basement.

Hinata Katsu leaned against the wall, and a faint, gear-like sound emanating from inside his body made Chiba uneasy.

"Hungry----"

Hunger struck again.

All 206 bones in his body were screaming, yearning for energy.

Sosuke came in again, carrying a black metal box.

Upon opening the box, one finds rows of dark, thumb-sized pills with a bitter, herbal aroma.

[Premium Soldier Rations].

Not the cheap stuff meant for low-ranking ninjas, but a premium product specially supplied by the Akimichi clan, rich in highly concentrated protein. The calories in just one piece are enough to sustain an adult ninja in a day of intense combat.

Currently, one of these can sell for two thousand taels of silver on the market.

"eat."

Hyuga Katsu grabbed a handful, about five or six, and stuffed them directly into his mouth. His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed them.

High-density energy explodes in the stomach.

If it were an ordinary person, eating so many high-grade military rations at once would have made them burst.

But in Sosuke's snake-eyed vision, the energy had just spread out when it was captured by Hyuga Katsu's bones.

The red heat surged down the spine and was rapidly transported to every bone in the body.

The teeth-grinding sound of bones grinding together finally stopped.

Hyuga Masaru's skin began to turn red, his body temperature rose sharply, and white steam rose from his body.

He seemed to have grown a few centimeters taller, and his shoulders had become broader. But this broadening wasn't due to muscles, but rather because his skeletal structure had expanded.

The collarbone is prominent, and the ribs look like rows of steel bars.

"call----"

Hyuga Katsu exhaled. The airflow, carrying an extremely high temperature, sprayed onto the ground, stirring up a small cloud of dust.

"He's alive."

He clenched his fist. His knuckles cracked.

That sense of power was several times stronger than before.

"How are you feeling?" Sosuke asked.

"That's strange."

Hyuga Katsu raised his arm and looked at the skin.

"I feel—my bones have become conscious."

"They are not just the framework that supports me; they have become my hands and feet, organs that I can control."

"Then try to control it."

Sosuke pointed to a piece of discarded steel plate in the corner. It was a target used to test the strength of ninja tools, and it was at least two centimeters thick.

Hyuga Katsu stood up and walked to the steel plate.

He took a deep breath. He didn't form any hand seals.

This ability has been etched into his genes and has become instinct.

He stared at his right elbow joint. His mind was focused.

"come out."

puff.

A soft sound, like a sharp blade cutting through leather.

Hyuga Masaru's elbow suddenly split open. No blood flowed out, because in that instant, the muscles and blood vessels automatically moved aside, and the cells at the wound site instantly keratinized and sealed it off.

A pale white bone spur protruded from the elbow.

It is about ten centimeters long, with an extremely sharp tip that gleams with a cold, hard ivory-like luster.

It has a texture completely different from normal human bones, with extremely high density.

"This is—the Corpse Bone Vein."

Chiba's eyes were filled with infatuation.

"Although it has only undergone a preliminary transformation, its hardness—definitely surpasses that of refined steel."

Hyuga Katsu looked at the bones that had grown on his body.

It hurt a lot. But that pain was mixed with a kind of pleasure in controlling power.

He swung his right arm violently.

Elbow strike!

There were no fancy moves; he simply used his waist to generate power, causing the bone spur in his elbow to slam hard into the steel plate.

when!

A loud bang, sparks flying everywhere.

The two-centimeter-thick steel plate was pierced instantly!

The bone spur was driven deep into the steel plate, until it disappeared without a shank.

Hyuga Masaru tried to pull it out, but found it stuck tightly.

"drink!"

He let out a low growl, and the muscles in his arms suddenly bulged.

Crack. The steel plate was ripped open with a large gash.

Hyuga Katsu retracted his arm.

The bone spur remained as white as jade, without the slightest wear or breakage.

"Incredible—"

Hyuga Katsuyuki was panting.

"Such formidable attack power—"

"Take it back."

Sousuke ordered.

Hyuga Katsumi's mind stirred.

The bone spur slowly retracted into the body. The torn skin quickly closed, leaving only a faint white mark.

A few seconds later, even the white marks disappeared.

This is the terrifying regenerative ability of the Kaguya clan.

"How's the consumption?" Sosuke asked.

"Very big."

Hyuga Katsu clutched his stomach.

"That last burst used up about a tenth of my energy. I'm a little hungry now."

That's quite a money-burning ability.

Sosuke silently calculated in his mind.

Maintaining such a ninja would cost a fortune every day just for the special-grade soldier rations.

An ordinary family simply cannot afford to support them.

Only a big boss like Sousuke, backed by the Takaya Trading Company and the Uchiha distribution channels, could provide such a continuous supply.

Perhaps, the Kaguya clan's passion for killing stems not only from their genetically inherited brutality but also from their desire to plunder more resources.

"From today onwards, your rations will be unlimited."

Sousuke tossed a whole box of pills to Hyuga Katsumi.

