Uchiha: Hyuga Are All Spineless Cowards!

"What about the other technique you mentioned? I trust your assurances, but we need to see the effects of the Ninjutsu so I can explain it to my clan."

Hiashi was quite satisfied, but one thing is one thing.

Kyohiko said, "Shall I demonstrate?"

"I'll do it."

The Hizashi moves forward one step.

Kyohiko nodded.

Then, he Hand Seals, and in an instant, strands of hair grew and lengthened, piercing Hizashi Hyuga's body one by one under his precise and powerful Chakra control.

Each strand of hair was imbued with intense Chakra.

Hizashi Hyuga immediately retreated.

but.

Before he could run, a hair silently arrived, piercing his body one by one.

Hizashi tried to swing his arm and use Chakra to cut off his hair, only to find that he couldn't gather enough Chakra in his palm.

Pressure Point Strike, sealing techniques.

Hizashi Hyuga looked at Kyohiko in surprise.

no.

You're really good at that?

Hyuga Hiashi had been maintaining his Byakugan, so when Hizashi was completely overwhelmed by his massive amount of hair, he immediately realized that his guess was correct.

Hair and Pressure Point Strike —a brilliant combination!

This is only because Kyohiko's Pressure Point Strike is rather rudimentary; he's only mastered a small portion of it. If this kid possessed the Byakugan, he could see all the acupressure points on his body...

Combined with the "hair" technique, the effect is absolutely terrifying.

"While it's not very effective against heavily defended enemies, the distance issue is definitely resolved quite well."

Kyohiko withdrew his Ninjutsu.

The artificial, low-quality "Rabbit Hair Needle" will definitely not let the Hyuga Clan suffer.

Hyuga Hiashi nodded repeatedly.

He was very satisfied.

Kyohiko handed over the scroll.

"Normally, joining the medical system would greatly benefit you; it's a win-win situation. I don't need to make any extra contributions. But this is our way of showing sincerity, and I hope the Hyuga Clan will reciprocate with the same sincerity."

"It is indeed a win-win decision. I will also facilitate the matter of the acupoints and will never let Kyohiko's efforts be in vain."

Hiashi accepted the Ninjutsu scroll.

The Hyuga Clan would certainly benefit from joining the medical system, but Hyuga Clan status, they could maintain their current position without needing to contribute any more manpower or effort.

But he couldn't say such a thing.

No matter how talented Kyohiko is, he's still a child.

Adults must follow the rules, but children, as long as they don't cross the line, can be less strict about the rules to a certain extent.

If we flip the table then, everyone will suffer.

Age and talent are the foundation of confidence.

Hiashi carefully examined the scroll.

Yang Release Ninjutsu.

He doesn't know how; he needs more time to study it, but the results should be real.

Hiashi away.

"You'll definitely get good news in two days at most."

"No rush. I need to wait for someone to come back. Until then, even if you're free, it will be difficult for me to find the time to help you."

"Alright."

On the streets of Konoha, ninjas dressed in clothes bearing the Uchiha Clan crest patrolled back and forth, their eyes and attention elsewhere.

A moment later, one person hurriedly ran back.

"How about it?"

"They went to the Hyuga Clan."

"The Hyuga Clan Hyuga Clan, damn it, what are they doing with Konoha again?"

The Yashiro Uchiha had a gloomy look in his eyes.

First, a large number of the Hyuga Clan members went to Konoha Hospital. Then, Kyohiko Yoshimine had disappeared for several days, reappeared and went directly to the Hyuga Clan again.

He absolutely refused to believe that the two were unrelated.

Konoha, Hyuga...

They've formed a new partnership?

Medical treatment?

In Konoha, if we're talking about who poses the greatest threat to the Uchiha besides the Hokage Faction, there's no doubt it's the Hyuga Clan.

And now.

The Hyuga Clan is growing stronger, while the Uchiha Clan is conservative and suppressing them. If this continues, the Uchiha Clan will likely be squeezed out by the Hyuga Clan in various fields.

"Uncle Yashiro Uchiha, we..."

"Let's patrol first, and not give them anything to complain about."

The Yashiro Uchiha lowered his voice.

He walked forward silently.

The Uchiha had a tough life.

Their every move was being scrutinized by the villagers and Konoha High Command, especially during this period of power transition in Konoha, when they had to be extra careful.

In particular, Konoha is very powerful right now!

As dusk fell and the sun set behind the western mountains, the Police Force finally finished their work and returned to their tribe's territory.

To the clan.

The clan chief's room was filled with people.

"Fugaku, those spineless Hyuga Clan are getting closer and closer to Konoha."

"..."

Fugaku remained silent.

"We must do something, otherwise, given Konoha's current capabilities and development, the space for the Uchiha will only shrink."

The Yashiro Uchiha offered a low-pitched admonition.

