Neji didn't care about the crystal ball telescope in the Third Hokage's hands. The Third Hokage wouldn't make such a naive mistake.
If he really used that telescope to spy on the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hiashi definitely wouldn't stand idly by.
"Huff~"
Neji let out a soft breath. With the help of the Byakugan, Neji's hands gradually gathered a large amount of Gentle Fist Chakra, which, after a change in form, turned into two fierce lion heads.
The Hyuga family's secret, advanced taijutsu technique taught only to the Main Family: Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists!
Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists: Gentle Fist combined with a change in Chakra form. With the aid of the Byakugan, the hands gather a large amount of Gentle Fist Chakra, forming two fierce lion heads with immense power.
This was the reward Neji received for training with Hinata!
This technique will fail if there is even a slight error in Chakra control, making it an extremely difficult taijutsu to learn.
He never imagined that he would learn such a powerful taijutsu technique.
Neji was very satisfied and comfortably lay down on the bed.
Even without mastering Chakra form changes, he actually learned the Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists.
"If this keeps up, my strength should be close to that of a regular Jonin before the Chunin Exams."
"But I can't compare to Jonin in terms of combat experience and reaction speed. As expected, I still have to accumulate it slowly myself!"
The next morning, Neji came to the training ground and found Hinata already waiting there.
"This little girl's desire to improve is pretty good."
Hinata's physical condition was really a bit poor. To give Hinata some ability to protect herself, Neji planned to give Hinata special training.
Although it was early in the morning, the training ground was already full of people.
"The world of ninjas is indeed cruel," Neji thought to himself.
"Neji, why did we come to the training ground so early?" Hinata asked.
Perhaps because Neji had guided her yesterday, Hinata was no longer as afraid of Neji as before, but she was still shy.
"Running," Neji said mildly.
"Ah? Running?" Hinata was surprised.
"Your stamina isn't good. If you want to improve, running every morning is the most effective and simplest way."
After speaking, Neji ignored Hinata and started running around the training ground.
Hinata hesitated for a moment, then immediately followed Neji.
The two, one the Hyuga clan's genius, the other the Main family's young miss, immediately attracted a lot of attention.
"Neji and Lady Hinata are indeed working hard. We should also put in more effort."
"Good luck, Neji! Lady Hinata!"
Neji slightly turned his head to look at Hinata. Sure enough, her face was red again.
"The host accompanied Hinata Hyuga on a morning run, and received the reward [Lightning Release Chakra]."
Lightning Release Chakra?
Looking at it this way, he had now gathered all seven Chakra natures except for Yin and Yang.
Now, even in terms of Ninjutsu, he was a genius.
Hinata and Neji spent the whole morning running around the training ground. Neji was fine, but Hinata was already exhausted.
"Don't relax. As long as you train with perseverance, your strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds!" Neji said.
Hearing Neji's words, Hinata smiled shyly.
Gurulu~ Gurulu~
While the two were resting, a discordant sound suddenly rang out.
Hinata immediately shyly hugged her stomach, her face as red as if it were about to drip water.
"Hey, I've been training with you all morning. You should at least treat me to a bowl of ramen, right?" Neji stood up and glanced into the distance.
Hinata raised her head, looking at Neji blankly with a red face. After a long while, she gently nodded.
"Neji is so sweet..."
Arriving at Ichiraku Ramen, Neji said to Teuchi: "Uncle, two bowls of your signature ramen."
"Alright!" Teuchi responded happily.
After they finished eating, he paid and left with Hinata.
"The host treated Hinata to a meal and received the reward [Spiritual Power increased by 10%]."
Spiritual power, which is the ability to resist genjutsu. The stronger the spiritual power, the harder it is to fall under genjutsu.
"Neji..."
Turning his head to look at Hinata, Neji showed a smile for the first time: "What? Are you only going to eat with me this one time?"
Hinata quickly waved her hands: "No, that's not it."
"Then that's settled. You'll treat me next time," Neji said with a smile.
"Okay~" Hinata replied with her head lowered.
Glancing at Hinata next to him, shy and hesitant, she was really cute.
"Hinata, it's been a long time since we've gone shopping together, right?"
Hinata was slightly startled and lowered her head: "Yeah."
In fact, ever since Hyuga Hizashi's incident, Hyuga Neji and Hinata Hyuga hadn't talked much.
"How about it? Want to go for a walk?"
"Go, shopping with Neji..." Hinata looked at Neji with a blushing face and nodded as if possessed.
On the street, Hinata and Neji walked quietly, both feeling very comfortable.
Looking at Hinata, who was deeply attracted by a doll-shaped pendant, Neji sighed inwardly.
As expected, she's still a little girl, and gets attracted to cute trinkets when walking around.
Taking a deep look at the doll pendant, Neji continued to enjoy the quiet atmosphere of the two of them.
"The host went shopping with Hinata Hyuga and received the reward [Physical Fitness increased by 10%]."
Physical fitness, which means building a good foundation for yourself. So, the rewards given by the system are all useful.
...
Hyuga clan compound
"Hinata, here, this is for you." Neji took out the doll pendant from his arms.
"This is..." Hinata's eyes widened as she looked at the pendant in disbelief.
"Well, I saw that you liked it, so I bought it without you noticing, as a gift for us getting back together," Neji said casually.
"No, no, Father said that I can't just accept things from other people," Hinata said quickly, her face flushing red.
"What? Don't you want to reconcile with me?"
"That's not what I mean..." Seeing Neji looking a bit disappointed, Hinata said anxiously.
"Then just accept it."
Hinata hesitated for a moment, then shyly took the doll pendant from Neji's hand.
"Yeah, that's right." Neji patted Hinata's head.
"The host performed a head pat on Hinata Hyuga and received the reward [Palm Sage Art]."
Palm Sage Art: A healing technique used by medical ninjas. It has an astonishing recovery speed for both internal and external injuries. It can also interfere with the Chakra circulation in other people's bodies, a super-advanced Ninjutsu with great destructive power to their bodies.
The intimate gesture made Hinata's eyes sparkle, and she was about to turn into a steam princess.
Neji sighed and withdrew his hand.
Palm Sage Art, even within the medical team, only a very few people can use it. It can provide treatment or attack from a meter away.
"As expected of Hinata, the rewards are indeed generous," Neji murmured.
Just then, a loud voice came from afar, awakening Hinata from her daze.
"Burn, my youth!"
Without turning his head, Neji already knew who it was.
"Guy-sensei, why are you here?" Neji asked, his face twitching, as he turned around.
