Naruto World, Konoha.
Hyuga Estate, in the room of Hinata, the eldest daughter of the Main Family, a chaotic flash swept through the empty room, and two figures immediately appeared:
Roman and Hinata.
The two smiled at each other and communicated through mental thoughts.
Hinata said, "We're back. Back at the familiar Hyuga Estate."
"That's right. If we want to enter Chaos Hall again, we'll have to wait another seven days."
As Roman spoke, he lowered his head and stared at his palm.
Seeing this, Hinata asked curiously, "In Chaos Hall just now, you encountered... Big Thunder. How did it feel?"
Roman was somewhat speechless. "You're asking me? Didn't you synchronize with my senses?"
Hinata pointed at herself. "I did, but I still want to ask you. How did it compare to mine?"
"Big Thunder and Small Thunder feel entirely different in the hand, but in my eyes, neither is superior to the other. The only difference is their size."
Roman pondered for a moment before saying, "If I absolutely had to evaluate how they felt, then I can only say that I want them both!"
Hinata shot him a reproachful look. "You really are greedy. You want not only Big Thunder, but Small Thunder too. Aren't you worried you'll go too far and make them explode?"
Roman coughed. "Ahem, actually, right now I want to learn more about Small Thunder."
"That's only because Big Thunder—the pirate Nami—isn't here." Hinata rolled her eyes, then added:
"Besides, you can't do anything right now. Father has arranged personal guards outside the room to monitor us. If we make even the slightest noise in here, they'll hear everything."
"Mm." Roman nodded, irritation surfacing on his face. "That old Hyuga bastard isn't acting human. Sending so many people to watch us—what an asshole."
"Indeed."
Hinata nodded, her expression full of agreement.
For Hinata, being monitored constantly over the past seven days had been extremely unpleasant. Usually, she could only hold Roman's hand and could not go any further to achieve deeper Soul Resonance.
What was more, with people watching outside every day... every night, she had no way to pull Roman over to lie in the same bed and meditate... Soul Resonance!
This directly slowed the rate at which the two of them grew stronger by quite a bit.
Originally, over the past seven days, Hinata's Chakra should not have stopped at one Kakashi. It should have reached two Kakashis—the amount of Chakra possessed by two Jonin Kakashis.
Roman's Chakra, meanwhile, should have grown to twenty Kakashis.
Yet all of this had been stopped by her father, Hyuga Hiashi...
More importantly, as time passed, after she and Roman achieved Soul Resonance, the Chakra within their bodies was destined to grow greater and greater.
It would have been fine if the two stayed indoors, but if they went out, the abnormal amount of Chakra in their bodies would definitely be noticed.
They had to find a way to solve this problem.
Hinata began to think deeply.
Time passed swiftly, and suddenly, an abrupt knock sounded at the door.
"Who is it?"
Having already made up her mind, Hinata stopped thinking and looked toward the door together with Roman.
Then, the next moment, a majestic voice came from outside. "Me. Your father, the head of the Hyuga Main Family, Hyuga Hiashi!"
Hearing this, Hinata instinctively replied, "Father, I happened to be looking for you."
"You were looking for me, Hinata? Don't tell such lies."
Hyuga Hiashi opened the door with a dark expression, glaring murderously at Roman as he said:
"Hinata, you used to be a good child. You behaved yourself every day. But ever since you picked Roman up from outside, you've become a lazy bum who never leaves the house and stays indoors all day except to eat!
"The elders of the Family, including your old father, are all extremely dissatisfied with you staying in your room and indulging in male beauty.
"From today onward—no, from this very moment onward—you must devote most of your time to training."
Hinata raised her head, a look of confusion on her face. "Training?"
Hyuga Hiashi said, "Training in ninjutsu.
"Seven days ago, didn't you read through many secret techniques in the Main Family's secret chamber?
"Yet over these past seven days, you haven't practiced even once!"
Hinata said, "Father, I have been training throughout these seven days... and I have already learned and mastered all of the Family's secret techniques."
"You've been training and practicing all along? Hehe!!"
Hyuga Hiashi was so angry he laughed, his chest heaving even more violently as he raised a hand and pointed at Hinata.
"If that were true, why have the personal guards I stationed around your residence never seen you training...
"They only saw you holding hands with Roman, and even... even playing around during meals, pretending to be mother and son, father and daughter."
Hearing this, Hinata's little face furrowed slightly. "Father, I'm already grown up. Please have your personal guards leave the area around my residence. Stop making them use their Byakugan to spy on your daughter's and Roman's privacy."
"Have them leave? No, absolutely not."
Images flashed through Hyuga Hiashi's mind of Hinata being deceived for a second time by that blond Roman and doing all sorts of things.
Only after taking a deep breath did he forcibly suppress the surging emotions in his heart.
"In any case, today, you must come with me to the training grounds at the Hyuga Estate and train in ninjutsu."
"Fine." Hinata nodded and stood up. Then she raised a slender, pale arm and pointed a finger at Hyuga Hiashi. "But I want to fight you, Father!
"If I win, you must withdraw the personal guards monitoring the area around my residence!
"Let Roman and me stop living those monitored, unfree lives!
"Let Roman and me train freely."
"You want freedom?"
Hyuga Hiashi grew even angrier. Veins bulged on his forehead as he clenched his fists.
At this moment, he had already made up his mind!
Fight!
And this time, Hyuga Hiashi intended to go all out and thoroughly defeat his daughter, Hinata Hyuga, so she would understand that there was always someone stronger and a higher sky beyond the heavens.
She must not think that defeating a careless Hizashi Hyuga, who failed to dodge, made her invincible!
"I accept."
After saying that, Hyuga Hiashi turned and strode toward the Hyuga Estate's training grounds.
After Hinata and Roman exchanged a glance, the two also stepped out of the room.
As for the members of the Hyuga Branch Family guarding the area around the room, they were all sharp-eared, sharp-eyed ninjas. Naturally, they had heard the conversation between the Hyuga Main Family Head, Hyuga Hiashi, and the Main Family's eldest daughter, Hinata Hyuga.
Knowing that this father and daughter were about to fight, all sorts of thoughts arose in their hearts:
A father-daughter showdown?
A loving father and a filial daughter?!
How exciting! How exciting!
And most importantly, Lady Hinata Hyuga had even defeated the Branch Family Head... Whether it had been because of carelessness or some other reason, Hinata Hyuga had won that battle!
And now, Lord Hiashi was going to fight Lady Hinata. This was a rare battle between Jonin-level experts!!
They had to go watch!!
Follow them!!
