Hyuga Hiashi, Shot Down Just After Taking Flight

"Just eat it!"

Thinking of her own situation, Hinata added, "But I still need to work hard to control my Chakra, otherwise... otherwise..."

Hinata scratched her head, unsure how to explain the loss of Chakra control.

Hyuga Hiashi nodded and said, "I understand!"

Sitting cross-legged on the wooden floor, Hyuga Hiashi unfurled the Sealing Scroll, revealing the Sealing Jutsu technique within.

With just one glance, Hyuga Hiashi knew that Hinata couldn't have created this seal.

"Did someone help Hinata?"

Hyuga Hiashi was hesitant.

He didn't know whether the person who helped Hinata was friend or foe, nor did he know what that person's purpose was, or what their intentions were towards the Hyuga Clan...

"Who drew this Sealing Jutsu?"

Even though he had already decided not to pry into Hinata's secrets, Hyuga Hiashi couldn't help but ask.

The horrific Uchiha Clan Extermination is still fresh in everyone's mind. When Itachi Uchiha participated in this event, he was only one year older than Hinata.

Hinata may seem a bit unreliable, but she is already a capable ninja who can stand on her own and has her own ideas.

A person's values are established during their childhood.

For ninjas, their values and worldviews begin to mature around the age of twelve or thirteen. Although Hyuga Hiashi had absolute trust in Hinata, he couldn't guarantee that no one would try to use Hinata for ulterior motives.

In Hyuga Hiashi's view, someone suddenly giving Hinata so much Chakra must have a very ulterior motive.

Humans are greedy, and there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Hinata thought for a moment and casually said, "He's my friend!"

"Friend?"

Hyuga Hiashi was still very uneasy.

Hinata sighed and could only explain, "Well... we're the kind of friends who are really, really close, the kind you can completely trust."

"He has already taken some of the Chakra, and we split it equally."

Hyuga Hiashi nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then stopped asking questions.

Hyuga Hiashi didn't truly believe the 'friend' Hinata spoke of; rather, he knew that this 'friend's' power was far beyond what the current Hyuga Clan could contend with.

Just hearing about the carnage of the battlefield in the Land of Fire, Hyuga Hiashi knew just how powerful Hinata's 'friend' truly was.

Regardless of whether the other party has any designs on the Hyuga Clan, the Hyuga Clan will accomplish nothing if they don't improve their strength.

Furthermore, in Hyuga Hiashi's view, if the other party's goal wasn't the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan, then they must have some designs on Hinata...

Looking at the Sealing Jutsu formula on the scroll, Hyuga Hiashi voice, "A very magical Sealing Jutsu formula... but the other party has considered it very carefully. The method to undo the formula is the same as the method to undo ordinary Sealing Scroll."

"Open!"

Hyuga Hiashi Hand Seals, and a cloud of smoke billowed from the scroll with a 'BOOM' sound. When the smoke dissipated, a ball of Chakra floated quietly above the scroll.

Hyuga Hiashi took the Chakra, frowned, and said, "Just eat it directly?"

Hinata nodded and said, "Yes!"

"..."

Even after Hyuga Hiashi swallowed the Chakra ball, he still couldn't believe that the method of absorbing Chakra could be so simple.

Hinata must not know any other methods, that's why she said that.

"Byakugan!"

Hinata her Byakugan and carefully observed the changes within Hyuga Hiashi's body.

Thanks to the enhanced power of her Byakugan, Hinata was able to see much more clearly this time.

"But... it seems different from the time I was here!"

Hinata had some doubts.

However, Hyuga Hiashi was exerting all his strength to control his Chakra, and the way he was straining was like someone who was constipated and was squeezing with all their might, and even his face was a little distorted.

Judging from Hyuga Hiashi's expression, it was clear that he couldn't explain it to Hinata.

When Hinata absorbs Chakra, the life force contained within the Chakra primarily alters Hinata's body. Along with the life force, Hinata also absorbs the Yin-Yang Power and the God Tree Chakra.

However, Hyuga Hiashi is somewhat different from Hinata at this moment.

It is mainly reflected in the eyes.

As life force merged into Hyuga Hiashi's entire body, the Yin-Yang Power contained in his Chakra flowed to Hyuga Hiashi's eyes, instead of being absorbed by his body like Hinata's.

Did Sasuke do it?

Or is it due to Hyuga Hiashi himself?

Although all Nine Tailed Beasts originated from the Ten-Tails Nine Tailed Beasts, their abilities differ.

Hinata couldn't determine whether the Nine Tailed Beasts changed when they became Tailed Beasts, or whether the Sage of Six Paths had already allocated all the power when dividing the Chakra.

As time passed, and as some of the Chakra Hyuga Hiashi, his Hyuga Hiashi complexion improved considerably.

Hinata thought it would be good to have that White Zetsu with the Uzumaki Clan face come and take a look.

Once he saw Hyuga Hiashi's expression, he should understand what constipation feels like.

"Father, how are you feeling?"

"It feels great!"

Hyuga Hiashi activated his Byakugan, but given his Dojutsu power, he could probably only see the flow of Chakra.

Hinata asked curiously, "What about your eyes? How do they feel?"

"Eye?"

Hyuga Hiashi touched his eyes and shook his head, saying, "I don't feel anything yet."

Hinata didn't press further. While carefully observing the changes within Hyuga Hiashi's Hyuga Hiashi, she quietly waited with him.

Through this observation, Hinata gained a more accurate understanding of the power of the God Tree.

The life force contained in the God Tree is mostly concentrated in the God Tree itself.

However, the life force contained in the God Tree Chakra is not much, so when Hyuga Hiashi absorbs the life force, a large amount of Chakra is lost.

This is similar to Hinata's experience.

After all, Urashiki's Chakra didn't directly transform into a living being like the Tailed Beasts, so the return of his Chakra to nature is understandable.

Hyuga Hiashi absorbed life force more slowly than Hinata. During this time, both their mother and Hanabi came by once and saw that Hinata and Hyuga Hiashi were training, but they did not disturb them.

It wasn't until after 9 p. m. that Hyuga Hiashi got up; he could already feel the difference in his body.

"Truly impressive!"

Only now did Hyuga Hiashi truly understand how vast the gap was between himself and Hinata.

"The Chakra has increased by several dozen times compared to before..."

Hinata quickly said, "Father, let's have a go!"

"Good!"

This time, Hyuga Hiashi didn't hesitate and readily agreed to Hinata's unreasonable request.

Previously, Hyuga Hiashi couldn't beat Hinata, so he had to be careful and do things properly in front of Hinata.

But let's see how arrogant you are this time.

Hinata and Hyuga Hiashi simultaneously assumed the starting stance for Gentle Fist, and then struck each other with a palm strike.

Hyuga Hiashi frowned slightly; that feeling of stagnant air was returning...

Smack!

A tremendous force came from his palm, Hyuga Hiashi staggered back more than ten steps before regaining his balance.

Hyuga Hiashi: "..."
