Naruto Universe. Shinobi Village Year 78.
After The Third Shinobi War long years of peace followed the Shinobi World but today strange screen appears in the sky catching everyone's attention. Currently, every Shinobi Villages have declared martial law and preparing themselves for potential war.
[Hyuga Clan is one of the three great shinobi clans that support Konoha village. Their specialized taijutsu Gentle Fist is both elegant and dangerous. Perhaps not as flashy as other clans taijutsu but it certainly has its charm.]
The screen then shows someone dressed in all white practicing moves of the gentle fist under the moonlight. His movements were fast enough to leave afterimages and swift enough to connect all his attacks without creating any openings. The face of the figure on the screen was blurred so viewers can't figure his identity out but it wasn't hard to figure out he was some unnamed member of Hyuga Clan.
'No cursed seal on his face so he is from the main house.' Hyuga Clan members thought to themselves. 'Even this mysterious phenomenon is favoring the main house huh?'
[But as the name suggests those fists are truly gentle compared to other taijutsu that can be only said brutal.]
Then it shows several other figures practicing other types of taijutsu styles. Viewers also notice that compared to other styles Hyuga is Gentle Fist is truly gentler and not so destructive as others.
"Guy-sensei look! Someone is practicing our Strong Fist!" Rock Lee points at the screen when he sees someone dressed the same as him and his teacher. Guy smirks at this showing his shiny white teeth after all who doesn't like to get recognized for their hard work? 'It seems like Strong Fist that our family created isn't so bad after all.'
[Thanks to their kekkei genkai Byakugan they were able to focus on hitting the enemy's weak points precisely rather than just general area. Making them develop their body in a direction that is more suitable to this style than common strong and muscular type bodies.]
Then screen shows the difference between muscle development of Gentle Fist users and other style users. The difference was great in their fighting style for example instead of creating big and sturdy muscle armor Gentle Fist users were more focused on their elasticity and flexibility so they could move their body more freely to hit more hidden points.
[But what if someone from Hyuga Clan decides that the current Gentle Fist isn't for him.]
Suddenly image of a Hyuga Clan member practicing Gentle Fist cracks as if something hit it. "What?! Who dares to insult our Gentle Fist?!" One of Hyuga Clan's main house members said in disbelief.
[By his words: "The Gentle Fist that overly relies on Byakugan forces us the branch house to be inferior to the main house because the cursed seal they put on us. They created artificial blind spots for us because of that they will always be superior to us in the aspect of Byakugan. I can't accept this! I will make my own Gentle Fist-no! I will create my own fist that can make us the branch house to be equal with the main house!"]
Even more cracks appear on the image.
"Just as expected! It's those disgusting branch houses!" Main house members start getting furious. "Silent!" Hiashi Hyūga the current leader of the Hyuga Clan said in a serious tone. "Don't make any sudden judgment based on something unreliable as this."
[So he decided to do something unthinkable for the proud members of the Hyuga Clan. He abandoned the way of Gentle Fist instead he started practicing other taijutsu styles. Reshaping his body and perfecting his fist using what he learned from other styles. By taking the principles of the most powerful seven taijutsu styles he mastered he created and perfected his own fist! The Big Dipper God Fist (Hokuto Shin Ken)!]
Finally image shatters into pieces revealing the formidable figure of a man dressed in a strange leather suit. He was tall-no! He was huge! His muscles that's developed to the extreme were bulging barely being contained by his suit. His face was still under the shadow hidden from the viewers yet they could see two pale eyes staring at them to their souls.
"I see, so he named his style Big Dipper by showing respect to the original seven styles he took the inspiration from. Seven stars of the north huh, in ancient times people believed that it represented a revolution. Truly fitting name to taijutsu style that is created to oppose the main house of the Hyuga Clan." Third Hokage Hiruzen whispers to himself while nodding his head.
Suddenly video on the screen turns gray and stops playing instead big notification appears.
[Question: Who is the Hyuga Clan member who created Tha Big Dipper Fist Style?]

This time small holographic screens appear in front of everyone in Shinobi World making them surprised.
…
Uzumaki Naruto: Hello Konoha! This is your future Hokage speaking!

Sakura Haruno: You don't need to scream everything you typing! Stupid Naruto!
Fourth Raikage A: Huh? Konoha this is one of your ploys?
Fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei: Of course it is. Why else would this thing first things first show one of Konoha's major clans?
Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen: We Konoha can swear this screen has nothing to do with us. We're surprised as you guys are.
Third Tsuchikage Onoki: Yeah, likely story.

Yamanaka Inoichi: Ino don't use it carelessly we don't know what it does.
Yamanaka Ino: I got it, Dad.
Nara Shikaku: Let's focus on the quest for now shall we? Arguing here won't solve anything.
Fourth Raikage A: Isn't this Nara Clan Konoha's clan of strategists.
Third Tsuchikage Onoki: Even though I don't wanna listen to Konoha perhaps that's the best option we have.

