It was around three in the morning. Kamizuki, waking from a deep sleep, groggily climbed out of his futon.

As he opened his eyes, a moonlight-colored glow emanated from his gaze in the otherwise dark room.

Within Kamizuki's luminous eyes, the two comma-shaped black and white magatama, resembling fish, spun. They rotated faster and faster within his vision.

Kamizuki felt an incredible sense of exhilaration. He also discovered that his eyes' perception now extended to a diameter of one kilometer.

After a brief observation of his surroundings, finding no anomalies, he got dressed and quietly left the room, heading towards the training hall.

Upon entering the training hall, Kamizuki began to attempt to refine his chakra.

This attempt yielded astonishing results; he discovered a significant increase in his internal chakra reserves.

Kamizuki was only five years old. Before receiving Hamura's Inheritance, his chakra level barely reached the peak of a genin. After receiving the inheritance, his current level was equivalent to that of a preliminary jonin.

It's important to note that for a ninja, progressing from genin to chūnin normally takes three to five years of training. From chūnin to jonin requires another five to ten years, with some individuals of lesser talent struggling to advance beyond the chūnin level. The level of a kage-class ninja is only attainable by exceptionally gifted prodigies, let alone the rare existence of super kage-level ninjas. Then there are god-level ninjas, of whom only three can currently be considered as such: Otsutsuki Kaguya, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, and Hamura Otsutsuki.

Uh! As for beings like Gamamaru, it's unclear if they fit into this category.

After receiving Hamura's Inheritance, Kamizuki, in this short period, had astonishingly advanced from the peak of genin strength to the early stage of jonin. This speed was truly unprecedented!

What Kamizuki didn't know was that his chakra reserves were far greater than this. It was simply that due to his young age, this was the maximum amount his body could currently contain. A portion of his uncontainable chakra had been sealed away by Hamura in a hidden corner of his body.

Kamizuki slowly calmed his excited emotions, which had surged due to the sudden increase in his chakra. In his heart, he silently offered his gratitude to Hamura.

Without Hamura's Inheritance, he couldn't imagine how many years he would have had to train arduously to achieve this level.

After thanking Hamura, Kamizuki circulated his chakra through his meridians. He felt a surge of refreshing energy throughout his body and a heightened sense of alertness.

Kamizuki exhaled, then focused his mind on his sea of consciousness, searching for the integrated aspects of Hamura's Inheritance.

In his previous life, while watching the globally popular "Naruto: Shippuden" drawn by AB, a question had always lingered in his mind: "Do the members of the Hyuga Clan actually use ninjutsu?"

He recalled that throughout the anime, he had never seen anyone from the Hyuga Clan use any techniques other than the "Gentle Fist." They hadn't even used the most basic of the Three Body Techniques.

(The basic Three Body Techniques referred to here are: Substitution Technique, Transformation Technique, and Clone Technique.)

Later, after transmigrating and being reborn into this world of ninjas, he had specifically sought out his cheap father, Hyuga Hiashi, for an explanation.

Hiashi had answered him thus: "Because the meridians of us Hyuga are naturally more fragile than those of ordinary people, if we were to use ninjutsu other than the Gentle Fist, our meridians would rupture. In lighter cases, it would render us cripples with severed meridians, and in severe cases, it would be fatal."

Upon hearing Hiashi's explanation, Kamizuki certainly didn't believe it. He thought, "If that were truly the case, how could the Hyuga Clan be one of Konoha's strongest clans, on par with the Uchiha? It simply doesn't add up!"

However, Kamizuki eventually found the ultimate answer to this secret within Hamura's Inheritance.

This secret of the Hyuga Clan was explained in Hamura's Inheritance as follows: "Before Hamura departed for the moon, he left his son on the ground. To prevent future conflicts between his descendants and his brother's descendants, and to prevent the world from descending into further chaos, he placed a restriction on this son."

The reason found, Kamizuki continued reading. To his delight, the method to break this "restriction" was also present in Hamura's Inheritance.

When Kamizuki attempted to remove the restriction on himself using the method from Hamura's Inheritance, he succeeded. He also discovered that individuals possessing the Tenseigan, just like those with the Rinnegan, could also utilize chakra with elemental nature transformations.

Just as Kamizuki was using the method from Hamura's Inheritance to remove the restriction, the door to the training hall was suddenly pushed open.

The person who had arrived was none other than Kamizuki's twin sister, Hinata Hyuga.

Since Kamizuki had been waking up early for several hours of morning training every day since he was two years old.

Hinata, starting at the age of three, also began waking up early with Kamizuki for morning training. Gradually, they both developed this good habit.

Today was the day the Ninja Academy opened. As this was Hinata's first time attending school, she was slightly excited.

In fact, she had woken up past three o'clock. Lying on her futon, she simply couldn't sleep. After tossing and turning for over an hour, she finally couldn't bear it any longer. So, she boldly got up by herself, changed into her training clothes, and came to the training hall to exercise.

What Hinata hadn't expected was that her twin brother, whom the clan members called the "prodigy young master," had woken up even earlier than her today.

After Hinata entered the training hall, Kamizuki greeted her. He then pondered, "Should I also help this lovely elder sister remove the restriction that prevents her from using ninjutsu?"

Kamizuki thought for a moment and felt that his current strength was still too weak. He decided to wait a little longer. He would wait until he reached kage-level strength in the future before helping the clan members one by one to remove that restriction.

(Note 1: Once the restriction is removed, future generations of the Hyuga Clan will no longer be subject to it.)

(Note 2: This explanation might be a bit far-fetched. Due to the author's limited imagination, a better explanation couldn't be conceived. Please bear with it.)

If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author; perhaps the title has been changed!
