When the side character from the Hyuga clan activated his Byakuns to see how dangerous the chakra emanating from Yuta's red glowing fists was, he was met with a shocking revelation.

When he closed his eyes again, Yuta looked at him and put one finger in front of his lip, signaling him to shut up. The next moment Yuta rushed towards him at full speed and began to attack.

Hyuga reactivated his Byakugan to dodge almost every attack. Yuta's punches could not reach his opponent in any way, and Hyuga was getting more and more tired every second. Unaware of this, Yuta was annoyed that his superior speed was only being suppressed by technique and decided to step back and literally crush his opponent.

Not knowing what Yuta would do, Hyuga took no chances and pulled out five shurikens from his bowl at the same time and threw them toward Yuta. As the shuriken flew through the air towards Yuta, the referee saw Yuta standing there doing nothing and immediately prepared to jump on stage. After all, Yuta was living with the violent princess, and no ninja would want to turn Konoha's greatest medical expert against him for a simple mistake.

As the referee gritted his teeth and prepared to jump on stage at the last second, Yuta suddenly raised his hands and clasped them together, and Yuta's shadow shifted, forming a large circle in front of him. Thinking that he was using the techniques of the Nara clan, Hiruzen and hundreds of high-level ninjas leaned their asses out of their seats towards the stage as Yuta completed his technique.

If a child not from the Nara clan could learn and use a ninjutsu that was born by combining different types of chakra with a single glance, it would surely be one of the biggest events in the entire ninja world.

As the shurikens were about to hit Yuta from five different deadly spots, spinning in mid-air, Yuta raised his left ring finger. The mutant goat curse that came out of the ground was the target of the Shurikens, but it tried to kiss its owner's ass by ignoring the Shurikens that were lodged in its fur.

Yuta looked in disgust at the curse trying to lick him in the middle of the battle, then ordered the goat to run straight towards his opponent and he entered the goat's shadows.

The Hokage momentarily frowned at the sight of Yuta using summoned beasts to fight, while the Hokage was more interested in the unusual technique Yuta used to summon the mutant goat curse.

What shocked people was when Yuta stepped into the shadows and blended into the goat's shadow. It was as if every time Yuta left the stage, he gave people another reason to be surprised.

Danzo glanced at Hiruzen out of the corner of his eye and realized that this was the movement technique Yuta had used the night before. Seeing Yuta publicly displaying such an amazing movement technique that as a spy he should have kept secret, even Danzo hesitated for a moment. Was this boy really a genius and not a spy?

Few hadn't seen Yuta blend into the goat's shadow, and one of them was his opponent, Hyuga.

The boy from the Hyuga clan had been preparing for this competition for a long time and was aware of the unspoken rule about not using summoned beasts. Through his teeth, the boy observed the goat running at him, calling Yuta a bastard.

The goat's massive size was matched by a speed that could not be underestimated. Probably in a few seconds, the goat would reach him. To make the most of his last seconds, the boy activated his Byakugan once more and took a careful look at the goat's anatomy.

If this goat could not cover the flaws in its anatomy using chakra, he could simply dodge it by running to the side. As for the question of whether the goat could use chakra, there was not a drop of chakra to be seen.

After a brief pause, Hyuga put aside questions such as why this goat didn't have chakra, how a goat without chakra could be so big, and how one could make a contract with a creature without chakra, and he hit the head of the goat that was about to hit him with a gentle fist and changed its direction. At the same time, he darted in the other direction and passed by the goat.

As Hyuga watched the goat run past him, unable to stop himself as he had expected, until he fell out of the arena, he remembered that he had forgotten his main opponent. He turned his head and looked all around the arena, but he couldn't see Yuta. His chakra was already near empty and his eyes were starting to ache, but he needed to discover where Yuta was.

Forcing himself one last time, the boy activated his byakugans and scanned the surroundings. As the seconds passed it was getting harder and harder to keep his byakugans active, but he had no luxury of making mistakes, after all, he was only a member of the side family, and losing against the first years would surely result in him facing a huge punishment.

As he gritted his teeth and searched for Yuta with reddened eyes for a while longer, the painful sensation of the caged bird technique came to his mind. The pain of hundreds of needles stuck in the skull is not an easily forgettable experience for a five-year-old child. Since that day Hyuga has practiced hard and tried his best to never fail.

Seeing that he was about to forcefully use his last drop of chakra, the referee ninja immediately entered the arena and told the boy that the match was over. "As I predicted, Yuta is really out of the arena, I won," the boy muttered as his byakugans closed.

The referee felt sorry for the boy as he heard his last words and as he caught the boy's unconscious body, he announced the result.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

"The winner of this match is Senju Yuta. Medical team, please come to the stage."

