Vacuum Attack vs. Eight Trigrams Palms Rotation!

The spectators who had activated their Byakugan to observe the battle details suddenly discovered a terrifying truth:

Hinata's Chakra wasn't weaker than her father Hiashi Hyuga's; on the contrary, it was several times greater than his. In terms of Chakra volume, she could even rival the Fourth Hokage or even the Third Hokage—those who held the title of Hokage!

But the problem was, how old was Hinata? She wasn't even eight yet... And what was even more crucial was that, while she had shown an extraordinary amount of Chakra during her last fight with Hizashi Hyuga of the Branch Family, it was nowhere near this much!

What's more, Hinata possessed such a vast amount of Chakra at such a young age.

When she truly matured and became an adult, the amount of Chakra in her body might just reach the "Chakra-ton" level of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, or perhaps even have a slim chance of reaching the "Chakra-ocean" level of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, an astronomical amount of Chakra!

After recovering from their deep shock, the Main Family elders pondered these thoughts, and expressions of ecstatic joy appeared on their wrinkled, aged faces.

At this very moment, the Main Family elders were already imagining Hinata's future ten years from now, when she truly matured—her strength rivaling that of a Kage.

She would be an individual capable of influencing a ninja war with her personal power.

—A new generation's Hyuga Celestial Ninja!

Meanwhile, Hizashi Hyuga, standing among the Branch Family members, also activated his Byakugan and saw the Chakra within Hinata's body, which was dozens of times greater than that of a normal Jonin. He was slightly stunned:

*Hinata's Chakra is much greater than when she fought me.

It could even be said that it's more than my older brother Hiashi Hyuga's. Could it be... is it really possible for Hinata to... win?!

No, impossible...*

The next instant, Hizashi Hyuga dismissed the thought in his mind and made a judgment internally:

A battle between ninjas isn't decided simply by the amount of Chakra one possesses.

To truly determine a winner, factors such as the mindset during the battle, the tactics employed, the number of Ninjutsu mastered, and skill... all need to be considered.

And it just so happened that while his older brother, Hiashi Hyuga, hadn't seen much frontline action and lacked extensive combat experience, his daily training was absolutely sufficient. He was far stronger than Hinata, who didn't even come to the training grounds once in seven days.

Therefore, the victor of this battle would still be his older brother, Hiashi Hyuga... Hinata was still young, after all, like a newborn bird that needed to be watched over, cared for, and kept in a cage.

In the center of the training grounds, Hiashi Hyuga also noticed the abnormally large amount of Chakra in Hinata's body. In that instant, he recalled what Hinata had told him in the past—that he had another purpose for finding Roman, and it wasn't just to find a man...

*Could it be that Roman can even help increase others' Chakra?!

How is that possible!

After all, Roman himself doesn't have any Chakra!

So, Hinata's rapid increase in Chakra is... Orochimaru?!

Orochimaru, on that day, gave up on kidnapping Hinata, but he used some kind of method on her!

Just like the Cursed Seal he placed on his disciple Anko Mitarashi when he defected from the village?!*

Thinking of this, Hiashi Hyuga said, "Hinata, the Cursed Seal Orochimaru placed on you must have side effects. Don't use Orochimaru's power anymore."

The Main Family elders, and even Hizashi Hyuga, showed a look of sudden realization upon hearing Hiashi's words:

Hinata's Chakra wouldn't skyrocket for no reason... If all of this was a method set up by Orochimaru after Hinata was kidnapped to the Forest of Death, then it makes sense!

He, perhaps, is using Hinata's body to conduct an experiment... like a human Tailed Beast project?!

Immediately, the Main Family elders thought of a dangerous possibility, their faces changing, and they quickly said:

"Hinata, stop using Orochimaru's power; it will be dangerous!"

"Yes, that's right... Using Orochimaru's power to increase Chakra will make you Orochimaru's human experiment, and you might even die!"

*Orochimaru's power?

Dangerous?

Side effects?*

Upon hearing these words, Hinata looked up at her father and the Main Family elders, a slight tug at the corner of her lips as she secretly thought:

*What an imagination!

They actually attributed the abnormal increase in Chakra in my body to Orochimaru's methods!

However... Orochimaru might have already discovered Jugo and started researching Jugo's Sage Body, developing the power of the Cursed Seal... He really is a perfect scapegoat!

Good!

Let's blame all the abnormalities about me, all of it, on Orochimaru!

Next, I just need to play along.*

Thinking this, Hinata took a deep breath and said, "Father, elders, I feel no discomfort at all right now. Let us continue this battle.

"—And don't you dare forget, after I win this fight, you will grant me and Roman true freedom!"

The moment her words fell, Hinata shot out like an arrow released from a bow.

Rapidly closing the distance.

Hiashi Hyuga frowned when he saw his daughter still fighting. He went all out, ending the battle as quickly as possible to prevent Hinata from falling victim to Orochimaru's schemes.

Whoosh!

Hiashi Hyuga shot forward, his hands raised, glowing with Chakra. He unleashed an S-rank Ninjutsu Taijutsu:

Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms!

He aimed for Hinata's weak points, intending to cut off her Chakra flow!

However, Hinata also possessed the Byakugan and could see the attacks. Furthermore, she had the physical enhancements of Nami, a Super Pirate from the Pirate World, making her movements extremely fast.

So, she clenched her fists. In an instant, blue flames, resembling a lion's head, appeared on her fists, looking incredibly majestic.

This was a secret technique of the Hyuga Clan:

Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists!

Bang!

The hands burning with lion-headed flames blocked Hiashi Hyuga's first palm, then his second... three... five... ten... all were blocked.

But that wasn't the most crucial part. The most crucial thing was that Hiashi Hyuga discovered his hands, which Hinata had blocked, were starting to throb with pain!

How was that possible!

How could Hinata's physical body be so strong?

Was this another one of Orochimaru's mysterious techniques?!

Hiashi Hyuga's eyes sharpened at that moment, and his palm strikes became even faster.

Twenty... thirty... sixty-four...

Hiashi Hyuga's palms became blurs, striking at Hinata's major acupoints. Although Hinata was still small, she was incredibly agile, using Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists to block every single attack!

Moreover, as Hiashi Hyuga launched his sixty-fifth palm, Hinata unleashed an attack extremely similar to the Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist, perhaps even sharing the same origin!

Vacuum Attack!
