Yeah, turn your sadness into kindness, your uniqueness into strength

Even if you get lost, let’s start walking

One more time

Are you really happy

when you're always meeting to someone's expectations?

Even if you change to who you really wanna be

Will you always have a great smile?

Dreaming of only “the beginning,” I wake up

and someday, I'll live on my own.

Yes, precious things are never in shape

You never know what it is when you get it or lose it

Yeah, turn your sadness into kindness, your uniqueness into strength

Even if you get lost, let's start walking

One more time

His opponent is that Neji, huh…?

The Final Round is altogether different than the preliminaries…

After all, Naruto may not be able to…

Entertain me a little, Naruto.

I’ve got a tough job waiting for me now, so…

Ultimate Defense: Zero Blind Spot!

Dang it. I can’t catch him at all.

I told you I’m not such a fool, didn’t I?

I already know… which one is the real one.

Oh.

That is the body that has least attacks

due to its fear of having Chakra Points attacked.

The more you attack,

the more that one body becomes clearly evident.

You’re the real one.

Naruto…

This is as far as it goes.

I said it was pointless.

Don’t let him beat you, Naruto.

I’ve been telling you not to frivolously assume things.

What?

It can’t be.

All right! Go, Naruto!

Naruto…!

He foiled my idea and purposely and drew one of his clones back?

I’ve been striking from the beginning, prepared for an honorable death!

Believe it!

I did it.

That’s…

W-What was that?

Did you think you’d won?

Why?

Naruto’s punch should’ve hit.

That…

Rotation...

That’s Neji’s defense.

You punk. Don’t make a fool of me.

The largest range of vision of Neji’s Byakugan is nearly 360 degrees.

And he detects all of his opponent’s attacks with the Byakugan.

His defense technique, the 8 Trigrams Palms Rotation,

will begin from here.

The moment he’s attacked, he discharges a large amount of Chakra

from the Chakra holes in the body, blocks the enemy’s attack with that Chakra,

moves his own body in a circular motion, dodges and repels.

Essentially, it’s difficult to control the Chakra discharged from Chakra holes…

To the extent that even Jonin utilize the discharge from a part of the body,

like the hands and feet, in techniques.

But Neji who has mastered Gentle Fist discharges Chakra

from his entire body and shuts out physical attacks

just with that discharge power.

In other words,

that’s one more absolute defense

that has more power than that Gaara’s Sand Shield.

T-That’s father’s…

The Rotation is a secret Art passed down from generation to generation

only to the Hyuga head family, in other words the Hyuga clan.

He created that on his own…?

He’s quite the guy… To think he’d come this far.

It’s much too soon to be surprised. Neji’s true power is still to come.

Dang it.

This is the end.

You’re within the area of my 8 Trigrams.

Gentle Fist Art.

8 Trigrams 64 Palms.

It can’t be.

That pose.

8 Tetragrams…

…2 Palms!

4 Palms.

8 Palms.

16 Palms.

32 Palms.

64 Palms!

The branch family exceeds the head family?

It’s over.

Truly a terrifying talent.

To think the power of the Hyuga Kekkei Genkai

would be passed on so strongly to a child of the branch family

who would never be able to be an heir.

Hizashi… You should have succeeded the Hyuga family.

I pressed the 64 Chakra Points all over your body…

You can’t even stand.

D-Dang it.

Are you frustrated?

Kneeling down before power that can’t be changed

and knowing your powerlessness.

Your dreams will come true if you just work hard.

That’s just an illusion.

Hey, Hinata. Are you okay?

Oh, man. I knew it.

Naruto.

Bushy brow…

Hinata.

D-Dang it.

Oh.

Naruto.

He… No way.

I told you, didn’t I…?

I don’t know when to give up.

No way.

Hey, you’re bleeding.

What’s wrong?

You’ve still got damage from the match.

Hinata… Hang in there.

I’ll take a look at her.

Who’re you?

I’m not suspicious or anything.

Stop already…

It’ll be the same even if you fight more than this.

I don’t have a grudge particularly against you.

S-Shut up…

Even if you say so, I have something against you.

What are you talking about?

Why…? Here you’re this strong…

Why did you, with a look like you’ve seen through it all,

go after Hinata mentally who was trying so hard?

It has nothing to do with you.

Mocking Hinata, selfishly labeling her a failure as you please.

Head family, branch family…

I don’t know what happened to you.

But I won’t forgive the jerk who’d call another person a failure.

Hey, you.

It’s okay. I’m a doctor.

Okay… Fine.

If you insist, I’ll tell you about the Hyuga’s destiny of hatred.

In the Hyuga head family, there’s a secret Ninjutsu

that’s been passed on from generation to generation.

That is the Curse Mark Arts.

