Naruto: The Strongest Training System

Chapter 18: Two Taijutsu Arts

Although the Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palms and the Rotation were considered two of the most outstanding techniques in taijutsu, there was now a problem staring Orion right in the face: I am not a member of the Hyuga clan.

I'm not a member of the Hyuga clan. If it were just that, it wouldn't be a big deal, because my father is the Fourth Hokage of the Konoha ninja village, after all! Therefore, there wouldn't be any problem with me training in these two taijutsu arts.

But the real problem then emerged. Because Orion was not a member of the Hyuga clan, he did not possess the Hyuga clan's Kekkei Genkai, the Byakugan, which the Hyuga are born with. But now, he didn't have the Byakugan. Orion was very perplexed by this.

As everyone should know, the Byakugan is the Kekkei Genkai of the Hyuga clan, possessing extremely strong reconnaissance and support abilities. It has a nearly 360-degree field of vision and can easily see the flow of chakra in the surrounding environment. It also has the ability to see things far away and to see through objects.

It can also see the opponent's meridian network and their chakra points, and can even distinguish who a particular stream of chakra belongs to.

He could do without all the other abilities mentioned above, but the most important one was the ability to see the opponent's meridian network and chakra points. This was a function he could not do without. If he didn't have this function, then how could he seal the opponent's chakra points? How could he make the opponent unable to use chakra?

Yet this system had just happened to give me these two taijutsu. I don't know if this was just a coincidence or if the system did it on purpose.

But whether it was a coincidence or intentional, I still needed to ask the system. "System, why did you give me these two taijutsu? This Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palms and the Rotation are both taijutsu unique to the Hyuga clan. What do you mean by giving me these two techniques?"

"Actually, System, I don't really have an opinion about you giving me the Rotation. But what the hell were you thinking giving me the Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palms?!"

"System, you didn't even check if I had the Byakugan and just forced the Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palms on me, even calling it my compensation. For god's sake, how am I supposed to use the Gentle Fist without the Byakugan? How can I use the Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palms if I can't see the chakra points inside the human body? Tell me that, System!"

After Orion finished his rant to the system in his mind, some time passed, but the system did not respond. I didn't know if the system was just playing dead because it didn't want to answer me, or if it simply hadn't heard what I said.

The system's non-responsive attitude made Orion even more furious. Even his face turned slightly red, flushed with anger.

"System, don't play dead! Come out and tell me what's going on. You just forced two taijutsu on me as compensation, and fine, I have no problem with you compensating me like that."

"But, could you at least choose the taijutsu before transferring it into my brain as compensation? I actually have no problem with you transferring the Rotation to me, because, you know, you don't need the Byakugan to use the Rotation."

"To use the Rotation, I just need to use the method you transferred into my mind, let chakra erupt from my meridians, surround my whole body with a large amount of chakra, and then spin rapidly on the spot to form an absolute defense around myself. That's all there is to the Rotation."

"But you didn't even consider my opinion and just stuffed the Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palms on me. What's that about? Although you said you transferred the method of using the Gentle Fist into my mind, I don't have the Byakugan. I can't see the location of the opponent's chakra points."

"So I simply can't use the Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palms correctly, can't hit the opponent's chakra points, can't seal the points that allow them to use chakra. You tell me, in that case, what use is the Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palms to me? You tell me!"

Orion said to the system in his mind angrily.

This time, the system responded to Orion. Perhaps it knew it could no longer avoid the issue, so it responded to me, its host.

"Ding! Due to a selection error on the part of this system, which resulted in a loss for the host, this system will now directly gift the host another ninjutsu. It is a ninjutsu with functions somewhat similar to the Byakugan, but it is a technique that is absolutely more powerful than the Byakugan."

The system replied to me, its host, its speaking pace unchanged.

"A ninjutsu? System, are you saying you're going to directly gift a ninjutsu to me? And it's a ninjutsu with functions no worse than the Byakugan? That's what you said, right? I didn't mishear, did I?"

Orion asked the system in his mind excitedly.

A ninjutsu that can be compared to the Byakugan... how overpowered is that? Doesn't that mean if this ninjutsu were to be leaked, the Hyuga clan would be finished? They could just withdraw from being one of the great clans of the ninja world.

Because if other ninjas were to learn it, wouldn't it be equivalent to them possessing the Hyuga clan's Kekkei Genkai? Then what's the point of the Hyuga clan even existing? They could just withdraw from being one of the great ninja clans and become an ordinary ninja family.

But this was something that could never happen. Never mind whether other ninjas could learn this technique; there was a big question of whether it could even be spread from Orion's hands.

Such an amazing ninjutsu, would I be idiotic enough to tell others for free? Seriously, stop kidding me. I'm not that stupid. I'm not some selfless person. Why should I just give this ninjutsu to others for free? Heh, that's impossible.

After hearing the system's answer, Orion revealed a sinister smile and muttered to himself, "Hmph, Hyuga clan, you can rest assured. Such a ninjutsu that can rival the Hyuga clan's Byakugan... I, Namikaze Orion, will absolutely not let it be spread. Your Hyuga clan can rest a hundred percent easy."

"However, if you Hyuga clan members run into me in the future, then you won't have a single advantage. The things you can do, I can do too. You have the Byakugan, and I have a ninjutsu that can rival it. And I also know the Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palms and the Rotation. I hope you don't become my enemies, because you will definitely regret it."

"Ding! This system finds it necessary to remind the host again: anything produced by this system is guaranteed to be of premium quality. No ninjutsu that comes from this system is trash. Therefore, the host should not compare the Hyuga clan's trash Byakugan with the ninjutsu this system has given to the host."

"Because the gap between the two is immense. The ninjutsu this system has given to the host, when cultivated to its later stages, will absolutely be countless times more powerful than the Hyuga clan's Byakugan. Even in its early stages, it is no worse than the Hyuga clan's Byakugan."

The system slowly replied to me.

"Holy crap! It's that amazing, that powerful? System, are you sure you're not bragging, not deceiving me, your adorable host?" Orion asked the system in his mind, finding it a bit hard to believe.

"Ding! Another reminder to the host: anything produced by this system is guaranteed to be of premium quality. Please do not compare this system's products with the Hyuga clan's trash Byakugan again, because the two simply cannot be compared. The gap between them is just too vast."
