Night Raid

Actually, the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan also had a similar problem.

In Yecheng's view, the Hyuga clan held the Byakugan, a super telescope capable of seeing a dozen kilometers away, yet devoted themselves entirely to close-combat methods like the Gentle Fist, which was truly wasting a natural gift.

If one could develop a jutsu with subtle motion but an extremely long range, coordinated with the super-long observation distance of the Byakugan, it would be possible to execute beyond-visual-range strikes.

On a battlefield where such combat methods were still somewhat primitive in the Shinobi World, the power it could unleash was simply unimaginable.

It truly could be called shooting someone in the head from eight hundred miles away, impossible to guard against.

However, such long-range jutsu were also very difficult to develop.

Yecheng's current idea was best to replicate the advanced experiences of his past life, and figure out a way to make a super-long-range ninja tool to issue to Hinata.

Soon it was time to leave school again.

Yecheng walked out of the Ninja Academy, just preparing to dispel the Shadow Clone Technique, when he saw Hinata following him from behind.

"Hinata, what's wrong? Something the matter?"

Yecheng looked slightly puzzled; judging from Hyuga Kō's attitude yesterday, she shouldn't have any more intersection with him after school.

"Um, well... Father wants me to make friends with Yecheng-kun, so..."

As Hinata spoke, the thought of a date resurfaced in her mind, and her small face instantly turned red.

Yet she still mustered the courage to say, "I want to go eat ramen with Yecheng-kun!"

Her attitude changed this fast?

Yecheng froze slightly, glancing sideways at Hyuga Kō, who was standing not far away and watching quietly.

OMO

Then he reacted.

It was most likely because the news of him becoming Tsunade's apprentice had spread, which was why Hyuga Hiashi's attitude had changed.

Haughty at first and respectful later, so to speak.

The Hyuga clan really was as consistent as ever.

Yecheng did not dwell on this matter, and instead reached out to pat Hinata's head.

"Not today, I'm going to find my teacher to study Medical Ninjutsu."

"...Um, alright."

Hearing this, Hinata's expression visibly grew dejected.

Yecheng smiled slightly and said, "Tomorrow, then. Tomorrow is the weekend, let's go out and play together."

"Mm, okay!"

Hearing this, Hinata cheered up again, a smile emerging on her face.

The two chatted for a few more words, then waved goodbye.

Only after the two parted ways did Hyuga Kō step forward quickly, guarding behind Hinata.

Yecheng chuckled lightly, turned around to find an empty alley, and dispelled the Shadow Clone Technique.

Yecheng's main body at Konoha Hospital received the information transmitted by the shadow clone throughout the day at the very first moment.

His brow twitched, but he quickly absorbed and digested all of it.

In front of him, possessing the Six Eyes, this level of information volume was not a problem at all.

Yet the momentary distraction was still captured by Tsunade.

"What's the matter, brat."

"It's Hinata Hyuga. She invited me to have dinner together."

Yecheng stood up calmly. "Teacher, I'm going to keep the appointment first."

"It's the Hyuga clan brat?"

Tsunade waved her hand. "Combining work and rest is also important, go ahead."

She didn't take this matter to heart.

Because she was astonished to discover that Yecheng had almost finished reading all five books in a single afternoon!

And based on the situation of the first book earlier, Yecheng very likely possessed the ability of photographic memory!

Finishing reading equaled learning!

That meant in a single afternoon, he had learned knowledge that ordinary people required half a year to study!

Was this a human?

Tsunade recalled the painful appearance she had when she studied medical knowledge back then, and the memory was still vivid.

Yecheng's bloodline definitely wasn't ordinary; what on earth was his Kekkei Genkai?

An interesting subject.

The corner of Tsunade's mouth hooked into a curve, and she continued searching for clues in the ancient texts.

Fending off the enthusiastic invitations of the various older sisters, Yecheng walked out of Konoha Hospital.

He found a dark corner and used the Transformation Technique, transforming into the appearance of Megumi Fushiguro from Jujutsu Kaisen.

With his current level of Chakra control, even the Sharingan right in front of him would find it difficult to spot flaws in the Transformation Technique he used!

Yecheng lied.

He wasn't going to learn Medical Ninjutsu, nor was he going to have dinner with Hinata; instead, he was going to eliminate a thorn in his side!

That Anbu from the Root!

From the expressions of Tsunade and Shizune, Yecheng had already learned that Danzo had made concessions and bled heavily, indicating that the tug-of-war between all sides was nearly over.

That Root Anbu was very likely to be released from prison tonight, and this was the only recent opportunity to finish him off!

Relying on shadows, Yecheng quickly sneaked near the Konoha Military Police Force.

The Ten Shadows Technique was a Cursed Technique using shadows as a medium, and its basic effects came with the two major abilities of Shadow Space and Shadow Traversal. One could only say it was truly worthy of being a powerful Cursed Technique passed down for a long time within the Three Great Families, and its mechanics were very strong.

When using these two abilities with the Six Eyes, the Chakra consumption caused was also greatly reduced, almost on par with Yecheng's Chakra recovery speed.

Yecheng hid in the shadows, waiting quietly.

Until late at night, when there were hardly any people on the street, a boyish figure appeared in front of the Military Police Force.

Yecheng looked at that person's figure, feeling quite familiar.

Before he had time to think further, that Root Anbu who had previously threatened Yecheng had already been pushed out by the Uchiha ninja inside.

He stumbled, almost falling directly to the ground.

Fortunately, the newly arrived ninja supported him in time, keeping him from falling face-first.

He looked like he must have been heavily injured; the Uchiha of the Military Police Force had indeed "treated him well."

This was good news for Yecheng, as it was favorable for killing him more easily.

Yecheng did not rush to make a move, instead continuing to lurk in the shadows until the two of them moved far away from human habitation and entered the woods.

This place was not far from the Root's base.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn Uchiha, actually using public office for personal revenge. I will definitely report this to Danzo-sama and severely punish them!"

The Root Anbu gritted his teeth, evidently having suffered quite a bit of hardship in the Konoha Military Police Force.

The other person also replied, "Rest assured, Danzo-sama will definitely avenge you!"

That voice, along with those wire-rimmed glasses, was unexpectedly Kabuto Yakushi!?

Yecheng recognized the ninja who had come to pick him up, but the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be fired.

Avenge?

You won't have that chance!

The moment they relaxed, a sudden change occurred!

A thick, massive serpent measuring over ten meters long abruptly lunged out from the Root Anbu's shadow!

Ten Shadow Shikigami: Great Serpent!

It opened its bloody maw and lunged to bite at Kabuto Yakushi, while its serpentine body tightly coiled, attempting to bind him with this.

Although Kabuto Yakushi at this time did not possess strength comparable to Kakashi Hatake as when he debuted in the original work, he was still a fairly powerful ninja and could not possibly be killed by a move like this.

Yet Yecheng's subsequent words extinguished any thoughts of resistance in him.

"My target is only him!"

"Don't resist, or Yakushi Nonō will definitely die!"

"What?!"

Hearing this, Kabuto Yakushi's heart shook profoundly, and he was greatly alarmed.

Only Danzo knew his origins; how could this attacking enemy in front of him know the relationship between Yakushi Nonō and him?!
