Chương 12: Chapter 12: Meeting Hiashi
Naruto: "..."
Unable to win the argument and feeling frustrated, Naruto could only sulk on his own.
Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, it was almost time to return to school.
Meanwhile, at the Hyuga household...
Hiashi calmly sipped his tea while casting a faint glance at Ryujiro seated across from him.
Outside the door, Hinata was feeling restless and anxious. She had suddenly received news that her father wanted to see Ryujiro. Could it be because of their frequent interactions?
"Don't worry, sister. Father won't make things difficult for your boyfriend," reassured the petite and lovely Hanabi.
Hinata blushed shyly at her sister's words, her face turning red.
"Don't talk nonsense, Hanabi. Me and Ryujiro..."
Hinata's voice trailed off, growing quieter as she spoke. Hanabi knew her sister's personality well. Though Hinata used to be timid, she had changed significantly since meeting Ryujiro.
In this world, as women mature early. Even though Hanabi was aware of Hinata's relationship with Ryujiro, she didn't say much about it.
"It's because of you that my daughter has changed so much," Hiashi said with a hint of severity in his eyes, exerting the aura of a high-ranking ninja.
However, even facing such a high-ranking ninja, Ryujiro was confident enough to believe he could defeat Hiashi. So, when talking to him, Ryujiro remained unchanged.
"She chose to change herself, not because of me," Ryujiro said calmly, meeting Hiashi's gaze.
A hint of surprise flashed in Hiashi's eyes, as he began to regard Ryujiro with even more respect. Could a kid have such composure and attitude?
He had witnessed Hinata's personality changing day by day, and he had once considered giving up on her.
Before meeting Ryujiro, Hinata couldn't even defeat her sister Hanabi, let alone Neji.
If it weren't for Neji being from a branch family, Hiashi would have considered focusing more on his training.
But as time passed, Hiashi noticed a change in his daughter. She became stronger, shedding her previous weakness visibly.
Almost every day, Hiashi watched Hinata train diligently in the family dojo, and her strength grew rapidly.
During a real battle with Neji, he witnessed Hinata completely overpowering him, leaving him defenseless.
This made Hiashi curious. What had caused such a huge change in his once timid daughter?
Upon investigation, Hiashi discovered that his daughter had been in close contact with a civilian student at school, and what surprised him even more was that this civilian student turned out to be a prodigy.
He had defeated Sasuke and even Neji.
When he learned that Ryujiro's strength was already comparable to that of a Jonin, Hiashi was stunned for a long time before regaining his composure.
A Jonin at the age of eight, a genius even surpassing Kakashi?
And Ryujiro's specialty was not ninjutsu but swordsmanship. Was Konoha about to produce another figure like Kakashi's father?
After careful consideration, Hiashi wanted to meet this extraordinary young man.
Upon seeing Ryujiro for the first time, Hiashi couldn't help but feel that he was unusually mature.
After conversing for about half an hour, Hiashi looked at Ryujiro seriously and said, "I don't oppose you being with Hinata, but take care of her, because she is my daughter."
Ryujiro lowered his eyes and sipped his tea, his dark green eyes exuding allure.
"As long as I'm here, Hinata won't suffer any harm," Ryujiro said earnestly, putting Hiashi's mind at ease.
As the door opened, Hinata and Hanabi, who had been eavesdropping, lost their balance and fell to the ground.
Especially Hinata, when she looked up at the tall figure of Ryujiro, blushed deeply.
The embarrassed Hinata hurriedly ran back to her room.
"Well, then, I'll take my leave, Hyuga-sama."
"Mm."
Watching Ryujiro's figure recede, Hiashi couldn't help but sigh.
Having the strength of Jonin at the age of eight... Did the Third Hokage want to groom this kid to be the Hokage?
However, Ryujiro had no interest in becoming Hokage. He just wanted to become stronger, continuously stronger!
What's the use of being Hokage? During the Fourth Great Ninja War, the so-called Hokage were powerless against Uchiha Madara, let alone the other members of the Akatsuki.
