Chapter 13 Is He Worth Two Million Taels?

Prev ChapterNext ChapterAdvertisement

Early in the morning, before the sky was completely clear, the door of Hyuga's house was pushed open.

Hyuga Hiashi left in a hurry with big dark circles under his eyes.

Because of Feng'an, he didn't sleep well all night. As soon as he fell asleep, he would dream about his daughter Hinata and Feng'an flirting every day.

Especially since the two of them had to talk to each other half-heartedly.

Fortunately, every time at this time, Hyuga Hiashi would wake up.

He couldn't wait any longer, he had to let Yuhi Hong kick Feng An away.

He was very fast, jumping up and down on the roof, choosing the shortest way to move forward in a straight line.

Many people were awakened by the movement on the roof before they even got up.

Needless to say, he knew it was the group of ninjas, and the people greeted his family with curses.

But as long as Hyuga Hiashi moves too fast, the sound cannot enter his ears.

"Whoosh." Hyuga Hiashi jumped from the roof and came to Yuhi Hong's residence.

Yuhi Hong, who was watering the flowers, felt someone coming to the door.

She poked her head out of the window and saw Hyuga Hiashi standing there with anxiety written on his face.

Yuhi Kurenai was a little confused. She knew that Hyuga Hiashi was the leader of the Hyuga clan, but they didn't have much interaction with each other.

"Why are you here?"

Hyuga Hiashi saw Yuhi Kurenai's head sticking out.

He hurriedly stepped forward: "Hong, I have something to tell you."

As soon as he came closer, Yuhi Hong saw the dark circles on his eyes.

"Come in and talk."

Yuhi Hong put down the watering can in her hand and opened the door.

After coming in, Hyuga Hiashi didn't want to rest for a moment, and immediately said:

"Hong, can the student named Feng'an be transferred to another small class?"

Yuhi Hong raised her eyebrows.

She was still confused at first, but now she understood why Hyuga Hiashi came so early.

As a parent, he is here to beat the mandarin ducks.

"Senior, Feng'an's situation is very special."

"I know that he has no teacher willing to take him. Don't worry, I can send an elite from our clan to teach him."

Hyuga Hiashi thought that Yuhi Hong was thinking about the relationship between teacher and student, so he proposed that he would let his tribe help him.

But he deliberately said it very vaguely, the elite of the clan, who knows whether the elite he was talking about was at the level of Jōnin or Chūnin.

He thought that his sincerity was enough, because he had already inquired about Feng'an, who was just a loser in school, with mediocre qualifications and no talent.

However, Yuhi Hong just shook her head.

"Senior, you misunderstood. What I meant was that Feng'an is a special being. In my opinion, he is worth cultivating."

Hyuga Hiashi was startled. He never thought that he would be rejected.

By giving up a crane tail, you can have a good relationship with the leader of the Hyuga clan, the strongest in Konoha. This kind of deal is a sure profit.

He thought about it and felt that it was Yuhi Hong who saw what happened between Hinata and Feng An and predicted that he would come to her, so she was using excuses to get benefits.

It can't be that Feng'an is really talented, right?

After thinking about it, Hyuga Hiashi calmed down a lot and raised the corner of his mouth. If she just wanted benefits, she could easily be satisfied with the foundation of the Hyuga clan.

"Afterwards, I will give you one million taels in my own name."

Yuhi Hong frowned: "What do you think I am?"

not enough?

Hyuga Hiashi said in a low voice: "Two million taels."

In his opinion, the price was far beyond the expectation of spending for a crane tailgate, but for the sake of his daughter, he was willing to let himself lose some money.

Yuhi Hong's soft eyes turned cold.

"I don't know where this junior misunderstood my senior, thinking that I am a person who sells students. Please go back."

Hyuga Hiashi's face was ashen. He didn't expect that the other party had such a big appetite. Two million taels was not enough!

Only S-level tasks can reach more than one million taels, and this is a task that can only be accepted by Kage-level.

Kurenai Yuhi has just been promoted to Jōnin not long ago. Even if she is extremely powerful and can complete A-level tasks by herself. An A-level usually costs 150,000 taels. She still has to do a dozen tasks to earn two million taels.

The danger and time cost of the task are also discarded here.

Even if she were to do a B-level mission that usually costs 80,000 taels, she would have to spend more time, and the danger was self-evident.

