Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

Renya stood up, stretched, woke Nara Honya, and the two left the school together.

"Renya-kun, thank goodness you woke me up in time, otherwise I would have overslept," Nara Honya said, still shaken.

The last time his parents found out why he came home late, it turned out he had overslept at school.

So, he got a severe beating from his parents...

"It's a small problem," Lian Ye waved her hand dismissively.

Nara Honya's personality suited him well, so the two had a fairly good relationship.

Just then, the two heard two familiar voices coming from the alley.

"You think you're so great at pretending, huh?"

"We've finally caught them!"

Lian Ye's expression was strange. "These two guys actually cornered someone?"

He recognized the voices of Uchiha Rin and Uchiha Hiko.

"Renya-kun, who are they blocking?" Nara Honya asked with curiosity.

Both of them are quite good in the class, ranking in the upper-middle range.

I wonder who provoked these two?

"It should be Hinata Yuuki," Renya said uncertainly.

He had overheard the two of them discussing how to corner the "pretentious king" in an alley and beat him up...

"Hyuga Yuuki?" Nara Honya's eyes gleamed. "This is going to be interesting."

The two looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.

So, I lowered my pace and quietly approached the corner.

Uchiha Rin and Uchiha Hiko surrounded Hyuga Yuuki.

Despite being surrounded by the two, Hyuga Yuuki showed no fear.

He launched the first attack, pushing his palm forward, and an invisible chakra shockwave struck Uchiha Hiroshi's chest.

The latter was sent flying backward, smashing a wine jar at the end of the alley and falling into a coma.

He knocked him unconscious with just one move.

Of course, this was also related to the fact that Uchiha Hiko was caught off guard and took the hit squarely.

Neither of them had much combat experience and did not expect the other to suddenly attack.

"Damn it, they actually launched a sneak attack!"

Seeing his companion unconscious, Uchiha Rin roared and launched an attack.

Hyuga Yuuki's expression remained unchanged. He lightly touched the ground with his feet and nimbly dodged the attack. At the same time, he bent his fingers into a palm and instantly unleashed a Bagua Palm strike.

Rin Uchiha reacted extremely quickly, dodging the attack by sidestepping and throwing a backhand punch straight at his face.

Hyuga Yuuki's pupils contracted slightly, the patterns of his Byakugan became clearly visible, and pale blue chakra gathered in his palm as his attacks grew faster and faster.

Under this onslaught, Uchiha Rin was forced to retreat step by step, and was finally knocked unconscious by a Gentle Fist that struck her pressure point, causing her to fall to the ground.

Before he lost consciousness, only one thought remained in his mind: "How can this guy be so strong?!"

Renya and Naramoto stared in shock, not expecting that Hyuga Yuuki could end the battle so decisively.

At that moment, Hinata Yuuki slowly turned around and looked towards the alley entrance.

"How much longer are you going to keep watching?"

Chapter Twenty-Six: Breaking Through Defenses

Upon hearing this, Renya and Nara exchanged a glance and then stepped forward.

The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan possesses X-ray vision and a near 360° field of view.

After Hyuga Yuuki activated his Byakugan, he naturally discovered the two people hiding in the shadows.

"Hello, Hinata Yuuki," Renya greeted.

“What a coincidence to meet you here,” Nara Honya chimed in.

Hyuga Yuuki rolled his eyes at the two of them: "You two want to ambush me too?"

Upon hearing this, Nara Honya quickly shook his head, "No, no..."

He had just witnessed Hyuga Yuuki easily defeat Uchiha Hiko and Uchiha Rin.

This guy is terrifyingly strong, he's practically a monster!

If a real fight breaks out, his fate will be dire.

Lian Ye was intrigued and eager to try.

He really wanted to spar with Hyuga Yuuki and see who was stronger.

Hyuga Yuuki has shown great strength; without a direct confrontation, it's impossible to know who is stronger...

Lianye ultimately gave up on the idea.

There's still a long way to go, and the two will always have opportunities to hone their skills.

He's not a warmonger, so there's no need for him to deliberately invite trouble.

"You've misunderstood, we were just passing by," Lian Ye explained.