And in the later battles against Kaguya Otsutsuki, they seemed insignificant.
Moreover, Ryujiro didn't feel any sense of belonging to Konoha itself.
If Konoha's dark hands reached out to him, he wouldn't care about the village. Even if he became a rough ninja, so what?
Only strength mattered.
Right now, the primary goal was to raise the progress of the Mihawk template to 100% and unlock the second character template.
Even in his prime, Mihawk's strength was at most comparable to a high level Kage. But if he wanted to confront monsters like Otsutsuki, he was still weak.
Before unlocking the second template, if he had the chance to meet Jiraiya, he would ask him about Sage Mode and Senjutsu Chakra.
With Sage Mode, even without unlocking his second template, his strength could be greatly increased.
Right now, he was only at the beginning of his journey, and those monstrous beings were unlikely to appear. The Kage's are still an absolute powerhouse at this stage.
Ryujiro's figure appeared on the village road, and at that moment, a voice called out to him.
With his trademark short sleeves and unique black spiky hair...
"It's Sasuke!"
A smile appeared on Ryujiro's face, but he also felt a little surprised.
"Is what my brother said true?"
"Has your strength really reached the level of Jonin?"
Sasuke looked at Ryujiro with unwillingness in his eyes, feeling a bit bitter.
As a member of the Uchiha clan, he was proud of his identity.
The Uchiha clan had produced many geniuses—Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Shisui, his brother... And before Ryujiro entered school, he was also a genius of the Uchiha clan.
But since Ryujiro entered school, his brilliance as a genius had been gradually overshadowed.
After losing to Ryujiro, Sasuke's pride suffered an unprecedented blow.
"Well, perhaps I was no match for Itachi last time, but now I have the power to fight him," Ryujiro said calmly, causing Sasuke's eyes to shrink suddenly.
How is that possible!

Chương 13: Chapter 13: The Gap Between You and Me
Ryujiro was only 7 years old!
And compared to Ryujiro, Sasuke was still weaker than him in every aspect.
"Ryujiro, fight with me," Sasuke said.
"Why?" Ryujiro asked.
"I want to know the difference between us," Sasuke replied.
Ryujiro sighed helplessly.
Sasuke was clearly looking for trouble. Ryujiro led Sasuke to the forest where he often trained.
"Why is this place like this?" Sasuke asked, looking at the deep crater ground and the dense forest cut by sharp weapons, his face filled with shock.
"Look, Sasuke," Ryujiro said.
"This is the difference between you and me."
With that, Ryujiro drew his sword, and struck a simple yet powerful slash.
Sasuke hadn't even realized what was happening.
A dazzling dark red sword aura, like a tsunami engulfing everything, swept through, overturning everything in its path.
"Boom!"
The sword aura surged, overwhelming everything in its path. The terrifying force shattered the earth.
The endless land trembled because of this dark red sword aura, and the vibrations in the forest startled countless birds.
The terrifying force submerged everything, leaving behind a deep trench ten of meters deep on the ground, like a torn wound.
As the dust settled and the mist dispersed, Sasuke widened his eyes in horror, staring at the split ground before him.
Sasuke was completely stunned.
"Do you understand now? This is the difference of strength between you and me. There's no need for a fight," Ryujiro said calmly.
"I have things to attend to. Goodbye."
With a farewell, Ryujiro left Sasuke, who was still bewildered.
Sasuke collapsed to the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
"Is this a joke? How could he have such power!"
"Is that ninjutsu? A-rank, or S-rank?"
"The gap between him and me is so huge. Can I ever catch up to him?"
Clutching his fists in frustration, Sasuke couldn't accept always lagging behind Ryujiro.
But when he saw the deep carvings on the ground, he felt even more hopeless and powerless.
The gap was too enormous.
---
In the following days at the ninja academy, Ryujiro continued to send his shadow clones to attend classes.
Each clone alone was strong enough to compete with low level Jonin.
