The training grounds of the Senju Clan compound.

Orochimaru and Yuzuru were standing opposite each other in the middle of the training ground, with Tsunade standing to one side as the referee.

The guests who had followed along stood consciously outside the training ground, like spectators.

"Is it starting already?"

Nawaki, his face flushed, ran over breathlessly, using his small size to squeeze in from the outside.

"Just in time..."

Nawaki breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Orochimaru and Hyuga Yuzuru hadn't started fighting yet.

It was all Jiraiya's fault for showing him such strange picture books, he had been so engrossed that he almost missed the time...

Nawaki completely blamed Jiraiya for almost being late.

"There's enough space here, even large-scale ninjutsu can be used," Tsunade said to Yuzuru with a mischievous smile, seemingly hinting at something.

"Please rest assured, Lady Tsunade. Facing Lord Orochimaru, I dare not be careless in the slightest. I can only display my hidden strength completely, after all, wouldn't it be too lame if I were defeated by Lord Orochimaru in an instant?"

Yuzuru said to Tsunade with a smile, but his tone made Tsunade frown. This little brat seemed to know what Orochimaru's purpose was in fighting him...

Oh well, even if this Hyuga brat guessed it, it doesn't matter.

After all, he's already in the trap, so he can't decide what happens next!

Thinking this, Tsunade continued, "The rules of the battle are simple. As soon as one side gives up or loses the ability to fight, the battle must end immediately!"

"Understood? If there are no objections, I'll count down three numbers and the battle will officially begin!"

Orochimaru and Yuzuru naturally had no objections, so Tsunade directly began to announce the countdown.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"Begin!"

The moment Tsunade said "Begin!", she immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to move away from the training ground, landing outside the field and joining the spectators in anticipation of the battle between Orochimaru and Yuzuru.

However, Tsunade, after landing outside the field, quietly moved towards a certain spot, where a young man from the Sarutobi Clan was standing aloof.

"Teacher, why did you transform and come here like this? Aren't you going to use your Telescope Technique to peek?" Tsunade asked in a low voice as she approached the 'young man' from the Sarutobi Clan.

"I came here in person to prevent any accidents from happening, so I don't have to rush over later." The transformed Hiruzen Sarutobi said. He had privately estimated Yuzuru's strength, believing that he possessed the strength of a Jonin, but he didn't know exactly which level of Jonin he was at, so to be on the safe side, he would personally be here to oversee things, so that if the battle between Orochimaru and Yuzuru became too intense, he could stop it in time.

"Do you really think that Hyuga brat can fight Orochimaru to a standstill?" Tsunade asked incredulously.

"According to the Hyuga Main House, Hyuga Yuzuru awakened eyes called 'Tenseigan', the ultimate form of the Byakugan, just like the Sharingan's evolved form, 'Mangekyo Sharingan'. Didn't you hear about Madara Uchiha's strength back then? That was a 'divine power' that only the First Hokage could match!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a look of reminiscence. This was also the reason why he was eager to know Yuzuru's true strength. If Yuzuru possessed the same or even stronger power than the Uchiha Clan's Mangekyo Sharingan, he would have to guide him well, and he must not become the second Madara Uchiha...

"Does that Hyuga brat really have that kind of power?" Tsunade looked towards Hyuga Yuzuru in the training ground, muttering to herself.

"That depends on whether Orochimaru can force out his true strength," Hiruzen Sarutobi said seriously.

"Yuzuru, please make the first move." Orochimaru lightly licked his lips, and his slightly hoarse voice rang out as his snake-like golden vertical pupils locked onto Yuzuru.

"Lord Orochimaru, then I won't be polite!" Yuzuru nodded, and then immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to attack Orochimaru.

"You want to fight me in close combat? You're really brave!" Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, not knowing whether he was praising Yuzuru.

Yuzuru used the Body Flicker Technique to appear behind Orochimaru, then threw a right punch, aiming straight for the back of the latter's head, but at the moment of impact, it was blocked by Orochimaru's right arm.

As the right punch failed, the left punch was immediately thrown again, but it was still blocked by Orochimaru's left arm.

"Although I'm not good at taijutsu, it's not something a six-year-old brat like you can catch up to." As Orochimaru spoke, his right hand quickly grabbed Yuzuru's left arm, then he used his strength and yanked, trying to throw him out from behind.

