Hyuga Cow, Victory Is Mine!

Police Force, second-floor lounge.

"Naoshu, night shift's over. How about we go..."

As he spoke, the man tilted his head back and clicked his tongue.

"What time is it already to go drinking?"

Naoshu, walking beside him, rolled his eyes. "Kid, have you been falling into sake vats every day?"

"Heh heh... Fine if you don't want to go. I'll go by myself."

Saying that, he put down his duty uniform, patted his butt, and left.

"Really..."

Naoshu chuckled and shook his head. "Always drunk. I don't know how this guy awakened his Sharingan."

As he took off his duty uniform, he wiped his sticky neck with a towel before heading downstairs.

Working duty in this sweltering heat was truly a hardship. His back was always soaked upon returning.

"Chakra Blade?!"

As soon as he reached the ground floor, Naoshu heard an exclamation from the Logistics Department.

"Are you sure? That's..."

The voice grew quieter towards the end, becoming inaudible.

"What's wrong with the Logistics Department? Always making a fuss."

Naoshu muttered with dissatisfaction, "Did they forget Article 48 Regulation?

Let's go take a look."

It seemed like this batch of reserve members would need to be replaced again.

Inside the room.

"You're saying this Chakra Blade accounts for seventy percent of this set of Advanced Ninja Tools?"

Sou looked at the claw blade, entirely black but with a cold glint on its edge, his expression strange.

He had initially thought this item, like the Ninja Swords, was part of the allocation for Advanced Ninja Tools. He hadn't expected it to be so precious.

It seemed that anything Young Master Asuma took a liking to was indeed extraordinary.

Hmm, his taste in women was also not bad.

Sou looked up and examined the two of them. "Can you tell me why this Chakra Blade is so precious?"

He naturally couldn't just believe the words of the two people in front of him. Moreover, before he had asked for the blade, there were no protective measures taken; it was just sitting alone on a shelf.

No matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem like it was being treated specially.

The two exchanged a wry smile, knowing he didn't trust them. Then, they explained the function of the Chakra Blade.

As Sou listened, his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

It turned out this blade could not only amplify chakra output, making Lightning Release or other chakra natures as sharp as a Famous Sword.

Furthermore, it could grow in sharpness along with the owner's chakra strength, eventually reaching a point where nothing was uncuttable.

Although the original Third Raikage, with his Lightning Release Armor alone, made his body the sharpest spear and the sturdiest shield, that was the result of overwhelming ordinary people with sheer stats.

If he encountered an opponent of the same level, having this Chakra Blade would definitely be much stronger than relying solely on physical attacks.

As a person, the most important thing is to be flexible.

It's like having a gun, so there's no need to spend ten or twenty years practicing that darn martial art.

"Sir, times have changed!"

"Alright then, exchange the rest for Silver Taels."

Sou had looked around earlier. Besides Kunai, Explosive Tags, and Shuriken, most of the so-called armor was just for show; it couldn't even defend against a basic ninjutsu.

After thinking about it, to maximize his profits, it was simpler to just exchange everything for Silver Taels.

"Wait!"

Just then, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open.

A ninja with a Hedgehog Hairstyle and a grim expression walked in.

"Lord Naoshu!"

The two behind the table straightened up abruptly, like mice seeing a cat, and shouted in unison.

However, Naoshu ignored them. He walked directly in front of Sou with a blank expression, scrutinizing him.

Seeing the other party's scrutinizing gaze, Sou's mouth twitched.

What was this?

A provocation?

"Hello, Sou."

However, to Ao's surprise, Naoshu broke into a smile and extended his hand, introducing himself:

"My name is Naoshu. I hope you'll guide me in the future."

The formal members of their Police Force had received a notification from the clan head last night. It stated that a new teammate would be joining them, named Uchiha Ao.

None of the members, including himself, could believe that the clan's notorious good-for-nothing had exceptionally joined the Police Force.

But facts were facts. For him to join the Police Force in his twenties, he naturally had some extraordinary qualities.

So, when he heard it was this person outside, he walked in to try and befriend him.

"..."

Ao shot him a strange look, extended his hand to shake his, and replied politely.

