Naruto: God-Tier System Chapter 26

After repelling Hyuga Hiashi, Fugaku Uchiha formed hand seals and unleashed the Great Fireball Technique, sending a four-meter-wide fireball crashing toward his opponent.

Watching the fireball erupt from Fugaku Uchiha, Hyuga Hiashi's face turned pale with shock; disregarding the meager chakra remaining in his body, he unleashed it all to dodge at high speed.

"BOOM!"

The ground was smashed into a massive crater; had Hyuga Hiashi been hit, he surely would have perished.

"You bastard, are you trying to kill Hiashi?" Nawaki demanded angrily.

The rest of Class A also glared at Fugaku Uchiha with hostility.

"Hmph! His skills are inferior, so he deserves to die if he gets killed," Fugaku Uchiha said coldly.

"Tsk tsk! As expected of the Uchiha Clan leader's son, daring to use ninjutsu inside the school—truly impressive," Hyuga Shin said, looking at Fugaku Uchiha with a playful expression.

At the Ninja Academy, the unauthorized use of ninjutsu was forbidden; one might even be invited for tea by the Anbu if they were careless.

"Who are you?" Fugaku Uchiha frowned, clearly irritated by Hyuga Shin's tone.

"Young Master, he is that trash from the Hyuga Clan who cannot awaken the Byakugan," a lackey beside Fugaku Uchiha replied.

"So it's you. You don't even have the Byakugan, yet you dare to stand up and speak," Fugaku Uchiha said, immediately turning disdainful upon learning this.

Unlike the Uchiha Clan, every member of the Hyuga Clan was capable of awakening the Byakugan, an advantage the Uchiha Clan did not possess.

If one were in the Uchiha Clan and failed to awaken the Sharingan, it only meant their talent was lacking, but in the Hyuga Clan, that made one trash.

As for Fugaku Uchiha himself, he had awakened his Sharingan at age nine, making him the earliest to do so in the history of the Uchiha Clan since Madara Uchiha, and he was currently recognized as the most talented member of the clan.

Fugaku Uchiha even felt confident that he would surpass Madara Uchiha and lead the Uchiha Clan to the pinnacle of glory.

Naturally, he looked down on Hyuga Shin, whom he considered trash, feeling that even speaking to him was beneath his station.

Watching Fugaku Uchiha's arrogant display, Hyuga Shin felt deeply annoyed; this guy was trying to act superior right in front of him.

"Hmm! You are Mikoto Uchiha. Why are you with this trash, holding hands like this? You are simply bringing shame to our Uchiha Clan."

Suddenly, Fugaku Uchiha noticed Mikoto Uchiha holding hands with Hyuga Shin, and his expression turned ugly at once.

Seeing everyone's gaze fixed upon her, Mikoto Uchiha lowered her head in embarrassment, feeling deeply uncomfortable; she tried to pull her hand away, but Hyuga Shin held it too tightly for her to break free.

"Get away from this trash immediately, or I won't mind having you expelled from the Uchiha Clan."

As the son of the clan leader, he had the power to expel someone from the clan, though this was naturally limited to ordinary members of the Uchiha Clan.

If this were the Mikoto Uchiha of the past, Fugaku Uchiha certainly wouldn't have dared to say such things, because Mikoto Uchiha's grandfather had been an elder of the Uchiha Clan with real authority.

However, Mikoto's grandfather had died a year ago from an old injury, and her parents had passed away even earlier, so the current Mikoto was just an ordinary clansman.

Hearing Fugaku Uchiha's words, Mikoto's face turned white, but a flash of stubbornness crossed her eyes; she kept her head down and did not obey him.

She didn't know why, but she simply loved being with Hyuga Shin; there was no reason, she just felt incredibly at peace when she was with him.

Therefore, her instinct was to refuse when told to stay away from him.

"Very well!" Fugaku Uchiha roared in anger, "You are no longer a member of the Uchiha Clan."

