Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack?! Soul Reincarnation Strength?!

After eating their fill, Hinata and Roman didn't immediately cultivate or condense Chakra. For them, simply training to increase their Chakra efficiency was too slow.

On the contrary, the fastest way to increase their Chakra, physical strength, and even Dojutsu Power was not to cultivate, but to simply stay together, holding hands, with their bodies as close as possible, relying on the resonance and mutual vibration of their soul essences.

And so, Hinata Hyuga offered to show Roman around the Hyuga Estate, their new home. She took his hand and strolled through the grounds.

Time flew by, and soon it was night. Only then did the two of them finish exploring every part of the Hyuga Estate and Hyuga Clan grounds, except for the restricted areas.

Roman learned that the Hyuga Clan was a large family, with thousands of people living within it.

These included ordinary hired tenant farmers and servants, who lived in the outermost parts of the clan compound.

Further inside were the Branch Family buildings, which looked very refined, though not yet luxurious.

The truly luxurious and grand houses were in the core area of the Hyuga Clan, where the Hyuga Main Family lived.

All of this showed that the Hyuga Clan was a family that valued rules, with servants, the Branch Family, and the Main Family clearly separated.

Yet, in such a strict and rule-bound clan, Hinata had arranged the best clothes, food, and lodging for him.

This was simply amazing!

As expected of my other half!

Thinking this, Roman couldn't help but kiss Hinata Hyuga's cheek.

Hinata was a little surprised, but she didn't resist. In fact, she even had Roman squat down and kissed his forehead in return.

This scene was, by chance, witnessed by Hiashi Hyuga, the head of the Hyuga Main Family, who was walking nearby. It made him feel like the sky was falling, and his heart utterly collapsed as he thought:

Sure enough!

My daughter Hinata has fallen for Roman!

Damn it! This is outrageous!

My daughter is still so young!!

Thump, thump.

Hiashi Hyuga walked over quickly. His Byakugan eyes coldly stared at Roman and said, "It's late. I've arranged your quarters. I'll take you there now."

Roman raised an eyebrow at this.

Old man Hiashi, you want to take me away from Hinata? Are you trying to lure me away from Hinata and then directly attack me? Or sell me to Danzo, the pot of all evil in this world?

No, I can't go with this old man, Hiashi Hyuga. What if this old man brings the Hyuga Clan elites to attack me, to ambush me?

With only 1.5 Kakashi-level Jonin Chakra, I might actually be taken down.

Roman's mind raced.

At that moment, Hinata sensed Roman's thoughts and stepped forward, shielding Roman behind her. "Father, let me take Roman."

Hiashi Hyuga looked at his daughter, shielding this pretty boy Roman behind her, and couldn't help but twitch.

Finally, after a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Fine!

"The place is in the Branch Family compound, next to your cousin Neji Hyuga!

"You'll see it when you get there."

"Okay."

Hinata Hyuga nodded, then led Roman away.

Hiashi Hyuga stood there, watching the scene, his heart aching more and more. He couldn't understand what had gone wrong with his usual upbringing that made Hinata into such a love-struck girl who only cared about appearances and always sided with outsiders.

Meanwhile, Roman and Hinata Hyuga soon arrived at the Hyuga Branch Family compound and found the house Hiashi Hyuga had mentioned.

Hinata went in first, confirming that the blankets, incense, and pillows were all new and of the same quality as hers, before nodding in satisfaction:

"It seems Father did listen to my conditions."

"Well, that's it for today. I'm going to sleep."

Roman yawned, ready to go to bed.

"Wait."

Hinata raised her hand and placed it on Roman's shoulder.

???

Roman turned his head and looked at Hinata in confusion. Then he sensed Hinata's thoughts and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "You want to..."

"Shhh, don't say it."

Hinata put a finger to her lips, then activated her Byakugan, looking left and right to make sure no one was around. Only then did she perform the Clone Jutsu, transforming into Roman's likeness, and had the clone lie on the bed.

After completing all of this, Hinata whispered to Roman, "Come on, follow me back!"

"Isn't it bad to trick old man Hiashi Hyuga?"

"What's so bad about it? For you and me, staying together for soul resonance and getting stronger is the absolute priority. Don't worry about anything else."

"What if Hiashi Hyuga finds out?"

"Even if he does, just leave it to me. I'm his only daughter, after all; there's no way he'd kill me…"

Hinata Hyuga said this with a hint of impatience, adding, "And Roman, are you a man or not? Why are you being so indecisive?"

Roman gritted his teeth. "You said it yourself! Don't blame me if things go south!"

Under the cover of night, the two quickly made their way to Hinata's residence. Without anyone noticing, they successfully entered Hinata's room and lay down in the same bed, sleeping foot-to-foot.

Nothing happened between them that night, mainly because neither of them had fully matured yet.

The moon set, and the sun rose.

Roman and Hinata woke up from their sleep and immediately noticed that after sleeping in such close proximity, both their physical strength and Chakra levels had significantly increased, jumping up a whole level.

Roman, for instance, found that his Chakra volume had successfully doubled after just one night's sleep, reaching three units—equivalent to three Kakashi Jonin.

Such a Chakra volume was quite unique among Konoha ninjas.

Besides Chakra, Roman's Byakugan Dojutsu Power and physical strength had also greatly improved, reaching a new energy level. Although he hadn't entered the Tenseigan Awakening stage yet, Roman instinctively felt that he was not far from it.

A week, a month?

In short, he would possess Six Paths Level combat power before Naruto grew up to become a Genin and the main storyline of Naruto began!

Meanwhile, Hinata was also sensing the Chakra within her. She checked and found that her Chakra had indeed improved significantly, but it hadn't reached the level of a typical Jonin; she couldn't even compare to Kakashi.

Her Dojutsu Power and physical strength had also increased, but nowhere near as much as Roman's. This made Hinata feel incredibly strange.

"How odd. I'm the direct descendant of the Hyuga Main Family, the one with true Chakra talent, yet after one night of soul resonance, my Byakugan Dojutsu Power and even my Chakra improvement aren't as much as yours."

Roman lowered his head and pondered for a moment before offering his guess: "Perhaps it's because the soul fragment I carried during my reincarnation was larger… so I reincarnated into my original form, and my abilities improved more during soul resonance."

"That's a possibility." Hinata nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this, then seemed to recall something and looked directly into Roman's eyes. "But doesn't that mean the 'strongest link' will shift from me to you from now on?"

"We're truly on the same side. Does it matter who the 'strongest link' is?" Roman chuckled nonchalantly.

"Perhaps in seven days—no, six days—when we re-enter the chaotic hall, a new reincarnated Roman soul fragment will arrive. At that time, that new Roman soul reincarnation might become the new 'strongest link'!

"Then we'll cling tightly to that new 'strongest link' and refine it instantly!"

After speaking, Roman seemed to remember something else and added, "Oh, right. Besides the increase in Chakra, Byakugan Dojutsu Power, and physical strength, I gained something else when I woke up this time!"

Hinata opened her Byakugan, looking curious.

"What?"

Roman raised his hands, looking at the fingerprint patterns on his palms. "I seem to have the Hyuga Clan bloodline, and its purity is extremely high.

"I can instinctively gather Chakra in my palm and release it in a unique way.

"Forming a Vacuum Attack."
