"Pika!"

Pikachu stood in front of Hinata with its tiny hands on its hips, indicating that it wouldn't allow them to continue their bullying.

"Alright, alright..."

Hinata knew that if Pikachu didn't step in, she wouldn't be able to leave, so she finally said weakly, "Then… be careful."

"Pika!"

The leader of the ruffian kids sneered. "Oh? This little pet wants to fight? Hahaha!"

The other children burst into laughter.

"What's it going to do? Bite us? Oh no, so scary! Hahaha!"

Pikachu had endured enough mockery. With a sharp cry, it leaped into the air, electricity crackling around it.

"Pika—CHUUU!"

A streak of golden lightning shot straight at the leader of the group, electrocuting him on the spot. His body convulsed violently before he collapsed, twitching uncontrollably.

The remaining kids stood frozen, their eyes wide with terror.

"W-What?! That thing just used lightning?!"

"RUN!"

Without a second thought, the others turned and fled, abandoning their fallen comrade.

"Pika pika~" Pikachu landed back on Hinata's shoulder, proudly seeking praise from its master.

Hinata blinked in surprise, then gently stroked Pikachu's fur. "That was amazing!"

Those kids had bullied her for years, taking her food and making fun of her. No matter how much she complained, her father always dismissed it, saying, "A Hyūga should be able to handle their own problems."

For the first time, someone had stood up for her.

And that someone was Pikachu.

Hinata's heart swelled with warmth.

But then—

"Oh no! Evening training is about to start!"

She gasped, glancing at the dimming sky. The Hyūga clan had strict rules—every night, all members had to attend mandatory training under her father's supervision.

If she was late, her father would be furious.

Hyūga Clan Training Hall—

Hiashi Hyūga watched a group of clan members spar in the courtyard. His sharp gaze scanned the participants, but his brows furrowed.

"Where is Hinata?"

A maid hesitated before responding. "Lord Hiashi… Lady Hinata has not yet returned."

"Humph." Hiashi's expression darkened. Late to training? How undisciplined.

Hinata had always been a disappointment—weak, timid, and lacking in the strength befitting the heir of the Hyūga Clan.

Meanwhile, his younger daughter, Hanabi, sparred fiercely, knocking down an opponent twice her size.

Hiashi nodded approvingly.

Hanabi was the true heir of the Hyūga.

At that moment—

"I-I'm sorry I'm late!"

Hinata burst into the courtyard, panting heavily.

Hiashi's gaze turned cold. "You are late to training… and you dare to show up in this state?"

Hinata shrank under his glare. "I-I apologize…"

Hanabi approached, giving Hinata a determined look. "Sister, let's spar."

Hinata hesitated, but she knew this was unavoidable. "Yes, please go easy on me."

"Byakugan!"

With a shout, Hanabi activated her Byakugan and charged forward.

Hinata also activated her Byakugan, but she was quickly overwhelmed. Hanabi's speed and precision forced her backward until—

BAM!

A final palm strike sent Hinata flying out of the sparring ring.

Hiashi sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. Pathetic.

Even when Hanabi went easy on her, Hinata still couldn't hold her ground.

Hinata groaned, struggling to push herself up.

"Enough," Hiashi said, standing up. "This is pointless."

Hinata flinched.

"Stand up," he ordered.

Hinata obeyed, though her legs trembled.

"Attack me with everything you have."

She hesitated. "F-Father, I—"

"Now."

Hinata took a deep breath, gathering what little courage she had left. Then—she lunged forward.

BAM!

Before she could react, Hiashi countered effortlessly, sending her flying once more.

"Again."

Hinata clenched her teeth and stood up.

BAM!

"Again."

Each time, Hiashi struck her down, his voice growing colder.

After multiple attempts, Hinata collapsed, unable to rise.

Hiashi looked down at her with disappointment.

"Even after becoming a Genin, you are still this weak."

Hinata's heart clenched.

Her father had already given up on her.

Tears welled up in her eyes. "I… I'm sorry."

"Do not cry," Hiashi snapped.

Hinata quickly wiped her tears.

Hiashi turned away. She is not fit to lead the clan.

But—

"P-Please!"

Hinata's voice suddenly rang out.

Hiashi stopped in his tracks.

"Please… give me another chance!"

Something was different.

For the first time, there was no fear in Hinata's eyes. Only determination.

Hiashi's eyes narrowed.

Hinata took a deep breath. I can't stay weak forever.

She thought back to Pikachu standing up for her, refusing to let her be bullied.

Even Pikachu had more courage than her.

If Pikachu could be strong… then why couldn't she?

Steeling herself, Hinata lifted her hands into a stance.

Hiashi's gaze flickered.

This stance… was not Gentle Fist.

Her posture was unfamiliar, yet… strangely threatening.

Hinata tightened her grip. Her Byakugan flared.

She pointed her index and middle fingers forward.

"Father… I'm coming!"

For the first time in his life—Hiashi Hyūga felt a faint sense of danger from his own daughter.
