Hinata learned that she could take the Jonin exam after the New Year and agreed to train Hanabi in Palm Rotation. While practicing Sage Mode in Konoha's Back Mountain, she realized her body was adapting to it faster and concluded that Jiraiya's advice to save it for emergencies had slowed her progress.
