Konoha: Archers of the Hyuga family

"This thing is too big for a small body like you to use."

The old lady stepped forward and took the thing off.

Only then did Hinata Kumikawa see clearly that it was a folded long bow. It was about 1.7 meters long when unfolded, which was about the same height as an adult man. The bowstring was placed in a box beside it and could be hung directly when in use.

For my height of just over 1.1 meters, it is indeed a bit too big.

It can reach up to the chin when folded.

There is nothing ninja-like about such a big thing.

but i like...

"how much is it?"

"Not big, but ambitious~"

The old lady teased, assembling the bow and placing it in Hinata Kumikawa's hand, gesturing for him to try the feel first.

Take it and pull the bowstring...

Well, with his current short arms and short legs, he can't pull it open at all. Unless he pulls the string with his hands and pedals with his feet, he can reproduce a wave of Nezha shooting Shiji and her apprentice. In other postures, his wingspan is completely insufficient.

Also, it takes quite a bit of force to pull apart.

Now Hinata Kumokawa's power is not enough.

As a result, he originally thought that he should be able to pull away a little if not completely, but in fact he couldn't pull away at all.

But Hinata Kumikawa really likes it...

"Even so, do you still want to buy it?"

"Tell me the price, boss."

"800 taels."

"..."

Hinata Yunchuan handed the long bow back to the old man, turned away and said, "I'll look at something else..."

"You didn't even counteroffer~"

The old lady smiled, but did not put the long bow back on the top of the cabinet. Instead, she held it in her hand and gently plucked the bow string——

hum!

The vibration of the bowstring indicates the force transmitted by the bowstring.

"This is the work of an old friend during his lifetime. He was also a ninja. He especially admired the second generation. He once saw the Thunder God Sword, so he spent half his life studying how to combine chakra with weapons. In the end, he left several works... …This bow is one of them, named Huoyuanliming.”

Hinata Kumokawa raised his head and looked at the old lady seriously.

Respect between people...

Since the boss talked about the origin of the ninja tool, he must have other purposes. If he just said that there would be no price reduction, that would be too idle... So, he was waiting for the old lady to finish talking and quickly decided to sell it to him at a cheaper price.

It is not unacceptable if it is given for free.

"...It is both the most successful work and the most unsuccessful work. Ninjas have countless means of attack, and bows and arrows are contrary to the way ninjas move. To obtain the same attack effect requires more effort."

The old lady held the long bow and seemed to see the face of her old man.

After a while, his eyes became clear again.

"Since you want it, it's not impossible to give it away for free, little guy~"

"Then, what do I have to pay?"

Since the old man said that, the meaning of "free gift" is definitely not free prostitution. There is a high probability that what is paid is something more precious than money.

"This is a weapon that can be driven by chakra. To exert its power, it must be paired with special arrows. It is difficult to make. For the time being, it seems... I should be the only one who can do it."

"I can volunteer at the store."

“A small shop like mine doesn’t need any volunteers~”

The old lady's smile became more kind, as if she was amused by Hinata Kumokawa's innocent answer.

"Would you like to be my disciple?"

"..."

Hinata Kumokawa was puzzled.

Although it is obvious that the old lady was indeed a very powerful ninja in the past, becoming a disciple... is different from leading a team of jounin. One is the master and the other is the teacher. The former is Jiraiya and the latter is Kaka. West.

There can be many teachers, from the school to the one who works alone, one at a time. Most of the time, they are responsible for cultivating the consciousness of ninjas and will not deeply interfere with the students' hard power.

But the master is different. He needs to help his disciples improve their comprehensive strength in all aspects, and most ninjas will only have one master in their lives.

In general, for the Hyuga family, the masters are all masters of the family, and outsiders cannot teach the use of soft fists and white eyes.

Therefore, Hinata Kumikawa was really surprised.

"These detonating symbols, and these scrolls... I may not be able to give you any powerful ninjutsu, but I can teach you all the psychic sealing techniques I have learned throughout my life."

"...I will."

People have said that, what else can Hinata Kumikawa do?

Anyway, he didn't intend to rely on soft fist to support his physical strength. After all, no matter how powerful he practiced, it was just a simplified version of Baguazhang.

He is not a true genius like Kakashi, and he cannot be like Obito, whose strength immediately took off after the death of his girlfriend. He does not have the physical talent suitable for practicing Eight Gate Dungeon like Kai...

Prop flow may be a development direction.

Moreover, in the future, I can make detonating talismans, starting from 500 taels per piece. If I really can’t become a ninja, I can still make a lot of money lying flat in the village.

Moreover, there is another most crucial thing.

The Caged Bird Curse Seal is also a type of sealing technique...

"But I don't know your name yet."

"My name is Zaoda Ya, and I was a native of the Uzumaki Country before the establishment of Konoha Village. What about you, little one?"

"Hyuga Kumokawa, I just graduated today~"

……

……

When he arrived at the door of his house, there was a large scroll behind Hinata Kumikawa.

The longbow is still in the shop, but you can directly use the scroll to channel it, as long as Hinata Kumikawa can do it... Nonsense, of course it can be done, what is the difference between this and the Substitution Technique in essence.

The only bad thing is...

It is now afternoon.

I didn't make it in time for lunch. I wonder if my mother will worry about me.

Pushing open a crack in the door, he carefully probed...

A big slap in the face!

Hinata Kumokawa quickly used his body to knock open the door, and used a palm-to-palm attack to forcefully attack him. He then used the opponent's strength to float back and landed firmly on the low wall opposite.

"That's a lot of progress, Yunchuan!"

"Of course~"

Hinata Kumokawa jumped down from the wall and fist bumped with the man standing at the door.

That's right, this guy is Hinata Tatsumi, the cheap dad of Hinata Kumikawa. He is 26 this year and his looks are not bad... After all, the genes of the Hinata family are there. He can't be ugly even if he wants to. He is 1.7 meters [-], just right. The standard of "disabled".

In order to facilitate movement, keep your hair short and wrap it with a light blue scarf to prevent the hair from falling off and leaving traces.

The clothes he wears are ordinary Chuunin green vests.

Although he is already a special jounin, Hinata Kumokawa cannot tell the difference between a jounin vest and a chuunin vest, or there may be no difference at all. Everyone is issued a set of vests when they are promoted to chunin, and then the jonin becomes another one. Give me a set of the same one to wash...

Judging from his appearance alone, he seems quite aloof.

After all, you stare at whichever way your eyes roll, and as long as you don't move or speak, who can read your eyes... It's hard not to be aloof, unless you move.

But let me tell you something, the soft fist movements are also quite pretentious~

……

Hinata Tatsumi suddenly noticed the forehead protector on his son's head. He raised his hand and flicked it. The metal felt clear, and his expression was instantly serious.

"You brat, where did you get that forehead protector?"
