Chapter 14: The Assessment Ends

Chapter 14: The Assessment Ends

Hizashi Hyuga, who had ended his Rotating Heaven, turned his head and glanced at the large crater blasted out by the Thunder Spear, then curled the corner of his mouth.

He took back his previous evaluation. What on earth is this thing? Yue Yan was still so young, yet he could use a ninjutsu of such power, and it seemed to be a self - created ninjutsu.

Having such a genius is a good thing. As long as he doesn't meet an untimely end, he will definitely be a mainstay of Konoha in the future. Therefore, Hizashi's eyes became full of expectation. After all, every teacher hopes to teach an outstanding student.

He walked up to Yue Yan and reached out to pull him up.

"Good job, kid. I almost couldn't hold my own."

Hearing the joking words full of smiles, Yue Yan smiled and didn't take it to heart.

As an elite ninja of the Hyuga clan, Hizashi couldn't be so weak. When fighting against Yue Yan, he always used Gitai. At most, he added a few Eight Trigrams Aiki Palm techniques, and he even held back. Moreover, he didn't use One - Hundred - Twenty - Eight Palms and other ninjutsu paired with the Byakugan at all.

Yue Yan wasn't discouraged by this defeat. The stronger Hizashi, his instructor, is, the better it is for him. At least, his safety is guaranteed.

Seeing that Yue Yan wasn't affected by this one - time defeat, Hizashi felt relieved. Then he used his Byakugan to check Yue Yan's injuries.

However, the next second, Hizashi's expression became solemn.

"Yue Yan, did you develop that ninjutsu just now by yourself?"

"Are you talking about the Thunder Spear, Teacher Hizashi? I did develop it, but I think I can still improve it."

"No, that's not it." Hizashi shook his head, and his voice became serious. "I'm talking about the technique where you use Lightning Bolt inside your body to stimulate your body and enhance your speed and strength."

"Oh, this one." Yue Yan scratched his head. "I..."

Before Yue Yan could finish speaking, Hizashi interrupted him. "Don't tell me you're fine. You can't deceive my Byakugan. Under my Byakugan's observation, while those Lightning Bolts enhance your physical fitness, they're also destroying your cells. This is a move that causes significant self - harm while achieving some results (a strategy where you cause damage to the enemy but also suffer considerable losses yourself). Unless it's absolutely necessary, I advise you not to use this move anymore."

Hearing this, Asuma and Hong, who had been shocked by Yue Yan's strength, also ran over and looked at Yue Yan with worried expressions.

After all, they had been friends for so many years. Although they were happy that Yue Yan had become stronger, they didn't want it to be at the expense of his body.

Feeling their concerned gazes, Yue Yan embarrassedly rubbed his nose and explained. "Well, my constitution is a bit special. I recover much faster than ordinary people. This kind of injury will heal on its own in no time. Besides, I know the Mystical Palm Technique, so it basically won't affect anything."

As if to make his words more convincing, Yue Yan used the self - healing ninjutsu to treat himself.

Right under Hizashi's surprised Byakugan, the injuries all over Yue Yan's body recovered in an extremely short time. Even the previous injuries were treated as well.

Gazing at the red tinge at the end of Yue Yan's hair and recalling what Hiashi Hyuga had mentioned, Hizashi Hyuga murmured to himself in a voice only he could hear.

"The Uzumaki Clan... No wonder he has such a huge amount of chakra and vitality. It seems I need to elevate my assessment of Yue Yan a bit further."

Thinking of this, Hizashi Hyuga stopped dwelling on it. He clapped his hands to draw the attention of the three young ones.

"From now on, Hizashi Hyuga's Squad has been officially established. To mark the occasion, I'll take you all out for a meal. After the meal, you'll embark on your official ninja careers."

In the Konoha Commercial Street, there was the most famous barbecue restaurant owned by the Akimichi Clan.

Yue Yan and the others were a bit tired from the previous battle. Coupled with the deliciousness of the barbecue itself, the three young ones were famished and gobbled up the barbecue like there was no tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Hizashi Hyuga, who was silently watching all this from the side, sipped his tea with a smile.

He didn't expect to have such excellent students in his first stint as a Team - Leading Jonin. It was really great.

When Hizashi Hyuga received the notice, he was initially quite troubled. After all, one student was the second son of the Third Hokage, another was the daughter of the Anbu's vice - minister, and the third was a boy who appeared to have limited combat power. But to Hizashi Hyuga's surprise, these three were unexpectedly obedient.

After they were full, Hizashi Hyuga got up to pay the bill.

Although Yue Yan ate to his heart's content this time, and the barbecue restaurant was quite expensive in Konoha, as a member of the Hyuga clan, this amount of money was nothing to Hizashi Hyuga. He didn't even blink an eye when paying.

This made Yue Yan can't help but let out a sigh, thinking that, as expected, ninjas from prominent clans were so high - handed in spending money. Even though Minato Namikaze was excellent, in terms of wealth, apart from the Uchiha Clan, perhaps only the Hyuga Clan was the richest.

On the way to the mission hall, Hizashi Hyuga found Yue Yan alone.

"Yue Yan, this Scroll records the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. Learn it when you go back tonight."

Yue Yan took the ninja scrolls in a daze. Why was he being given ninjutsu again? He thought that this kind of treatment of having various people give him [skills] was usually only for the main character. How come he also had it? Could it be that... he was also the main character.

Yue Yan's goofy side was acting up again.

Just as he was daydreaming, Hizashi Hyuga spoke again.

"You're different from Asuma and Hong. Your talent is the best I've ever seen. I hope you can make better use of it in your training. Although I'm from the Hyuga clan and can't teach you some of our clan - inherited ninjutsu, I can still help you with some common [Mondai]. So, after you learn the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, there's no need for you to waste time on these low - level [D - rank tasks]. And with your character, I believe you won't slack off."

Hizashi Hyuga didn't know the term "teach students in accordance with their aptitude", but it didn't stop him from understanding the principle.

Yue Yan had a good foundation and wasn't as impatient as Asuma. These boring [D - rank tasks] designed to temper Genin's character were completely unnecessary for Yue Yan.

The Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is a forbidden jutsu. First, ordinary people don't have enough chakra to create so many kage clones. Second, the memories that flow back after the clones dissipate are beyond what ordinary people can tolerate.

For those who are not from the Uzumaki and Senju clan, which have strong vitality, the Shadow Clone Technique is sufficient.

Since Yue Yan already knew the Shadow Clone Technique, it was quite easy for him to learn the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. He managed to master it in just one night.

When they gathered the next day, Yue Yan sent a kage clone to do those D - rank tasks with Asuma and Hong.

When Hizashi Hyuga saw Yue Yan's kage clone approaching, he just nodded and said nothing.

As for Yue Yan's main body, he practiced alone. At the same time, he also let the kage clones he created continue to learn medical knowledge and ninjutsu.
