Support

"Alright! I'll listen to you!"

Doichi Hyuga smugly agreed in a loud voice.

Tsunade burrowed into Doichi Hyuga's arms and tightly grasped his hands to keep them from causing any more trouble.

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

"Tsunade! Time's up!"

Teacher Dao Yi's passion for instruction was growing stronger and stronger as he continued studying biological knowledge with Tsunade.

In the end, Tsunade still failed to escape her fate of passing out, entering dreamland with a sweet smile on her face.

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

A few days later.

Konoha! Hokage's Office.

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

Hiruzen Sarutobi wore a worried expression as he handed a mission scroll to Doichi Hyuga.

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

"Alright! Lord Hokage, 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 activated 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, barely alive as he rested.

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

"Did you see that, Sakura? I finally learned how to walk on water!"

"Dead last."

Sasuke Uchiha sneered disdainfully.

"Idiot Naruto! You still 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 intervention, the Twelve Rookies had mastered tree climbing and water walking before graduation. However, Naruto Uzumaki 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 Dao Yi! Hahaha! Big Brother Dao Yi, 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 stopped directly by Sasuke Uchiha.

"Not bad! You still have basic vigilance. Naruto fails. Qing Tianzhu gets eighty points! Sakura failed to stop him in time, but she also didn't recklessly approach, so she gets sixty points."

Doichi Hyuga commented with a smile.

"Doichi Hyuga! How many times do I have to tell you? Don't call me Qing Tianzhu!"

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

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

Doichi Hyuga said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes! Big Brother Dao Yi is the best! Teach me quickly!"

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

"Tutoring teacher?"

Sakura and Sasuke exchanged a glance, both finding it rather unbelievable.

Leading Naruto to the other side of the river, Doichi Hyuga asked a question:

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

"Huh? What's that? Big Brother Dao Yi, I'm not really sure!"

Naruto Uzumaki scratched his spiky hair and laughed heartily.

"I shouldn't have asked you! Looks like the basics you learned at the Ninja Academy were 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 a hand-signless ninjutsu created by the Fourth Hokage, and it's A-Rank! It's an advanced application of chakra shape transformation, and its destructive power is quite impressive!"

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

With a thunderous boom, the tree snapped and fell from the point of impact. A circular hollow in the trunk was split in two by the broken tree.

"Wow! Big Brother Dao Yi is amazing!"

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

Sasuke Uchiha silently clenched his fists when he saw this.

"Amazing! Big Brother Dao Yi, I want to learn! I want to learn!"

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

"Alright! I don't mind teaching you, but impatient people can't learn it!"

Doichi Hyuga looked at Naruto with a smile, deciding to provoke him first.

"Big Brother Dao Yi! I'm the most patient person there is! You have to believe me! Please, I'll work hard even if it costs me my life!"

Naruto Uzumaki's face flushed red 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? What's this?"

Naruto instinctively took it, scratching his head as he asked with a puzzled expression.

"Fill it with water! About ten centimeters in size will do!"

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

Naruto Uzumaki bent down and filled it with water, then held the water balloon and asked.

"I'll demonstrate first! Channel chakra into the water balloon and keep it spinning at high speed in an irregular pattern. Once you burst the balloon, you'll have completed the first stage of this technique!"

Doichi Hyuga took back the balloon, continuously pouring chakra into it. The liquid inside began spinning at high speed in an irregular pattern. As the balloon constantly distorted, it burst apart with a pop, scattering water everywhere.

To let Naruto see clearly, Doichi Hyuga deliberately slowed down the process.

"You understand now, right? Go 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 across the river, where Sakura Haruno stopped him.

"Big Brother Dao Yi!..."

Sakura looked at Doichi Hyuga pitifully, her eyes filled with 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 divide their attention to protect her. She felt utterly useless, guilty, and inferior.

"Mm! As for you, Sakura, chakra control is your strength. Your chakra reserves are also decent, even greater than Qing Tianzhu's! I suggest that you learn medical ninjutsu to provide the team with sustained combat capability!"

Doichi Hyuga suggested.

Her chakra reserves exceeded those of ordinary ninja clan shinobi, so it was basically certain that she possessed a Yang Release attribute!

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

Tears began to well up in Sakura Haruno's eyes. She had finally seen hope of being able to help her teammates!

Doichi Hyuga explained an entry-level medical ninjutsu to Sakura: the Healing Technique!

After working at it for more than ten minutes, green light 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 was a little mischievous, but it would do for now! The meaning was close enough anyway, Doichi Hyuga thought.

Sasuke's pupils contracted. He had never seen such a strange hand-signless ninjutsu, and he could not help but begin pondering its principles.