However, to Orochimaru's surprise, Yuzuru's body suddenly became light, and when he threw him out, there was no force at all.

"Lord Orochimaru, my eyes are enough to make up for the age difference between you and me!" Yuzuru landed easily on the ground, and then his pair of Byakugan were suddenly stained with a treasure-blue light, turning into dazzling treasure-blue eyes, shining brightly in the training ground.

"This is the Tenseigan?"

Orochimaru looked at the eyes in Yuzuru's sockets, so different from the Byakugan, and while shocked, a strong desire for knowledge and exploration arose within him.

When the spectators outside saw the 'Tenseigan' that Yuzuru displayed, their shock was no less than Orochimaru's. Those dazzling sapphire-blue eyes, just a glance, gave people a feeling of palpitation and danger, as if being watched by a god, making them extremely uneasy...

Hyuga Gishi, Hyuga Mato, and the Hyuga Hizashi and Hizashi brothers once again showed expressions of longing after seeing these eyes. If possible, they would also like to awaken these eyes, but that was just wishful thinking...

"Is this the 'Tenseigan' that the elders spoke of, the ultimate eye with Dōjutsu Power far surpassing the Three-Tomoe Sharingan?"

Fugaku Uchiha subconsciously activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan to observe Yuzuru's Tenseigan. Judging from the latter's Dōjutsu Power, his own Dōjutsu Power was indeed inferior to it...

"Is this the reason why the Third Hokage wanted to test his true strength?"

Kagami Uchiha muttered to himself. He didn't actually envy these ninjas born with Kekkei Genkai, because his strength relied solely on the sword in his hand, and mastering swordsmanship was enough to consume his entire life...

"Those eyes..."

Jiraiya covered his chest, standing alone in a corner outside the arena. He sensed Yuzuru's Dōjutsu Power and, judging from its reaction, there was no cold chakra on him, completely different from the situation when the Uchiha Clan awakened their Sharingan. Instead, it gave people a warm and peaceful feeling.

"Cough cough... Tsunade, that 'violent woman,' went a bit too hard, didn't she? I think I've broken a rib!"

Jiraiya coughed a few times, immediately feeling tightness in his chest and shortness of breath, with a strong pain in his ribs.

It was evident that Jiraiya's earlier performance wasn't without cost; he had simply suppressed it...

Perhaps this was a case of saving face at the expense of suffering? Showing off in front of a woman one likes is a man's nature?

"Orochimaru-sama, let me show you my speed with these eyes!"

With the Tenseigan activated, the expression on Yuzuru's face seemed to become more composed, and his aura suddenly soared many times over, causing Orochimaru, who initially had a playful attitude, to instantly become extremely serious and earnest. Because if he was careless next, he really might stumble!

With so many people watching outside, if he really lost, even Orochimaru, with his indifferent nature, would probably find it unbearable, and would likely feel like 'finding a hole to crawl into'...

Yuzuru's Body Flicker Technique speed at this time was undoubtedly several times faster than before, which meant that Orochimaru simply couldn't use his eyes to lock onto Yuzuru's landing position.

"Snake Clone!"

A hoarse voice came from Orochimaru's mouth, and four puffs of white smoke exploded beside him. From within emerged snake clones identical to Orochimaru, protecting his main body in a square formation.

"Gentle Fist · Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!"

Yuzuru, who had used the Body Flicker Technique, appeared directly several meters to the right of Orochimaru's main body, and then immediately pushed out a palm in the void. Instantly, a concentrated chakra shockwave burst forth from his palm, rapidly rushing towards the snake clone on the right side of Orochimaru's main body.

With one fatal blow, this snake clone was directly killed by Yuzuru's Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm, turning into a two-meter-long snake that collapsed on the ground, with fresh red blood still on its lips.

Orochimaru also didn't expect Yuzuru's Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm to be so powerful, actually taking out one of his snake clones with a single move. This surprised him greatly, so he didn't have time to continue probing Yuzuru, and instead directly used his original sealing technique!

Thus, Orochimaru's main body and his three snake clones each used the Body Flicker Technique towards the east, south, west, and north directions, their speed extremely fast, and even if Yuzuru chased after them, he couldn't catch up for a while.

Not long after.

Suddenly, the four Orochimaru stopped, and then simultaneously looked at Yuzuru, who had followed them, a sinister smile appearing on their pale faces.

