This unnamed elder of Konohagakure's Hyūga clan is the previous head of the clan and father of Hiashi Hyūga and Hizashi Hyūga.[1]
Background
It was his idea to have Hizashi act as Hiashi's body double after the incident with the Head Ninja of Kumogakure.[2]
Personality
He has been shown to be very loyal to the clan putting the safety of the Byakugan and its secrets even above the life of his own son.[3] This fierce loyalty, however, comes off as callousness, and it often times seems that his only concern is protecting the clan's kekkei genkai at any cost.
Appearance
He has long grey hair that reaches down to his back. Like all members of his clan, he possesses featureless white eyes. He wears traditional robes, which consist of a loose fitting kimono that is held closed with a simple sash and a brown waist length cloak.
Abilities
Although nothing is known of the extent of his abilities it can be assumed that he was well verse in the clan's secret techniques as he was selected as head of the clan. He also has the Byakugan which grants him near 360° vision amongst other abilities.
Part II
Konoha History Arc
During the Invasion of Konoha, he along with other Konoha sinobi were defending the village from the invading Suna and Oto ninja. When he saw two Kumo ninja attempting to kidnap Hinata, he tried to rescue her however the two ninja escaped and he was attacked from behind by an Oto-nin. He was later found by Neji and when he regained consciousness, he asked Neji to do whatever it took to get Hinata back.
Quotes
- "The advanced blood of the Hyūga clan is a valuable trump card to this village. Protecting that has been the duty of the main family. That is why the branch families exist."
- (To Hiashi) "Hiashi… The time has come… each generation has protected the Hyūga blood in this way. You must have the heart to let go of even a sibling to protect the blood. That is the destiny of the main family and the destiny of those born as Hyūga."