Although Mikoto's grandfather had left behind some influence, people were fickle, and the sentiment had cooled; thus, Mikoto being expelled from the Uchiha Clan was essentially a done deal.

Mikoto clutched Hyuga Shin's hand, her face pale and her eyes brimming with tears, as if a torrential downpour could start at any moment.

However, though Mikoto appeared fragile on the outside, she was incredibly strong-willed and forced herself to hold back the tears.

It wasn't that she had deep feelings for the Uchiha Clan, but rather that she was terrified and lost, not knowing where to go after being driven out of the only home she had ever known.

Seeing the pitiful Mikoto, Hyuga Shin decided he absolutely could not tolerate this and kicked Fugaku Uchiha.

Amidst the shock of the crowd, Fugaku Uchiha was sent flying like a ragdoll for dozens of meters before crashing into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Whether it was the weakened Hyuga Hiashi, who was being supported by Hizashi Hyuga, or the bewildered Mikoto, whose hand was still held by Hyuga Shin, everyone stared with wide eyes.

"Shin, you're actually this strong?" Nawaki rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he was seeing.

Although Hyuga Shin was quite tall, Fugaku Uchiha was a full head taller than him.

Yet the smaller Hyuga Shin had kicked Fugaku Uchiha flying dozens of meters away, and it was unclear if Fugaku Uchiha was even still alive.

The onlookers silently mourned for Fugaku Uchiha, then looked at Hyuga Shin as if he were a rampaging monster.

If nothing else, this display of raw power made them fear him like a tiger.

"I'm telling you, Shin, how is your strength so great? Yesterday, you shattered a target with a single kunai, which already shocked us, and now you can kick someone dozens of meters away. You're only five years old! That's too monstrous."

Nawaki clicked his tongue in amazement.

"It's because I was born with great strength! Maybe it's compensation from the heavens for me not having the Byakugan," Hyuga Shin said, half-jokingly.

"The Sage of Six Paths once said that when one door is closed to you, a window will surely be opened."

"Isn't the Sage of Six Paths a legend? Did he really say that?" Nawaki asked skeptically.

"Of course, I read it in an ancient text; it was indeed said by the Sage of Six Paths."

Hyuga Shin lied through his teeth, not at all afraid that the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who was watching over the ninja world from the shadows, might hear him.

Nawaki believed him immediately, already wondering if the Sage of Six Paths had left any windows open for him.

Chapter 27: Feeling pretty proud of yourself, aren't you?

"I suggest you all stop chatting and go check on Fugaku Uchiha! If that guy really kicks the bucket, Shin is going to be in serious trouble," Shikaku Nara said, shaking his head to interrupt them.

"Don't worry! I know my limits; at most, he's got seven or eight broken ribs, but he won't die," Shin Hyuga said nonchalantly.

When he had struck, Shin Hyuga had been very measured; if he had truly kicked Fugaku Uchiha to death, there would absolutely be no place for him in Konoha.

Even with Tsunade backing him, being a member of the Hyuga Clan wouldn't be enough to save him.

Based on Shin Hyuga's understanding of Sarutobi Hiruzen, if Fugaku Uchiha had actually died, he would undoubtedly have handed Shin Hyuga over to the Uchiha Clan to deal with.

Because he wanted to avoid internal strife in Konoha, he would have no other choice; the Uchiha Clan of this era was not comparable to the one that would eventually be wiped out.

If the Uchiha Clan chose to rebel now, even if the entirety of Konoha suppressed them together, the village would suffer heavy losses, and the other villages would certainly seize the opportunity to invade.

Therefore, if Shin Hyuga didn't want a falling out with Konoha, it was best not to kill Fugaku Uchiha.

"Don't worry, Mikoto. Leaving the Uchiha Clan might be for the best. They have been living in the glory of the Warring States period for too long; in truth, the Uchiha Clan began to decline after Madara Uchiha left, so leaving now is fine."

Shin Hyuga comforted Mikoto.