"Hello. I hope you'll guide me in the future."

What the hell, this isn't the script! Shouldn't they first question my identity, mock me, and then I'll pull a 'Dragon King Returns to Village' and slap everyone in the face?

After greeting him, Naoshu looked at the two people behind the desk and instantly put on a different face, his eyes indifferent as he said:

"You two hurry up and prepare what Ao needs. Besides that Chakra Blade, take the rest of the basic ninja tools. Any excess will be deducted from my merit points.

From now on, Ao is a formal member of the Police Force. You two will use honorifics when you see him. Do you understand!"

"Yes, yes..."

The two dared not question him and quickly agreed before fleeing to prepare.

After reprimanding the two, Naoshu looked back at Ao and smiled again, "Come on, I'll take you to the Police Force's lounge first. You can pick up the rest after they finish preparing it."

"...Uh, okay. Thanks."

Ao was truly baffled by him. Are these the same lunatics from the Police Force who look down on everyone?

Could it be true what they say?

When you become powerful, everyone around you becomes a good person?

Meanwhile, in the Hyuga clan compound, a side branch courtyard.

"Ha! Ha!"

A woman in a white training outfit was diligently practicing a set of Gentle Fist. With every punch, the two formidable weapons on her chest, almost bursting out of her training outfit, swayed rhythmically.

Thump, thump...

Footsteps sounded.

The woman's Byakugan suddenly opened, the veins around her eyes bulging. She saw the figure of the person behind her instantly appear in her vision.

"Uncle Nichirin?"

The woman froze, and swayed again as she turned around.

"Why are you here?"

"What?"

Nichirin smiled and joked, "Can't I come if I have nothing to do?"

"No, no..."

The woman's small face flushed upon hearing this, and she quickly waved her hands, saying, "I mean..."

"Haha..."

Nichirin laughed heartily, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore."

As he spoke, he looked around twice, his brow furrowing.

"Tsubaki, where is your brother Kaita?"

He had just used his Byakugan to look, and there wasn't a shadow of Kaita in the entire courtyard.

Tsubaki explained, "My brother? He just received a summons from the Hokage. I heard he went to carry out a mission, and he won't be back for at least a week."

"A week?" Nichirin murmured.

Since he was going on a mission for the Hokage, he couldn't recall him even as a member of the Main Family.

It seemed he would have to choose someone else...

"Eh."

Nichirin sighed lightly, turned, and walked away. "Alright then, I'll come find him another day."

As for Tsubaki, she wasn't within his consideration. Although she had been rated as a Special Jonin last year, her skill in Gentle Fist was still slightly inferior to Kaita's.

If it were a battle against a ninja from a great clan like the Uchiha, he wouldn't have absolute confidence.

"Wait."

Tsubaki quickly called out to stop him, "Uncle Nichirin, if you really have something important, you can tell me first. I'll relay it to my brother when he gets back."

"No."

Nichirin shook his head and directly refused, "This matter is quite urgent. If Kaita really returns this late, it'll be useless to tell him."

However, this wasn't a secret matter, so he simply told them about the sparring session with Uchiha Ao.

"Uncle Nichirin, let me go."

Tsubaki patted Xiangruan's chest. "If we're talking pure taijutsu, my skills can definitely crush the opponent. And even when sparring with my brother, I've won a few times."

"...This..."

Nichirin was in a difficult position. Before he left, the clan head had informed him of two plans, one for winning and one for losing.

But their ultimate goal was for the Hyuga clan to win this match beautifully and boost their reputation.

However, the border had been unstable recently, and most of the clan's combat power had been dispatched. Besides Kaita, Tsubaki seemed to be the only other person from the branch family capable of fighting.

"Alright then."

Nichirin reluctantly agreed and then made a request, "But during the sparring match, you have to do as I say."

"Mhm, mhm."

Tsubaki nodded obediently.

She had been on a mission two days ago and was getting restless staying in the clan.

She definitely couldn't miss out on something so fun.

Moreover, it was a one-on-one taijutsu match, and her advantage was clear!

Nichirin looked at Tsubaki's excited expression and pondered.

"If we use that method, the win rate should increase to about ninety-eight percent."
