Hearing this, Renye and Nara Hon'ya exchanged glances, then stepped forward.
The Hyuga Clan's Byakugan possesses X-ray vision and a nearly 360-degree field of view.
After Hyuga Yushu activated his Byakugan, he naturally spotted the two hidden in the shadows.
"Hello there, Hyuga Yushu," Renye greeted.
"What a coincidence to meet here," Nara Hon'ya echoed.
Hyuga Yushu's Byakugan scanned the two of them: "Are you two trying to ambush me too?"
Upon hearing this, Nara Hon'ya quickly shook his head, "No, no..."
He had just witnessed Hyuga Yushu effortlessly defeat Uchiha Hiko and Uchiha Rin.
This guy was terrifyingly strong, simply a monster!
If they really fought, his outcome would definitely be miserable.
Renye's heart stirred, feeling a bit eager to try.
He really wanted to spar with Hyuga Yushu to see who was stronger.
The strength Hyuga Yushu displayed was immense; without a fight, it was impossible to tell who was stronger or weaker...
Renye ultimately dismissed the idea.
There would be plenty of opportunities in the future for the two of them to spar.
He wasn't a warmonger; there was no need to actively seek trouble for himself.
"You misunderstood, we were just passing by," Renye explained.
Seeing that the two had no ill intentions, Hyuga Yushu deactivated his Byakugan.
Renye curiously stared at his eyes and asked, "Renye-kun, at what age do members of your Hyuga Clan typically activate their Byakugan?"
He wasn't very knowledgeable about such matters, which was why he asked.
Nara Hon'ya's gaze followed, equally curious about the question.
Hyuga Yushu looked at the two in confusion, not understanding why they were asking this question.
Though puzzled, he still explained, "The age of activation varies from person to person, usually between ten and twelve years old."
Renye understood; the Hyuga and Uchiha were similar, with most activating their abilities in their teens, save for a few exceptions.
Wait, Renye thought of something and looked at Hyuga Yushu in surprise; this guy seemed to be an exception...
"Renye-kun, how old are you?" Renye asked.
"Six."
Renye: "..."
Good gracious, he was even a year younger than himself.
"Renye-kun, you're truly strong, activating your Byakugan at six years old!" Nara Hon'ya was greatly astonished.
Is this the world of geniuses?
Hyuga Yushu didn't react to this; he had heard similar words too many times.
Moreover, Nara Hon'ya was mistaken; he didn't activate it at six, but at five!
Renye stared intently at Hyuga Yushu, a puzzled expression on his face.
This guy's talent was so strong, why had he never heard of him?
He knew of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, and Uchiha Kagami, but he had never heard of Hyuga Yushu.
Hyuga Yushu's talent was no weaker than Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others.
He quickly realized; there was only one truth!
That was, Hyuga Yushu never fully matured... and died.
This couldn't help but make Renye feel a sense of melancholy; indeed, only geniuses who truly matured were considered geniuses!
Those who were stifled midway or faded into obscurity didn't count.
Renye clenched his fists, resolving to train diligently.
His goal of becoming stronger had never changed—to possess the power to protect himself in the Ninja World.
Hyuga Yushu noticed Renye's strange state and asked, "Uchiha Renye... are you alright?"
Upon hearing this, Renye waved his hand, indicating he was fine.
Hyuga Yushu thought Renye was discouraged by his talent, so he offered comfort: "Don't be envious; train hard, and you can achieve it too."
Renye: "???"
He finally understood why Uchiha Rin and Uchiha Hiko wanted to ambush him...
He was too much of a Bi Wang!
Hyuga Yushu walked up to Renye, stopped, and said, "I'll wait for you to catch up to my pace."
After speaking, he left directly.
Renye stood rooted to the spot, staring blankly as Hyuga Yushu's figure walked away until it disappeared, unable to recover for a long time.
Those words kept repeating in his mind.
"I'll wait for you to catch up to my pace... pace... ace..."
After a while, the more Renye thought about it, the more he fumed, completely breaking down.
Bi Wang, this guy was definitely a Bi Wang!
If Hyuga Yushu were still here, he would absolutely attack without hesitation and give the "Bi Wang" a good beating!
"Renye-kun, are you alright?" Nara Hon'ya asked cautiously.
It was the first time he had seen Renye so angry.
"I'm fine, I'm really fine!"
Looking at Renye's murderous expression, Nara Hon'ya fell silent.
"You call this fine?"
However, he wisely didn't press further, feeling a bit schadenfreude in his heart.
"It seems I'm not the only one crushed by a monster..."
He was one of the top geniuses of the Nara Clan, reaching Genin level at just six years old.
He had originally thought that with his talent, he could become a standout at the Ninja School.
But on his second day of school, he was defeated by Hyuga Yushu in two moves.
Not only that, but there were quite a few others in his class who were stronger than him.
Nara Hon'ya felt completely inferior.
Only then did he realize the difference between an ordinary genius and an absolute prodigy...
Renye's furious roar pulled him back to his thoughts.
"I'm so mad! He's too much! Really, too much!"
Nara Hon'ya: "..."
Didn't he just say he was fine?
Why was he angry again?
Renye was seething with anger at this moment; he hadn't expected to be so provoked by just two sentences from Hyuga Yushu.
Renye vowed in his heart that he must get his revenge.
It's just showing off, isn't it?
He could do it too!
Even years later, whenever Renye recalled those two sentences, he still couldn't let it go...
----------
Senju Tobirama Residence.
"What's wrong with this brat?"
Senju Tobirama leaned quietly against the kitchen doorway, muttering to himself.
As soon as Renye returned home, Senju Tobirama noticed his unusual state.
Renye was stir-frying dishes with a dark expression.
He was very curious as to what had happened to make this brat so angry.
One had to know that this brat was usually good if he wasn't infuriating others...
Just then, Renye came out carrying the dishes.
"Brat, what happened?" Senju Tobirama asked.
"Nothing much, just ran into a Bi Wang," Renye said.
"Bi Wang?" Senju Tobirama didn't understand the meaning of the term.
Renye had no intention of explaining; after eating, he went to the training ground.
He needed to become stronger so that when he defeated Hyuga Yushu in the future, he could also make some boastful remarks.
Senju Tobirama watched Renye train while pondering the meaning of the term "Bi Wang."
But after racking his brains for a long time, he still couldn't understand.
"I wonder what's gotten into this brat?"
Since he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it.
Counting the days, it had been a long time since he had researched the Uchiha.
Thinking this, Senju Tobirama got up and went to the kitchen, and after adding a large amount of knockout drops to the milk, he revealed a satisfied smile.
He went to the training ground and handed the milk to Renye.
"Brat, it's about time."
Hearing this, Renye stopped training, and after drinking the milk, he returned to his room to bathe and sleep.
That night, he dreamed of the laboratory again...
