When Hiashi Hyuuga first appeared in Naruto, the stoic, often harsh ninja ran the Hyuga Clan with a serious lack of compassion, often turning a blind eye to his nephew, Neji, and focusing on his daughter Hinata. In the early arcs of the anime, Neji attempted to prove himself to his uncle and leader of his clan by defeating Hinata during the Chunin Exams and rise his rank within the Hidden Leaf Village of Konoha.
Amazingly, Hyuuga has turned into an amazing grandfather, with his visits to Naruto and Hinata’s family being a welcome arrival as both Boruto and Himawari cannot wait to see their grampy whenever he rolls to their house. What specifically will happen on Hyuuga’s birthday is yet to be seen, but it is sure to be a hilarious outing regardless.

Originally created by Masashi Kishimoto for Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump in 1999, Naruto follows a young ninja, with a sealed demon within him, that wishes to become the leader of his home village. The series ran for 700 chapters overall, and was adapted into an anime series by Studio Pierrot and Aniplex that ran from 2002 to 2017. The series was popular enough to warrant a sequel, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations which is set several years after the events of the original Naruto story and features the children of many of its key characters such as Naruto and Hinata.
