Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

"I've returned the silent one."

A moment of silence followed. "Is that enough?"

Hyuga Hoshino spoke first, but Tsunade turned her head away and tucked the blanket in, saying, "That's enough."

I don't know if they're talking about gambling debts or Hinata Hoshino himself.

Hinata Hoshino wisely left, and Tsunade needed to replenish her energy; a porridge with pig liver and blood would be a good idea.

In the early morning, Shizune returned and saw Tsunade drinking porridge. She leaned closer and her expression turned strange. "Is this for replenishing blood?" she wondered. "What's wrong, Lady Tsunade?"

After Tsunade finished her bowl, Hyuga Hoshino happily gave her another one.

"Does Shizune-neechan want to drink with Tsunade-neechan?"

Shizune looked at Hyuga Hoshino and Tsunade with a blank expression. What had happened?

"From now on, Shizune, Hyuga Hoshino will be my adopted younger brother, and I will learn my medical ninjutsu with you."

"Yes, it's Gan's younger brother, no mistake."

"Okay, Hoshino, could you please give me a bowl of porridge?"

After finishing the porridge, Shizune realized that it was the best porridge she had ever tasted in her life. Just kidding, with the combined culinary skills of the Hyuga family's housewife and Maruhoshi Kosuke, her skills were naturally excellent.

"Hoshino, how much do you know about medical ninjutsu?"

Tsunade usually calls him "kid," but she changed her address halfway through, which made Shizune feel increasingly strange; something felt very wrong.

"They only know how to use magic, but have no theoretical basis."

Tsunade pressed her temples. Her theoretical foundation wasn't up to par. Oh well, let's see how she performs in actual combat first.

"Boss, give me a live fish."

A lively, wriggling fish appeared on the table. Tsunade chopped it down with a single chop, and the fish instantly became still and motionless.

"Come on, try it."

"Okay, sister."

Tsunade felt her heart skip a beat. Most intelligent women can't resist a cute little puppy who obediently calls her "sister." Good heavens, he's so good at this.

With the activation of the Palm Healing Technique, Hyuga Hoshino's palm glowed with green light, enveloping the half-dead fish. He withdrew his hand, and the fish came back to life, immediately performing a water splash leap.

"Amazing!"

She clapped silently; someone her age would never possess such skillful palm techniques.

"Impressive my foot, he's still far from it."

Tsunade scoffed. This person's practical combat talent was indeed superb. However, wasn't this level of proficiency a bit excessive? It was already comparable to the vice-director of Konoha Hospital.

Moreover, he really is a member of the Hyuga clan. The Hyuga clan only knows how to create Gentle Fist, and no one in the clan ever learns other ninjutsu.

"Shizune."

"Lady Tsunade, isn't this too fast?"

When Tsunade called out her name, Shizune immediately understood that she was about to proceed to the next step: learning the technique of extracting minor ailments.

With a single glance from Tsunade, Shizune immediately took out a poison needle and pricked the fish.

The fish's body turned purple, clearly indicating that it was severely poisoned.

"The technique of extracting small ailments."

Jingyin brought over a basin of water and used her skillful extraction technique to remove the toxins. The toxins were then placed in the water, which immediately turned black.

"Hoshino, give it a try."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow, and Shizune administered the poison once more.

Fish: If I had known, I would have been in this rotten water. Please, just give me a quick death and stop torturing me.

Hinata Hoshino gritted his teeth and went up to form the hand seals, but unsurprisingly, the attempt failed. The fish was instantly poisoned to death.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Tsunade laughed until tears streamed down her face. "A mere brat like that, nothing special."

"Mute, try again."

After Tsunade finished laughing, she stopped Shizune, saying, "You should learn some theory first."

He took out a storage scroll, and two stacks of books, each as tall as a person, appeared: "Introduction to Medical Ninjutsu", "How to Use Palm Healing Technique", "Detailed Explanation of the Fine Disease Extraction Technique", "Application of Chakra Scalpel", and so on.

"After you've finished reading these books, move on to the next step. Now, it's time to test your skills."

Tsunade truly had no idea who was being dominated yesterday afternoon and evening. It definitely wasn't Hyuga Hoshino.

Tsunade put her arm around Hyuga Hoshino's neck, ignoring the shockwave from the brain pad. Hyuga Hoshino felt good and didn't resist. He followed Tsunade to the grove outside Tanabata Street.

Going into the woods with Tsunade sounds exciting.

Tsunade released Hyuga Hoshino, distanced herself from him, stood still, and beckoned him to attack first.

"Eight Trigrams - Empty Palm".

With a palm strike, Tsunade twisted her body to dodge, and then slammed her fist into the ground, causing a huge rock to rise up and crash towards Hyuga Hoshino.

With her Byakugan activated, Tsunade was no longer behind the boulder. Activating her natural energy perception, she appeared above Hyuga Hoshino and unleashed a powerful attack, the Painful Heaven Kick, which cleaved down like a battle axe.

"Return to Heaven"

The boulder was shredded as it turned around, and Tsunade's Painful Kick arrived, slamming heavily into the Rejuvenation. For the first time, Hyuga Hoshino felt that the Rejuvenation's defense was insufficient.

"boom"

With the Heavenly Reversal broken, Hyuga Hoshino stumbled back several steps. Tsunade, still brimming with energy, slammed her foot into the ground, leaving a shallow crater.

