Naruto Online: Hyuga Branch Family? Let's go all out!

Chapter 67 First, calculate Ning Yuan

Ning Yuan guessed correctly; Hiruzen Sarutobi was indeed spying on him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi first heard the name Hyuga Neon from his teacher at the Ninja Academy. His self-introduction was very unique and memorable.

But that's about it; at best, he's just a talkative kid.

Afterwards, Kakashi challenged Hyuga Neon, who refused, citing his branch family background and lack of experience with Gentle Fist.

This reason is quite valid; the Hyuga branch family can only learn the first thirty-two techniques of Gentle Fist: Baguazhang, which is usually taught by the father to the children.

Hyuga Neon's father was still at the front lines, so of course he couldn't teach him.

Everything is still normal here.

What happened next was quite magical.

Hinata Neon actually won over Yuhi Kurenai at school and was even invited to Yuhi Shinku's house!

Then, surprisingly, Yuhi Shinku even accepted this son-in-law!

He also has a good talent for illusion magic!

It's already surprising that the Hyuga clan's ninjas have genjutsu talent, but the surprises don't stop there!

He actually wants to study medicine!

Hiruzen Sarutobi only wanted to win over his loyal subordinates, so he agreed to Yuhi Shinku's request. Moreover, in his opinion, Hyuga Neon, who was proficient in genjutsu, should no longer be skilled in medical ninjutsu.

Who knew that Hyuga Neon was actually a genius in medical ninjutsu!

Not only is his Yang Release attribute naturally powerful, but his thinking is also very flexible. He has only been learning medical ninjutsu for a day, yet he has already made great contributions to Konoha Hospital!

Upon arriving here, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally couldn't sit still any longer.

It's barely acceptable for a Hyuga clan genjutsu genius, because it doesn't change anything.

No matter how powerful one's genjutsu is, there are still the Uchiha and Kurama clans above them. Even if Hyuga Ningyuan goes far in genjutsu, he will still be ranked behind these two major clans.

But medical ninjutsu is different.

According to Sarutobi Biwako's assessment, Hyuga Neon has the potential to surpass Tsunade!

Moreover, this potential is not a low probability, but a high probability.

Because of his chakra and healing abilities, even before learning Healing Palm Technique, his healing abilities were comparable to those of a medical ninja who had learned it. It's hard to imagine what the scene would be like after learning Healing Palm Technique.

What's even more terrifying is that he's only five years old!

His chakra will become stronger over time, with age and physical growth!

Medical ninjas are naturally easy to win over other ninjas, and if this medical ninja surpasses Tsunade in skill, he also has a powerful family backing him.

A person like that is a much greater threat than Tsunade, who has no family backing!

Don't spout nonsense about him being from a branch family. You're not Hyuga, so how do you know the Hyuga clan won't change its rules because of Hyuga Neon's rise to power?

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi is only 42 years old, he is no longer the spirited and courageous hero who dared to fight to cover the rear.

Having served as Hokage for over a decade, he had long since become enamored with the allure of power. Thus, he stood by and watched as Danzo murdered Dan and Nawaki, and ordered Orochimaru to be transferred to the Root organization, a place shrouded in darkness and where his morality was easily compromised.

Jiraiya and Tsunade were easier to deal with. Tsunade suffered from hemophobia, which made normal medical treatment impossible, so she had to step down from her post.

Jiraiya disappeared for three years without explanation after World War II. Although he wasn't branded a rogue ninja, he couldn't escape the label of being irresponsible.

Now, the only problem left in the village is Sakumo Hatake, and Hiruzen Sarutobi is already researching ways to deal with him.

To my utter surprise, another Hinata Neon suddenly appeared.

In the past, Hyuga Neon would have been easy to deal with; Danzo could have simply gone to the Hyuga clan and taken him away.

But now that Hyuga Neon has become Sarutobi Biwako's apprentice, things are getting complicated.

Sending his own wife's disciple to Danzo as a subordinate—isn't that just giving in to Danzo?

If Danzo uses Hyuga Neon's identity to cause trouble, it will be very troublesome.

