#44 - The soft persimmon Hyuga Xia classmate

"Oh, isn't Samui back yet?"

Yasuhiro Anzai shook his head and said:

"She took Atsui out. I guess it will take a while."

"Alright, tell her not to be so late next time."

Tomoe Samo frowned slightly.

There's only half an hour left before closing time. He figures Samui is cutting it close again today, just to let Atsui adapt to life in Konoha more.

......

Not long after Yasuhiro Anzai went out, Kiyoshi could feel the prying gaze gradually weakening.

He doesn't like being spied on.

Last time no one was spying because Samui was there, but this time Samui isn't here.

"Thank you for your trouble, Kiyoshi."

Natsu Hyuga sat down. Her slender fingers gently lifted her drooping dark green short hair, patiently waiting for the fresh squid sushi.

The squid in this shop needs to be killed and made fresh to ensure freshness, so you need to wait a while.

Kiyoshi also sat down, raised his eyes and stared at this minor character who only appeared briefly in the original work.

"Natsu Hyuga, I heard that the Hyuga clan has a main family and a branch family system, is that right?"

Kiyoshi brought up this matter.

The Hyuga clan is divided into a main family and a branch family. People from the main family do not need to have the "Caged Bird Curse Seal" planted, while people from the branch family must have the "Caged Bird Curse Seal" planted.

Once this curse seal is planted, the lives and deaths of all members of the branch family are at the mercy of the main family, who can trigger the curse seal at will to kill members of the branch family.

It can be said that as long as you are born into the branch family of the Hyuga clan, then this life is over.

Natsu Hyuga was slightly startled, then nodded:

"Yes."

The voice was so calm that it was almost without fluctuation. Under the swaying of her dark green short hair, her forehead tied with a ribbon was exposed.

This matter is not a secret. Many people in the village know about it.

But so what if they know?

No one can change it.

Thinking of this, Natsu Hyuga only hoped that the squid sushi in this shop could be made faster. Later, she would go buy other desserts.

If she goes back earlier, maybe she won't be scolded.

"I see."

Kiyoshi nodded.

The entire Naruto world seems to have anti-fate as its main theme, but its core is a thorough "fate".

The son of a hero is still a hero, and the son of a savior is still a savior, so the son of a scapegoat is still... a scapegoat.

Just like Naruto often says about hard work and sticking to his ninja way, not believing in heaven or fate.

But Naruto is actually one of the biggest beneficiaries of fatalism, and he has never realized this.

Until Neji said that last word.

The boomerang Naruto threw out during the Chunin Exam hit himself hard at that moment.

Even when Naruto took office and became the Seventh Hokage, the Hyuga clan's caged bird system still existed.

"Then, Natsu Hyuga, can you spar with me in taijutsu?"

"...Me?"

Natsu Hyuga was stunned for a moment.

She remembers that Kiyoshi's grades in the class are quite good. He has been at the top of the class since he came here.

His talent is much better than hers.

"I've always been curious about Gentle Fist. It should be fine to spar a little, right?"

Kiyoshi smiled.

The real reason, of course, is to see if he can get a word entry, and he has to pick the soft persimmons.

Natsu Hyuga's strength can only be said to be quite average.

Kiyoshi is not familiar with other members of the Hyuga clan.

Besides, it's almost the end of the term, and there's no time to wait for the next round to match someone from the Hyuga clan.

He will apply for early graduation next month.

Staying in the ninja school will not bring any growth, and all the E-level ninjutsu that can be taught have been taught.

In the first few years, the focus was on building a foundation. Later, he took one of the Three Body Technique exams every semester, and finally took another exam before graduation.

Kiyoshi doesn't need to stay there any longer. He will get more ninjutsu by performing tasks.

"This... okay, but it's a bit crowded here. Let's go outside later."

Natsu Hyuga looked here.

If Kiyoshi wasn't a regular customer, she wouldn't be able to buy squid sushi today. It would be too much to leave like this.

Hearing Natsu Hyuga's reply, Kiyoshi also waited patiently.

About ten minutes later, Yasuhiro Anzai brought a gift box, which contained the squid sushi.

The two went out to find an open space.

Perhaps because she had to go back later, Natsu Hyuga walked very fast.

The evening air was cold and biting. Kiyoshi and Natsu Hyuga stood in the center of the open space.

"Then... I'm going to start."

Natsu Hyuga wanted to make a quick decision.

Kiyoshi nodded.

The next moment, blue veins appeared on the corners of Natsu Hyuga's eyes, and chakra condensed into the meridian system in her eyes.

"So much chakra, and..."

The clairvoyance of the Byakugan allowed Natsu Hyuga to clearly see the meridian system in Kiyoshi's body.

And the electric current that radiated slightly under the surface of his body.

Natsu Hyuga's pure white eyes stared at Kiyoshi, and his internal organs were all visible.

"He can actually bind the lightning under his skin and use it to train his body?"

Natsu Hyuga exclaimed inwardly.

She instantly realized that this must be a special ninjutsu body technique.

Kiyoshi's control over lightning chakra is so good.

She has never seen anyone like Kiyoshi who trains his body in the ninja school.

You must know that lightning is a very dangerous thing!

If you are not careful, it will burn the skin, or even burn the meridian system that carries the chakra channel.

Natsu Hyuga thought of a taijutsu freak, Might Guy.

Even Might Guy, who loves taijutsu so much, uses very traditional methods.

Kiyoshi really opened Natsu Hyuga's eyes.

Usually, the Hyuga clan rarely opens the Byakugan to spy on others, because this is a very impolite behavior and can be regarded as a provocation.

If it weren't for sparring with Kiyoshi, Natsu Hyuga probably wouldn't have known about this.

"Don't be distracted during battle."

Kiyoshi refined chakra under his feet and suddenly rushed over.

Natsu Hyuga quickly put on the posture of Gentle Fist to dismantle Kiyoshi's offensive.

All members of the Hyuga clan use "Gentle Fist" the most, and rarely use other ninjutsu and genjutsu.

Even the use of ninja tools is less.

Therefore, they will start systematic training of Gentle Fist very early.

Bang!

Natsu Hyuga blocked Kiyoshi's straight punch with her arm. Before she could catch her breath, Kiyoshi backhanded an elbow.

Natsu Hyuga immediately pulled away. Chakra gushed out from the chakra points at her fingertips, forming a small circle of chakra lines.

While constantly waving, it looks like a semi-transparent film.

Kiyoshi narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the opponent who was going all out in front of him, and felt a little relaxed.

Natsu Hyuga can basically only defend passively.

The Gentle Fist she uses is only the most basic Gentle Fist.

Sure enough, it's best to pick the soft persimmons.

I just don't know if it will explode into a word entry.

If the other party used "Gentle Fist Art: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms" or "Eight Trigrams Palm: Rotation", Kiyoshi would have a hard time dealing with it.

Unfortunately, Natsu Hyuga's identity is a branch family, and not only is her talent mediocre, but she can't even learn those profound family Gentle Fist techniques.

These secret techniques either rely on the self-understanding of geniuses, or they will never be learned in their lifetime.
