Konoha's Number One Technician

The Hyuga Clan's compound.

After leaving school, Hinata Hyuga ran straight home without stopping.

She clenched the report card in her hand and let out a breath before slowly walking into the courtyard.

The Hyuga Clan placed the utmost importance on rules and etiquette; if she had barged in directly, she would surely have been reprimanded.

"Father."

Hinata Hyuga arrived at the study where Hiashi Hyuga was.

"Come in."

A rather stern voice rang out.

Hinata Hyuga opened the door, took off her shoes, and entered the study.

"What is it?"

Hiashi Hyuga sat cross-legged on the tatami mat, holding a book.

"The monthly exams are over, and the results are out."

Hinata Hyuga stepped forward, knelt before him, her fair soles turned outward.

"What's your rank?"

Hiashi Hyuga asked calmly.

He was already very well aware of the First Year Class A, where Hinata Hyuga was.

How to put it? It could be called a place where crouching tigers and hidden dragons resided.

The young generation of Konoha's major ninja clans were all gathered in First Year Class A.

Especially with the presence of Sasuke Uchiha, the younger brother of the super-genius Itachi Uchiha.

Hiashi Hyuga sighed inwardly.

Their Hyuga Clan also had a genius, Neji Hyuga, but unfortunately, he was from the branch family.

As for Hinata Hyuga, he no longer held out hope.

Because Hanabi Hyuga had already been born.

According to the rules of the Hyuga Clan, only one member of the main family could exist per generation; the rest would be branded with the Caged Bird Seal and become branch family members.

Theoretically, either Hinata Hyuga or Hanabi Hyuga would become part of the branch family.

The so-called Caged Bird Seal was a means to prevent the Byakugan from leaking out.

But on the other hand, the main family could control the branch family through the Caged Bird Seal.

"Father, please take a look."

Hinata Hyuga handed over the report card with anticipation.

"Hm? First place?"

Hiashi Hyuga took the report card, glanced at it, and his expression immediately changed.

How could it be first place? Doubt surfaced, and he was uncharacteristically flustered.

This ranking far exceeded his expectations, or rather, he had never even considered that Hinata Hyuga would achieve first place.

Hinata Hyuga noticed his expression.

Her heart immediately leaped with joy.

Clearly, her first-place finish had greatly surprised Hiashi Hyuga.

"Hinata."

After reading the report card, Hiashi Hyuga said, "You've done very well. You haven't disgraced the Hyuga Clan."

"Thank you, Father!"

This was the first time Hinata Hyuga had heard praise from Hiashi Hyuga, and she couldn't help but show an excited expression.

"How did you get first place?"

Hiashi Hyuga asked curiously.

"Teacher Beizawa helped me."

Hinata Hyuga replied truthfully.

Beizawa?

Hiashi Hyuga pondered.

Tokuma Hyuga, whom he had sent to protect Hinata Hyuga, had reported on Beizawa.

The incident that left the deepest impression on him was when Beizawa helped discipline a brat who was bullying Hinata Hyuga.

"It seems he is a good teacher."

Hiashi Hyuga nodded slightly and said.

"Mhm."

Hinata Hyuga said seriously, "Teacher Beizawa is amazing!"

What's so amazing about a Chunin?

At most, his teaching level is decent.

Hyuga Hiashi was dismissive.

"Teacher Beizawa taught me how to climb trees, saying it could improve my Chakra control..."

Hinata Hyuga opened up.

Was this still his daughter?

Hyuga Hiashi looked at the talkative Hinata Hyuga and felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

In the past, she could barely get five sentences out in front of him, and that would have been considered chatty.

But now, she was completely different, very lively.

The root of it all was undoubtedly that Teacher Beizawa.

Hyuga Hiashi fell silent.

It was a pity he was too late.

Now that Hanabi Hyuga had been born, the tragedy between him and Hizashi Hyuga might repeat itself.

Beizawa left the Ninja Academy.

He walked down the street, sighing inwardly, it was good to have connections.

Whether it was him being chosen for the thirty questions or Hinata Hyuga being selected as the outstanding student representative, it was all Hiruzen Sarutobi's doing.

Privileges were indeed great, but Beizawa knew very well that all of this was because of his teacher status and his bond with Naruto Uzumaki.

When it really mattered, he wouldn't be of much use and had no say in Konohagakure.

"Strength is the most important thing."

Beizawa walked, recalling his missions.

The mission for Hinata Hyuga to spar with Toranosuke could be completed after the speech.

Her strength far surpassed Toranosuke's; as long as her personality changed, it would be a guaranteed win.

The mission to send Mizuki to prison would be put aside for now, as there was no suitable opportunity.

Moreover, if he clashed with Mizuki, it would likely lead to a fight.

Beizawa knew quite a few ninjutsu now, but his Chakra was average; he would be drained after using two techniques.

For safety's sake, he needed to power up.

The key lay in completing the mission to learn Naruto Uzumaki's Sexy Jutsu, which could increase his Chakra limit by one-tenth.

Developing the Sexy Jutsu wouldn't be difficult, but it would ruin his brilliant and honest teacher image, and he might even offend Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Beizawa stroked his chin.

Was there anyone willing to take the blame for him?

After a moment of thought, his eyes lit up; there really was such a person.

Kakashi Hatake.

The more Beizawa thought about it, the more suitable he seemed.

First, he had the ability to develop it.

Second, he was a fan of Icha Icha Paradise and knew how to use unscrupulous ninjutsu like Thousand Years of Death.

Third, he was loyal and upright, so Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't blame him.

With this in mind, Beizawa immediately turned onto another road.

Soon, he arrived at Kakashi Hatake's house.

"I wonder if he's home."

Beizawa stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a moment of waiting, the door opened.

Kakashi Hatake, with his silver hair and face mostly covered, appeared.

"Kakashi, I need your help with something."

Beizawa paused and said, "Don't tell anyone about this."

"Are you defecting?"

Kakashi Hatake asked abruptly.

"How could I? That's slander!"

Teacher Beizawa quickly said, "There is only one sun in my heart, and that is Lord Hokage!"

"What is it about?"

Kakashi Hatake's dead fish eyes stared at him and asked.

"Do you know Naruto Uzumaki?"

Beizawa got back to business.

"What do you mean?"

Hearing the familiar name, Kakashi Hatake's eyes suddenly lit up.

He not only knew Naruto Uzumaki, but he had also been watching over him since before he was born.

"I am a teacher at the Ninja Academy now."

Beizawa explained, "And Naruto is one of my students."

"So?"

Kakashi Hatake asked with a confused tone.

"Naruto is currently developing a ninjutsu based on the Transformation Technique."

Beizawa sighed and said, "You know, I'm just an ordinary Chunin, I don't have that ability, you understand?"

"He can develop ninjutsu at just six years old?"

Kakashi Hatake felt astonished.

But when he thought that Naruto Uzumaki was Minato Namikaze's son, he seemed to accept it.

After all, the Rasengan, known for its ultimate change in chakra form, was developed by Minato Namikaze.

As expected of a teacher's son.

Kakashi Hatake sighed in his heart.

"You are the Copy Ninja, Konoha's number one technician, this matter is perfect for you."

Beizawa asked sincerely, "Are you willing to help?"

"Don't call me the number one technician."

Kakashi Hatake paused and said, "I'm free tomorrow, bring Naruto to see me."

Although his heart was sealed and love was buried, he couldn't refuse a teacher's son.