However, Hyuga Neon's talent cannot be ignored, otherwise he really will surpass Tsunade.

So the question is, how do we handle this?

Killing him is out of the question, but handing him over to Danzo is also unacceptable.

Then there is only one option.

Hiruzen Sarutobi devised a plan to deal with his disciple Orochimaru.

Do you admire geniuses and enjoy research?

Then I'll hand over the subject that even the Second Hokage couldn't figure out to you. If the Second Hokage couldn't solve it, it's enough to waste more than ten years of your time, Orochimaru, right?

Hinata Neon is still young and hasn't shown any particular hobbies yet, but being young has its advantages.

It's simply that their thinking is simple and they are easy to guide.

Then I'll let you learn swordsmanship!

What? Does that mean Hiruzen Sarutobi isn't afraid that Hyuga Neon is a swordsmanship genius?

He's really not afraid.

Because the upper limit of swordsmanship is visible to the naked eye; even the samurai of the Land of Iron can only reach the level of an elite Jonin at best.

Elite Jonin, what threat could that pose?

What, you mean Sakumo Hatake?

First, Sakumo Hatake's swordsmanship is actually ninja swordsmanship, which combines lightning release with swordsmanship. The chakra of the Hyuga clan is not suitable for training elemental ninjutsu.

This was the conclusion reached by the Second Generation Researcher, and Hiruzen Sarutobi had great faith in the Second Generation Researcher's judgment.

Secondly, Sakumo Hatake himself was a genius in swordsmanship and ninjutsu. The Hatake clan was also a family with a long tradition of swordsmanship. Growing up in such an environment, combined with his own talent, made him the Sakumo Hatake he is today.

His achievements were inseparable from these three conditions, and Hiruzen Sarutobi did not believe that Hyuga Ningen could become the second Sakumo Hatake.

He had no idea that Hyuga Ningyuan had already mastered the Lightning Blade and taught it to Minato. If he had known, he would have immediately taken back his words.

Even if they knew that, swordsmanship would still be the best option to hold Hyuga Neon back.

After all, ninjas don't have many options: taijutsu, swordsmanship, genjutsu, ninjutsu, medical ninjutsu, sealing techniques, barrier techniques, etc.

Taijutsu is the most suitable technique for the Hyuga clan, so of course it cannot be taught.

Hyuga Ningyuan is already learning illusion techniques, and he is very talented at it.

The Hyuga clan cannot learn ninjutsu; teaching it would be too obvious.

The sealing technique might allow Hyuga Neon to break free of the Caged Bird Seal. If it's some branch family member, that would be a good thing, as we could watch the Hyuga clan fight amongst themselves.

However, Hyuga Ningyuan's talent was too strong, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was afraid that the Hyuga main family, consisting of only a few people, could not defeat him.

Barrier techniques are related to the safety of Konoha, and his use of the crystal ball for spying is something that absolutely cannot be taught.

"Sigh, a genius!" Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned. It's really hard to outsmart a genius!

As a disciple of the Second Hokage, and having taken on another disciple, Orochimaru, Hiruzen Sarutobi truly understood the terror of geniuses.

Any problem can be overcome by the terrifying talent of a genius.

For example, the Second Hokage, in order to fight against the Uchiha clan, forcibly mastered his Water Release into Ocean Release, giving the Senju clan, who were not good at genjutsu, an A-rank genjutsu: Nightwalking Technique!

Then there's Orochimaru. He wasn't good at taijutsu, so he did body modification. He wasn't good at medical ninjutsu, so he created the Orochimaru Substitution Technique. He could even make a mess of a simple earth clone.

Fortunately, no matter how much swordsmanship develops, it will remain the same.

The Konoha-ryu swordsmanship was passed down as early as the Second Hokage's time, and the most outstanding one now is only the A-rank Phantom Sword created by Marukawa Kosuke.

Even if Hyuga Neon is incredibly talented, how can he develop a technique with such a low potential?

"Knock knock knock"

Just as I was pondering this, there was a knock on the door.
