After Shimizu returned home.
Natsu Hyuga came to visit.
"How is she considering it?" Shimizu Uchiha asked calmly.
Ginka Hyuga was being somewhat difficult. She had been considering such a minor matter for so long; Shimizu was gradually losing his patience. If she didn't agree soon, he would have to use more forceful means.
"The Lady said that she could give you some of the more core teachings of the Gentle Fist style, in the hopes that you will cure Nobuhiko-sama."
"Not enough," Shimizu rejected directly. "Go back and tell her: the final deadline is three months."
"...Yes," Natsu Hyuga replied softly.
Seeing her demeanor, Shimizu tossed out a sealing scroll.
Natsu Hyuga opened it with confusion, only to find a set of extremely revealing clothing inside. Having received a traditional, feudal upbringing, Natsu's face instantly flushed crimson. These clothes wouldn't cover anything at all.
"Put it on, then perform a set of Gentle Fist for me. I want to inspect your progress from this past period."
"But..." Natsu Hyuga felt this was too humiliating.
However, meeting Shimizu's pitch-black eyes, she couldn't bring herself to utter a refusal. She didn't dare to refuse.
She began to go through the moves of the Gentle Fist, making no attempt to hide the techniques from Shimizu, who was stealing the knowledge.
"Next time, make that woman, Ginka Hyuga, come along as well. The Main House's Gentle Fist style should be even more refined."
Shimizu watched Natsu with satisfaction, beginning to copy and learn the techniques. The Gentle Fist, the hidden secret of the Hyuga Clan, was now being easily acquired by Shimizu.
The Hyuga Clan Compound.
Natsu Hyuga returned to the Hyuga clan holding the sealing scroll Shimizu had given her. Her mind was still echoing with those shameful movements she had performed. It could practically be described as lewd.
"How can such clothes exist?" Natsu's face felt burning hot.
But the moment she thought of Shimizu's instructions, she felt a dark sense of satisfaction. Because... the next one would be Ginka Hyuga.
Natsu knocked lightly on the door and, upon receiving permission, entered.
"What did Shimizu Uchiha say?"
Ginka Hyuga was draped in a loose robe, her face holding a trace of anticipation.
"Shimizu said for the Lady to change into this outfit and then go find him."
Natsu handed the sealing scroll to Ginka.
Ginka's face turned beet red in an instant. What on earth was this? Could these three points of fabric even be considered clothes? It was simply licentious and immoral!
Slap!
In a fit of rage, Ginka Hyuga threw the sealing scroll onto the floor.
"Not even a prostitute would wear such clothes."
Natsu, who was kneeling on the floor, frowned slightly. She felt as though Ginka was pointing at the mulberry tree to curse the locust tree—mocking her indirectly. Because she had done exactly that.
"To do it or not is up to you, My Lady," Natsu said, bowing formally before standing up and exiting the room.
"That cheap woman."
Ginka Hyuga's face twisted, her beautiful features turning somewhat vicious. Ever since Natsu Hyuga had secured Shimizu Uchiha's backing, she had stopped taking Ginka's words seriously. She even frequently helped Shimizu transmit intelligence regarding the Branch House. If it weren't for the fact that Natsu didn't have the right to know the matters discussed by the Main House, she probably would have sold out the Main House as well.
But after venting her emotions, Ginka thought of Nobuhiko Hyuga's lifeless eyes, and a wrenching pain gripped her heart. She retrieved the sealing scroll, holding the outfit—which was essentially just a few strips of cloth connected together—in her hands to examine it.
"Is Ginka in?"
Suddenly, a voice came from outside, the tone soft and gentle.
Startled, Ginka Hyuga stuffed the clothes into her sleeve pocket.
Click.
The door opened. A classically beautiful but sickly woman walked in.
"Hinatsuki, you were looking for...?" Ginka greeted her in a slight panic. She didn't know if Hinatsuki had seen the object in her hands. If outsiders found out, it wouldn't take long for rumors to spread that she was a loose woman.
The woman before her was Hiashi Hyuga's fiancée. Hiashi was the Clan Head. In other words, Hinatsuki Hyuga was the woman who would become the matriarch; her status was far above Ginka's. She was not someone Ginka could afford to offend.
"I just came to find... cough cough, catch up with you, Ginka."
Hinatsuki Hyuga coughed lightly, her chest heaving slightly. Her skin was as pale as porcelain, exuding a fragile beauty, as if she might shatter if one wasn't careful. Her long, raven-black hair accentuated her slender frame.
"I'm about to marry Hiashi. When the time comes, let's hold your wedding and mine together."
