The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

A huge pitcher plant slowly rose from behind the blond man.

"Yes. Although those eyes and the eye technique have never appeared in the ninja world before, based on all the intelligence analysis, it is most likely a ninja from Konoha."

The green pitcher plant leaves parted to the sides, revealing a man's head that was half black and half white.

"Send more spies to Konoha and find out their identities as soon as possible."

The blond man tilted his head slightly, revealing the purple Rinnegan in his eyes.

"Yes, Chief."

The pitcher plant began to close and sink, and soon disappeared.

-----------------

Inside a training field, a black-haired woman looked at the three students in front of her, her red eyes revealing a look of immense satisfaction. She was none other than Kurenai Yuhi, the instructor of Class 8.

In front of Kurenai were her three students: Hinata Hyuga, Shino Aburame, and Kiba Inuzuka.

Hinata and Kiba were both kneeling on the ground, panting heavily, while Shino, wearing sunglasses, remained calm, clearly still having energy to spare.

In preparation for the upcoming Chunin Selection Exams, Team 8 underwent a seven-day intensive training program under the guidance of Kurenai Yuhi, which concluded today.

"Alright, after this period of special training, you have all made considerable progress. There are still three days until the Chunin Selection Exams. I have said everything I needed to say. Whether you can be promoted to Chunin depends on your performance on the day. I hereby declare Team 8 temporarily disbanded."

After the three students had recovered some of their strength, Kurenai gave them some careful instructions, and then her gaze fell on Hinata.

"Hinata, go quickly, your clansmen have been waiting for some time."

Hinata blushed slightly, clearly understanding the teasing tone in Kurenai's words. She could only suppress her embarrassment, burying her head in her chest, and sprinted towards the entrance of the training ground.

"Is training finally over?"

Hyuga Zechen, who was lying on a big tree, immediately rolled over and landed when he heard the noise. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and carefully wiped away the remaining beads of sweat on Hinata's forehead.

"Brother Zechen..."

Feeling the warmth from the other person's palm, Hinata slightly raised her face and, in coordination with the gentle movement, revealed an expression of immense joy.

"Hinata, aren't you going to introduce her?"

An untimely voice rang out from not far away, and a small white dog's tooth perched on its head swaggered over, shattering the warmth between the two.

"This is Brother Zechen."

Hinata blushed, turned around, first pointed to Hyuga Sawatatsu beside her, and then introduced them separately.

"This is my teammate from Team 8, Kiba Inuzuka, and his ninja dog Akamaru."

Hinata Zechen's gaze swept over Kiba's face, and after nodding in acknowledgment, he turned his attention to Shino, who was standing to the side with a very low profile.

"This is Shino, and also my comrade."

Following Hinata Zechen's gaze, Hinata realized that she had neglected Shino, and hurriedly spoke apologetically.

Shino, who was used to being ignored, waved his hand, indicating that Hinata didn't need to take it to heart, and focused most of his attention on Hyuga Sawatatsu.

As a member of the Konoha ninja clan, Shino had already learned some information about Hyuga Sawatatsu from his elders, and knew that he was very likely to become the champion of this Chunin Exam.

"I want to challenge you."

Compared to the calm and collected Shino, Kiba Inuzuka's personality is very similar to Naruto's; he issues a challenge without any regard for the situation.

"tooth……"

Just as Shino was about to speak up to stop them, he saw Hinata Sawatatsu and Inuzuka Kiba exchange a glance, then waved to Shino, pulled Hinata away, and turned to leave.

"Tooth-to-teeth!"

With a low shout, Kiba Inuzuka and the ninja dog above him unleashed their signature taijutsu, transforming into two high-speed spinning tornadoes that shot out towards a training dummy on the training field.

They only exchanged a glance before he cast an illusion on Ya?

Almost instantly, Shino made a judgment and hurriedly chased after the direction of Kiba's attack.

-----------------

“Brother Zechen, Ya is my companion, he meant no harm…”

On a secluded path, Hinata kept touching her index fingers together as she began to explain.

"I know, I just didn't want him to interrupt our date, so I cast a small illusion that only lasts for five minutes."

Upon hearing the word "date," Hinata's small ears twitched twice, and a blush spread from her earlobes all the way down her fair neck.

"Hehe, look what I found, two pairs of pure white eyes."

Just then, a tall figure slowly rose from the ground. It was a brown-haired man with a very fierce appearance, carrying a huge scroll on his back.

The moment the opponent appeared, white chakra materialized on its body, surging forth with unprecedented pressure.

Chapter 31 Jiraiya

Sensing the chakra fluctuations emanating from the other party that far surpassed those of Kakuzu and Sasori, Hyuga Zechen's body tensed instantly, and he immediately shielded Hinata behind him.

"Who are you...?"

Hinata Zechen had barely uttered three words when he felt a blur before his eyes, and his opponent appeared in front of him as if by teleportation, his fist, as big as a casserole dish, slamming down on his lower abdomen.

That's terrifying speed!

Hinata Zechen was startled again. Considering that dodging might injure Hinata behind him, he had no choice but to slash downwards with his right palm, forming a hand-blade shape and slashing straight down at Hinata's wrist.

The opponent reacted much more quickly, and what appeared to be a full-force attack turned into a hand blade that snapped upwards, with the two palms colliding together without any pretense.

