Samodo asked, "Oh, is Samui not back yet?"
Yasugawa Sachiya shook his head and said, "She took Atsui out. I guess it will take a while."
"Alright, tell her not to be so late next time." Samodo frowned slightly.
There's only half an hour left before closing time.
He guessed that Samui was trying to let Atsui adapt to life in Konoha.
....
Not long after Yasugawa Sachiya went out, Kiyoshi could feel the prying gaze gradually weakening.
He doesn't like being spied on.
Last time no one was spying because Samui was there, but this time Samui isn't here.
"Sorry for the trouble, Kiyoshi."
Natsu sat down. Her slender fingers gently lifted her drooping dark green short hair, patiently waiting for the fresh squid sushi.
Kiyoshi also sat down. He raised his eyes and stared at this minor character who had only appeared briefly in the original story.
"Natsu, I heard that the Hyuga clan has a main family and a branch family system, is that right?" Kiyoshi brought up this matter.
The Hyuga clan is divided into a main family and a branch family.
People from the main family do not need to have the Caged Bird Cursed Seal planted, while people from the branch family must have the Caged Bird Cursed Seal planted.
Once this cursed seal is planted, the lives and deaths of all members of the branch family are at the mercy of the main family, who can trigger the cursed seal at will to kill members of the branch family.
It can be said that as long as you are born into the branch family of the Hyuga clan, then your life is basically over.
Hearing Kiyoshi's question, Natsu was slightly startled, and then nodded.
"Yes."
Her voice was so calm that it was almost without fluctuation.
Under the swaying of her dark green short hair, her forehead tied with a ribbon was exposed.
This matter was not a secret. Many people in the village knew about it.
But so what if they know?
No one can change it.
Thinking of this, Natsu only hoped that the squid sushi could be made faster.
Later, she would go buy other desserts.
If she goes back earlier, maybe she won't be scolded.
"I see."
Kiyoshi nodded.
The entire Naruto world seems to have going against fate as its main theme, but its core is actually "fate".
Such an irony.
The son of a hero is still a hero, and the son of a savior is still a savior, so the son of a scapegoat is still... a scapegoat.
Naruto often talks about hard work and sticking to his ninja way, not believing in fate.
But Naruto is actually one of the biggest beneficiaries of fates, and he has never realized this.
Even when Naruto took office and became the Seventh Hokage, the Hyuga clan's caged bird system still existed.
Kiyoshi asked, "Then, Natsu, can you spar with me in taijutsu?"
"...Me?"
Natsu was stunned for a moment.
She remembered that Kiyoshi's grades in the class were quite good. He had been at the top of the class.
He was much more talented than her. So, why would he want to spar with her?
"I've always been curious about Gentle Fist. It should be fine to spar a little, right?"
Kiyoshi smiled.
The real reason, of course, is to see if he can get a Trait.
Besides, Natsu's strength can only be said to be quite average. So, just testing his guess won't cause any big problems.
Kiyoshi is not familiar with other members of the Hyuga clan.
Besides, it's almost the end of the term, and there's no time to see if he can be matched against someone from the Hyuga clan in the next sparring session.
He will apply for early graduation next month.
Staying in ninja school will not bring about any growth, and all the E-rank ninjutsu that can be taught have already been taught.
Kiyoshi doesn't need to stay at ninja school any longer. He can get more ninjutsu by performing missions.
"This... okay, but it's a bit crowded here. Let's go outside later." Natsu said.
If Kiyoshi wasn't a regular customer, she wouldn't be able to buy squid sushi today. It would be too much to leave without repaying him.
Hearing Natsu's reply, Kiyoshi waited patiently.
About ten minutes later
Sachiya brought a gift box, which contained the squid sushi.
Then, Kiyoshi and Natsu went out to find an open space.
Perhaps because she had to go back later, Natsu walked very fast.
The evening air was cold and biting. Kiyoshi and Natsu stood in the center of an open space.
"Then... I'm going to start."
Natsu wanted to quickly end this battle.
Kiyoshi nodded.
The next moment.
Blue veins appeared on the corners of Natsu's eyes, and her chakra condensed into the meridian system in her eyes.
"So much chakra, and..."
The clairvoyance of the Byakugan allowed Natsu to clearly see the meridian system in Kiyoshi's body and the electric current that radiated slightly under the surface of his body.
Natsu's pure white eyes stared at Kiyoshi, his internal organs becoming visible.
"He can actually circulate lightning under his skin and use it to train his body?"
Natsu exclaimed inwardly.
She instantly realized that this must be a special ninjutsu.
Kiyoshi's control over lightning chakra is so good.
She has never seen anyone like Kiyoshi who trains his body in ninja school.
After all, lightning is a very dangerous thing.
If you are not careful, it will burn the skin, or even the meridian system that carries the chakra channel.
Speaking of physical body, Natsu thought of a taijutsu freak, Might Guy.
Even Guy, who loves taijutsu so much, uses very traditional methods.
Kiyoshi had reshaped Natsu's view.
Usually, the Hyuga clan rarely actuvatedi the Byakugan to spy on others, because this is a very impolite behavior and can be regarded as provocation.
If she wasn't sparring with Kiyoshi, Natsu probably wouldn't have known about this.
"Don't be distracted during battle."
Kiyoshi covered his feet with Chakra and suddenly rushed over.
Natsu quickly got into the stance of Gentle Fist to dismantle Kiyoshi's offensive.
The most common technique that all members of the Hyuga clan use is Gentle Fist.
Most Hyugas rarely use other ninjutsu and genjutsu. Even their use of ninja tools is lesser than their peers.
Therefore, they start systematic training of Gentle Fist very early on in their life.
Bang!
Natsu blocked Kiyoshi's straight punch with her arm.
Before she could catch her breath, Kiyoshi backhanded an elbow.
Natsu immediately pulled away. Chakra gushed out from the chakra points at her fingertips, forming a small circle of chakra lines.
While she constantly waved her hands, it looked like a semi-transparent film was taking shape.
Kiyoshi narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the opponent who was going all out in front of him.
He was feeling a little relaxed. Natsu can basically only defend passively.
The Gentle Fist she uses is only the most basic Gentle Fist.
If she could use Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms or Eight Trigrams Palm: Rotation, Kiyoshi would have a hard time dealing with it.
Unfortunately, Natsu is from the branch family.
Her talent is mediocre, and even if her talent was good, she wouldn't be able to learn those more advanced Gentle Fist techniques.
Only a few Hyugas belonging to the branch family know these secret techniques.
Some geniuses learn it by seeing Hyugas from the main family in action.
In fact, most Hyugas never learn these secret techniques in their whole life.
