Hinata's Unique Training Plan
The two walked silently, each lost in their own thoughts. In the quiet atmosphere, the corridor seemed to stretch many times longer, as if it would never end.
However, it eventually came to an end.
At the end of the road was the hospital entrance. It was around four o'clock in the afternoon when they came out. The sun still had a lot of heat left, and the sunlight was a bit dazzling. The two beautiful girls who came out of the hospital squinted at the same time.
"Hmm..." The pink-haired girl rested her hand on her brow as a makeshift balcony, looked around, and asked, "Where are we going?"
Tsunade told her to rest; her body, having just undergone treatment, wasn't suited for strenuous exercise or training. So... where to go? It wasn't mealtime. You might not believe it, but Sakura Haruno didn't know much about the entertainment venues in Konoha.
"Whatever you want, I'm fine with anything." Bai smiled slightly.
Sakura Haruno barely managed to suppress the urge to roll her eyes. The answer she hated most in both her past and present lives was "whatever." Many people are "whatever," but they become "not so" when you don't understand them; some people are the most "whatever" they seem, but are actually the least "whatever," it's utterly disgusting.
However, Shiro isn't like that. She genuinely doesn't care, as long as she's with Sakura.
Sakura Haruno hesitated for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, "Let's go Hinata first."
She suddenly remembered that her three students should be training with Hinata during this time. So much had happened on this mission abroad, especially the two battles against Akatsuki and Root, which had left her physically and mentally exhausted. Thinking of her students training safely with Hinata, she felt a little envious of them.
I wonder what Hinata will teach them?
Hinata, of course, would never teach her family's secret Gentle Fist to a few unrelated children. However, Sakura Haruno never expected to witness such a scene at the Hyuga residence—
"Listen to my commands—" "Left hook!" "Right straight!" "Right punch!"...
That was Hinata voice.
"Yes--!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!"...
This was the unified shout of the Genin.
Uh... is this military training? Is this all they're doing? Sakura's lips twitched.
She and Bai stopped outside the courtyard and observed for a while before they gradually saw the clues: Hinata's training was only about practicing the most basic Taijutsu skills, but it was taught in great detail. Every movement had to be practiced and corrected repeatedly, and even the slightest muscle tension was not overlooked.
It goes into detail, starting with the power generated from the soles of the feet, explaining the movement of each toe and the key muscles—the extensor digitorum brevis and the extensor hallucis brevis—clearly.
In addition, she has Byakugan, which allows her to see directly through clothes and skin to the movement of their muscles. Hinata can see clearly whether every movement is done in the most standard, most suitable for exertion, and with the greatest power. Therefore, when guiding children in training, she can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
If the ultimate skill of Taijutsu is scored out of 100, then Might Guy, who opened the last gate of the Eight Gates Released Formation, would get 99 points (minus one point to prevent you from getting arrogant). The Hyuga Clan have specialized in Taijutsu for a hundred years, would probably get 95 points. Hinata, who has innovated and gradually formed her own Hinata of Taijutsu, could get around 90 points. As for Sakura Haruno herself... if we don't count Nintaijutsu, she'd barely get 80 points.
So here's the difference between a 90-point teacher and an 80-point teacher: Hinata only trained them for a few days, and Sakura's three subordinates' Taijutsu abilities improved significantly. More importantly, Hinata helped them solidify their Taijutsu foundation, which was the foundation for their future towering achievements in Taijutsu.
Bai noticed the girl's expression beside him, which quickly changed from initial displeasure to thoughtfulness.
"Hmm, what's wrong, Sakura?"
"It's nothing..." Sakura Haruno laughed off the misunderstanding she had just imagined, and said with a smile, "Look, Hinata's training is quite interesting."
"I can't tell..." The black-haired girl pouted her moist, pink lips slightly, frowned, and looked for a while before answering in a low voice.
She had been out of the ranks of front-line combat ninjas for a long time, and given that she hadn't received much formal Taijutsu training, it was normal that she couldn't understand the intricacies of the game.
"Okay... you know about rapid red muscle contraction, right?" Sakura thought for a moment, then chose the easiest part to understand and explained it to Shiro.
The black-haired girl nodded.
As a high-level medical-nin, she was well aware of this basic knowledge. In medicine, skeletal muscles can be divided into fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscles based on their function, and into white and red muscles based on their morphology. Combined, skeletal muscles can be divided into three types: slow-twitch red muscles, fast-twitch red muscles, and fast-twitch white muscles, which are commonly known as red muscles, pink muscles, and white muscles.
For ninjas, red-skinned individuals have the strongest endurance but the weakest explosive power, while white-skinned individuals are the opposite. Pink-skinned individuals, on the other hand, possess both high endurance and high explosive power. Therefore, theoretically, ninjas should strive for pink-skinned individuals and try to increase their proportion of pink-skinned individuals through training.
Of course, that's the theory, but in reality... can you expect a significant portion of semi-literate ninjas to understand what fast-twitch red muscle is, and then design a reasonable training plan to develop it? The Hyuga Clan does have a centuries-old Taijutsu tradition and knows how to train muscles more efficiently for ninjas, but unfortunately, they only know the "how" but not the "why"—the Byakugan can't see the color of muscles.
Sakura Haruno continued, "Hinata's training plan maximizes the proportion of pink skin to the highest level, which is one of Hinata's brilliant skills."
Hinata's training method is derived from the Hyuga Clan's traditional training method, with perfected details, striving to efficiently improve the trainee's strength rather than pursuing self-harm. Naturally, it cannot be compared to Might Guy and Lee's 10,000 jump ropes or 10 laps around the village at high speed, which are just a pursuit of high-intensity training. Only those two Taijutsu prodigies in the world can withstand the latter. If an ordinary person were to force themselves to train like that, they would die from overexertion within three months.
By combining aerobic and anaerobic exercise, along with the Hyuga Clan's unique acupressure stimulation and Chakra massage techniques, and the medical methods developed by Sakura, the proportion of pink skin can be increased quickly and effectively. Generally, non- Taijutsu -type ninjas can increase it to more than 60-70%, Hinata specializes in Taijutsu, has even replaced more than 85% of her muscles with pink skin.
However, Sakura specifically mentioned this point because Hinata's unique training technique was the source of its inspiration and refinement.
"Of course, it was only completed with my support!"
The pink-haired girl was naturally authentic.
The Yuki Haku... Hehehe chuckles.
Those who felt Hinata's seemingly simple yet ingenious training plan most deeply were undoubtedly Sakura Haruno's three students. Although they didn't know what red and white muscle were, nor did they understand why a simple straight punch required power to be generated from the soles of the feet to the fingertips, they could directly feel that in just a few days of training, their strength, speed, and endurance had all improved significantly. In actual combat, more accurate, concise, and powerful punches and kicks also brought about a visibly different change in the students' fighting ability.
