Hokage, no one knows better than me how to cultivate talent.

Chapter 111 Hinata's Revenge (Part 2)

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly accelerated, sprinted a few steps, and then jumped up, clenched his right fist, raised it high, and used the momentum of his fall to smash it hard into Hinata's head.

The fist created a gust of wind, its force immense.

If that punch landed, it wouldn't just be a little girl; even a boy the same age would be knocked down.

Hinata stood still, without retreating.

There was no sign of panic on her face, and she didn't show much emotion at all.

Gouda Takeshi's wild, flailing movements in the air became slow and clear in her eyes. His waist and abdomen were not strong enough, his center of gravity was off, and a large gap was exposed under his right ribs. He was full of mistakes.

She lowered her waist slightly and slowly spread her hands in front of her, assuming the starting stance of the Soft Fist Bagua Sixty-Four Palms.

Chakra light gathered at his fingertips, and his whole body was like a fully drawn bow, ready to be released.

When Takeshi Gouda saw that Hinata hadn't dodged but instead assumed a fighting stance, a smug smile appeared on his lips.

Who would dare to go head-to-head with his fist, which is as big as a sandbag?

That's utterly nonsensical.

His fist was getting closer and closer to Hinata's head.

Hinata moved.

She did not choose to confront him directly.

Even with her current strength, if she were to take Gouda Takeshi's punch head-on, he would definitely not be her match.

But the essence of Soft Fist has never been about using force to resist force.

It uses softness to overcome hardness, borrows strength to strike back, and achieves the greatest results with the least cost.

Her hands traced two smooth arcs in the air, like two nimble white snakes, swiftly and gracefully wrapping around Takeshi Gouda's arm.

Her fingertips lightly touched his body like dragonflies skimming the water, each touch precisely landing on a specific acupoint.

One, two, three, four...

Two seconds.

In just two seconds, sixteen blows.

Each palm strike carried the unique chakra of Gentle Fist, precisely sealing sixteen pressure points on Takeshi Gouda's body.

As the number of palm strikes increases, so does their power.

This is the characteristic of soft boxing: the more you hit, the heavier and more painful it becomes.

Those hit will also experience a stiffening effect, as if bound by invisible ropes, unable to move.

Before Gouda Takeshi could even wipe the smile off his face, it froze.

He first felt a series of needle-like stings from the spot where he was hit, and then the pain seemed to grow legs and quickly spread throughout his body.

My limbs started to feel numb, my joints became stiff, and my body, which was full of strength, suddenly felt as if it had been drained, and I couldn't exert any strength at all.

"Wha...what happened?"

Before he could finish his sentence, he fell straight down from the sky like a felled log, crashing to the ground with a thud and raising a cloud of dust.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

The moment he touched the ground, all the color drained from Gouda Takeshi's face, leaving it as pale as a sheet of paper.

Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, his body curled up like a boiled shrimp, and he let out a heart-wrenching scream.

The shouts echoed back and forth in the empty training field, sounding particularly eerie.

"Takeshi Gouda, what are you doing?" His companion frowned, his tone full of impatience and confusion. "How come you fell to the ground while teaching a white-eyed monster a lesson? Don't waste time, I really need to hurry home and eat some braised pork."

Hinata acted too quickly; the scene just now was only a fleeting afterimage in their eyes, and they didn't even see what happened.

They only saw Takeshi Gouda jump up aggressively and throw a punch, then inexplicably fall to the ground, assuming he had accidentally tripped.

"You two... hurry up and help me..." Takeshi Gouda curled up on the ground, his voice broken, "I'm not feeling well."

He couldn't believe that the frail girl he used to corner in the alley, who would fall over at the slightest push and only apologize when hit, had suddenly become so strong.

Takeshi Gouda repeatedly told himself: He was careless just now.

Yes, it was carelessness.

He hasn't used his full strength yet, and he hasn't taken this battle seriously.

If he had treated Hinata as a real rival from the beginning, instead of a pushover he could bully at will, the ending would definitely not have been like this.

He is stronger and more robust than Hinata, and he also has two formidable allies.

The three of them working together could even hold their own against a true genin for a few rounds.

How could Hinata possibly defeat them?

"Takeshi Gouda, how did you manage to get yourself into this state by a girl?" One of the boys had a gloating expression on his face.

Because Gouda Takeshi usually acts like a big shot, it's rare to see him looking so pitiful.

"What are you two standing there for?" Ignoring his taunts, Takeshi gritted his teeth. "Hurry up and help! Get her! I've already used up a lot of her strength."

Hinata Hyuga stood there, her expression somewhat dazed.

She did not feel a significant depletion of physical strength, as Takeshi Gouda had described.

Hinata didn't even feel like she had exerted her full strength.