Fugaku sighed, "I originally thought this war would be an opportunity for the Uchiha to rise again, but I never expected..."

This crisis originates from three major ninja villages, and its danger is absolutely no less than that of the Second Shinobi World War a few years ago.

How could the Uchiha not be used in such a crisis?

So, he started calculating, thinking that he could use this to negotiate with Konoha and demand more leverage, especially now that Hokage had become Tsunade and Danzo left...

He thought he had seen a turning point.

but.

Who could have imagined that the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure, hailed as the "strongest Kazekage," would die so silently on the border of the Land of Fire?

The Sunagakure's offensive was thus neutralized without them even realizing it.

"I've heard that the Fourth Kazekage is currently searching for Gold Dust in the desert of the Land of Wind to fill the void. Alas, after this battle, Sunagakure won't be able to recover for several years."

An elder sighed.

"On the eastern front, our people didn't contribute much at all; the Hokage Faction handled everything themselves. The other Konoha clans are all on their side, so we have no advantage."

Another elder spoke in a somber tone.

They didn't actually hope for Konoha's defeat, but rather that only when Konoha was at a disadvantage would the Uchiha have any hope of turning the tide and returning to the center of power.

Otherwise, they cannot see a future.

The room was deathly silent.

Fugaku remained silent, as if he had only come to listen without offering any opinion.

After a short while, a loud cry came from outside.

Fugaku Uchiha sighed softly.

"Let's stop here. I understand how everyone feels, but it's not the right time to take any action, and future developments may not necessarily be favorable to us..."

"At least, Tsunade, Kyohiko Yoshimine, and the others are much stronger than Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo."

After he finished speaking, he got up and opened the door, as if to see the guest out.

The clansmen looked at each other, but had no choice but to get up and leave.

The Yashiro Uchiha was the last to leave.

He gazed at Fugaku.

"Patriarch, at a time like this, you must step forward and make a decision to unify the opinions of the clan. Otherwise, it will be too late once the clan falls into chaos and disintegrates!"

"I... I will."

Fugaku hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

The Yashiro Uchiha sighed and left.

The room was silent for a few seconds before Mikoto Uchiha entered, carrying the child with a concerned expression on her face.

"Fugaku, just now..."

"Yes, it's okay, thank you."

Fugaku knew that although Itachi was less than a year old, he was very well-behaved and rarely cried. Just now, Mikoto must have sensed something was wrong, so she deliberately made him cry.

"I took Itachi to the hospital for a checkup today, and I saw them wandering around the hospital. It looks like they're planning to get a job there."

Mikoto is holding Itachi Uchiha.

This child is indeed well-behaved.

She had just been beaten and cried, but stopped crying immediately after being comforted for a short while.

She recounted the situation at the time.

"Oh, right, Yuuka is inside too."

"Hyuga Natsuka? Isn't she Hiashi's wife?"

Fugaku Uchiha was taken aback.

As the wife of the head of the household, how could she have to work at a hospital?

Has the Hiashi gone mad?

Wrong!

Hyuga Clan gone mad?

He found it hard to believe. The Hyuga Clan was known for its rigidity and inflexibility, yet now Hyuga Clan was starting to adapt, allowing its members to train in Medical Ninjutsu...

In fact, the matriarch of the family personally led the team.

How much determination does that take?

Fugaku Uchiha couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.

In this great battle, the Konoha Sannin gradually rose to power and occupied the center of authority, while a new generation of geniuses also emerged.

Top talents include Minato Namikaze, Kyohiko Yoshimine, and the new generation around his age.

Secondly Kakashi Hatake, etc.

In comparison, the Uchiha had never had the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities in the past, which made Uchiha very embarrassed.

It's not that they lack strength, but rather that Konoha simply doesn't need them.

Now, Hyuga Clan...

Change or integration?

Fugaku Uchiha felt as if two paths lay ahead, but he was unsure which one to choose.

"Fugaku, what are your thoughts?"

Let's eat first.

The next day, the Hyuga Clan...

"Master, wasn't the vote already taken yesterday?"

"Today, I'm here to show you what the Hyuga Clan can gain by making small changes."

Hiashi spoke, he handed the scroll to the clan elder below.

The family elders passed it around, then exchanged glances and said, "This technique..."

"It can be used in conjunction with Pressure Point Strike to achieve a very strong sealing effect."

Hizashi replied, "I experienced it firsthand."

Silence fell over the audience.

These elders, having cultivated their skills along the way, naturally understood the importance of Pressure Point Strike for the Hyuga Clan. That's why they consistently opposed collaborating with Konoha to research these so-called "pressure points."

In their view, this was clearly a secret technique of the Konoha High Command Hyuga Clan.

After a moment of silence, Hyuga Kisai spoke up and asked.