Seeing that the two meant no harm, Hyuga Yuuki closed his Byakugan.

Renya stared curiously into his eyes and asked, "Yuuki-kun, at what age do the Byakugan of your Hyuga clan usually awaken?"

He didn't know much about this kind of thing, which is why he asked.

Nara Honya followed suit, equally curious about the question.

Hinata Yuuki looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression, not understanding why they were asking this question.

Although puzzled, he explained, "The age at which one's eyes open varies from person to person, but it is usually between ten and twelve years old."

Lian Ye understood. The Hyuga and Uchiha were similar; with a few exceptions, they all awakened their Sharingan in their teens.

Wait a minute, Renya suddenly realized something and looked at Hinata Yuuki with surprise. This guy seems to be an exception...

"Yushu-kun, how old are you?" Lianye asked.

"Six years old."

Lian Ye: "..."

Goodness, he's a year younger than me.

"Yuki-kun, you are really strong. You opened your eyes at the age of six!" Nara Honya was also greatly shocked.

Is this the world of genius?

Hinata Yuuki didn't react to this; he had heard similar things far too often.

Moreover, Naramoto was wrong; he didn't open his eyes at six, but at five!

Renya stared intently at Hinata Yuuki, a look of confusion on her face.

This guy is so talented, why haven't I heard of him?

He knew about Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, and Kagami Uchiha, but he had never heard of Yuuki Hyuga.

Hyuga Yuuki's talent is no less than that of Hiruzen Sarutobi and others.

He quickly realized that there was only one truth!

That is, Hinata Yuuki died before he could fully grow up...

This made Lian Ye sigh; indeed, only those geniuses who truly grow up are geniuses!

Those whose efforts were thwarted or faded into obscurity do not count.

Lian Ye clenched her fists, determined to cultivate diligently.

His goal of becoming stronger has never changed—to have the ability to protect himself in the ninja world.

Hyuga Yuuki noticed that Renya's condition was not right and asked, "Uchiha Renya... are you alright?"

Upon hearing this, Lian Ye waved her hand, indicating that she was alright.

Hyuga Yuuki thought Renya was discouraged by his talent, so he comforted her, saying, "Don't be envious. If you train hard, you can do it too."

Lianye: "???"

He finally understood why Rin and Hikaru Uchiha had been blocking his way...

So fucking pretentious!

Hinata Yuuki walked up to Renya and stopped. "I'll wait for you to catch up with me."

After saying that, he left.

Renya stood there, staring blankly at Hinata Yuuki's figure as he walked away until he disappeared from sight, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

Those words kept repeating in my mind.

I'm waiting for you to catch up with my footsteps...footsteps...steps...

After a while, Lian Ye's face grew increasingly flushed as she thought about it, and she completely lost her composure.

This guy is definitely a master of showing off!

If Hinata Hiroki were still here, he would definitely launch an attack without hesitation and give the "King of Cool" a good beating!

"Renya-kun, are you alright?" Nara asked cautiously.

This was the first time he had ever seen Lian Ye so angry.

"I'm fine, I'm really fine!"

Seeing Renya's murderous expression, Nara Hon also fell silent.

You call this nothing?

However, he wisely refrained from asking further questions, though he secretly felt a bit smug.

It seems I'm not the only one who's been defeated by the monster...

He was one of the top geniuses in the Nara clan, and his strength reached the level of a genin at the young age of six.

He thought that with his talent, he could become a top student at the ninja academy.

As a result, on his second day of school, he was defeated by Hinata Hiroki in two moves.

Moreover, there are quite a few students in the class who are better than him.

Nara Honya became completely ashamed.

He then realized the difference between ordinary geniuses and extraordinary prodigies...

Lianye's roar pulled him back to reality.

"I'm so angry! She's such a faker! She's such a faker!"

Nara Motoya: "..."

Didn't you just say everything was fine?

Why are you angry again?

Lianye was seething with anger. He hadn't expected that Hinata Yuuki's two sentences would break his defenses.

Lianye vowed in her heart that she must get her revenge.

Isn't it just showing off?

He will too!

Even years later, whenever Lian Ye thought of those two sentences, she still couldn't let go of them...
