Rotation: Modified

These reports detailed experiments on individuals who became Jinchuriki and utilized the power of the bizarre creatures sealed within them.

Among these reports, Hinata found one that piqued her interest.

It was the experiment codenamed "Headcutter."

When she first saw "Headcutter," Hinata didn't quite grasp it. It wasn't until she read the specific details that she realized—this was a report on the very ropes she possessed.

Calling it "Headcutter" had almost made her fail to recognize it.

But then again, the name "Headcutter" was quite fitting.

Didn't this rope kill people by hanging them by the neck and snapping it?

The report stated that "Headcutter" was sealed within a ninja.

The ninja's method of using "Headcutter" was to make the ropes extend from their palms or various parts of their body to entangle enemies. The headless giant corpse could also be controlled, but this accelerated "Headcutter's" erosion of the body, and there weren't many experimental reports on it.

emmmmmmm...

Seeing that no one was in the room, Hinata released "Headcutter (Large)."

She watched as the ropes hanging from the ceiling beams went from one, to two, then three, gradually filling the entire beam. Then she retracted the ropes.

Next, she spread open her left hand, and from the hair entwined around her left middle finger, blood seeped out, dripping onto the ground.

The dripping blood gathered on the ground into a headless blood figure less than ten centimeters tall. Under Hinata's control, the blood figure performed various movements. Then, the blood figure transformed into blood and flowed back into the hair that sealed it.

It felt completely different from what the Root reports described.

Finally, Hinata attributed this difference to physique, as individual constitutions couldn't be generalized.

After finishing all the reports, Hinata left the study.

It was dinnertime, and her mother was waiting for her to eat.

As for Hyuga Hiashi, after leaving the study, he headed directly to the Hokage Building.

He had tried his best to keep his daughter away from those bizarre creatures, but on her very first day of school, all his efforts had been in vain.

This was something the Third Hokage needed to address!

It was predictable that he wouldn't be the only parent kicking down the Hokage's office door today!

While eating, Hinata looked at her mother, who was sitting opposite her with a swollen belly.

Soon, her sister Hanabi would be born.

But now, Hinata was pondering a question.

Looking back at the entire history of the Hokage, her mother seemed to be completely absent.

Hinata didn't know the reason why, but with her present, it would be hard for her mother to die.

"Hyuga Hinata, duel me!"

Hinata looked at Sasuke, who was blocking her path, and replied, "Okay."

Three years had passed since the start of the academy. Hinata and the other rookies in her class were now eight years old.

"This time, I'm definitely going to win!"

"When do you not say that?" Shikamaru muttered from the corner.

"Shikamaru, are we going to watch this time too?" Choji, the chubby kid, asked Shikamaru while eating.

"Of course."

In this dull school, only the usual duels between Hinata and Sasuke could add a splash of color to their monotonous lives.

"No!"

"Hinata, don't agree!"

However, there were those who didn't want to see Hinata and Sasuke duel, like Sakura, Ino, and the other young girls.

It wasn't that they didn't want to see their cute Hinata get hurt, but they were worried that Sasuke would be beaten into a pig's head again.

In the past three years, Sasuke had challenged Hinata to duels countless times and lost countless times. He had never won even once.

Each time he was beaten black and blue, his miserable appearance deeply pained Sasuke's many fangirls.

Sasuke naturally knew he wasn't Hinata's match, but today was different.

When the two arrived at the training grounds, quite a few students had already gathered. Even the teachers were present; they were there to be referees.

After forming the hand seals for confrontation, Sasuke immediately leaped far away.

Based on past painful experiences, every time Hinata got close, he was rendered completely unable to fight back and would lose in extreme frustration.

The key was that they were still young and their chakra was insufficient. When they couldn't use ninjutsu, they relied on taijutsu in fights. At most, they would use projectile weapons.

But this time was different!

Amidst the shocked gazes of the surrounding classmates, he began to form hand seals.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

This isn't over yet. After releasing one ninjutsu, he began to form hand seals again.

"Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"

Two ninjutsu in a row, a large and several small fireballs flew towards Hinata.

"This is bad!"

Seeing the fireballs hit Hinata, the proctor teacher realized something was wrong and rushed to save her.

But as soon as he moved, he found that Hinata's aura hadn't changed, as if she hadn't been harmed.

Then, the teacher showed a look of surprise that Sasuke hadn't even shown when he consecutively released two ninjutsu.

As the rolling flames produced by the several fireballs hitting Hinata began to distort, they then dissipated.

Amidst the shocked expressions of the crowd, Hinata appeared completely unharmed.

"Rotation: Modified!"

"How is this possible!?"

Seeing Sasuke shout in surprise for everyone, as he adopted a taijutsu stance that he didn't recognize.

Among everyone present, Sasuke was the most unable to accept this outcome.

In order to defeat Hinata once, he had kept the Great Fireball Technique, which he had learned a long time ago, hidden and unused. He had felt that winning with only that one ninjutsu wouldn't be enough against Hinata.

After learning the Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, he couldn't wait to challenge Hinata to a duel. But he didn't expect to still not win.

"A decent power for a Fire Style."

Stepping on the scorched grass from the Fire Style, Hinata walked towards Sasuke.

Sasuke: "#!"

Sasuke felt insulted. His Fire Style, which hadn't even harmed a single hair on her, and she called it "decent"?

But he couldn't afford to overthink it now, as the duel was still ongoing.

Although his chakra was depleted after using two ninjutsu in succession, making it extremely difficult to even squeeze out a trace of chakra.

But for him, Uchiha Sasuke, to admit defeat was impossible!

Then, under the pained gazes of the watching classmates, Hinata raised her delicate fist and blew a punch to Sasuke's face.

Instantly, the sound of flesh meeting flesh, and Sasuke's muffled groans, rang out.

In the end, it was the teacher who stopped Hinata's one-sided beating.

After forming the reconciliation hand seal with Sasuke, Hinata left the training ground.

Sasuke also left, always slinking away from the training ground after dueling Hinata.

He then returned home with a bruised and swollen face, feeling extremely conflicted.

Hinata and Sasuke had gone home, but the scene of their duel had greatly surprised the watching classmates.

After all, it had only been a few years since they learned to refine chakra.

With their bodies not yet fully developed, limited time, and insufficient chakra, they didn't even have enough chakra to use one ninjutsu, let alone two in rapid succession.

But what surprised them even more was what taijutsu Hinata had used to block the two ninjutsu.

"What a pain..."

Shikamaru already foresaw that after his father found out about this duel, it would be worse than when he was learning ninjutsu.

This made him exclaim "what a pain," as he truly hated troublesome things.