"Come again."

"Gentle Fist: Bagua 361 Forms"

As soon as Tsunade finished speaking, Hyuga Hoshino closed in on her. Tsunade seized the opportunity and punched Hyuga Hoshino's palm.

"Tsunade's move was really ruthless!" Hyuga Hoshino thought to himself, "My bedmate."

Hyuga Hoshino twisted his wrist and slapped Tsunade's wrist with his palm, avoiding direct confrontation.

Tsunade changed her power, switching from a punch to a smash with incredible speed. When Hyuga Hoshino changed his move, he retained some of his strength. As Tsunade's arm slammed down, Hyuga Hoshino flicked his wrist, grazing past Tsunade's arm and pulling back.

Hyuga Hoshino activated his Body Flicker Technique and abruptly retreated. Tsunade's arm slammed down, creating another deep crater in the ground.

Hyuga Hoshino wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Tsunade activated her Super Strength Technique, slamming her fist into the ground, sending up a wave of earth.

Tsunade is a rare whetstone, and Hyuga Hoshino has no intention of letting her go. Constantly avoiding her is not in Hyuga Hoshino's style. He can't use his bloodline limit, but the Eight Gates will always be an option.

The soft fist stance is changed to a hard fist stance, "Eight Gates of the Formation - Sixth Gate - Open".

Green steam appeared on Hyuga Hoshino's body. Tsunade was startled, then smiled. Hyuga Hoshino really brought her a lot of surprises.

The main reason is that Tsunade suffers from hemophobia. If she were to bleed, today's instruction would have to end there. Hyuga Hoshino has been trying to prevent the two of them from getting hurt and bleeding.

Now, they're caught up in the heat of the moment and don't care anymore.

Hyuga Hoshino threw a punch, creating a surge of energy. Tsunade channeled her chakra and activated her Super Strength Technique.

Their fists collided, and the ground beneath their feet cracked inch by inch. Silently, she watched the fight from a distance and walked further away.

Chapter 50 Jiraiya's Information

The two figures separated, Tsunade was full of fighting spirit. Since suffering from "hemophobia", she had not fought against someone of the same level for a long time, let alone this kind of physical combat.

Hyuga Hoshino's aura subsided, and with a leap, he jumped high into the air, locking onto Tsunade. Tsunade's expression hardened; what a powerful punch that descended from the sky!

"The morning peacock, oh, da da da da."

Countless fist shadows burning with flames attacked Tsunade. Tsunade slammed her fist into the ground, causing a boulder to be lifted up. She then delivered another punch, sending countless fist-sized pebbles flying upwards to collide with the fiery fist shadows.

Even after the rubble was exhausted, Hyuga Hoshino's fist shadow was not over. However, as his momentum was locked, the fist shadow struck Tsunade, leaving a piece of wood behind. This was the Substitution Jutsu.

Hyuga Hoshino fell from the sky, the Eight Gates were deactivated, and Tsunade, with tacit understanding, stopped attacking as well.

"Hoshino, where did you learn the Eight Gates Formation? Let me see how bad the backlash is."

After examining him, Tsunade discovered that Hyuga Hoshino had not suffered any backlash from the Eight Gates, and his physique was incredibly strong. His vigorous life force made Tsunade feel as if she were seeing her great-grandfather, Senju Hashirama.

Tsunade recalled that during the Warring States period, the Hyuga clan seemed to have a very powerful ancestor named Hyuga Tennin.

Tsunade: My adopted younger brother has the potential to become a Hyuga Tennin.

Hinata Hoshino felt a chill run down her spine, as if her luck had been diminished.

Jiraiya was writing information about Hyuga Hoshino at an inn in the brothel district. When the writing dried, he summoned a toad and sent the information into the toad's mouth.

Minato Namikaze was still working overtime when a toad suddenly appeared, spitting out information. Minato took it and began to examine it carefully.

"The eldest elder of the Hyuga clan has given me a wonderful surprise."

Minato Namikaze revealed a bright smile. Minato knew, which meant the Third Hokage knew, and the Third Hokage knowing meant Danzo knew.

It's a strange chain of information. Danzo, who was squatting on the toilet and straining wildly, couldn't help but curse out loud.

"Damn Uchiha, damn Orochimaru, damn Minato Namikaze, damn Tokuma Hyuga."

It's an old tradition of insulting the Uchiha clan. Orochimaru performed a Hashirama cell transplant on Danzo, which prevented Danzo from eating and using the toilet.

Minato Namikaze prevented Danzo from becoming Hokage. Tokuma Hyuga, who was Hoshino Hyuga's grandfather, concealed Hoshino's strength, which Danzo viewed as a betrayal of the village.

Danzo stood up and pressed the flush button. "It's all for the village."

Even if you don't need to go to the toilet, this is the unspoken part of Danzo's statement.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, sat in his private office in the Hokage Building, smoking a pipe and frowning in thought.

Hyuga Hoshino? The Hyuga clan's rumored good-for-nothing? Why is he hiding his strength?

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but think that someone who could fight Jiraiya on equal terms was at least an elite Jonin, and Hiruzen Sarutobi said he had never seen an elite Jonin who was only thirteen years old.

How could he not keep such talent under his control? Moreover, Konoha should not be a place where anything happens outside of his control.

"Go and invite the Hyuga clan's eldest elder."

"Yes."