Wasn't Takeshi Gouda very strong?

Why did he suddenly collapse?

The two boys exchanged a glance and walked slowly toward Hinata.

When we were halfway there.

They suddenly sped up.

One on the left, one on the right, working in perfect harmony.

One man clenched his fist and punched Hinata in the face, while another man kicked her in the side.

The wind howled, and their movements were swift and decisive; it was clear this wasn't the first time they had teamed up to deal with someone like this.

They are not fools.

Judging from the miserable state of Takeshi Gouda, who was curled up on the ground and unable to stand up, it was clear that his injury was not just a simple fall.

How could a normal fall make someone unable to stand up, with that look of utter disbelief on their face?

Therefore, they all believed that Hinata must have used some underhanded tricks to make Gouda Takeshi look like this.

The best strategy is to catch Hinata off guard before she can react.

In their hearts, Hinata is still that weak girl who was cornered in the alley by them, who didn't fight back or talk back.

Even though Gouda Takeshi was already lying on the ground, they didn't think she could cause any trouble.

Hinata looked at the two people rushing towards her from both sides at the same time, her eyes calm as still water.

She slightly lowered her waist, and her hands slowly unfolded into the starting stance of soft fists again, flowing smoothly and in one breath.

"what!"

"ah!

'

Two screams rang out almost simultaneously.

Takeru's two companions didn't even see how Hinata made her move.

I only felt a white shadow flash before my eyes, and then I felt a series of needle-like pains in my chest, shoulders and arms. Then my limbs felt as if the bones had been removed, and I couldn't exert any strength at all.

Their bodies traced two awkward arcs in the air before crashing to the ground with two muffled thuds.

The two were curled up on the ground, their bodies convulsing, their faces as white as paper.

They struggled to get up, but their limbs wouldn't obey them at all.

The feeling of being stiff all over and unable to move terrified them.

As they gazed at Hinata Hyuga before them, the image of Neji Hyuga simultaneously flashed through their minds.

That genius who always had a cold face at school and looked down on everyone.

When they fought Neji, he used the same moves and the same speed. Even the excruciating pain they felt after being hit was exactly the same.

Hinata took a step forward.

"Don't come any closer!" Takeshi Gouda's voice was so sharp it was almost cracking. He tried desperately to shrink back, but his stiff body wouldn't obey him and could only writhe wildly on the ground like a worm.

"No...don't hit me..." Another boy covered his head with both hands, his voice trembling and clearly on the verge of crying.

"Wow..." The third boy burst into tears, his face covered in tears and snot.

Hinata ignored them.

She walked around the three people lying on the ground and stood in front of the thin boy.

Hinata knelt down, gently placed her hands on his shoulders, and slowly helped him up.

"Hey... wake up," Hinata called out worriedly.

The skinny boy opened his eyes groggily, feeling aches all over his body as if he had been run over by a wheel. The world before him gradually became clearer, and he saw Hinata squatting in front of him.

"Run...run..." he shouted instinctively.

"It's alright now," Hinata said softly. "I've already defeated them."

The skinny boy paused for a moment, then slowly turned his head to look in the direction of Takeshi Gouda and his group.

The three people lay sprawled on the ground, their bodies twitching intermittently, like three stranded fish.

One was trembling, one was whimpering while holding its head, and another was wailing loudly.

The skinny boy's gaze shifted from them back to Hinata's face. He opened his mouth, then closed it again, his expression changing from bewilderment to surprise, and then from surprise to disbelief.

This girl, who looked even thinner than him, single-handedly defeated Gouda Takeshi and his two companions?

Not far away, on a large, leafy tree, Qiu Shui sat steadily on a thick branch, taking in the entire process.

When Hinata was kicked by Takeshi Gouda for the first time, he thought she was still struggling to overcome her fear and prepared to attack when she was kicked a second time.

Then Hinata made her move.

Through his Tenseigan, Shusui could see that Hinata hadn't used her full strength; each of her palm strikes left plenty of room for maneuver, and she hadn't aimed to damage their vital organs.

With her current strength, if she were to go all out, even if it were only thirty-two strikes...

Gouda Takeshi and the other two are not just lying on the ground groaning; they're likely to become crippled.

The most terrifying aspect of Gentle Fist is that chakra can directly impact vital internal organs such as the heart, liver, and lungs.

Hiashi Hyuga used Gentle Fist to kill the ninja from Kumogakure who had infiltrated the Hyuga clan and were planning to kidnap Hinata.

Secondly, it can seal or damage the meridian system.

Once a Gentle Fist strikes and seals a person's vital pressure points, they will be completely unable to use chakra, not even to refine or use it. For ninjas who rely on chakra in combat, this is tantamount to a death sentence for their profession.
