Chapter 45: Hinata Natsu's First Encounter with Kushina

It can only be said that the branch family was cursed with a "bird in a cage" spell, resulting in some advanced jujitsu techniques being exclusively permitted by the main family, which is quite abstract.

Neji Hyuga used the "Eight Trigrams Palm: Rotation" during the Chunin Exams, which amazed Hiashi Hyuga in the audience, making him wonder if Neji had the blood of the Hyuga Tennin.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud exploded in the arena as Hyuga Natsu's palm struck the target hard. But the next instant, white smoke dissipated, revealing a piece of broken wood.

"A substitution technique?!"

Hinata Natsumi paused for a moment, her hand still in a striking posture, her eyes searching for Kiyoshi's figure.

"I won."

Kiyoshi's voice came from beside Hinata Natsu, and he patted Hinata Natsu's shoulder.

"Kiyoshi-kun, you're much faster than me."

Hinata Xia dropped her soft fist stance.

The so-called "substitution technique" is actually a disruptive technique that involves quickly finding a piece of wood to replace the body, making the opponent think that the surprise attack has been successful.

It is usually a magic trick that requires the performer to be faster than the recipient.

"I used a clever trick to break through your defenses."

Kiyoshi shook his head.

Hinata Natsu's Gentle Fist technique can currently only cover a fan-shaped area in front of her body; although it is visible behind her, it cannot reach that area.

Furthermore, due to the limitations of the "Caged Bird Seal," it also has a blind spot on its back.

"You have learned the entry: [Dark Walker (White)]".

[Entry: Dark Walker (White)]

[Requirement: Defeat Hinata Natsumi as a child.]

Progress: (Completed)

[Effect: Your eyes can see more details in the dark than normal people and react to changes in surrounding objects.]

[Note: Further advanced levels are available.]

The sound from the entry panel brought a slight joy to Qing Si's heart.

It seems that even targeting the weak will be included in the entry.

It's a pity that he doesn't know many people yet, and going to challenge them rashly would be a provocation.

After the prompts for the entry ended, Kiyoshi felt a sense of clarity in his eyes. The somewhat dark evening became much brighter under his gaze.

Kiyoshi was quite satisfied with this entry.

It is estimated that there will be an increase after the Sharingan is awakened, because the perception will increase.

The Sharingan has many functions, but it does not have the ability to see at night.

With the [Dark Walker (White)], Kiyoshi will actually have a home-field advantage at night.

"Then I'll be going now."

Hinata Natsuki picked up the gift box and said goodbye to Kiyoshi.

As he was leaving, Kiyoshi suddenly spoke:

"Does a trapped bird truly wish to remain forever in a cage, a caged bird?"

"This... is to protect the Hyuga clan, to protect everyone in the clan."

Hinata Natsu subconsciously touched her left cheek, which had been slapped by Hinata Ginka, and lowered her eyes slightly.

The moment the words left her mouth, she reached out and gently touched her left cheek; the burning sensation from the blow still lingered on her delicate skin.

Hyuga Ginka's grip wasn't particularly strong, but the chakra that seeped in unintentionally made the pain exceptionally clear.

After practicing Gentle Fist techniques extensively, the chakra points in the hands will adapt to the chakra, making it easier for it to surge forth.

Most of the main family members are easy to talk to, but there are still some like Hinata Ginka.

She never hid her disdain for the division of the family property, nor did she shy away from those methods that carried a reprimanding tone.

Kiyoshi did not respond immediately. He looked up at the darkening sky in the distance, a cold wind gently brushing against his hair.

"I see. If it were my bird, it would probably still long to soar freely in the air again and try to peck open the cage door with its beak."

After he finished speaking, he shook his head slightly, as if he had just said it casually, or as if he hadn't expected her response at all.

If Kiyoshi had been born into the Hyuga clan, he would definitely have tried every means to remove the "Caged Bird Seal," as he would not want to be born into a branch family where he is inherently inferior.

"Soaring through the air again?"

Hinata Natsumi was stunned. She turned around and looked up at Kiyoshi.

Kiyoshi Uchiha's long robe accentuated his slender figure, revealing the well-defined muscles on his chest.

Her loose black hair reached her waist, and the strands swayed slightly in the wind, making her look much taller than her peers.

Perhaps because of the training, his face has matured a bit and he looks quite rugged.

This side of Kiyoshi made Hinata Natsu feel that he was much more mature than his peers.

He was neither like those thin peers, nor like the pure brutes of the Thunder Kingdom that one might imagine.

"Soaring through the air again?"

Hinata Natsu repeated it in a low voice, a barely perceptible tremor in her lowered gaze.

It was a scenario she had never dared to imagine; it was too distant and too extravagant.

She tried to purse her lips, adjusted the position of the gift box, and finally said simply:

"What Kiyoshi said is quite interesting."

After saying that, she bowed politely and turned to walk away.

As Qing Si watched her depart, a barely perceptible smile curved his lips.

A caged bird may not dare to spread its wings for a while, but once a seed is planted, it will eventually sprout.

The Hyuga family split up, but they never showed any sign of accepting their fate.

However, the "Caged Bird Seal" forces many people to suppress their true feelings and show respect.

Attitude is the mask of the heart.

Kiyoshi's current goal is simply to plant a seed in Hinata Natsu's heart, not to win her over right now.

The current Kiyoshi doesn't know how to undo the curse seal, so even if he offered a pie in the sky, he couldn't do it.

Hinata Natsumi is going to look alright in the future; it's worth considering as an early investment.

With that thought in mind, Kiyoshi turned and started walking home.

If he continues to acquire more entries like this, his Sharingan will become very powerful even if it doesn't evolve.

One day, we might even see an entry that ignores the side effects of kaleidoscopes.

In this way, Kiyoshi could use a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan without having to transplant Hashirama cells or clone them for his own use.

"Thinking about these things is too far ahead."

Kiyoshi then turned his attention to another matter.

That is, after graduating early, will he be assigned to a three-person team, or will he directly enter the Uchiha Police Department and gloriously take up his post as a village security guard?

Or perhaps a medical ninja from Konoha Hospital?

"Why hasn't the broken streetlight from yesterday been fixed yet?"

A muffled, grumbling sound came from the dimly lit alley.

This is a rather narrow street.

"Hey, can you even see where you're going? You're walking so fast!"

The red-haired woman, using the dim light, surveyed Kiyoshi in the pitch-black night.

This is the light emanating from a well-functioning street lamp in the distance.

"visible."

Kiyoshi looked back, surprised.

The red-haired woman had a hair clip pinned to her hair.

The upper body was a white coat with a swirling clan emblem tattooed on the shoulders, and the lower body was a short chainmail-like shorts that revealed smooth thighs, which, when paired with long boots at the calves, created a unique style.

She looks very youthful and beautiful.
