Konoha: Tenseigan at the Start, Taking Over Team 7

Cangyue was certainly very willful, but as a teammate, he was extremely reliable.

That was probably why Kakashi had asked Cangyue to take over Team 7.

Hyuga Cangyue chuckled softly. "That's right. I'm pretty strong."

After those Root members had died, that old dog Danzo would surely fly into a rage, but he had no way to openly cause trouble for Cangyue.

After all, sending ANBU to monitor Naruto Uzumaki, a Genin who had done absolutely nothing wrong, had already violated the village's rules.

Of course, Cangyue didn't mind if Danzo caused trouble openly. It might even make things more interesting.

Though Hyuga Cangyue appeared indifferent, he actually considered many things in his heart.

"The brats from Team 7 seem to be about to make a move." Kurenai Yuhi glanced at the distant forest. The members of Team 7 seemed to have already discussed how to attack Cangyue.

Kurenai Yuhi smiled gracefully. "Team 8 is going to eat grilled meat later, so I'll head back first."

Hyuga Cangyue said, "Remember to pack me a portion. I only want the finest meat. You're paying, of course."

Kurenai Yuhi said speechlessly, "Look at that lofty attitude. Is this how you ask someone to treat you? Besides, I haven't done a mission in ages. Where would I get the money to buy you premium meat?"

She had treated Cangyue to grilled meat before. He had eaten up all the money she had saved from working missions for two months in a single meal.

Cangyue was exceptionally picky. If he was going to eat meat, he would only eat the finest. Who could afford to treat him?

Hyuga Cangyue teased, "Then work hard and save up. Treat me to premium meat a few more times, and I might become a little interested in you."

Kurenai Yuhi rolled her eyes at Cangyue and snapped coquettishly, "Who wants that lecher like you to become interested in her?"

"I almost forgot. Take this amulet with you. When you and Hinata run into danger, just cry out my name. Then the hero will appear." Hyuga Cangyue took out an amulet and tossed it to Kurenai Yuhi beside him.

Kurenai Yuhi casually put away the amulet and said irritably, "Who wants you to save me!"

Kurenai Yuhi turned and left, the corners of her lips curling up slightly as she muttered,

"Lecher."

"You brats, are you done planning yet? Your teacher is about to fall asleep waiting." Hyuga Cangyue stretched his muscles and stared boredly at the distant forest.

Just as Hyuga Cangyue yawned, a figure appeared behind him without making a sound.

"Zi, Wei, Shen, Hai, Wu, Yin." Behind Cangyue, Sasuke Uchiha formed hand seals rapidly without the slightest hesitation.

"Great Fireball again? You're too slow at releasing techniques. While you're slowly forming your hand seals, I could defeat you countless times." Hyuga Cangyue kept his hands in his pockets. Without turning around, he could still see Sasuke through the power of the Tenseigan.

He recognized at a glance that the hand seals Sasuke had formed were for the C-Rank Fire Release Great Fireball, which was practically standard Fire Release for the Uchiha Clan.

Sasuke's hand-seal speed was fast, but it was still too slow in Cangyue's eyes. In fact, any ability that required hand seals to activate was completely meaningless to him.

True experts only needed to clap their hands to get whatever they wanted!

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" Sasuke Uchiha was not affected by Cangyue's words. Instead, he spat out a stream of high-temperature flames. After flying out, the flames formed a fireball that crashed toward Cangyue like a meteor.

"Naruto, if you take any longer, I'll have to defend against the Great Fireball." Hyuga Cangyue ignored the Great Fireball and casually glanced at the ground beneath his feet.

He could roughly guess Team 7's plan.

A moment later.

The earth shifted and cracks appeared. Several of Naruto's Shadow Clones then crawled out of the ground and grabbed all four of Cangyue's limbs, hanging from him like koalas.

Hyuga Cangyue said indifferently, "A little cleverness is meaningless."

The moment he discovered Naruto underground, he had already deduced Team 7's entire plan.

"Rumble--!" The high-temperature fireball, resembling a meteor, completely swallowed Hyuga Cangyue. Naruto's Shadow Clones were burned into clouds of white smoke.

Sasuke Uchiha breathed heavily. Overusing his Chakra had left him exhausted, but he still sneered. "Hmph, so what if I'm slow? As long as I hit you!"

"Did... did it work?"

