Chapter 211: Hiashi's Arrival

- What's going on here?! Who are you?! - Immediately asked Hiashi menacingly, gradually lowering his tone, realizing the situation around and seeing the menacing look of his old man, and then realizing the reason. As soon as he met these fiery eyes, hot sweat appeared on Hiashi's back, his head seemed to be dipped into hot springs, and he was not the only one here who faced something like this. Everyone around was sweating, the air temperature changing from the mere presence of Shikamaru.

- Hmm, you yourself directed your man to me. Did you want to see me? Well, here I am, what now? Shikamaru glanced coldly at the man in front of him. In general, he looked a bit like the version of himself Shikamaru remembered. Of course, better and more lively, courageous and noble.

Hinata's father was dressed in a traditional kimono, much like the other elders around him. Well, his appearance was not very different from the rest. The mode of the Path of the Sun had its effect on him, he could not resist such a burning chakra light, mixed with a special concentration of physical energy and an awareness of a rather high form of the Yang element. Of course, Shikamaru's life force alone has long surpassed Hashirama, let alone other people. He simply could give his chakra different properties, and thanks to the new Dojutsu spawned by the Byakugan and Ranmaru's blood, something special came out. Shikamaru could literally burn everything in his path with his solar chakra. This was not Tenseigan's mode, but the new Dojutsu, thanks to sweeping away with the Byakugan, gave rise to a truly amazing mutation. Now there is no doubt that the Byakugan is special. The eyes of the Sun Shikamaru clearly demonstrated his potential for development.

Shikamaru's cold tone was like a sash of water for the leader of the Hyuuga, he thought for only a second, and then blurted out in amazement:

- Sh-shikamaru ?! Are you ... Are you Shikamaru Nara ?!

- Perhaps now just Shikamaru. I left the clan, so all my actions apply only to me and to you Hyuuga. I decided to return your impudent man to the clan, but who would have thought that such an insolent elder would decide to meet me. - tilting his head slightly, Shikamaru seemed to pierce every obstacle in his path, grinning.

- Looks like I haven't calculated my strength, poor fellow ... My Gentle Fist is not that soft, haha!

All the Hyuuga's faces changed when they heard the guy's taunt. Gentle Fist ?! If this was indeed the power of Gentlefist, then what the hell has been trained by its clan owners all these years ?!

- You ... - Hiashi gritted his teeth: - First you pulled your paws to my daughter, and now you attacked my people! I don't care if you have a clan or not, but this ... You decided to declare yourself a boy ?! Challenge the strongest clan in Konoha ?! And your guts are not thin!

Shikamaru raised an eyebrow with a grin.

- O? So the Hyuuga is the strongest clan, huh? After the extinction of the Uchiha, you can really throw such loud statements. But old man, who cares about your clan. ”Shikamaru chuckled,“ Bring me at least ten thousand Hyūga, are you sure you can prevent me from being with Hinata? ” For me, it’s better for her to decide this issue herself, without you. Because if you decided to get into our affairs with her and weave a clan here ...

Shikamaru's face changed abruptly, the golden chakra circling around him raged violently and heat enveloped all the people around, everyone in sweat abruptly took a few steps back and everyone's eyes filled with fear. This is the first time they have seen something like this!

- The clan, or are you personally ready to oppose me ?! - Considering the indecision on Hiashi's face, Shikamaru just grunted and weakened his aura: - That's nice! Now get out of the way! If you have any complaints, I am always at your service, but do not think that I will be gentle! The strongest clan can quickly become the weakest!

With a wave of his hand, Shikamaru walked towards the congestion of Jonin, but as if at the behest of some order, they began to disperse to the sides, opening the way for him. Not only were they afraid to face the burning chakra, rather they were afraid to just face Shikamaru. They were not fools, each of them present was an experienced clan jonin. For the first time in their lives, they saw such a terrifying adversary in front of them. In Taijutsu, fighting him is simply the worst decision ...

As Shikamaru left the encirclement, suddenly a furious tone was heard.

- To stand!

Everyone stared at Hiashi in amazement, many even had the urge to stop him. This disaster was just about to go away, but he decided to prevent it?

Hiashi stepped out into the middle of the encirclement and resolutely peered at Shikamaru's back.

