Hyuga Yomukage followed closely behind Neji and soon noticed someone stealthily trailing them.
The tracking method was too amateurish.
In his previous life, it might not have been discovered.
But in this world, without a cheat, some actions were almost full of flaws.
Hyuga Neji and Night Veil, who was beside him, exchanged glances, both realizing the anomaly behind them.
Soon.
Both of them instantly disappeared.
They reappeared in a patch of grass.
In their line of sight was a girl with long black hair and black clothes; she had a cute expression, holding branches in her hands, carefully squatting in the grass.
Her delicate face was smudged with some dirt, her expression was tense, and the Uchiha fan on her back indicated her family identity.
The moment he saw the Uchiha fan, Hyuga Yomukage realized something.
If he remembered correctly, Uchiha Itachi should be initiating the Uchiha Clan massacre around this time.
Thinking of this, Hyuga Yomukage looked at the long-haired girl with a complex expression.
"Who are you? Uchiha Kiyomi? Why are you following us?" Hyuga Neji recognized Uchiha Kiyomi and was the first to question her.
His eyes held a hint of unfriendliness.
Due to his father Hyuga Hizashi's death.
This made Hyuga Neji maintain a pessimistic fatalism when looking at this world.
Therefore, Neji did not like interacting with strangers at the moment.
"Uh... Lord Yemu, I wasn't intentionally following you; I just wanted to see what you and he were up to."
Uchiha Kiyomi interlaced her fingers, lowering her head, not daring to look directly at Hyuga Yomukage.
Actually, she suspected that the two of them might be together, but she was also very afraid that Hyuga Yomukage would dislike her.
If Night Veil disliked her, Uchiha Kiyomi felt that there might be no meaning in her living.
"Night Veil??"
Hyuga Neji's eyes were strange, constantly moving back and forth between Night Veil and Qingxue.
There were some question marks above his head.
"When did you two get so close?" Neji was quite puzzled.
One must know that directly addressing someone by their given name is a sign of a very close relationship in this world.
"That's a long story; I won't explain it."
Hyuga Yomukage shook his head.
He opened his mouth as if to speak but then stopped.
Only he knew the dire situation the Uchiha Clan was currently in within Konoha.
Daring to wander around so close to Night Veil.
There was a good chance they would be taken by Danzo and become experimental lab mice.
"We're going to train. Do you want to come?" Hyuga Neji saw that Uchiha Kiyomi seemed to have a good relationship with Hyuga Yomukage, so he proactively invited her.
At least, Uchiha Kiyomi didn't constantly show that annoying expression like Uchiha Sasuke.
Uchiha Kiyomi slightly raised her gaze, shyly looking at Hyuga Yomukage, "Can I come?"
Hyuga Yomukage nodded.
No matter what, she was his girlfriend from his previous life.
Although he didn't have much affection for Uchiha Kiyomi now, and even felt some fear.
But it wasn't to the point of treating her as an enemy.
Moreover, Uchiha Kiyomi had generated quite a bit of emotional value for him.
Uchiha Kiyomi's heart filled with joy, a smile on her face, revealing a cute dimple.
This made Hyuga Neji frown.
He always had a misconception that his good friend would be snatched away.
Soon, the three of them arrived at a rocky hill.
This was Night Veil and Neji's secret training base.
Since the Hyuga Clan didn't have many elemental Ninjutsu, their techniques were basically Taijutsu developed based on Gentle Fist.
Furthermore, using the Byakugan for assistance, for point targeting, etc., were the Hyuga Clan's standard attack methods.
Simply put, the Hyuga Clan specialized in body refinement.
There were many cracked handprints on the rocks, and many stones had even turned into Debris, which was the result of Neji and Night Veil's training over the past year.
Hyuga Neji came to Night Veil's side, looking at Uchiha Kiyomi, who was sitting on a stone not far away, and whispered quietly into Night Veil's ear, "Night Veil, can that woman be trusted?"
Hyuga Yomukage saw that Uchiha Kiyomi was unusually quiet and nodded, "Hmm, she at least won't do anything to harm... Hmm... She can be trusted, I guess."
Hyuga Yomukage's words paused; he had been quite confident initially.
But when he recalled his memories from his previous life, he became a bit uncertain again.
