The Sharingan Hyuga - Volume 1 Chapter 29 Shuichi's Opponent Confirmed
After he went home, He found out that Hanabi is sleeping on the floor while reading. He sighed and entered her room. He picked her up and put her on the bed and covered her with the blanket. He arranged the books.
He looked around and sighed again “this little girl made a mess of her room again”. He took the books which were spread all around the floor and neatly arranged them into a shelf. He turns off the light and left. Later, he went to his room and slept without eating dinner.
Hiashi came a bit late. When he found the leftover rice and other things. He thought “It’s the same amount”. He went and knocked on the door. but Shuichi didn’t answer. He checked the room with byakugan “He slept?”.
Next day, Hiashi went to his room in the morning but he was already gone. Then, he found even Hanabi wasn’t in her room.
The guard said they both went in the morning somewhere. Hiashi mumbled “They probably gone to visit Hinata. I wonder how is she doing”.
Meanwhile, at the hospital
when they both reached the hospital, Hinata wasn’t awake yet. Shuichi looked at his shadow clone who was sitting near her all night. He nodded and it disappeared.
Then, the clone’s memories entered his brain. He frowned “Lee? and who is that kid? hmm? Naruto? that kid doesn’t seem to be from Konoha. But his chakra is off the charts like Naruto. another jinchuuriki?”.
He immediately retrieved the information he gathered from the hidden sound. “So, he is the Sand jinchuuriki they were planning to release on Konoha?. I already passed the information. so, what will Hokage sama do now?”.
“But before that, I forgot about the privilege that one would get when he completed 12 tasks. I should visit the Hokage soon. No, it isn’t the time yet. Yakumo has to wait for a little bit longer”.
Later, After Hinata woke up, they chatted for a while. Then, an hour later, one after another, few people came to visit her. Then Team 7 and her two teammates came together.
“Naruto kun, I want to talk to you”. Naruto nodded seriously and after they both went outside. naruto spoke “I know what you want to talk. but she’s my friend. I never give…”. “Sorry”. “What?”. “I’m sorry about yesterday. I shouldn’t have blamed you for all that. I know you were always a positive influence on her. I…”
Naruto smiled “It doesn’t matter. whether it’s becoming Hokage or whether it’s a mission or whether it’s my friend. I’m not gonna run away and I never go back on my word, that is my nindo! My ninja way!”
Shuichi smiled and changed the topic “by the way, did you know who your opponent is?”.
He shook his head “Don’t know. but I wished it was Neji. ah! “. He stopped when he remembered Shuichi’s warning.
“don’t worry. I already gave my share. but I don’t think he will regret it. That trash would instead believe since I have sharingan with byakugan and I know every jutsu he possesses, it’s his fate to get defeated by me”.
“Anyway, I’m going to Hokage sama to find out about my opponent”. “wait for me. I will come with you”. “But anyway, I won’t hold back if you turned out to be my opponent”. “you bet”. “Haha”.
Later, at the Hokage Office. Shuichi was disappointed upon seeing the list and then asked “Say, Naruto. who is this Temari?”. “Em..a girl with a fan?”.
The first match is Neji vs Naruto. second is Gaara vs Sasuke, the third is Temari vs Shuichi and the last one is Shikamaru vs Shino.
“you are truly unlucky Naruto. even if you win against Neji, you have to face either Sasuke or that sand’s jinchuuriki?”.
“Jinchuu…what?”. While Naruto was surprised, Hokage was also surprised. Shuichi looked at Hokage and told him about his Shadow clone and Gaara’s visit in his next room.
“But Naruto. didn’t you even know the term Jinchuuriki?”. while Naruto looking clueless, Shuichi said, “wow, you are probably the first jinchuuriki who don’t the term”. “Huh?”.
“hmm?”. Shuichi was confused to see Naruto clueless. He turned to Hokage “Didn’t he even know about it?”.
Hokage sighed “Shuichi kun, it isn’t the time yet”. Naruto asked, “What are you talking about?”. “To put it simply, he is just like you. Not an idiot part. but the other part”.
He expected Naruto to be surprised “I know. When I saw his eyes, I saw it. He’s just like me. The only difference was I have friends. but seemed like he doesn’t have any”.
While they were returning,
Shuichi replied “well, there’s more to the truth. but anyway, understand that he is the most dangerous one. but seriously, you need to go training. I heard that Kakashi sensei hasn’t trained you guys much in the past three months. Train hard Naruto and beat him for me and Hinata.
If he gets defeated by you, only then he will understand that fate is something that we decide with our hand.
But after facing defeat in my hands, he will train hard and by the time of final rounds, he will be stronger than you can imagine. So, you must not slack in your training”.
He replied in a determined voice “I know. I will have to train harder to defeat Neji”.
Later, Hiashi visited Hinata and left with Shuichi while leaving his Guards and Hanabi with her. “Shuichi, about yesterday”. Shuichi waved his hand “It’s okay, father. I’m just emotionally unstable”.
“It’s not your fault. it’s because of your sharingan”. “yeah. I know. I figured it out after waking up. I want to know if there’s a method to solve my problem”.
“Just rest for a few days. After your heart calmed down, you can continue your daily training”. “Yeah, I guess”. then, they talk many things while walking together.
After parting with his Father, he roamed the streets and coincidentally, he found Yakumo, Sai and yugao. Then, he told them his plans for the next month.
Then, Next day he asked hiashi “Father, I want to go outside of Konoha for training”. “hmm, where?. you can just train here”. “It’s Mt. Kumagadake, the place I told you about”. “Oh! Bear clan’s place?. but why there?”.
“No special reason. I just want to train there in peace. there won’t be anyone to disturb my training. Also, the elder bear I told you about might have some solution to my problem, after all, they were more than 1000 years old”.
Hiashi too didn’t found any problem with that. Then asked “say, can you complete that jutsu within a month?”. Shuichi nodded “I have shadow clones to practise. and the time will be more than sufficient”. “good”.
