One of the Eight Colors of Konoha, Iruka!

"Everyone, gather at the playground for Taijutsu class!"

Iruka entered the classroom, his expression heavy with worry, and announced this to the students of the Elite Class.

The tiered classroom erupted into chaos. Naruto clutched his head and groaned; the mere mention of Taijutsu class reminded him of the brutal beatings he had endured during the Third Hokage's training. He felt weak at the knees just hearing the word.

"Hmph!"

Uchiha Sasuke stood up, his face arrogant. He shot a provocative glare toward Fuyuki, his cheeks flushed with excitement. He would never forget the humiliating way Fuyuki had beaten him during the academy's first Taijutsu lesson. But he had grown stronger through special training with his Onii-chan!

Today, he would wash away his shame and pin this insufferable Fuyuki to the ground!

However, Fuyuki didn't even spare a glance for Sasuke's provocation. Instead, he placed a hand on Hinata's shoulder with a grave expression and said in a low voice, "Hinata, don't hold back later. If you lose at home, people will just say the Hyuga Clan members are gifted, but if you lose to a commoner at the academy, Father will crack your skull open!"

"Remember: the meek are ridden by others, and the kind are turned into wives!"

"But..." Hinata looked conflicted, speaking in a timid, stuttering voice, "I'm afraid I'll kill my classmate."

The classmates who heard this: "..."

Hinata, speaking the most ruthless words in the softest tone, didn't incite a fighting spirit in her classmates; instead, they found themselves strangely agreeing with her.

If Hinata, who had mastered the basics of the Gentle Fist Technique, accidentally injured a classmate's internal organs, she really could kill someone. Moreover, the academy's medical resources were certainly not as good as those of the great clans; if the injury were too severe, there might not even be enough time to get them to the hospital.

She didn't dare use heavy blows even within her own clan, and now, at an academy lacking medical resources, Hinata was even more hesitant to act.

"Don't be afraid. I have a medical-type Summoned Beast that can treat severely injured classmates. I guarantee they'll make it to the hospital!" Fuyuki walked side-by-side with Hinata. "Practicing the Gentle Fist—if we can't make these muscle-headed brutes sit down calmly and listen to our twisted logic, then the Gentle Fist Technique is completely meaningless!"

"Hyuga Fuyuki, Uchiha Sasuke, step forward," Iruka read their names with a look of utter dread.

When these two guys started fighting, they didn't care what the lesson was. Kunai, Shuriken, and Ninjutsu were thrown and smashed about indiscriminately. It was difficult for an average Chunin to subdue these two scions of the Ninja World's prestigious clans without getting hurt themselves, provided they weren't allowed to use their own Ninjutsu or ninja tools.

The Uchiha family's Ninjutsu, tools, and Taijutsu had no other defining characteristic than being flashy and showy. It was one thing for their ninja tools to feint left and strike right, but they also came with hidden surprises—even Chunin struggled to find where an Uchiha had hidden their tricks!

The Hyuga family's tools and Ninjutsu were nothing special, but one had to be extremely careful when stopping a Hyuga. One should never touch a Hyuga clan member's body lightly; these bastards could emit Gentle Fist chakra from every pore. If you accidentally injured your internal organs, you might end up a teacher who died at the hands of a student.

Thus, Iruka had a massive headache. He knew the class didn't just contain Uchiha and Hyuga; there were heirs to other Secret Technique Clans as well. If they showed off something they'd learned at home, he would be the one to suffer!

The situation on the field unfolded exactly as Iruka had feared. Sasuke fell behind in the Taijutsu exchange. Seeing that he was about to be easily kicked out of bounds by Fuyuki, the rabbit panicked. He performed several backflips to create distance, quickly formed hand seals, and took a deep breath: "Fire Release: Great Fireball!"

Sasuke didn't have enough chakra to perform the full-scale version of the Great Fireball Technique, but he could still manage a fireball about a meter wide!

"Wow, Sasuke-kun is so cool!"

"Nice, Sasuke-kun, you're the best~"

The handsome rabbit performing Ninjutsu immediately incited the adoration of the female students, who cheered wildly for him!

"..."

