Developing Hyuga Chakra

Chapter 7: Hyuga Chakra—Development Ideas

"Hyuga Ningyuan, who's Yūhi Kurenai?" No sooner had Ningyuan spoken than Obito asked curiously.

What woman had such charm that one should marry none but Yūhi Kurenai?

Ningyuan raised an eyebrow and pulled his deskmate up.

"I, I am Yūhi Kurenai!"

"Ehhhh~~~~" The whole class erupted instantly. All the boys turned to look at Yūhi Kurenai; those in the back even stood to rush forward for a better view.

After seeing her, they felt the statement wasn't wrong—Yūhi Kurenai really was adorable!

As for the girls.

"What's the big deal? I'm cute too, you know!"

"Yeah, we're not bad either!"

"Hmph." Obito curled his lip and turned his head. "I think he's even more full of himself than you are!"

Kakashi rolled his eyes. What did that have to do with him?

Still, a kid not studying hard but thinking about getting a wife—he'd thought that with the Hyuga Clan's reputation, one of their disciples would be a worthy rival.

Now it seemed, nothing special!

"Ahem!" Teruhi Sōun tapped the desk. "Quiet down, everyone quiet, let Yūhi Kurenai introduce herself!"

"Uh, I'm Yūhi Kurenai. I like spicy food, hate sweets and cake, and my future dream is to become a great kunoichi like Lady Tsunade!"

"You're doomed, you've got no chance!" Kotetsu Hagane said to Izumo Kamizuki. "You like sweets, she likes spicy!"

"What's that got to do with me?" Izumo Kamizuki rolled his eyes in annoyance.

To be fair, he was pretty bummed. He knew he had no chance, but what if?

Once Yūhi Kurenai sat down, Hyuga Ningyuan leaned in and whispered, "Believe it or not, you're about to become famous. Within half a day, everyone in this school will come to see you. By tonight, your house will be packed. In three days, all of Konoha will know your name!"

"How is that possible!" Yūhi Kurenai didn't believe it. "Just because of one line from you?"

"Just because of one line from me!" Hyuga Ningyuan smiled. "Don't underestimate people's love for gossip!"

"Uh." Yūhi Kurenai blinked, not quite understanding.

"Just wait and see!" Hyuga Ningyuan closed his eyes after saying that, then opened the system interface.

A little flirtation was fine; too much was worse than not enough.

"How strange." Yūhi Kurenai blinked. Not paying you any more attention!

[You performed one movement activity. Movement Experience +1, General Experience +1]

This came from walking all the way from the Hyuga compound to the formation assembly. Combined with the earlier sleep and eating, it gave Hyuga Ningyuan some grasp of the system's usage.

From start to finish of one task counted as one activity, recording one experience.

So the question was: while walking, he was also talking, flirting, and holding hands—why weren't those counted as skills?

Was it impossible to perform two activities at the same time?

Or did those activities have no clear start and end, so they didn't count?

Or did the system only record the primary activity in a given period?

"Hands together!"

"Physical energy!"

"Spiritual energy!"

If he were starting from zero to extract chakra, it would take a lot of time—at least a day or two, maybe three to five.

But his predecessor had already endured that hardship. Now Hyuga Ningyuan had muscle memory; he felt something the moment he closed his eyes.

A bit of physical energy and a bit of spiritual energy fused into a mass of chakra.

"Seems... not hard." Feeling the warm lump in his abdomen, Hyuga Ningyuan confirmed it wasn't an illusion.

Next, he tried to control that chakra.

The method was simple: just think it.

After all, part of chakra was spiritual energy, so naturally it could be shaped and moved by will.

But the textbook said hand seals were the way to control chakra.

Hyuga Ningyuan tried forming a single Ram seal, confirmed the change in his chakra, and then understood the difference between will-based control and seal-based control.

Will-controlled chakra was just controlling chakra.

Seal-based control, however, processed or programmed the chakra.

If he willed chakra to his mouth and spat it out, it would be a mass of unaffiliated chakra. But using a seal to expel it could produce water or fire.

Opening his eyes, Hyuga Ningyuan flipped open the Ninja Knowledge textbook to the section on meridians, browsing while personally sensing his chakra.

The human body had five points for expelling chakra: the palms of both hands, the soles of both feet, and the mouth. Among these, the meridian at the mouth was the broadest, followed by the feet, and finally the hands.

Large-scale techniques are usually expelled from the mouth, and secondly, by pressing both palms to the ground to channel chakra into the earth.

There are also techniques that release chakra through the meridians in the feet, such as the Second Hokage's Water Release: Water Colliding Wave, where water is generated directly from beneath the feet.

Additionally, the Body Flicker Technique should also be performed by releasing chakra through the feet.

There's also tree climbing and water walking, which release chakra from the feet as well.

But these are all experiences of ordinary people. Hyuga Ningyuan is from the Hyuga Clan, and his clan's chakra is quite special—it can be released from all the acupuncture points in the body.

"Releasing chakra into the air, it can persist for 44 seconds!"

"Chakra also seems to have some ability to interfere with matter." Hyuga Ningyuan tore a small piece of paper from his notebook and placed it on the chakra in his palm. The chakra actually lifted the paper scrap.

Hyuga Ningyuan turned his head and saw Yūhi Kurenai staring wide-eyed, looking very surprised.

"What's wrong?" Hyuga Ningyuan asked.

"How did you do that?" Kurenai pointed curiously at the palm of Hyuga Ningyuan's hand.

"Lifting the paper?" Hyuga Ningyuan thought for a moment and said, "This is just how Hyuga Clan chakra works!"

"Oh, oh!" Kurenai nodded. A bloodline trait—that explained it, so no need to be curious.

"So ordinary ninja chakra doesn't have this property." Hyuga Ningyuan considered it and confirmed that the ability to lift matter should be exclusive to the Hyuga Clan.

That's why the Hyuga Clan has techniques like Void Palm—because Hyuga chakra can directly interfere with matter, so by concentrating chakra and striking out, it can injure someone.

He suddenly understood why the Hyuga Clan didn't bother with elemental ninjutsu—it seemed there really was no need.

Others need to elemental-transform their chakra to gain lethality, but the Hyuga Clan doesn't need such complexity; their chakra inherently possesses it.

"Tailed Beast Chakra, Activated Chakra." Hyuga Ningyuan expanded his thoughts. Their clan's chakra was special, but it wasn't unique.

Tailed Beast Chakra also has the effect of interfering with matter, and it's even more effective, with more astonishing lethality, because Tailed Beast Chakra is element + chakra.

Activated Chakra is the chakra of Hoshigakure ninjas, mutated by radiation interference, which also grants the ability to interfere with matter.

Thus, Hoshigakure ninjas developed the Mysterious Peacock Method, which not only allows chakra to form beasts to attack enemies but even creates wings for flight!

These two types of chakra provided Hyuga Ningyuan with two paths for developing his chakra.

The former is chakra elemental transformation. Once Hyuga Clan chakra undergoes elemental transformation, its power will definitely surpass that of ordinary people's chakra, possibly even rivaling a Tailed Beast.

The latter is to further deepen this ability to interfere with matter, then combine it with Shape Transformation. In time, it could not only form wings for flight but also be shaped into a giant mecha!

Who says only the Uchiha Clan can pilot a giant mecha? The Hyuga Clan can too!

If elemental transformation, activation, and shape transformation are all pushed to their limits, it might not necessarily be inferior to Wood Release!

After all, aren't they also descendants of the Six Paths Clan?