If she gave up high risks and pursued low profits, and did 30,000 taels of C-level tasks and 5,000 taels of D-level tasks, it would take about three months of continuous work to earn two million taels.

He stood up suddenly and said in a cold voice: "Hmph, people are so weak that they can swallow elephants like snakes. Is a useless student worth two million taels?"

Yuhi Kurenai knew that the other party was the leader of the Hyuga clan, so she always politely called him "senpai" and did not want to antagonize him.

But in Yuhi Hong's view, his behavior was an insult to herself.

Yuhi Hong also stood up and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "Feng'an is the student I like. In my opinion, he is no worse than Hyuga Neji."

Hyuga Neji has been dubbed the most talented boy of the Hyuga clan since he entered school. However, only the Hyuga clan knows what a big joke this is. Hyuga's reputation was actually made by the geniuses of the branch house.

Hyuga Hiashi looks ugly, and Hyuga Neji has always been a thorn in his heart.

Although Hyuga Neji is a branch house, he also has to admit the other party's talent.

"How can a loser who barely graduated from a ninja school surpass Neji?"

In his opinion, this was just Yuhi Hong's excuse for her greed, but the excuse was too ridiculous.

Kurenai Yuhi looked at him coldly and said, "The trash in your mouth has learned the Great Fireball Technique."

"It's just a C-level ninjutsu. It only shows that he works hard."

"Have you ever seen the newly graduated Genin randomly release the Great Fireball Technique with a diameter of five meters?"

Hyuga Hiashi chuckled: "Huh, so what if it's five meters?"

Wait.

"Five meters in diameter?!"

Hyuga Hiashi's eyes widened.

Being able to release a fireball with a diameter of five meters is enough to prove that the opponent has mastered the Great Fireball Technique. Even the genius Uchiha Sasuke, who is as well-known as Neji, has a hard time doing it.

Five meters is already Feng'an's restraint. In fact, he can easily spit out a ten-meter fireball, and the Chakra consumed is comparable to a drop in a bucket.

Isn't he really a waste?

Hyuga Hiashi felt a little weird.

"Then why does he want to establish an image of being the tail end of a crane?"

Yuhi Hong also shook her head slightly: "I don't know, maybe it's because of his personality."

Hyuga Hiashi's face was soothing: "Sorry, I just misunderstood, and my tone was a bit harsh."

"Junior knows that you are eager to protect your daughter. Senior, don't worry, I won't let them do whatever they want."

Seeing that the other party took the initiative to apologize, Yuhi Kurenai also gave the other party a step, and at the same time gave him a reassurance that she would take more care of Hinata.

Whether he will take care of Hinata and the others afterward depends on Yuga Hiashi's own mood, and it is impossible for Hyuga Hiashi to take care of her.

"It's a lot of trouble."

Hyuga Hiashi turned and left.

He now urgently needs to verify whether what Yuhi Hong said is true.

He quickened his pace towards home.

"What Ruohong said is true..."

Hyuga Hiashi shouted anxiously as soon as he rushed home.

"Hinata, is Hinata up?"

Hinata, wearing black lining, poked her head out of the room.

She wiped her wet hair with a towel.

"Father, are you looking for me?"

Hyuga Hiashi walked up to her in one stride.

"Hinata, how do you feel about Feng'an's daily life?"

"Huh?" Hinata was a little confused.

Why does his father care about Feng'an?

"Very, very good, handsome, and good at taking care of others."

"Stop it." Hyuga Hiashi said with a black line on his face, "Who asked you this? I mean you are usually in Class 8 with him. How is his ability?"

Hinata suddenly understood and nodded.

"He is usually very diligent. Oh yes, he has mastered the C-level ninjutsu Great Fireball Technique."

It seems that what Yuhi Kurenai said is true.

Hyuga Hiashi nodded and said, "Is there anything else special about him?"

"He's also very fast, I don't know about the rest..."

"ok, I get it."

Hyuga Hiashi turned and left.

"Let's wait until the Chūnin exam and see."

He thought silently in his mind.

He doesn't expect Feng'an to surpass Neji, and as long as he performs better, he won't stop them anymore.

After all, she is his daughter, and he can see that Hinata really likes him, and that boy Feng'an doesn't seem to be a libertine, otherwise Hinata wouldn't have liked him for so long.