"You have only one task: adapt to it, develop it, and develop more uses for it."

"For example—shooting finger bone bullets from the fingertips? Or releasing bone spurs from the whole body for defense?"

Sosuke thought of Kimimaro's "Ten Fingers Piercing the Bullet" and "Dance of the Tang Pine".

That's an advanced application of the Corpse Bone Pulse technique.

Hyuga Katsu nodded, his eyes gleaming with ambition.

"I will."

Hyuga Masaru quickly adapted to his new abilities and proposed to test them in actual combat.

The backyard of the Kikyo Pavilion has been converted into a closed training ground.

The ground was paved with hard bluestone slabs, and the surrounding area was a reinforced wall.

"Sawtooth".

Sosuke called out.

The saw, which was sitting on the wall sharpening its knife, jumped down.

He carried the replica of the decapitation sword on his back.

"Boss, any work?"

The jagged teeth grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.

"Sparring partner".

Sousuke pointed to Hyuga Katsu, who was standing in the center of the field.

"This friend of Hyuga just had surgery, and his body is a bit rusty. Could you help him loosen his bones?"

The serrated man scrutinized Hyuga Katsumi.

"The Hyuga clan?"

The serrated edge looked somewhat disdainful.

"Gentle Fist may be powerful, but I won't let you touch it."

"Moreover, my sword weighs eighty pounds. With one strike, I can cleave even the most desperate situation in two."

Hyuga Masaru remained silent.

He struck a pose.

This is not the standard starting stance for Soft Fist.

He kept his center of gravity low, his feet gripping the ground like nails. His spine was slightly arched, like a fully drawn bow.

"Come."

Hyuga Katsu uttered a single word.

"Hey, this is interesting."

The serrations are also quite sharp.

He snatched the Executioner's Blade with one hand, without even using chakra, relying purely on brute force, and slashed down!

A fierce wind swept across my face.

The potential energy of this strike was enough to split a boulder in two.

Hyuga Katsu did not dodge.

He raised his right arm.

"You're asking for death!" Serrated eyes flashed with ruthlessness. Using his bare body to withstand a giant sword? Has Hyuga gone mad?

However, just as the blade was about to touch the skin...

*Pfft.* Hyuga Masaru's forearm skin split open.

A row of pale white bone spurs suddenly sprang out, standing upright like swords and halberds.

when!!!

The explosion was deafening. Sparks flew everywhere.

The decapitation blade slammed into the bone spikes.

The saw felt as if it had struck a diamond. The enormous recoil force sent a jolt back, making his hand go numb.

"What the hell?!" Sawtooth took two steps back in shock.

He looked at Hyuga Katsu's arm.

Those bone spurs were completely intact, without even a scratch.

On the contrary, several nicks appeared on his replica decapitation sword.

"bone?"

The saw teeth stared wide-eyed.

"The Kaguya clan's Corpse Bone Pulse?!"

As a rogue ninja from Kirigakure, he was all too familiar with the abilities of this madman's clan.

But this person in front of me is clearly from the Hyuga clan! And his Byakugan is still up there!

"This is not your average soft fist."

Hyuga Katsumi withdrew the bone spurs and closed the skin.

"Again."

"Interesting! Very interesting!"

'

The saw teeth got excited.

"This level of hardness is perfect for being my whetstone!"

He gripped the swords with both hands, and his chakra erupted.

Without using any ninjutsu, he directly attached chakra to the sword and unleashed a sword aura as powerful as a dragon.

Hyuga Katsuya still didn't dodge.

Chakra was being released from every pore on his body.

"Eight Trigrams - Empty Palm!"

But he didn't fire an air cannon.

In the instant he swung his hand, five finger bones popped out from his fingertips.

Those are real bullets!

Whoosh whoosh—

The finger bone pierced through the chakra blade energy, heading straight for the serrated face.

"I'm not one to be trifled with either!"

Parry with a serrated blade.

Ding ding ding.

The finger bone was knocked away and shot into the surrounding wall, embedding itself deeply into the brickwork.

The two were locked in combat.

One is a heavy sword style with wide, sweeping movements; the other is a bizarre martial art that combines soft fist techniques with the Corpse Bone Pulse.

Sosuke stood on the second floor, looking down at the battle.

Chiba stood behind him, quickly recording the data.

"Bone hardness: Grade S"

Regeneration speed: Grade A.

"Chakra consumption: High".

Conclusion: The perfect tank and assault soldier.

Ten minutes later. The battle ended.

A draw.

The serrated blade was panting heavily, its surface riddled with nicks and chips.

Hyuga Masaru's clothes were tattered, and his exposed skin was covered with red marks, but there was no bleeding.

His periosteum blocked most of the impact.

"happy!"

The serrated knife was stuck into the ground.

"You're a monster. Tougher than Kaguya and her gang of lunatics."

"Thanks."

Hyuga Katsu bowed slightly.

A hint of confidence flashed in his eyes.

He finally became stronger, even surpassing most of the main family members.
