Hyuga Hiashi

Among these Ninjutsu, only the Lightning Style: Earth Wave was of a relatively low rank; the power of the others could not be underestimated.

Tsunade's signature Taijutsu, Monstrous Strength, was even among them, and there was even an S-ranked Fuinjutsu. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Hyuga Matsuba would never have believed he could obtain such high-level techniques so easily.

"I'll thank her properly the next time I have the chance to see her." He hadn't expected Tsunade to be so generous toward him; it was completely outside of Hyuga Matsuba's expectations.

"I suppose I should wait until I have time to study them thoroughly. I wonder how effective this Ninjutsu will be once it's in my hands."

Taijutsu: Monstrous Strength, as the name suggests, involves an explosive burst of power in a short period. If he mastered it, combined with his other skills, Hyuga Matsuba could defeat Tsunade with ease.

This wasn't narcissism, as Tsunade was a girl after all; in terms of raw physical strength, she was naturally inferior to a boy, and in that regard, Hyuga Matsuba held a distinct advantage.

Although there might be a gap in the purity of their Chakra, Hyuga Matsuba had a variety of other Ninjutsu to make up for this shortcoming.

Objectively speaking, Tsunade was definitely inferior to Hyuga Matsuba.

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

His current limit was fifty clones. As he had done before, he headed to the training ground behind the mountain to begin his own training.

This training ground was quite large, as it served as the base for the entire clan. The area was very satisfactory, large enough to accommodate everyone in the clan for training.

With several thousand people in the clan, one could easily estimate the scale of this training ground.

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

It was the first time Hyuga Matsuba had seen Hyuga Gangjin at the training ground, and he greeted him warmly.

"What do you know? I'm going to be a ninja one day, so you'd better get out of the way!"

"Fine, fine, I'll stay out of your way and cheer for you!" Hyuga Matsuba suppressed a laugh.

However, Hyuga Gangjin's family were prominent figures in the clan, as evidenced by their names.

Hyuga Gangjin's older brother was named Hyuga Iron Plate, his dad was named Hyuga Cement, and his grandfather was named Hyuga Concrete. Good heavens, one look at the names in this family, and it was clear they were a noble lineage of the construction industry since their ancestors.

If Hyuga Matsuba wanted to defeat this family, wouldn't he have to change his name to something like "Hyuga Great Blade" to sound just as formidable?

"Welcome, Young Clan Head!"

"Young Clan Head, you've arrived!"

"Wow, how can there be such a handsome man in this world!"

"Hmph, a bunch of sycophants."

"I still think Hyuga Matsuba looks a bit better."

Hyuga Hiashi was the legendary Young Clan Head, now strolling slowly through the training ground. At six years old, he looked like a statue, showing almost no expression.

But Hyuga Hiashi's presence was significant; he was the center of attention wherever he went. Some praised him fervently, while others badmouthed him behind his back.

The training ground was in an uproar because of him; even some very skilled ninjas had to greet him.

Hyuga Hiashi would take over the entire clan when he grew up, which was why everyone acted this way.

"So my future father-in-law was good-looking even in his childhood. No wonder he could produce such a pretty little girl like Hyuga Shangcai, and that doll-like Hyuga Oujin later on," Hyuga Matsuba muttered to himself.

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

Hyuga Hiashi glanced at Hyuga Matsuba, snorted with disdain, and walked away without acknowledging him.

Hyuga Hiashi felt that a boy like Hyuga Matsuba was a disgrace to the clan and had the nerve to call himself a member of the Hyuga Clan. As the Young Clan Head, he viewed Hyuga Matsuba as a thorn in his side.

Hyuga Matsuba curled his lip, pretending that nothing had happened.

"What are you acting so proud for? The road ahead is long. In a couple of years, I'll snatch your daughters away—both of them will be mine. Let's see if you can still be so arrogant then!" Hyuga Matsuba said silently.

If Hyuga Hiashi knew that Hyuga Matsuba had such devious thoughts about his future daughters, he would surely devour him alive.

I haven't even reached adulthood yet, and you shameless brat are already eyeing my future daughters? You're really asking for a beating.

Hyuga Hiashi arrived near a specific wooden post, raised his hand, and an Eight Trigrams formation immediately enveloped the area around it.

"Gentle Fist Style: Eight Trigrams Sixteen Palms!"

The wooden post began to take hits—exactly sixteen, no more, no less—and every single one struck the vital points of the human body with perfect precision.

"Wow, that's so standard. Even at my age, I still can't use this technique with the same precision and power as the Young Clan Head!"

"Hiashi is so talented; our clan will surely flourish in the future! We'll definitely be the leaders," a Chunin remarked.

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Matsuba sized the man up. His words were technically correct; at the beginning of the story, the Hyuga Clan did indeed hold a prominent status.

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

Objectively speaking, by the end, the Hyuga Clan were just small fries, and the only one who was actually capable died. He didn't know where they found the courage to claim they were powerful.

It was embarrassing to even say it out loud.

The only thing Hyuga Matsuba felt satisfied with now was the system; otherwise, he would have long since retreated to some deep mountain forest to live in seclusion, as the actual strength of the Hyuga Clan was quite mediocre.

If he lost the system and was left to his own devices, the Tenseigan would only be a pipe dream.

After making his rounds and seeing his future father-in-law, Hyuga Hiashi, Hyuga Matsuba had nothing else to do, so he simply wandered off.

Apart from a few girls watching him from the shadows, no one likely cared where Hyuga Matsuba went.

Returning to his warm home, Hyuga Matsuba thought of his Exchange Points and began browsing the Shop within the system.

There were plenty of ninjutsu to choose from, but Hyuga Matsuba didn't have many Exchange Points on hand, and he couldn't bear to part with them.

Anyway, I have to spend them sooner or later, so I might as well go on a shopping spree now! If I wait until I'm dead, where am I going to spend them? Hyuga Matsuba finally made up his mind.

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

How can a man have spare change in his pockets? It's unbearable to look at; I have to find a way to get rid of it immediately.

Hyuga Matsuba used the remaining change to buy a new Kunai Sword; the version in the Shop was slightly different and felt much more comfortable to use.

With the last bit of money left, Hyuga Matsuba prepared to buy a book on swordsmanship.

He had consumed the Glint-Glint Fruit and could summon a sword, but if he didn't understand swordsmanship, what was the point of summoning one?

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