Hyuga's Strongest Prodigy (Please Keep Reading!)

"Akesh won't get into any trouble, will she?"

"Don't worry. Akeshi may only be six, but she's already no weaker than a Genin. She could even trade a few moves with an ordinary Chunin. That Hyuga brat couldn't possibly be her match!"

"But I heard that Hyuga brat named Hyuga Yuzuru calls himself 'Hyuga's Strongest Prodigy.' I'm a little worried..."

"Didn't you see him freeze up in fright the moment Akeshi used the Great Fireball Technique? His title of 'Hyuga's Strongest Prodigy' is definitely nothing but a gimmick!"

The two Uchiha Chunin who had secretly followed Akeshi to the Forest of Death were currently watching the battle between Akeshi and Yuzuru from the shadows. When one of them voiced his concern, the other dismissed it, because Yuzuru's current reaction made him unworthy of that title.

Elsewhere.

"This is bad! Lord Yuzuru is in danger!"

Upon seeing this, one of the Hyuga Chunin following in secret immediately tensed up and prepared to reveal himself to save Yuzuru. But just as he was about to act, his companion stopped him.

"Don't worry. A fireball at that speed can't touch Lord Yuzuru, not even the corner of his clothes!"

"What?"

This Hyuga Chunin had only recently been assigned to protect Yuzuru, so he had never witnessed the speed of Yuzuru's Body Flicker Technique. Though he remained doubtful of his companion's words, he suppressed his worry and did not reveal himself to save Yuzuru.

In that instant of hesitation, the massive fireball Akeshi had launched was already upon Yuzuru. Even if that Hyuga Chunin wanted to intervene now, it would definitely be too late.

"So fast!"

At the very instant before the fireball exploded, Yuzuru had already left the area with the Body Flicker Technique. His movement speed was so fast that even the Hyuga Chunin who had been worried earlier could not see him clearly.

"Don't think the title 'Hyuga's Strongest Prodigy' was something our Hyuga Clan casually announced to the outside world. It is a fact acknowledged by both the clan head and the elders..."

"In truth, Lord Yuzuru's strength is already no weaker than that of an ordinary Chunin..."

"!!!"

Listening to his companion, the newly assigned Hyuga Chunin was utterly astonished, his eyes filled with disbelief. Yet Yuzuru's Body Flicker Technique had directly stunned him. Even a Chunin with an Eye Technique bloodline like him could not clearly see Yuzuru's figure, so ordinary Chunin would find it even harder. By that reasoning, even if Yuzuru were not stronger than an ordinary Chunin, he certainly would not be weaker.

"How could that be? How is his Body Flicker Technique so fast? I nearly couldn't see it!"

"Is he really a six-year-old Academy student?"

One of the Uchiha Chunin hiding on the other side blurted out in disbelief after seeing Yuzuru's movement.

His companion fell silent. Just moments ago, he had looked down on Yuzuru's title of 'Hyuga's Strongest Prodigy,' only to have his face slapped so directly the next moment.

Yuzuru's Body Flicker Technique speed clearly proved that he deserved the title of genius...

Though the Uchiha and Hyuga hidden in the shadows were shocked and stunned, none of them interfered in the battle between Akeshi and Yuzuru afterward, even when Yuzuru kicked Akeshi into an undignified face-first sprawl...

Then, provoked and goaded by Yuzuru's words, the dark pupils in Akeshi's eyes abruptly transformed into the Two-Tomoe Sharingan. The two Uchiha Chunin hiding in the shadows were ecstatic. At this age, even awakening a one-tomoe Sharingan would make someone an unparalleled genius of the Uchiha Clan, let alone a Two-Tomoe Sharingan. Her future would be limitless. Once she fully matured, she might even lead the Uchiha Clan to reclaim the position of Hokage and restore the Uchiha Clan's glory and dignity!

Where there was joy, there was naturally sorrow.

The two Hyuga Chunin hiding on the other side naturally noticed the change in Akeshi's eyes as well. Neither had expected her talent to be so terrifying—that she would awaken the Two-Tomoe Sharingan at merely six years old. This unexpected development immediately made them doubt and question Yuzuru's strength. After all, an Uchiha ninja with the Sharingan awakened was utterly incomparable to one without it, even though Yuzuru had already displayed more than enough strength within the clan...

Akeshi did not have much Chakra. Casting two Great Fireball Techniques earlier had nearly exhausted all her Chakra. Although awakening the Two-Tomoe Sharingan had restored some Chakra and increased the amount within her body, it was still not enough for her to continue using ninjutsu. Thus, she could only choose to fight Yuzuru with taijutsu.

Fortunately, during the past year of grueling training, Akeshi had not neglected her taijutsu practice. Though it was not as powerful as her ninjutsu, the difference was minimal. With the perception and reaction speed of the Two-Tomoe Sharingan, her taijutsu could reach a relatively terrifying level!

A small figure rushed toward Yuzuru at high speed, her right fist quickly swinging toward his face.

"What I hate most is that calm expression on your face!"

"Such a childish brat."

Yuzuru merely said that, and Akeshi snapped again.

"Damn it, I really do hate that old-fashioned way you act!"

They were both six years old, so why was the way Yuzuru spoke so irritating?

Though Akeshi thought this, the strength in her hand did not lessen. Instead, she secretly added a little more force. She wanted to smash her fist into Yuzuru's face hard enough to ease some of her anger.

Yuzuru's body vanished from Akeshi's sight as though he had teleported, but his afterimage was caught by her Sharingan.

"I see you!"

Akeshi revealed an excited expression, as if she could already imagine herself beating Yuzuru up in the next moment.

"So what if you saw me? If your body can't react, it's still useless!"

The moment Yuzuru's voice sounded beside Akeshi's ear, she felt that familiar sensation on her butt again. Her body then made another intimate encounter with the ground. That was not all—immediately afterward, she felt someone sit on her back. There was no doubt that person was Yuzuru!

"If you keep resisting, I'll have no choice but to use some methods to make you unable to move..."

With his Byakugan activated, Yuzuru spoke to Akeshi with an indifferent expression.

Akeshi turned her head and gave Yuzuru a stubborn glare before struggling to get up. But Yuzuru on her back was like a mountain pressing down heavily on her, leaving her efforts entirely futile.

"You really aren't obedient. Then I'll make you behave a little."

Watching Akeshi continue to squirm about, Yuzuru spoke as he accurately pressed Chakra-infused fingers onto the acupoints on her back. He used enough force to show no tenderness toward a girl at all. Though six-year-old Uchiha Akihime was only a girl, she could barely count as a flower... bud, right?
