Naruto: From Capturing the Main Clan to Becoming the Mastermind

Chapter 16 Dai and Hinata Yu

A few days later, Hyuga Yu, as always, created three shadow clones and made arrangements.

One was conducting experiments underground, while the other was training in ninjutsu in an underground training ground.

The last one is to learn the various kinds of knowledge he has collected.

Three shadow clones were the optimal number he had tested over the years. Exceeding this number would cause his fatigue levels to accumulate and severely reduce his cultivation efficiency the next day.

Meanwhile, Hinata Yu's true form went into the forest and began training in physical techniques.

Shadow clones can only provide experience, not increase physical strength. To unlock the next gate of the Eight Gates, one must improve that aspect oneself.

The training method is Kai's self-discipline.

This is the person who almost kicked the entire story to its conclusion. His cultivation methods must have their merits. Anyway, he won't shout it out like Kai, so there's nothing shameful about it.

"Yu! Your training method is soulless!"

As Hinata Yu performed a one-handed push-up while drenched in sweat, a powerful shout rang out, accompanied by the sound of air being cut through.

Hinata Yu reacted quickly, using his hands and feet to push backward several meters in an instant, avoiding the fierce kick.

"Kai, it's not a good habit to remind the enemy while attacking."

Hinata Yu looked back at the spot where he had just stood, where a strange person wearing a green bodysuit stood.

He was standing right there.

"It might cost you your life on the battlefield."

"That's right, Kai. Burning your youth requires timing. You can't afford to falter on the battlefield."

Also dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, Might Guy with thick eyebrows emerged from behind the tree, crossed his arms, and nodded deeply.

If you ignore the green bodysuits he and his son are wearing, you can probably tell that he is seriously educating his child, rather than recklessly forging ahead on a strange track.

"I understand, Father." Kai grinned, raising his hand to give Dai a thumbs-up. "Youth doesn't allow for failure!"

"Kai!"

Dai looked at his son, tears welling in his eyes, and said, "Well said! For the sake of youth, let's run ten laps around Konoha today."

Kai: "Oh!"

Hinata Yu looked at the two with an indescribable expression, then sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

In Konoha, these two are sometimes the people he finds most difficult to communicate with.

That's so exciting!

However, they are actually quite easy to get along with.

A smile played on his lips as Hyuga Yu asked, "Teacher, you didn't come to see me for training, did you?"

"No," Dai held up a finger and shook it from side to side, "it's for training."

"You've been back for almost six months, and Kai and I haven't seen you here once. We need to check if your skill level has declined, Kai!"

Showing off his pearly white teeth in response to his father, Matt Kai once again faced Yu and struck a pose.

"Let's have a fierce battle!"

Hyuga Yu narrowed his eyes. "Kai, I'm a special Jonin now. I submitted my Jonin exam application to the Hokage a while ago."

Your rival, Kakashi, has long since become a Jonin.

"You haven't kept up with us. If you want to fight us, you'll at least need to become a Jonin first."

Kai paused, put away his stance, and nodded in agreement.

"That's right, while challenging a Jonin excites me, without the corresponding status, I can't gain your recognition, can I?"

"Alright, I'll become a Jonin as soon as possible, and you can't refuse my challenge then."

"First, run ten laps around the village without stopping, otherwise you'll be punished by running twenty laps."

Watching helplessly as Kai was sent away by Yu with just a few words and went to training, Might Guy remained silent.

He's really good at dealing with Kai.

"Teacher Dai, I'm sorry, something happened in the clan before, and I didn't want to involve you." Yu walked to Might Dai's side and said apologetically.

"Ah, about the Hyuga clan members being killed?"

Matt Day scratched his head, ignoring his son who was burning with youthful energy, and asked with some confusion:

"I heard from higher-ups that it was done by spies from another country, right?"

Hyuga Yu shook his head. "The matter is somewhat complicated, and the Hokage himself has taken charge."

Might Guy immediately understood, stopped asking about it, and instead smiled, saying, "You're about to be promoted to Jonin, so you'll have to work even harder!"

He didn't seem worried that Hinata Yu wouldn't pass the test.

Unlike the perennial genin like him, the 15-year-old special jonin, Might Guy knew that Hyuga Yu would become a jonin sooner or later.

"It's all thanks to the teacher's excellent guidance," Hinata Yu smiled.

"What can a genin like me, who can't even use ninjutsu, teach you?"

Dai shook his head, and said with satisfaction, "You and Kai have both surpassed me."

"I don't have the strength." Hinata Yu.

Konoha has always had the strongest genin.

The most outrageous group is the one that hasn't been promoted to Chunin for many years.

In Konoha right now, if we're talking about individual strength, only Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze, and Dai can pose a fatal threat to him.

Others, even the Third Hokage known as the "Professor of Ninjutsu," were not considered dangerous to him.

After all, he knew the trump cards and abilities of those powerful ninjas in Konoha.

And they... knew nothing about him!

"If the village's Chunin promotion exams didn't have requirements for all aspects of a ninja's qualities, you wouldn't have remained a Genin all this time, teacher," Hinata Yushin said.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist must have been cursing this in their hearts before they died, right?

The only strong enough person to kill a Kage is a Genin, and that would be someone from Konoha.

"Haha, although I am very happy to be praised by my disciple, I do have many shortcomings. The Eight Gates is ultimately a forbidden technique."

Dai laughed, revealing the same gleaming teeth as Kai. "Good luck with the Jonin Exams. Don't let carelessness cause you to fail. I'll prepare the best gift to celebrate for you."

Hinata Yu glanced at the tight-fitting outfit he was wearing with a complicated expression, then forced a smile and said, "Thank you, teacher."

Hopefully, it's not what he thinks.

"Alright, enough of this small talk. You sent Kai away so I could personally mentor you, right?"

With one hand behind his back, he made a challenge gesture, "Come on, let's have a passionate, youthful fight."

Hinata Yu's eyes narrowed, and green flames emanated from his entire body.

Since you're aiming to become a Jonin, there's no need to hide things too deeply.

As long as the situation remains under control, the Third Hokage will not take action against the members of the Hyuga branch family. Moreover, the Fourth Hokage is now in power, and the Third Hokage will not interfere in matters that are not necessary.

"Is the Du Gate ready to be opened?"

Dai's expression turned serious, and a green aura appeared around his entire body.

"Looks like it's going to be a fierce and exciting battle."

After saying that, Dai and Hinata Yu exchanged a glance and disappeared from the spot at the same time.

A violent crash echoed through the forest; the terrifying force snapped a tree in two with just a glancing blow.

The forest was quickly turned into a terrible mess by the two of them.

Hinata Yu diligently used his Byakugan to record and observe Dai's movements, and with Dai intentionally feeding him moves, he adjusted his own attacking techniques from time to time.

Gradually absorb the other party's strengths.

Dai Jue was not only his teacher of the Eight Gates Formation, but also his decades of training in physical techniques, and all kinds of experience and physical skills were things he needed to learn!
