Hyuga Sho

"Hyuga Sho... Hyuga Sho..."

Hearing someone call his name, Hyuga Sho opened his eyes, only to feel as though his head were splitting apart.

The last thing he remembered was the sight of a nuclear missile exploding.

He had stood alone against the world, but he had never expected them to actually deploy such a weapon just to eliminate him.

By all rights, he should have been reduced to ashes. So now...?

His blurry vision gradually came into focus.

The silhouette of an unbelievably adorable loli... slowly appeared before him.

"Who?"

Had she saved him?

Also, what was wrong with this girl's eyes?

Cataracts?

"Sho-kun..."

Hearing Hyuga Sho's question, the girl before him with the "Byakugan" could not help but look worried.

Now that I look closely, these eyes are beautiful...

Those crystal-clear eyes, glowing with a white sheen, were so vivid before Hyuga Sho.

Just as Hyuga Sho was pondering this, memories that did not belong to him flooded into his mind.

According to the original body's memories.

This world was a supernatural world centered around the profession of "ninja."

There was a ninja clan called the "Hyuga," whose special ability was the "Byakugan," which could see through things and observe the body's meridians.

This clan was divided into the "Main Family" and the "Branch Family."

The Main Family, which held the position of authority, branded the foreheads of Branch Family members with a "Curse Mark" called the "Caged Bird."

Not only could it seal the Byakugan after the bearer's death, but the lives and deaths of Branch Family members were also entirely controlled by the Main Family.

During the process of receiving the Curse Mark, something had gone slightly wrong with Hyuga Sho. He had suffered a Curse Mark rejection reaction with odds as low as winning the lottery.

The next moment.

Words and a voice popped up before his eyes.

[Doka Degree: 1%]

Having read countless fantasy works, Hyuga Sho immediately realized that this was probably something called a "cheat"—no, "hard work."

Then what exactly did this Doka Degree mean?

Did it mean that he still had 99% left before escaping the control of the Caged Bird Seal?

"A-Natsu, I'm fine."

With his exceptional adaptability, Hyuga Sho quickly accepted his current circumstances.

The loli before him, Hyuga Natsu, was the same age as him.

At five years old, she too belonged to the Branch Family.

"It's good that you're all right. Here..."

Hyuga Natsu let out a sigh of relief and picked up a spoon from the wooden tray beside her.

With one hand, she helped Hyuga Sho sit up, then...

She gently blew on the rice porridge in the spoon and brought it to Hyuga Sho's lips.

Hyuga Sho: "..."

The dark-green-haired loli was remarkably pretty.

She was cuter than every girl Hyuga Sho had seen in his previous life.

This was probably what 2D was like.

But no matter what, this feeding gesture was a little too intimate.

Thinking carefully, aside from being fellow clansmen and Branch Family members, the two of them did not seem to share any special relationship like childhood friends, a fated encounter, or anything like that.

Was she naturally kind? The unguarded type? Or did she simply not understand because she was a child?

The intimate feeding continued, enough to leave any loli lover completely satisfied.

After Hyuga Natsu finished caring for him and left.

Hyuga Sho's body gradually recovered some strength.

Slowly getting to his feet and walking over to the mirror, Hyuga Sho finally saw what he looked like in this life.

A delicate-looking young boy.

It was easy to foresee that he would grow into a devastatingly handsome man.

"So I really did become a child..."

He carefully examined his body, along with those eyes.

"So this is the Byakugan?"

Hyuga Sho touched his eye sockets and stared at the White Eyes in the mirror, which resembled Hyuga Natsu's.

Finally, his gaze settled on the pale-green, strange pattern on his forehead.

"The Caged Bird Seal."

In other words, the Main Family's restraint upon the Branch Family.

He sat cross-legged, thinking carefully as he organized the information he had gathered so far.

A moment later.

His yearning for the supernatural power of this new world drove Hyuga Sho into action.

"Gentle Fist!"

Hyuga Sho tried striking with his palm, swiftly thrusting forward.

Then came...

"Eight Trigrams Two Palms!"

Hyuga Sho struck with both hands, jabbing out two fingers in succession.

Pop! Pop!

The air trembled.

Blue spirals burst forth from his fingertips.

The source of supernatural power in this world was an energy called "Chakra."

Using Chakra to drive the Gentle Fist was the essence of the Hyuga Clan's Taijutsu.

"Eight Trigrams Four Palms!"

He struck four times in rapid succession.

Four flashes of blue light bloomed in the air.

"Eight Trigrams Eight Palms!"

This time, eight strikes.

As a Branch Family member, Hyuga Sho had currently learned a patterned Taijutsu called the "Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms."

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, half an hour...

Only when his arms ached so badly that he could no longer lift them did Hyuga Sho finally have no choice but to stop training.

[Doka Degree: 2%]

"The value increased. Was it because I practiced Eight Trigrams Palms? What will happen when it reaches 100%?!"

In his previous life.

Hyuga Sho had been trapped in a world without miracles.

It was the happiness of the weak, yet the sorrow of the strong.

But now, he knew that everything was different.

"To roam the world undefeated."

"To overturn heaven and earth by one's own strength, to stand against an entire nation alone."

"I had already begun doing those things in my previous life. It was just a pity that I never fully accomplished them... But in this life..."

Hyuga Sho's gaze burned as he stared at himself in the mirror.

"Next, I need to think carefully about keeping a low profile and creating a harmless persona before I become strong enough to escape the Main Family's control..."

Whether he had to grovel or not did not really matter.

Lying low was only so he could soar into the heavens one day.

He sat cross-legged, allowing his body to rest.

What Hyuga Sho did not know was that while he trained, Hyuga Natsu had not actually left. She had secretly watched the entire process from outside.

"Sho-kun..."

A blush slowly spread across Hyuga Natsu's adorable cheeks.
