Father, Would You Like to Try the Power of This Chakra?
"What exactly is sealed inside this scroll?"
Seeing Hinata's mysterious demeanor, Hyuga Hiashi guessed that something extraordinary must be sealed within those two scrolls.
However, given Hyuga Hiashi's imagination, he couldn't possibly come up with anything that could instantly make him stronger, no matter how hard he tried.
Hinata winked at Hyuga Hiashi and said in a low voice, "What's sealed inside is chakra similar to that of Tailed Beasts..."
"Tailed Beasts?"
Hyuga Hiashi frowned and asked doubtfully, "Does it mean becoming Jinchuriki?"
"No, no, no..."
Hinata extended her right index finger and shook it gently, then clenched her fist, placed it near her mouth, and coughed lightly, looking very serious.
"This chakra is different from that of the Tailed Beasts."
"Hmm... how should I put it?"
"In short, Tailed Beasts are chakra that possesses intelligence and self, but the chakra in these two scrolls has not developed intelligence and self. This chakra can be absorbed by humans, thus creating humanoid Tailed Beasts similar to them."
Although Hinata kept speaking evasively, Hyuga Hiashi had roughly understood what she meant.
By absorbing the chakra in the scroll, humans can become life forms similar to Tailed Beasts.
Therefore, it seems that the chakra contained in these two scrolls can indeed make a person instantly powerful.
"A humanoid Tailed Beasts?"
Hyuga Hiashi muttered to himself, pondering the pros and cons of doing so.
Hinata continued to explain, "However, the chakra in the scroll is a bit different from the Tailed Beasts in our world. Even if you absorb the chakra and become a human-shaped Tailed Beasts, you can't have the same immortality as Tailed Beasts."
"Once you're killed, you're really dead; there's no way to revive you!"
Hyuga Hiashi nodded slightly upon hearing this, which was quite reasonable.
"Hinata, you've already absorbed chakra?"
"Kindness!"
Hyuga Hiashi glanced at Hinata a few times. From the outside, Hinata seemed unchanged, except that she was much more confident and had become much more arrogant than before.
"Byakugan!"
"This is just..."
Hyuga Hiashi looked shocked, with a slight sheen of sweat on his forehead.
"This chakra..."
Hinata chuckled and said, "How was it? Pretty impressive, right?"
Taking a deep breath, Hyuga Hiashi calmed himself down and asked in a low voice, "Hinata, what exactly happened?"
Hinata scratched her head.
"Well... in short, a life form similar to Tailed Beasts appeared, but it had no intelligence or self, and I eventually sealed it away."
Hinata could only give a vague, general explanation of what was to come, as it was difficult to explain the future in detail to Hyuga Hiashi.
Hyuga Hiashi didn't investigate further.
Everyone has their own secrets. Rushing to pry into someone else's secrets is most likely to damage the relationship between the two.
Hinata had even told everyone about her relationship with Nine-Tails, but she chose to keep this matter a secret.
Clearly, this matter involves far-reaching implications, beyond the comprehension of a ninja of Hyuga Hiashi's caliber.
How do I absorb this?
Hyuga Hiashi asked, "And these two scrolls..."
Hinata explained, "One of them is for Father, and the other I want to give to Brother Neji!"
Neji?
Hyuga Hiashi pondered for a moment, then said calmly, "Keep the other one for your sister, Hanabi!"
Hinata: "..."
Sure enough, no matter how close your brother's son is, he's still not as good as your own biological daughter?
Hinata nodded slightly, without refuting Hyuga Hiashi's opinion.
Urashiki, Urashiki still has plenty of chakra, so we can find an opportunity to extract some more later.
Giving it to Naruto is the same as giving it to someone else, so giving it to Neji wouldn't make a difference.
"That's right!"
Hinata suddenly thought of something, her eyes sparkling with excitement, and said enthusiastically, "Father! Ever since I absorbed chakra, I haven't fought anyone and I don't know my current level. How about... how about we give it a try?"
Seemingly afraid that Hyuga Hiashi refuse, Hinata added, "Father, please rest assured, I will be very gentle!"
Hyuga Hiashi: "..."
After a moment of silence, Hyuga Hiashi rose and said calmly, "Alright!"
"You agree?"
"Kindness!"
Hyuga Hiashi was also eager to see Hinata's current strength, even though it might be life-threatening, and he might even lose his life if he wasn't careful.
However, understanding Hinata's strength also makes it easier for Hyuga Hiashi to make some judgments.
Upon arriving at the Training Room, Hyuga Hiashi assumed the starting stance for Gentle Fist and said calmly, "Let's begin!"
"Then I'll go..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Hinata struck Hyuga Hiashi in the abdomen with a palm strike Hyuga Hiashi sent flying backward, rolling several times on the ground before crashing into the walls of the room with a 'bang'.
Sprawled out on its back!
Just as Hinata said before, Hinata actually hit very lightly.
Hyuga Hiashi only felt a slight pain in his abdomen. Although he flew backward in an extremely awkward manner, the momentum of the flight prevented him from even breaking the wooden walls of the room.
"So fast!"
Only now did Hyuga Hiashi have the opportunity to say those words.
"Father, are you alright?"
Hinata ran to Hyuga Hiashi a worried expression, carefully helped him up, and then stood obediently to the side, like a child who had done something wrong, with her head down and not saying a word.
After straightening his clothes, Hyuga Hiashi said calmly, "I'm fine!"
Hinata looked up curiously and asked, "Father, are you really not realizing it?"
Shaking his head slightly, Hyuga Hiashi explained, "It's not that I didn't have time to react, but rather that my body slowed down considerably for a moment, as if the air around me had solidified. I might as well give up resisting and test your abilities."
Hinata's gaze was somewhat strange.
Is Hyuga Hiashi putting on a brave face, or is he serious?
"Did the air around me freeze?"
Hinata was a little curious.
Hyuga Hiashi nodded slightly, also asking with a hint of doubt, "Hinata, did you use some kind of technique before you made your move?"
Hinata shook her head, but her mind was already racing with speculation.
Could it be that I unintentionally mobilized Natural Energy when I made my move?
Hinata is aware of her own current strength. Although Hyuga Hiashi is not her match, he is not so weak that he cannot even put up a fight.
However, if Hinata could use Natural Energy to seal off her opponent's movements the instant she attacks, then even a ninja of Hyuga Hiashi 'Hinata caliber would be unable to put up a fight against her.
Hyuga Hiashi took out the Sealing Scroll, his eyes flickering slightly.
How do I absorb this?
No ninja can resist the temptation of power, let alone a clan leader like Hyuga Hiashi.
Hyuga Hiashi carries the honor and fate of his clan on his shoulders; no one in the Hyuga Clan craves power more than him.
