What the Hell, She's Five? The True Genius, Hinata Hyuga

Eight Trigrams Palms Rotation!

Had Big Brother Hiashi already taught Hinata even this ultimate technique of the Hyuga Clan?

But at Hinata's current age, even if she had begun learning it, she probably couldn't use it yet!

Hizashi Hyuga thought so as he continued approaching Hinata... Yet at that moment, he clearly saw vast amounts of Chakra erupting from the chakra points all over five-year-old Hinata Hyuga's body.

Her body spun in a circular motion like a top. In an instant, a silver Rotational field barrier sent every incoming kunai flying.

!!

Hizashi Hyuga's pupils contracted sharply at the sight, disbelief filling his eyes. He had never expected Hinata to truly be able to use the Hyuga Clan's advanced taijutsu ultimate technique, Eight Trigrams Palms Rotation.

Just as Hizashi Hyuga was distracted, Hinata Hyuga rapidly crossed her hands and formed seals:

Dragon—Ox—Rabbit!

Those were the seals for the C-rank Water Release Ninjutsu, Water Release: Wild Water Wave. Was Hinata planning to attack with ninjutsu this time?

Coming back to his senses, Hizashi Hyuga saw Hinata's seals and a faint smile crossed his lips as he thought to himself:

It's only a C-rank Water Release Ninjutsu, and there isn't even any water nearby to enhance it. A little ninjutsu like that can't hurt your Uncle Hizashi.

After all, your uncle is a Konoha Jonin.

Body Flicker Technique!

Hizashi Hyuga swiftly used Body Flicker Technique to close in on Hinata Hyuga. Yet just as they came within one meter of each other, Hinata finally completed her seals and spewed out an immense torrent of water, raising a wave over ten meters high that crashed fiercely toward Hizashi Hyuga.

!!

Hizashi Hyuga's pupils shrank. He hurriedly withdrew the hand reaching for Hinata Hyuga's neck and tried to use Body Flicker Technique to leave, only to find that the wave was too massive for him to flicker away in time.

So he instead used Eight Trigrams Palms Rotation to block the towering waves, while profound shock arose in his heart:

Was this really the C-rank Water Release Ninjutsu, Water Release: Wild Water Wave? Not the A-rank Water Release Ninjutsu, Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique?

Without a water-rich environment nearby, such as rivers or seas, for Hinata to unleash Water Release Ninjutsu of this magnitude... her talent in Water Release Ninjutsu was probably no less than that of Konoha's Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju!!

Yet just as Hizashi Hyuga grew increasingly shocked, a droplet within the enormous wave washing over him suddenly emitted white smoke and transformed into Hinata. Then, Chakra began surging from the chakra points all over Hinata's body once more.

Reverse Eight Trigrams Palms Rotation!

Hinata created a Rotation that spun in the exact opposite direction from Hizashi Hyuga's Eight Trigrams Palms Rotation. More importantly, as it spun, Hinata's Rotation rapidly neutralized Hizashi Hyuga's Rotation.

And as Hinata began spinning, a deep-blue, constantly rotating ball of Chakra appeared in her hand.

That was the Rasengan.

In only two seconds, Hizashi Hyuga's Rotation was completely neutralized. Hinata closed in on Hizashi Hyuga and, before this uncle of hers could use Transformation Jutsu, Body Flicker Technique, or any other escape ninjutsu, pressed the Rasengan against Hizashi Hyuga's abdomen.

As the spinning Rasengan whipped up a gust of wind that blew over Hizashi Hyuga and raised goosebumps on his arms, Hinata Hyuga slowly spoke:

"You lost, Uncle."

"Yes, I lost."

Hizashi Hyuga looked at the small, five-year-old Hinata before him with a complicated expression.

The Hyuga Clan's ultimate technique: Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms.

The Hyuga Clan's ultimate technique: Eight Trigrams Palms Rotation!

And her ability to unleash C-rank Water Release Ninjutsu in an environment without water, with power comparable to the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju... Finally, she had even used the Fourth Hokage's distinctive A-rank ninjutsu, the Rasengan, to thoroughly defeat him, a Konoha Jonin.

Every bit of it proved that Hinata was the true genius of this generation of the Hyuga Clan, beyond ordinary comprehension.

In fact, Hizashi Hyuga was not the only one present who had been utterly stunned by Hinata's strength. The Hyuga Clan elders, the branch family ninja, and even Hinata's biological father, Hyuga Hiashi, were all shocked.

Hinata had defeated Hizashi Hyuga, a Konoha Jonin, at five years old?!

What the hell, she was five?!

The elderly elders of the Hyuga Clan present could not help but recall the glory of the Hyuga Clan during the era of Hyuga Celestial Ninja as they looked at that small yet imposing figure holding the Rasengan.

Without a doubt, Hinata now possessed talent on par with Hyuga Celestial Ninja's—perhaps even talent that surpassed his.

After all, Hyuga Celestial Ninja... had not possessed the glorious record of defeating a Jonin at five years old!

Perhaps in ten or twenty years, once Hinata had truly matured, she would become Konoha's new Hyuga Celestial Ninja and lead the Hyuga Clan into an even more glorious era!

Among the branch family crowd, the equally small Neji Hyuga was stunned when he saw Hinata defeat his father so easily. His entire body trembled, his small fists clenched tightly, and his heart was filled with shock:

Father was defeated by Hinata, who was even younger than me!

How was that possible?!

How could the main family's heiress be this strong?!

Right, Father must have held back!

Neji thought to himself.

However, he quickly recalled the details of the battle. Thinking of Eight Trigrams Palms Rotation, which even he had not mastered, and techniques such as Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms, all being used by Hinata with effortless ease, his reason told him:

Perhaps Father really hadn't held back. Hinata had truly defeated Father through sheer strength!

But if that was the case, didn't it mean Hinata really might be able to break fate?

Leave Roman behind?!

If she could really do it, would that prove that fate could be broken?

Could my future also escape the fate of the Caged Bird Seal?!!

As he thought about it, Neji Hyuga clenched his fists even tighter.

Just then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Hinata Hyuga turned to Hyuga Hiashi and said, "Father, I want Roman to stay—stay with the Hyuga Clan. I told you, he's very important to me!"

Hearing this, Hyuga Hiashi immediately snapped out of his shock and instinctively opened his mouth to object.

Hinata Hyuga cut him off first. "Father, I advise you to listen to me. Otherwise, my Rasengan is really going to fly."

Upon hearing this, Neji Hyuga cried out anxiously from the crowd:

"Lady Hinata, don't hurt my father!"

At that moment, Hyuga Hiashi swallowed the words he had been about to say. With a deeply furrowed brow, he spoke anxiously:

"Hizashi is your uncle! You're actually willing to hurt your own uncle for an outsider!"

Hinata said sternly, "I told you, Roman is very important to me. And to me, Roman isn't an outsider either."
