Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 26 Hyuga Kiyoshi

White patterns were carved in the sky, transforming into countless falling flowers.

Jin reached out and caught a drifting snowflake.

"It's snowing."

The ground was covered with a layer of white snow.

Although he simply changed his short-sleeved shirt for a long-sleeved one and his shorts for trousers, he didn't feel cold.

One of the great benefits of basic internal strength training is that it makes one immune to both cold and heat.

Walking down the street, my gaze swept over the ninjas. Although their clothes were rather thin, their abilities were honed through training and had nothing to do with chakra.

Ninja academies train students from the very beginning to withstand heat and cold, and they get used to all kinds of hardships from a young age, so they can naturally endure them.

There is also training in enduring pain.

We went to the same old spot.

The dilapidated and abandoned training ground was now covered in snow.

Only one wooden stake was visible above the ground.

I saw a figure hitting a wooden stake as if venting his anger.

"Hyuga Kiyoshi!" Gin called out.

Dressed in white, Hyuga Kiyoshi did not turn around immediately, but instead put on his headband before turning around.

"Kin," Hinata Kiyoshi greeted, "I thought none of you would come."

During his time as a ninja, he was the only one who consistently came here to train.

It's been a long time since we've seen the three members of the Uchiha clan.

Jin walked over and shrugged.

"We're doing those childish tasks."

They cared for the elderly, looked after children, carried goods, planted rice, and harvested wheat.

For him, it was just playing house.

Hinata Kiyoshi's smile became somewhat forced upon hearing this.

He had done some simple, playful tasks with his teammates, something he longed for.

pity.

As if completely oblivious to Hyuga Kiyoshi's odd behavior, Kin asked, "Where are your teammates?"

He was asleep at the time and didn't know who Hyuga Kiyoshi's teammates were.

Hinata Kiyoshi fell silent, looking down at the snow covering the ground beneath his feet, as if he too were buried beneath it.

Isn't that how the Hyuga family is? The branch family is like corpses buried in the ground.

He suddenly looked up at Jin.

"Uchiha Kin, fight me."

"bump!"

With a loud crash, Hyuga Kiyoshi's body slammed into the wooden stake.

The stake then broke, and he lay on the ground.

Looking at the snowflakes falling all around him, he suddenly burst into laughter, and his laughter grew louder and louder.

"Hehehehehehehe!!!"

Tears streamed down her face from laughing.

The physical pain was nothing compared to the pain in his heart.

"What a huge difference! You monster!"

Before he could even react, he was defeated with a single blow.

"I don't agree with your statement."

Jin stood on the ground, looking down at him as if he were an insurmountable mountain.

Uchiha.

It's truly terrifying.

"I have no interest in prying into the dirty business of your Hyuga clan, but if you like being a punching bag, I'd be happy to oblige."

Just by looking at Hyuga Kiyoshi's state, you can tell that it's because of that little trouble with the Hyuga clan.

Every year, one Hyuga member of the Ninja Academy suffers an emotional breakdown. Most of them are people who have just been planted with the Caged Bird Seal and gradually become silent and withdrawn.

It's rare for someone like Hinata Kiyoshi to break down right after graduation.

After all, he had repeated two years.

Jin was used to it.

"I see."

Hinata Kiyoshi, who was a little tired from laughing, suddenly asked a question.

"Kin, you're a genius at creating ninjutsu, aren't you?"

"So what?"

"Can you develop the ninjutsu to release the caged bird?"

Jin didn't reply, but instead looked up at the sky.

Hinata Kiyoshi was also watching, and at the same time began to recount his own experiences.

"At first, I didn't really care about things like caged birds. I just thought that as long as I stayed away from the main family, I could be free."

"But I didn't expect that even if I thought that way, I still couldn't escape."

"During the genin class assignments, my uncle took me away and I became the bodyguard of Hyuga Hiashi, a member of the main branch of the clan. In reality, I was his personal servant."

"My uncle also told me to thank the family for their great kindness! Hahaha! Isn't that interesting?"

Hinata Kiyoshi's face turned ferocious.

"My parents died for the Hyuga main family members. Am I destined to suffer the same fate?"

"Why?!"

Because he was a member of a branch family, he had to risk his entire family's lives to protect the main family.

His parents have already sacrificed for this.

Isn't that enough?

Jin looked down at Hyuga Kiyoshi, whose face was filled with hatred.

Just how deep is the hatred hidden within the Hyuga clan?

What if one day the Caged Bird Technique disappears?

What will happen?

That sounds like something really interesting.

A smile curled at the corners of Jin's mouth.

"Value, what value can you give me?"

Hyuga Kiyoshi suddenly stared blankly at Uchiha Kin, who was just venting his frustrations by seeking someone to talk to.

But things don't seem to be that simple.

"you can."

Hinata Kiyoshi wanted to ask if the other person could really do it, but he had heard of the other person's name in the clan.

The creator of fundamental internal skills.

It's said that many people are now frantically grinding for merit points just to exchange for that ninjutsu.

He also knew about the four martial arts techniques created by the other party.

Various titles were bestowed upon the other party.

