Hyuga Hiashi

Among these Ninjutsu, only Lightning Release: Ground Walk was of a relatively low rank. The others were not to be underestimated in power.

Tsunade's signature taijutsu, Monstrous Strength, was even included. There was even an S-rank Fuinjutsu. If Hyuga Matsuba had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that he had obtained such high-level Ninjutsu so easily.

"I'll properly thank her next time I get the chance to see her." Hyuga Matsuba had not expected Tsunade to be so generous to him.

"I'd better wait until I have time to study them properly. I wonder how effective these Ninjutsu will be in my hands."

Taijutsu: Monstrous Strength, as its name implied, allowed one's power to erupt in a short period of time. If he mastered it and combined it with his other skills, Hyuga Matsuba could easily defeat Tsunade.

That was not narcissism. After all, Tsunade was a girl, so she was certainly inferior to a boy in terms of physical strength. Hyuga Matsuba still held some advantage in that regard.

Although there might have been some gap between their Chakra purity, Hyuga Matsuba had all sorts of other Ninjutsu to make up for that weakness.

Objectively speaking, Tsunade was absolutely no match for Hyuga Matsuba.

After resting for a while, Hyuga Matsuba summoned a group of clones and ordered them to train.

His current limit was fifty clones. As before, he went to the Training Ground behind the mountain and began his own training.

The Training Ground was quite large. Since it was the training base for the entire clan, its size was more than satisfactory, enough to accommodate every member of the clan training there.

The entire clan had several thousand members, which gave some idea of just how large this Training Ground was.

"Eh? Isn't that Hyuga Gangjin? Why are you training here today? Did your little friends stop playing with you?"

It was Hyuga Matsuba's first time seeing Hyuga Gangjin at the Training Ground, so he greeted him warmly.

"What do you know? I'm going to be a ninja someday, so get out of my way!"

"Alright, alright, I'll get out of your way and cheer you on!" Hyuga Matsuba barely held back his laughter.

But Hyuga Gangjin's family was quite prominent within the clan, as was obvious from their names.

Hyuga Gangjin's older brother was called Hyuga Iron Plate. His father was Hyuga Cement, and his grandfather was Hyuga Concrete. Good grief—just hearing those names made it obvious that their family had been construction aristocrats since their ancestors' time.

If Hyuga Matsuba wanted to defeat that family, shouldn't he first change his name to something badass like Hyuga Broadsword?

"Welcome, Young Clan Head!"

"Young Clan Head, you're here!"

"Wow, how could there be such a handsome man in this world?"

"Hmph, what a bunch of bootlickers."

"I still think Hyuga Matsuba is better-looking."

Hyuga Hiashi was the legendary Young Clan Head. He was currently strolling leisurely through the Training Ground. He was six years old this year and looked as expressionless as a stone-faced man.

Yet Hyuga Hiashi had quite the presence. Wherever he went, he became the center of attention. Some people praised him extravagantly, while others badmouthed him behind his back.

But the Training Ground was now abuzz because of him. Even some very powerful ninjas had to greet him.

After Hyuga Hiashi grew up, he would take over the entire clan. That was why everyone treated him this way.

"So my future father-in-law was already good-looking as a kid. No wonder he could later have such a pretty little girl as Hyuga Shangcai, and that doll-like Hyuga Oujin too," Hyuga Matsuba muttered to himself.

"Hey, where's your younger brother, Hizashi Hyuga? Where did he go?"

Hyuga Hiashi glanced at Hyuga Matsuba, snorted disdainfully, and walked away without responding.

Hyuga Hiashi felt that Hyuga Matsuba was simply a disgrace to the clan. He still had the nerve to call himself a member of the Hyuga Clan. As the Young Clan Head, Hyuga Hiashi saw Hyuga Matsuba as nothing less than a thorn in his side.

Hyuga Matsuba curled his lips and pretended that nothing had happened.

"What are you so smug about? There's still a long road ahead. In a couple of years, I'll run off with your daughters. Both of them will be mine. Let's see if you can still be so arrogant then!" Hyuga Matsuba muttered.

If Hyuga Hiashi knew that Hyuga Matsuba had improper thoughts about his future daughters, he would probably devour Hyuga Matsuba alive.

I haven't even come of age yet, and this shameless bastard is already thinking about my future daughters. He's asking for a beating.

Hyuga Hiashi came to a particular wooden post. He raised his hand and struck, and an Eight Trigrams formation immediately enveloped the post.

Gentle Fist Style: Eight Trigrams Sixteen Palms!

The wooden post before him was struck exactly sixteen times, no more and no less, and every blow landed precisely on a vital point of the human body.

"Wow, that was far too perfect. At my age, I still can't execute that move as accurately and powerfully as the Young Clan Head!"

"Hiashi is so amazing. Our clan is going to soar to great heights in the future! Won't we become the top dogs then?" a Chunin said.

After hearing that, Hyuga Matsuba sized the man up. There was nothing wrong with what he said. At the beginning of the story, the Hyuga Clan truly did hold a prominent position.

But in the entire Naruto World, the Hyuga Clan was nothing at all.

Objectively speaking, by the end, the Hyuga Clan was merely cannon fodder. The one somewhat powerful member even died. He had no idea where they found the nerve to call themselves strong.

Weren't they afraid people would laugh at them for saying that?

The only thing Hyuga Matsuba was satisfied with now was the system. Otherwise, he would have long since hidden away in some remote mountain forest, because the Hyuga Clan's strength really was nothing impressive.

If he lost the system and had to fend for himself, he could only dream about the Tenseigan.

After taking a lap around the place and seeing his future father-in-law, Hyuga Hiashi, Hyuga Matsuba had nothing important left to do, so he simply wandered off.

Aside from a few girls secretly watching Hyuga Matsuba, probably no one cared where he went.

After returning to his warm home, Hyuga Matsuba remembered his Exchange Points and began browsing the Shop within the system.

There were countless Ninjutsu, but he did not have many Exchange Points in hand. Hyuga Matsuba was reluctant to spend them.

"I'll have to spend them sooner or later, so I might as well splurge now! If I wait until I'm dead, where will I spend them then?" Hyuga Matsuba finally made up his mind.

He then purchased the Three Basic Jutsu and the Body Flicker Technique, spending a total of 4,900 Exchange Points.

"How can a man have loose change in his hands? It's painful just looking at it. I need to find a way to spend it all quickly."

Hyuga Matsuba used the remaining change to buy a new Kunai Sword. The Shop's version was somewhat different, and it felt much more comfortable to use.

With the last bit of money, Hyuga Matsuba planned to buy a book on Swordsmanship.

He had eaten the Glint-Glint Fruit and could summon a sword, but what was the point of summoning one if he did not understand Swordsmanship?

After purchasing the book, its contents, just as before, transformed into a beam of light and shot into Hyuga Matsuba's head. Before long, the basic techniques of Swordsmanship had already appeared in his mind.
