In Konoha, Ashura Chakra is dropped at the beginning.

Chapter 53: No more pretending, let’s be honest, I am Senju Yagyu

Yagyu was indeed very surprised.

The previous second, he was still wondering whether Hinata VS Hyuga Neji in the original work was a coincidence, but the next second, he was matched with Hyuga Neji.

There is no doubt that Yagyu was not wrong. The matching in the original work was indeed a secret operation, and the same is true now.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not want to watch the duel between the heirs of the main and branch families of the Hyuga clan, but wanted to watch the duel between the chief students.

So, Yagyu calmed down, nodded to Team 8 who were cheering him on, and then instantly appeared in the hall.

"Yagyu, come on! Don't show mercy just because he's Hinata's clan member, beat him hard!"

Ino's shouts echoed throughout the venue, and she paid no attention to the glances directed at her.

Sakura and Hinata were very envious of this.

Shy Hinata and ladylike Sakura really don't have the courage to do such a thing, and can only cheer for Yagyu in their hearts.

"This boy is so lucky!"

Asuma Sarutobi lit a cigarette and murmured with envy, "Can you really do whatever you want just because you're handsome?"

From the Ninja School till now, he hasn't even caught up with Kurenai Yuhi.

However, Yagyu is surrounded by three beautiful and lovely girls, and the relationship between the three girls is very good.

If it were anyone else, Asuma Sarutobi would definitely suspect that their friendliness was fake.

But Ino was his student, and Asuma Sarutobi already knew her character and knew very well that she was not pretending.

That Yagyu, how did he manage to be so steady?

"White eyes—open!"

Hyuga Neji, who came down from the stands, suddenly opened his Byakugan.

However, he did not make the soft fist starting posture, nor did he attack Yagyu immediately, but looked at Yagyu's body.

"As expected..."

After a few seconds, Hyuga Neji said slowly, as if it was what I expected. "When I was in ninja school, I was very curious. How could you, a commoner without any individual guidance, defeat the heirs of the major ninja clans? And how could you use B-level water escape in the fifth grade?"

"Logically speaking, your identity has already determined your fate, and there is no way to reverse it."

"But somehow, you managed to do the impossible, as if you had broken fate."

"Now it seems that you didn't break your fate. Instead, the fact that you were able to overpower them and retain the position of the top student was fate's arrangement."

Hyuga Neji raised his hand and pointed at Yagyu, saying: "Your chakra is at least dozens of times more than mine. Except for that yellow-haired guy and the guy with the gourd on his back from the Sand Village, even the Hokage's chakra cannot compare to yours!"

"what?!"

Hearing this, the faces of the Genin and the major Jonin in the stands changed.

Then many senior ninjas who were good at perception or had special means began to sense Yagyu's chakra.

Then, their eyes were filled with horror:
"What a powerful chakra amount, at least dozens of times more than mine!"

"He seems to be Xihi Kurenai's student. We really found a treasure!"

"..."

Hatake Kakashi also lifted up his forehead protector, revealing his three-magatama Sharingan and sizing up Yagyu, and said in amazement: "With such chakra, and this hair and eye color, he can't be..."

Hearing the exclamations of the senior ninjas, Sarutobi Hiruzen held a pipe in his hand, exhaled a puff of smoke, and stared at Yagyu below through the mist, his heart full of surprise.

Looks like...so much like it!

Looking at Yagyu who remained calm, Hyuga Neji continued, "It is recorded in history books that in order to connect the major clans with the common people, the Senju clan made a large number of clan members give up their surnames and integrate into Konoha."

"For decades, the Senju is Konoha, and Konoha is the Senju." "Silver hair, red eyes, amazing chakra, your features are almost exactly the same as the Second Hokage."

"If nothing unexpected happens, you are a descendant of the Senju clan, and you have awakened the physique of the Senju clan in another generation."

"That's why you have been able to suppress Uchiha Sasuke and even the heirs of the major ninja clans!"

"hiss……"

Almost at the moment when Hyuga Neji finished speaking, all the Konoha jonin in the stands couldn't help but gasp.

All the doubts just now suddenly became clear, just like the sky is shining after the clouds have been cleared away.

"Silver hair, red eyes, and this chakra, this feature is indeed the same as the second generation."

"A descendant of the Senju clan? No wonder he became the top student of this class, and such a special class at that!"

"I don't know how strong he is!"

"..."

Yuhi Kurenai also realized it belatedly and murmured: "No wonder Yagyu can use such a powerful water-style ninjutsu in a waterless environment. So that's why..."

"Yagyu-kun..."

Hinata also looked at Yagyu with her beautiful eyes wide open, feeling an indescribable surprise in her heart.

If Yagyu is really a member of the Senju clan, then she might really be able to be with Yagyu, and her father and the clan elders would not stop her.

In the eyes of the Uchiha clan, they and the Senju clan are one of the two major families that established Konoha.

But in the eyes of those ninja clans, the Senju clan was the founder of Konoha, and the Uchiha clan was just a loser, the last ninja clan to be defeated by Senju Hashirama.

So in their eyes and the eyes of the daimyo, the Senju is the orthodox one!
This is also the reason why Tsunade was able to immediately succeed the position of the Fifth Hokage after returning to the village, and why Danzo Shimura did not even have the desire to compete for it.

There is no way to argue, and it is impossible to argue!

If Yagyu is really a descendant of the Senju clan, then his identity and status will be completely different from before.

At that time, he would not need to ask Ino to go to the Hyuga clan, he could go to the Hyuga clan to find Hinata himself.

In the past, when Yagyu went to find Hinata, he was like a toad wanting to eat swan meat and he didn't know his own worth.

If Yagyu, a descendant of the Senju clan, goes to find Hinata, they would be a perfect match, a golden boy and a jade girl, a match made in heaven!
In this ninja world that is still ruled by aristocratic lords, it is so hypocritical and feudal.

"Your speculation is very interesting, but unfortunately there is no evidence."

Yagyu smiled and said, "But I am very happy because my idol is the Second Hokage."

After finishing speaking, Yagyu slowly raised his index and middle fingers and said, "As a fellow Konoha ninja, please give me your guidance!"

"I firmly believe in my speculation. This is fate."

Hyuga Neji also raised his index and middle fingers, and said with a fighting look on his face: "Your defeat is also fate."

After completing the seal of opposition, Hyuga Neji immediately assumed the starting stance of the gentle fist.

But the next second, he and all the ninjas in the stands all had shocked expressions.

It was seen that Yagyu did not put down the index and middle fingers he had raised, but quickly changed his hand seals.

Seal with one hand!

Then, Yagyu took a deep breath, his cheeks puffed up, and shouted: "Water escape... Great waterfall technique!"

Just like opening a dam, Yagyu spit out a stream of water toward the ground, and then the moisture in the air gathered, causing the water flow to grow rapidly, rising like a surge, forming a huge water wall taller than the stands, and like the hand of the sea god, it slapped down towards the tiny Hyuga Neji.
