Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird

Chapter 47 Xun, I need your help!
Early the next morning, Hyuga Yuzuru found Hinata Kaoru.

Even though he went out at six in the morning, when he found this guy, he saw that she had trained herself until she was dripping with sweat.

Having obtained permission to practice at the Hizashi family's training ground, she doesn't need to worry about other people's feelings. She can practice freely at any time as long as she wants.

When she saw Hinata Yuzuru, she subconsciously stopped her training, and carefully and quickly tidied up her sweaty hair, then she smiled gently and bowed: "Master Yuzuru, welcome home."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Hinata Yuzuru's hands were itchy for a moment. To be precise, as soon as he arrived at the training ground, his body seemed to be activated and he subconsciously wanted to start exercising.

But he had to set off for the front line in the afternoon, so he didn't dare to exhaust his physical strength and chakra in the morning and then recover on the way.

However, practicing a little sparring is not a problem.

"Come, let me see your progress."

Hinata Yuzuru smiled and held out his hand.

Hinata Xun hesitated for a moment, but still nodded seriously. She smiled and said, "Yes, Master Yuzuru."

She took a deep breath to calm her breathing, and got into a stance. She was now wearing a tight black training suit, which made her look less feminine and more fierce than when she had worn the skirt before.

"Come on." Hinata Yuzuru just calmly asked her to take action.

There was no need to say much about the battle that followed. I just fought with her patiently for more than a minute, and after seeing her progress, the battle ended.

Hinata Yuzuru just threw a soft punch, paralyzing her meridians and causing her chakra to stagnate for a moment, and then stopped there.

"I'm sorry I disappoint you." Hinata Xun pursed her lips, with a bit of loss in her eyes.

She originally thought that her progress in recent days had been fast enough, but when facing Hinata Yuzuru, she still felt a much more exaggerated gap than when facing Hinata Hizashi.

The moves and abilities used by Hyuga Hizashi are, to put it bluntly, standardized Hyuga taijutsu, but Hyuga Yuzuru has already transcended the framework and become his own school. They may be similar to each other in terms of strength, but their realms are simply different.

In other words, Hyuga Hizashi is now only stronger than Hyuga Yuzuru in terms of physical fitness and chakra volume brought by age, and practical experience.

It sounds ridiculous, but it's true.

Moreover, Hyuga Yuzuru has a special attack bonus against the Hyuga clan.

After the skill level was raised, the same moves were all flawed in front of him, which is why he didn't know sixty-four palms at the time, so he could rely on his understanding and defense of acupuncture points to defeat Hinata Shinone's gossip at that time. The reason why Sixty-Four Palms hasn’t been beaten down yet.

Can I really catch up with Master Yuzuru?

Just the thought of being pushed further and further away from the other party, and even being unable to see the other party's back clearly, made Hinata Kaoru feel a sense of fear and uneasiness in his heart. He couldn't tell whether it was a sense of crisis or despair in his restless heart.

She is a person who is very good at thinking and can see herself clearly. Because of this, she is much more mature than her peers. This is also why she felt tired and desperate about her life so early on, until she saw Hinata Yuzuru, and then she felt like she saw a fellow human being and regained hope.

But now it seemed that Hinata Yuzuru was so good that she was a little confused.

"No, if your goal is to be on par with me, or even to surpass me in strength," Hinata Yuzuru replied coldly, "I don't think you can do that."

"In fact, if the gap in strength between us doesn't widen, and you keep catching up with me, I should reflect on myself and see if there is something wrong."

His words made Hinata Xun fall into silence. She bit her lips tightly and stared at the boy in front of her with a little uneasiness in her eyes.

Hinata Yuzuru gently pushed up his glasses, then reached out his hand, gently lifted the ends of her hair, and combed her long hair which was a little messy due to the battle. Even though he was younger than her, there was no sense of incongruity in his action.

"But, isn't your goal just to stay by my side?"

His words left Hinata Kaoru speechless, and then he whispered, "Or is it that my understanding was wrong?" "No!" How could Hinata Kaoru deny this? She just lowered her head, her eyes slightly red, feeling the palm that was emitting heat covering her long hair.

Hinata Xun hesitated, her voice trembling slightly: "But, if I just follow you but am useless, one day, you will throw me away!"

"I don't want to be useless."

She raised her head, holding back tears: "Master Yuzuru, I want to help you, even if, even if I am just a cannon fodder, I..."

Hinata Yuzuru put his hand on her forehead, and with his fingers he pushed gently: "Idiot, I don't need cannon fodder."

"Don't scare yourself all the time. I never said that I don't need your help."

"I just want you to change your approach."

Hinata Yuzuru took back her hand and smiled slightly under her thoughtful eyes: "Go and study."

"The idea and concept of ninjutsu."

"The composition and structure of chakra."

"How Ninjutsu was created from nothing."

"How did the so-called forbidden technique come about?"

"Chakra's attribute changes and combinations."

"The Structure and Modification of the Human Body."

The more he spoke, the brighter Hinata Xun's eyes became, as if he had pushed open a big door with his own hands, and she saw a boundless light in an instant.

"Besides that, I will pass on to you all my understanding of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and curse seals."

"With the knowledge I have, use your wisdom and efforts to open up a new world for me that I can't distract myself from for the time being."

"Xun, I need your help."

He smiled softly, and his last words came from his heart.

Hinata Kaoru stared blankly at the young man in front of him. The uneasiness and fear in his heart seemed to be calmed by his gentle smile and trusting eyes.

She first pursed her lips, then raised the corners of her mouth, and finally, turned it into a brilliant smile, just like when she excitedly slid down the lawn when they first met, with the youthfulness and cuteness unique to a young girl.

"I know! Master Yuzuru!"

The voice of joy and the smile of happiness that could not be concealed.

If it weren't for Hinata Yuzuru in front of him, to Hinata Kaoru, he would be as noble and untouchable as the bright moon.

She was probably unable to restrain herself, so she rushed forward and hugged him tightly.

He just said
Need my help.

He needs me He needs me!

Her eyes emanated a bright light that made Hinata Yuzuru not know what to do. In the end, he could only smile gently, bent his fingers, and tapped lightly on her forehead.

"Come on, Xun."
