#104 - Chapter 104 Let’s set a small goal first! First, form a 3,000-man army of sun sign soldiers

During this trip to the world of pirates, Hyuga Tenhao's gains were extremely astonishing.

Compared to intercepting the Op-Op Fruit, this was even more significant.

He acquired training methods for two types of Haki: Armament Haki and Observation Haki.

Furthermore, he obtained the Rokushiki and Life Return techniques from CP9.

Once he fully assimilates all of these, his combat strength will improve by at least two levels compared to now.

Boom.

Hyuga Tenhao temporarily put aside the World Government collapse plan, took out a scroll from his ninja tool bag, and opened it.

Immediately, a kraft paper bag appeared in his hand.

The bag contained the training methods for Armament Haki and Observation Haki.

With the Haki training methods in hand, he didn't start training immediately but instead formed hand seals.

Boom, boom.

Accompanied by two puffs of white smoke, two shadow clones with one-third of his chakra appeared.

"You train Haki."

"You train Rokushiki."

Hyuga Tenhao handed the material containing the Haki training methods to one shadow clone, and then assigned the task of training Rokushiki to the other shadow clone.

As for the main body, of course, it would continue as usual.

"Natsu."

As soon as Hyuga Tenhao spoke, a slight sound of footsteps came from the corridor outside the door.

Before long.

Shhh.

The tightly closed sliding door was opened from the outside, and then Hyuga Natsu, with a ripple-like movement in her Byakugan, entered.

"Tenhao-sama."

"What are your orders?"

Hyuga Natsu first bowed respectfully, and then her eyes, filled with fanatical admiration, fell on Hyuga Tenhao.

"Prepare a meal."

"Also."

"I'll leave these things for you to handle."

Hyuga Tenhao unzipped his backpack and placed ten scrolls on the table.

"The scrolls contain meat from Sea Kings."

"Tell Hiashi-sensei."

"Let every member of the clan eat their fill without worrying about supply issues."

He tapped the table.

Hyuga Tenhao wasn't just taking from the Hyuga clan, but also making every effort to nurture it.

Whether it was to produce a Hokage with the "Hyuga" surname or to gain a foothold in the world of pirates, the Hyuga clan was an excellent support.

Although the Hyuga clan only had about 300 people, this generation of clansmen, without the restraint of the Caged Bird Curse Seal, would only be grateful and obedient to him.

Especially after he instantly killed the Anbu Captain at the age of 8 with a single sword strike, becoming the youngest Jonin in Konoha's history, Hyuga Tenhao's weight in the Hyuga clan completely dwarfed the clan leader, elders, and all Hyuga Jonin combined.

For at least two generations, there was almost no need to worry about raising ingrates.

So Hyuga Tenhao first set a small goal for himself: to build a 3,000-strong Hyuga army.

The configuration would be based on Dual Haki + Rokushiki + Secret Taijutsu.

In short, if he was strong, the Hyuga would be strong, and if the Hyuga were strong, he would be even stronger.

A virtuous cycle between the individual and the family, mutually promoting each other.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Natsu's Byakugan, which was rippling like autumn water, burst out with fiery adoration.

For the past half month, she had been eating Sea King meat at every meal, so she naturally knew how much this ingredient could benefit a ninja's training.

After all, the Hyuga clan specialized in Byakugan and Gentle Fist.

As a bloodline ninja focused on taijutsu, the benefits of Sea King meat far exceeded those for ninjas focused on ninjutsu or genjutsu.

Hyuga Natsu, who had experienced the main family era, knew very well that if the main family had obtained the Sea King meat, all of it would have been monopolized by them, and even a drop of soup wouldn't have been given to the branch family.

But now, Hyuga Tenhao didn't know where he had obtained the Sea King meat, but instead of hoarding it for himself, he supplied it to the entire clan.

A genius who saved the entire branch family from fire and water.

A brilliant and unparalleled genius in Konoha's history.

A genius who blessed the family and rebuilt the Hyuga.

How could Hyuga Natsu not be grateful, extremely worshipful, and regard him as a deity?

"Remember."

"The information about the Sea King meat cannot be leaked for the time being."

Hyuga Tenhao was clearly tapping the table with his knuckles, as if each tap directly hit Hyuga Natsu's heart.

The Sea King meat could be exposed, but not now.

If it was exposed now, it would only be greedily pressured by the F4, plus the major ninja clans, to divide the Sea King meat.

Only when the entire Hyuga clan had an average configuration of Rokushiki + Haki + Secret Taijutsu, and at least 70% of the clansmen had Jonin or higher combat power, would it be the best time to expose the Sea King meat.

Of course, if he came of age and developed the Op-Op Fruit to the awakening level, when he opened ROOM, covering a Konoha, and sliced the village with one strike, then he could expose it at will!

"Tenhao-sama, please rest assured."

"The clan leader and elders have issued a gag order, and the clansmen will monitor each other and never be alone. Those who violate it will have their Byakugan taken back and their entire family will be诛杀."

"No matter when or where, there will be at least 20 clansmen watching the Sea King meat, ensuring that every piece of meat will only be eaten into the Hyuga family's stomach."

Hyuga Natsu's eyes narrowed, her expression serious, as if she was about to make a military pledge.

"Go."

Hyuga Tenhao nodded slightly upon hearing this, signaling Hyuga Natsu to step back and prepare the meal.

"Tenhao-sama, please wait a moment."

Hyuga Natsu took back the scroll in front of her, closed the sliding door, and after walking out of the room, immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to rush to the kitchen, fearing that she would make Hyuga Tenhao wait too long.

In the past, as the kitchen that supplied food to the entire Hyuga clan, it was already an important place in the family, but now that there was Sea King meat, it was even more important.

There were various guards and surveillance, both overt and covert.

Only Hyuga Natsu, as Hyuga Tenhao's confidante and the person in charge of the Sea King meat, could freely enter and exit without having to report to the clan leader or elders.

If it were anyone else, they would have to go through heavy checks every time they entered and exited the kitchen.

About half an hour passed.

Hyuga Natsu returned and reopened the sliding door, then brought dish after dish of food cooked with Sea King meat, as well as various vegetables, to Hyuga Tenhao.

Because there were too many, she even used shadow clones to transport them.

"Natsu."

"Has anything changed in the village?"

Hyuga Tenhao picked up his chopsticks and put a piece of salt-baked Sea King meat in his mouth, asking while chewing.

Although he had only left the world of Naruto for half a day, it was now a time of war, and the situation in both the village and the ninja world could only be described as rapidly changing.

The current peace was only because Konoha Village was desperately covering up the news of Hatake Sakumo's suicide while actively preparing for war.

Once the news leaked and was noticed by spies sent to Konoha by other ninja villages, the flames of war would reignite.

Therefore, he paid close attention to all the news and rumors about Konoha and the ninja world.

"Yes."

Hyuga Natsu, who was kneeling beside him and waiting for orders, immediately raised her slightly lowered eyelids upon hearing this and then said something shocking.
