Support

"Alright! I'll listen to you!"

Doichi Hyuga replied loudly, feeling quite pleased with himself.

Tsunade burrowed into Doichi Hyuga's arms and tightly grabbed his hands to stop them from continuing to misbehave.

The two of them chatted about this and that for half an hour.

"Tsunade! Time's up!"

Doichi's urge to teach only grew stronger as he continued studying biological knowledge with Tsunade.

In the end, Tsunade still could not escape the fate of passing out. With a sweet smile on her face, she drifted into dreamland.

Holding her from behind in his arms, Doichi Hyuga closed his eyes and began to rest.

A few days later.

Konoha! Hokage's Office.

"Doichi! Team 7 has run into trouble. I'd like you to go support them. You must ensure the children's safety."

With a worried expression, Hiruzen Sarutobi handed Doichi Hyuga a mission scroll.

When he opened the scroll, he found that it was the Land of Waves mission.

"Alright! Lord Hokage, please rest assured. I'll bring them back safely!"

Doichi Hyuga said solemnly.

"Mm! Then I'll leave it to you!"

After leaving Konoha, Doichi Hyuga opened his Tenseigan.

Yomotsu Hirasaka!

A black hole opened, and Doichi Hyuga walked into it.

When he emerged again, he had already arrived within the Land of Waves.

An hour later, Doichi Hyuga found Kakashi's team.

Kakashi was lying on a bed, resting in a half-dead state.

Sasuke and Sakura were training, while Naruto stood on the water, laughing triumphantly.

"See that, Sakura-chan? I finally learned how to walk on water!"

"Dead last!"

Sasuke sneered disdainfully.

"You idiot, Naruto! You have the nerve to say that? You've been learning it for two years already!"

Sakura Haruno flew into a rage.

Because of Doichi Hyuga's involvement, the Konoha Twelve had mastered tree climbing and water walking before graduation. Naruto Uzumaki, however, was the sole exception.

"You three are all here?"

Doichi Hyuga appeared and walked toward the three members of Team 7.

"Huh? It's Big Brother Doichi! Hahaha! Big Brother Doichi, why are you here?"

"Naruto! Don't act on your own. You need to confirm the other party's identity first!"

Naruto Uzumaki ran up the riverbank, only to be directly stopped by Sasuke Uchiha.

"Not bad! You've got some basic vigilance, at least. Naruto fails. Sunny Sasuke gets eighty points! Sakura failed to stop him in time, but she also didn't rashly approach, so she gets sixty."

Doichi Hyuga commented with a smile.

"Doichi Hyuga! How many times have I told you? Don't call me Sunny Sasuke!"

Upon hearing that awful nickname, Sasuke's tense body relaxed. Although this guy was annoying, he had at least confirmed his identity.

"Since Naruto has mastered water walking, how about I, as your tutoring teacher, teach you a ninjutsu as a reward?"

Doichi Hyuga asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes! Big Brother Doichi is the best! Teach me already!"

Naruto Uzumaki instantly perked up, brimming with fighting spirit as though he had been injected with stimulants.

"A tutoring teacher?"

Sakura and Sasuke exchanged glances, both finding it a little unbelievable.

After bringing Naruto to the opposite riverbank, Doichi Hyuga asked him a question.

"Naruto! Do you know about chakra shape transformation?"

"Huh? What's that? Big Brother Doichi, I don't really know!"

Naruto Uzumaki scratched his spiky hair and laughed awkwardly.

"I shouldn't have even asked you! Looks like your foundation at the Ninja Academy was terrible! Forget it. Pretend I never said anything."

Doichi Hyuga spread open his right hand, and a spherical ball of chakra rapidly took shape.

"This technique is called the Rasengan. It's an A-rank ninjutsu created by the Fourth Hokage, a hand-signless technique! It's an advanced application of chakra shape transformation, and its destructive power is quite impressive as well!"

Holding the Rasengan, Doichi Hyuga pressed it against a large tree beside him.

With a thunderous boom, the tree snapped from the point of impact and crashed down. A round hollow in its trunk was split into two by the break.

"Wow! Big Brother Doichi is amazing!"

Hearing the commotion, Sakura Haruno turned her head from across the river and exclaimed in amazement.

Seeing this, Sasuke Uchiha secretly clenched his fists.

"Amazing! Big Brother Doichi, I want to learn it! I want to learn it!"

Naruto leaped three feet into the air, his excited eyes wide as bells.

"Alright! Teaching you isn't a problem, but someone without patience won't be able to learn it!"

Doichi Hyuga smiled at Naruto, deciding to provoke him first.

"Big Brother Doichi! I'm the most patient person there is! You have to believe me! Please, I'll work hard enough to risk my life!"

Naruto Uzumaki's face reddened with anxiety as he hurriedly bowed and made his promise.

"Alright! Since you say so, I'll believe you this once."

Doichi Hyuga took out one of Qianyue's toy balloons and handed it to Naruto.

"Huh? This is?"

Naruto instinctively took it, scratching his head as he asked in confusion.

"Fill it with water! About ten centimeters across is enough!"

"Oh!... What do I do next, Big Brother Doichi?"

Naruto Uzumaki bent over to fill it with water, then held the water balloon and asked.

"I'll demonstrate first! Feed chakra into the water balloon and maintain a high-speed, irregular rotation. Once you burst the balloon, you'll have completed the first stage of this technique!"

Doichi Hyuga took the balloon back as chakra continuously flowed into it. The liquid inside began spinning at high speed in an irregular pattern. As the balloon kept deforming, it burst with a pop, breaking into several pieces as water splashed everywhere.

To make sure Naruto could see clearly, Doichi Hyuga deliberately slowed the process down.

"You understood that, right? Practice it slowly on your own!"

Doichi Hyuga gave him several more balloons and sent him off to play by himself.

Doichi Hyuga walked back to the opposite bank, where Sakura Haruno stopped him.

"Big Brother Doichi!..."

Sakura looked at Doichi Hyuga pitifully, her eyes full of pleading.

Ever since Team 7 had been formed, she had always been the one holding everyone back. Not only could she not help with anything, but she also made her teacher and teammates distract themselves to protect her. She felt utterly useless, guilty, and inferior.

"Mm! As for you, Sakura, chakra control is your strength. Your chakra reserves are pretty good too, even a little higher than Sunny Sasuke's! I suggest you study medical ninjutsu and provide the team with sustained combat capability!"

Doichi Hyuga suggested.

Her chakra reserves exceeded those of ordinary ninja clan shinobi. That basically confirmed she had a Yang Release attribute!

"Alright! I'll listen to you, Big Brother Doichi! You're a famous medical ninja in Konoha. Please teach me!"

Tears began to well up in Sakura Haruno's eyes. At last, she saw hope that she could provide some help to her teammates!

Doichi Hyuga explained the entry-level medical ninjutsu technique, the Healing Technique, to Sakura.

After more than ten minutes of effort, a green glow gradually emerged from Sakura Haruno's hands.

Dragon-Capturing Hand!

Doichi Hyuga activated the Tenseigan's pulling force and grabbed a lively fish from the river.

The name is a bit tasteless, but it'll do for now! The meaning is close enough, Doichi Hyuga thought.

Sasuke's pupils contracted. He had never seen such a strange hand-signless ninjutsu and could not help pondering the technique's principles.