In hiding, Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno stared nervously at the spot where the flames were burning.

The entire field's view was blocked by black smoke, making it impossible to see what was happening inside the flames.

The black smoke billowed violently as the flames gradually faded.

Everyone could vaguely see a figure standing within the smoke.

Hyuga Cangyue fanned away the black smoke with his hand and coughed several times in disgust. "Cough, cough, cough. I'm choking to death."

"I hit you. Now what?" Hyuga Cangyue patted the dust from his clothes and calmly looked toward Sasuke Uchiha in the distance.

"How... how is this possible? He's completely unharmed!" Sasuke Uchiha's expression turned ugly as he stared at Cangyue with his One-Tomoe Sharingan.

He had indeed seen Cangyue-sensei standing completely defenseless just now, with no intention of counterattacking at all. He had taken the Great Fireball head-on.

And yet he was completely unharmed!

Unbelievable!

Absurd!

Was this the strength of a Jonin?

"Don't get cocky. It's not over yet!" Sasuke Uchiha yanked hard with his hand. A sharp Steel Wire emerged from the earth, its other end wrapping around Hyuga Cangyue's legs like a python.

"Got you!" Sasuke Uchiha wore a cold smile, with a trace of confidence on his face.

"The little trap you set while releasing the Great Fireball?" Hyuga Cangyue deliberately put on a surprised expression. In truth, he had discovered the two strands of Steel Wire long ago.

He had deliberately fallen for Sasuke's childish trap.

After all, he had to hold back a little.

"Attack!" Sasuke Uchiha gripped the Steel Wire tightly, but no matter how hard he pulled, he could not move Cangyue even one step.

A dozen of Naruto Uzumaki's Shadow Clones quickly ran out of the forest. All the Shadow Clones charged at Hyuga Cangyue in a group, surrounding him from every direction.

"Let's attack together!"

"I've endured this for so long. Now I can finally teach Cangyue-sensei a good lesson!"

"Damn Sasuke only knows how to show off. It's finally my turn to teach Cangyue-sensei a lesson!"

"Yeah--!"

A dozen of Naruto's Shadow Clones drew their Kunai at the same time and attacked Cangyue with all their strength.

"Repulsion... Well, using the same technique all the time is a little lacking in spectacle." Hyuga Cangyue slowly raised one finger. Just as he was about to use Shinra Tensei to blast away the Shadow Clones, he felt that repeating the same technique was boring and decided to play around with something more interesting.

"Eight Trigrams Palm--Rotation." Chakra erupted from Hyuga Cangyue's entire body. He spun rapidly in place, and pale-blue Chakra formed a high-speed rotating vortex wall.

"Boom--!" All the Naruto Shadow Clones that had rushed forward were blasted away by the rapidly rotating Chakra.

After all the Shadow Clones landed, they turned into white smoke and dispersed. Naruto's true body, gravely injured, staggered up from the ground.

Hyuga Cangyue stroked his chin and calmly watched Naruto in the distance. The corners of his lips lifted slightly in mockery. "You're... really weak."

Feeling Hyuga Cangyue's ridicule, Naruto Uzumaki was so furious that he nearly bristled. He pointed angrily at Cangyue and shouted, "Damn you! Just wait! I'll definitely become Hokage one day, then I'll beat that smug face of yours until you cry!"

Hyuga Cangyue casually replied, "Is that so? I'll look forward to it."

"Arghhh--dammit!" Naruto Uzumaki gnashed his teeth in rage. The more indifferent Cangyue acted, the angrier he became.

"I never expected this idiot to succeed." Sasuke Uchiha glanced at Naruto, cursed under his breath, and threw a sharp Kunai.

"Whoosh." The Kunai flew extremely fast, flashing past like lightning as it slashed toward Hyuga Cangyue's face.

"Transformation?" Hyuga Cangyue tilted his head slightly. The Kunai flew past his cheek. He could tell that there was something strange about it. It was probably Sakura Haruno transformed into a Kunai.

"Bang." After the sharp Kunai landed, it turned into a cloud of pale smoke. Sakura Haruno leaped out of the smoke, gripping a Kunai as she slashed at Hyuga Cangyue's neck.

The two were very close. Everyone believed that Hyuga Cangyue had no way to dodge the attack unless he retreated several steps.

