Masseuse Aotsuki, Sakura Opens the Eight Gates! (Continued)

Aogetsu Hyuga narrowed his eyes, a glint flashing in them. His understanding of the Gentle Fist and Chakra Points far surpassed Hyuga Hiashi's!

He extended two fingers and swiftly pressed a point just below Hinata's navel.

Even that slight pressure made Hinata, lying on the floor, shudder. Surprise crossed her face.

What was that feeling?!

"An after-training massage feels good, doesn't it?"

Aogetsu Hyuga asked with a smile.

Startled by the sensation, Hinata heard his question and nodded dazedly.

The tight muscles throughout her body really were beginning to relax.

Aogetsu Hyuga used both hands to press one Chakra Point after another with remarkable precision.

Each point helped ease tension and calm the nerves.

For Hinata, who had just finished training, it genuinely worked.

But Aogetsu Hyuga also used Chakra as he massaged her.

It passed through the points and into her meridians,

then

shot toward a particular spot.

That was why Hinata had reacted so strongly a moment ago.

The sensation left Hinata bewildered,

but she never suspected Cangyue had caused it.

After all,

her muscles really were relaxing.

She decided the strange feeling was her own fault.

She was just too sensitive!

That had to be it!

Hinata, Hinata,

how could your mind be so dirty?

Blushing, Hinata scolded herself inwardly.

As Hinata's thoughts ran wild,

Aogetsu Hyuga spoke again.

"Little Hinata, I'm going to press harder now. Tell me if it gets uncomfortable."

"Huh? Wait—"

Hinata had not finished speaking

before Aogetsu Hyuga began the next stage of the massage.

Her whole body trembled.

Then

she immediately clapped a hand over her mouth.

I absolutely

cannot let Cangyue see me like this!

The blood-red rays of the setting sun streamed into the Dojo.

On the other side of the sky,

the moon had begun to appear.
