Even though he had committed numerous murders and arsons after transmigrating, and had gone through all sorts of dating and seduction techniques, and his moral standards had been lowered considerably, Hyuga Kaze still found it somewhat difficult to accept the shamelessness of some people in the ninja world.
Just like Hyuga Hiashi, who actually wanted his 12-year-old daughter to learn the tricks of bathing and getting into bed, and to have a grandson as soon as possible. Even without the censorship of the gods, Hyuga Kaze felt that his conscience wouldn't allow him to do it. At least she should be an adult.
Ignoring the ambiguous look in Hyuga Hiashi's eyes, Hyuga Kaze asked, "How did the new members' assessment go today?"
When the conversation turned to serious matters, Hiashi Hyuga became solemn. "Under your leadership, Lord Kaze, the Hyuga clan has produced many outstanding talents. Among the 14 clan members participating in the test today, even the weakest one has the strength of an elite genin."
After the battle, Neji emerged victorious, having already achieved a level playing field with the Jonin of his clan.
When Neji was mentioned, Hiashi Hyuga's expression was very complex, containing both pride and a hint of regret. He regretted that a genius like Neji wasn't his own child, and he regretted even more that his younger brother Hizashi died for him, causing Neji to always harbor resentment towards him.
Even after I showed Neji Hizashi's will, his attitude only softened slightly; he was never particularly affectionate towards me.
Suppressing his emotions, Hiashi Hyuga continued his report, "Neji is not only extremely talented and progresses very quickly in mastering those advanced taijutsu techniques, but he is also exceptionally disciplined. Even after winning several matches today and becoming the top fighter in the clan, he is still training diligently in the training ground."
That child idolizes you and hopes to get closer to you through their own efforts.
After more than two years of relentless training and mastery of advanced taijutsu, the new clan leader, Hyuga Kaze, is now recognized throughout the Hyuga clan as having unparalleled talent and immense strength.
Even in the most arrogant fantasies of the Hyuga clan members, no one dared to imagine that they could surpass Hyuga Kaze; they only hoped to get a little closer to his shadow.
Hearing Hiashi's words, Hyuga Kaze also became a little interested. He wasn't surprised at all that Neji could achieve the top ranking among the younger generation of the Hyuga clan.
In the original work, Neji's ability to independently develop the Rejuvenation Technique already demonstrates his talent. Later in the story, perhaps due to the fading of hatred or the need to make way for the protagonist, Neji's progress became less noticeable.
Now freed from the shackles of the Caged Bird Seal and having acquired numerous advanced Gentle Fist techniques, Neji is undoubtedly able to surpass many of his former selves.
"Let's go to the training ground. Let me see how much progress the number one genius of the younger generation of the Hyuga clan has made in the past six months."
Hinata Kaze got up and led Hinata and Hanabi towards the training ground. When the group arrived at the training ground, they saw a handsome young man dressed in white, focused on practicing Gentle Fist.
"Chieftain"
After Neji finished his Gentle Fist routine and stopped, he noticed Hyuga Kaze and the others, and quickly came over to bow.
"No need for formalities. It's been eight months since our last sparring session. Let me see how you've changed today."
Hyuga Kaze walked to the center of the training field and stood calmly, signaling Neji to unleash his attack.
Hyuga Kaze would not ignore a genius like Hyuga Neji. Over the past two years, he has repeatedly taught and impressed Neji through actual combat, and has completely conquered Neji. Today is just another opportunity to consolidate his power.
Neji knew Hyuga Kaze's strength well, so he didn't hold back at all and immediately activated his Byakugan.
"Gentle Fist, Empty Palm"
Hyuga Neji lunged forward at lightning speed, simultaneously unleashing a powerful palm strike that pierced the air and struck Hyuga Kaze.
"A gust of wind can dissipate energy"
Faced with the attack, Hyuga Kaze remained unmoved. Soft and dense streams of air gathered in front of him. Neji's palm strikes melted away as quickly as ice met fire!
"Eight Trigrams. Mountain-Breaking Strike"
The first palm strike delayed the attack with its force, while Neji decisively increased the power of his second palm strike, compressing his chakra to its limit to form an indestructible ray that shot straight at Hyuga Kaze.
"Eight Trigrams Universe Steps"
Before the Mountain-Breaking Strike could take effect, Neji moved in a flash, taking eight steps in quick succession to create eight temporary physical shadow clones, each using different taijutsu techniques to attack Hyuga Kaze.
"Eight Trigrams Universe Steps"
Faced with Neji's Mountain Breaker and the siege of numerous clones, Hyuga Kaze no longer stood still. His movement speed was faster than Neji's, and he dodged the Mountain Breaker in an instant. Then, he also used the Eight Steps Shift to create clones.
Hyuga Kaze's clones arrived first, blocking Neji's charge. The two, along with their clones, formed a total of eighteen bodies, moving with incredible speed. Their densely packed figures moved at high speed, leaving trails of afterimages in the air. The two engaged in a unique battle in the training ground.
This kind of fantastical battle was completely invisible to ordinary people, and even the Hyuga clan members with their Byakugan found it difficult to grasp clearly. Whether it was Hinata and Hanabi in the arena, or the other clan members training in the training ground, they were all mesmerized and full of praise.
Both to instruct Hyuga Neji and to show off his skills and intimidate people, Hyuga Kaze used the same moves throughout his fight against Neji.
The Heaven-Slaying Hand met the Heaven-Slaying Hand. Neji's clone's fierce attack, along with the clone itself, was split in two by Hyuga Kaze's slash, the two sides perfectly symmetrical.
When the two clones clashed, Neji's fingertips suddenly exploded, and then his fingers, arms, and internal organs seemed to turn into explosives, continuously exploding until the clone was blown to dust in mid-air amidst a wail.
When Neji used the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms against the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, each of his palm strikes was blocked by Hyuga Kaze a short distance away, and he was instead struck by it.
The sixty-four palm strikes were delivered in their entirety, and Neji's main body had been struck sixty-four times by Hyuga Kaze. However, Hyuga Kaze did not inject any chakra, so Neji was still unharmed.
"Return to Heaven"
Neji activated the Rotation, forming a chakra shield around his body. The shield then spun rapidly and expanded outwards, crashing into Hyuga Kaze.
Neji knew he was no match for the clan leader, but he still wanted to fight to the end. He deeply admired Hyuga Kaze, and today's battle was to show the clan leader his growth with all his might.
"Silk-winding technique"
Hyuga Kaze did not back down in the face of the Reincarnation Shield. He produced dense chakra threads from his hands, which wrapped around Neji's Reincarnation Shield. Then, he pulled them at high speed in the opposite direction, layering them on top of the Reincarnation Shield.
After the faintly glowing energy shield was wrapped in chakra threads, it became difficult to expand, and its rotation was forcibly stopped. In the end, the entire chakra shield shattered with a bang.
The legendary absolute defense technique, Rotation, renowned throughout the ninja world, has actually been broken by the Hyuga clan's own patriarch!
