Naruto walked around Karin and reached out to lower her shoulders.
He adjusted Karin's center of gravity to a suitable position, and gently supported her elbow with his fingertips to correct the angle of her defensive movements.
Karin was manipulated by Naruto for a long time, and finally came up with a decent Taijutsu starting move, and smiled proudly at Hinata.
"Okay Karin, don't be complacent."
"Try two moves with me first. Strike with all your strength, no need to hold back."
"Hinata, come and see what the problem is with Karin."
Naruto took two steps back and waved to Karin.
Karin took a deep breath, exerted force on his feet and rushed towards Naruto, swinging out his right fist with all his strength, without reservation.
On one side of her body, Naruto lightly avoided Karin's attack trajectory, and at the same time, her fingers lightly touched the elbow joint of her right arm.
Karin's arm was instantly brought down by a precise force. His whole body leaned forward and almost fell forward. He staggered two steps before he managed to stabilize himself.
Karin shook her arm, turned around again and rushed towards Naruto. This time she tried to attack in the east and west.
First take a feint step to the left of Naruto, then change direction and attack from the right.
Naruto still stood in place without moving even half a minute. The moment Karin changed direction, he gently hooked her ankle with his toes.
"Crack!"
Karin fell to the ground and buried his face in the grass. When he got up, there was a piece of broken grass blade on the tip of his nose.
Hinata carefully watched the battle between Karin and Naruto, and then analyzed:
"After Karin takes the first step, his eyes will always be fixed on the location where he is going to attack. The opponent can easily guess the direction of the next step."
"In addition, the center of gravity will tend to tilt toward the toes after punching. If the opponent's backhand carries you slightly, you will lose your balance."
Naruto nodded.
"Did you hear Karin? Hinata understands your problem better than yourself."
"Don't keep your eyes on the position you want to hit. Look at the opponent's shoulders and waist."
"When punching, the center of gravity is pressed half an inch back on the back foot. Even if the punch misses, you can still recover your posture."
Karin sat on the ground and rubbed his sore chin, looked at Naruto with a look of grievance, then looked at Hinata, and muttered, "Hinata, how can you even see this!"
Then he got up from the ground and regained his posture.
"Okay, it's Hinata's turn next."
Naruto turned around and looked at Hinata. When Hinata saw Naruto walking towards him, the tips of his ears turned red uncontrollably.
She could spar with Neji all afternoon at the Hyuga Clan's training ground without any expression on her face, but when she stood opposite Naruto, her fist-clenching posture involuntarily became stiff.
"Hinata, relax."
"Show off the momentum you told me during the Chunin Ninja Exams qualifiers."
Naruto smiled slightly at Hinata.
Hinata nodded vigorously when he heard the words, took a deep breath and moved into the starting position of Eight Trigrams Palm.
Move your palms forward and back, your center of gravity sinks, and slide your left foot half a step forward, keeping your steps steady and light.
She took the lead towards Naruto, pushing it out with one palm, quickly and accurately, and her palm was covered with a thin layer of Chakra.
This is Hyuga Clan Gentle Fist's standard starting move. The attack angle is tricky and it goes straight to Naruto's shoulder acupoint.
Naruto ducked sideways and flicked the inside of her wrist lightly.
Hinata felt his wrist go numb, but without stopping, he turned around and swung his other palm diagonally from below to hit Naruto's waist.
Naruto slid back half a step, allowing Hinata's palm to brush against the corner of his clothes, and commented:
"This palm is good, the angle and timing are very good, if it takes half a beat, you can touch me."
Hinata bit his lips, his cheeks were red and hot, his steps were steady, and he continued to follow the movement trajectory of Naruto and strike out continuously.
The two exchanged dozens of moves back and forth in the yard, Hinata's Gentle Fist's moves were accurate.
Naruto was blocking and dodging, while occasionally reaching out to rub the top of her head, flicking behind her ears, and patting her lower back.
Every time it is touched, the rhythm of Hinata's palm movements will obviously change for a few beats, and the red color on the face will spread from the tips of the ears to the neck.
Karin looked at Naruto teasing Hinata and laughed until his stomach hurt.
"Naruto, don't keep touching Hinata's head, she's almost smoking!"
Naruto took back the finger that was about to flick Hinata's forehead and took a step back.
"Okay, that's it."
"Hinata, your Gentle Fist is already much stronger than when you were Chunin Ninja Exams. The trajectory of your palm is no longer so straight. You have learned to use the rotation of your body to create angles."
"The next thing you need to strengthen is to maintain the stability of your mentality in actual combat, and don't mess up your rhythm just because of your opponent's little moves."
"As for Karin..."
Naruto turned to look at Karin who was still sitting cross-legged under the persimmon tree. "Hinata has analyzed your problem very clearly for you."
"Starting from tomorrow, I will run five kilometers every morning, and then practice two hundred basic punches."
"Hinata and I will come over from time to time to supervise you."
Karin was drinking water and spit out the water when he heard this training plan.
"Five... five kilometers?"
"Five kilometers is the passing line for Genin physical training."
"Your foundation is too poor. If you don't solidify your physical fitness and basic postures first, you will be easily injured in whatever you learn later."
Karin put the cup on the stone table, hugged his knees and began to seriously think about whether he should quit the ninja industry and open a herbal medicine shop.
Naruto ignored Karin's thoughts and sat down on the stone bench next to Hinata.
Hinata is still standing in the middle of the field, with his hands folded in front of him. He has not completely come out of the state of sparring with Naruto just now.
She stood with her head down for a while, then raised her head and looked at Naruto, her lips moved.
"Naruto-kun... I..."
It seemed that he mustered up a lot of courage, but he swallowed half of the words before he spoke.
"What's wrong?" Naruto turned his head and looked at Hinata.
"I... I want to spar with Naruto-kun again."
"This time I won't be distracted by you touching my head again!"
Hinata's voice shook a little when she said this, but her eyes did not dodge.
The moonlight fell on Hinata's red but extremely serious face.
Naruto smiled slightly, then nodded.
He stood up and walked back to the center of the yard. "Come on!"
Hinata resumed the starting position of Gentle Fist, and his breathing gradually changed from rapid to steady.
The moonlight shone on her body, her white eyes stared at Naruto without blinking, her fingers were slightly spread, and the Chakra on her palm glowed with a very faint blue light in the moonlight.
Early the next morning
An announcement was posted on all the bulletin boards of Konoha.
"Elder Council member Shimura Danzō is suspected of kidnapping Konoha Ninja, illegal imprisonment, abuse of power and multiple acts that seriously endanger the security of the village. He will be revoked from his position as elder with immediate effect. After all crimes are investigated, he will be publicly executed in front of the entire village."
This news was like a bombshell, causing an uproar in Konoha.
After tea and dinner in the streets and alleys, everyone was talking about Danzo. Some people clapped their hands and praised it, some were surprised and doubtful, and some were silent.
The door of Hokage Office has been broken down by Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura.
The two came to Hokage Office to repeatedly confirm the authenticity of the announcement, and then took turns persuading Elder Tsunade that the crime could be dealt with internally. Public execution would make Konoha lose face in front of all countries.
Tsunade leaned on the back of the chair, with his hands crossed in front of Hokage Cloak, with a tough attitude that left no room for error.
After finally sending the two elders away, Tsunade just picked up the teacup and was about to take a breath, when a ANBU wearing a cat face mask appeared silently in front of the desk, presenting a scroll with both hands.
Tsunade put down the teacup and unfolded the scroll, glanced at the content on it, raised his eyebrows, and then his whole face darkened.
"Asshole!"
