Chapter 1
Konoha Year 58, Ninja Academy
"The winner, Neji."
The teacher's whistle declared the match over. Ryo clutched his chest and fell to the ground, his eyes filled with anger and disbelief as he stared at Neji.
As a member of the Hyuga central family and two years older than Neji, Ryo had thought this would be a simple training match. Before the game, he even displayed the arrogance of the leading family, claiming he would give Neji some proper guidance, telling him to watch and learn. But to his shock, he lost to this branch family kid in front of everyone!!
He, Ryo, was the one who needed guidance?!
"Sorry, Ryo."
Neji extended a hand to help Ryo, but it was immediately slapped away.
"Save it! You’re just a mere branch family member… Where did you learn that technique you just used to defeat me?!"
"Why has no one in the main family ever taught it?"
