Strange Crystal

"Secret?"

Upon hearing Hyuga Anya's words, Uchiha Yue stopped abruptly, ready to listen to the secrets hidden within the Piranha. Previously, Uchiha Yue had felt something was strange: why would the Hyuga Clan ninjas bring Hyuga Anya to hunt the Piranha in the Doomsday Forest? After all, Piranha were the most terrifying creatures in the Doomsday Forest, and Uchiha Yue also wanted to know what secrets Piranha held that would make the Hyuga Clan ninjas hunt Piranha down at such a cost.

Hyuga Anya saw Uchiha Yue stop in his tracks, and her expression gradually calmed. Then, after Hyuga Anya a deep breath, she dragged her badly injured leg to Uchiha Yue's side and softly said, "Tsuki, before I uncover the secret hidden within the Piranha, could you heal my ankle injury?"

"Um."

Hyuga Anya finished speaking, Uchiha Yue nodded indifferently, and his hands immediately gathered the light of Medical Ninjutsu chakra.

Then, as Uchiha Yue healed Hyuga Anya's injuries, he could clearly feel her staring at him with intense gaze. However, feeling that burning gaze, Uchiha Yue could only sigh silently. Because, as the rift between Uchiha Yue and the Hyuga Clan widened, Uchiha Yue Hyuga Anya with Hyuga Anya bound to deteriorate further.

It seems that when Uchiha Yue took revenge on the Hyuga Clan ninjas before, Hyuga Anya Uchiha Yue n't help but comfort him, which left a thorn in Uchiha Yue's heart. Later, when the relationship between Uchiha Yue and the Hyuga Clan deteriorates to a certain extent, Hyuga Anya will inevitably have to choose between her clan and Uchiha Yue. Therefore, in order not to put Hyuga Anya in a difficult position, Uchiha Yue feels that he needs to be more ruthless and Hiruzen his bond with Hyuga Anya as soon as possible.

Only in this way could Uchiha Yue feel a little at ease.

Hyuga Anya's ankle injury was just a simple cut and bruise. After Uchiha Yue used Medical Ninjutsu Uchiha Yue treat it and bandaged it, it was almost completely healed. After treating Hyuga Anya's ankle, Tsuki still looked at her coldly and said, "Hyuga Anya, now tell me the secret of your Piranha hunting. As for the secret hidden within the Piranha, consider it payment for healing you."

"Yes, thank you, Yue."

When Uchiha Yue arrived, Hyuga Anya didn't complain. A bitter smile played on her lips, revealing her troubled mood. Hyuga Anya, "Tsuki, the secret hidden within Piranha Uchiha Yue is recorded in the secret scrolls of our Uchiha Yue Hyuga Clan. Therefore, Tsuki, I hope you won't tell anyone about what's between us now. Otherwise, I will be a sinner to our Hyuga Clan."

Upon seeing Uchiha Yue before Hyuga Anya, Hyuga Anya maintained her indifferent expression, then sighed deeply and said, "Alas, Yue, the reason we Hyuga Clan hunt Piranha is because a strange crystal grows inside Piranha bodies. This crystal is hidden within the Piranha, and only our Hyuga Clan's Byakugan can detect its existence. As for the function of that strange crystal, it helps our Hyuga Clan better master the Byakugan."

"Moon, as someone from the Uchiha Clan, you should know that our Hyuga Clan's Byakugan also requires training, right?"

"Yes, I know."

Hearing Hyuga Anya's words, Uchiha Yue raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "When the Hyuga Clan members first awakened their Byakugan, the Byakugan they used had flaws. Only as their mastery of the Byakugan improved could they truly possess Byakugan without blind spots. However, are you sure that kind of crystal really grows inside Piranha? And can that crystal growing inside Piranha really help the Hyuga Clan members quickly master Byakugan without blind spots?"

"Moon, everything I said is true."

At this moment, seeing that Uchiha Yue still remained skeptical, Hyuga Anya anxiously said, "Yue, if you don't believe me, then please help me catch some Piranha! Those crystals are hidden inside the Piranha's bodies, and only the Byakugan of our Hyuga Clan can detect them. So, if you want to study those strange crystals inside the Piranha, I can use my Byakugan to help you! Yue, please believe me!"

"Okay, fine."

As soon as Hyuga Anya finished speaking, Uchiha Yue merely nodded indifferently and replied, "Hyuga Anya, you just learned that the strange crystals inside the Piranha can only help your Hyuga Clan quickly master the Byakugan with its perfect range. Therefore, those crystals growing inside the Piranha are of no use to me. Alright, I still need to complete the Anbu selection exam, so I won't chat with you here any longer. You... good luck!"

At this point, Uchiha Yue had no further intention of speaking with Hyuga Anya and turned to disappear from Hyuga Anya sight.

Hyuga Anya watching Uchiha Yue disappear from her sight, Hinata Anya remained silent for a long time, her eyes red, before dragging her weary body away. However, not long after Hyuga Anya left, Uchiha Yue suddenly reappeared at the place where he had been talking with Hyuga Anya. Moreover, Uchiha Yue's purpose in appearing there was to investigate whether those Piranha truly harbored that strange crystal within their bodies!

Immediately afterwards...

Uchiha Yue then arrived at the river where the Piranha were hiding and used his Purple Eye to observe their Piranha.

Then, when Uchiha Yue used his Purple Eye to perceive several Piranha appearing in front of him, he almost without hesitation cut down his Fubuki Tachi and killed the Piranha. Afterwards, Uchiha Yue the corpses of the Piranha he had killed and once again used his Purple Eye to examine Piranha.

Because, in Uchiha Yue's view, the Purple Eye he possessed were similar in ability to the Hyuga Clan Byakugan of the Hyuga clan.

Therefore, even if Uchiha Yue didn't possess the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan, he could still use his Purple Eye to probe the strange crystals inside the Piranha's body.

Then, when Uchiha Yue used his Purple Eye to carefully examine the Piranha corpses before him, he indeed discovered a transparent crystal inside some of the Piranha. However, Piranha with that strange crystal were extremely rare. Therefore, when Uchiha Yue the strange transparent crystal from the Piranha, he was very careful, afraid of damaging the hard-won crystal.

"Is this the crystal from Anya's collection?"
