"Teacher Uya!"
Upon seeing Uya, Hinata's little face immediately lit up with joy.
Since she had entered the Ninja Academy and started attending classes, Uya had very little time to teach her, and would only visit the Hyuga Clan occasionally.
Hinata hadn't seen Uya for half a month, but she still came here every day to train for a while before returning to her room; it had become a habit.
"Um."
Uya gently patted Hinata's head, smiled at her, and said, "Let me see how your Gentle Fist training has gone these past two weeks."
Over the course of two years, Uya also granted Hinata the First Stage of the Sage Body.
Although it's only the most basic First Stage, Gentle Fist is a perfect match for the Sage Body. Whether it's the speed, strength, or Chakra enhanced by the Sage Body, Gentle Fist can directly utilize them.
Therefore, although Hinata is only seven years old, she is very strong among children of the same age, in no way inferior to Neji Hyuga, who is known as a genius, and is even slightly stronger.
"Yes, Teacher Uya!"
Hinata leaned against Uya, revealing a cute expression, then took a few steps back and assumed a fighting stance.
Uya smiled, stood up, walked into the courtyard, and said, "Let's begin."
"Teacher Uya, be careful!"
Although she knew she couldn't possibly hurt Uya, Hinata couldn't help but whisper something before rushing towards Uya.
Whoosh! Whoosh!!
Hinata thrust her palm towards Uya's waist, Uya stepped back slightly, easily dodging her attack. Hinata then continued forward, sweeping her palm horizontally, Uya casually flicked her sleeve, and Hinata's small hand landed on the soft sleeve without any effort.
Hinata knew all along that there was a huge gap between her and Uya, and that her attacks had no effect whatsoever. However, she showed no signs of discouragement. She knew that all she needed to do was show her best side.
The next moment, Hinata suddenly assumed a fighting stance, Setsuna, it seemed as if an invisible aura locked onto Uya's body, as if an illusory Bagua formation had landed in the arena.
" Gentle Fist! Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"
Whoosh!
Hinata suddenly attacked, her movements as swift and fierce as a storm, engulfing Uya in her attack.
"Two palm strikes!"
"Four palms!"
"Eight Palms!"
"Sixteen palm strikes!"
Thirty-two palm strikes!
Despite Hinata's relentless barrage of attacks, Uya moved with incredible agility, like a butterfly, deftly dodging all the blows with ease.
However, it was thought that Hinata would be able to deliver all Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms this time, but she only managed to deliver thirty-two blows.
"Failed again..."
Hinata stopped, unable to keep up with Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms strength and Chakra, and looked at Uya with a weak expression on her small face.
Uya smiled and said, "Being able to unleash thirty-two palm strikes is already quite impressive."
If one could fully master the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, even among Chunin, one would not be considered weak. Hinata is only seven years old now, and even if Uya gives her a slight advantage, it would be difficult for her to reach the level of geniuses like Kimimaro and Uchiha Itachi.
After all, Hinata's talent is indeed not strong, but in terms of talent, Hinata is still much stronger than Might Guy and Rock Lee, who have difficulty even refining and using Chakra. So talent is not always the deciding factor.
Hinata stood there, already used to Uya's tolerance, and also showed a cute smile.
After a while, Hinata looked at Uya with a slight hesitation.
"Um, Mr. Uya, are you leaving again?"
"Um?"
Uya glanced at her and smiled, "No, I'm not leaving today."
As she spoke, Uya added in her mind, "I still have to watch a show tonight."
"Huh?! That's great!"
Hinata was stunned for a moment, then her face lit up with joy, clearly not expecting Uya to stay today.
Uya smiled gently and couldn't resist reaching out to pinch her cheek.
"I'll practice a little longer, then I'll go get something to eat."
"Um."
Hinata nodded, a cute blush creeping onto her cheeks.
Konoha.
Uchiha Clan's headquarters.
"Captain, we can't go on like this. We need to make a decision quickly!"
More than ten Uchiha Clan ninjas knelt on one knee, and standing at the very front was the Uchiha Clan patriarch, Uchiha Fugaku.
" Konoha is going too far! They fear that person's name and dare not suppress the Hyuga Clan, so they've started targeting our Uchiha Clan entirely. If this continues, we Uchiha Clan will be squeezed out of Konoha sooner or later!"
"That's right! In that case, why don't we take charge of this village!"
The dozen or so Uchiha Clan ninjas, almost all of them Jonin, chatted amongst themselves.
Standing at the forefront Uchiha Fugaku remained silent, his expression somber, not uttering a single word. Only after all the Uchiha Clan ninjas quieted down did he finally speak slowly.
"That's the most extreme approach; you shouldn't do something like that unless absolutely necessary."
"Captain! This is a last resort!"
The dozen or so ninjas spoke almost in unison.
Seeing this, Uchiha Fugaku frowned, then said in a deep voice, "But, who knows if that person is in Konoha right now..."
That person, naturally, refers to Uya, the God of the Shinobi World.
Upon hearing the mention of Uya, the dozen or so Uchiha Clan ninjas present all froze, exchanging bewildered glances, and an eerie silence fell over the room.
The name Uya is taboo even within the Uchiha Clan; no one dares to mention it directly, and they always refer to it as "that person."
At this point, the Uchiha Clan had long since given up any thought of fighting with Uya. They were already incredibly lucky that Uya didn't bother them. Perhaps in Uya's eyes now, they were nothing more than ants unworthy of his Uya.
After a long silence, someone finally spoke in a deep voice, "Captain, do you think that person has a good relationship with Konoha?"
These words immediately made everyone present's eyes light up.
That's right. Even if Uya were in Konoha, he might at most pay attention to the Hyuga Clan, but Uya probably wouldn't care about Konoha at all.
The relationship between Uya and Konoha, even if it doesn't reach the point of hatred, is definitely not good either.
"However, our Uchiha Clan has an even worse relationship with that person." Uchiha Fugaku still showed a hint of hesitation on his face.
"However, from that person's perspective, they probably wouldn't care about our war with Konoha at all. As long as we don't mess with the Hyuga Clan, there shouldn't be any problems!" (To be continued.)
