Seven Nights’ attitude remained excellent after his win against Minato, he didn't get carried away.
Because at this time, Minato was just a student who had just stepped onto the path of a ninja, not the future invincible Golden Flash.
Seven Nights praised, “Minato, the technique you just used to increase your speed is pretty good.”
“Hehe…” Minato scratched his head with a smile, “It’s thanks to the book you recommended, there are many practical experiences in it, I learned a lot.”
Seven Nights thought for a moment and decided to tell him the secrets of climbing trees and walking on water.
These were not secret techniques, ninja school teachers would teach them, it was just a matter of learning sooner or later.
“Minato, if you want to make your speed faster, you have to improve your chakra control…”
“You can use climbing trees and walking on water to train, like this…”
Seven Nights spotted a large tree, about three or four people could hug it with their arms outstretched.
He placed his left foot on the trunk, chakra familiarly attached to the bottom of his foot, his waist and abdomen straight, and then, under Minato’s surprised gaze, he walked up step by step, unhurriedly.
Then, Seven Nights lay steadily across the trunk, his entire body parallel to the ground.
“At different heights, you will feel different downward pulling forces, you need to adjust your chakra constantly…”
Seven Nights continued to stroll while explaining the secret.
Finally.
He hung upside down like a bat on a branch.
The light in Minato’s azure blue eyes was shining, he didn’t expect Seven Nights to be willing to teach him this secret.
Is this an acknowledgment of himself?
The method of ignoring terrain…
Many related tactical applications immediately flashed through his mind.
Seven Nights retracted his chakra, twisted his body in mid-air, and landed gracefully.
“When you learn to climb trees, you can try walking on water…”
Minato said, “I’ve seen this, isn’t it like those ninjas standing directly on the water?”
Seven Nights nodded, “Yes.”
“It’s a bit more difficult than climbing trees, after all, trees are stationary, but water is constantly flowing.”
“Of course, the principles are the same.”
Minato looked at Seven Nights, his azure blue eyes filled with sincerity and gratitude.
“Seven Nights, thank you.”
“It’s nothing, your teacher will teach you these things later, I’m just telling you in advance.”
Minato didn’t continue to thank him.
Instead, he kept this gratitude in his heart.
Although Seven Nights said so, the precocious Minato knew that the differences between them were not the same.
…………
The sun was about to set, a beautiful afterglow dyed the sky red.
In the sunset and dusk, Minato and Seven Nights left the training ground together.
Watanabe Shinichi leaned against the tree trunk and looked at the backs of the two, there was a thin line of mist below, reflecting the desolate ground, which made the light in the sky even more glorious, and he was lost in thought for a moment.
A few seconds later, his gaze refocused.
“These two kids are doing a good job!”
“However, if Minato wants to challenge Seven Nights…”
Watanabe Shinichi shook his head, it wasn’t realistic at the moment.
Seven Nights was only a member of the Hyuga branch family, but he was under the tutelage of Lord Zongyan, and the resources and guidance he received were no less than those of the Hyuga main family.
The Hyuga clan’s Gentle Fist combined with the Byakugan kekkei genkai, has a great advantage in the Genin and Chunin stages.
It is fast to activate, consumes little chakra, and can both attack and defend, the downside is that it lacks long-range attack methods, but at the Chunin and Genin levels, except for some people with extraordinary bloodlines, everyone’s chakra is not much, and they can’t support a few jutsu.
Therefore, the main focus is still on taijutsu, with ninjutsu and genjutsu as supplements.
Although Minato is talented and extraordinary, he is only a commoner, with not much cultivation resources.
“Should I give Minato a little extra attention?”
Shinichi had this idea.
He noticed Seven Nights’ movement, it was swift and nimble, not like Body Flicker Technique, because there was no sense of stiffness.
It must be Lord Zongyan’s teachings!
He thought so.
Minato is so talented, and he is polite and hardworking, as a teacher, he naturally likes such children.
If the two kids can engage in healthy competition, it will also be beneficial for both of their strength growth.
“Let’s observe a bit more…”
When he was done thinking.
Shinichi’s figure disappeared instantly from the tree.
…………
First-year life was uneventful.
Seven Nights lived a simple life, going back and forth between home, ninja school, and the library, either training or learning new knowledge to broaden his horizons.
He also didn’t encounter any bad things like Minato being bullied or other troublesome incidents.
In ninja school, he was the undisputed top student in first year, as long as he didn’t bully others.
In fact, with Seven Nights’ strength, even if he competed against those outstanding students from higher grades, it was hard to say what the result would be.
In his family, he didn’t encounter any incidents of the main family attacking him.
It should be said that he hadn’t seen anyone from the main family in the past year.
He knew in his heart that it should have something to do with his uncle.
But specifically, his uncle wouldn’t tell him.
Seven Nights vaguely sensed that Hyuga Zongyan’s position in the family was unique.
Anyway, in his memory, since the “Cage Bird” curse mark was planted, he had never interacted with anyone from the main family in his life…
Well, except for Hyuga Hizashi.
Speaking of which, almost a year has passed, he is about to enter second year, and the Hizashi and Hiashi brothers are also about to graduate.
“What kind of graduation gift should I give them?”
Sitting in the classroom, Seven Nights looked out the window.
The grass was long and the orioles were singing, the feathers of sunlight gently fell, warming his face.
In the distance, the mountains met the sky.
