"Anya, what are you doing here!"

Originally, Hyuga Hiashi only planned to stroll around the Konoha camp to relieve his inner turmoil.

Unexpectedly, while Hyuga Hiashi was wandering around the Konoha, he suddenly saw Hyuga Anya with Uchiha Yue. Seeing Uchiha Yue in particular, Hyuga Hiashi felt a fire burning in his chest. So, the moment he saw Hyuga Anya and Hyuga Hiashi together, he went straight to Hyuga Anya and angrily Uchiha Yue at Hyuga Anya Uchiha Yue.

"Our village is currently on high alert, so a Chunin you shouldn't be wandering around!"

"Besides, what kind of image do you project by associating with people from the Uchiha Clan?"

"Come back with me right now!"

After angrily reprimanding Hyuga Anya, Hyuga Hiashi's gaze shifted to Uchiha Yue, and he sneered, "Tsuki-kun, if you want to learn the techniques of our Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist, then challenge me fair and square, don't bother Anya! If I see you coming after Anya again, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"

"Hmph, Mr. Hiashi, I, Uchiha Yue, don't even consider your Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist a threat! Let alone stealing it!"

Hearing the sarcasm in Hyuga Hiashi's words, Uchiha Yue showed no fear whatsoever, saying with utter disdain, "Even my master, Hyuga Hiashi, has said that your Lady Tsunade Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist is nothing but child's play, and sooner or later it will be surpassed by my Falling Moon Style Taijutsu. So, Mr. Hiashi, you can rest assured, I have absolutely no intention of stealing your Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist. If Anya hadn't asked me to guide him in his training, I wouldn't be here today!"

With that, Uchiha Yue stared at Hyuga Hiashi with disdain and continued, "You can't even teach your own disciple properly, only teaching Anya Gentle Fist according to textbook knowledge. You're a failure as a teacher! Originally, Anya's talent was no less than mine, but I've already made countless contributions on the front lines, while Anya is just an unknown figure on the front lines. Mr. Hiashi, your methods of teaching disciples are truly admirable!"

"You!"

Seeing Uchiha Yue's arrogant demeanor, Hyuga Hiashi was about to utter a few harsh words, but Uchiha Yue didn't give him a chance to speak. Then, Hyuga Hiashi only saw Uchiha Yue give Hyuga Anya an apologetic look, clearly indicating that he hadn't intended to mock Hyuga Anya. What angered Hyuga Hiashi even more was that Hyuga Anya looked at Uchiha Yue with the same apologetic expression, as if Hyuga Hiashi's timing was inappropriate.

Immediately afterward, Uchiha Yue's figure slowly disappeared from Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Anya's sight. Then, once Uchiha Yue's figure had completely vanished, Hyuga Hiashi looked at Hyuga Anya beside him and questioned, "Anya, do you know you were wrong?"

"Mr. Hiashi, what did I do wrong?"

Hyuga Anya only showed her obedient demeanor in front of Uchiha Yue Hyuga Hiashi, she reverted to her usual haughty, Hyuga Clan -like aura, frowning as she retorted to Hyuga Hiashi, "Hiashi- sensei, Tsuki was completely blameless. I was the one who begged him to teach me how to use Gentle Fist. Tsuki's skill in jutsu is far beyond my reach. Moreover, I improved very quickly while Tsuki was guiding my training!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Hyuga Anya's words, Hyuga Hiashi raised his eyebrows slightly, then assumed the starting stance of Gentle Fist and said, "Aya, try attacking!"

"Yes, Mr. Hiashi!"

As soon as Hyuga Hiashi finished speaking, Hyuga Anya attacked without hesitation. Hyuga Hiashi's eyes widened in shock as he realized Hyuga Hiashi's progress was indeed rapid. In just a few minutes of fighting, Hyuga Hiashi felt Hyuga Anya's strength had increased by more than 30%, especially since Hyuga Anya attacks were no longer as rigid as before, which Hyuga Hiashi alarmed Hyuga Anya.

Then, when Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Anya stopped fighting at the same time, Hyuga Hiashi took a deep breath and asked, "Anya, what did Uchiha Yue just teach you?"

"Yue taught me so many useful things!"

Undoubtedly, Hyuga Anya and Hyuga Hiashi were very close. So, as soon as Hyuga Hiashi finished speaking, Hyuga Anya slowly said, "Yuki just taught me that when using Gentle Fist, I shouldn't be too rigid. Otherwise, enemies familiar with Gentle Fist will be able to see through my attack patterns at a glance. Moreover, Yuki also said that whether attacking or defending, I must react to each move. The advantage of Gentle Fist is its ability to counterattack. I must pay attention to this characteristic when attacking or defending."

"A counter-attack?"

It's important to know that Hyuga Hiashi was also a master of Gentle Fist. When Hyuga Anya arrived, Hyuga Hiashi instantly realized that Uchiha Yue's use of the phrase "counter-attacking" perfectly described the Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist. Just as Uchiha Yue thought, a ninja with formidable strength doesn't necessarily possess excellent teaching skills. Like Tsunade and Hyuga Hiashi, they were both incredibly strong, but when teaching their disciples, they completely missed the essence of their training.

So, at that very moment, Hyuga Hiashi Hyuga Anya suddenly had a moment of enlightenment.

At the same time, Hyuga Hiashi also felt that he had been too rigid in teaching Hyuga Anya and the others.

However, Hyuga Hiashi couldn't possibly admit this to Hyuga Anya. In fact, he was now even more suspicious that Uchiha Yue had ulterior motives for contacting Hyuga Anya. After Hyuga Hiashi calmed down, he gave Hyuga Anya a deep look, sighed, and said, "Anya, I'm sorry, I was really impulsive just now. You know, those Uchiha Clan guys are really annoying, so I couldn't help but be a little impatient when I saw Uchiha Clan."

"It's alright, Mr. Hiashi."

Hearing Hyuga Hiashi's words, Hyuga Anya maintained her smile and said, "Then, Hiashi- sensei, may I ask Tsuki for some training advice in the future?"

"Can."

At this moment, Hyuga Hiashi nodded slightly, then a faint smile appeared on his lips. He said, "However, Anya, you must report everything you learned from Uchiha Yue to me. Uchiha Yue's strength isn't that great, but his teaching methods are quite unique. If we can perfect the Gentle Fist training method, then we'll have more resources within the clan. It concerns your future growth, Anya, you absolutely cannot hide anything Uchiha Yue taught you, understand?"

"Okay... I understand."

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Anya took a deep breath, but hid her negative emotions deep inside.

Even Hyuga Anya herself didn't realize that when Hyuga Hiashi made no attempt to hide his ambition, she began to feel a growing aversion to her teacher.
