<p>I have seen it being used in the episodes where Konoha was invaded by Orochimaru when Hinata's father engages the enemy stating that. Now I see that being used in the current ninja war when Neji remarks to Naruto about that? </p>

<p>Is there any basis for the origin of this phrase in the manga or anime anywhere regarding the strength of Hyuga clan?</p>