"Sorry, Cangyue-sensei, but we won this test!" Sakura Haruno attacked Cangyue's neck with all her strength, brimming with confidence.

"So it really was Transformation." Hyuga Cangyue grabbed Sakura Haruno's wrist and slammed her hard against the ground.

"Hmph--" Sakura Haruno let out a soft nasal groan from the pain when she hit the ground. Her confident smile vanished, replaced by disbelief.

"What incredible speed!"

"Confidence is a good thing, but blind confidence is foolish. Mischievous children need to be taught a lesson, and mischievous Female Ninjas need even more discipline." Hyuga Cangyue raised his hand and struck Sakura Haruno hard.

"Naruto!" Sakura Haruno closed her eyes in fear.

"Smack--" The crisp sound rang across the entire field, and all of Team 7 froze.

"Mm--!" Sakura Haruno let out a delicate groan. Feeling the scorching pain in her buttocks, she sucked in a breath as tears welled in the corners of her eyes.

She had thought Cangyue would punch her hard, but she had never imagined that he would spank her!

Hyuga Cangyue felt the sensation against his five fingers and pondered for a moment before saying, "Hmm... barely acceptable. The feel isn't that bad."

Sakura Haruno struggled violently, her eyes filled with shame and fury. Her face flushed as she cursed through sobs, "Bastard, pervert, lecher! Let go of me!"

That lecher Cangyue-sensei had actually started evaluating the feel afterward?

"Still talking back?" Hyuga Cangyue raised his hand and brought it down hard.

"Smack--" The crisp sound rang across the entire field again.

"S-Sakura-chan..." Naruto Uzumaki stared at the scene in a daze, his face full of disbelief.

Sakura Haruno, who had a fiery temper and a forceful personality, had actually been pinned to the ground and spanked by Cangyue-sensei?

Good heavens!

How enviable!

"Gasp--that hurts." Sakura Haruno sucked in a sharp breath. Her face flushed with shame and anger as she cursed, "Perverted teacher, let go of me!"

She was at least a Female Ninja capable of standing on her own, yet someone had pinned her to the ground and spanked her, and it had happened right in front of Sasuke.

It was simply... too humiliating!

How could she face Sasuke in the future?

"You still dare to curse?" Hyuga Cangyue raised his hand again and continued spanking Sakura Haruno.

"Smack--smack--smack." One crisp sound after another echoed throughout the entire Training Ground Seven.

"Waaah..." Sakura Haruno was spanked until she cried.

Hyuga Cangyue asked, "Do you admit you were wrong?"

"I... I was wrong." Sakura Haruno raised her face, reddened by shame and anger, and looked at Cangyue with tear-filled eyes.

She did not even understand what she had done wrong.

It was clearly just that lecher Cangyue-sensei wanted to bully her a little, wasn't it?

Hyuga Cangyue released Sakura Haruno and nodded in satisfaction. "A good student knows how to correct her mistakes."

Sakura Haruno covered her painfully throbbing buttocks and staggered into the distance. Then she glared at Cangyue in shame and anger, muttering curses under her breath. "Damn pervert, stinking lecher..."

What teacher spanked his students?

He was simply a complete pervert!

Naruto Uzumaki asked cautiously, "S-Sakura-chan, are you all right?"

Sakura Haruno did not answer. Instead, she punched Naruto several times, as though she intended to vent all her humiliation on him.

"Bang, bang, bang."

Naruto Uzumaki was knocked to the ground by several punches. Covering the bumps all over his head, he said aggrievedly, "Why am I the only one getting beaten up?!"

Hyuga Cangyue looked at Sasuke in the distance and said calmly, "So, this was your plan? A plan below second-rate is completely meaningless. There's nothing in your head, is there?"

"..." Sasuke Uchiha clenched his fists and stared at Cangyue with his One-Tomoe Sharingan, his heart filled with unwillingness.

"If there's an enemy in front of you whom you cannot defeat, what should you do?" The moment Hyuga Cangyue finished speaking, a massive amount of Chakra erupted from him, and the ground trembled violently as cracks spread across it.

The powerful Chakra formed a current of air that lifted all the earth around Cangyue. Within that enormous Chakra was also a murderous intent powerful enough to chill one's spine.

The sky darkened, and dark clouds spread across the horizon.

The Chakra that Cangyue unleashed even alarmed the entire Konoha.

"What... what terrifying Chakra!"
