As Mizumon walked out, the students behind him immediately began to whisper.
“Damn it!~”
“That effeminate guy again, what's so great about him?…”
“Exactly, he just knows how to show off…”
“As expected of Mizumon, so handsome, oh my!~~!”
Seeing the girls constantly praising Namikaze Minato, a few young boys were filled with envy.
However, not all the boys disliked Mizumon. After all, he was enthusiastic, sunny, and helpful, unlike some who always had a cold expression.
On the other side, Seven Nights entered the small forest and looked around.
Chakra immediately flowed to the soles of his feet. Coordinating with his leg muscles, his body blurred, springing forward more than seven meters.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh! Whoosh!…”
Seven Nights' figure, like a ghost, constantly shuttled through the small forest.
Sometimes, seemingly moving in a straight line, he would collide with a tree trunk. But Seven Nights could effectively avoid it during high-speed movement.
He could flit like a bird, lightly touching the treetops and soaring into the air; or he could flit like a butterfly, silently circling and dodging…
Gradually, light blue chakra appeared on Seven Nights' body, forming a wing-like structure, closely adhering to his body…
“Shhh! Shhh!…”
“Pfft! Pfft!…”
As Seven Nights moved, the sound of breaking wind became lower and lower.
After about five or six minutes, Seven Nights stopped and gasped slightly.
“Still a long way from being ‘silent’…”
Using the 【Zhoutian Breathing Technique】, Seven Nights quickly recovered his physical strength.
As the saying goes, in martial arts, the fastest wins, and the strongest wins!
Seven Nights was still young, his physical condition was still developing, so he could only focus on developing into a nimble offensive ninja. Both the future Namikaze Minato and the Third Raikage proved the difficulty of being a nimble offensive ninja…
Furthermore, 【Body Flicker Technique】 is only a D-rank jutsu, which Seven Nights learned smoothly from Hyuga Zongyan.
But the problem is that the D-rank 【Body Flicker Technique】 not only requires hand seals, but also has a moment of stiffness at the moment of stopping. Moreover, when moving, it is impossible to change direction midway. If you encounter a powerful ninja, you can predict the landing point and perform a surprise attack…
This didn't quite fit Seven Nights' idea of high-speed movement techniques.
Seven Nights hoped for a high-speed movement technique that combined body movements and footwork, which could be combined with the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist, reaching the state of being as swift as a bird and as ethereal as a wisp of smoke.
“Even if I mimic the vibration of bird wings, I can't completely eliminate the sound of breaking wind…”
“However, in terms of direct movement speed, it is indeed much faster than the 【Body Flicker Technique】…”
Seven Nights used energy deduction once and named this new skill 【Instant Step】. This ability was only possible due to the Hyuga clan's physique.
Not every ninja can release chakra from their acupoints, let alone someone like the Hyuga clan, who can release it from all parts of their body, and have skills like 【Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms】…
However, Seven Nights was still young. Both his chakra reserves and his mastery of 【Instant Step】 had huge room for improvement.

After Seven Nights left, a figure appeared from behind a hidden tree trunk.
It was a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing sunglasses in broad daylight and a soil-yellow jacket. Notably, he had two thin strands of beard hanging down from his lips, like the whiskers of some animal.
“I didn't expect to encounter a little genius while taking a stroll…”
“That footwork, combining speed and flexibility, has the shadow of the 【Body Flicker Technique】. I haven't seen anyone from the Hyuga clan use it…”
From his tone, the middle-aged man seemed very familiar with the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist.
“Is it a new secret technique?!”
“No, if it's a main family secret technique, why would they teach it to a branch family kid…?”
“Could it be that this kid created it himself?!”
Thinking about this, the middle-aged man was startled, and his sunglasses almost fell off.
“No, I have to investigate this kid's background…”
With that in mind.
The middle-aged man leaped into the air, like a dragon emerging from the sea, his figure disappearing.
With the middle-aged man's connections, he learned everything within half a day.
“Hyuga Seven Nights, a branch family genius. He's actually the great-nephew of old man Hyuga Zongyan. Tsk tsk tsk…”
“It seems like this footwork was created by Hyuga Zongyan…”
“I didn't expect that this old man could still leave such a legacy for the Hyuga clan in his later years…!”
His speculation was, to say the least, a normal thought for most people.
The middle-aged man was also a master of taijutsu.
He could see that this footwork was almost tailor-made for the Hyuga clan.
“What a pity! What a pity…”
…………
Hokage's office.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, was at his most energetic, handling things swiftly and decisively.
Looking at Watanabe Shinichi in front of him, he took a puff of his pipe.
“So, it's like this…”
“Special physique, can use Shadow Clone Technique to speed up training…”
Watanabe Shinichi said seriously: “Yes, this is the special feature of Hyuga Seven Nights. With his growth rate, as long as nothing happens to him, he will surely become a top-notch jounin in the future!”
Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped his pipe on the table.
“If so, Shinichi, you have to teach him well, let him shine for Konoha, and illuminate future generations.”
Watanabe Shinichi's tone was somewhat excited.
“Yes, Hokage-sama.”
He came here to get the Third Hokage's permission.
After Watanabe Shinichi left, the swirling smoke obscured Sarutobi Hiruzen's vision.
A soft murmur rang out.
“What a pity, he's a branch family…!”
