"..."
Hinata slowly stood up, looking down at her hands with a somewhat bewildered expression.
Jiraiya somewhat stunned. Despite his pride in his extensive knowledge, he had no idea what changes had occurred within Hinata's body.
The scene then jumps back one minute.
Senjutsu Chakra is a new type of chakra generated by the combination of spiritual energy, physical energy, and Natural Energy.
In Hinata's classification of chakra levels, Senjutsu Chakra ranks second among all energy levels, second only to Six Paths Chakra.
The reason is that ordinary chakra can damage Sage Mode, but it cannot damage Six Paths Mode.
Hinata's method of cultivating Senjutsu is very different from the methods used in the Three Great Sage Regions.
Hinata uses her chakra to overflow through the pressure points throughout her body, actively sensing the energy in nature...
As Hinata's own chakra sensed the Natural Energy, the chakra that overflowed from Hinata's body naturally absorbed the Natural Energy and evolved into Senjutsu Chakra.
Important! Hinata's chakra evolves into Senjutsu Chakra outside her body before being absorbed into her Hinata.
Hinata knew that cultivating Senjutsu required maintaining a balance of the three types of energy, so Hinata worked hard to maintain this balance while absorbing Natural Energy into her body.
Hinata could sense that there was a chakra within her that was somewhat incompatible with her own chakra.
If Hinata hadn't worked hard to maintain the balance, the two streams of chakra would have clashed long ago.
And that's exactly why Jiraiya confused.
Hinata's first attempt at Senjutsu seemed to have yielded results, but the characteristics of Sage Mode didn't appear on Hinata face, making it seem like she had failed.
After carefully sensing for a moment, Hinata suddenly struck an Air Palm rock five meters away.
'BOOM——'
The boulder exploded instantly, shattering into small pieces as it flew backward.
The power of her ninjutsu has increased significantly, but Hinata doesn't experience the same all-around attribute boost as she does in Sage Mode.
Jiraiya's eyes flickered.
Hinata did indeed possess the power of Senjutsu.
Although Hinata had just absorbed Natural Energy, she did not enter Sage Mode.
She didn't enter Sage Mode, but she could still use Senjutsu... This shows that Hinata's control over chakra is extremely amazing.
Hinata first fused the Senjutsu Chakra her body, then absorbed it into her body and held it firmly in control before unleashing a palm strike...
Having learned about Hinata's current situation, Jiraiya's tendency to be a know-it-all immediately kicked in.
Jiraiya glanced at Hinata a few times. Hmm! She's a girl with a lot of potential!
I must salvage my perfect image in the eyes of cute girls!
"Cough cough!"
Jiraiya coughed lightly, exuding an aura of 'enlightened master'. With a serious expression, he said solemnly, "Young lady! It seems your control over Natural Energy has reached a level where you can control it freely..."
"I call this energy Senjutsu Chakra. Once you successfully cultivate it, it can greatly enhance all of your body's abilities."
Hinata looked at Jiraiya with a serious expression and humbly asked, "Senpai, may I ask how I should train in Senjutsu Chakra?"
Jiraiya's expression suddenly changed, and he said in an extremely lewd tone, "Since this energy is called Natural Energy, then to master Natural Energy, one must first get closer to nature..."
"Actually... your initial idea was very good... When I was cultivating Senjutsu, I was completely naked..."
"Go to hell!"
Hinata, enraged, attacked, Jiraiya flying with a single, Air Palm strike.
Jiraiya was sent flying backwards as expected, rolling around on the ground several times before struggling to his feet. Jiraiya dusted himself off, showing no signs of injury.
Hinata: "..."
Jiraiya is so resilient; it's all Tsunade for training Jiraiya so strong with her Monster Strength Fist.
Where exactly did this corrupt and evil trend in Konoha originate?
It's the Third!
As expected, like father, like son. Starting with the Third, the Hokage lineage has inherited a lecherous nature... voyeurism, reading erotic novels, and Sexy Jutsu.
Konoha is beyond saving!
Although Jiraiya had been beaten up, he was the kind of person who would rather die than not be bothered. Instead of showing any remorse, he continued to instruct, "Controlling Natural Energy is extremely dangerous, young lady! Although you can fuse Senjutsu Chakra outside your body, once you inhale it, it will cause an imbalance of the three energies..."
"You should have already sensed the danger of energy imbalance during your cultivation."
Hinata earnestly asked, "Senpai, what exactly should I do?"
Jiraiya said, "There are no shortcuts to mastering Senjutsu; you can only experiment again and again..."
"You can now condense Senjutsu Chakra outside your body. Once your body is familiar with Natural Energy, you can try to directly absorb Natural Energy into your body and condense Senjutsu Chakra within it!"
Hinata nodded; in fact, Hinata had the same idea at first.
Jiraiya continued, "However... gathering Senjutsu Chakra within the body is an extremely dangerous process. If one is not careful, one may be assimilated by Natural Energy."
At this point, Jiraiya suddenly became lewd. "So when you're practicing Senjutsu, it's best to have a powerful senior who's proficient in Senjutsu 'closely' guiding you..."
"Cough cough!"
Jiraiya coughed lightly and kept gesturing to Hinata, indicating that the 'powerful senior' who was proficient in Senjutsu Mode was both far away and right in front of them!
Hinata remained silent.
Cultivating Senjutsu is important, but... do I have to sell my body to cultivate Senjutsu?
Especially since this person is already old and not handsome!
Of course, even if Jiraiya handsome, Hinata would never be so shameless!
Replacing her with Tsunade would be better!
Hinata suddenly had a thought.
Now that we have sensed the existence of Natural Energy, the next step in our cultivation is to become familiar with this feeling.
Make sensing Natural Energy an instinct of the body.
Hinata gathers Senjutsu Chakra outside her body, so there's a technique that can have a surprisingly effective effect.
"Twenty Gods Vacuum Attack!"
Hinata clenched her fists, and azure Chakra Fist appeared. Under the Byakugan's vision, the meridians and pressure points within the Chakra Fist were clearly visible.
Hinata first stabilized the chakra in her Chakra Fist, then absorbed Natural Energy and condensed it into her Chakra Fist...
The Senjutsu Chakra Fist was born!
Jiraiya witnessed firsthand Hinata's entire process of learning Senjutsu.
Hinata was the first to sense the existence of Natural Energy in the outside world where Natural Energy was scarce.
Then, through the technique of Heavenly Spin and the subtle control of chakra gained from practicing Gentle Fist, he condensed Senjutsu Chakra outside his body and then absorbed it into his body.
This wouldn't have been a problem originally, since Hinata couldn't enter Sage Mode due to the imbalance of the three types of energy within her body.
Moreover, Hinata's method is completely unusable in actual combat.
But what's with this Chakra Fist?
Jiraiya: Holy crap! Did I run into a bug today?
