Chapter 74: A Loving Father and a Filial Son

The Hyuga clan was well protected because of the system.

Although they would go to the battlefield, it was only under extremely special circumstances.

As a ninja, Hyuga Hiashi had of course also gone to the battlefield when he was young.

And his overall contribution to the war made him qualified as a jonin.

But... from the middle of the Third Ninja World War to now, he has not really been to the battlefield for a long time, and he has not even left the village a few times, being dragged down by various government affairs.

Guns that are not often sharpened will rust, and the same is true for ninjas.

Gradually focusing on the family, he abandoned personal improvement and focused on coordinating the family's rights and interests and his status in the village.

These things consumed his energy and strength.

Although Ryosuke was young, he had become strong and healthy after two transformations, and he was constantly improving.

Although Hyuga Hiashi was older and more experienced, he was constantly reducing his strength. In comparison, the gap brought by age was constantly narrowing.

Ryosuke and Hyuga Hiashi knew this.

"Have you made up your mind to challenge me?"

Sitting on the porch in the courtyard.

Hyuga Hiashi was drinking tea while watching the red glow brought by the sunset.

Because of the matter of Wave Country, Ryosuke told Hyuga Hiashi about challenging him as soon as he returned home.

Without hesitation, Ryosuke replied seriously: "Because I am likely to go to Wave Country, so... I need to have the qualifications to leave the village."

"I guessed that you would not settle down, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

Hyuga Hiashi seemed to have expected it, and put the teacup in his hand on the plate next to him, "Okay, but you need to wait for me for a while."

He shifted his gaze from the sunset to Ryosuke.

To be honest, being challenged so soon made him feel despised.

After a pause, Ryosuke didn't understand what he meant, "You mean... we still need to make an appointment?"

"Of course, I need to spend some time preparing."

Hinata Hiashi nodded, a stiff smile on his serious face, "I haven't really taken action for a long time, my body is almost rusty."

"Since I told you, I will only allow you to leave the village if you defeat me."

"Then you must defeat me as a jonin, not as the head of the Hyuga clan."

Although the titles of the positions are different, Ryosuke now understands what he means.

"How long do you need...?"

He asked after a moment of hesitation.

Because he was not sure when the clan members sent to the Land of Waves would be able to get the news back, he hoped to let his father be completely assured of him as soon as possible.

"One week."

Hinata Hiashi stretched out a finger, "Since I told you about this, I have been adjusting my body, and now it is almost ready."

"Although I can't perform to the peak state when I was fighting on the battlefield, from the perspective of the ninja position, I can already perform at the level of a jonin."

"I am looking forward to fighting with you."

Facing the serious Hinata Hiashi, Ryosuke also smiled, "About our battle, let's not tell Hinata and the others, so as not to worry them."

For this father who was so stubborn, he could only try his best to cooperate.

"Okay."

Hinata Hiashi nodded pretentiously.

The father and son smiled at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes...

Although the Wave Country is a vassal state of the Fire Country, it is on the border of the Fire Country after all.

If you want to reach the border from Konoha Village and start at full speed, it will take a long time.

Ryosuke can still wait for just one week.

But...it's not really waiting.

Under the serious attitude of Hinata Hiashi, he couldn't help but feel pressure in his heart.

He had already come into contact with the strength of the jonin in the previous battle.

In Konoha Village, there are three levels of ninjas.

Genin, Chunin, and Jonin.

The rules for distinguishing these three levels are not based on simple strength, but on overall comprehensive qualities.

Most of the genin are ninjas who have just graduated, similar to the so-called interns. They have neither strength nor rich combat experience, nor a relatively perfect state of mind, and are easily affected by many unexpected events.

So at this stage, ninjas are mostly in groups of three, led by an old jonin to perform tasks.

And Chunin is a formal ninja who has left the internship stage.

At this stage, every ninja has a certain strength and combat experience, and the most important thing is to have a certain ability to make independent judgments when performing tasks.

As for the village, in addition to the position of Kage, the highest ninja level jonin needs to have the ability to complete tasks independently.

Most of the time, jonins accept and complete tasks independently.

They can face most emergencies without companions.

Rich combat experience and perfect combat awareness make the jonin have extremely sharp thinking in battle. They can have combat intuition similar to the sixth sense and avoid many troubles and injuries.

Just like when Ryosuke faced the jonin of Uchiha.

Whether it was a surprise attack or a subsequent attack with Xingcai and others, this jonin always responded to the enemy very quickly.

If it weren't for the two companions dragging him down and affecting his state of mind again and again, it would be difficult for Ryosuke and others to catch him if he was alone, and he might escape.

That time, Ryosuke had two ninja helpers, Xingcai and Souji, who were close to the level of jonin, but their levels were temporarily at the Chunin stage due to the assessment.

But this time, he will face a jonin alone.

Although this jonin is a rusty spear that has not seen blood for a long time, from the words of his father, he has begun to polish it to let the rust fall off.

But... he certainly still has a chance.

After all, the current Ryosuke is completely different from the Ryosuke back then in terms of overall strength.

The inner chakra began to surge, and the blue-white eyes on his face became brighter and brighter.

When he thought about having a direct confrontation with a jonin, Ryosuke couldn't help but feel a little excited and couldn't suppress his excitement.

Boom--

With the surging mood, the pressure that had been practiced was compressed to the extreme. The ground within a meter around Ryosuke formed a circle of circular gullies in the huge roar.

Standing on a tiny rock pillar, Ryosuke glanced at the deep gullies under his feet, "It can be used at the first time. If the chakra is sufficient, this can almost replace the kaiten and become a new absolute defense."

The gully is about a few meters deep. The pressure has compressed the range to the extreme. It is the maximum power he can exert at present.
