Secret Technique

It is a secret technique that can only be performed by combining Yin Release with the Byakugan.

It is somewhat similar to a "Mind Body Switch Technique without the spiritual effects."

However, this weakened version of the Mind Body Switch Technique can use the Byakugan to intrude into the opponent's body from a distance, including their blood vessels and organs, to directly inflict damage!

The power of this damage still needs improvement, as it cannot yet cause devastating harm inside a person's body, but it is more than capable of striking acupoints.

He has already planned how to continue developing this secret technique of remote acupoint striking; perhaps through repeated practice and mental rapid calculation, he could directly master the advanced secret technique: Air Palm 64 Strikes.

As for how to defend against this type of remote damage technique, he has also made preparations. Yin Release must be countered by Yin Release, but he does not intend to teach the method of defense to anyone else.

At the very least, until he has completely seized control of the Hyuga Clan, he will not teach the means of defense to anyone.

Of course, he does not even intend to expose this secret technique.

Teaching it to his cousin now is purely out of trust.

Based on trust, he can cultivate his own core team.

In any case, his cousin has not yet learned how to refine and convert Yin Release chakra, so he cannot possibly master this technique in just a few days.

Teaching him now is simply because the time is right.

Hyuga Hoshishaku has already realized that his strength is growing too rapidly.

Perhaps by next year, once he settles the commission task regarding Yuto, he will be able to obtain another reward—at the very least, a full Jonin character card.

If he is lucky, obtaining a full Kage-level character card is not impossible.

Therefore, increasing the strength of those he trusts is a crucial link in keeping the future within his grasp.

If he possesses power beyond a Jonin by next year, he should accelerate his plans.

After teaching the training method for the secret technique to Hyuga Yunfei, he began his own training.

Although two or three days are not enough to drastically increase his strength, they are perfectly fine for familiarizing himself with newly learned abilities.

Ever since he completely mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique two months ago, Master Tobirama has taught him the advanced Flying Thunder God Slash.

Strictly speaking, this Flying Thunder God Slash is not a ninjutsu, but an application technique.

Therefore, it is not difficult to learn.

The current Hyuga Hoshishaku, relying solely on the Rasengan, Chidori, and the Flying Thunder God Technique, has already touched the threshold of an elite Jonin.

Coupled with his other abilities, even without much actual combat experience, his strength is not the least bit inferior to an elite Jonin.

He once suspected that the "Genius Class" and the "Selection Tournament" were created specifically for him.

But he also felt he was being a bit narcissistic.

From the perspective of a collective administrator, why would they pour a massive amount of resources into customized training for a single individual?

Time passed quickly just like that.

In three days, with Hoshishaku's hands-on guidance, Yuto had initially mastered the Rasengan.

A reinforced version of the Sage Body Naruto was fresh out of the oven.

As for Yunfei, he had also initially grasped Yin Release and officially begun training in the remote acupoint striking secret technique.

However, his strength had not improved for the time being, remaining at a level close to a Chunin.

While Hoshishaku did not seem to have learned anything new, his understanding of the Flying Thunder God Slash had deepened, and he was determined to win first place in this Selection Tournament.

Now is not the time to keep a low profile.

This is not the terrifying era when Sarutobi Hiruzen was in power and Shimura Danzō was secretly harvesting the village's geniuses.

The current Senju brothers only feel joy when they see geniuses in the village.

If you can't find the book title, try searching for the author; perhaps the name has just been changed!

Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity, he should also reveal a few of his trump cards to make a name for himself.

Three days later, at the Ninja Academy Arena.

As news of the freshman entrance Selection Tournament spread over the past few days, details about the tournament also circulated throughout the village.

For the first "all-participation" event since the village's founding, the villagers' discussions regarding the preliminary rounds were rampant, and the excitement was gradually climbing.

The Hyuga family "timely" discovered a business opportunity, taking the surveillance footage from the preliminary rounds to replicate and sell; the money earned was split into three parts: the lion's share went to the village, and the remainder was split equally between the Hyuga and the Uchiha.

Consequently, the subsequent rounds of the Selection Tournament received even more attention, especially from some ninja clans, who finally understood why the Hyuga and Uchiha had fully supported the establishment of the Ninja Academy—it was to make money.

Unfortunately, their vision was still too limited; for the two largest families in the village, while money was certainly important, what mattered more was their close connection to the village.

On this point, apart from the Uchiha who were pulled in as allies, only the Hyuga and a few clever individuals saw through it.

On the arena floor.

The matches had already begun.

Compared to the "amateur brawls" of the first round, the matches for the top one hundred out of two hundred were already quite spectacular.

Those who could enter the second round were basically under eighteen and at least at the Chunin level.

Battles between ninjas are notoriously fast.

You instant-kill me, I instant-kill him.

Ordinary battles generally end within three minutes; only when "experts" clash does the duration stretch out.

However, the audience loves nothing more than watching experts clash.

It is worth mentioning that the Sarutobi Hiruzen whom Xingzhuo is familiar with ran into that Uchiha Rinne.

The boy and girl, similar in age, fought with such intensity that the match ultimately ended with Sarutobi Hiruzen falling after being caught in a Two-Tomoe Sharingan genjutsu.

Then there was Kagami Uchiha facing Torifu Akimichi, an internal conflict between two disciples of Senju Tobirama.

One could guess the course of the battle without even watching: the Akimichi Clan's Multi-Size Secret Technique versus the Sharingan and Fire Style Ninjutsu.

In the end, Kagami Uchiha also relied on genjutsu to secure the victory.

As for Xingzhuo's older brother, Hyuga Yueye, he had it much worse, as he was matched against someone Xingzhuo considered quite troublesome—Kureha Kurama.

That fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl played with her clan's secret techniques with godlike proficiency.

Xingzhuo suspected that whatever she imagined in her mind could manifest in reality.

All sorts of bizarre things appeared in reality, rushing forward in a swarm to beat Hyuga Yueye; the visual impact was truly intense.

Ultimately, the result was that Hyuga Yueye lasted only one minute by relying on Rotation before collapsing, while Kureha Kurama stood perfectly still in place to claim her victory.

At this moment, the electronic screen in the waiting room flashed a preview for the upcoming matches.

Hyuga Yunfei vs. Hatake Saku.

Upon seeing this preview, Yunfei waved to them and prepared to head toward the staging area.

But Xingzhuo's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly stopped him.

"Just trade a few blows later and then forfeit immediately. The gap is too wide; there's no point to it, understand?"

He said this to Yunfei.

Yunfei was not a stubborn person; although there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, he nodded before turning to leave.

Yuto asked at this time: "Is that Hatake Saku very strong? Why make Brother Yunfei forfeit?"

Xingzhuo nodded, watching the youth who was also walking toward the staging area, and said with certainty: "That person is sixteen, the same age as Kureha Kurama, and his strength should be about the same—both are at the Jonin level. As for exactly how strong he is, there's no way to know, but you know, I can see other people's chakra levels and mental energy."
