Power (Continued)

Hinata roughly estimated that if she wanted to take down a Tailed Beast with a single blow, she would probably need four Gentle Fist strikes to deal with one like this.

After Matatabi broke free, she instinctively moved away from Hinata.

It was not because she had gotten smarter. It was simply an instinctive reaction.

Hinata smiled. Interesting. Very interesting.

She suddenly seemed to have thought of a good idea.

Then she suddenly spoke loudly. Her voice was not small, but it was not a roar either. Though loud, it remained deep and low.

"Lightning, come."

She pointed at the sky.

Everyone suddenly felt like looking at her as if she were an idiot.

But remembering the strength she had displayed just now, they decided it was better to be cautious.

Far away, after Kurama Mutsu saw Hinata's gesture and heard her words,

she seemed rather speechless. But naturally, she did not want their leader to lose face, so she aimed at the position of the Tailed Beast in the painting on the drawing board before her.

A bolt of lightning immediately descended upon its head. Seemingly dissatisfied, she drew several more.

The next moment, in reality, as Hinata's voice fell, despite there being no dark clouds in the sky,

a bolt of lightning crashed straight down upon Matatabi.

Then came two bolts, three bolts, until roughly eight bolts of lightning swept across the entire battlefield.

Never mind their power—the sight alone left everyone dumbfounded.

It was not that Hinata deliberately wanted to show off.

She simply wanted to make what happened today seem even more fantastical.

After all, she knew that the entire ninja world would likely begin searching for information on her, this mysterious powerhouse. She might as well leave them with an even more unfathomable impression.
