"Um... well..." Hinata scratched her head, but finally decided to tell the truth, "Father, have you ever seen this move before?"
As she spoke, Hinata stuck out her little tongue and licked around.
Hyuga Hiashi: "..."
Hinata's face was serious, but her tone was somewhat impatient. "Let me tell you, that guy was really strong. Just his killing intent alone was several times stronger than Zabuza and Kakashi's. If I hadn't run away quickly, he would have definitely killed me!"
Hyuga Hiashi and the Great Elder exchanged a glance, then Hinata, "I think I know who you're talking about. You did a great job!"
The Great Elder also exclaimed, "Sharp insight and intuition for danger are essential qualities for becoming an excellent ninja."
Hinata blushed slightly. "I'm getting embarrassed by all the compliments you've given me!"
"Cough cough!"
The Great Elder coughed lightly and said calmly, "The Third Exam will be in a month, and dignitaries from all countries will be there to watch. Hinata, you are the heir of our Hyuga Main Family, so you must perform well and win first place in the Chunin Ninja Exams."
Hinata looked slightly troubled and tentatively said, "But... with my current strength, even without intensive training, they're no match for me! As for training, I think... maybe we should just give up!"
Hyuga Hiashi's face hardened, and he said seriously, "This time you are absolutely not allowed to slack off. One of us, the Great Elder and I, will be watching your training."
This is really going to be a disaster.
When one plan failed, Hinata devised another. "But I also want to create another ultimate move within this month!"
"With your Hiashi, I believe you can succeed."
Hinata was about to show her joy when Hyuga Hiashi continued, "However, creating your own ninjutsu is not something that can be done overnight. You can think about it slowly in your spare time."
Hinata took a deep breath and said, "I..."
Hyuga Hiashi interrupted, "I know what you're thinking, but I won't show any mercy for the next month."
Hinata tentatively asked, "Is it only for this one month?"
"..."
'Slap! Slap! Slap...'
Hinata couldn't fight against Hyuga Hiashi, so she had no choice but to practice with him methodically.
Knowing Hinata's true abilities, Hyuga Hiashi also unleashed his full power in Gentle Fist.
Although Hinata was forced into a disadvantageous position, she showed no signs of defeat.
Hinata has already mastered most of the Gentle Fist techniques of the Hyuga Main Family; the rest are things that don't matter whether she learns them or not.
The training of Gentle Fist is a process of going from simple to complex, and then from complex to simple again.
Once you reach Hinata's or Hyuga Hiashi's level, aside from those powerful special techniques, the only way to improve your strength is to constantly practice the most basic Gentle Fist and start training from the most fundamental chakra.
Hinata had previously guessed that for the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan to evolve, talent alone was not enough; they also needed to train day and night.
Perhaps many Hyuga Clan ninjas throughout history, after reaching the level of Hyuga Hiashi or Kage Level, found that their progress was slow or even impossible, so they simply gave up training and maintained their current level of strength.
Therefore, for a thousand years, no one in the Hyuga Clan has been able to make the Byakugan advance any further.
The sparring sessions between Hinata and Hyuga Hiashi not only deepened their understanding of Gentle Fist, but also involved them activating their Byakugan during combat. The faster the battle, the more effective the Byakugan training became.
Unlike the Sharingan, the Byakugan doesn't have different levels of evolution, such as One-Tomoe, Two Tomoe, and Three Tomoe.
The initial Byakugan only requires gathering enough chakra to awaken.
As one's strength increases, the Byakugan can see further and more clearly, but it also consumes more chakra.
However, there will eventually be an upper limit.
Once you reach the limit of Byakugan, what you need to do is change the very essence of chakra.
For the Hyuga Clan ninjas, this change requires constant and arduous practice of Gentle Fist.
Hinata and Hyuga Hiashi did not use any of the special techniques of Gentle Fist; they only used the most basic Gentle Fist techniques in their fight.
Seeing his daughter grow up, Hyuga Hiashi felt very gratified.
Time flies. Just a few years ago, Hinata wasn't even up to Hyuga Hiashi's waist.
When Hinata first trained, Hinata was not even five years old and could only barely hit Hyuga Hiashi's thigh.
In the blink of an eye, Hinata was already able to fight Hyuga Hiashi without being defeated.
A moment later, Hyuga Hiashi, having repelled Hinata, said calmly, "Alright, let's rest for a while, reflect on what we've learned in this battle, and then continue our training!"
Hinata glanced furtively at Hyuga Hiashi, as if she had noticed something, and said with great interest, "It's alright, Father, I'm not tired at all, let's continue training!"
After saying that, Hinata launched another attack, Hyuga Hiashi had no choice but to parry.
Hyuga Hiashi should have felt gratified that his daughter had taken the initiative to train.
But if the daughter's motivation for training is to beat up her father, Hyuga Hiashi will feel nothing but helplessness and exhaustion.
Hyuga Hiashi was also shocked; Hinata's chakra reserves were enormous. Just over a year ago, Hinata's chakra was only slightly higher than his, but now it was several times higher.
The Hyuga Clan already possessed far more chakra than ordinary ninjas, but Hinata's chakra reserves far exceeded those of the Hyuga Clan.
"What exactly is going on?"
Chakra is the foundation of a ninja. A person with a high amount of chakra is not necessarily a strong person, but a strong person must have a very high amount of chakra.
Hyuga Hiashi recalled the strange things about Hinata.
Aside from her personality, Hinata's only other trait is that she has an enormous appetite...
Hyuga Hiashi Minato Namikaze, so he naturally met Minato Namikaze's wife Kushina Uzumaki.
The Uzumaki Clan is a long-lived ninja family that is proficient in Sealing Jutsu. Their advantage lies in their extremely large amount of chakra.
Hyuga Hiashi carefully analyzed that chakra is a combination of spiritual and physical energy, and that Kushina Uzumaki and Naruto Uzumaki have similar personalities...
Could it be that people with eccentric personalities have higher chakra reserves than normal people?
That seems to make some sense!
And with Hinata's huge appetite, where did all that food go?
Is the real reason Hinata such a large amount of chakra that she strengthens her body through eating, and strengthens her mental power through... well, through abnormal brain circuits?
Hyuga Hiashi thought to himself, "Should I give it a try too?"
I imagine myself scribbling on the Hokage Rock like Naruto, and I imagine myself eating and drinking like Hinata...
Hyuga Hiashi shuddered. "I'd rather not become stronger than become like them!"
Hinata seized the opportunity and struck Hyuga Hiashi in the abdomen with a palm strike. Seeing that Hyuga Hiashi really had no time to defend, Hinata withdrew her chakra and used only the force of her arm to knock Hyuga Hiashi back.
Sigh! After all, he's still the biological father of this body; it's not a good idea to get a kidney transplant!
Everything for Mom!