As expected, when Uchiha Kiyomi saw Hyuga Neji and Night Veil being so close, her eyebrows raised, and her dark pupils seemed to be contemplating something.
"Forget it, my technique will be known by others sooner or later anyway." Hyuga Neji waved his hand, then excitedly said, "Night Veil, I know how to improve the Eight Trigrams Palm Ninjutsu from before."
"Because our branch family's Byakugan is restricted, we cannot achieve a 360-degree unobstructed view, which prevents us from using Yang Release Chakra to activate the Eight Trigrams Formation."
"However, if we change the Ninjutsu's posture, we can achieve the effect of consecutive Eight Trigrams Palms."
Neji saw that Night Veil seemed uninterested, thinking he didn't believe him, "Night Veil, attack from my blind spot."
"Neji-san, are you not joking?" Hyuga Yomukage was a bit unsure.
Hyuga Neji rubbed his head, looking at the shattered stones not far away, his eyes filled with apprehension, "Ahem, you should go easy on me. I don't want to be smashed to pieces."
No choice.
This guy was simply a monster.
He himself was only improving Taijutsu.
And Night Veil seemed to have developed a new set of fist techniques based on the Eight Trigrams Gentle Fist.
Originally, the Byakugan was only used to assist in targeting pressure points, but on this monster, the Byakugan had become a weakness-locking device for a decisive blow.
"Then I'm coming."
Hyuga Yomukage stretched his wrists. He certainly wasn't here to abuse Hyuga Neji.
His training targets had always been those huge stones.
"Good, remember to come from my blind spot. Once I compensate for the Byakugan's visual flaws, I'll tell you the secret." Hyuga Neji was eager to try.
He also wanted to learn Hyuga Yomukage's fist technique, but unfortunately, he found it wasn't suitable for him.
Uh...
Hyuga Yomukage's expression paused.
If he told Neji that his Byakugan actually had no limitations, he wondered what he would think.
Under the bloodline suppression of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, the so-called Byakugan flaw had long been compensated for.
After all, how could the Caged Bird Seal, which targets the Byakugan and suppresses the brain nerves, possibly suppress the Ōtsutsuki Clan bloodline?
Seeing Neji's serious expression.
Night Veil shook his head, still deciding not to tell him this cruel truth.
"Swish!!"
His thoughts settled.
He saw Night Veil's body instantly disappear.
Swift as the wind, calm as the forest, aggressive as fire, unmoving as the mountain, and striking like lightning!
"Bang!!"
Only a muffled sound echoed in the air.
Hyuga Neji didn't react at all.
It should be said that even if his Byakugan saw Night Veil coming, his body speed couldn't react in time.
His whole body was sent flying backward.
Just as he was about to fly into a large stone.
A figure appeared behind him, supporting his back with a single hand.
!!!
Hyuga Neji's forehead broke out in cold sweat, and it took him a few seconds to regain his composure.
He looked at Hyuga Yomukage behind him, his pupils trembling.
Both of his hands were constantly numb and temporarily lost sensation.
If he hadn't protected his chest with his hands beforehand.
Hyuga Neji wouldn't even dare to imagine what would have happened.
Broken bones and torn tendons would probably be considered minor.
[Hyuga Neji feels shocked, harvesting emotional value +200]
"Neji-san, are you alright?" Hyuga Yomukage asked with concern.
"I'm fine, thanks to you going easy on me. Although my Byakugan saw your attack, I couldn't react at all." Hyuga Neji shook his head, a wry smile on his face.
Within his eyes, there was even a hint of disappointment.
No choice, Hyuga Yomukage's talent and strength were like a huge mountain pressing down on him, making it impossible for him to breathe even a little.
This made him, the so-called Hyuga genius, seem particularly ridiculous.
Hyuga Yomukage seemed to know what Neji was thinking.
He lightly patted his shoulder, "Neji-san, I'm going to train myself; you should also train yourself."
Saying that, Hyuga Yomukage walked towards a large stone. His goal tonight was to smash this five-meter-tall stone into pieces and then go home.
Night Veil expressed understanding for Neji's disappointment.
No choice, in this world, if you don't have a cheat, you are destined to be nothing more than cannon fodder.
It can even be said that.
The entire Hyuga Clan is basically cannon fodder.
