Understanding the Divine Void Strike

"I'm finally back!"

Konoha.

Looking around at the familiar surroundings, Hyuga Makoto finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he couldn't help but turn his head and look at Kakashi beside him.

"Captain Kakashi, if you could have learned your Flying Thunder God a little faster, I wouldn't have had to work so hard."

After receiving Hiruzen Sarutobi's reply, they immediately headed back to Konoha.

Furthermore, to avoid trouble, Hyuga Makoto simply used the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Fortunately, he had left behind a lot of coordinates along the way just in case, but he still couldn't help but complain when he was moving so many people.

"This is really draining my Chakra, Captain Kakashi! You'd better work harder!"

Upon hearing this, Kakashi's deadpan expression could no longer be concealed.

"I've tried my best, and I'm only one step away from achieving it, but I don't think I can ever reach your level even if I learn it."

"Kakashi's Chakra is no match for yours."

Jiraiya patted Hyuga Makoto on the shoulder and said with a grin.

"If you send him here, he'll probably have to go to the hospital to recuperate along with the Fourth Raikage when he gets back."

"You still have the energy to talk about this?"

Tsunade at the three white-haired men, then pouted, her face full of displeasure.

"Hurry up, that guy's really dying. If we don't get him to the hospital soon, we'll just have to send his body to Kumogakure!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Jiraiya could no longer laugh; the Fourth Raikage's condition was simply too dire.

Even with Tsunade helping to look after him along the way, this guy remained unconscious the entire time.

If it weren't for the faint heartbeat they still had, they would have truly thought they could be burned to ashes and sent back to Kumogakure.

"Don't worry, he won't die."

However, at this moment, Hyuga Makoto tilted his head and spoke.

"Although he is weak, a very special power within him has not dissipated; he will be fine."

"Oh?"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow, looking at Hyuga Makoto with some confusion.

"Special power? You mean...?"

"I can't say for sure what it is, but my Byakugan can see some special things."

Hyuga Makoto shrugged and casually made up a story.

"As long as a person is alive, those powers will always exist, only disappearing upon death. Although he is in a terrible state, these powers are still there, so he will not die."

"Hey, what you're seeing isn't..."

Jiraiya's eyes widened in disbelief, and Tsunade looked equally incredulous.

"You Byakugan, and you can see Yang Release?"

The Yang Release always exists within a person's body, but normal people find it extremely difficult to activate or use, let alone see it!

How could they not be surprised that Hyuga Makoto could see this thing?

"Yang Release?"

Hyuga Makoto deliberately feigned a confused expression, though he found it somewhat amusing inside.

What he saw was not Yang Release, but Flame of Life went much deeper than Yang Release!

This is a realm that only those who have mastered Yin-Yang Release can possibly enter...

He's deliberately revealing this now just to find an excuse for his Yin Seal to become so strong.

Besides, he had no intention of hiding it; the stronger he displayed his strength, the better it would be for him!

"Perhaps, but shouldn't we take him inside? Otherwise, he might really die."

"Tch, he really should be taken to the hospital."

Tsunade was still somewhat dazed, but she snapped out of it upon hearing those words.

However, she was not so calm inside; Yang Release was truly no ordinary power.

According to her second grandfather's speculation, her great-grandfather's strength likely stemmed from mastering the power of Yang Release!

Of course, all of this is just speculation, since even her gambling great-grandfather couldn't say for sure.

Hyuga Makoto can see it, then can he go a step further and master and use it?

"Otherwise, how could his attacks be so powerful?"

Of course, all of this is just speculation; she needs to go back and get to know this kid better.

After glancing at Jiraiya, who was still in a daze, Tsunade looked towards Konoha and sighed after a long while.

"Seriously, you're back again...?"

"Lady Tsunade, isn't it good that you're back?"

Shizune, holding Tonton, asked with some confusion, though she was quite willing to return to Konoha.

Tsunade didn't answer; after a moment of silence, she turned to look at Hyuga Makoto.

"Kid, I'd like to visit your Hyuga Clan sometime; there are some things I'd like to discuss with you."

"Then I will welcome Lady Tsunade's arrival at any time."

