#45 - The explosive entry of Hyuga Natsu, first meeting Kushina (please read it, and play PK tomorro

It's just that the Branch House was subjected to the "Caged Bird Curse Seal," yet some advanced Gentle Fist techniques are specially permitted by the Main House, which is quite abstract.

During the Chunin Exams, Neji Hyuga used "Eight Trigrams Palm: Rotation," which made Hiashi Hyuga in the audience marvel at Neji Hyuga's terrifying talent, suspecting that he possessed the blood of a Hyuga Ten-nin.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound exploded in the arena as Hyuga Xia's palm heavily struck the target, but in the next instant, white smoke dissipated, revealing a shattered piece of wood.

"Substitution Jutsu?!"

Hyuga Xia was stunned for a moment, her palm still in a striking pose, her eyes searching for Kiyoshi's figure.

"I won."

Kiyoshi's voice came from beside Hyuga Xia, patting her shoulder.

"Kiyoshi-san, your speed is much faster than mine."

Hyuga Xia lowered her Gentle Fist stance.

The so-called "Substitution Jutsu" is actually a disruptive technique that involves quickly finding a piece of wood to replace one's body, making the opponent think they have successfully ambushed.

It's usually a trick that requires the user to be faster than the recipient.

"I used other means to cleverly break through your defense."

Kiyoshi shook his head.

Hyuga Xia's Gentle Fist can currently only cover a fan-shaped area in front of her body. Although she can see behind her, she cannot reach it.

Moreover, due to the limitations of the "Caged Bird Curse Seal," there is also a blind spot behind her back.

"You have comprehended the term: [Dark Walker (White)]."

[Term: Dark Walker (White)]

[Achievement Requirement: Defeat Hyuga Xia in her childhood.]

[Progress: (Completed).]

[Effect: Your eyes can see more details in the dark than ordinary people and react to changes in surrounding objects.]

[Note: Subsequent advancement is possible.]

The voice of the term panel made Kiyoshi feel a slight joy in his heart.

It seems that even picking on the weak will count towards the term.

It's a pity that he doesn't know too many people at the moment, and rashly challenging them would be a provocation.

After the term's prompt ended, Kiyoshi's eyes felt refreshed. The originally somewhat dark evening became much brighter in his eyes.

Kiyoshi is quite satisfied with this term.

It is estimated that there will be an amplification after opening the Sharingan, because the insight will increase.

The Sharingan has many functions, but it does not have the function of night vision.

With [Dark Walker (White)], Kiyoshi will have a home field advantage at night.

"Then I'll leave first."

Hyuga Xia picked up the gift box and bid farewell to Kiyoshi.

As she was about to leave, Kiyoshi suddenly spoke:

"Is a trapped bird really willing to stay in a cage forever, to be a caged bird?"

"This... is to protect the Hyuga clan, to protect everyone in the clan."

Hyuga Xia subconsciously touched her left cheek, which had been struck by Hyuga Ginka, her eyebrows slightly lowered.

The moment the words left her mouth, she reached out and gently touched her left cheek, the delicate skin still retaining the burning sensation after being struck.

Hyuga Ginka's strength was not too great, but the inadvertently infiltrated chakra made the pain particularly clear.

After practicing Gentle Fist for a long time, the chakra points in the hand will adapt to chakra, making it easier to gush out.

Most of the Main House people are still very easy to talk to, but there are still some like Hyuga Ginka.

She never hides her contempt for the Branch House, nor does she avoid those means with admonishing implications.

Kiyoshi did not respond immediately, but looked up at the sky in the distance, which had already darkened, and a cold wind gently brushed his hair.

"Is that so? If it were my bird, it might still miss soaring freely in the sky again, trying to peck open the cage door."

He shook his head gently after speaking, as if he was just saying it casually, or as if he didn't expect her to respond at all.

If Kiyoshi was born in the Hyuga clan, he would definitely try to remove the "Caged Bird Curse Seal." He didn't want to be a Branch House member who was inferior from birth.

"Soaring in the sky again?"

Hyuga Xia was stunned. She turned her head and looked at Kiyoshi.

Kiyoshi's Uchiha robe made his figure look very slender, and the distinct muscles on his chest were faintly visible.

His loose black hair hung down to his waist, and the strands of hair fluttered slightly in the wind, making him look much taller than his peers.

Perhaps because of exercise, his face had grown out a bit, looking very tough.

This Kiyoshi made Hyuga Xia feel that he was too mature compared to his peers.

He was neither like those thin and weak peers, nor like the pure brutes of the Land of Lightning as she imagined.

"Soaring in the sky again?"

Hyuga Xia repeated in a low voice, a trace of imperceptible fluctuation in her lowered eyes.

It was a scene she had never dared to imagine, too distant and too extravagant.

She tried to purse her lips and adjusted the position of the gift box, and finally said lightly:

"Kiyoshi-san's statement is very interesting."

After speaking, she bowed politely and turned to walk away.

Kiyoshi watched her departing figure, a faint arc appearing at the corner of his mouth.

The caged bird may not dare to spread its wings for a while, but once the seed is planted, it will always sprout.

The Hyuga Branch House has never shown that they have all resigned themselves to fate.

It's just that the "Caged Bird Curse Seal" forces many people to restrain their thoughts and show a respectful appearance.

Attitude is the mask of the heart.

Kiyoshi is currently just planting a seed in Hyuga Xia's heart, but he is not trying to win her over now.

The current Kiyoshi cannot remove the curse seal, even if he wanted to draw a pie.

The future Hyuga Xia looks decent, so he can make an early investment.

Thinking of this, Kiyoshi turned and walked home.

If he continues to obtain terms like this, his Sharingan will be very powerful even if it doesn't evolve.

Maybe one day, there might even be a term that ignores the side effects of the Mangekyo.

That way, Kiyoshi wouldn't need to transplant Hashirama cells or clone a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan for himself.

"Thinking about these things is too far away."

Kiyoshi turned his thoughts to another matter.

That is, after graduating early, will he be assigned to a three-person team, or will he directly enter the Uchiha Police Force and gloriously take up the post of a village security guard?

Or a medical ninja at Konoha Hospital?

"Why hasn't the broken street light from yesterday been repaired yet?"

A mumbling voice came from the dark alley.

This is a relatively narrow street.

"Hey, can you see the road? How can you walk so fast?"

The red-haired woman looked at Kiyoshi in the dark moonlight, using the faint light from the distant, fully functional street lights.

"I can see."

Kiyoshi turned his head back, feeling surprised in his heart.

He saw a hairpin on the red-haired woman's hair.

She wore a white coat on her upper body, with the Uzumaki clan emblem tattooed on her shoulders, and shorter chainmail-like shorts on her lower body, revealing smooth thighs, which were matched with long boots on her calves, creating a unique flavor.

She looked very youthful and beautiful.
