Chapter 4 - Root Attack

Uchiha Kiyomi sat on a large rock, watching Hyuga Yomukage approach, her expression somewhat unnatural.

Her heart rate quickened slightly.

Her gaze darted around, constantly avoiding Hyuga Yomukage's eyes, which occasionally showed a desire to devour him—though where, only Kiyomi knew.

She hadn't expected Night Veil to be so powerful.

If she wasn't mistaken, Night Veil's attack just now was likely the famous martial art 'Baji Beng' from her previous life.

In her previous life, Kiyomi was the eldest daughter of a criminal syndicate.

Naturally, she had been exposed to a lot of martial arts knowledge.

And Night Veil was actually able to bring ancient Chinese martial arts from her previous life here. Thinking of this, Uchiha Kiyomi's delicate body trembled mysteriously. If one could describe it, her eyes would surely be heart-shaped at this moment.

"What are you smiling about?" Hyuga Yomukage frowned.

If this woman started smiling, it definitely meant trouble.

After all, in her previous life, whenever this guy smiled, it meant Night Veil had to turn in his homework.

Uchiha Kiyomi was slightly startled. She touched the side of her face, "Me? Am I smiling?"

Strange, she should be looking cool and aloof right now.

"Get out of the way, don't disturb my training."

As Hyuga Yomukage spoke, he reached out, grabbed Uchiha Kiyomi by the collar, and threw her out.

"Ow~"

Uchiha Kiyomi let out a delicate cry as she fell to the ground.

She looked back at Hyuga Yomukage standing on the rock, her eyes filled with some resentment, but deep down, a much stronger emotion was erupting.

Being thrown by Night Veil felt so good.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Kiyomi couldn't help but let the corners of her mouth curl upwards again.

Hyuga Yomukage was still thinking about the adage 'no women in the heart, the sword will naturally be divine,' but then he saw this crazy woman Kiyomi, who had clearly fallen to the ground.

Not only was she not angry, but she was smiling instead.

This bizarre sight made Night Veil's scalp tingle.

Oh no, Hyuga Yomukage was now certain that this Uchiha Kiyomi definitely had some issues.

And big ones at that.

Shaking his head, Hyuga Yomukage cleared his mind of distractions. It was better to get stronger first, at least stronger than this crazy woman, otherwise, in the future, he might forever be on the bottom, the passive one.

"Swish!"

Almost as soon as the thought crossed his mind, Hyuga Yomukage's fist, covered in deep blue-white Chakra, suddenly slammed into the rock beneath him.

His waist and horse were one, and his inch-force erupted.

"Bang!"

Instantly, a deep sound erupted in the jungle, and shattered rocks flew in all directions, filling the air with a cloud of dust.

!!!

This commotion undoubtedly attracted Neji's attention, who was currently training.

He looked towards Night Veil, his eyes trembling.

If he remembered correctly, that rock over there should have been over five meters tall, right?

What the hell did this bastard eat to grow up? His strength was getting stronger day by day.

As the dust gradually dissipated.

Two figures appeared before Neji.

Night Veil, moreover, was shielding Uchiha Kiyomi in his arms, though Hyuga Yomukage wasn't actually embracing Uchiha Kiyomi; he merely stood expressionlessly in front of her.

He glanced at the flushed Uchiha Kiyomi, and Night Veil frowned.

He knew that blush definitely wasn't from shyness.

"What are you doing? Why are you standing still? Do you want to die?"

Hyuga Yomukage's words were cold.

He lowered his protective arm, secretly sighing at how much his strength had increased.

Uchiha Kiyomi, however, didn't speak. She just reached out, her face showing a spoiled expression, as if she had melted, constantly trying to stick close to him.

However, faced with the adorable Uchiha Kiyomi, Hyuga Yomukage merely pushed her face away with a look of disdain, preventing her from moving any closer.

"Ni... Lord Yemu, I want... I want a hug..."

Uchiha Kiyomi was clearly flustered by Hyuga Yomukage's decisive protective action just now, and was on the verge of losing her sanity.

"You want an egg, don't you?"

Hyuga Yomukage pushed Uchiha Kiyomi away again, and after a brief greeting with Neji, he left the area.

No choice, today's training was over, it ended early.

The large rock was shattered by a single blow.

Moreover.

Hyuga Yomukage looked at the constantly popping up notification boxes in front of him, somewhat doubting if he would be overwhelmed by the extracted traits.

100 points for one extraction, a total of thousands of extractions.

It had almost turned Hyuga Yomukage into a comprehensive cheat.

He somewhat doubted if his body could truly withstand it.

Among them, several red traits were worth noting.

[Martial God Body (Red): You are a lucky person naturally favored by the martial way. When cultivating martial arts body techniques, your comprehension increases threefold, and it is extremely easy to develop new body techniques.]

[God of Ninjutsu (Red): Your talent for understanding Ninjutsu has reached the highest level, allowing you to easily learn and develop Ninjutsu.]

[Six Paths Aptitude (Red): Your talent is extremely high; barring any accidents, you will be able to cultivate to Six Paths level strength in the future.]

[Medical Master (Purple): You have awakened your Medical Ninjutsu talent. As long as there is still a breath left, you can attempt to provide treatment.]

...

Just as Hyuga Yomukage was examining these powerful traits and pondering how he should cultivate, a little tail was silently following him from behind.

"No, aren't you going home? Why are you following me?"

Hyuga Yomukage turned around helplessly.

He looked at a black-haired, straight-haired girl hiding behind a large tree, his expression speechless.

The girl had delicate features, and her black clothes seemed to blend into the night. She subtly poked her little head out, watching Night Veil's side, and her originally flawless skin was now covered with some dust.

"You... I'll go back with you."

Uchiha Kiyomi, seeing that she had been discovered, pushed aside the obstructing weeds and emerged from the grass, looking a little embarrassed.

Hyuga Yomukage raised an eyebrow, calming his emotions, "Go back together? What do you want to do?"

"Let me tell you first, you can't beat me now."

Hyuga Yomukage extended his fist, slowly approached Uchiha Kiyomi, and made a couple of gestures in front of her.

Uchiha Kiyomi, seeing this, shrank her small head, raised her eyes, and whispered, "Um, aren't you alone at home? I... I'll take care of you from now on."

???

Question marks appeared above Hyuga Yomukage's head, "No, how do you know I'm alone at home? Did you investigate me?"

Uchiha Kiyomi quickly shook her head and waved her hands, "I didn't investigate you. I don't even know what color underwear you're wearing today."

Ah?

Hyuga Yomukage's eyes trembled.

If this guy is human, I'll eat him directly.

Just as Hyuga Yomukage was lamenting that this woman must be crazy.

His eyes suddenly darted to the side, instantly becoming sharp.

"What's wrong?"

Uchiha Kiyomi had been watching Night Veil, so she naturally noticed his change in expression immediately.

"Someone is approaching this way, and there are two of them."

No sooner had Hyuga Yomukage's words fallen.

On the trees, shadows flickered, and two Ninja appeared under the Gekko. The long swords on their backs slowly unsheathed, shimmering with a silver light.

"Who are you?"

"I am from the Hyuga Clan!"

Hyuga Yomukage unconsciously stepped in front of Uchiha Kiyomi.

Watching Hyuga Yomukage activate his Byakugan, the two shadowy figures in the trees not only didn't stop, but became even more excited.

Buy one get one free, a sure profit.

"Swish!"

Almost at the moment Hyuga Yomukage's words fell, the two shadowy figures instantly vanished and appeared beside Hyuga Yomukage at an extremely terrifying speed.

Their long swords were aimed directly at Hyuga Yomukage's neck.
