The small dark shadow hit the tall boys' legs accurately, making them stumble.
“Ah!~”×3
They were enraged by the pain.
“Who's attacking us? Damn it!~”
Then, they saw a boy about their height walking towards them, constantly tossing small stones in his hand.
Looking down, they saw that the stones had attacked them. They immediately understood it was this guy's doing.
“Seven Nights… classmate?!”
Yaku Shi No No U recognized Hyuga Seven Nights.
“Ha! So you know them…” a big-nosed boy huffed, “Kid, you gonna stick up for them?”
“I advise you to stay away, otherwise, we'll deal with you too.” another boy threatened.
He even flexed his arm muscles to show off.
Hyuga Seven Nights looked at Yaku Shi No No U and nodded slightly.
“Bullying someone smaller than you is one thing, but to bully someone weaker… ”
“Only those who are weak inside will bully those weaker than them…!”
The sarcasm in his tone was undisguised.
“You little brat, who are you calling weak?!”
Seeing Hyuga Seven Nights ignore their threats and continue walking towards them slowly, the four exchanged glances and immediately spread out in a fan shape, rushing forward to surround him.
Seven Nights continued to throw stones, saying calmly: “At least you know how to maintain your formation, but……”
He flicked his wrist, shooting out a stone with the skill of throwing a hand-shuriken.
“Humph! You think you can still hit us with your guard up?”
The four, being three-year students of the Ninja Academy, though not from any family or civilian geniuses, could still dodge a stone easily.
However, their original formation was disrupted.
Seven Nights seized the opportunity, his feet charged forward, his speed surged, and he directly struck the big-nosed boy's arm with a palm strike.
“Ah!……”
At the same time, Seven Nights spun his body around a tree, his toes hooked, kicking the boy's legs.
The big-nosed boy instantly fell to the ground, unable to get up.
The big-nosed boy cried out in pain, he felt a blur in front of him, then the boy was suddenly right beside him.
Then, Seven Nights knocked out the other three with the same move.
He didn't use Juken at all, just simple strikes and hooks, but they required eye sight, timing, strength, speed, and adaptability; all were indispensable.
It was a reflection of Seven Nights' training.
“Good… so powerful!”
The young boy behind Yaku Shi No No U stared with his mouth open, stuttering.
“He took them down so fast…”
As Seven Nights approached, Yaku Shi No No U said softly: “Seven Nights, thank you.”
Seven Nights was a head taller than Yaku Shi No No U, so his gaze was looking down at her.
“They can only bully you now, but with your talent, if you practice hard for a few years, surpassing them is inevitable.”
Yaku Shi No No U's face turned red immediately, and she quickly waved her hands, saying: “I... I can't, I'm just an orphan, I don't have any talent…”
Why would Seven Nights say that I'm talented?
He looked so certain?
He and Watergate are the true geniuses!
My hand-shuriken throwing is only at an average level in the class, and the rest is just ordinary…
Seven Nights didn't correct her, the things taught at the Ninja Academy currently wouldn’t bring out Yaku Shi No No U's real talent, maybe when she gets to the intelligence analysis class, she will shine.
However, by that time, it’s uncertain if she will already be under Danzo's control.
Thinking about this, Seven Nights glanced at the four who were groaning on the ground and asked, “Why didn't you fight back just now?”
“What?” No No U raised her head.
She was stunned for a moment before understanding what Seven Nights was saying.
“They have more people, and they're stronger than us. If we fight back, we might get bullied even worse…”
Seven Nights frowned and said, “You said you're an orphan, right?”
No No U lowered her head and murmured, “Yes…”
“Then you should be even stronger. You can't be so weak.”
Seven Nights' voice was loud and clear.
“Your weakness will only hurt those who want to protect you, like them.”
Seven Nights pointed at the young boy behind her and said seriously.
“I'm not weak, I just……”
No No U wanted to defend herself, but Seven Nights interrupted her.
“You know, as an orphan… a child without any favors, there is no other way but to be strong.”
“Only those who have no one to rely on will have to be strong and independent, because no one can shield you from the wind and rain, so you have to fight with your life to stand up beautifully.”
Seven Nights' words seemed to touch something, and No No U and the young boy behind her fell silent.
Hardship makes children mature early, especially in this world of ninjas.
Seven Nights looked at the contemplative Yaku Shi No No U and gently put his hand on her shoulder.
“One can be gentle for others, and one can be strong for others.”
“Next time, if you encounter this situation again, do you know what to do?”
“Hmm??” No No U blinked.
Seven Nights smiled: “Identify your target, catch one and beat them up, don't care about the rest.”
“Ah…!?”
…………
Hyuga Residence.
Hyuga Seven Nights finished his daily sparring with Hyuga Zong Yan and asked a question.
“Uncle, I have a question.”
“Although Juken is the hallmark of our Hyuga clan, before we master the 【Eight Trigrams Empty Palm】, we can only fight close to the enemy, unlike Ninjutsu, which can be released from a distance, we're at a disadvantage in attack distance…”
“So why not add swordsmanship and swordsmanship training?”
“Wouldn't that extend our attack distance?!”
“Moreover, we have a foundation in martial arts, we won't be slow to learn swordsmanship and swordsmanship…”
Hyuga Zong Yan was about to smell the tea he had just poured, but stopped when he heard this.
