Who Says Daughters Are Their Fathers' Little Padded Jackets?

'Bang bang bang—'

A series of loud knocks sounded as Hinata waved her little hands and pounded on Hyuga Hiashi's bedroom door.

Who is it?

Minako Hyuga complained, Hyuga Hiashi groggily opened his eyes and glanced out the window.

The sky was still dimly lit, barely light; it wasn't even six o'clock yet. So early in the morning, are they tired of living?

Hinata couldn't bear to disturb her parents' happy life last night. She hesitated at the door for a long time before finally going back to sleep.

Hinata couldn't very well suggest that her parents change their position while they were making love, could she?

Hinata had something on her mind and couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned in bed for half the night before finally falling asleep, but woke up after only a few hours.

Aside from her first day of school and Team 7's first survival exercise, Hinata had never gotten up this early before.

'Bang!'

The bedroom door was pushed open forcefully, Hyuga Hiashi, his face dark, looked down at Hinata, who was standing in the doorway with a well-behaved expression.

Good morning, Father!

Hinata bowed respectfully, displaying the demeanor of a standard aristocratic lady, with a formulaic smile on her face.

"Father, you worked hard last night."

Hyuga Hiashi: "..."

"What's up?"

Hyuga Hiashi's face was grim, and he said stiffly, "It's rare that you can get up so early."

And judging from Hinata's words, could it be that she came here last night?

Hinata's expression remained unchanged. She crossed her hands over her lower abdomen and said politely, "I have something very important to ask you, Father. It's about my confusion regarding cultivation."

'Click!'

Hyuga Hiashi unconsciously tightened his grip on the door frame, crushing the wooden frame into powder. Hyuga Hiashi face had turned completely black.

Hiashi Hyuga was already annoyed at being disturbed so early in the morning, but when Hinata said she wanted to ask about 'training', Hyuga Hiashi had a mental breakdown.

Did you come all this morning just to beat me up?

Hinata glanced at the spot where Hyuga Hiashi crushed it: Was this considered a threat?

"..."

After a moment of silence, Hyuga Hiashi said irritably, "Wait for me."

After going back inside to get dressed and tidying his smooth hair, Hyuga Hiashi walked out with a stern face, glanced at Hinata, and said indifferently, "Let's go!"

Hinata obediently replied, "Yes, Father!"

Arriving at the Training Room with Hyuga Hiashi walked to the Hinata side, assumed the starting stance for Gentle Fist, and wore an expression of heroic sacrifice.

"Bring it on!"

Hinata had three question marks above her head. I didn't come here to fight you, what are you doing?

Besides, if it's about sparring, Hinata isn't in a rush!

Hinata waved her hands repeatedly and said, "It's not about sparring! It's about a real training problem."

Hearing Hinata say this, Hyuga Hiashi also realized the seriousness of the situation.

With Hinata's talent, she has hardly ever asked Hyuga Hiashi for advice on training since she was a child. Generally, whatever Hyuga Hiashi teaches, Hinata can learn immediately.

This made Hyuga Hiashi feel very unfulfilled.

Since Hinata has encountered problems in her training, it must be something serious.

"Sit down and let's talk!"

Kneeling on the ground, Hyuga Hiashi asked solemnly, "Is there something you don't understand about cultivation?"

"Mmm!"

Hinata nodded vigorously and quickly said, "Father, you've heard of the Three Great Sage Regions, right?"

Hyuga Hiashi nodded slightly.

Hinata explained, "Ever since I started training in Sage Mode, I've been thinking about one question."

"Our Hyuga Clan's ancestor Kaguya Otsutsuki, possessed the ability to live forever. The Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku, the White Snake Sage of Ryūchi Cave, and the Slug Sage of Shikkotsu Forest also lived for thousands of years. So what is the reason for this?"

"After years of research, coupled with my intelligence, I finally discovered the key issue."

"It's Natural Energy!"

Seeing that Hyuga Hiashi was listening attentively, Hinata continued, "The God Tree and the Three Great Sage Regions all need Natural Energy for nourishment."

"They first filter out the harmful elements in Natural Energy, and then allow the body to absorb Natural Energy, thereby maintaining the continuation of life."

At this point, Hinata suddenly became a little embarrassed.

"Father, as you know, my physique improved because I absorbed the Chakra of the Otsutsuki. But... but if we're going to conduct experiments on Natural Energy, we'll have to use other people as test subjects..."

Hyuga Hiashi: "..."

This is absolutely infuriating.

Hyuga Hiashi originally thought Hinata was in a bad mood and that he came over early in the morning just to beat him up and improve his mood.

Who would have thought that Hinata came over early in the morning just to use him as an experiment?

Everyone says that daughters are their fathers' little angels, so why is my own daughter... sigh! It's a long story!

Even the obedient and well-behaved Hanabi has gone a bit astray (tears welling up).

Seeing Hyuga Hiashi's ashen face, Hinata quickly explained, "Father, don't worry, this experiment will not be dangerous! If the energy gets out of control, I will definitely help you dispel the Natural Energy in time to ensure your safety and painlessness."

"Natural Energy?"

If you ignore Hinata, who is trying hard to act like a good girl but says things that are just asking for trouble, Hinata's theories are still very appealing to Hyuga Hiashi.

No one doesn't want to live forever, Hyuga Hiashi was no exception.

He not only wanted that, but he also wanted his whole family to live forever.

If 'immortality' were just a Suigetsu, Hyuga Hiashi Hinata definitely rebuke Hinata, telling her to cherish the present and stop thinking about those unimportant things.

There are precedents for immortality in the Shinobi World.

"I remember you said before that the fusion of Natural Energy and Chakra can create Senjutsu Chakra ..."

Hinata nodded and explained, "Yes! That's right."

"But Sage Mode can only use Natural Energy and cannot absorb Natural Energy, and I have never found the reason why."

"Kekkei Genkai can be inherited because of a special constitution."

Hinata shook her head. "But some Kekkei Genkai are actually acquired through training."

"The Chakra of Kekkei Genkai is different from ordinary Chakra. This special Chakra changes the ninja's physique and can be passed down through the physique."

"Hmm... it must have started with changes in the genes!"

Hyuga Hiashi a completely bewildered expression on his face.

Although he doesn't quite understand this viewpoint yet, it makes a lot of sense when he thinks about it carefully.

Hinata continued, "That's why I wanted to conduct experiments on Natural Energy to see if it could be absorbed by the human body along with Chakra."

"I think I understand what you mean."

Chakra we refine Hizashi Hyuga will be wasted if it's not used for combat and training. However, when our bodies are exhausted, Chakra can be converted into physical energy to restore our fatigued bodies."

"So you want to try the possibility of Senjutsu Chakra?"