"Hizashi, does Kyohiko Yoshimine really know Pressure Point Strike?"

"It's true, and they're very skilled at it. They must have mastered quite a few acupoints, and..."

Hizashi stood up to answer.

Finally, he looked at Hiashi, seemingly seeking instructions.

Hiashi nodded slightly.

Hizashi revealed this.

"Elder Kisai, he also discovered an acupoint that, when stimulated, can grant one powerful explosive force."

"What?"

Hyuga Kisai found it difficult to remain calm.

Are there such mysteries about acupoints in the human body?

"Really?"

"You're not kidding us, are you?"

"This..."

The other elders whispered among themselves, each one finding it hard to believe, or rather, unwilling to believe it.

The Hyuga Clan has studied acupoints for a century, but has not yet discovered any special acupoints.

They didn't believe that an ordinary person could research something they couldn't, simply by spending some time on it.

This view is widely accepted.

Although the Hyuga Clan is not as outwardly proud as the Uchiha, they still have their own inherent arrogance and look down on ordinary ninjas.

Hiashi knows it can't let those old guys lead the way anymore.

He said calmly, "Kyohiko promised that if we agree and sign a contract, he will share the forbidden acupoints we have discovered with us."

"This..."

If the research is only shared after it's completed, most people will think it's a free lunch. But if you can get it just by agreeing and signing a contract, it's highly likely to be true.

Now they had no choice but to believe it.

They looked at each other, speechless for a long time.

"As the head of the family, I'll take the lead."

Hyuga Hiashi stood up. "I agree to cooperate with Kyohiko to study the mysteries of acupuncture points."

I support it.

The Hizashi also got up.

Kisai glanced around; the other elders were all observing and hesitating.

He no longer hesitated. "I support it too."

A smile appeared on Hiashi's face.

Hyuga Kisai has a lot of influence among the elders, and since even he agrees, the matter is basically a done deal.

With Hyuga Kisai agreeing, the other elders followed suit.

Within a short while, everyone in the group expressed their opinion.

Eighty percent agreed, and twenty percent abstained.

Pass!

Several days later, in the morning, outside Konoha.

Orochimaru looked up at the gate in the distance, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Approach slowly.

"Lord Orochimaru!"

The two people at the door had already gotten up and were standing there.

Upon seeing Orochimaru, their faces showed excitement and a mix of emotions.

Orochimaru smiled slightly.

Please register.

"Yes!"

Haneda excitedly helped fill out the form, leaving only the last name unwritten.

After signing his name, Orochimaru headed towards the Hokage Building.

Upon reaching the door, he looked ahead with a puzzled expression.

More than twenty female ninjas from the Hyuga Clan crossed the Mingcha Street and headed towards Konoha Hospital on the other side.

His eyes showed doubt.

The Hyuga Clan, Konoha Hospital?

What's going on?

Orochimaru quickened his pace, filled with doubt.

Upon arriving at the office, he caught up with Tsunade and inquired about the situation, only to learn about the current cooperative relationship Hyuga Clan and Kyohiko and Konoha.

Orochimaru's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Collaborating with Hyuga?

Interesting!

"Tsunade, I'm going to the Anbu base..."

"No need, he'll be there soon knowing you're back."

Tsunade understands Kyohiko.

Once the Anbu receive the news, they can arrive in just a few seconds using the Flying Thunder God technique.

Orochimaru harbored doubts.

The next instant, he sensed a fluctuation of Chakra outside.

Immediately, Kyohiko's Chakra and aura dissipated.

Orochimaru turned around and Gate of Opening, only to see Kyohiko standing in the outer corridor.

He was a little confused.

"Flying Thunder God? Minato is in the Anbu?"

"No, Minato isn't suited for the missions and lifestyle of the Anbu, so he doesn't want to join. Currently, I'm in charge of the Anbu Anbu..."

Kyohiko explained.

Orochimaru's face showed surprise.

The Minato is not in the Anbu.

So, Kyohiko's Flying Thunder God is his own?

Really...

That's amazing!

Orochimaru sighed inwardly.

Even he couldn't master such an S-rank Space-Time Ninjutsu, and Kyohiko's research time was definitely not long.

He was amazed for a moment, then looked back at the boy in front of him.

Age is Kyohiko's biggest problem.

"Minato is indeed not suitable to be the Anbu Captain, but you are too young. You may have the ability, but that doesn't necessarily mean you can command respect."

He chuckled softly, "Can you control it?"

"There's not much of a problem right now. The Hayate Clan has been brought under control with Tsunade's help, and most of the other clans agree..."

Kyohiko smiled and began to explain the current situation.

Orochimaru listened quietly.

After listening, he nodded slightly, his eyes filled with excitement. "Come on, take me to the Anbu, let's talk about some follow-up research!"
