Uchiha Yi could clearly feel that this woman, like other members of the Hyuga clan, was even more rigid than them.
Even though she had taken the initiative to greet him, Uchiha Yi still sensed a certain aloofness in her politeness.
This was not an easy-going girl, but fortunately, she wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for him, which was within Uchiha Yi's acceptable range.
Moreover, the relationship between the Uchiha and Hyuga clans had never been particularly good, especially after the Senju clan disbanded. Under the manipulation of Tobirama Senju, the Uchiha and Hyuga began to compete for the title of Konoha's strongest clan.
In reality, comparing the Hyuga to the Uchiha was an insult to the Uchiha. No matter how much the Uchiha had declined, they wouldn't fall to the point of being on par with the Hyuga.
But facing such competition, what could the Uchiha do? Were they supposed to beat up the Hyuga?
When Uchiha Yi first entered the Ninja Academy, he had indeed encountered challenges from the Hyuga clan, which he easily resolved, thus establishing his reputation as the Uchiha's top genius.
In those days, if an Uchiha couldn't beat a few Hyuga, they couldn't even claim to be a genius of the Uchiha. The key was that there were indeed many Uchiha who couldn't defeat the Hyuga.
After all, the Hyuga specialized in taijutsu, and in their early childhood, when chakra was insufficient, Hyuga ninja who specifically trained in taijutsu indeed had an initial advantage.
Uchiha Yi sat down not far from Hyuga Rinka and took out the "Fundamentals of Sealing Jutsu" that Mito Uzumaki had given him earlier, beginning to read it.
Sealing jutsu was indeed very tricky and difficult to learn. The basics were hard, and improving was even harder.
If it weren't for learning the Flying Raijin Jutsu, Uchiha Yi wouldn't even want to learn too many sealing jutsus. Wouldn't activating the Rinnegan in the future and using Chibaku Tensei solve most seals?
However, the Flying Raijin Jutsu had extremely high requirements for sealing jutsu, forcing Uchiha Yi to spend a lot of time studying these sealing jutsus.
Fortunately, with Mito Uzumaki, a master of sealing jutsu, personally guiding him, Uchiha Yi would have truly wanted to give up.
Speaking of which, Kushina Uzumaki indeed had excellent talent in sealing jutsu. It would be perfect if he could someday acquire the sealing jutsu talent of either Kushina Uzumaki or Mito Uzumaki.
Seeing Uchiha Yi sit down and remain still, Hyuga Rinka occasionally glanced at Uchiha Yi, secretly observing him.
Coming to Tsunade's team this time was Hyuga Rinka's own request. Otherwise, if she hadn't been willing, the Hyuga clan wouldn't have forced her.
In the Main House, she indeed enjoyed the best resources, cultivation resources that the Branch House couldn't even dream of, and a privileged life where everything was taken care of by servants or the Branch House.
Their only tasks seemed to be managing the Branch House and having them procreate. Any other efforts seemed meaningless.
Hyuga Rinka didn't want to live that kind of life, and she even had a faint feeling that the Hyuga Main House shouldn't be like that.
Hyuga Rinka had never told anyone about these thoughts. When she heard there was an opportunity to join Tsunade's team, she immediately applied.
She wanted to change her life, to become strong, not to be protected by the Branch House, but to protect the entire clan herself.
Hyuga Rinka was equally curious about Uchiha Yi, the Uchiha's top genius. She wanted to see just how talented Uchiha Yi truly was.
Being stared at by Hyuga Rinka like that, Uchiha Yi felt a bit helpless, but he couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't possibly tell her not to stare at him, could he?
Fortunately, Tsunade and Kushina Uzumaki didn't make him wait too long. About ten minutes later, both of them arrived at the training ground.
"Yi-kun!" Kushina Uzumaki enthusiastically ran to Uchiha Yi when she saw him and greeted him.
"Kushina!" Uchiha Yi nodded at Kushina Uzumaki, then said to her, "This is our teammate, Hyuga Rinka."
Kushina Uzumaki then noticed Hyuga Rinka standing nearby. When she saw her, a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes. What a cute girl.
This instantly made Kushina Uzumaki vigilant. Uchiha Mikoto alone had put immense pressure on Kushina Uzumaki. If another Hyuga Rinka came along, would she even be able to compete?
"Alright, from now on, you are all members of Tsunade's squad!
I don't expect you to become best friends or anything, but I don't want your relationship to be too bad." Tsunade glared fiercely at Uchiha Yi, then reminded them, "Next, introduce yourselves! You'll be going on missions together, so it's necessary to get to know each other."
Kushina Uzumaki understood that Tsunade was hinting at her, but she wasn't afraid of Tsunade. Instead, she raised her hand and said loudly, "How should we introduce ourselves? Why don't you start, Tsunade-neechan?"
"In this team, I am your captain. From now on, call me Tsunade-sensei in the team." Tsunade gave Kushina Uzumaki an exasperated look, but still began her self-introduction: "I am Tsunade, an elite jonin of Konoha. I specialize in taijutsu and medical ninjutsu. My hobbies are drinking and gambling, and I dislike troublesome things. My dream? To win every bet against everyone in the world."
"That's truly an extravagant dream!" Uchiha Yi muttered to himself. If Tsunade really won against everyone, the price would probably be the destruction of the ninja world.
He looked at Kushina Uzumaki and Hyuga Rinka, finding that neither of them intended to speak first, so he began, "Uchiha Yi, six years old. I specialize in Fire Release and Lightning Release. As for hobbies, I suppose I like good food. I don't want to see my friends leave me.
As for my dream, world peace. I wonder if that counts as a dream."
"Wanting world peace certainly counts as a dream. I hope one day you can bring about world peace!" Tsunade nodded in satisfaction. She could feel that Uchiha Yi wasn't lying, which showed he truly wanted world peace. Who said all Uchiha were crazy? Uchiha Yi was such a good kid!
"Next is me, me, me! My name is Kushina Uzumaki. I specialize in taijutsu and sealing jutsu, and I also know a bit of medical ninjutsu. I like living with my good friends whom I care about, and I don't want to see partings in life and death.
My dream is to live happily together with the people I care about."
As she spoke the latter part, Kushina Uzumaki glanced at Uchiha Yi, then quickly focused on Tsunade again.
"Don't worry! We'll protect our home together." Tsunade understood what Kushina Uzumaki meant and affectionately patted her head, muttering, "Hmm, such a good girl."
