Possessing the Goro Goro no Mi, Qingyun quickly realized that as a user of this fruit, the effects would be even better if he utilized Observation Haki.
Among the pirates, Enel was able to monitor everyone on the Sky Island who spoke ill of "God" in real-time, which shows the influence of the Goro Goro no Mi on Observation Haki.
Coupled with Qingyun's possession of the Sharingan, Byakugan, and sensory abilities, it could be said that once he mastered Observation Haki, Qingyun would stand in an invincible position in battle.
Qingyun immediately savored the charm of this Observation Haki in his mind.
I do not know how much time had passed, but the sky had already darkened, and Yoshihime had used the Four-Pillar House Technique to construct a house.
The three of them took turns standing guard, and when it was Qingyun's turn, he devoted himself entirely to the study of Observation Haki.
"Concentrate your spirit; even with your eyes closed, you can perceive things and use unconscious movements to avoid the opponent's actions." Qingyun was very focused and quickly learned the theory of Observation Haki.
"As for practice, I'll have to find time for that!" Qingyun was currently able to create quite a few Shadow Clones, and using them to study was undoubtedly one of the fastest methods.
Just as Qingyun was planning to go practice hand seals, he suddenly saw a squad of people rushing toward his direction within a two-kilometer radius.
Qingyun immediately observed these people carefully and discovered that the energy around their eyes was very strong.
"Who are these people? The Hyuga Clan? Or the Uchiha?" Qingyun could not immediately identify them.
Qingyun looked back at the Four-Pillar House, used a Shadow Clone, and his main body rushed toward the squad.
Qingyun quickly approached the squad and immediately threw his shuriken.
"Clang, clang, clang!" Qingyun had also learned excellent shuriken techniques from the Third Hokage, and these shuriken all hit the vital points of the three opponents.
"Not bad at all, truly worthy of being the Third Hokage's disciple." As he spoke, the three people who had just been turned into pincushions by the shuriken went "poof" and turned into large wooden logs.
"Body Replacement Technique?" Qingyun did not think he could achieve a one-hit kill.
Although Qingyun's shuriken technique was tricky, the opponents quickly located his position.
"Whoosh!" A kunai attached to an Explosive Tag was thrown toward Qingyun.
Qingyun immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge the Explosive Tag, and then the tag ignited. With a "bang," the surrounding branches and trunks were blown to pieces.
The three ninjas finally revealed themselves.
"So that's how it is. I was wondering why you had such good observation skills. It turns out you are from the Hyuga Clan?" Qingyun raised his head and saw three ninjas possessing the Byakugan.
"As fellow Konoha ninjas, why must you be so aggressive? Your target should be me, right? I didn't expect Danzo to send so many people to kill me." Qingyun smiled slightly, appearing very magnanimous, as if he did not care about Danzo's threat at all.
The Hyuga opposite finally spoke: "Danzo? What does this matter have to do with Lord Danzo? Little brat Qingyun, we were not sent by Danzo; we just want to teach you a lesson."
"Do you remember how you insulted my younger brother?" After the Hyuga finished speaking, Qingyun immediately thought of the Hyuga he had previously clashed with.
Qingyun sweated and said, "This matter should be over, right? It was just a dispute between children; why do you need to get involved?"
"It's simple!" the Hyuga said, "Because! My brother is of the Hyuga Main Branch, and we are all of the Hyuga Branch Family!"
"As an outsider, you might not understand the meaning of this, but the Branch Family exists to protect the Main Branch. After your blow, that child became dejected! So I must help him vent his anger!" the Hyuga Clan ninja in front of him said.
"What? Even if I am the Third Hokage's disciple? You won't give me any face?" Qingyun stared closely at the Hyuga and asked.
Qingyun did not want to fall out with the Hyuga Clan; after all, the Hyuga Clan was a prominent family in Konoha and the only major clan on the surface that could rival the Uchiha.
If Qingyun wanted to become Hokage in the future, he still needed to win the support of the Hyuga Clan.
"Since you want to vent your brother's anger, then I will give you this opportunity. What about the other two?" Qingyun looked at the other two.
"They will not make a move. My Hyuga Clan does not bully the few with the many," the Hyuga Branch Family member said.
"I didn't expect you to have your own principles. Since that's the case, I hope you can defeat my Shadow Clone." Qingyun then directly used a Shadow Clone, and the clone, identical to himself, stepped forward, intending to fight this young man from the Hyuga Branch Family.
"Shadow Clone?! Is this how you insult me?" The Hyuga Branch member's expression changed drastically.
"The Shadow Clone possesses the strength of the main body. Defeat him, then we can talk more!" Qingyun asked, "Leave your name."
"Fine! You underestimate me! I will make you pay the price! My name is Hyuga Xinghuo!"
"Come on!" Qingyun's brain was running at high speed with the theory of Observation Haki; he had wanted to sleep, and he did not expect someone to come and provide a pillow.
"An elite of the Hyuga Clan, what a perfect touchstone!" The reason Qingyun sparred with Hyuga Xinghuo was purely to take the opportunity to hone his Observation Haki; defeating a Hyuga naturally would not be difficult.
The Hyuga Clan mostly engaged in close combat, and Qingyun only needed to keep using long-range ninjutsu to take them down.
Moreover, Qingyun was very clear that the Byakugan of the Hyuga Branch Family was not 360 degrees.
Directly behind their first thoracic vertebra, there was a one-degree blind spot. This one-degree blind spot sounds like a very small number.
But for a ninja, it is extremely fatal.
If this one-degree blind spot were to be exploited, it would be the greatest weakness of the Hyuga Branch Family.
However, it is strange that the strength of the Hyuga Branch Family is generally stronger than that of the Main Branch; perhaps due to the Caged Bird, the Branch Family might be more willing to risk their lives.
The Hyuga Xinghuo in front of him had already taken his stance, but Qingyun's Shadow Clone closed his eyes instead.
He was trying hard to grasp that feeling, the feeling of Observation Haki.
Qingyun did not have any defenses, but instead devoted himself entirely to Observation Haki.
However, Hyuga Xinghuo roared, "There should be a bottom line to underestimating me! You've actually closed your eyes now! You really don't take our Hyuga Clan seriously, do you!?"
"Eight Trigrams Mountain-Breaking Strike!" Hyuga Xinghuo directly unleashed an air wave. As the name suggests, this Mountain-Breaking Strike uses Gentle Fist to launch an air wave, and the power of the air wave is almost enough to blow up a mountain.
This is also one of the few mid-to-long-range attacks of the Hyuga Clan.
But none of this mattered; at the most opportune moment, Qingyun performed a nimble flip and dodged this seemingly powerful Mountain-Breaking Strike!
