Konoha: Becoming a God Starting with Aburame

Chapter 304 Shiichi visits the Hyuga clan

"I'm so sorry to have kept Shiki-kun waiting."

Soon, the Hyuga clan leader, Hiashi Hyuga, arrived at the entrance of the clan compound. Seeing Shiichi, who had been waiting for a long time, he bowed slightly and said apologetically:

"Welcome to Hyuga, Shiichi-kun. Please follow me and let the Hyuga clan show us their hospitality."

Shiichi nodded slightly and followed in Hyuga Hiashi's footsteps.

The Hyuga clan holds a unique position within Konoha. The Hyuga clan compound is like a village within a village, with its own set of operating rules, and the village has almost no say in the internal affairs of the Hyuga clan compound.

Even when Shiichi wanted to enter the Hyuga clan to see his former teammate Hyuga Yo, he was stopped at the entrance of the Hyuga clan's territory. Only after the Hyuga clan discussed and agreed could he enter the clan's territory.

"The Hyuga clan members are truly dedicated and do their jobs strictly according to the Hyuga clan's operating system. They can't even announce their arrival to Hyuga Hikaru without orders."

Zhiyi gave a praising sound and said something meaningful.

"I just came to see my former teammates, I didn't expect it to be so troublesome. When I go to the Hokage's office to see the Hokage, it doesn't even take this long."

Hiashi Hyuga calmly replied, "These are rules passed down from the Sengoku period. That era was dangerous and chaotic, filled with war everywhere. One wrong move and even the Hyuga clan could be wiped out, so naturally all the security measures were more complicated."

Hiashi Hyuga adopted a humble attitude because the Hyuga clan was under great pressure and did not want to provoke someone whose strength and power were at the top of Konoha.

Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious.

Just think about how the Uchiha were targeted and driven to the brink of madness by the Konoha F4, and you'll see just the tip of the iceberg.

Moreover, thanks to the excellent performance of the Guyver Armor, the value of the Hyuga clan has decreased significantly. They rely entirely on the Byakugan's ability to see through things on the battlefield to maintain their status, and they can no longer speak with any authority in Konoha.

The Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist technique is almost impossible to successfully strike pressure points against enemies wearing Guyver armor. The penetrating force and chakra are blocked by the spatial barriers created inside the Guyver armor, making it impossible to affect the ninja inside.

This situation greatly reduced the strength of the Hyuga clan and made their already limited attack methods even more limited!

Take Hyuga Neji, a genius of the Hyuga clan, for example. His rigorous training, combined with his exceptional talent, made him stronger than Hyuga Hiashi, who was his contemporary!

With this level of strength, he should be more than qualified to be the top student at the Ninja Academy, and he should be able to completely dominate the others.

However, in order to enable students to fight better and safer, the Ninja Academy equipped all students with Augmentation Armor.

Then, all restrictions will be lifted to allow students to fight freely, in order to simulate a more realistic battle.

Anyway, with the protection of the bio-armor, there shouldn't be any problems.

Then, Neji Hyuga was completely dumbfounded.

Why doesn't the Gentle Fist technique work?

Why can't I apply pressure to acupoints?

Why did I fail to press the acupoints even after more than ten attempts?

My hands are all swollen!

Although Hyuga Neji still won the top spot, the process was arduous, and he didn't use Gentle Fist, but relied on his own hard power.

This is a really bad situation!

It would have been better not to win.

Doesn't this mean that Hyuga's Gentle Fist is about to be phased out?

Hiashi Hyuga sighed softly, banishing the strange thoughts from his mind and suppressing the odd feeling that was rising in his heart.

Fortunately, the Guyver Armor belonged to Konoha, not the enemy, so the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist technique was still effective against them. Otherwise, the Hyuga might have truly become a clan that relied on the Byakugan for support.

Hiashi Hyuga led Shiichi to his room, sat cross-legged, poured a cup of tea for each of them, and looking at Shiichi's calm demeanor, remarked:

"It's truly enviable that the Aburame clan can produce a genius like Shizuru. If the Hyuga clan could produce a genius like Shizuru, I would even be willing to relinquish my position as clan leader."

Hiashi Hyuga was indeed filled with emotion.

Now, the Aburame clan has replaced the Sarutobi and Shimura clans, secretly becoming the dominant force at the top of Konoha's food chain, enjoying the sustenance of the entire village, and their clan strength has increased explosively!

I'm afraid it won't be long before another Sarutobi clan member appears!

I envy you, but I won't say it.

"There's no such thing as a genius. I just used the time others spent playing on research."

Zhiyi spoke modestly.

That's indeed the case, but of course, the most important thing is that he has cheat codes!

Hiashi Hyuga remained noncommittal about Shiichi's words. Hard work is certainly useful. But if one only has hard work without talent, it's likely that Shiichi would have found it difficult to achieve his current success.

"I wonder what brings you to the Hyuga clan this time, Shiitsu-kun?"

"Nothing much, I just had a sudden urge to see my former teammates. Sorry to bother Chief Rizu."

Zhiyi took a small sip of tea and said casually.

Hmm, this tea is quite good. The Hyuga clan does have some heritage.

"By the way, would Hinata Hiyori be willing to join the training department to assist me with my research?"

"The research on the Guyver Armor could be further improved with the assistance of the Byakugan."

Shiichi's casual words startled Hiashi Hyuga, causing him to nearly spill his tea.

Ask Hinata if he would like to join the training department.

Of course I'd like to!

This is like a windfall!

Many people want to join the training department, but none have succeeded.

Because Shiichi possessed the core technology and relied on the Root members left behind by Danzo, he firmly controlled the training department, and no one else could get involved.

Everyone could only squeeze into the No. 3 training base and compete for profits with almost all the clans in Konoha.

Too curly!

It's practically Konoha's death zone!

Now the Hyuga clan has an opportunity to enter the training department and skip the training department's base number three.

Really good!

"Shiki-kun, I've already sent someone to inform Hinata Haru, and he'll be here soon. I'm sure Haru will be very happy to hear about this."

Hiashi Hyuga was somewhat agitated, but he still tried his best to maintain his composure.

The rise of the Uchiha clan and the fates of the Sarutobi and Shimura clans gradually put the Hyuga clan at a disadvantage in the competition. They were no longer the prestigious top clan of Konoha!

In competition, accumulating advantages leads to greater advantages, and the same is true for disadvantages; accumulating disadvantages leads to greater disadvantages!

Hiashi Hyuga has been deeply worried about this.

Until Zhiyi arrived.

Also, because Hinata is Shiitsu's teammate, he usually takes good care of him and shields him from a lot of trouble.

Now the reward is here!
