Hyuga Hizashi

The arrival of Hizashi was indeed somewhat beyond Zhang Miao's expectations, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed reasonable.

Tsunade's influence was so great that even the Hyuga clan did not dare to despise him. Before, they were only watching because they had not yet confirmed Zhang Miao's identity, but now that they were, they immediately sent someone to contact him.

The one they sent to contact Zhang Miao was not just some nobody. First of all, they would not send someone from the main family, because it might humbled them too much they couldn't bear it.

But they couldn't just send someone from the branch family, because if Zhang Miao felt that the Hyuga clan was looking down him, it would cause a negative effect. So they decided to send Hizashi.

Although Hizashi belongs to the branch family, he was the brother of the current head of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hiashi. He was just the right person for the task, since his position was just right. Not from the main family, but equally important since he was the clan leader's relative.

They also heard that Zhang Miao likes to be friends with geniuses, since they had seen Zhang Miao hanging out with the likes of Kakashi, Itachi, Shisui and Yugao. They were all standouts among their generation.

And Hizashi's son, Neji, has shown extraordinary talent since he was a child. He could be regarded as a rare genius in the Hyuga clan for decades. Using him as a way to establish a relationship with Zhang Miao was a very good decision.

These were the results of the careful consideration of the higher-ups of the clan. Hizashi wouldn't have a say in it, an he could only follow their orders.

Of course, Hizashi genuinely felt that if Neji could become Zhang Miao's friend, it would definitely be beneficial for him.

The only thing he was worried about was that Zhang Miao would look down on his status. After all, he only came to Zhang Miao's shop at the main family's order.

In fact, Hizashi was worried for nothing, because Zhang Miao never cared about the Hyugas' internal business.

When Zhang Miao heard that the system notified him that he had obtained Hizashi's ninja fragments, he knew that Hizashi recognized him and invited him sincerely.

"Uncle Hizashi, I'm honored by your invitation, but it's a bit late, so I'll go to your place another day. If you don't mind, how about we go to Yakiniku Q for dinner later? You should bring Neji along!"

The meaning of Zhang Miao's words is to tell Hizashi that he understood his intention, and he accepted it, but this is not because of the Hyuga clan, but because of Hizashi's sincerity!

No matter what, Hizashi was also a member of a famous clan. Of course, he could understand what Zhang Miao meant, so he immediately agreed with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll go pick up Neji now!"

"Okay, Uncle Hizashi, take care, see you later!"

Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Hizashi nodded again, and then turned to leave. When he left, Zhang Miao also received a prompt from the system again.

"[Ding! - Congratulations to the host for getting Hizashi's initial recognition. In the future, when the host interacted with Hizashi, the host will obtain 5 of his ninja fragments!]"

Hearing this prompt, Zhang Miao suddenly waved his fist in his heart.

"Oh yeah!"

For Zhang Miao, it doesn't matter whether he could recruit the member of the branch family or main family, his only target was their Byakugan!

Ordinary people couldn't see their own chakra points, so they could only release chakra through their hands, feet, or mouth. But a Byakugan user was different!

The members of the Hyuga clan could release chakra from the chakra points all over their bodies, and they have a near-360o field of vision with their Byakugan! With these two abilities, they could unleash a powerful defensive jutsu - the Eight Trigrams: Palm Rotation!

Of course, hard work.alone was not enough to achieve that.

A certain talent was also required.

In addition, Byakugan was also recognized as the strongest observation eye in the Ninja World. It could not only see targets that are one kilometer away, but also provided the users with a somewhat acute vision which enabled them to see the flow of chakra in the opponent's body.

It was precisely because of this ability, the Hyuga clansmen was able to perform their Gentle Fist technique that which could cut off the flow of their opponent's chakra!

Of course, Zhang Miao fancied the Byakugan as well.

"With super-long observation distance, coupled with the near-360o field of vision and the Uzumakis' great perception ability, no one could touch me!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Miao immediately closed the door of his shop, and then headed towards Yakiniku Q.

When Zhang Miao walked inside the restaurant, the Lady Boss greeted him with a warm expression.

"Welcome, Ryunosuke-kun! Same as usual, right?"

"Haha!" Hearing the Lady Boss's words, Zhang Miao immediately laughed and waved at her while laughing.

"No, no, I have an appointment today, I need to be gentle. Maybe I will have ten sets of each type of meat for now!"

"Okay!"

Hearing Zhang Miao's words, the Lady Boss immediately agreed and ordered her staffs to serve Zhang Miao's order.

Not long after his order arrived, Zhang Miao heard a familiar voice next to him

"Sorry for my tardiness, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Hearing this voice, Zhang Miao immediately turned around and found out that it was Hizashi who had arrived.

At this time, he was wearing the white robe that a Hyuga adult men often wear, and holding a 3-year-old boy in his hand who looked like a young Neji.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Miao immediately smiled and waved to him.

"No no no... Actually, I just came here, right, is this your son Neji?"

"Yes!" As soon as Zhang Miao's finished speaking, Hizashi nodded immediately.

"He's the one I was talking about, go greet him, Neji!"

"Yes, father!"

Hearing Hizashi's words, the young Neji nodded immediately, then bowed towards Zhang Miao and saluted.

"Hello, Ryunosuke-sama, my name is Hyuga Neji, and I'm three years old this year. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Uh..." Hearing Neji's words, Zhang Miao was stunned for a moment, then laughed again.

"Hahahaha, as expected of the Hyuga clan, even their children's etiquette is so well done, but this is too outrageous!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Miao immediately stood up and put an arm around Neji's shoulder before grinning at Hizashi.

"Uncle Hizashi, you can just call me Ryu! Uncle Shikaku and the others also call me that. And Neji, you can call me 'Ryu' too!"

"Ryu?" Hearing Zhang Miao's words, the young Neji immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhang Miao curiously, "Can I really call you that, Ryunosuke-sama?"

"Of course!"

Seeing the curious look on Neji's face, Zhang Miao nodded immediately, then gave him a gentle smile.

"Because we are friends. And friends called each other with their first names. How about it? Do you want to be my friend?"

"Friend?" Hearing Zhang Miao's words, the young Neji's eyes widened immediately, his eyes were full of joy, and he nodded vigorously, "I do!"

As soon as Neji finished speaking, the system prompt sounded in Zhang Miao's mind.

"[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Neji's recognition.Obtained 6-star Elite Jonin, Hyuga Neji Ninja Fragment x5!]"

Hearing this prompt, the smile on Zhang Miao's face suddenly brightened.
