Shoi's frustration grew with each failed attempt to harness his chakra. It was as if the energy inside him was a wild beast—powerful, yet impossible to tame.
Seated in a quiet clearing, Shoi's focus was intense, his mind locked on his training. He was so absorbed in his efforts that he failed to notice the figure watching him from the shadows.
Stepping out from behind the trees, Hiashi maintained a calm, composed expression. "You're struggling with something that should come naturally," he stated, his voice slicing through the stillness of the clearing.
Startled, Shoi looked up, his eyes wide. He hadn't sensed anyone nearby, and he quickly rose to his feet, warily studying the man before him. The pale eyes revealed him as a member of the Hyuga clan, but Shoi didn't know who he was.
"Who are you?" Shoi asked, his tone cautious.
He dosent know what a member of Hyuga clan doing here though this place is reletvly close to the village.
"Just someone with experience," he replied, deliberately withholding his identity.
"I noticed your chakra—it's unusually pure. But without proper control, its potential is wasted."
Shoi blinked, surprised. "You can tell that just by looking?"
Hiashi nodded. "With the Byakugan, we can see chakra clearly. Yours is like an untapped well. With the right guidance, you could achieve great things."
Shoi hesitated, uncertain whether to trust this stranger. "Why would you want to help me?"
Hiashi's gaze softened slightly as he began to unfold his plan.
"Because I see potential in you. The Hyuga clan values strength and skill, and it would be a shame to see such potential go unfulfilled.
If you're willing, I can teach you the basics of chakra control. But understand, training with me means committing to a path—one that could lead to greater things."
the temptation of finally mastering his chakra too strong to resist. "I've never had any real training," he confessed. "I don't even know where to start."
"Then we'll begin with the basics," Hiashi said, gesturing for Shoi to sit once more.
As the hours passed, Hiashi guided Shoi through the fundamentals of chakra control. Though inexperienced, Shoi was eager and quick to learn, hanging on to every word.
Under Hiashi's careful instruction, Shoi began to make small but significant progress, feeling the energy within him respond with increasing consistency.
As the sky darkened and the forest grew quiet, Shoi remained focused on his training, unaware of the passing time. The sun had set completely, leaving the clearing bathed in the dim glow of twilight.
Only when the light fully faded did Shoi finally take notice, his concentration breaking as he realized how late it had become.
Hiashi, who had been observing Shoi's progress, noted the late hour and spoke up. "It's getting late. You should return home and rest. Tomorrow, we can continue your training."
Shoi looked up in surprise, having lost track of time. "Yeah, it's late… I should head back." He stood, brushing the dirt from his clothes.
Hiashi's expression remained calm, but his mind was already strategizing the next steps.
"Before you go," he said, his tone measured and controlled, "I have a proposition. If you're serious about mastering your chakra, you should come to the Hyuga clan compound.
We have the resources and the environment to help you reach your full potential."
Shoi's eyes widened at the offer. The prospect of training at the Hyuga compound was beyond anything he had expected.
It was an opportunity not just to improve his skills, but perhaps to fulfill his deeper goals. The thought of receiving proper training was too enticing to refuse.
"That sounds… incredible," Shoi said, trying to keep his excitement in check. "I'd like that."
Hiashi nodded, a subtle smile touching his lips. "Good. I'll send someone to bring you to the compound tomorrow. Prepare yourself."
Shoi nodded eagerly. "I will. Thank you."
Hiashi dismissed the thanks with a simple gesture. "Rest well tonight. You'll need your energy for what's to come."
With that, Shoi gave a respectful nod and turned to leave the clearing, making his way back to the small rural village he called home.
As he walked, his mind buzzed with curiosity and anticipation. Who was this man from the Hyuga clan? He hadn't given his name, but he seemed to know so much.
Despite the questions swirling in his head, Shoi didn't dwell on them for long. The man appeared genuine, and Shoi hadn't sensed any ill intent.
Arriving at his modest house, Shoi felt the cool night air settle around him as he stepped inside. A mix of nervousness and excitement filled him as he thought about what tomorrow might bring.
Meanwhile, Hiashi made his way back to the Hyuga compound, his plan falling neatly into place. Shoi had taken the bait, and now all Hiashi needed to do was continue guiding him toward the future he had envisioned.
With Shoi and Hanabi potentially working together, the future of the Hyuga clan could be more secure than ever. Hiashi's steps were steady.
