Chapter 339. Discovered

"Clan Leader Hyuga!"

In the end, Yuto couldn't find the two little troublemakers and gave up.

But hey, they're just kids~

It's normal for them to get distracted by something interesting. They probably seemed down earlier because Fugaku's resting stoic face scared them!

Once Fugaku left, they immediately reverted to their playful selves!

Even the girls who had come with him, Kana and Suzune, had been dragged off by Konan to play, leaving him all alone!

Still, since he ran into the Hyuga Clan Leader... it was only polite to say hello.

However, why did he get the feeling that the Hyuga Clan Leader... wanted to punch him?

Just as Yuto was about to approach, he noticed Hyuga Hiashi suddenly assume a very familiar stance—one he recognized all too well.

The opening stance of the Hyuga Clan's Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.

Suzune always took this stance whenever she was about to hit someone.

Yuto hesitated, then cautiously asked, "Am I... interrupting?"

That's right.

The man was here with his family. What business did Yuto have barging in?

No wonder Hiashi looked ready to smack him—he was ruining their peaceful family outing!

But the moment he spoke—

"Yuto!" Hiashi's wife, Keiko, quickly grabbed her husband's arm and gave Yuto an apologetic look before glancing around. "Aren't Suzune and Hanabi here today?"

"Suzune ran off to play on her own. As for Hanabi... she's still out on a mission and hasn't returned yet."

"I see. Thank you for taking care of them." Keiko smiled gently. "Don't mind Hiashi. He's been... a little irritable lately." She paused. "It's not directed at you."

"Understood, understood!" Yuto nodded knowingly. "After all, teaching kids can be stressful—especially those two. It's enough to drive anyone crazy!"

"???"

What kids?

Did they... have another one?

Before Keiko could ask—

Yuto cheerfully continued, "I was actually going to have Naruto and Sasuke come over to properly thank Clan Leader Hiashi, but, well... kids will be kids. They saw something fun and ran off. My apologies!"

"It's fine, it's fine!" Keiko's smile stiffened slightly as she shook her head. "Naruto and Sasuke are both excellent children. Hiashi is also very happy to be able to teach them!" She glanced down at Hinata, who seemed like she wanted to say something, and sighed. "You can go over when you see them later! Hinata!"

"Mhm~" Hinata nodded softly. "Okay, Mom~"

"Well, I won't disturb you any longer!" Yuto said quickly, noticing the increasingly dangerous glint in Hiashi's eyes. "Have fun! See you later!"

With that, he hurried off.

Who would've thought... Clan Leader Hiashi was so serious about his family time?

What a devoted family man!

However—

The moment Yuto left—

"Hmph!" Hiashi snorted coldly. "I should've hit him with an Eight Trigrams Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms and taught him a lesson!"

"You... No matter what, it's Hanabi's choice in the end." Keiko sighed helplessly. "If you hurt him, Suzune and Hanabi will be angry with you."

Hiashi clenched his fists but said nothing more. His expression icy, he turned to his daughter. Remembering what Yuto had said about those two brats, he muttered coldly, "It seems that the training these days is still too light. If they still have energy to play, then it's time to increase the intensity."

As he spoke—

His eyes sharpened. The veins around them bulged.

"Byakugan—Activate!"

A quick scan of the surroundings later—

His lips curled into a faint smirk.

"Found them."

Meanwhile, beside him—

Keiko could only watch her husband with resignation, while little Hinata trembled in fear.

[Father is so scary! I'll study hard and not worry him!]

Come to think of it...

When did Father start paying so much attention to Naruto-kun and Sasuke-kun's training and studies?

...

At the same time—

"Can we really hide, Sasuke?" Naruto huddled down and glanced at Sasuke beside him. "Every time we hide, Hiashi-sensei finds us super quickly!"

How many times has it been now?

So scary!

Even Iruka-sensei isn't this terrifying. freeweɓnovel.cøm

Even if they avoid passing by the Hyuga clan, as soon as school ends... they're immediately found and dragged to the Hyuga compound... for training.

"That's the power of the Byakugan!" Sasuke stood with the demeanor of a little adult, though his body still trembled slightly in fear. But... as the son of the Uchiha Clan Leader, how could he possibly show fear toward the Hyuga clan?

He was no longer a child!

"Unlike the Uchiha's Sharingan, the Hyuga clan's Byakugan can see far distances and even penetrate obstacles to locate people!"

"That's so scary! Does that mean Uncle Yuto will have no privacy at all in the future?"

"..."

Is now really the time to worry about that?

Sasuke gave Naruto an exasperated look, then discreetly scanned the densely packed crowd around them.

Hopefully, with so many people here, they wouldn't be easily spotted!

Originally, he hadn't wanted to come, but Naruto had shown up at his house, and... well, he was so annoyingly persistent that after some thought, the two of them secretly tagged along with his father.

But who would've thought?

In just a short while, they'd run into the Hyuga Clan Leader again!

At first, they had tried talking to their fathers and mothers, but... they were dismissed with, "The Hyuga Clan Leader is also an outstanding Jonin. I'm sure he'll teach you well. No slacking off!" and told to study hard.

They had even planned escape attempts with Shikamaru and the others' help.

However—

All failures!

Little Sasuke racked his brain for any viable solutions, then turned to Naruto, about to seriously warn him, "Listen! We absolutely cannot get too close to them—"

Suddenly—

He froze.

Staring blankly at the empty space behind him, he snapped back to reality with an angry shout, "Where did that idiot go?!"

Did he just run off alone again?!

Didn't he realize how dangerous their situation was?!

No sooner had he spoken than—

"Over here!"

Sasuke heard Naruto's voice and quickly turned, spotting him standing in front of a vendor stall.

"What the heck are you doing?!"

"Buying cotton candy! Want some? They've got all kinds of colors!" Naruto waved cheerfully, grinning. "They look delicious! I'll treat you!"

"You idiot!" Sasuke stormed over, glaring at him. "Do you not realize how dangerous things are right now?!"

If they got caught...

They'd be beaten up again!

Especially the Hyuga's Gentle Fist—it made you howl in pain, yet only left superficial wounds!

How terrible!

"Relax! It'll just take a second!" Naruto happily handed Sasuke a purple cotton candy from his right hand. "Here! Take it! My treat!"

"You— I don't want it!"

"Come on~ I bought two!"

"Childish! Only little kids eat this stuff. I don't want it!"

"Really! Just take it already. It's actually pretty good—how is this childish?!"

"You—" Sasuke stared helplessly as the cotton candy was shoved into his hand. Watching Naruto happily munching away, he hesitated... then took a small bite. "Childish!"

"Hehe! Arrogant Sasuke!" Naruto grinned, unfazed. "See? I said the cotton candy here is delicious!"

But—

The moment he finished speaking—

Suddenly—

"Is it delicious?"

A chillingly familiar voice came from behind them.

Instantly—

Naruto and Sasuke's bodies stiffened, and the cotton candy in their hands... fell straight to the ground.

Oh no!

They'd been discovered!
