Chapter 179
Haruto Saito, like Tsunade, was utterly shocked. The Hyuga Clan, an ancient noble family with a thousand-year legacy, had always been known for their strict internal regulations. It was almost unheard of for their secret techniques to be leaked. Their Gentle Fist techniques were traditionally passed down orally—not because there were no written scrolls, but because these scrolls were only held by the main family.
"Eight Trigrams Palm: Rotating Moon?" Haruto quickly skimmed through the contents of the scroll in his hands. He was already familiar with the standard Eight Trigrams Rotation, a defensive technique he could use himself. But this Rotating Moon variant seemed to be a higher-level Gentle Fist technique—one that combined offense and defense. The original Rotation was considered an absolute defense, but the Rotating Moon allowed for both protection and counterattack.
Inside the coffin, there were numerous scrolls. Most of them were a dull gray-blue color, marked with symbols resembling the crest of the Meiji Clan. The old books, bamboo slips, and beast-hide manuscripts within also bore the same insignia.
However, the scroll in Haruto's hands was different—it was white, and the emblem on it strongly resembled the present-day Hyuga Clan crest, albeit with some subtle differences.
Tsunade sifted through the contents of the coffin, flipping through various scrolls, until she pulled out another white scroll and unrolled it.
"Gentle Fist Art: Crescent Moon Strike!"
Another Hyuga Clan Gentle Fist technique!
Haruto glanced at the scroll in Tsunade's hands before quickly searching through the coffin himself. In no time, he found three more white scrolls.
Eight Trigrams Mountain Shattering Strike!
Eight Trigrams Phantom Shadow Seven Forms!
Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!
