Blue electric arcs flickered and danced across Hiashi Hyuga's body, which trembled continuously. The hair on his head had become incredibly fluffy, almost like a miniature afro... White foam bubbled from the corners of his mouth, trailing down his face. His skin was charred black, even faintly emitting a scent of cooked flesh... He had completely lost consciousness. Because the speed of lightning was comparable to the speed of light, and although Hiashi Hyuga possessed Byakugan eyes, he didn't know Observation Haki, so he couldn't possibly dodge the lightning strike from the sky. Judging by his current state, it would likely take at least several days for him to wake up.
An arm retracted from Hinata's side. The surroundings fell into a profound silence... Hinata's expression was one of utter bewilderment. She looked at her chest, then at Hiashi Hyuga, who had been knocked unconscious by the lightning. She felt this was a bit beyond her expectations; she had absolutely not anticipated such an event. And at this very moment... Hinata also knew who the other person was. Although the other person's entire body was charred black from the lightning strike, Hinata could still recognize him. This man, twitching on the ground... wasn't he her own father?! Hiashi Hyuga, head of the Hyuga clan!! Although his skin was now blackened, and he had an afro, and even foam oozed from the corners of his mouth, Hinata was still certain that this man was her father. This made her even more flustered, her mind completely blank.
What kind of situation is this?! She returned home and was attacked by her father... Just as she was about to be defeated, Guardian Spirit Brother suddenly extended his hand. Then a lightning bolt descended from the sky. And then there was nothing more... Could it have been Guardian Spirit Brother's doing?! That was probably the only explanation! Although the sky was now gloomy, looking like it would rain at any moment, lightning shouldn't be so precise as to strike her father directly. This meant that the lightning bolt that just came down... was it controlled by Guardian Spirit Brother?! That power to control lightning... only ninja could do that, right?! But Guardian Spirit Brother had seemingly told her before that he wasn't a ninja. He didn't even know Ninjutsu.
The thunderclap caused by the lightning strike attracted many people's attention. Many Hyuga clan members rushed over... and then they saw their twitching, collapsed clan head—Hiashi Hyuga. Many of them reacted just like Hinata Hyuga. They were completely confused about what was happening. Their minds were almost blank. Clan Head... Clan Head, he... he seems to have inexplicably fainted?! And what's with the afro?! Is this the Clan Head's new hairstyle? So... so trendy... At this moment, a Hyuga clan medical ninja approached and observed for a bit, then his pupils constricted: "The Clan Head has fainted! And from his appearance, it seems he was electrocuted."
Everyone: "???" They collectively looked up at the gloomy sky. Then, recalling the thunderclap that had just echoed through the clouds, everyone instantly understood. Could the Clan Head have been struck by lightning?! It seemed to be the only explanation. Immediately, the entire Hyuga clan was in a flurry. After all, the head of the Hyuga clan had been knocked unconscious by lightning, was foaming at the mouth, and remained comatose, his life still hanging in the balance. In such a situation, how could the Hyuga clan not panic?! After all, Hiashi Hyuga was currently the most powerful ninja in the Hyuga clan. And this news absolutely had to be kept secret. Otherwise, if it spread... the entire Konoha would probably laugh at the Hyuga clan. The pride of the Hyuga clan would never allow such a thing to happen, so the news had to be sealed off. The only two people present who knew the truth were Hinata Hyuga and Liu Chen. But Hinata, with a tacit understanding, said nothing. It was as if she knew nothing at all. A perfect little actress.
And the unconscious Hiashi Hyuga, although he knew he had been knocked out by lightning, had no idea who had done it. Of course, even after he woke up, he would never suspect Hinata Hyuga. Although Hinata had indeed completely impressed him, a nine-year-old girl... to instantly knock him, a Jonin, unconscious. That would be a bit too unbelievable. It was absolutely impossible for such a thing to happen.
Watching Hiashi Hyuga being carried away by the medical ninja, Hinata couldn't help but ask Liu Chen inwardly, worriedly, "Guardian Spirit Brother, Father... Father should be alright, right?! He looks... he looks like he was electrocuted very badly." Liu Chen shook his head: "With his physique, he'll probably wake up in three days." Hinata let out a slight sigh of relief... Although that man was somewhat pedantic and rigid, he was still her father. Although she knew her father wouldn't harm her under
