“Since the people of Mount Myōboku rejected the Hyuga Clan, there is no need for us to think about them anymore.” Said Hizashi with a helpless expression.
Kuroto nodded, “Forget it, it’s not that big of a deal anyway... the contract with Mount Myōboku was just an opportunity, it doesn’t matter all that much.” Then stood up and left.
Hearing Hizashi and Kuroto’s words, Hiashi couldn’t help but sigh.
The children’s trip to Mount Myōboku is undoubtedly another disastrous defeat for the Hyuga Clan against the Uchiha Clan.
Whether in terms of prestige or overall strength, the Uchiha Clan firmly surpasses the Hyuga Clan. Even in the Ninja Academy, Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Kiyomi’s performance is starting to overwhelm Neji and Hinata’s performance.
It won’t be wrong to say that in recent years, except for the time when Kuroto was chosen as the Principal of the Konoha Ninja Academy over Uchiha Shisui, the Hyuga Clan has always been surpassed by the Uchiha Clan. This streak of continuous defeat has severely affected the status of the Hyuga Clan in Konoha. These days the residents of Konoha no longer consider the Uchiha and Hyuga Clans on the same level.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
And now that Uchiha Sasuke has signed a Summoning contract with the toad of Mount Myōboku, one of the three unexplored Sage regions, it is foreseeable that the gap between the two clans will continue to widen in the future.
Faced with such a predicament, Hiashi–the Patriarch of the Hyuga Clan–can’t help but get more and more annoyed.
...
After leaving the mansion of the Patriarch, Kuroto was on his way to the Ninja Academy, and Neji silently followed him, it seemed that he wanted to say something, but was hesitating to speak.
Seeing Neji’s behavior, Kuroto guessed his thoughts, and said, “I have already told you several times... not to hesitate when speaking your thoughts. Just speak what you want, what’s there to hesitate.”
Anyone who has an advanced level of control over Natural Energy should be able to foresee the future after some training, however, there is a catch, they can only foresee the future of individuals, not the world itself.
Here Ryūmyaku comes into play, Ryūmyaku–after all, is a cluster of Natural Energy–and since Kuroto carries such dense Natural Energy with him, and has formed a contract with it, so he is considered part of nature itself, making it impossible for anyone to foresee his future, and Gamamaru is no exception.
Since Neji is Kuroto’s disciple, Neji’s destiny is deeply connected with Kuroto, if anyone tries to foresee Neji’s future, Kuroto is bound to be involved, making it difficult for others to foresee Neji’s future as well. That’s why, Kuroto believes that when Gamamaru tried to foresee Neji’s future, he shouldn’t have seen anything, making him believe that Neji is nothing special.
Of course, this is what Kuroto thinks, obviously, he can’t tell these things to Neji.
Neji continued, “Even if our future was uncertain before, that’s no longer the case... And the Great toad Sage might not be wrong about Sasuke’s bright future.
Sasuke’s talent is no worse than mine, and after he signed the summoning contract with Mount Myōboku, he not only obtained a powerful summoning beast, but also got entry to Mount Myōboku. And now that he can go there whenever he wants and train Senjutsu of Mount Myōboku, the difference in our abilities will become more and more apparent, over time.
After Naruto –who always ranked last–mastered the Senjutsu, his strength increased by several levels, and he could put up a fight against the Jonin-level shinobi, just think about how strong Sasuke will become if he masters the Senjutsu!
At this rate, I don’t even have the opportunity to compete against Sasuke... all of this has nothing to do with the hard work, it all comes down to fate!”
Kuroto chuckled, “Does that mean you have accepted defeat?”
“I... I just don’t see any hope of surpassing them in the future. Naruto has the inheritance of Ryūchi Cave, Sasuke has the inheritance of Uchiha Clan and Mount Myōboku... and me... what do I have? Just a pair of Byakugan locked in a cage! Sensei... I don’t see the way forward!” said Neji, with an expressionless face.
Kuroto didn’t interrupt Neji, he allowed Neji to speak his doubts, and when Neji finally stopped, Kuroto asked, “Answer me Neji, are Ryūchi Cave and Mount Myōboku so great that you even lost your fighting spirit? What’s so great about them?”
