"Wow, Hinata, that's amazing! You mastered Tree Climbing in less than two hours."
Uchiha Hikari watched Hinata nimbly walk around in the trees, even hanging upside down on the branches, and clapped his hands in encouragement.
"Hehe, it's alright."
Hinata climbed down from the tree, put her hands behind her back, and whispered.
"Don't be too modest. Your Chakra far surpasses that of ordinary people. Controlling it freely is much more difficult than for ordinary people. It's also thanks to your Byakugan that you can promptly identify your shortcomings."
"Alright, you've finished Tree Climbing. Now, I'll teach you a very common Ninjutsu, one of the most frequently used Ninjutsu by the Uchiha Clan."
Uchiha Hikari began Hand Seals.
Si-wei-shen-hai-wu-yin!
" Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
After completing the Hand Seals, Uchiha Hikari opened his mouth and spat out a huge fireball.
Even though she deliberately controlled her Chakra, she was still not to be underestimated.
The scorching air immediately hit her face, making Hinata's little face turn bright red.
"Wow, that's amazing! Sister Hikari's Great Fireball Technique is much bigger than Sasuke-kun's."
Hinata couldn't help but say.
Hearing this, Uchiha Hikari chuckled and ruffled her hair. " Sasuke is still young. He's Uchiha, just like his sister, so it's not surprising that he knows Fire Style."
"Okay, I'll give it a try too. The order of seal formation is: Si-Wei-Shen-Hai-Wu-Yin!"
" Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
Hinata quickly Hand Seals, and the Chakra within her body gathered in her mouth along a fixed route.
With Hinata's soft shout, a huge fireball instantly spewed from her mouth. Although it wasn't as big as Uchiha Hikari's earlier one, it was still about four meters in diameter.
For a child of this age, Hinata's performance is truly outstanding.
Before Sasuke, Chakra, and since he hadn't officially started learning how to use the power of the Tailed Beast, his Great Fireball was only about one meter in diameter.
Hinata is different. Her Byakugan was awakened naturally, and not only is it of high purity, but she has also undergone more than five years of nutritional supplementation. Now Hinata's physique and Chakra are quite amazing. Even though she has not fully grown up, she is already a force to be reckoned with.
This Great Fireball Technique is clearly just about numbers.
The Byakugan's excellent control, combined with his abundant Chakra, allows him to unleash such immense power by controlling the amount of Chakra proportionally.
Who said the Hyuga Clan can only learn that trashy Taijutsu?
Gentle Fist is indeed useful, but its effectiveness is unlikely.
The primary function of the Byakugan is to identify weaknesses in Ninjutsu, not to target pressure points.
While most people can't reach Byakugan's level of Hinata, they can at least predict an enemy's movements by Chakra within their body. If the Hyuga Clan learns any other Ninjutsu, it would be of extraordinary help in battle, instead of just thinking about Gentle Fist.
It can only be said that there's a reason why the Hyuga Clan is so bad.
Taijutsu either have the potential of the Eight Gates Released Formation or can reach the superficial power of the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack; anything else is not very meaningful.
For ordinary people, casual practice is fine, and the difference won't be too great. As for Hinata, she just needs to build a solid foundation in Taijutsu; it's impossible for her to focus solely on Taijutsu.
"Yes, that's great. Hinata is indeed a genius."
When Uchiha Hikari saw Hinata's Great Fireball Technique, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
This kind of Fire Style talent is rare even within the Uchiha Clan.
Hmm, it might also be related to Hinata's constitution.
Uchiha Hikari scrutinized Hinata's still-developing body, its hidden potential now beginning to emerge.
Since the Warring States period, the Hyuga Clan has always been a group of marginal members, only fit to serve as scouts in war. But unexpectedly, Hinata is so outstanding.
Is it Hyuga bloodline that is infinitely close to that of the Ōtsutsuki?
Uchiha Hikari's Sharingan slowly rotated; at this moment, she too felt a desire for that power.
" Sister Hikari."
Hinata gently took Uchiha Hikari's hand.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Distracted from his thoughts, Uchiha Hikari immediately crouched down and looked at Hinata.
What will we learn next?
"Okay, now that you've learned the Great Fireball Technique, let's learn the Shadow Clone Technique. This technique is excellent; it will not only help you in battle but also accelerate your training progress."
I want to learn this!
Hinata nodded immediately.
"Okay, so the first thing to do is learn how to Water Walking."
" Water Walking?"
"Yes, like Tree Climbing, it's training to improve Chakra control."
" Shadow Clone is different from the Great Fireball. It requires even stronger control to create a complete clone. If the Chakra is not well controlled, the Shadow Clone might end up in all sorts of bizarre shapes, or even be missing limbs."
"I see. Let's begin then."
Hinata couldn't wait to start practicing.
