Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

Kakashi Hatake pointed to himself, Yugao Uzuki, and Hayate Gekko. Hoshino Hyuga nodded and looked at Itachi Uchiha and Izumi Uchiha, "And you guys?"

"I hope the adults can provide practical guidance."

"Big brother, can you teach me ninjutsu and swordsmanship?"

"Alright, my shadow clones will provide one-on-one instruction. You must study hard, after all, I am no devil."

Kakashi Hatake drew his standard kodachi from the Anbu, and Hyuga Hoshino's clone also used a kodachi.

"Kakashi, why aren't you using your father's sword?"

"I'm not qualified to use it yet."

White Fang's sword is somewhat similar to Thor's sword, requiring extremely high skill from the user.

White Fang's sword is an assassination weapon; it's very sharp and has good chakra flow, but unfortunately, it's quite thin and not suitable for prolonged sword fights. It relies on high speed to cut through anything the opponent can do, something Kakashi currently lacks.

The Thunder God Sword relies on chakra; if the chakra is insufficient, the sword becomes extremely fragile. This is evident from the fact that after Green Aoi stole the Thunder God Sword, Naruto Uzumaki broke it with a single Rasengan.

"Then do you know where you're lacking?"

"His swordsmanship is too weak, his speed is insufficient, his physique is not strong, and his control over chakra is inadequate."

"Physical strength and chakra control can be learned gradually, and speed can be improved by stimulating cells with lightning chakra. Only swordsmanship can be learned and improved little by little. Come, let me see your swordsmanship."

"Chong"

Hyuga Hoshino's ability to block Kakashi Hatake's two-handed shojita with one hand is indeed a serious problem.

"too slow!"

"Qiang Qiang Qiang..."

Kakashi Hatake launched a series of powerful attacks, which made Hoshino Hyuga feel a bit bored. It wasn't just about straightforward slashing, but it was too easy to see through his attack intentions.

Let Kakashi Hatake practice some more. Hyuga Hoshino took the initiative to swing his sword, using only a simple move called "Power Cleave." Kakashi Hatake watched helplessly as the kodachi slashed down. It was a move that was so simple, yet it gave Kakashi Hatake a feeling that he couldn't avoid it.

What Kakashi Hatake found most unacceptable was that the force of the slash was exactly the same as his own.

"Clang Clang"

Kakashi Hatake noticed a single notch on the shojiro, proving that Hyuga Hoshino had been slashing at the same spot every time.

"Dang"

Kakashi Hatake's shojiro was cleaved in two, the blade spinning and embedding itself in the soil beside him.

"Kakashi, did you understand?"

Kakashi Hatake shook his head, puzzled. Hoshino Hyuga handed Kakashi his shojitsu, saying, "Swing it ten thousand times, right now!"

Kakashi Hatake took the sword, said nothing, and began to swing it.

"Maoyue Xiyan?"

"exist!"

Why do you want to learn how to use a knife?

"Because my ancestors were all swordsmen, this is the only thing I can learn."

"Let me see your swordsmanship first."

"Dance of the Three Suns and Moons."

With a swift movement, three figures appeared, wielding swords and charging towards Hyuga Hoshino. Their swordsmanship was utterly ordinary, causing Hyuga Hoshino to shake his head.

Easily identifying the true form, ignoring the other two illusions, she intercepted the attack of Uzuki Yugao's true form with a single strike.

The other two phantoms had already vanished by the time they reached Hyuga Hoshino.

"Uzuki Yugao, do you know where the flaws in this move lie?"

"There is no way to create a phantom that can switch freely between the real body and the illusion."

"Okay, take another look."

Hyuga Hoshino's shadow clone also unleashed the Crescent Moon Dance, with three phantom images appearing before Uzuki Yugao.

"Guess which one is the real one."

The blade pierced through a phantom. Uzuki Yugao thought she had guessed wrong, but the phantom tapped her on the head with its blade.

"Ow!"

"Guess again."

The sword blade pierced through the phantom on the left. Uzuki Yugao stared blankly at the phantom in front of her. The phantom in the middle gave her a sharp rap on the head. Uzuki Yugao slashed at the phantom in the middle, while the phantom on the left slapped her on the head with a sword.

"Too slow. This amount of time is enough to transfer the real body."

"Come again."

Hinata Hoshino shook her head, while Uzuki Yugao was already exasperated. "Forget it, it's too much to ask of you to stop here."

A whack-a-mole machine appeared in front of Uzuki Yugao. "Playing this game might help you."

Uzuki Yugao picked up a small hammer and started playing whack-a-mole. Hinata Hoshino touched the large bump on Uzuki Yugao's head, and the green light of the Palm Healing Technique appeared, causing the bump to disappear.

"Moonlight Gale".

"Yes, cough cough cough."

"Your health is poor; you're practically suffering from chronic fatigue and various injuries. Your condition is actually unsuitable for becoming a ninja, just like Kurama Yakumo's. So why do you want to become a ninja? As far as I know, your family is quite wealthy; why bother?"