A hidden genius, a hardworking genius, a genius comparable to the Second Hokage.

Too many titles.

What if...?

Can the other party really accomplish everything the family dreams of when they split up?

Hinata Kiyoshi quickly got up, knelt on the snow, and slammed his head heavily on the ground with a thud.

A touch of scarlet appeared on the snow.

"Hyuga Kiyoyuki is willing to give everything for Lord Kim!"

He was willing to risk everything, and no family member could resist the temptation to untie the caged bird.

"No, there's no rush now." Jin shook his head, a hint of malice in his smile.

"When I actually do it, I hope you won't go back on your word."

Hopefully, the Hyuga clan can bear it.

Jin sat on a relatively intact wooden stake.

Watching Hinata Kiyoshi's departing figure.

He was confident that he could untie the caged bird.

After all, he's someone with a golden touch; how could he possibly be stumped by a caged bird?

However, a caged bird carries its soul with it, so it's not something that can be easily dealt with.

"It's difficult to do that for the time being."

Jin glanced at the deduction method for resolving the "bird in the cage" problem.

After changing bodies, the seal will be broken by using a technique to unseal the body.

What's the difference between this and sending someone to their death?

"Jin, what are you thinking about?"

At this moment, Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze finally arrived late.

"I just saw Hinata Kiyoshi, and he didn't seem to be in a good mood."

Kim responded nonchalantly.

"Hyuga Kiyoshi, it's been so long since I've seen him." Minato Namikaze looked at the blurry figure in the distance.

As a member of the ninja squad, you often see them while doing missions.

Only Hyuga Kiyoshi has not appeared.

It seems to be due to internal problems within the Hyuga clan.

Minato Namikaze was unaware of the Caged Bird incident.

Not everyone knows about this.

"Next time I run into him, I must ask him what he's been up to."

Kushina was also unaware of the Hyuga clan's affairs; such matters were generally only circulated among ninja clans.

"I hope so."

Jin looked at the two of them; they were both dressed simply in casual clothes, not in bulky attire, and had been wearing the same set of clothes for an entire year.

That's outrageous.

"What are you planning to teach us today?" Kushina asked with great interest.

Jin rolled his eyes.

"I'm planning to teach Minato. If you can learn it, we can learn together."

"Who would want to learn your stuff?"

Kushina snorted, made a face at Gin, and pushed Minato Namikaze forward.

Minato Namikaze gave an awkward laugh.

"By the way, Minato, what's the name of the technique you created?" Jin suddenly asked, his expression changing.

Minato Namikaze gets all excited when this is mentioned.

"Dancing Gale: Rapid Wind Howl! Four Styles! Pretty cool name, huh?"

gold:.

Kushina:.

"What kind of weird name is that?!"

Kushina's face was full of rejection. Why did she have to give him such a long name?

She doesn't understand.

Jin rolled his eyes.

"Don't call me that anymore, or I'm afraid you'll get beaten to death before you can finish speaking."

Minato Namikaze awkwardly scratched his face; he clearly felt fine.

"From now on, let's call it the Forward Slash."

"But this name doesn't quite fit."

Minato Namikaze wanted to refuse, but the name "Zhan" seemed to be associated with swordsmanship.

He felt it wasn't as good as the name he chose himself.

"It matches the name of the technique I'm going to teach you."

Jin said meaningfully.

He took out a kunai from his ninja tool pouch.

"Let me let you experience it first."

"I couldn't have gotten it."

Minato Namikaze also took out a kunai.

The two figures collided the next moment, sparks flying as the kunai clashed.

Kushina was already sitting in the tree watching the two fight.

Gold and Minato Namikaze passed each other, a wisp of wind swirling around them.

Minato Namikaze frowned, sensing that some of his chakra had decreased.

The two collided again the next moment.

With a "clang," the two quickly separated again.

Minato Namikaze saw a gust of wind rise from the golden body, and his chakra had decreased significantly.

"What a bizarre ninjutsu."

"Keep an eye on Minato."

Jin gripped the kunai in both hands and slashed at Minato Namikaze from top to bottom.

"Steel-Cutting Flash!!"

A blue wind blade appeared out of thin air.

With a mournful cry, it arrived in an instant.

Minato Namikaze's pupils widened; he had no idea what was happening.

He immediately used the forward slash, putting all his strength into flying with the wind.

A blue wind blade swept past.

All that could be heard was a continuous hissing sound.

Minato Namikaze looked back.

A path was cut through the woods behind them.

"A ninjutsu specially created for you to compensate for your lack of offensive power."

Jin grinned.

The principle is that the chakra absorption technique is first sealed on a kunai, and then absorbed when it collides with an enemy.

Then, he used the chakra within his body to transform it into wind to communicate with the chakra in the kunai.

The wind pressure, consisting of an outer and inner layer, remains stable, but it needs to be released quickly, otherwise the chakra inside the kunai will dissipate.

Its power depends on the level of mastery one has over the technique, which can increase its maximum potential power.

The Golden Finger is forever a god.

Although the creation time was less than ten seconds, he spent an entire night mastering it.

"So strong!"

Minato Namikaze was amazed.
