Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 55 Hyuga Kumokawa: I am your ancestor
Neji Hyuga is not some kind of idiot who can't distinguish between good and bad.

At this moment, he understood that Hinata Kumokawa wanted to wake him up.

"Brother Yun Chuan, please, tell me."

Hyuga Neji's voice was hoarse, but his tone was calm as he asked, "What should I do?"

Hyuga Kumokawa did not answer his question, but looked up into the distance and slowly said, "When we were handing over the corpses to Kumogakure, we encountered a monster."

"He's really strong, terrifyingly strong,"

"He easily killed Magnet Release Troy and also wiped out nearly a hundred Cloud Village ninjas."

Even with my white eyes, I couldn't see his face; all I could see were those dazzling, brilliant blue eyes...

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Neji froze, the figure from his dream suddenly flashing into his mind, and blurted out, "What did you say?"

Brilliant and dazzling blue eyes?

How could that be? Wasn't that just a dream?

"Take a look at the clan's ancestral hall library when you have time."

Hinata Kumokawa lowered his eyes and gave him a deep look: "I247.5, L632, go and read that book, you will understand a lot of things."

Hyuga Neji lay on the ground, staring blankly at his figure, but when Hyuga Unkawa lowered his eyes and their gazes met, his white eyes seemed to be coated with the color of the heavens.

Hyuga Neji saw the blue rising in those eyes, like the white snow covering a clear lake melting under the sun.

But when he looked closely, he found that the eyes were still a pure white, almost like snow, as if it were all just his illusion.

“Remember this,” Hinata Kumokawa said softly, with a profound meaning, “Those who cannot obey themselves will be ordered by others.”

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from Hyuga Neji's sight, leaving only his words still faintly echoing in his ears.

"..."

Hyuga Neji lay on his back in the snow, stunned, his white, unfocused eyes gradually hardening.

Beneath those calm, glacial white eyes lay a deeper longing and hatred.

“The ancestral hall library?” he murmured.

--------

The Hokage Building is located in a hidden underground space.

Hinata Kumokawa followed the scroll's guidance and soon saw a door at the end of the corridor.

There were no guards outside the door, but he could sense the presence of the seal and barrier. Even if a mosquito flew in, it would instantly trigger an alarm and defensive measures.

It's hard to imagine how Naruto managed to steal the Scroll of Seals under Mizuki's guidance, given the tight seal and barrier.

However, considering that Orochimaru had also broken into this place before, and that Mizuki was a pawn planted by Orochimaru in Konoha, it is not impossible to break through by utilizing the contingency plans left by Orochimaru.

Hinata Kumokawa doesn't need to go through all that trouble.

As he took out the scroll given to him by Hiruzen Sarutobi from his bosom, the feeling of being sealed and suppressed instantly dissipated, and he easily opened the door to the Forbidden Techniques Library with a gentle push.

Click.

Stepping into the silent, forbidden magic vault, dust on the ground was stirred up by the wind, and the candles in the room lit up automatically.

The walls on all sides had no windows, and in front of them stood rows of tall bookshelves.

The neatly arranged, clean scrolls, each marked with its grade and sealed, appeared ancient and somber under the flickering candlelight.

"It seems that the Third Hokage, who is known as the 'Professor of Ninjutsu,' often comes here to browse." Noticing that the bookshelves and scrolls, though old, were not dirty, Hyuga Kumokawa understood, while at the same time feeling a sense of being watched.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's telescope technique?

This ninjutsu uses a specially made crystal ball as its core medium. It uses precise chakra control to analyze chakra fluctuations and transmit images, allowing for long-distance monitoring of targets. It was often used by Hiruzen Sarutobi to conduct "monitory observation" of Naruto Uzumaki.

The Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku also used a similar technique, but his monitoring range clearly broke through conventional geographical limitations.

"Although it's used for non-combat reconnaissance purposes, this ninjutsu is really convenient."

Hinata Unkawa sighed inwardly but remained outwardly composed. When his gaze swept over the bookshelf, he even revealed a look of surprise and delight, like a country bumpkin visiting the Grand View Garden.

He casually pulled a scroll from the bookshelf beside him and unfolded it. The fabric was smooth, and the scroll was filled with dense writing in ink, as well as a few drawings.

A ninjutsu called Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning is just an ordinary B-rank Fire Release ninjutsu.

Of course, this "only" refers to Hinata Kumokawa.

After all, the difficulty of learning techniques is divided into six levels. "E-rank" is the entry level of the ninja academy, such as substitution technique, clone technique, and transformation technique. In addition, there are invisibility technique and escape technique, which are more like skills than ninjutsu.

D-rank is equivalent to Genin level. The Binding Technique is the only D-rank ninjutsu that ordinary ninjas can learn during their time at the Ninja Academy. C-rank is equivalent to Chunin level. At this level, the difficulty of learning is already quite high. For example, the Summoning Technique and Puppet Technique are C-rank ninjutsu.

B-rank ninjutsu is already at the level of a Jonin, and it would be considered precious even in the Five Great Ninja Villages. Even the Raikage's Lightning Release Armor is no better than this, so it is not unreasonable to put this technique here.

Hyuga Kumokawa only glanced at it briefly, seemingly uninterested in the ninjutsu, and quickly put the scroll back on the bookshelf.

He continued to flip through and read the contents of several scrolls, most of which contained B-rank wind-style ninjutsu and taijutsu.

For example, the Lotus Flower, Wind Release: Shuriken Production, Wind Release: Great Kamaitachi, Wind Release: Pressure Damage, Wind Release: Vacuum Giant Ball...

"The intention is too obvious."

Hinata Kumokawa's eye twitched slightly. He glanced at it briefly and put it back on the bookshelf.

Only a very few techniques made him stop and pause slightly, such as the psychic technique Rashomon, the Vajra Lock, and the Shadow Hanging Technique.

"He didn't leave me with a single forbidden technique, but he didn't take any of the other ninja clans' secret techniques either. It seems the old man is certain I can't learn them?" Hyuga Kumokawa couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

It's actually quite normal to think this way, since the difference between secret techniques and bloodline limits is very vague.

Techniques like the Nara clan's Shadow Technique and the Uzumaki clan's Adamantine Sealing Technique, while not directly possessed through bloodline like a Bloodline Limit, are still difficult to master without achieving a special "talent".

For example, the Nara clan is born with stronger spiritual energy than ordinary people, while the Akimichi clan is born with stronger physical energy than ordinary people. This is why they are able to master their family's secret Shadow Technique and Expansion Technique.

The same applies to the Uzumaki clan.

According to what Mito Uzumaki said to Kushina Uzumaki in the original work, the reason why he chose Kushina Uzumaki to be the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was because she had a special talent that others did not have.

Clearly, some individuals in the Uzumaki clan possess special talents; only a very small number of them can learn the Adamantine Sealing Chains, making them naturally capable of restraining tailed beasts and suitable to become Jinchūriki.

These clans that rely on secret techniques give the impression of being a level above clans that rely on bloodline limits.

Because they have always followed the tradition of endogamy, they began to purify the Otsutsuki bloodline in their bodies. Through war, they selected those with higher bloodlines, resulting in a special physique with stable inheritance. Based on this physique, they developed special ninjutsu and became a secret clan.

If intermarriage continues for hundreds of years, it might actually become a bloodline limit, allowing people to use it without needing to learn it.

So, unfortunately.

In terms of blood relations, Hyuga Kumokawa's body is the ancestor of all ninja clans.
