LRAB Chapter 65 Qingyu's Increased Byakugan Purity!
Chapter 65 Qingyu's Increased Byakugan Purity!
Upon hearing Qingyu mention that Kakashi was also creating his own ninjutsu, Hiruzen Sarutobi shifted his gaze from Qingyu to the silver-haired boy beside him.
"Are all young ninjas these days so innovative?"
Kakashi quickly shook his head, his voice behind the mask carrying a hint of embarrassment:
"I'm only at the initial stage, far from being able to directly engage in actual combat like Qingyu. The nature transformation of Lightning Release is too unstable, and it's easy to hurt yourself."
"There's no need to be modest. The fact that you're starting to try creating your own ninjutsu at this age already speaks volumes."
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head.
"Come on, let me see what you've got."
Kakashi's test was much more disciplined than Qingyu's.
He displayed the precision and speed of the Hatake-ryu swordsmanship very well, like a silver-white swimming fish.
Hiruzen Sarutobi deliberately refrained from using overwhelming power, instead lowering his own level to Chunin level to test Kakashi's adaptability.
After several rounds, Kakashi, though sweating and breathing slightly erratic, did not reveal a single obvious weakness.
"That's fine."
Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his hand to indicate the end of the assessment and put his Hokage robe back on.
"Given time, he will not lose to your father. He truly deserves to be White Fang's son."
Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up his pipe, took a puff, and glanced back and forth between Kiyoha and Kakashi, his eyes filled with undisguised satisfaction.
"Your class has truly opened my eyes."
The examiner solemnly handed the two ninja headbands to Kiyoyu and Kakashi respectively.
The metal headband felt heavy in Qingyu's palm, and it was somewhat cool to the touch.
He looked down at the metal plate on his headband engraved with the Leaf Village symbol, and fastened it to his forehead.
"Kiyoyu, Kakashi Hatake, from today onwards, you are both capable Konoha genin who can stand on your own."
The examiner flipped through the register, made a few notes, and then added:
"The photos for the ninja registration forms haven't been taken yet. Go and take some time to get them done. And your team members and the Jonin leading the team are......"
……
In the afternoon, Qingyu and Kakashi arrived at the gathering place as instructed by the examiner.
Upon seeing Qingyu and Kakashi arrive, Orochimaru looked in their direction.
"You're here."
Standing next to Orochimaru was a tall girl who looked several years older than Qingyu and Kakashi.
She wore the traditional white robe of the Hyuga clan, her long black hair hung down her back, and she had white eyes.
When she saw the two of them approaching, she pursed her lips slightly.
Although I've heard that these two are geniuses, they are far too young.
Hinata Ginka wasn't in a good mood at the thought of having to spend time with two little brats.
"Hyuga Ginka, a member of the Hyuga main family, graduated a few years earlier than you."
Orochimaru gave a brief introduction.
"From today onwards, she will be your teammate."
Hinata Ginka stepped forward, crossed her arms, and looked down at the two kids in front of her, who were shorter than her, with her white pupils.
"Although I don't know why Lord Orochimaru assigned me to this team, since we're already teammates, I'll say this first."
Her voice was very pleasant, but her tone of voice wasn't.
"You two are both recent graduates, so I hope you won't hold me back on the battlefield. I don't want to have to take care of others while I'm on the battlefield."
Looking at the Hyuga main family girl in front of him, whose face seemed to say "I am the strongest," Qingyu felt no particular emotion.
The Hyuga clan's position in Konoha is indeed somewhat subtle. While the Uchiha are arrogant, they at least let their strength speak for itself, whereas the arrogance of the Hyuga main family seems to be a sense of superiority ingrained in their bones.
If Hyuga Neji, a member of the branch family, can be so arrogant, the main family members would be even more so.
Hinata's shy and introverted personality makes the Hyuga main family seem quite approachable, but that's just a personal characteristic of Hinata and her sister Hanabi, not the general style of the main family.
Orochimaru watched with great interest for a moment, then clapped his hands.
"I hope this team has a harmonious atmosphere. Since it's your first time meeting today, how about a sparring match to see how each other's skills are? Whoever wins, I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight."
"I'll do it."
Kakashi was about to step forward when Qingyu reached out and stopped him.
Qingyu shook her head, refusing Kakashi's offer to steal her kill.
He's going to farm special traits.
"Let me do it."
Seeing this, Kakashi took a step back.
"You've got guts. Don't worry, I'll go easy on you since you're a newbie."
Qingyu took out the hilt of the Thunder God Sword from his ninja tool bag, poured chakra into the hilt, and the chakra light sword extended out from the hilt.
Hyuga Ginka frowned slightly as she looked at the chakra lightsaber that appeared out of nowhere, and lowered her arms that were crossed over her chest.
"Gentle Fist Technique: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"
Hyuga Ginka assumed the starting stance of Gentle Fist.
The next moment, the veins on Hinata Ginka's forehead bulged, her white pupils locked onto Kiyoyu, and she moved her feet, transforming into a white shadow as she rushed straight at him.
Qingyu watched her actions and understood why she was so arrogant.
Mastering the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms at such a young age is indeed considered exceptional talent within the Hyuga clan.
Compared to her, Hyuga Osamu, whose main branch only knew the Thirty-Two Palms technique, was a whole level below her.
Unfortunately, her opponent was herself.
Flames ignited on Qingyu's blade, extending backward along the sword and leaving a long trail of flame in the air.
He swung his sword, and the flames detached from the blade, transforming into a crescent-shaped slash.
Uchiha Style: Flame Light Slash!
Hyuga Ginka reacted quickly, dodging the attack and continuing her forward charge without stopping.
But Qingyu's second flaming slash followed immediately, cutting off her path of advance.
Then another seven or eight fiery slashes flew over.
"This guy's chakra..."
Hyuga Ginka's expression turned serious.
The ninjutsu used by Qingyu was clearly of a high level, and it did not require hand seals; he only needed to gather chakra in the sword to wield it.
The relentless fire slashes forced Hyuga Ginka to stop, channeling chakra into her palms and using the "Eight Trigrams Empty Palm" to disperse the flames in front of her.
The moment the flames exploded, Qingyu's figure emerged from the firelight and kicked her in the shoulder.
"!"
Hinata Ginka's heart tightened, and before she could react, she was sent flying to the side by the blow.
Her white clothes were covered in dust, and a few strands of her neatly tied-up long hair had come loose.
"I think you can speak properly now."
Kiyohara stated that while he might not be good at talking, he was also quite skilled in martial arts.
[Collectible trait detected: Hyuga main family]
[Rank C Trait: Hyuga Main Clan]
[Effect: Increases Byakugan purity by 60%; Byakugan will be unlocked when it reaches 100%.]
"oh?"
As Qingyu looked at the words that suddenly appeared, she felt a warm sensation welling up deep in her eyes.
The warmth lingered in my eyes for a few seconds before gradually subsiding and returning to silence.
He glanced at the requirements on the trait panel and realized he was still missing a little bit.
Collect one more trait from a member of the Hyuga clan, and that should be enough to unlock the Byakugan.
If Qingyu were to awaken the Byakugan, her survival skills in the wild would be greatly enhanced!
