyes.
"Oh? Not willing to accept defeat, so you resort to sneak attacks?"
In a red flash, she appeared beside Hiashi.
"You pathetic coward," she sneered. "You really thought you could take us down?"
Before Hiashi could react, Kushina raised her foot and stomped between his legs.
A sickening crack echoed through the air.
A scream of pure agony tore from Hiashi's throat.
He collapsed, unconscious.
With that single blow, Kushina had permanently ensured that Hiashi would never produce an heir.
The watching Hyuga clan mbers broke into a cold sweat.
The Blood-Red Pepper was a demon in human skin.
anwhile, Kurama, sealed inside Kushina, shuddered.
"Damn... she's terrifying."
He instinctively glanced down at himself.
"...Good, everything's still intact."
With the Hyuga Clan matter settled, Konoha prepared for a new crisis.
Tensions in the ninja world had reached a boiling point.
The Third Great Ninja War had begun.
Unlike in the original tiline, where Kakashi had participated, he and his team were still in the Ninja Academy.
This ti, the war had ignited much earlier.
The catalyst was the Hidden Cloud Village.
Restless and aggressive, they had finally decided to make their move.
They were no longer content with sitting on the sidelines.
The Third Raikage himself led the charge, setting the battlefield ablaze.
One by one, the major villages were drawn into the conflict.
The Hidden Sand, the Hidden Rock, the Hidden Mist, and even Konoha were now engaged in a full-scale war.
No village was innocent.
No village could remain neutral.
The Third Great Ninja War had begun in earnest.
