Fighting Hizashi Hyuga

"As your Jonin leader, I haven't taught you much ninjutsu." Hizashi felt a little guilty. In the last mission, if Shiyu hadn't infiltrated the Evil God Cult and saved him, a Jonin, Hizashi wouldn't have survived.

"Although I don't have the final say in the Hyuga Clan, I can guarantee that you won't be bullied by those Uchiha Clan members in Konoha."

"Oh, right. The Hyuga Clan's secret letter said that the Uchiha Clan's genin seem to be planning to make a move against you during the Chunin Exams." Hizashi revealed a secret piece of information.

Shiyu narrowed his eyes and said, "Uchiha? In my eyes, those people are nothing but a bunch of weaklings."

Now that Shiyu had mastered the third stage of the Flying Thunder God Technique, how could he be defeated by a bunch of Uchiha genin?

However, this time, Shiyu finally understood Hizashi's intentions. As his Jonin leader, Teacher Hizashi would more or less be suspicious of his eyes during this mission.

Upon returning to the clan, he discovered something unusual in his family's genealogy. Hiashi likely knew the whole story and had informed Hizashi.

When Hizashi discovered that his genius student possessed the Hyuga Clan's bloodline and might have awakened the Byakugan, he naturally hoped that Shiyu would rejoin the Hyuga Clan.

As for why he hoped Shiyu would join? Wasn't the reason obvious? Becoming a genin at the age of five was unprecedented, and he was exceptionally talented, even being taken as a personal disciple by the current Third Hokage at such a young age.

On his first mission abroad, he was able to fight against a Jonin as a genin, and even possessed the Kekkei Genkai of two major Konoha clans simultaneously! Both in potential and strength! He could be considered Konoha's number one!

As for other rising stars in Konoha? They were none other than Kakashi Hatake from Minato Namikaze's team, their instructor Minato Namikaze himself, and Shisui Uchiha from the Anbu.

They were all older than Shiyu, had less bloodline power than Shiyu, and in terms of generation, Shiyu was on the same level as the Sannin!

It was so obvious, not betting on Shiyu would be foolish! Hizashi Hyuga, as the future head of the branch family, had far greater vision and wisdom than ordinary people.

"Shiyu, I won't force you to give an answer. Just make sure you don't regret your choice. Regardless, I want to teach you my Hyuga-style Taijutsu," Hizashi said.

Since someone was offering, Shiyu naturally wouldn't refuse. After all, Shiyu hadn't yet copied the Hyuga Clan's special pressure point techniques, the legendary Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.

This combination of strikes, when landed on a person, would seal their Chakra, and almost no one could stand up after being hit by it.

Not to mention, Hizashi's son, Neji Hyuga, had even extended it to the Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms.

"Teacher Hizashi, since you want to fight me, I will naturally oblige," Shiyu decided to accept the challenge after some thought.

Firstly, he could become more familiar with the Hyuga Clan's Taijutsu through combat. Secondly, he wanted to copy Hizashi's Hyuga-style secret techniques through the fight. Thirdly, he could also understand Hizashi's true strength.

Shiyu didn't believe that the Hizashi from the Land of Hot Water had shown all his abilities. After all, Hizashi was currently in his prime.

"Yes, very good. I also want to understand your strength better," Hyuga Hizashi nodded and then said, "However, Shiyu, let's try not to use large-scale ninjutsu in this environment."

Shiyu suddenly found it a little amusing and nodded, "Understood."

Hizashi also nodded, then walked to the center of the courtyard, bowed, and Shiyu naturally followed suit, also bowing.

"Then let the battle begin!" Hizashi prepared to attack, "Byakugan! Activate!"

Hizashi, who activated his Byakugan in front of Shiyu, indeed found that a large amount of Chakra had gathered in Shiyu's eyes.

Seeing that Hizashi had already opened his eyes, Shiyu naturally shouted, "Activate!"

"I won't hold back this time! Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!" Hizashi Hyuga threw a punch, and a shockwave of air shot towards Shiyu.

Shiyu naturally did not use large-scale ninjutsu.

"Ninpō: Jizō Eboshi!"

"Ninpō: Rasen Shuriken!"

Shiyu's hair instantly grew, completely enveloping his body, and then transformed into nine lion heads that ferociously lunged at Hizashi.

Hizashi's Byakugan clearly saw everything.

"Is this Lord Jiraiya's technique! He's using it quite skillfully!" Facing the attack of the lion heads, Hizashi Hyuga began to spin.

"Revolving Heaven!"

Shiyu didn't intend to defeat Hizashi with the Lion Attack Technique; he just felt it was both offensive and defensive, so he merged Jizō Eboshi with the Lion Attack.

After releasing Jizō Eboshi, Shiyu directly used the Shadow Clone Jutsu, creating two figures.

Hizashi assumed an attack stance, knowing Shiyu was about to launch an attack.

"Teacher, let me show you my new jutsu!" Shiyu quickly applied the Flying Thunder God Technique's marking to the shadow clones.

Then, the two shadow clones charged at Hizashi, and Hizashi began to grapple with them.

Next, Hizashi knocked one shadow clone to the ground with a palm strike, but the other shadow clone threw its shuriken at the last moment.

"Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Then, the already numerous shuriken were instantly multiplied by the shadow clone into even more shuriken, all of which bore the Flying Thunder God Technique's marking.

"The Third Hokage's technique? Revolving Heaven!" Hizashi used Revolving Heaven again, and the kunai marked with the Flying Thunder God Technique were once again repelled.

However, these kunai were no ordinary kunai; they were wrapped with Chakra threads. The shadow clone controlled the Chakra threads, waiting for Hizashi's Revolving Heaven to end.

Hizashi wasn't foolish; he knew he couldn't continue using Revolving Heaven with Shiyu's shuriken surrounding him.

"In that case, I will break these shuriken one by one!"

"Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!" Hizashi Hyuga unleashed the Hyuga's secret Taijutsu technique, attacking the surrounding shuriken.

"One palm! Two palms! Four palms!" Hizashi's attack speed increased with each strike.

"Eight palms! Sixteen palms! Thirty-two palms!" Hizashi's palm speed was so fast it was almost impossible to see.

Shiyu watched with great interest through his White Rinnegan.

"Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!!" Hizashi declared powerfully, and almost all of Shiyu's kunai were knocked away.

"So, it's using Gentle Fist to strike sixty-four pressure points on the human body quickly and accurately?" Shiyu copied all of it.

"Your new jutsu? Where is it?" Hizashi then asked.

Shiyu smiled and said, "Teacher Hizashi, you've already lost!"
