Hanabi Occupies Hinata's Bedroom

Of course, if that were all it did, it would merely be an enhanced version of Air Palm, perhaps not even as powerful as Mountain Breaker.

Moreover, this move consumed twice as much chakra as a Rasengan.

The true focus of this move lay in its potential for growth. It combined the traits of both Gentle Fist and Steel Fist, allowing it not only to attack the meridians and internal organs, but also to inflict physical damage.

Furthermore, gathering chakra around her hand would let her engage enemies in close combat, while also allowing her to launch the Chakra Fist at any time for a ranged attack.

If she merely maintained the Chakra Fist for close combat, its chakra consumption was actually not high. What it mainly required was chakra control to maintain the shape of the Chakra Fist.

What Hinata needed to do next was continue refining this move, while improving her chakra control and the explosive force of Air Palm, so she could unleash even stronger attacks.

Once both her control and explosive force reached their limits, this move's cost-effectiveness would far surpass the Rasengan.

Next came the crucial part, and Hinata's next required course.

Yin-Yang Release!

If she could incorporate Yin-Yang Release into this move, its power would undoubtedly become even greater.

Compared to the five elemental releases, Yin-Yang Release was undoubtedly far more miraculous.

"It's time to give my ultimate move a name."

"Hmm... Since Kaguya's Gentle Fist ultimate move is called Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack, I'll call this one Twenty Gods Vacuum Attack."

"Just like Thirty-Two Palms evolves into Sixty-Four Palms, then evolves again into 128 Palms."

Having made up her mind, Hinata decided to pass off the ultimate move she had developed as a downgraded version of Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack. That would instantly make it sound far more impressive.

Nobody else knew anyway.

It was rare for Hinata to put so much effort into training. Having developed a new ultimate move this time, she kept practicing outside until past ten before finally stopping.

Control and explosive force could be trained gradually. What Hinata needed to do now was continue perfecting Twenty Gods Vacuum Attack.

The Chakra Fist she condensed had to be as lifelike as a real fist. It needed both the ability to attack meridians and internal organs through acupuncture points, and the ability to inflict massive physical damage through compressed chakra.

Most importantly, she had to form meridians within the Chakra Fist and treat it as an extension of her own fist. Only then could the Chakra Fist possess the effects of Gentle Fist.

If she could incorporate Yin-Yang Release, this move would actually be much the same as the Uchiha Family's Susanoo.

Both were techniques that materialized chakra for attacks.

The difference was that Susanoo relied on the Dojutsu power of the Mangekyo, while Twenty Gods Vacuum Attack relied on Hinata's own chakra control.

It was extremely difficult, but also extremely useful.

Hinata was even thinking that once she obtained the Tenseigan and gained the ability to travel to the moon, she would take a trip there.

With Hinata's face, Otsutsuki Toneri would surely give her some consideration and teach her the techniques of his clan.

Maybe he even had the complete version of Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack?

Going to the moon, charming someone with her face, and learning ninjutsu—other than Hinata, who in the entire shinobi world could pull that off?

Since Otsutsuki Toneri had a crush on her, she could not let a connection like that go to waste.

By the time she returned home and took a bath, it was already eleven. Hinata returned to her room and found the door slightly ajar, with the lights still on inside!

Naturally, no thief could possibly break into the Hyuga Clan estate.

Hinata revealed a mischievous grin. That little brat Hanabi was still awake at this hour. She would spank her butt later.

She pushed the door open and entered, then locked it behind her.

Heh heh! Scream until your throat breaks, and no one will come to save you.

As she approached the bed, something seemed to stir in the softest part of Hinata's heart.

Hanabi was already five this year. Children needed plenty of sleep and could not stay up late. Hanabi had been waiting for Hinata, and while waiting, she had fallen asleep leaning against the bed.

Although Hanabi's drool had soaked Hinata's bedsheet, Hinata would not dislike Hanabi for that.

She picked Hanabi up and laid her properly on the bed. Her movements woke Hanabi, who barely opened one eye and mumbled, "Big Sis, you're back!"

Hinata poked Hanabi's little cheek and smiled. "Hanabi, go to sleep. Big Sis will play with you tomorrow!"

"Mm!"

Hanabi was already exhausted. The moment she closed her eyes, she fell into a deep sleep, and there was no telling how long she had waited for Hinata.

Hinata lay beside Hanabi, hugged little Hanabi, and soon fell into a deep sleep as well.

Come to think of it, five-year-old Hanabi had already begun training. Her talent was quite good, only a tiny bit below Neji's.

But with Hinata, an unparalleled genius, standing before her, even Neji no longer seemed impressive, much less little Hanabi.

However, Hyuga Hiashi would not abandon Hanabi the way he had abandoned Hinata in the Original Story.

The Hinata of the Original Story had truly been hopelessly untalented. Although Hanabi's talent could not compare to Hinata's current talent, she was still someone worth cultivating. If she trained diligently, she could absolutely reach Hyuga Hiashi's current level of strength in the future.

Early the next morning, the moment Hinata opened her eyes, Hanabi immediately pounced on her. Her little head burrowed into Hinata's embrace and rubbed against her as she sweetly called, "Good morning, Big Sis! You smell so nice!"

Hinata gave Hanabi a huge hug and giggled. "Good morning, Hanabi! You smell nice too!"

Hanabi greatly admired Hinata. At this time, she still did not know about the cruelty of the Hyuga Clan's main and branch family system, and she usually loved clinging to Hinata.

Moreover, Hyuga Hiashi was still in his prime. His branch of the main family did not yet need to designate an heir, so naturally no one would place the Caged Bird curse mark on Hanabi.

There was no war anyway, so Hyuga Hiashi was in no hurry.

And while Hinata had displayed her talent, and Hyuga Hiashi and the clan elders had already decided that she must inherit the Hyuga Clan in the future, Hinata was still young and not strong enough. What if she died young while carrying out a mission?

Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!

Bad things won't come true; good things will.

Hyuga Hiashi had also always avoided mentioning the main family's unfairness toward the branch family in front of Hanabi, doing his best to give her a happy childhood.

Hanabi usually loved hearing people in the clan talk about what a genius her sister was, and she always looked proud as though she shared in the honor.

When she heard last night that her sister had created a ninjutsu of her own, Hanabi eagerly ran over to Hinata's room.

Remembering why she had come last night, Hanabi looked up at Hinata and asked admiringly, "Big Sis, I heard you created a ninjutsu. Can you show me?"

"Of course!" After saying that, Hinata looked at Hanabi's adorable little face and planted a loud kiss on her forehead.

Carrying Hanabi outside, Hinata set her down on the veranda, then walked into the courtyard and said, "Little Hanabi, watch carefully!"

She clenched her right hand into a fist and gathered chakra around it. A vivid blue Chakra Fist immediately formed around Hinata's fist, as large as a basketball.

The Chakra Fist was lifelike, with every knuckle clearly defined. Even the thumbnail was distinctly visible.

This was the result of Hinata's entire night of training yesterday.

"That's amazing!"

Hanabi clapped with all her might, her little hands turning red from excitement, her face filled with admiration for Hinata.
