Early in the morning, after spending a restless night tossing and turning, Satoru Hyūga climbed out of bed.

"After all, it was my first time killing someone."

Satoru Hyūga let out a sigh.

Since transmigrating for such a long time, last night was the first time he had insomnia. The tragic scenes of those deaths of the several Iwa ninjas he fought against yesterday still seemed vivid in his mind.

After all, having received modern education, it would take him some time to come to terms with the cruel reality of the ninja world.

Shaking his head, he dismissed the distracting thoughts from his mind.

"This isn't the time to think about such things."

The Third Shinobi World War, the caged bird—these were all like ferocious beasts with gaping maws hot on his heels. He had to improve his strength as soon as possible.

After having breakfast, just as Satoru Hyūga was about to start his cultivation, he heard someone knocking on the door.

Opening the door, it was Hiiragi Hyūga.

"Uncle Hiiragi, what's the matter?"

"The clan head is looking for you."

"Oh, I'll tidy up and go right away."

On the way, looking at Satoru Hyūga's thin and small figure, Hiiragi Hyūga's eyes showed complicated emotions.

During this period, the name of Satoru Hyūga, the genius, had gradually spread within the Hyūga clan. But he knew very well that for the branch family, being a genius was a curse.

If it were an ordinary member of the branch family, they could live out their lives like that and it wouldn't be too painful. But if it were a genius, making them accept that kind of powerlessness and numbness was the real torture.

Satoru Hyūga didn't know what Hiiragi Hyūga was thinking. He was just thinking about what the clan head wanted him for.

The door of the main hall was pushed open. Satoru Hyūga saw the old man sitting cross-legged on the tatami cushion again, and the young man standing next to him, Hiashi Hyūga.

"Hiiragi, you can leave."

"Yes." After bowing to the old man, Hiiragi Hyūga silently left the main hall.

"Clan head." Satoru Hyūga bowed slightly.

The old man opened his half-closed eyes a crack, and his gaze, carrying pressure, pressed down on Satoru Hyūga in the middle of the main hall.

"I heard that you've been getting very close to the Uchiha clan members and that she even sponsored you with ninja tools for cultivation?"

"We're just companions. We're in the same team, so it's natural for us to be close." Satoru Hyūga said neither overbearingly nor humbly.

"Alright." The old man shook his head. "I don't care if you chose to be in the same team because you were already close, or if you got close because you're in the same team. I just want you to understand that the cultivation of the Hyūga clan's ninjas doesn't require the sponsorship of members from other clans."

"Do you know that this is related to the honor of the Hyūga clan?"

The old man's gaze was like an invisible knife, pressing down on Satoru Hyūga.

Satoru Hyūga didn't say a word.

The old man changed the topic, and his tone suddenly became a bit gentler.

"I understand that it's difficult for your savings to support the consumption of cultivation. Well, from now on, you can receive an additional 10,000 ryo from the Hyūga clan's treasury every month. Consider it the clan's support for your cultivation."

What a classic 'carrot and stick' tactic, Satoru Hyūga scoffed inwardly. First, suppress and intimidate him, and then offer some perks to win him over. This clan head had maxed out his skills in using people.

In fact, he isn't in particularly short supply of funds now. The bounty for the just completed B-rank mission is enough for him to use for a long time.

"Thank you, Clan Head."

Satoru Hyūga thanked with respect. Anyway, he still had to do a good job in the superficial formalities.

"En." Mizuki Hyūga nodded. "I know you've never been serious about cultivating the Silent Fist. But I still hope you can take it seriously. This is the secret cultivation method of Huitian (Rotating Heaven). You go back and ponder over it for three days. Bring it back here immediately three days later. Remember, don't spread it to anyone."

Satoru Hyūga caught the Scroll thrown by the old man and was quite surprised.

Huitian (Rotating Heaven) is one of the main family's secret inheritances. Generally, the branch family can only understand it on their own and doesn't have the qualification to cultivate it. In a sense, Mizuki Hyūga's behavior has already broken the rules.

