Late at night, in the study of the Hyuga Clan's estate.
"Rakawa, tomorrow I'm arranging for you to go to the Ninja Academy. I'm entrusting everything to you. As for that other matter, let fate decide."
Hiashi Hyuga, the current head of the Hyuga Clan's Main Family, spoke these words. Several other high-ranking members of the Hyuga Clan were also present in the study.
Standing before Hiashi Hyuga was Rakawa, currently the most secretive person within the clan. His appearance was slightly similar to Neji Hyuga, but his eyes were black.
Rakawa's heart remained calm, suppressing a strange desire within him. He knew this day would eventually come.
"I will go tomorrow."
***
**Konoha Ninja Academy, inside a slightly noisy classroom.**
Hyuga Rakawa walked in from outside the classroom. The Chunin Sensei at the podium nodded at him and said, "This is our new classmate, Hyuga Rakawa. Everyone, please give him a round of applause."
A sparse round of applause echoed through the classroom. Rakawa calmly scanned the students. This was his class, and a few students, either strong or of special status, piqued his interest.
Eight-year-old Hyuga Rakawa looked like a child on the outside, but his soul was actually that of a young man in his twenties.
Transmigrated into this world, Rakawa's identity was that of a member of the Hyuga Clan's Branch Family, but a rather special one—the only Branch Family member not branded with the Caged Bird Seal.
The moment he was born, his father quickly sought out the Main Family head, and then a shocking scene unfolded.
A newborn baby, with blood vessels protruding around his white eyes, and faint Chakra fluctuations, had been born with activated Byakugan.
This news was quickly and strictly sealed. Rakawa naturally survived in this world. However, three days after his birth, tragic news arrived: both his parents died in battle after executing a mission. He became an orphan, raised by a Branch Family elder.
From a young age, Rakawa displayed a calmness, wisdom, and mindset far beyond his peers, often making the elder who raised him feel as if he were conversing with a clear-headed young man.
His Byakugan had turned into black pupils shortly after birth, and he could activate his Byakugan at any time. This wasn't what astonished him. What was truly special was that after activating his eyes, whenever he saw a member of the Main Family, he would feel a crazy urge to devour them, or perhaps to devour something.
From the moment this desire appeared, he began to frantically train his Byakugan's abilities, intensely developing its power.
Because he knew one thing very clearly: ordinary Byakugan did not have this feeling. This strange Byakugan was by no means comparable to an ordinary one.
Besides his eyes, Rakawa harbored another secret unknown to others: three elemental affinities.
Earth, Wind, and Fire—three affinities that could simultaneously undergo nature transformation, filled with infinite possibilities.
Eight years had passed, causing no small stir within the Hyuga Clan, though outsiders remained unaware. Rarely leaving the clan, he was seen by outsiders as nothing more than a useless Hyuga without the Byakugan, an object of ridicule.
But he didn't care. What others thought or how they viewed him was irrelevant. He only needed to improve his own strength.
Just last night, Hiashi Hyuga assigned him a task and informed him of certain matters, which was why he was now at the Ninja Academy.
The Chunin Sensei beside him saw Rakawa's unresponsiveness and awkwardly said, "Rakawa, why don't you introduce yourself?"
Rakawa nodded slightly and said, "Hyuga Rakawa. I dislike noise. My interests are confidential."
The Chunin Sensei's forehead dripped with sweat, and his mouth twitched. He lamented inwardly, *What kind of introduction is that? Is he trying to act cool?*
The other students also had strange expressions. *Why are there always so many people who like to act cool?* Though some people were certainly impressed by it.
"He's so handsome, like a Prince Charming."
A group of little girls under ten years old had stars in their eyes, turning into fangirls.
Others were displeased, particularly the boys in the class.
"What's the big deal? He's just a little handsome. I'm not bad either."
"He's still far from as handsome as me. Why should he get all the attention? Can being handsome feed you?"
Raw jealousy. If the teacher hadn't been present, they would have loved to tear that handsome face off and stomp on it.
Another person sneered, "So he's just a Hyuga Clan failure, a failure without even the Byakugan. The Hyuga Clan is pretty much finished, how laughable."
Rakawa's eyes swept over him at these words, glinting like cold lightning.
*Whoosh!*
In an instant, Rakawa's figure by the podium vanished into thin air, appearing directly beside the speaker. A finger pressed against the person's left shoulder.
The speaker's voice died down, and cold sweat dripped relentlessly down his cheeks.
The classroom fell silent, an eerie stillness.
Even the Chunin Sensei at the podium was stunned by this scene, his eyes filled with obvious disbelief.
"Body Flicker Technique? This kid actually..."
"No, impossible. It must just be normal movement. He's a Hyuga, so that must be it."
The Chunin Sensei desperately searched for reasons to cover his shock, but found no plausible excuse.
Rakawa coldly looked at the back of the person in front of him and said chillingly, "Silence doesn't mean you can insult freely. Next time, be careful, Uchiha brat."
The Uchiha fan crest represented his identity, representing a powerful faction.
"Rakawa, that's enough!"
The Chunin Sensei snapped back to reality and immediately shouted. The Rakawa before him was undoubtedly a genius, but that Uchiha was also a genius. If anything happened to either of them, he would be in trouble.
If he didn't stop the situation from escalating, something terrible would happen.
He could clearly see Chakra threads emitting a faint white glow at the tip of the finger pressed against the shoulder.
The Hyuga Clan, a Taijutsu powerhouse.
Rakawa glanced at him, then calmly withdrew his finger.
The silent class erupted as he withdrew his finger. Even the boys who had been clearly ill-intentioned earlier were now subdued.
"So scary, so fast."
"I couldn't even see him move."
"He actually subdued an Uchiha genius in one move. *This* is a true genius."
The girls were even more frantic. Handsome, cool, strong—every condition for a prince was met.
Fugaku Uchiha, subdued in one move, still couldn't stop his pupils from trembling. It was terror, but also rage.
In that instant, half his body had gone numb, unable to exert any strength. Cold sweat had already soaked his clothes.
Rage. As the young clan head of the Uchiha, he had been subdued in one move by a Hyuga failure, without even the ability to resist. The Uchiha Clan's face had been utterly disgraced.
Hyuga Rakawa, he would never rest until he had his revenge!