At these words, Yuta stepped out of the boy's shadow and into everyone's eyesight. Yuta's first plan was to hide in the shadow of the goat and then, after blending into his shadow, punch Hyuga hard in the jaw and defeat him, but after he entered Hyuga's shadow, a possibility came to his mind.

Would he be discovered by the byakugan while hiding in someone else's shadow? And he almost got his answer. Although the Hyuga boy had pushed himself to the limit, he had failed to discover Yuta's location. After Yuta had once again won an effortless victory, the crowd cheered loudly, surprising even Yuta. Yuta bowed several times to the audience and thanked them, then walked back to his seat.

.. .. ..

The Hokage's arrangement must have worked because the villagers generally wanted Kakashi to win. The Hatake clan had suffered such great losses during the era of fighting clans that the number of their remaining members did not drive a wedge between them and the villagers. Apart from that, there was a significant number of people who thought Yuta would be victorious and supported him. Well, he was a Senju after all, people could not feel anger towards the Senju clan no matter how much they wanted to, who knows, maybe their wives were once from the Senju clan.

That's why in the battles without Kakashi and Yuta, the villagers didn't make much of a fuss to show their anger. Of course, the clan leaders who were not on the battlefield and had come to watch the competition were aware of this, but they did not react. This was not the first time Sarutobi had tried to suppress the clans.

At this moment an anbu ninja came and whispered in Hiruzen's ear the information he had gathered. Hiruzen listened to everything, then sighed deeply and said "That was a genjutsu huh" as if disappointed.

Yes, that was the final verdict of the Anbu ninjas after their thorough investigation. The red flames covering Yuta's hands did not contain any chakra, so it was nothing more than simple genjutsu. The Hokage remembered that he was still a child, it was not unusual for a boy his age to use techniques to make himself look cool and intimidating. Wasn't Kakashi already drawing dog heads on the earth wall technique?

The main conclusion to be drawn from this was that this boy not only had a special bloodline but was also skilled in genjutsu.

The Hokage decided that there was more to this boy and ordered his anbu ninja to carefully observe Yuta's next battle, along with a few ninjas specializing in detection. Meanwhile, Hiruzen, realizing that his ass had not touched the seat since the middle of the battle, sat quietly in his seat, trying to hide his embarrassment.

Meanwhile, the Mutant Goat, who had been on its back and unable to right itself after falling out of the arena, was remembered by Yuta and with a gesture was pulled back into the shadow space. Those who had enjoyed watching the goat making funny movements like an upside-down turtle were saddened by this, while the ninjas who were about to take action to remove the goat from the stage were happy.

*Ladies and gentlemen, the quarterfinals will start after a twenty-five-minute break. The semi-finals and finals will continue in the afternoon.

After the loud announcement by the referee ninja, people relaxed in their seats and started chatting with their friends around them.

Preparing to wait for the next competition to begin, Hiruzen frowned and gave up at Danzo's insistence and called Yuta over for a private conversation.

When Danzo heard his order to the Anbu ninja, he immediately objected. "Hiruzen, I asked you to call him after the competition, not now. If you call him to talk in front of everyone, people might misunderstand."

Tsunade heard these words but chose to remain silent. If necessary, she would rather use her fist than speak anyway...

Hiruzen acted as if he didn't understand what he was talking about and took a pipe out of his pocket and put it in his mouth. "What kind of misunderstanding are you talking about, Danzo?"

Danzo answered without thinking. "If people see him being called by you after seeing his abilities, they might think that you personally invited him to Anbu. Even if you are going to call him now, call Kakashi too, so you can avoid a bigger misunderstanding."

Hiruzen saw that he was getting flustered and smiled warmly, his face unchanging. "What do you mean by a bigger misunderstanding? Besides, personally inviting him to Anbu doesn't seem like a bad idea."

Seeing Danzo's anger, Hamura and Koharu tried to calm him down at the same time, but when they saw that Tsunade was starting to gather chakra in her fists, they quietly took their seats.

And Danzo continued to speak in his accumulated anger. "If you call a talented boy to your side at a time like this in front of everyone, Hiruzen, people will think you are going to take students again. The villagers already think that you have no talent except to train students."

Hiruzen acted as if he hadn't heard the insult and said it might be a good idea.

Danzo stood motionless for two seconds as if he had been struck by lightning, then shouted with reddened eyes. "You want to teach a spy boy personally, HIRUZEN! Are you crazy? Now..." Before Danzo could say anything more, he was punched by Tsunade who realized he had called Yuta a traitor.

Danzo was punched so hard that when he hit the ground there was a huge explosion, sending pieces of the floor flying.
