Interpreting Ninja Training Through Cultivation

"Tch~"

Hiashi Hyuga spoke mysteriously about the Hyuga Hiashi, but Hinata eventually discovered that he actually knew less than she did.

When the Hyuga Clan first began to pass down its lineage, Kaguya Otsutsuki had already been sealed away, so the Hyuga Clan knew very little about it.

Moreover, with the passage of time and the wars in the Shinobi World, many things were eventually lost.

However, there was one thing that piqued Hinata's interest.

That was an incomplete version of the Gentle Fist Secret Technique, or rather, Gentle Fist Forbidden Technique.

It is a truly forbidden technique.

The Hyuga Clan's strongest attack technique, Mountain Breaker, evolved from this incomplete forbidden technique.

This is a secret that only the Hyuga Main Family head's lineage is qualified to know.

After listening to Hyuga Hiashi's explanation, Hinata's expression became somewhat serious.

Too much is missing.

Some have said that Minato Namikaze perfected the Flying Thunder God Technique, and Orochimaru perfected the Impure World Reincarnation.

But before that, these two forbidden techniques were ultimately just incomplete versions.

However, this secret technique is an incomplete version.

In fact, Hinata knows far more about things than Hyuga Hiashi does.

For example, Senjutsu.

Of the few powerful ninjas in the Shinobi World who have mastered Senjutsu, almost none have displayed its power in public so far.

Very few people know that Senjutsu exist.

At least Hyuga Hiashi was unaware of this.

This incomplete version of the secret technique involves the manipulation of Natural Energy.

Hyuga Hiashi believed that only Hyuga Clan ninjas with a large amount of chakra were qualified to perfect and learn this technique.

Because along with this technique, a saying has also been passed down, "Arouse resonance with one's own chakra."

Without knowing about Natural Energy, Hyuga Hiashi could only assume that using this technique required a massive amount of chakra.

But Hinata understood in an instant that this was Natural Energy.

Therefore, this move could very well be an incomplete version of the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack.

After saying goodbye to Hyuga Hiashi, Hinata took a bath and returned to her room.

Lying in bed, Hinata pondered how to perfect and master the true version of the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack.

For a powerful figure like Kaguya Otsutsuki, who has mastered Yin-Yang Release and possesses Natural Energy by consuming the God Tree Fruit, the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack might just be an ordinary basic attack for her.

But for Hinata right now, it's incredibly difficult.

Hinata is no longer limited to the knowledge of Gentle Fist and Ninjutsu in this world.

Cultivating Natural Energy is actually somewhat similar to cultivating immortality.

Hinata had read many cultivation novels in her previous life, so her imagination was far beyond that of people in this world.

Although most of it is made up, it can still give Hinata some hints and help her Hinata imagination.

If we compare a ninja's normal training to the Foundation Establishment Stage, then cultivating Natural Energy is undoubtedly the Qi Condensation Stage... or it can be described as Refining Essence to Qi and Refining Qi to Spirit.

Then comes the Golden Core Stage, the Nascent Soul Stage...

Hinata stared blankly at the ceiling; her demeanor was becoming increasingly strange.

However, if we use the cultivation knowledge from the world of immortal cultivation to interpret ninja training, this comparison seems to make sense.

According to the cultivation methods in the world of immortal cultivation, the Foundation Establishment Stage is actually about consolidating one's own foundation and cultivating internal energy, while the Qi Condensation Stage is about drawing spiritual energy from heaven and earth into the body.

However, in the Ninja World, apart from the Three Great Sage Regions, the Natural Energy outside is extremely thin, and ordinary ninjas cannot perceive it at all.

But sparse does not mean non-existent.

After Naruto achieves Senjutsu, he can also absorb Natural Energy from the outside world to enter Sage Mode.

So ultimately, the first step in cultivating Senjutsu is to perceive Natural Energy, and the second step is how to control it.

Hinata felt like her head was about to explode.

But Hinata really has a wild idea.

The existence of the Byakugan allows one to clearly see the meridians and acupoints within the body.

Gentle Fist is a Taijutsu that involves controlling chakra to a very subtle degree.

The Hyuga Clan's Heavenly Spin allows them to release chakra through all the pressure points on their bodies.

But these are all used against the enemy.

But what would happen if these were used in reverse for one's own cultivation?

Hinata continues to let her imagination run wild.

Since the Byakugan can see one's own meridians and acupoints, the Heavenly Spin can release chakra through all the acupoints in the body, and by practicing Gentle Fist, one can subtly control the flow of each chakra...

So, if one slowly releases their own chakra using the technique of Heavenly Spin, is it possible to sense the insignificant Natural Energy in the natural world through chakra perception?

Then, using his own chakra, he channeled this energy into his body.

Thus, one enters the Qi Condensation Stage?

However, Jiraiya once said that the key to cultivating Senjutsu is to maintain a relative balance between the spiritual energy, physical energy, and Natural Energy within the body.

However, Minato Namikaze's example tells us that as long as Natural Energy does not exceed the limits of mental and physical energy, one can still use Senjutsu.

Yes, Minato Namikaze can't enter Sage Mode, but he can use Senjutsu.

Hinata's requirements are not high; she just wants to be able to draw upon Natural Energy like Minato Namikaze.

Although it's impossible to enter the Three Great Sage Regions for training, if Hinata's idea is plausible, it's not impossible to cultivate Senjutsu even outside the world.

Or, to put it another way, it's simply about sensing and using Natural Energy.

Hinata suddenly jumped out of bed.

Action speaks louder than words.

No matter how much you talk about it or how imaginative you are, nothing beats trying it out for yourself.

Hinata climbed off the bed and sat cross-legged on the floor.

"Byakugan!"

When you activate your Byakugan, your meridians and acupoints become clearly visible.

Hinata had already learned the Heavenly Spin, but the Heavenly Spin involves releasing chakra through all the body's pressure points at an extremely fast speed and then spinning it.

Hinata, however, was now using the technique of Heavenly Spin to slowly release chakra from her body's pressure points.

Chakra can be controlled by oneself as long as it doesn't stray too far from the body, though it's extremely difficult.

It is even more difficult to control chakra while also calming down to sense Natural Energy.

Hinata recalls Naruto's journey of learning Senjutsu.

There is a scene where Naruto sits on a mountaintop, meditating and sensing the power of nature.

Mount Myōboku possesses immense Natural Energy, which Naruto can sense even without Natural Energy like the Heavenly Spin.

While the Natural Energy in the outside world is scarce, Hinata has a technique called Heavenly Spin, which allows her to release chakra through acupoints throughout her body and sense the Natural Energy in the outside world.

But the two have one thing in common: mindful meditation.

Hinata usually likes to daydream, especially after having such a wild idea just now, she's so excited that she can't calm down at all.

"Exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale..."

Hinata could only force herself to calm down; the idea that came to her mind today was truly amazing!