Hyuga Makoto smiled and nodded. He knew that Tsunade must have many questions about his Yin Seal.

Having a proper discussion with him wouldn't be a bad thing for him.

"By the way, if there's nothing else, I think I'll head back now."

"Hey, you little brat, trying to run away?"

Jiraiya hearing this, Jiraiya immediately lost his composure.

"You beat the Fourth Raikage like this, aren't you going to explain yourself?"

"You should at least give me a rest. Wasn't it me who used up my Chakra on the way back?"

Hyuga Makoto raised an eyebrow and gave a disdainful snort.

"Besides, having made such a huge mess, shouldn't a teacher help share the burden with their student?"

Jiraiya almost laughed in anger. So you're making me take the blame?

Even though he knew that his teacher wouldn't be angry with Hyuga Makoto, and might even be just as happy as he was.

However, the fact that the Fourth Raikage almost died at the hands of Konoha is still a troublesome matter.

"You guys go back and rest. Jiraiya and I will handle this."

Before Jiraiya speak, Tsunade had already made her decision.

"Honestly, all I get back is this kind of trouble. Jiraiya, you explain it to the old man yourself!"

Jiraiya was truly exhausted this time; he felt like he was being bullied from both sides.

But he really had no choice, because ultimately, he was the one in charge of the operation!

"Alright, you guys go back now. Tsunade to see the old man."

Left with no other choice, Jiraiya had to take the blame, which pleased Hyuga Makoto.

He wasn't worried about Hiruzen Sarutobi causing any trouble; he was more concerned about his reward this time!

"Information on the Divine Sky Strike..."

He himself never expected that the name he randomly shouted would actually trigger Black Zetsu's reaction, causing him to unleash something like that!

He hadn't had time to look at these materials along the way, and he knew that the Black Zetsu version was definitely not as complete as the Princess Kaguya version.

Something is better than nothing, especially since his main body currently lacks some means of attack!

"Although I've awakened the Tenseigan and can use various powerful attack abilities, I'll save those abilities for my Otsutsuki Unit."

Gentle Fist is perfectly adequate for clearing out mobs and dealing with opponents who aren't particularly strong.

You might encounter someone even more powerful, skilled in Ninjutsu, and possessing all sorts of other strange abilities.

Gentle Fist is really not very effective. Even though he can use the "wedge" he created to deal with it, its strength is still a bit too low.

"With this information, coupled with my Yin-Yang Release combined with Gentle Fist, I'm bound to gain new insights."

With that thought in mind, Hyuga Makoto didn't linger any longer and greeted him with a smile.

"Well then, everyone, I'll head back now. Goodbye!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure vanished from the spot.

Uchiha Izumi watched this scene with some envy, and hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Then Lord Jiraiya, Lady Tsunade, Captain Kakashi, and I..."

"Go on, all of you, go back."

Jiraiya waved his hand, his face drooping with a helpless expression.

"Kakashi, you should go back too. Leave the rest to us."

"Then we'll take our leave."

Kakashi didn't refuse. He and Uchiha Izumi bowed slightly before turning and leaving.

For a moment, only Tsunade and Jiraiya remained.

"That kid is actually pretty good."

Watching the departing crowd, Tsunade finally spoke in a low voice.

"You've found another decent disciple."

"It's really good."

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow and spoke with a grin.

"None of my disciples are bad!"

"Tch, let's get this guy to the hospital first."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow, turned around, and walked directly towards the hospital.

"Then you should think carefully about how to explain it to the old man."

"Hey, you're not really not going to help me, are you?"

Seeing Jiraiya, Jiraiya immediately picked up the Fourth Raikage and chased after him.

"At least put in a good word for me, didn't you see everything?"

"This is your problem, and I'm wondering if that kid will be led astray by you."

Tsunade gave a soft snort, then looked at Jiraiya suspiciously.

"He has the ability to Byakugan, but you bastard, you're not just a lecher, you..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Go to the hospital right now!"

Jiraiya immediately felt a cold sweat break out; Tsunade's sharpness was as keen as ever.