The difference in strength was only because the clones didn't have a sword.
If the shadow clones also wielded swords, they might even be able to take on Jonin.
[Character Template: Dracule Mihawk]
[Character Unlock Progress: 35.5%]
Now Ryujiro had successfully mastered the essence of the swordsman.
Although his Armament Haki and Observation Haki had not yet reached their peak, his Armament Haki was enough to cover his upper body.
Training Haki was simple: Ryujiro pushed it to its limits time and time again, constantly surpassing himself.
Only by doing so could he rapidly improve his Haki.
In his mental space, Mihawk had transformed into his version. He wore a black tricorn hat adorned with white fur, and a wine-red patterned shirt.
A small cross-shaped knife hung from his chest, and Ryujiro vividly remembered Mihawk's quirky expression when he took out the knife.
"The Strongest Swordsman in the World."
In his mental space, Ryujiro felt a heavy pressure. Indeed, the pressure of being the strongest swordsman was like a mountain pressing down on him.
However, Ryujiro had an idea, one he had never considered before.
Could his mental self use ninjutsu and Shadow Clone Jutsu? Ryujiro had never attempted such a thing before.
It seemed that chakra still existed.
"Let's give it a try."
Ryujiro formed hand seals.
"Boom!" Another figure appeared beside him, and Ryujiro's expression changed.
Just creating a shadow clone hugely depleted his chakra, showing that there were still limitations in the mental space.
But even creating one shadow clone was enough.
Strongest Swordsman!
Let me test my skills!
"Clang!"
Mihawk's sharp eyes showed no emotion.
Accompanied by a sword cry, a green sword aura, dozens of meters high, swept towards Ryujiro like a fierce storm.
Damn!
Feeling the intense danger, Ryujiro knew that the gap between him and Mihawk of this era was huge.
Ryujiro dodged the green sword aura, while his shadow clone searched for an opportunity.
Seizing the moment when Mihawk was vulnerable, a red black sword aura surged forth.
"Clang!"
With a casual raise of his hand, Mihawk easily deflected the sword aura from Ryujiro's shadow clone, causing it to explode above them.
.....
In the Hyuga family's dojo, Hiashi watched as Ryujiro, holding his sword, emitted a terrifying aura.
What on earth is this kid doing?
He's just standing there with his eyes closed holding a sword, but why does his aura fluctuate like that? Especially at that moment, Hiashi even felt a sense of threat.
"Father."
Hinata called out, then looked at Ryujiro and said, "Ryujiro is training again."
"Training?"
"Is this what he does for training?"
Hiashi couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"Yes, Father. Ryujiro's training has always been like this. Besides sparring with us, he spends more time contemplating swordsmanship in his own world."
"Isn't this meditation?"
Hinata shook her head.
"I used to think so too, but every time Ryujiro enters this state, his strength increases significantly."
"This is a secret of Ryujiro's strength."
A secret?
Hiashi furrowed his brow in contemplation. Could there be a bloodline limit that helps in his training?
But Ryujiro is just a commoner. His parents, both Jonin, had no such bloodlines.
This kid is indeed extraordinary.
Will his swordsmanship bring about a new White Fang that will terrify other ninja villages?
In the mental space, Ryujiro only saw a flash of sword light, and he returned from the mental space to reality.
Ryujiro gasped for breath, sweat covering his forehead as he knelt on one knee.
Was his stamina depleted to such an extent?
Hiashi was surprised; indeed, as Hinata had said, meditation definitely wouldn't cause Ryujiro's chakra to plummet so suddenly.
And he looked so exhausted.
Truly the world's greatest swordsman. Even though Ryujiro used the same techniques, he could still be easily countered by Mihawk.
Ryujiro wasn't just learning Mihawk's techniques without purpose; he also combined ninjutsu to create new sword techniques.
The power of the Strongest Swordsman's sword aura was dozens of times stronger than his own!
Just one strike was equivalent, no more than the power of an S-rank ninjutsu, which was thrilling to think about.
