Teasing Sister Hinata in front of Brother Neji's blackened expression was even more fun.
Although Sparkle had arranged this mission, one of its purposes was also to improve family relations.
Hyuga Clan family matters, after all.

After snapping out of her dazed state, Hinata was completely overwhelmed by embarrassment.
Hinata had never been able to resist Sparkle's pleading.
She had already been molded into Sparkle's shape.

So the ODM Gear's mobility was practically maxed out here.
But if they were in the sandy lands of the Land of Wind, this ability would probably be useless.
