Your Main Family Is Disgusting

"Can I spar with Mikoto later?"

The four of them sat in a circle with a large bag of snacks in the middle.

While eating snacks, Nawaki spoke to Mikoto.

Having sparred with Hiashi all this time, Nawaki felt like he was about to be dragged down to Hiashi's level.

So, Nawaki wanted to try facing Mikoto.

"Of course you can."

Mikoto smiled and nodded at Nawaki's words, with no intention of refusing him.

"What are you planning to do later, Shuji?"

After speaking, Mikoto looked at Shuji beside her.

"I'm planning to sleep for a while."

Shuji raised his brows slightly at her words as he ate his snacks and replied to Mikoto.

"Huh?"

Mikoto froze. That did not sound like something Shuji would say.

After all, this was someone who practiced Chakra control even during taijutsu class. Why did he suddenly want to rest today?

"After all, some people need to understand that they can't catch up to me not because I secretly trained all morning."

As he ate his snacks, Shuji casually swept his gaze over Nawaki and Hiashi.

"Pfft—"

Unable to hold it in, Mikoto burst out laughing. Almost the moment Shuji finished speaking, she knew exactly who he meant by "some people."

"Heh..."

Nawaki and Hiashi immediately got fired up.

"Actually, I think a person can only find their shortcomings when they fail."

Pursing his lips, Hiashi spoke to Nawaki.

"Mm, that's right."

Nawaki nodded heavily. Although he did not know what Hiashi was trying to do, he knew he should nod.

"And the three of us—whether Nawaki or Mikoto—are no match for Shuji. Wouldn't that just delay Shuji's training?"

Shuji raised his brows and watched Hiashi, who was speaking at length before him, with a faint smile, saying nothing.

Did they want to challenge him together?

"So, Nawaki, why don't we fight Shuji together? That way, even if Shuji loses to us, he'd still gain a lot from it, wouldn't he?"

At last, Hiashi asked Nawaki.

"Sure. Let me see how far the two of you have come."

Shuji nodded and slowly rose to his feet, speaking to Nawaki and Hiashi.

Mikoto merely watched the scene with a smile in her eyes, saying nothing.

If she faced Nawaki and Hiashi at the same time, she would lose badly.

But if it was Shuji, what would the outcome be?

To be honest, even facing Nawaki and Hiashi together did not put much pressure on Shuji.

He knew far too well what level they were currently at.

With his left hand behind his back, Shuji slowly extended his right hand and looked at Nawaki and Hiashi.

"Please, gentlemen?"

"Hmph!"

Nawaki snorted coldly. Chakra began gathering as, just when he was poised to strike, he suddenly furrowed his brow and lowered his stance.

"What's wrong?"

Hiashi froze at the sight and asked Nawaki in confusion.

"Hinagiku and Hizashi are in trouble."

Nawaki immediately told Shuji and Hiashi.

"What happened?"

Shuji frowned slightly and asked Nawaki.

What could possibly happen to two Hyuga clan members in the village?

"Sensei doesn't know either. He only knows that Hinagiku and Hizashi are at the hospital now."

Nawaki shook his head as he spoke to Shuji.

"Mikoto, we may have to leave early today."

Shuji nodded, then turned to Mikoto.

"Mm, you go deal with it first. I can train here by myself."

Mikoto immediately got to her feet and spoke to Shuji and Nawaki.

At that moment, Shuji furrowed his brow slightly. His Shadow Clone Technique had just been dispelled as well.

"All right. Be careful on your own."

Shuji nodded, then glanced at Hiashi and Nawaki.

The three of them immediately ran toward Konoha Hospital.

"Can anyone just lay hands on the Hyuga now?"

As they walked down the hospital corridor toward the ward, Hiashi said unhappily.

Hizashi was indeed from the Branch Family, but he was also Hiashi's biological younger brother.

If anyone was going to bully him, it could only be Hiashi. No one else was allowed to.

"If you ask me, you shouldn't have forgiven Might Duy in the first place."

After a pause, Hiashi spoke to Shuji.

"Those who can be intimidated wouldn't have dared lay a hand on the Hyuga to begin with. Those who dare lay hands on the Hyuga won't be intimidated."

Shuji silently shook his head as he spoke to Hiashi.

His pace also quickened.

That was his own younger sister, after all. They had grown up together and had spent six years together by now.

How could Shuji not care when something had happened to Hinagiku?

"Your sister is up to you."

The moment they reached the ward door, Shuji saw Hyuga Kiyosada standing outside.

"Lord Tokuhiro said you'll handle your younger brother's matter."

After speaking, Hyuga Kiyosada looked at Hiashi standing beside Shuji.

"Mm, I understand."

Hiashi nodded. Almost as soon as Hyuga Kiyosada finished speaking, Hiashi basically understood what this was about.

The Main Family and the Branch Family...

"I'm sorry. This is my fault. I didn't think something like this would happen in such a short time."

Looking at Shuji before him, Hiashi pursed his lips and said regretfully.

"Saying sorry is useless. You need to make those high-and-mighty Main Family members understand that there are some people they can't touch, even if they're from the Branch Family."

Shuji gritted his teeth lightly as he spoke to Hiashi and pushed open the ward door.

Seriously... the relationship between these Branch Family members and the Main Family had not been completely severed yet.

"Your Main Family is disgusting."

Standing before Hinagiku, Shuji met her gaze.

With a trace of resentment, Hinagiku glanced at Shuji, slowly closed her eyes, and turned her head away.

Hinagiku knew that Shuji treated her very well. Not only Shuji—even Hiashi treated her well.

Though Hiashi sometimes targeted her over matters of etiquette, Hinagiku knew very clearly that it was more because Hiashi was competing with Shuji.

In other respects, neither Shuji nor Hiashi had ever bullied her as members of the Main Family.

She should not have looked at her own brother that way.

But...

Hinagiku could not help it. She truly could not.

"Tell me who he is."

Compared to Shuji, Hiashi's attitude was much harsher. This was also the first time Hiashi had shown Hizashi the attitude of the Main Family.

"Hyuga Shunichi."