Curse Mark Arts?

The Curse Mark represents a bird in a cage…

and it’s a mark of those who are bound to a destiny they can’t escape.

W-What’s…

...t-that mark?

One day when I was four years old,

this accursed mark was inscribed on my forehead with the Curse Mark Arts.

A large ceremony was held in the Village Hidden in Leaves on that day.

It was also the day when the head Ninja of the Land of Lightning,

the land that the Leaf had fought with for many years,

came for the conclusion of the allied treaty.

However, there was one clan…

who didn’t attend the ceremony that was attended

by everybody else, from Leaf Jonin to Genin.

It was the Hyuga clan…

And it’s because that day was the day of hope

when the head family heir was to turn three.

Miss Hinata’s third birthday!

My father, Hizashi Hyuga,

and Miss Hinata’s father who’s over there, Lord Hiashi Hyuga, were twin brothers.

However, Miss Hinata’s father, Lord Hiashi,

is the eldest son of the head family born into this world first.

And my father who was the second son is a member of the branch family.

So Miss Hinata is already three…

Congratulations.

Thank you.

She’s a cute girl, isn’t she, father?

What’s wrong, father?

Oh, it’s nothing.

Then…

I’ll be taking Neji under my care, Hizashi.

Yes.

When the head family heir grew and became three years old,

I had the Curse Mark imprinted on me and I became the bird in the cage.

And became the Hyuga branch family.

Why’s it necessary to do something like that?

Why separate into a head family and a branch family?

What does that weird mark mean?

This mark on my forehead isn’t just a decoration.

The pull of your legs is weak.

Yes.

Listen, Neji.

You will live to protect Miss Hinata of the head family

as well as the Hyuga power.

Yes, father.

Murderous Intent.

My head.

Father.

What’s wrong, father?

Go home. I’ll forgive the fool today only.

You’re not to forget your destiny.

This Curse Mark is the absolute fear called death so to speak…

that was given to the branch family by the head family.

The Secret Sign that the head family members form easily

destroys the cerebral nerves of those in the branch family.

Of course, killing is easy.

And this mark only goes away at time of death.

Sealing away the power of the Byakugan.

The Hyuga family is the clan that possesses the most distinctive Kekkei Genkai.

There’s no end to those who target the secret of that distinctive power.

In other words, this Curse Mark keeps the branch family alive

only to protect the head family and does not allow disobedience.

And it’s an effective system created to defend for eternity

the Kekkei Genkai called Byakugan.

And then, that incident occurred.

My father was killed by the head family.

One night, Miss Hinata was snatched up by someone.

At that time, Lord Hiashi immediately rushed off and killed the abductor.

Who do you think that person was…

who was in the shadows, and also wearing a mask?

It was the head ninja of the Land of Lightning

who had just completed the allied treaty.

It was clear that he came targeting the secret of Byakugan from the start.

However, the Land of Lightning exploited the killing of their own Ninja

due to a botched plan…

and set an outrageous condition in violation of the treaty with the Hidden Leaf.

Naturally, things got worse and worse,

and there was almost a war between the Leaf and the Lightning.

However, the Leaf who wanted to avoid war

made a deal with the Lightning.

A deal?

The Lightning demand was the body of the Hyuga head family

who possesses Byakugan, the Kekkei Genkai…

In other words, the body of Lord Hiashi.

And the Leaf accepted the condition.

What? But, father…

And war was safely avoided.

Thanks to my father who was killed as a body double of Hiashi Hyuga,

to protect the head family!

Other than dying, there’s no other way to escape this accursed Curse Mark.

Even though they were twins with nearly equal power,

their destinies were already set by who was born first and born later.

And then, this match…

Your destiny was decided at the point when I became your opponent.

One! First, Tyson jumps and slamdunks

Two! He kisses and hugs everyone randomly and says “I LOVE YOU”

Three! Masala masters Yoga but hates curry

Four! Sanchez is a lousy bullfighter. Ole!

All over the world, the sky’s smiling, so look up and smile too

Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Fight! Fight! Fight!

One! Bodimahattaya-san devotes his time for digging black ships

Two! Peking Duck, Action Scene, Chen Lee speeds around on his bike

Three! Popo loves to polish his Coteka

Four! Japanese people, now lend me you hand!

All over the world, the sky’s smiling, so look up and smile too

Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Fight! Fight! Fight!

All over the world, the sky’s smiling, so look up and smile too

Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Fight! Fight! Fight!

Are all my Chakra Points really closed?

Darn. I cannot feel any Chakra remaining in my body at all…

just like when I used up all my Chakra in my training with the Pervy Sage.

Wait. I got it. Just watch me!

I will squeeze out my Chakra no matter what!

Next time, “A Failure’s True Power.”
