"System, don't announce similar activities one by one. Just give me a single report after I'm done!"
The announcements finally stopped, and Hyuga Ningyuan could dance and teach in peace.
He discovered that Yūhi Kurenai had a remarkable talent for both learning and dancing. After practicing something three to five times, she could grasp it, and afterward she would basically never forget it.
Her body was also extremely flexible. There were few movements she couldn't do, probably because she had a foundation in Taijutsu.
But her future self was clearly a Genjutsu-type ninja. She shouldn't have been good at Taijutsu.
"Was it because Yūhi Shinku died?"
Without a parent at home, a child would naturally lack proper guidance. Sasuke, born into a Fire Release family yet training in Lightning Release, was another example.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye. Yūhi Kurenai had basically learned Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens 1.0, and Hyuga Ningyuan saw his own progress as well.

Current General Experience Points: 444.
"My Breathing level is rising pretty quickly. It's adding 4 points per minute now, 240 per hour. I'm only 320 points away from leveling up, so just over an hour!"
Hyuga Ningyuan said goodbye to Yūhi Kurenai, and they each went home.
The moment he got home—no, the moment he reached the clan grounds—he sensed that something was off about the clan's atmosphere.
Everyone hurried along with tense expressions, as if some major event was about to happen.
"Is a war about to break out?" Hyuga Ningyuan thought about it. The Third Shinobi World War should still be a long way off!
Then could it be the Second Shinobi World War?
But hadn't the Second Shinobi World War ended a long time ago?
Unable to make sense of it, Hyuga Ningyuan returned home and found Hyuga Mie busy in the kitchen as usual, as though nothing unusual had happened.
"Go take a bath first, then rest for a while. Dinner will be ready soon!"
"Yes!"
Ten minutes later, after putting his old clothes into the washing machine, Hyuga Ningyuan went downstairs and saw Hyuga Mie placing dishes on the table.
It was far more lavish than breakfast. There was even meat.
"What day is it today? Why are we eating so well?" Hyuga Ningyuan asked.
"It's your first day of school! And this is how we'll eat from now on!" Hyuga Mie said with a smile. "Starting today, you'll begin formal training. How could you train properly if you don't eat enough?"
"Oh." Hyuga Ningyuan nodded, then heard Hyuga Mie ask with a smile, "By the way, that girl you were with was very cute."
"Huh?" Hyuga Ningyuan froze and looked up. "How did you know?"
Hyuga Mie's lips curled upward. "You didn't come back for a long time after school, so I went to look for you. I just didn't expect my child to already know how to find a girlfriend at only five years old!"
Hyuga Ningyuan didn't have the tsundere attitude a normal child would have. Instead, he nodded seriously. "You really do need to find a girlfriend early. Otherwise, once you grow up, all the good girls will have been picked by someone else!"
Hyuga Mie nodded as she listened. That really was true.
"By the way, can members of the Hyuga Clan marry outsiders?" Ningyuan asked.
He didn't really care about that rule. If he still couldn't seize control of the Hyuga Clan by the time he was old enough to marry, then his transmigration would have been for nothing.
He was only worried that the Hyuga Branch Family might not even have the right to date and befriend girls from outside clans.
"Of course!" Hyuga Mie nodded. "As long as she isn't from the Uchiha Clan!"
"Oh." Ningyuan nodded. Still, there weren't many named female characters in the Uchiha Clan. There was Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Izumi.
There was no hope for the former for now, while the latter hadn't even been born yet.

"I'm full!" Ningyuan put down his chopsticks and asked, "By the way, when I came back, I noticed the clan seemed pretty tense. Did something happen?"
"I'm not sure about that." Hyuga Mie shook her head. "I usually don't get involved in clan affairs!"
"Oh!" Hyuga Ningyuan nodded. He was only curious, anyway. Even if he knew, it wouldn't mean much. There was nothing he could do right now.
Grind levels, grind levels. Get stronger first!
He first wandered around his room and the courtyard, gathering a few odds and ends, then stomped upstairs.
He shut the door, held his breath, focused his mind, and then—
"Activate!"
Chakra flowed into the meridians around his eyes, and Hyuga Ningyuan instantly felt the colors in his vision abruptly shift from color to black and white.
His field of vision immediately passed through the room and spread outward. In just an instant, it extended nearly 500 meters away!
"So my Byakugan's viewing range is 500 meters. Is that close or far?" Hyuga Ningyuan remembered that Karin Uzumaki's observation range seemed to be ten kilometers.
That meant his observation range was pretty terrible.
"So this is the Byakugan. This is other people's Chakra!" Hyuga Ningyuan saw over a thousand clusters of Chakra scattered throughout the area within a 500-meter radius.
The Hyuga Clan stood in front of the Uchiha Clan, with the Sarutobi Clan, Shimura Clan, and Ino-Shika-Cho clans behind it. Nearly all of Konoha's ninja elite were concentrated here, so naturally the Byakugan could see a huge amount of Chakra.
These Chakra masses differed in shape and size. Though all were blue, their shades varied, and even though he was looking with his eyes, he could somehow sense warmth and coldness from them.
For example, the Uchiha Clan's Chakra was extremely cold and gloomy, as was that of the Nara Clan and Yamanaka Clan. The Chakra of the Akimichi Clan and Sarutobi Clan, meanwhile, felt warm.
Combined with the attributes of the ninjutsu each clan excelled in, did the sensation of warmth and coldness in Chakra come from Yin and Yang Release?
Was Yang Release Chakra warm, while Yin Release Chakra was cold and gloomy?
Chakra obviously didn't label which clan it belonged to. Hyuga Ningyuan had judged all of this from the locations of the Chakra.
He now understood how the Byakugan determined whether an enemy was a Jonin or a Chunin. Once you activated it often enough and observed enough with the Byakugan, you could naturally sum up the patterns through experience.
Not only could it distinguish Jonin from Chunin, but after spending enough time on the battlefield, one could even determine what Ninja Clan an opponent belonged to, what Chakra attribute they used, and what attributes of ninjutsu they excelled in!
"But this see-through effect..."
He clicked his tongue.
Many forums had discussed the Hyuga Clan's see-through vision. Whenever the subject came up, people would wear lecherous grins.
But after experiencing it himself, Hyuga Ningyuan discovered that this see-through vision was nothing like the kind in adult anime.
Once the Byakugan was activated, the entire world turned black and white. Even a peerless beauty would lose much of her charm in that kind of vision!
What was more, this see-through vision went straight through flesh. He could see people's Chakra and skeletons.
Everyone looked like a skeleton beneath a pretty face. There was absolutely nothing interesting about it!
Hyuga Ningyuan also noticed the one-degree blind spot behind his head, but he felt that it wasn't much of a problem.
It was only a one-degree blind spot. Why make such a huge fuss over it? A normal person's field of vision was only 120 degrees, and didn't everyone still live just fine?
Besides, that one-degree blind spot wasn't impossible to solve. He could learn from Gao Qisheng and keep shaking his head while fighting!
It might feel a little awkward at first, but he would get used to it after enough fights.
And shaking one's head was also a combat technique called the Pendulum Swing. Its purpose was to move the head off the centerline and reduce the chance of being struck by an opponent.
By combining the Pendulum Swing with the Gao Qisheng Swing, he could create a Taijutsu skill that eliminated the Hyuga Branch Family's Byakugan blind spot while remaining highly practical!
Mm, he would call this skill the Cat Swing. Ningyuan had seen short videos of a cat swaying like this—beautiful and cool, brimming with dominance!
