Don't Covet My Body

Shangguan Yue spread the fingers of both hands, each fingertip firing a white jade water droplet like a bullet.

Hyuga Hiashi charged into the center of the crowd, widening his Byakugan. "These droplets contain very little chakra; they shouldn't be much of a problem."

Beside him, Hizashi Hyuga also activated his Byakugan, frowning. "Brother, there is something wrong with these droplets. It feels like there is more to them than just chakra."

Hyuga Hiashi rolled his eyes. "Hizashi, I am the older brother. Listen to me."

Conceited and ambitious, Hyuga Hiashi was determined to revitalize his clan. Having awakened his Byakugan at age three, he considered himself a prodigy and was pampered by everyone around him.

Since Hizashi Hyuga had only just awakened his Byakugan, Hiashi had no intention of listening to him. He rushed forward headlong, eager to prove himself to his brother.

"My foolish little brother, watch closely as your big brother scatters these droplets. I am far stronger than that Uchiha Fugaku!"

"Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Six Palms."

Hyuga Hiashi swung his palms, accumulating a massive amount of chakra by the sixth strike, and met the droplets head-on.

The collision between the droplets and the Gentle Fist defied Hiashi's expectations; the droplets simply disintegrated, as if they were nothing more than ordinary water that shattered at the slightest touch.

"I told you so. The Gentle Fist and Kekkei Genkai of the Hyuga clan are the best."

While Hyuga Hiashi was still gloating, the shattered droplets seemed to be accelerated by nitrogen, instantly transforming into a fine mist that flew in all directions.

The surrounding students swatted at the droplets, causing them to disperse and vanish. Hidden within them was spiritual energy, invisible to the naked eye, which scattered along with the water.

Propelled by chakra, the energy expanded instantly, engulfing everyone present.

"Hm? What's going on?"

"My head is spinning."

"My head hurts."

One by one, they grew dizzy and swayed, clutching their heads as they rolled on the ground. Those with weaker willpower fainted outright, with Hyuga Hiashi taking the brunt of the impact.

Only Hizashi Hyuga managed a muffled groan, appearing to be in the best condition, while none of the other students could hold on.

"Hm? If I recall correctly, your name is Hizashi Hyuga, right? Not bad, your willpower is decent. I'll leave it to you to explain the situation once the teacher arrives. Let's go, Nawaki, this is truly boring!"

"Wait for me, wait for me! Brother Yue, you're too OP! You took them all down with just one move. Teach me, teach me!"

"You can't learn this. It's a Kekkei Genkai. Let's go."

Nawaki followed behind Shangguan Yue, trotting happily as they left the Ninja Academy. Moments later, Sarutobi Hinai arrived at the training ground, her eyes widening in shock at the scene before her.

"What happened? Did spies from another village attack?"

"Teacher."

"Who is that?"

Hizashi Hyuga lay on the ground, extending a hand weakly. "Teacher, I'm here."

"Student Hizashi, are you alright? Tell the teacher what happened."

"It was Shangguan Yue. We were all defeated by Shangguan Yue alone."

After saying this, Hizashi Hyuga also drifted into unconsciousness. Sarutobi Hinai frowned deeply as she looked at the scene.

"Is this Spirit Release truly so terrifying? If I had known, I would have sent a Shadow Clone to report while I stayed behind. How could they all be down in just a few minutes?"

Not long after Shangguan Yue and Nawaki left the Ninja Academy, they ran into Tsunade.

Seeing Tsunade suddenly appear before them, Nawaki instinctively covered his coin purse, while Shangguan Yue didn't seem surprised at all.

"You finally decided to show yourself."

"Oh? You knew I was following?"

"Don't be ridiculous. You're like a tail; when have you not been around lately? If it's not you, it's a Slug Clone."

Seeing Shangguan Yue's resentful gaze, Tsunade acted as if it were only natural, without a hint of guilt.

"I have to protect you, of course. You're the only seedling left. But is your Kekkei Genkai related to the spirit?"

"Yes, that's right. I only just awakened it recently."

Tsunade walked in front, then suddenly turned back and pulled Shangguan Yue into her arms. "My little man, my heart is beating faster and faster. You really are a walking treasure."

"Mmph, mph, let go! I'm going to suffocate!"

"Sister, I'm still here. Watch your influence."

"It would be better if you weren't here. By the way, why haven't you gone to train with Orochimaru? Is it because you have nowhere to spend your allowance again?"

Nawaki jumped in fright, clutching his coin purse. "I knew it, you definitely have bad intentions. I'm leaving now, and I won't be coming home for a while."

Nawaki scurried off in the other direction. "Brother Yue, see you at school!"

Seeing that the eyesore Nawaki had finally left, Tsunade released Shangguan Yue and said coquettishly, "Yue-kun, this little woman is free tonight. Would you care to grace me with your presence?"

"Ugh, can you act normal? I'm busy tonight; I need to organize my Kekkei Genkai."

Shangguan Yue broke free from Tsunade's embrace and landed on the ground.

"Oh? Little man, your physical strength has increased this much? You can actually break free from my restraint!"

"Don't be ridiculous. Who am I? Your man, the future King of the Ninja World. I have to improve every single day. Just wait, in another year or two, I'll surpass you, and then I'll show you how powerful I am."

"Hahaha, alright, alright, King of the Ninja World. Let's go home, King of the Ninja World~"

"I'm not a child, watch your tone."

"Yes, yes, you're an adult now. By the way, what is the specific principle behind your Spirit Release? I just saw you knock them all out in an instant; the power is quite impressive!"