- I acknowledge your strength. You scared everyone here, it's impressive!

Everyone looked down at once, only a few of the elders nodded gloomily. Some of them lived in the times of Tobirami and even saw Hashirama, for them this is not surprising - they knew very well that there are people who can easily destroy their clan alone and not sweat. But no one could have thought that it would be someone from the Nara clan, and even a completely unknown person. Moreover, he encroached on their future head, the Hyuuga heiress! It just didn't fit in my head. Of course, those who wanted to resist immediately appeared, but naturally they could not open their mouths at the moment, not only because of the strength demonstrated by this person, but also because of the actions of the head of the clan ... As soon as Shikamaru stopped, Hiashi threw off green cape and tightened his belt, quickly getting into the Gentle Fist Stance and activating the Byakugan.

“I can't believe my daughter's age could look like this ... I never believed that you were the same Shikamaru, but I don’t think you’re lying.” At thirteen years old, to have such power, it is simply unthinkable ...

Shikamaru gave the man a bored look. His confession looked like an empty phrase, and now he also decided to fight? Don't be Hinata's father ...

All the Jonin and even the elders looked at each other in shock, staring at Shikamaru, whose aura had drastically weakened, and he returned to his previous state. Only the veins in front of his eyes continued to pulsate, now all of those present were again surprised.

- B-byakugan ...

- Does he have a Byakugan?

- How is this possible ...

Although he was gray, all the features clearly indicated that Shikamaru was the bearer of the legendary Dojutsu Hyuga, which they always cherished as the main treasure.

Even Hiashi widened his eyes in shock, peering into Shikamaru's face with his dojutsu, noticing the frantic chakra flowing towards his eyes.

Shikamaru turned around and nodded slightly with a smile. His former aggression and domineering vanished without a trace. The furious chakra that infuriated the weather immediately disappeared and the dark clouds immediately began to dissipate:

- I myself would be surprised if I were in your place. My growth is just the result of development. A child's weak body cannot support my strength, so he had to grow up faster. Don't worry, I won't touch Hinata with a finger if you suddenly think about something. I see you are reasonable, since you didn’t rush to me like a madman. But if you want to fight, I guess it's okay. Proud fathers are like ...

Hiashi said gloomily:

`` I don't know where you got your Byakugan ... Maybe ...

Shikamaru understood everything and immediately replied:

- I awakened him. That's all you need to know, even if I stole them, it won't change anything. I surpassed the Byakugan and opened the Eyes of the Sun!

- Eyes ... of the sun? Hiashi nodded grimly. "I guess it's because of this heat?"

Shikamaru just smiled.

“I don’t think now is the time to talk about it. But you can be sure that this clan will not be able to give Hinata what I am capable of. In any case, she has to choose to be with me or not.

“That's how it is,” displeased, but Hiashi quickly realized the situation. If he had been a violent and narrow-minded father, everything could have been different and now the Hyuga clan would have faced a disaster, and then, perhaps in time, the Hokage with the Anbu squad would have been forced to intervene in everything. But, Hiashi was not in vain considered one of the wisest leaders of the Hyuuga, he did not stir up the conflict even if Shikamaru treated them rudely. Indeed, in some ways, he himself was wrong, thinking that Shikamaru was just some impudent boy who encroached on his daughter. Now everything has changed, to challenge such a person is not a particularly good idea. He was a thirteen-year-old genius with the strength to fight the mass of Jonin alone, even if they had a chance, this fight would bring nothing but shame. In addition, in fact, Hiashi did not have any confidence in victory at all. But, as a father, he had to test Shikamaru in battle!

- If you plan to be with my daughter, you will not refuse the paternal check, will you?

- O? “Shikamaru envisioned a similar outcome. This man was not a coward, even faced with such a danger, he stepped forward. In any case, Shikamaru was already beginning to get annoyed, and he simply nodded. “You can attack.

“Hmm,” Hiashi jerked to the front and struck a lash with his palm, while Shikamaru responded in kind by striking his palm in his direction. Neither fast nor slow - just a normal Soft Palm attack. He was not going to overthrow the head of an entire clan in front of his people. If it was some arrogant and unknown type, he would have finished him well and his entire clan would have paid in full, but since this is Hinata's father, Shikamaru was still gentle.