"Stop for a bit, rest, and eat something to replenish your energy."
Uchiha Hikari interrupted Hinata's enthusiasm by taking out some prepared snacks from his storage scroll.
"Well?"
"You know, Yuzuru specifically told you that you should eat during breaks, even during training."
"Okay, fine."
Hinata touched her stomach. Actually, she wasn't that hungry, but if she had to say, she was a tiny bit.
Hinata sat down and ate snacks with Uchiha Hikari. About half an hour later, she let out a burp and rubbed her stomach comfortably.
"Okay, I'm full."
Uchiha Hikari was completely stunned.
She hadn't expected Hinata to eat so much after only a short training session.
" Hinata, tell me honestly, did you eat properly this morning?"
Uchiha Hikari looked at her and asked.
"I ate. Mom prepared lots of Hinata's favorite foods, and I'm very full."
Uchiha Hikari:...
Hinata's still growing, has an appetite that's truly unheard of.
Well, considering Hinata's constitution and Chakra, Uchiha Hikari could only let it go.
Hinata's changes were evident to her. Although she had always seemed a little thin since childhood, it was because of her eyes. Those Byakugan, so pure, even made her feel a little uneasy.
Her Sharingan is no ordinary Sharingan, but even so, Hinata's Byakugan has a sense of oppression that is no less than that of her Sharingan.
It's a pity that the Byakugan currently doesn't have any special Dōjutsu.
"Alright, let's warm up a bit, then we'll start practicing Water Walking."
"OK."
After tidying up the ground, the two went to the riverbank, where Uchiha Hikari once again gave a demonstration first.
Hinata activated her Byakugan and observed intently.
She could see the direction and magnitude of Chakra flow within Uchiha Hikari's body, legs, and soles of her feet. In fact, she could clearly see the speed of chakra flow in every part of Uchiha Hikari's Chakra, rather than just the vague Chakra pathways.
This is a terrifying thing, meaning that Hinata's Byakugan can now see much more clearly.
After Uchiha Hikari finished demonstrating, Hinata began to try it herself. She rolled up her trousers, revealing her slender, smooth legs that were as white as jade, and took off her shoes to walk barefoot to the riverbank.
However, Water Walking and Tree Climbing are quite different. Trees are almost stationary, but water is flowing, making them completely different in terms of difficulty.
Hinata only began to grasp the key points after missing several steps in a row.
Uchiha Hikari looked at Hinata, occasionally pointing out her problems.
Unlike the ninja method, Uchiha Hikari taught one-on-one, hands-on instruction, unlike the ninja teacher who would just say a few words, demonstrate once, and then leave the students to their own devices.
Essentially, this stems from the inherent flaws of the ninja system.
Chakra control and nature transformation are essential skills for becoming a high-ranking ninja.
In the world of ninjas, only those who become Chunin Jonin are eligible to enjoy the benefits of the ninja system.
Of course, these benefits are only in appearance.
The reason why those team leaders are irresponsible is because resources are limited. Once a new Chunin or Jonin appears, it means that some older or weaker ninjas have to give way.
Therefore, allowing newly-minted ninjas to Genin up freely is essentially a way to protect one's own interests.
As for the Genin with clans in the team, they don't really need the instructors to teach them, so it's always the commoners at the bottom of the Shinobi World who suffer.
As for the Ninja Academy, they were an utterly worthless policy, essentially just a training ground for cannon fodder in war.
What can a genin who has Genin mastered the Three Basic Techniques do on the battlefield? He'll just be a gofer and die.
Therefore, everything in the Shinobi World is wrong, regardless of whether it's for the sake of civilians or for peace.
As long as ninjas exist, as long as ninja villages exist, it's all nonsense. Everything is based on the ninja and ninja village system; what future do ordinary people have?
Those things that seem to be for the good of ordinary people ultimately serve only the ninjas and ninja villages.
To put it bluntly, they served the daimyo, because the ninja villages were merely tools used by the daimyo to profit.
In times of war, they are weapons; in times of peace, they are tools for making money, since the rewards for ninja missions mostly come from ordinary people.
The Shinobi World's system, rotten to the core, is disgusting. In comparison, feudalism is far superior. At least under a normal feudal system, people can live and work in peace and contentment, whereas this is simply not the case with the ninja system.
The education system in Sea Capital today proves this point. When people no longer live within the framework of ninjas, but instead observe from the perspective of bystanders, they will find that the world has become so rotten that it is beyond redemption.
Not everyone has to become a so-called ninja, and not everyone has to join the Military Department.
Chakra is essentially used to enhance productivity, not for warfare.
Ninjutsu is just one way of using it, and it's also the lowest and worst way.
Meanwhile, the Sea Capital has found more ways to use Chakra finding new uses.
Of course, all these changes stemmed from the man who spent all his time in the experimental area.