Hinatsuki's eyes flowed with anticipation for the future.
"Nobuhiko, he..." Ginka's eyes dimmed slightly.
Without Shimizu's treatment, Nobuhiko Hyuga's current condition could only be considered barely stable, and his vision was declining at a slow pace. If she didn't agree to Shimizu's unreasonable demands soon, Nobuhiko would...
"I believe Nobuhiko will recover. Isn't that Uchiha genius very formidable?"
Hinatsuki's voice was soft and delicate, carrying a hint of weakness. She had been frail and sickly since birth, so she rarely went out. However, she had heard of Shimizu's reputation. So, she thought perhaps Shimizu Uchiha was an incredible healer. After all, the last healer she knew of by reputation was Princess Tsunade.
"Yes," Ginka's lips twitched slightly.
He was formidable, alright, but he wouldn't treat him. What was the use of being formidable?
Her hand under the low table fingered the strips of cloth in her sleeve; Ginka Hyuga felt a sense of powerlessness.
"Natsu."
Tetsu Hyuga called out. Seeing Natsu had suddenly been out for such a long time, he was suspicious and felt uneasy. She hadn't gone to find that Shimizu Uchiha guy again, had she?
"Is something the matter, Tetsu?"
Natsu wiped a fine layer of sweat from her forehead. Shimizu had made her perform the Gentle Fist so many times, and then she had rushed back here without stopping. She hadn't even had time to rest.
"Did you go looking for that guy again?" Tetsu frowned. Seeing the woman he liked going to the home of someone he detested made him very uncomfortable.
"Tetsu, I hope that in the future you won't call him that. It's Shimizu-sama... or Shimizu-kun. It is very impolite."
Natsu turned and walked away.
Tetsu Hyuga stood there, stunned. This was the first time Natsu had spoken such distancing words to him. All for that pretty boy.
"Why!"
Tetsu hammered the hallway wall. Resentment toward Shimizu rose in his heart. If not for Shimizu Uchiha, he and Natsu would have been living happily together long ago.
His eyes flickered uncertainly. He had to warn Shimizu Uchiha soon.
Shimizu's House, Laboratory.
[Current count is one. Do you wish to start the Perfect Life Simulation?]
Looking at the prompt before him, Shimizu walked out of the laboratory and into the bedroom.
"Start simulation."
[Ding. Perfect Life Simulation in progress...]
[Day 1: You depart for Sunagakure.]
[Day 85: You see Rasa's daughter, Temari.]
[Day 86: You discover Tetsu Hyuga loitering near the Uchiha settlement.]
[Day 87: You discover Yūgao Uzuki trying to strike up a conversation with Guren; she is the one actively sucking up to her.]
[Day 88: Mikoto Uchiha is walking on the streets of the Uchiha settlement. You see her buying some baby food. Mikoto also notices you watching her; her eyes are filled with a sense of conflict. You find it baffling.]
[Day 89: Fugaku Uchiha seeks you out to apply pressure.]
[Day 91: You are eating noodles at Ichiraku Ramen. Hayate Gekkō coughs up blood next to you, vomiting into his ramen.]
[Day 93: You encounter the Iburi Clan. You use the Cursed Seal to help them stabilize their smoke-form bodies. They pledge loyalty to you. Among them, you see a girl named Yukimi. Her brother, Tenzō, indeed looks just like Yamato, with thick eyebrows and big eyes.]
[Day 94: You cure the freckles on Yukimi's face. Guren accidentally discovers Yukimi and reveals killing intent toward her. You strictly warn Guren that she is not allowed to kill people indiscriminately.]
[Day 452: Minato Namikaze promotes you to captain of one of the ANBU squads, assigning you to protect Kushina.]
[Day 453: The Cursed Seal of Heaven and the Cursed Seal of Earth seem to repel each other. You are thinking of a way to solve this.]
[Day 682: You shift your focus to Sealing Jutsu. By this time, your attainments in Sealing Jutsu are already quite high.]
[Day 722: Your Summoning Jutsu has become profound.]
[Day 819: You discover that the Summoning Jutsu works by engraving a sealing formula onto the surface of an object to form a summon. However, the air actually contains very sparse matter. If you can project the sealing formula remotely, could you achieve an effect similar to Sasuke's Rinnegan technique, "Amenotejikara"? Seeing a location and instantly engraving the Summoning Jutsu formula there—wouldn't that form a simplified version of the Flying Thunder God Technique? Is the white pigeon your Flying Thunder God formula?]
[Day 820: You extract your own genetic information to conduct Cursed Seal research.]