Fuyuki was speechless. He couldn't even be bothered to perform symbolic hand seals. He simply stepped back to avoid the fireball, watched it pass by with an expressionless face, and then, to Sasuke's horror, kicked him flying: "Did your Fire Release go to a temple to fast and pray? A Fire Release like this couldn't kill a normal person!"

As the Uchiha signature, a Great Fireball should be four to five meters wide, like a speeding train crushing the enemy into charcoal. Forget the size of Sasuke's fireball—it couldn't even leave his hands!

Listen to that, your ancestor is crying. That Battlefield Rose was the very ancestor of your Uchiha clan!

"Damn it..."

Sasuke looked unwilling, but his chakra and stamina were essentially exhausted; he couldn't continue his PvP with Fuyuki.

Seeing that neither was injured, Iruka sighed in relief: "Next group, step forward. Hinata, Naruto."

"Naruto-kun, please go easy on me."

Seeing that her opponent was Naruto, Hinata felt a quiet sense of relief in her heart.

Both she and her brother, as well as Naruto, had received special Taijutsu training from the Third Hokage, so Hinata knew all about Naruto's "undying" constitution. Fighting Naruto meant she didn't have to worry about killing him with a single Gentle Fist.

Compared to Hinata's relief, Naruto was sweating profusely, staring at Hinata as if facing a formidable enemy.

Hinata's hits were super painful—more painful than falling out of a tree. One hit hurt for two whole days; she was terrifying!

He really didn't want to take one of Hinata's punches.

"Fuyuki-kun."

On the playground, Hinata was chasing the yellow-haired fox around, causing a ruckus. Fuyuki sat in the shade of a tree, sipping tea brewed by his maid. Sakura's voice came from behind him. Fuyuki turned around, looking puzzled: "Is something the matter?"

"That..." Sakura looked embarrassed. "In the whole academy, your Taijutsu is the strongest. Could you please give me some pointers?"

"Please, Fuyuki-kun. This is all my pocket money for this month. I'll give it all to you."

Fuyuki paused, looking at the money in Sakura's hand, and shook his head speechlessly: "Take it back. I don't rob children. Giving a few pointers on Taijutsu is nothing; let's just consider it an exchange between classmates!"

Take your money? I'd rather pay you to get stronger, beat Sasuke, and maybe produce an Uchiha Sarada for me to play with!

"Really?" Sakura looked pleasantly surprised.

"Why would I lie to you? Money is just a string of numbers to a ninja of the Hyuga Clan." Fuyuki said with a smile: "Standard Taijutsu isn't suitable for girls. I'll teach you a more difficult Nintaijutsu, shall I? You need to prepare yourself mentally!"

What Fuyuki was teaching couldn't strictly be called Nintaijutsu; he was just teaching Sakura how to gather chakra in her limbs while exerting force.

This was a chakra control technique learned by Chunin. As long as one could condense chakra into their limbs, they could drastically increase their physical strength. If the concentration of chakra in the limbs was high enough, one could even shatter Ninjutsu.

This technique could be advanced into the Gentle Fist Technique or Tsunade's Strength Enhancement Fist.

For an average ninja, attempting to advance this usually meant death, or at the very least, losing their qualification to be a ninja.

Whether it was the Gentle Fist Technique or the Strength Enhancement Fist, both involved the application of Yang-Style Chakra. With a massive amount of highly refined chakra condensed into a fist, a single moment of carelessness could cost you your limbs.

"Onii-chan!"

After class, Sasuke dashed out of the Ninja Academy and excitedly threw himself into Itachi's arms.

"Sasuke." Itachi revealed a rare smile and was just about to reach out and poke his adorable little brother when he suddenly heard a strange-sounding male voice from beside him: "Chidori!"

After teasing the Uchiha brothers, Fuyuki took Hinata by the hand and left the school with her.

Only the Uchiha brothers remained, staring wide-eyed at each other with tangled expressions, frozen in place.

"Onii-chan!"

Itachi: "..."

Poke him? That would be bad luck!

Don't poke him? The little rabbit's fur is already standing on end!

Children from the Hyuga Clan are not cute at all.