He knew that Hinata's talent could no longer support the rise of the Hyuga clan, so he had to spend time cultivating her younger sister Hyuga Hanabi.

"Will the elders of the clan watch Hinata being with outsiders?"

In order to ensure that the Byakugan is not lost, the Hyuga clan has always had intermarriage within the clan.

Hyuga Hiashi shook his head, not thinking about these distant things.

If the elders of the clan are still afraid of losing Baiyan's bloodline after Feng'an shows his strength, even if his clan leader is inappropriate, he will let his daughter choose her own life.

…

Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Feng'an spent every day boringly in the task of catching thieves and finding cats and dogs that Yuhihong accepted.

At the same time, he did not slack off in practicing illusions and Chakra control.

Today is also the last day of the bet between Feng'an and Yuhihong.

"Have you really learned it?"

Hinata followed Feng An, and the two walked towards Yuhi Hong's house.

"Of course, otherwise wouldn't I be humiliating myself by looking for her?"

Hinata clenched her little hand into a fist to block the smile at the corner of her mouth.

During this week, the two of them became closer and closer while doing tasks.

Her father, Hyuga Hiashi, had not hindered their interactions since he asked Hinata about Feng'an that day.

The two of them arrived at Yuhi Hong's residence side by side.

Feng'an stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Teacher Hong, I'm here to keep your appointment."

But no one responded.

"Roll your eyes."

Hinata opened her Byakugan and looked into the back room, finding no signs of Chakra flowing in the room.

She shook her head and said, "Teacher Hong is not at home."

"Then where did she go?"

Feng An leaned against the wall and the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong.

He mastered two illusions within a week, but Yuhi Hong happened to give them a day off on the last day to let them have a good rest.

Is Hong trying to cheat?

No, I'm just squatting here today. I don't believe you won't go home at noon.

…

On the other hand, Yuhi Kurenai was helplessly accepting Sarutobi Asuma's clumsy hospitality.

She didn't believe that Feng An could master illusion within a week, so she forgot that today was the last day of the bet between her and Feng An.

Kurenai Yuhi and Sarutobi Asuma were sitting in a shop.

Sarutobi Asuma hurriedly carried several plates with fruit salad and some snacks on them.

Yuhi Kurenai, on the other hand, held her pretty face with both hands and looked helplessly at Asuma's ugly appearance.

"Can't you just pick up one plate at a time?"

"Yes, yes..."

After Asuma put the dinner plate on the table, he awkwardly put his hand on the back of his neck.

Then he carefully pricked the apple pieces with toothpicks and handed them to Yuhi Kurenai.

After Yuhihong opened her mouth and swallowed, she still rolled her eyes at him helplessly: "Aren't you usually quite smart?"

"As soon as I saw red, I couldn't think straight," Asuma responded.

Hearing his words, Yuhi Hong's lips curled up, but she quickly suppressed them.

If other people had said this, Hong would have thought it was glib, but she had known Asuma for a long time, and she naturally knew that the reason why a clumsy person like Asuma could say such things was because he was simply answering questions.

"Oh, I really don't know whether to call you stupid or dumb?"

Yuhi Hong sighed inwardly.

However, every time Yumugoda occasionally enlightens her, it always makes her smile.

…

On the other side, Feng An and Hinata squatted in front of Yuhi Hong's house.

If Feng An doesn't leave, Hinata will naturally be here to accompany him.

The two of them squatted in front of her house and had lunch.

Feng'an swallowed the eel rice with fierce eyes. It seemed that what he was swallowing was not the eel rice, but his dissatisfaction with Yuhi Kurenai.

"Slow down, you'll choke."

At this moment, Feng'an suddenly stopped what he was saying and quickly straightened his back.

He literally choked.

This is no wonder Hinata, it is easier to choke when eating while squatting than sitting down.

Hinata saw this and quickly handed over the water.

At the same time, pat his back gently.

Feng'an straightened his back and drank a few sips of water before he recovered.

He turned his head and looked at Hinata sincerely.

"Fortunately you are here, otherwise I would have died unjustly."

Hinata shyly picked up the rice in her bowl, not meeting his eyes.

After being almost stabbed to death by Unagi Rice this time, he attributed all his dissatisfaction and hatred to Yuhi Kurenai.

"I don't believe it, you won't come back at night."

He had made up his mind that if she didn't come back by night, he would set her house on fir