Hayate Gekko looked at Yugao Uzuki. Although she was being brutally beaten by Hoshino Hyuga, in Hayate Gekko's eyes, Yugao Uzuki was like a goddess in the world, full of radiance.

"I understand, these young people nowadays! How about I introduce you to Tsunade and let her treat you?"

"Thank you, Elder."

"However, a word of caution: prepare plenty of money, as house calls are not cheap."

"Lord Elder!"

"Itachi, can you tell me why you want me to mentor you? A Jonin from the Uchiha clan would be more suitable than me."

"Elder, you've been on the battlefield, what were your impressions?"

"Feeling? There is no feeling at all. It's nothing but bloodshed and mutual slaughter. What else can one feel?"

"Can't people understand each other?"

"Mutual understanding? Kid, you're being a bit naive."

"If I'm willing to understand others, and others are willing to understand me, why is it impossible?"

"I'll take you there and you'll see."

Hyuga Hoshino, accompanied by Uchiha Itachi, unleashed his spatial powers, their figures concealed by camouflage.

In the Land of Rain, a place where it rains all the time, a middle-aged man, dressed in rags, had barely found a place to take shelter from the rain and was sighing repeatedly.

Are you willing to understand him?

"I am willing."

Uchiha Itachi nodded solemnly, while Hyuga Hoshino smiled and reached out to extract Itachi's memories, letting Itachi experience them.

An ordinary family of three, because of the war, the Sand Village and the Leaf Village clashed here, using ninjutsu, kunai, and explosive tags.

Smoke filled the air, screams and wails assaulted Itachi's mind, and then Itachi saw a Sunagakure ninja casually toss a shuriken, ending the man's wife and children.

“Uchiha Itachi, please put yourself in this man’s shoes and try to understand that Sand Village ninja, and also let that Sand Village ninja understand this middle-aged man who has lost his wife and children.”

Before Uchiha Itachi could say anything, Hyuga Hoshino slammed him into the middle-aged man's body, and countless beautiful memories of his family and the pain of losing everything flooded his mind.

"I……"

The middle-aged man, brought by Uchiha Itachi, opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately had nothing to say.

He pulled out Uchiha Itachi and shoved him into the body of a Sand Ninja. He felt no remorse or guilt for casually killing two poor civilians.

Uchiha Itachi remained silent, suddenly wavering. He realized that it was difficult for people to empathize with each other.

Hyuga Hoshino led Uchiha Itachi away. The rain was still falling. Uchiha Itachi was in a bad mood, while Hyuga Hoshino was laughing happily. The scene of his moral compass collapsing was simply the best dessert for those who wanted to have fun.

Officials in the Land of Fire plundered money, and the daimyo of the Land of Fire accepted tributes from the officials. Uchiha Itachi remained silent.

Because his family was killed by bandits, he became a bandit himself, and was eventually eliminated by ninjas.

Itachi Uchiha's mind became increasingly confused. Shisui Uchiha's view was wrong; it was impossible for people to understand each other, especially those with deep-seated hatred.

Hyuga Hoshino looked at Uchiha Itachi and thought, "Was I too harsh? This heart of mine is so fragile, even glue can't stick it back together. It's such a tiny, fragile heart!"

They returned to the training ground with Itachi Uchiha, who remained silent.

"Elder, what should I do if I want to resolve this conflict?"

"If you are strong enough, you can suppress everything. As long as you live, no one will dare to start a war. Alternatively, if everyone is united and their thoughts are controlled, there will be no one with any ideas, and naturally, no war will be started for any reason."

Uchiha Itachi pondered, somewhat confused, but quickly regained his composure. Just because he couldn't find it now didn't mean he wouldn't find it in the future.

Chapter 250 The Three-Tails Resurrects, and Obito Uchiha Vents His Fury

"Please enlighten me, Elder."

Solutions can wait; right now, the most important thing is to improve our strength.

"Come on, little weasel."

Uchiha Itachi didn't care about the form of address and started with a standard Uchiha fluid technique, which Hyuga Hoshino countered with his right hand.

Hinata Hoshino's only feeling was that it was very standard, so standard that it was somewhat rigid.

Uchiha Itachi swung his leg down, and Hyuga Hoshino raised his hand to block. Hyuga Hoshino guessed that the next move would be a spinning kick, and sure enough, Uchiha Itachi twisted his waist and kicked Hyuga Hoshino with his other leg.

Hyuga Hoshino exerted force with his right hand, directly shoving Uchiha Itachi away. "Not bad taijutsu, very methodical."

Itachi Uchiha realized that this meant his taijutsu was too rigid and not flexible enough.

Uchiha Itachi threw a straight punch, and Hyuga Hoshino smiled, finding it interesting. He grasped Uchiha Itachi's fist with his right hand, and shadow clones that had been lying in ambush appeared on both sides, striking Hyuga Hoshino's temple with their fists.

Hyuga Hoshino raised an eyebrow, "Pretty ruthless." With a flick of his head, he delivered a punch to the head of two of Uchiha Itachi's shadow clones, shattering them instantly.

A hint of surprise appeared on Madara Uchiha's usually calm face. "Good start."
