"It's this tent."
Tetsu asked for directions from everyone he met along the way and finally found this place.
He looked at the tent, hesitating whether to barge in. After all, he had no proof that Natsu was inside.
Rushing in rashly might offend Kiyoshi, and he wouldn't have any justification.
With this in mind, Tetsu called out, "Kiyoshi , are you there?"
Tetsu called out several times, but there was no response. He only heard faint, suppressed sounds.
"Tell him you're busy."
Kiyoshi said calmly.
Natsu frowned, and upon hearing this, she said to the outside, "Tetsu, Kiyoshi ...is teaching me ninjutsu...I'm busy."
Hearing Natsu's voice from outside, Tetsu felt relieved.
He hadn't come in vain, Natsu was here. But the next moment, Tetsu sensed that something was wrong.
"Natsu, are you very tired?"
Tetsu didn't dare to go in directly, so he could only ask from a distance.
In the first few days of the war, the clan leader had already told them to pay attention to their relationship with the Uchiha.
If he clashes with Kiyoshi , who has recently become famous as a genius, there might be trouble.
"No...no."
Even through the tent, Natsu seemed to force a smile to hide her guilty conscience.
Unfortunately, Tetsu couldn't see it, he could only hear Natsu's voice.
"Tetsu, go back...first, I have something to do here."
Natsu was panting so hard that it was difficult to say a complete sentence.
Water Release ninjutsu was ultimately not something the Hyuga clan was good at.
When a ninja's chakra reserves are greatly depleted, their physical strength also decreases.
Therefore, ninjas need to pay attention to their remaining physical strength when practicing ninjutsu, to avoid overwork.
"Natsu, are you really okay?"
Tetsu had a bad feeling in his heart. The veins on his forehead gradually bulged.
The space inside the tent wasn't big, what kind of ninjutsu could they be teaching?
This made him very puzzled and uneasy.
Kiyoshi inside the tent sensed the fluctuations of chakra from the outside.
When ninjas use chakra, there is a kind of fluctuation.
Therefore, powerful sensory ninjas can even sense things thousands or even tens of thousands of miles away.
For example, Tobirama, after being resurrected by Edo Tensei in Konoha, could sense the chakra fluctuations on the Fourth Great Ninja War.
"Byakugan?"
Kiyoshi shook his head.
Using the Byakugan would of course consume chakra, and it was also easy to be sensed as spying.
This was also why the Hyuga clan wouldn't randomly activate their Byakugan in the village.
Otherwise, if they saw the secrets of someone's clan's secret ninjutsu, it would lead to an irreconcilable conflict once exposed.
"Open!"
Tetsu thought for a moment, and still chose to activate the Byakugan, to see with his own eyes what was happening inside.
"Can't see?"
Hyuga Tetsu's eyes widened.
He couldn't see anything?
He only felt that there was a layer of hazy gray mist inside, blocking it off.
"Sealing barrier..."
Tetsu reacted, it must be that Kiyoshi had set up a sealing barrier outside the tent in advance.
This instantly dispelled another thought in his mind, which was to barge in.
A sealing barrier wasn't something that could be easily intruded upon.
"Natsu, how long will you be?" Tetsu asked through the tent.
He could see two handprints pressed out.
Tetsu suspected that this was one of the nodes of the sealing barrier.
"Soon." Natsu replied.
Seeing this, Tetsu had no choice but to continue standing in place and waiting.
Anyway, it was good as long as Natsu was okay.
As for Kiyoshi and Natsu being alone?
This was a base camp, there were people everywhere, what could Kiyoshi do?
Natsu could make Kiyoshi disgraced with just a shout. So, Tetsu suppressed the discomfort in his heart and folded his arms.
...
The sun in the sky gradually set, dyed with a layer of rosy red.
Kiyoshi covered his eyes and sat on the side. His eyes were twitching constantly.
His pupil power was rapidly increasing, and had already gone from more than half the way to the top.
"Three-Tomoe Sharingan..."
Suddenly, a black tomoe squeezed out from between the two tomoes.
His left eye turned into a Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
'The pupil power has increased once again.'
Kiyoshi could feel that his body was constantly strengthening under the nurturing of the pupil power.
The vitality of every cell in his muscles became more vigorous, and his mental energy also received a lot of improvement.
Kiyoshi quietly comprehended the changes in his body.
Natsu, whose eyes were vacant and whose focus was scattered, gradually began to regain focus.
Watching Natsu stand up, Kiyoshi's scarlet eyes turned black.
The boost from the pupil power is a gradual process, and it will take some time for it to end.
Kiyoshi said, "Your childhood sweetheart treats you well."
Natsu in front of Kiyoshi slowly took off the black blindfold wrapped around her eyes.
She asked, "Kiyoshi-kun, have you... forgiven Ginka-sama?"
"Of course, I'm not that kind of petty person."
Kiyoshi smiled lightly, staring at Natsu carefully putting the black blindfold on the table.
"Regarding the Caged Bird Curse Seal on your forehead, continue to work for me, and I will help you undo it."
Kiyoshi didn't forget to give a carrot after hitting Natsu with a stick.
This is the way to control people.
Sure enough, Natsu, who had fatigue hidden in her eyes, instantly became much more energetic.
"But I want your Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist." Kiyoshi said.
Gentle Fist Art is actually a simplified version of Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack.
After researching it, Kiyoshi will have a better understanding of how chakra runs in the chakra pathway system.
Natsu frowned upon hearing this.
Privately transmitting Gentle Fist was a serious crime.
Once Kiyoshi exposes the training method of Gentle Fist outside, the Hyuga clan will inevitably investigate internal spies.
"I'm not discussing this with you." Kiyoshi's tone became a little colder.
"Kiyoshi-kun, can you give me some time?" Natsu pleaded.
Now, she was not only physically hurt, but her heart was also hurting, it was a mess.
"Then I'll wait for your reply."
Responding to Natsu was still Kiyoshi's unhurried tone.
He wasn't in a hurry to get Gentle Fist at all. Now that his pupil power had increased sharply, his control over Mōryō's power would inevitably be further strengthened.
And how long could Natsu hold on to her psychological defense line?
Kiyoshi had already broken the hardest layer.
Natsu pursed her lips and went out with a tired body.
Tetsu, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately excitedly yelled.
"Natsu!"
Tetsu quickly walked a few steps forward.
Taking advantage of the moment Natsu lifted the curtain, Tetsu saw the simple furnishings in the room.
But on the ground, there seemed to be water stains from tea.
This made Tetsu wonder if Natsu and Kiyoshi had a conflict.
"Tetsu."
Natsu showed a smile.
"Kiyoshi didn't do anything to you, did he?" Tetsu asked.
At this moment, Natsu's dark green short hair was tightly attached to her face, and her plain face looked particularly beautiful.
