"Wrong, she become a collateral to a rich man so that, Hyuga Clan will prosper more than anyone using that man's power," He said as he took off his head band and undid the wrapping to reveal his forehead. There was no seal. All the Jounins was shock with what happen.

"Rock Lee, file me an explanation why you didn't tell me about this!" Naruto coldly said. Lee gulp but bow more guilt rise to his heart because of this.

"I will," Lee said and look fearfully to the main hall.

"I am the heir to the Hyuga clan," He said simply with a cruel smile at her shocked expression.

"After you were banished, the seal was removed from my forehead and I was named heir. I now see that fate decided that I should be the heir to the clan and that you would be nothing but a simple commoner. If you had given up being a ninja then there wouldn't be a problem, but instead you continued on and became a ninja. You go on missions and anyone who sees you sees the way you fight, the way you act, and it is an taint to the image of the clan. And as the Clan heir, I despise you Hinata, for you do not know your place. You act like your Naruto, both loser," He said with a look of pure hatred. Hiruzen eyes widen. Neji just disrespect a Hokage.

Even if he didn't have an official title, he was still a Hokage in name. What kind of traitorous act is this? What happen to the Hyuga Clan now? Hiruzen just took pity to Hiashi and Hyuga Clan.

"No, the seal can only be transfer specially on her notes. So it mean..." Naruto look worriedly to Hinata. Sasuke knows what he was saying as they both know the history behind the Cage Bird Seals.

Every one of the leaf genin was stunned.

"Hinata's Cage Bird Seal is Neji's former seal," Sasuke said seriously. He can't help but to feel disgust. And now, he knows that Naruto will take steps from what happen. Clan rules be damn.

'I'll grind you so much, Hiashi. You'll regret abusing the Seal Mito-Hime did. I made mistake before, now, Hinata-Hime will suffer because of this mistake. I should have move before,' Naruto thought in anger. He wanted nothing more than to punch Neji in the face, but he thought that it would be better if Hinata did it.

Neji then felt a kunai slice past his left arm, cutting it as it passed. He looked at Hinata and saw a fire burning in her eyes. There was no meekness, no hint of fear, only anger.

"Shut up! I am tired of listening to you. Before I left the clan I always thought that the branch family was treated unfairly and I desperately wanted to change that. I may have lost my chance but it doesn't matter. I used to think that you were a kind person that was hurting inside, but I see that you have become corrupted by your thoughts of fate and the main branch. You may say what you want to me Neji, but don't you dare insult Naruto-kun!" She yelled as she rushed in to attack.

Neji smiled as he readied himself, the kunai had barely cut his arm and the pain was small.

"So you're finally ready to fight? Good I want you to learn that fate can't be fought. You will lose here," He said as she was suddenly upon him.

He dodged a punch to the face, only to feel a hard kick land in his unprotected side. He swiftly recovered and attempted to hit her in the face, but she once again sidestepped as she did before. This time, however, she counterattacked by grabbing his outstretched arm and held it up as she punched him in his now unprotected side. The blow had caught Neji in the ribs and he was momentarily stunned. Hinata took advantage and, still grasping his hand, flipped him over her shoulder. The frostbite that Hinata created to shot Neji become more and more painful to Neji.

Neji rose up with a fierce look on his face. He rushed in again and attacked with everything he had. Hinata was taken by surprise by his new found speed and aggressive style. He felt as if he was seeing a tiger right now. Whereas before he was treating her lightly, he was now proving why he was claimed to be the genius of the Hyuga clan. His strikes were swift and deadly, but Hinata held her own. She was no longer able to dodge every strike but was able to minimize the damage by letting his blows land on her forearms and elbows. She knew she couldn't take a hit to the chest or any important joint as a blow to a joint, such as the shoulder, would leave the entire arm immobile, and a blow to the chest would end the match. She noticed something strange with her arms and jumped back.

She pulled up the sleeves of her indigo jacket and noticed that a few of her tenketsu were blocked.

"I see you finally figure it out," Neji said with a slight pant.

"I realized that you were taking the blows to your arms whenever you could so I decided to shut off you tenketsu in your arms. Eventually you won't be able to move them at all," but he didn't know that Hinata plan all of this. She just slightly adjust her skills and leave many flaws to her Taijutsu consciously. It is to create way for her victory. An embarrassing victory.

"That may be, but I won't need them for much longer," She said as she attacked before he could question her. Using her own Medical Ninjutsu, she heal herself while attacking Neji. This kind of Battle Tactics was too amazing as it both need a complete concentration. But looking to Hinata, she waa doing this two as if it is her Natural Reflexes. Without struggle, without a sign of depletion.

Sakura look to Hinata with envy. She also want to have that kind of control.

She was once again on him, but now she was being very careful to dodge all of his attacks, however this required her to devote all of her energy to dodging and thus she couldn't counter attack.

'How can she do that? It was like she was regenerating her energy while attacking me,' Neji wondered as she once again avoided a strike to her chest. She was weaving through his attacks, and while she was not getting tired, Neji was feeling the beginnings of fatigue. Her blows had hurt, and her attack was enough to toy him. Clearly, Hinata had the advantage to their fight. Suddenly Neji felt his entire left arm go numb.

'What!' He thought as it fell to his side and Hinata rushed in to attack. With only one arm, Neji was unable to mount enough defense and Hinata landed blow after blow to his head and chest. Neji jumped back after in an attempt to regain feeling in his arm. A blue crystal form to his arm. To small but hurt Neji even more.

He took out the small crystal to his arm as Hinata smirk. Neji looked at his arm with his byakugan to see if she had somehow been able to strike his tenketsu and shut his arm down. However, upon close inspection he could see no disruption in his chakra path way. Confusion become visible to Neji's eyes.