He suddenly felt a pain in his chest, a lingering pain from the trauma Tsunade had inflicted on him years ago!

He dared not waste any more words; he just wanted to get the Fourth Raikage to the hospital as quickly as possible.

"Huh? What's going on?"

However, when they arrived at the hospital, they immediately sensed that something was wrong.

They discovered that there seemed to be quite a few more Anbu inside the hospital.

"Could it be that the old man with glasses and that old woman are sick?"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow and asked with some confusion, Jiraiya shook his head, looking somewhat bewildered.

"I don't know. I just got back. Maybe that old man Danzo is Danzo."

"Isn't that better?"

Tsunade didn't have a good impression of these advisors, and she touched her chin in annoyance.

"Their wards are of a high standard, and there aren't many of those. Raikage needs extra care right now, this is going to be troublesome."

"What's the trouble?"

Jiraiya's eyes darted around, and he immediately grinned mischievously.

"Just send them directly to their hospital room. They want to see the Raikage anyway, don't they?"

Tsunade was speechless, but Jiraiya acted immediately.

Suddenly, the guy leaped up, carrying the half-dead Raikage on his back, and ran towards the VIP ward.

He then skillfully opened the window and, like a thief, slipped inside.

"Really..."

Tsunade rubbed her temples; she didn't know what to say to Jiraiya.

However, she wouldn't object; it wouldn't be a bad thing to annoy those old guys a little.

"Jiraiya!"

Just as she was about to follow, a roar from Hiruzen Sarutobi and a scream from Jiraiya suddenly came from the top-floor ward.

"What the hell are you doing?!"

"Huh? Old man, what are you doing here?"

"I came here because you angered me, and you actually dare to come here and scare me?!"

"No, old man, stop hitting him."

"I'm going to beat you up!"

"Stop! You're going to kill the Fourth Raikage!"

With a surge of Chakra, Hyuga Makoto instantly appeared inside his hut.

He then sprawled out on his bed and stretched comfortably.

"Indeed, it's much more comfortable here..."

Although his home was a bit small, he had gotten used to it after living there for so many years.

"And someone else came to clean this place, I don't know if it was Hinata or Neji."

Sitting up, Hyuga Makoto looked around and then laughed.

These two little ones are already eight or nine years old, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, they'll be graduating in another four or five years.

"Time flies..."

Hyuga Makoto stroked his chin; he himself had been in this world for almost fourteen or fifteen years without even realizing it.

Moreover, his current development is quite good; in fact, aside from the unfortunate situation of splitting up the Branch Family, he has never been doing badly.

"The biggest regret is that there's no story like A-Cheng's less-than-ideal results at the Ninja Academy..."

Shaking his head, Hyuga Makoto suddenly wondered, what would Neji do if he knew that he had defeated the Fourth Raikage and was planning to retrieve his father's remains?

"Shouldn't you call me godfather by now?"

Hyuga Makoto snorted lightly. Hizashi Hyuga had taken good care of him back then, so he would naturally take good care of Neji.

I've been so good to him, shouldn't he at least apologize verbally?

"Otherwise, you'll have to take a hit from my Divine Sky Strike's iron fist!"

Shaking his head, Hyuga Makoto quickly focused his attention on the information in his mind.

He doesn't have Kekkei Mōra, so he can't use the original Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack.

However, by using the information and modifying the Yin-Yang Release, he can still create something that suits him!

"Furthermore, is the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack a single move, or does it consist of eighty variations?"

This question puzzled Hyuga Makoto.

He remembered that when Kaguya used this move, her Chakra- condensed fist was flying everywhere!

"Furthermore, Gentle Fist is actually derived from the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack, so it's hard to say that there are many variations within it..."

Hyuga Makoto himself, but he quickly stopped thinking about it.

Because the information in his mind had already begun to spread, and besides, no matter how much there was, he could find a way to put together eighty styles!

He slowly closed his eyes and began to carefully absorb and learn the information in his mind.

As he continued to study more deeply, a layer of pulsating Chakra slowly appeared on his body!

This Chakra was incredibly solid and incredibly powerful.

And around this Chakra, the space itself seemed to subtly distort...