…
Suddenly the chat group gets filled with various messages from members of Hyuga Clan's branch house. Tenten who saw this looks at a certain member of their team. "Neji you sure you don't wanna answer with your name? You might be the one you know?"
"No need, I know myself better than anyone. I will never make a decision like that." Hyuga Neji said it in a cold tone before continues training his Gentle Fist.
"If you won't then I will!" Tenten said with a mischievous smile which Neji ignored saying: "Do what you wanna do."
Soon Hyuga Clan's branch house ran out of members that was willing to answer the question. Using that moment Tenten sends her answer.
…
Tenten: Answer: Hyuga Neji!
Uzumaki Naruto: Not Hinata's relative this time?
[Participant [Tenten] answered correctly.]
Tenten: Eh? I got right?
Fourth Raikage A: Huh? Who is this girl?
Hyuga Hinata: Brother Neji is the creator of this new style?!
Hyuga Hiashi: Hizashi is the son?
[Participant [Tenten] may choose your reward after the end of this question session.]
Tenten: I wonder what's the reward is?
…
[Since the question is successfully answered let's leave the chat function open and continue our session.]
Soon paused video on the screen continues playing.
[Hyuga Neji is the founder of The Big Dipper God Fist aka The Fist Of Northern Star. Born as a member of the Hyuga's branch house and lost his father unjustly during his childhood he started harboring resentment towards the main house. By the teaching of the main family, he is forced to bury his resentment deep inside his heart using the excuse of fate.]
The screen then shows Neji's childhood like the death of his father and his getting tormented by the main house which used the cursed seal on his head. Seeing this most of the people couldn't help but show a look of disgust.
Neji clinches his fist in anger making his teammates and teacher worried.
…
Fourth Raikage A: Hyuga Clan you are truly ruthless.
Hyuga Zen: Our clan matter isn't anything of your concern.
Fourth Kazekage Rose: I thought I was hard enough on my children but it seems like compared to you guys I was truly kind-hearted.
Gaara: …
…
[Even so, the deep resentment he possesses only grows stronger preparing to explode once he starts showing any kind of weakness. Neji who tried to cover that darkness with all his might using the facade of the Hyuga clan's branch house is an unbeaten genius and the excuse of him being fated to be unbeatable deep down knows this is never the right way but didn't dare to face that fact. After all, no matter how mature he acted deep down he is still a child who still cries after his parents.]
The screen keeps showing Neji's childhood until he graduates the shinobi academy and is assigned to Team Guy.
[Even if he became genin nothing much changed, he was still the genius he was, the strongest one of his teachers except their teacher. Never failing the mission assigned to them and always keeping the perfect record till that fateful day.]
Neji frowns as he hears the last part of what the system says it gives him an ominous feeling. Currently, everything the screen showed was exactly what happened to him throughout his life perhaps there is truly something magical about this screen.
…
"Rock Lee VS Hyuga Neji!" The proctor of the third exam, Hayate Gekkō words echoed through the arena as the two teammates landed in the middle of the arena.
"I have been waiting for this fight Neji." Lee takes his fighting stance.
"Hmph, don't bother getting excited Lee because it will be the same as before." Neji takes his fighting stance too.
"This time I will prove to you that the hard worker can beat the genius."
…
Seeing this scene Neji directly understood what happened. "I-impossible…"
The screen doesn't show the full fight and directly skips to the part where Lee stands victorious while Neji lies down on the ground beaten.
[Rock Lee, his teammate who always lost to him before has surpassed him before he even realized. Completely shattering the barrier that was containing his true emotions giving him the wake-up call.]
Neji clenched his fist with even more strength making his palm bleed as he saw what happened.
…
Hyuga Hinata: Brother Neji…
Sarutobi Asuma: I see, so it must have been a huge shock to his young mind.
…
[His defeat against Rock Lee made him lost and angry. He was angry towards Rock Lee for winning against him, the Hyuga Clan for making his life miserable, and most importantly himself for being so powerless.]
Neji who is suffering from psychological shock loses his ability to fight, train, and eat. Becoming a shell of his former self.
[So in his desperation he decided to do something he never would have done otherwise. He imitates Rock Lee, training the way he did, imitating moves he used, and completely abandoning the Gentle Fist he trained all his life. He exchanged the elegant and flexible blows of Gentle Fist for the blows that were rough but powerful ones.]
We saw Neji seeing phantoms of Rock Lee and Might Guy how they were training and the moves they used he followed them and with that, he slowly started recovering. Viewers can also see that obvious change appearing on Neji that appears on the screen.
[Slowly but surely he started changing, his loss to Rock Lee turned on something that was sleeping deep inside him. Fueled by his resentment towards himself and the world brought him unbelievable growth.]
The screen shows that Neji has grown exponentially during his training both in skill and physically. He now can do every move Rock Lee did perfectly and even better.
[His journey didn't end there he visited the other clans seeking advice from them and started absorbing their skills.]
The video continues showing his growth and journey how he visited various clans and shinobis to learn their styles and fuse them with his style.
