Teacher Su Yu

When Su Yu acquired the Gentle Fist.

He already possessed a foundation in the Gentle Fist no weaker than Hyuga Hiashi, had activated the Byakugan, and could even use the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.

Although he could not open the Gate of Opening yet, he had already mastered various techniques of the Gentle Fist.

He could not only dodge Hyuga Hiashi's Gentle Fist but also launch counterattacks.

Of course, he did not go too far; he made several mistakes on purpose. The pain from being struck by the Gentle Fist made him knit his brows, yet he did not stop his assault.

After Hyuga Hiashi probed him for a few more minutes, he stopped.

Su Yu followed suit and stopped as well.

"Your taijutsu is very impressive. Although it doesn't quite match the Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist, it should be no problem to fight a Chunin," Hyuga Hiashi evaluated.

"Thank you for your recognition," Su Yu smiled.

"I will trouble you with teaching Hinata. If you have time, teach Hanabi as well," Hyuga Hiashi looked favorably upon Su Yu.

"Yes," Su Yu did not hesitate.

Having obtained the bloodline of the Hyuga Clan, he had already achieved his goal.

Teaching them was naturally not a problem.

Hyuga Hiashi nodded with satisfaction and left the courtyard.

"Su... Su Yu-kun, you are amazing," Hinata Hyuga's eyes held a hint of admiration.

"You possess the bloodline of the Hyuga Clan and will surpass me sooner or later, so work hard. As long as you can defeat me, you will surely gain the recognition of Naruto Uzumaki. By then, even if you don't end up together, you can at least be friends," Su Yu looked at Hinata Hyuga.

Hinata Hyuga's face flushed slightly.

"Can you take me to your room?" Su Yu asked.

"Y... yes," Hinata Hyuga whispered.

The two walked one after the other until they arrived in front of Hinata Hyuga's room.

She opened the door and made room for Su Yu to enter.

Hinata Hyuga's room was decorated very simply, not at all like that of a young lady of a noble house.

Su Yu sat down at the low table.

"I... I will go make you some tea," Hinata Hyuga's voice sounded a bit nervous.

This was the first time she had let a boy into her room.

Su Yu being able to gain Hyuga Hiashi's recognition made Hinata Hyuga admire him, and she treated him as a taijutsu teacher.

Therefore, when Su Yu said he wanted to come to her room, she did not hesitate much.

Su Yu watched Hinata Hyuga leave and looked around at the room's layout.

Suddenly, he heard faint footsteps.

Turning his head, he saw a girl with Byakugan staring intently at him.

"Is something the matter?" Su Yu asked.

"Are you my sister's boyfriend?" Hanabi Hyuga asked the question she cared about most.

"Your sister is the young lady of the Hyuga Clan, while I am just an ordinary person. Do you think I am worthy?" Su Yu gave a self-deprecating smile.

He had a very clear understanding of his own situation.

Judging by the current circumstances, there was no possibility between him and Hinata Hyuga.

Unless he became a high-ranking official in Konoha or reached the Kage Level.

A prestigious family like the Hyuga Clan valued social standing; an ordinary person without status like him was simply not qualified to marry Hinata Hyuga.

Of course, this was only for now.

He would eventually leave Konoha, which destined that his relationship with Hinata Hyuga would not, and could not, be too intimate.

Once it became too intimate, this young lady of the Hyuga Clan would become his weakness.

Su Yu did not want to be held hostage by anyone.

Once he successfully reached the Kage Level, he would reappear before Hinata Hyuga.

Before that, the most he could do was to overwrite the affection Naruto Uzumaki had left in Hinata Hyuga's heart—in other words, play the hero saving the beauty.

This opportunity should arise during the final rounds of the Chunin Exams.

"Then why are you in my sister's room?" Hanabi Hyuga was silent for a moment before asking.

"Your sister wants to become stronger, and I also want to know how powerful the Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist is," Su Yu replied.

"I see," Hanabi Hyuga understood.

"If you need guidance, I can also offer you some pointers on your taijutsu," Su Yu looked at her.

"I don't need your guidance. A Genin is not qualified to instruct me," Hanabi Hyuga said bluntly.

"Fine, I just hope you won't regret it later," Su Yu shrugged.

Hanabi Hyuga let out a cold snort and left.

Not long after.

Hinata Hyuga returned.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

As she spoke, she poured tea for Su Yu.

Su Yu watched her quietly as she poured the tea.

Hinata Hyuga seemed to sense his gaze, and a blush crept onto her face.

Once both cups were filled.

Hinata Hyuga sat down opposite Su Yu and lowered her small head.

Su Yu picked up his teacup and sipped the hot tea.

For a moment, the room fell silent.

Hinata Hyuga did not dare to look at Su Yu.

Su Yu was preoccupied with his tea, seemingly having no intention of making conversation.

It was only after Su Yu finished his cup of tea.

That Hinata Hyuga finally raised her head, cautiously observing Su Yu.

"Based on my experience fighting the Hyuga Clan Head, there are several points you need to pay attention to. First, you must understand that the faster your attack speed, the more pressure you can exert on your opponent, but you cannot rely on speed alone. You need to find the opponent's weaknesses and strike at their vital points..."

Su Yu set down his teacup, looked at Hinata Hyuga, and began his lesson.

In reality, these insights came from his own perspective after mastering the Gentle Fist.

Before he had acquired the Gentle Fist, he had thought Hinata Hyuga's Gentle Fist was quite good.

After he obtained the Gentle Fist, his understanding of it was completely different from before, and he had identified many more issues with Hinata Hyuga's technique.

This was the difference between an amateur and an expert.

Hinata Hyuga listened very intently.

In fact, halfway through, she even began to take notes on what Su Yu was saying.

Su Yu's explanation made many things clear to her.

Many points that had previously puzzled her suddenly became perfectly understandable.

Su Yu spoke for over ten minutes before stopping.

"That's enough for now. I hope to see some progress from you when I return from my mission."

"Yes, Teacher Su Yu." Hinata Hyuga stood up and bowed to Su Yu.

"Just call me Su Yu; there's no need for 'Teacher'." Su Yu waved his hand.

"Su Yu-kun." Hinata Hyuga said, slowly straightening up.

Just then.

Su Yu appeared right in front of her, and under Hinata Hyuga's puzzled gaze, Su Yu's large hand landed on her small head.

"Train hard, and don't let me down."

After saying this, he withdrew his hand and walked away.

Hinata Hyuga stood stunned for a few seconds before snapping out of it and hurriedly chasing after him to catch up.

Su Yu walked in front, and she followed behind.

The two of them walked out of the Hyuga Clan compound just like that.

Upon reaching the gate.

Hinata Hyuga stopped and watched Su Yu's retreating figure.

He left without looking back even once.

The Chunin guard at the Hyuga Clan gate watched their eldest young lady's expression and took note of Su Yu.

Su Yu left the Hyuga Clan and headed straight home.

Once he reached his bedroom.

He activated his Byakugan without hesitation.

Instantly, everything in his surroundings was brought into his view.

The outline of every person and the flow of their chakra were clearly visible.