"Thank you, Clan Head." Satoru Hyūga feigned delight and thanked the old man.

"En, you can go back."

After Satoru Hyūga's figure disappeared from the main hall, Hiashi Hyūga beside Mizuki Hyūga asked in confusion, "Clan Head, why did you reward him with the cultivation method of Huitian (Rotating Heaven)?"

The old man raised his head slightly, and a hint of profundity suddenly appeared in his turbid eyes. "Hiashi, do you know that the Hokage came to see me yesterday?"

"The Hokage came to see you?" Hiashi Hyūga looked surprised.

"En." The old man nodded.

"You know our Hyūga clan's situation is special. Even if the Hokage wishes to mobilize branch family ninjas, he has to obtain the main family's consent. I originally thought the Hokage wanted an Jonin from the branch family, but unexpectedly, it's actually this Genin."

"What does the Hokage want him for? He's just a Genin. Even with double Kekkei Genkai, he won't be able to play much of a role, right?" Hiashi Hyūga was puzzled.

The old man shook his head. "I'm not sure. It's probably related to an Anbu ninja mission."

"It seems the Hokage values him highly!"

"En. After all, he's the first ninja with double Kekkei Genkai in the history of Konoha. Whether the Hokage wants to train him or reuse him, the branch family's first loyalty is to the main family. We just go along with the situation."

Hiashi Hyūga nodded slightly.

After returning, Satoru Hyūga began to flip through the cultivation notes of Huitian (Rotating Heaven). In the Hyūga clan, usually only the main family has the qualification to cultivate Huitian (Rotating Heaven), while the branch family can only rely on their own understanding.

In the original work, Neji Hyūga was regarded as a genius because he grasped Huitian (Rotating Heaven) during his Genin days.

Since Satoru Hyūga didn't attach much importance to the cultivation of the Silent Fist system, he didn't delve into the cultivation method of Huitian (Rotating Heaven). Now he's making up for this deficiency.

Shibi Aburame gave a seven-day rest period. Today is the second day. Satoru Hyūga thought for a while and figured that the time was about right for him to develop new abilities using Huitian (Rotating Heaven).

The cultivation principle of Huitian (Rotating Heaven) is not complicated. It's to instantly release chakra from all the acupoints in the body and then spin at high speed like a top to form a hemispherical chakra shield.

The difficulties lie in the technique of chakra eruption and the control of high-speed rotation.

The formed Huitian (Rotating Heaven) has the ability to repel attacks and is hailed as the absolute defense within the Hyūga clan.

But this ability obviously doesn't meet Satoru Hyūga's requirements. He tried to combine Huitian (Rotating Heaven) with the Electromagnetic Force.

After several days of delving into it, he gradually developed several new ways to use Huitian (Rotating Heaven).

While using Huitian (Rotating Heaven), he constructs a repulsive force with the Electromagnetic Force, greatly enhancing his defensive ability. Metal objects will be repelled by the repulsive force even before they come into contact, similar to an all-round Shinra Tensei.

Similarly, by constructing gravitational force, he can transform himself into a human-shaped meat grinder.

Or, in combination with metal ninja tools like ninja swords, he can use Huitian (Rotating Heaven) while manipulating the ninja sword, creating a Meat Grinder Version 2.0. The enemy tries to run, but due to the influence of gravity, they can only be devoured by the high-speed rotating blade.

Satoru Hyūga named these three special versions of Huitian (Rotating Heaven) as follows: Huitian - Yin, Huitian - Yang, and Huitian - Sword Dance.

Regarding the construction of electromagnetic repulsive force and gravitational force, for now, Satoru Hyūga's influence on non-metallic objects is still limited. However, if the enemy has metal objects on them, the impact will be greatly enhanced.

At level 2 of the Electromagnetic Force, the upper limit of the ability is quite evident. However, Satoru Hyūga's current experience points have reached [3289/6000], and he is not far from level 3.