"Four Black Snakes Formation!"

Four hoarse voices sounded in unison, and then three chakra light screens extended from each of their bodies, quickly connecting and combining to form a closed rectangular transparent barrier!

Trapping Yuzuru directly inside.

"Yuzuru-kun, I hope your constitution can withstand my special poison gas..."

The four Orochimaru looked at Yuzuru, who was stunned in place, and opened their mouths with a sinister smile. At the same time, they began to spew out purple poison gas, a substantial poison gas that began to spread within this rectangular barrier, and it wouldn't take long to fill the entire rectangular barrier!

"As expected, I still have to use that move?"

Yuzuru looked at the approaching purple poison gas, and he immediately formed a special hand seal with both hands. Then, a special chakra surged out from his body, turning into a white-green chakra that enveloped him, and under the control of his will, several black orbs slowly floated out, like arms that Yuzuru could freely control.

"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"

Then Yuzuru whispered, and instantly several black orbs, under Yuzuru's control, transformed into a huge chakra light sword, which he slashed fiercely towards the sky.

Instantly, the sealing barrier that Orochimaru had painstakingly condensed was directly cleaved apart by Yuzuru, violently breaking through Orochimaru's Four Black Snakes Formation!

"How is this possible?"

Orochimaru was stunned when he saw this scene. This sealing barrier was a derivative version that he had researched based on the Four Violet Flames Formation, and its effect was definitely more than enough to trap a Jonin, but the scene before him made him doubt the barrier strength of his Four Black Snakes Formation...

"!"

"!!"

"!!!"

"..."

The same shock appeared on the faces of the spectators outside the arena, especially the elite ninjas above the Jonin level, who could feel the terror and horror of Yuzuru's sword even more!

"Is that a sword?"

Tsunade's drunkenness was directly startled away by this sword. She could feel a strong threat from it, as if that thing could easily erase her life.

"You could say it's a sword, or you could say it's a highly concentrated aggregate of chakra!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered aside. Just from Yuzuru's sword, he knew that his strength was definitely not weaker than a Jonin, and even ordinary Jonin might not necessarily be his opponents!

"So... so amazing!"

Nawaki opened his mouth wide, looking at Yuzuru, who had cut open the barrier with one sword, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. He was clearly younger than him, but his strength had reached a level that he needed to look up to.

"Damn it, is this Hyuga Yuzuru's true strength?"

Uchiha Akihime clenched her hands, her pearly teeth biting down on her lower lip, her face filled with unwillingness. How was she supposed to catch up to Yuzuru with this kind of strength?

"Yuzuru-kun is indeed the strongest..."

Kageka Maple wore her usual sweet smile, her cute fangs and charming dimples shining in the sunlight.

"Is this the ultimate Kekkei Genkai? That kind of power makes me a little uneasy..."

Kagami Uchiha gently took the White Fang short sword from his back and held it in his hand, as if only that could give him a sense of security.

"That Orochimaru guy isn't really going to crash and burn, is he!"

"Hiss... ouch, ouch, ouch..."

"After watching the battle between Orochimaru and Hyuga Yuzuru, I have to go to Konoha Hospital immediately for treatment!"

"Speaking of which, I seem to enjoy a permanent 30% discount there..."

Jiraiya said in astonishment, but the heavy breathing caused him to aggravate his rib injury again...

"I knew Lord Yuzuru was strong, but I didn't expect him to be this strong!"

"Exactly, I thought Lord Yuzuru had used most of his strength when he fought us before, but I didn't expect it was just the tip of the iceberg..."

Hyuga Gishi and Hyuga Mato said excitedly, while Hyuga Hiashi and Hizashi brothers smiled wryly on the side. Being born in the same clan and generation as Hyuga Yuzuru was an extremely painful and torturous thing! Especially the blow to one's self-confidence was too severe...

"What a monster!"

"Too scary!"

"He's not human, is he!"

"How is that possible?"

"Too exaggerated!"

"..."

For a time, these thoughts all emerged in the hearts of most of the ninja clan disciples. They originally had jealousy and resentment towards Yuzuru, but now the idea of catching up with Yuzuru instantly disappeared. After all, if you can see the opposite shore, you still have the confidence to row over, but on the endless sea, where would you find the motivation to move forward?
