Gossip Among Girls and a New Idea

"Huh? Is that so? You've succeeded?"

In the private room of the teahouse, Hinata looked at Sakura with a face full of surprise.

Hinata had only casually mentioned it to Sakura, suggesting that Sakura learn Medical Ninjutsu while also studying Genjutsu.

Hinata had almost forgotten about this, but she never expected that Sakura would make Great Breakthrough in both Genjutsu and Medical Ninjutsu at the same time.

Unlike the delicate and fragile little girl she used to be, Sakura now has a rather heroic and spirited air about her, and she has become much more confident, with a heroic spirit emanating from her brows.

Hinata looked at Ino again.

Ino hasn't changed much from before; she's always been a very confident girl, but she must have grown a lot in the last two years!

"You can't be the only one getting stronger!"

Ino tied her loose hair back up and winked playfully at Hinata.

It's worth mentioning that Hinata, Sakura, and Ino had just come out of the hot spring. Having lived in the dry climate of Sunagakure for so long, Hinata missed the hot spring in Konoha the most.

Of course, Hinata would be even happier if Ino and Sakura could accompany her to the hot springs.

Sakura took a sip of tea and casually remarked, "By the way, everyone has changed so much lately!"

Ino nodded in agreement, saying, "Especially that Shikamaru guy. He used to be such a lazy person, but lately he's been incredibly busy. I have no idea what he's been busy with."

Unlike intelligent people like Shikamaru, the affairs between the village's higher-ups and the Hyuga Clan do not affect the relationships of the younger generation.

People like Ino and Sakura had never even heard of these rumors.

Hinata grinned mischievously, deciding to give Shikamaru some trouble.

"Ino, you didn't know?!"

Hinata looked utterly surprised and said in an exaggerated tone, "Shikamaru and Temari from Sunagakure have this kind of relationship..."

Hinata made the 'dating' gesture in sign language, then put one hand to her mouth and said mysteriously, "I saw them secretly dating when I was in Sunagakure!"

"Dating!?"

Ino and Sakura clearly didn't believe it, especially Ino, who confidently declared, "Someone like Shikamaru could never find a girlfriend!"

Sakura looked surprised Outer Path, "Hinata, could you be mistaken? They should be discussing business!"

"You absolutely cannot be mistaken!"

Hinata gave a look that said, "I've discovered a big secret," and beckoned the two of them to come closer. Then she lowered her voice and said, "I can tell the difference between discussing business and using business as a pretext for personal matters. Shikamaru and Temari are clearly pretending to discuss business, but they're actually having a secret date!"

Ino looked at Hinata with suspicion. "It's really hard to believe that Hinata found out!"

"..."

Hinata was furious. "What do you mean by saying that it's unbelievable because I found out about it?"

"Ino, explain yourself!"

Ino waved her hands repeatedly. "Okay, okay! I'm not doubting you..."

"Actually, I've also noticed that Shikamaru's relationship with Temari from the Sand Village is a bit unusual!"

Seeing Ino say this, Sakura began to question the meaning of life.

Even Shikamaru...

At gatherings of men, the conversations usually revolve around women, the current political situation, or the strength of a particular ninja.

Most of the time, when women get together, they only have one topic to talk about.

That's Eight Trigrams!

Hinata, Sakura, Ino chatted about Kakashi Shikamaru, then Kakashi, then about Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi's love, and finally about the forbidden romance between Anko and Orochimaru.

Hinata is a fan of the Tsunade and Orochimaru pairing, but Ino has a different opinion. She actually thinks Tsunade and Shikaku Nara a good match, but unfortunately, Shikaku is already married.

Before we knew it, the sky outside had been dyed golden by the setting sun.

Hinata said goodbye to Sakura and Ino, and strolled leisurely home.

Relaxation after a period of stress can indeed make people feel much more relaxed.

"Everyone has grown a lot!"

Every time Hinata sees her after they part ways, she discovers that several of the main characters have grown.

Even Sakura, a little girl who doesn't seem to have much talent, has achieved success in Genjutsu and Medical Ninjutsu.

For ninjas, 'techniques' are not just simple moves for fighting enemies.

The process of a ninja learning Ninjutsu is actually a process of understanding Chakra.

If we interpret ninja training scientifically, then learning Ninjutsu is essentially learning knowledge, progressing from the most basic to the most Ninjutsu, thereby fully understanding and mastering one's own Chakra.

This is also Orochimaru's opinion!

Sakura possesses a dual personality and is also talented in Genjutsu and Medical Ninjutsu, making her very suitable for training in Yin-Yang Release.

"As expected of the female lead from the Original Story, this power-up is incredibly strong!"

Hinata rubbed her nose.

In fact, Hinata's current training is similar to Sakura's.

Based on her previous academic exchanges with Orochimaru, Hinata that if she wanted to turn her Dōjutsu into Ninjutsu, she needed to accumulate basic knowledge.

Take the "All-Knowing, All-Powerful" technique for example. Theoretically, "All-Knowing, All-Powerful" is a technique that Hinata can activate using her own power.

However, the prerequisite for activating 'All-Knowing, All-Powerful' is that one must rely on the power of the eyes.

Hinata's understanding and mastery of 'techniques' are not yet sufficient to activate 'All-Knowing, All-Powerful'.

In a sense, Dōjutsu are like a pre-written program; Hinata only needs to follow this program to activate the 'technique'.

For ninjas, learning Ninjutsu is equivalent to learning programming.

Thinking of Sakura, Hinata couldn't help but think of herself.

"In a way, I guess I also have a dual soul?"

Hinata felt that since she was a transmigrator, even if her soul had 'devoured' or 'suppressed' the original soul of this body, the soul that truly belonged to Hinata might still exist in some special way.

Perhaps it was devoured by Hinata's soul, or perhaps it hides in some corner of her body, or perhaps it exists in the Pure Land.

As Hinata pondered this, she arrived at the gate of the Hyuga residence.

Push open the door...

Hinata pondered all the way.

Actually, if you could have a 'secondary personality' that you could completely control, you could multitask while cultivating, which would be quite an amazing cheat code.

Hinata sometimes thinks that if she had transmigrated into Sakura's body, with her triple soul, she might have been able to easily achieve a 'Kekkei Tōta' similar to Dust Release.

"But... what should we do?"

Hinata kept walking forward with her head down, and bumped into some clueless guy with a 'bang'.