[Day 821: Kushina has morning sickness.]
[Day 822: Guren is getting bigger, in every sense of the word. You nod secretly.]
[Day 967: Orochimaru comes to find you for cooperation. You go to his laboratory. Orochimaru launches a surprise attack on you. You anticipated this, beat Orochimaru up, and stole all his research data. Orochimaru flees, lingering on his last breath.]
[Day 968: Anko Mitarashi's Cursed Seal is hurting. You help her remove the Cursed Seal. In this aspect, you have already become a Cursed Seal Master.]
[Day 969: A naive Itachi runs over to ask you why you are bullying his mother. You say that Uncle is helping his mother adjust her body.]
[Day 970: Mikoto forbids Itachi from contacting you. Itachi has been a rebellious seed since childhood; he is very curious why he can't, so he comes to find you again. Regarding this, you attempt to make Itachi feel more belonging toward the Uchiha Clan.]
[Day 971: Yamato develops a vague feeling for Yukimi. He goes to ask Kakashi for advice. Kakashi comes to find you. The Kakashi before you has become increasingly haggard over the years.]
[Day 1043: You find the Flying Thunder God Technique scroll left behind by Minato Namikaze. You begin practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique.]
[Day 1053: Benefiting from your solid foundation in Sealing Jutsu, your understanding of the Flying Thunder God Technique advances by leaps and bounds, and you gradually master it.]
[Day 1054: The priestess of the Land of Demons, who is also the Daimyō, Miroku, comes to Konohagakure. You secretly go to find her and incidentally meet Shion. Shion is naturally very close to you. You are very happy; she is your caring little angel. Subsequently, you feel a sense of guilt; after all, you are a scumbag.]
[Day 1622: Izumi Uchiha asks Hazuki Uchiha who her father is. Hazuki Uchiha speaks ambiguously. She comes to find you because you often go to Hazuki Uchiha's house to see Hazuki. Your relationship is very familiar.]
[Day 1623: Izumi Uchiha walks home with Itachi Uchiha. You complain to Mikoto, saying children shouldn't have puppy love. After saying this, you drag Izumi Uchiha away.]
[Day 1742: You encounter Jigen. He says you are an interesting Uchiha and that he hasn't seen a descendant with such a rich bloodline aura in a long time.]
[Day 2000: Guren harbors improper intentions toward you; looking at you with eyes full of desire.]
[Simulation Ended. Calculating settlement...]
[Please choose one as a reward: Flying Thunder God Technique (Experience Memory), Black Receiver created by Rinnegan * 1, Four Symbols Seal.]
"Flying Thunder God Technique!"
Shimizu looked at the rewards above. He had waited three years upon three years, and finally, he had waited out the Flying Thunder God Technique.
The other two rewards had value, but neither was as high as the Flying Thunder God.
The Black Receiver, also known as the Chakra Receiver. When inserted into an opponent's body, it can block the acupuncture points used to mold chakra, seal the opponent's movements, and disrupt them. It is also effective against Tailed Beasts.
Chakra Black Receivers are divided into those made by Yin-Yang Release and those made by the power of the Rinnegan.
The effects produced vary depending on the user. For example, Madara Uchiha had a deep understanding of Yin-Yang Release, so he could use the Black Receivers to seal enemies. That sealing power was such that Tobirama Senju was greatly surprised when he saw Sasuke touch the Black Receiver without being affected.
The Black Receivers used by Obito were not as powerful as Madara's.
Currently, Shimizu did not lack offensive means, so there was no need to choose it.
As for the Four Symbols Seal at the end. The databook description is: Used when sealing powerful enemies or demons; a sealing jutsu that utilizes the cycle of the four symbols to seal evil.
Minato Namikaze used the Four Symbols Seal to seal the Nine-Tails' chakra inside Naruto.
Even this method, he did not lack. Shimizu didn't want to be a Jinchūriki. A Ten-Tails Jinchūriki might be acceptable, but that was not chakra that the Four Symbols Seal could contain. That required the Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal.
Shimizu immediately said, "I choose the Flying Thunder God Technique."
[Distributing Flying Thunder God Technique (Experience Memory)...]
Shimizu felt a stream of information entering his mind. It was as if he had practiced the Flying Thunder God Technique for thousands of days; everything was imprinted into his brain.
"So that's how it's done."
Shimizu whistled, summoning a white pigeon. Under its bewildered gaze, he engraved the Flying Thunder God formula onto it.
His Flying Thunder God formula involved a pattern of three tomoe, looking very much like a Sharingan or perhaps the Cursed Seal of Heaven.
