Violet Lightning Twin Lion Step and Crimson Twin Dragons Fist

"Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists!"

The chakra on Nao's hands compressed into the image of a ferocious lion's head.

The oppressive feeling, almost tangible, was enough to send chills down one's spine.

"So, this is the Hyuga Clan's secret taijutsu?"

Shin, gazing at the imposing lion's head, suddenly quipped, "Why is a single lion's head called Twin Lion Fists?"

"???" Nao was dumbfounded by the question.

"Ahem, I know you just shouted it out subconsciously, right?"

Shin, ever mindful of the situation, wouldn't deliberately stir up trouble.

He just thought the atmosphere was pretty good, so he made a little joke.

If it were Nawaki, he'd probably say something like, "Did you fail math?"

And then get beaten up? The Senju young master's reputation suffers daily.

"Yes," Nao nodded, indicating that it was all because she spoke too fast.

It definitely wasn't because her math was bad.

Shin chimed in agreement.

See, that's the effect of high emotional intelligence. Someone like Madara, I'm afraid only Hashirama could put up with him.

(Madara gives an evil grin: Do you want to dance too?)

"You still want to perform a nature transformation?"

"Yes, you gave me the inspiration."

"A form transformation plus a nature transformation? This level of difficulty is already comparable to my partial Elemental Chakra Mode~" Shin finally understood Nao's plan.

She wanted to catch up to his pace.

The Twin Lion Fists were already a powerful taijutsu, and if she added a power-up version, then their sparring matches would become full of suspense.

"I'm ready."

Nao signaled him to be on guard, after all, no one knew the consequences of failure.

"Begin." Shin activated his Sharingan, focusing on the flow of her chakra.

Under the gaze of the Sharingan, Nao's chakra slowly began to transform the light blue lion's head on her hand, little by little, into a lightning attribute.

Unlike him directly converting and injecting the attribute.

Others don't have the ability to maintain the stability of the chakra in their hands, and still have the focus to perform a nature transformation on their own chakra.

This is also one of the reasons why Shin's Elemental Chakra Mode is a forbidden technique for others.

After all, no one can constantly monitor the slight changes in the 130 trillion cells throughout their body.

"Success." Nao's face, usually as cold as an iceberg, now showed an expression of joy.

Shin looked at the girl and congratulated her with a rare smile: "Nao, you really are a little genius, you even succeeded in this difficult taijutsu~"

The lion's head on Nao's right hand remained unchanged in shape, but its color changed from light blue to purple, and it was accompanied by wisps of bright purple lightning.

Shin felt that the lion's head was several times more ferocious than before, and sighed in his heart: "The oppressive feeling has become even stronger..."

"Shin, what do you think it should be called?" Nao asked.

Shin replied with a grin, "A purple lion's head? How about Violet Lightning Single Lion Step?"

"Uchiha Shin!"

"Just kidding, Nao, don't be angry."

Shin made another little joke.

Seeing her strong reaction, he decided to change her iceberg-like personality in the future.

"Hmph... if you do this again in the future, I'll break up with you!" Little iceberg tsundere.JPG

It seems that changing Nao's personality is a long and arduous task.

Shin wasn't discouraged by this. There's a saying, "Constant dripping wears away the stone"... well, something like that.

"Nao, look at this!" Shin changed the subject in a timely manner.

Women, from children to the elderly, are all... I won't say it, after all, those who understand will understand.

(Don't understand? Serves you right for being single!)

"You just saw it and learned it?" Nao was frightened by the dragon heads burning with scarlet flames on his hands.

"Your move is not bad, but in the next second, it will be mine!" Shin arrogantly flaunted the Sharingan's copying ability.

"Uchiha Shin, let's have a showdown!" Nao was so angry that the Violet Lightning Single Lion Head also formed on her left hand.

"Gotta go, gotta go..." Seeing that the situation was not good, Shin hurried to escape.

Nao became even more angry.

This match ended in a draw after all.

Why? Because Shin's emotional intelligence isn't up to par, bro.

If his opponent had been Nawaki, he would've beaten him to a pulp.

Shin, facing a fair-skinned and beautiful little girl, shook his head, indicating he had no such thoughts, and unleashed a Great Dragon Fire Technique.

That evening, at the Uchiha Clan leader's dining table.

Chiken was listing all the faults of the Hyuga Clan.

"Tell me, isn't that old fossil asking for a beating? If the Third Hokage hadn't intervened, I would've beaten the crap out of him!"

"Honey/Father, you're disgusting!" The three siblings said, expressing their nausea.

Can't we just have a peaceful meal?

Chiken, without blushing or panting, continued, "What's disgusting? I don't think so."

The three of them covered their eyes and turned away.

His glorious image, from this moment on, was shattered.

Although Shin had already pretty much destroyed it.

"What are those expressions? And you, brat, didn't you say that a shameless person is invincible?"

"Father, what I actually said was, 'Clear water has no fish; a shameless person is invincible,'" Shin corrected.

Chiken felt like those words were indirectly calling him shameless.

He immediately flew into a rage, "You little brat, take this!"

"Old man, you're not playing fair!" Shin shouted, quickly running out of the house, not forgetting to bite back, "Bullying a child, what kind of skill is that!"

"Can you call it bullying when it's your own child..." Chiken quickly followed, vehemently denying it, "This is loving education!"

"Old man, aren't you shameless?"

"You little brat, don't run!"

Aoko and Fugaku, seeing this situation, immediately got up and closed the door.

This father and son duo probably wouldn't be back home until dawn.

They were already used to this.

That night, the Uchiha Clan grounds echoed with various shouts and curses.

The clan members all closed their doors and windows, and put on earplugs to sleep.

At the Hyuga Clan leader's house.

Meitoku was also criticizing the Uchiha.

"I was so generous in inviting that old guy, but he didn't appreciate it. If I hadn't given the Third Hokage face, he would've been lying in the hospital already!"

"..." X4

The three siblings and their young mother, Hyuga Sakura, were all speechless.

"If the Uchiha Clan leader is so shameless, how can their clan members be any better?"

"Father, Shin isn't like that..." Nao was glanced at by Meitoku and swallowed her words.

"Honey..." Sakura, sitting next to Meitoku, suppressed his anger with a gentle smile, "You're scaring the children."

"Alright Sakura, I'm just angry that the old guy is shameless." Meitoku took a deep breath.

The Hyuga siblings all breathed a sigh of relief.

In terms of imposing presence, their mother was the better one.

"I think that Uchiha Shin is quite good..."

Sakura smiled, "Even a child as strong-willed as Nao is willing to be friends with him..."

"Honey, don't look at the Uchiha Clan with prejudiced eyes."

Sakura's words made Nao internally shout, "Mother is mighty!"

If she had been there last time, would Meitoku have forced her to break off her friendship with Shin?

Nao was now certain that the food chain Shin had once mentioned was real.

Meitoku no longer looked angry, "Sakura, do you think I can't see that the Uchiha are trying to use this to ease relations with the village?"

"I just don't want them to achieve it so easily."

Sakura thought carefully before realizing this, "There are smart people in the Uchiha too, using the children's friendship to show a different side of themselves."

"Hmph, anyway, that old guy isn't that kind of smart person."

"Then who could it be?"

Listening to her parents' conversation, Nao recalled her conversation with Shin today.

"Could it be him?"

And so, Shin was regarded by his good friend as the so-called smart person of the Uchiha Clan.