Bang!

The ground within a radius of several feet instantly collapsed several inches. Hyuga Zechen felt half of his forearm go numb from the impact, clearly suffering a minor loss in this collision.

It was only then that Hinata realized that the two of them had been attacked in the village. She quickly pushed off with her feet and leaped backward, being very cautious and not rashly engaging in the battle.

Father once said that Hyuga Zetsu's strength was in no way inferior to his own, the strongest member of the Hyuga clan. If even Hyuga Zetsu couldn't defeat his opponent, a rash attack would only leave Hyuga Zetsu unable to defend himself.

The only solution is to call for backup immediately.

Hinata, who had made up her mind in an instant, glanced at the two who had already begun their intense taijutsu battle, her face full of worry. She then leaped into the nearby woods and ran wildly towards the bustling center of Konoha Village.

Bang bang bang!

Every time there was a clash between taijutsu users, Hyuga Zechen would feel an irresistible force coming from the point of contact. In addition to slowly retreating and trying to deflect the force into the ground, even the gaps in his ninjutsu were completely blocked.

Roll your eyes, open!

After successfully withstanding several physical attacks, Hyuga Zechen felt excruciating pain in his arms. He seized the opportunity to activate his Byakugan, and the veins around his eyes bulged.

It turned out to be him!

After activating his Byakugan, Hinata Zechen immediately saw through the opponent's transformation jutsu disguise and recognized the opponent's true identity.

Seeing the large scroll on his back, you should have guessed it immediately.

Seeing the strange look in Hyuga Zechen's eyes, the attacker immediately realized that Hyuga Zechen had seen through his transformation technique.

However, we haven't achieved our goal yet, so we can't let him expose us so easily.

The attacker suddenly leaped back a foot, crossed his fingers to form a hand seal, and his short hair on his head instantly grew longer, binding Hyuga Zechen tightly in one fell swoop. The speed was so fast that there was no room for him to dodge.

Although he stands out among the younger generation in the village, surpassing the members of the Akatsuki would likely be...

The moment the attacker had this thought in mind, Hyuga Sawatatsu, whose body was being tightened by the long hair, instantly turned into clear water, which flowed all over the ground.

Is it a water clone?

The once soft and supple long hair instantly became incredibly stiff, and with a shake, it shot out like thousands of needles, heading towards a tree not far away.

Hinata Zechen, who had just emerged from under the tree, felt that the opponent's attacks were as continuous as flowing water. In the blink of an eye, dozens of hair needles had already arrived in front of him like shadows.

Water Escape·Water Rush Wave!

Hinata Sawatatsu pushed his palms forward, then clasped them together. A large amount of clear water gushed from the ground, forming a huge waterspout several meters high that swept up the incoming hairpins.

The next moment, the enormous waterspout collapsed forward, transforming into a powerful waterfall that crashed down.

The attackers reacted just as quickly, even unleashing a torrent of orange flames from their mouths without forming any hand seals, desperately resisting the spread of the water.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!

Hinata Sawatatsu formed hand seals again, and clear water surged up from the ground behind the attacker, then meandered upwards, transforming into a giant water dragon that opened its jaws to bite at the attacker.

Without even turning around, the attacker sidestepped and rolled a distance of ten feet on the ground, perfectly avoiding the surging water dragon from behind.

Hmm, these kids these days are surprisingly strong. It seems the old man has really helped the village recover a lot of its vitality over the years.

However, such strength is probably not enough to defeat a member of the Akatsuki organization.

It seems I'll have to show some real skill!

The attacker, who was crouching on the ground, was about to form hand seals again when he suddenly stopped. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of several figures rushing towards him.

It seems this probing attempt has to end here.

Running at the forefront were Asuma Sarutobi, an elite Jonin from Konoha, and Kurenai Yuhi, who had just left the training ground. Behind them were two members of the Hyuga branch family and three unfamiliar Chunin from Konoha.

"Brother Zechen, are you alright?"

Hinata, who was at the very back of the group, looked at the traces of ninjutsu left on the ground, her pretty face turned slightly pale, and she couldn't help but shout.

"You're not a ninja from the village, are you? Perhaps you're here to participate in the Chunin Exams? Ninja who attacked Konoha without cause, surrender immediately."

Asuma, with half a cigarette dangling from his mouth, sized up the attackers, but couldn't find any ninja headbands on them. He then waved his hand, ordering the ninjas behind him to spread out and block the attackers' escape route, before speaking in a deep voice.

"Oh, it's Asuma! You've grown so much! And Kurenai, you've become quite a beautiful woman!"

Facing the group of Konoha ninja behind him, the attacker remained calm and even had the leisure to look them up and down before speaking.

"Since you recognize us, does that mean you used to be a ninja from the village?"

Asuma clearly sensed the flirtatious tone in the other person's words, and his gaze immediately sharpened.

"Asuma, this is Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin. He's deliberately disguising himself like this, perhaps to play a joke on me."

Just as Asuma's hands trembled, each gripping a uniquely shaped chakra dagger, Hyuga Zetsu's words immediately caused everyone to look on in astonishment.

"Haha, I didn't expect that after all these years away from the village, I would still be recognized at a glance by such an outstanding younger generation?"

Amidst a loud laugh and rising smoke, the attacker immediately canceled the transformation spell, revealing their true form.
