Hinata: I'm in charge of Konoha.

Hyuga Neji.

Hyuga Hizashi's son, who was a member of the Hyuga branch family.

Although they had separated, he displayed extraordinary talent from the very first time he came into contact with Soft Fist.

He was placed on high hopes by all members of the Hyuga clan, including clan head Hyuga Hiashi.

But one day, a tiny figure entered his life.

"Brother Neji, please guide me."

He remembered that it was when Hinata had just started learning Gentle Fist.

Until now...

The pure white pupils reflected the figures moving back and forth in the training ground.

The moves are fierce and the movements are swift.

Not only Hinata, but even Toneri, whom she was meeting for the first time, felt the same way.

His punches and kicks were clean and crisp, each attack carrying a fierce intent.

Neji thought his cousin Hinata was already one of the best among her peers.

He never expected to meet another peer who was just as good as Hinata today.

Yes, she's just as good as Hinata.

Hinata and Toneri were exchanging blows, and each direct clash was accompanied by a clash of chakra, so much so that each time they fought, there was a special burst of chakra.

In theory, Toneri and Hinata belong to the same clan. Although their clans are on the moon and Earth respectively, and the techniques they use are different, their methods of seeing through meridians and releasing chakra through acupoints based on the Byakugan principle are exactly the same.

So what appears to be a physical battle between the two is actually a contest of chakra.

His acupoints were sealed by the opponent, so he could only break through by using chakra.

At the same time, it is also necessary to seal the opponent's acupoints.

Having lived in this world for six years, only Hinata herself knows that in her battles with Neji and other peers, she has always been the one bullying the younger ones.

After all, Hinata was born with innate knowledge, which is the fundamental reason why she was able to suppress Neji and all her peers in the Hyuga clan.

Children often struggle to understand techniques and the acupoints and meridians explained by their elders, since many of them don't even know all the characters.

Hinata, being born with innate knowledge, can quickly grasp the various theories taught by her elders, based on her own talent.

However, this understanding only has a certain effect on ordinary people.

The person opposite him, Toneri, is one of the top geniuses in the ninja world.

The so-called innate knowledge might have some advantage for such people, but it's definitely not going to create a significant gap.

Therefore, Hinata not only wanted to dispel the strange thoughts this guy had about her, but also wanted to see if there was any gap between herself and a true genius.

Hinata doesn't have any so-called "golden finger" or any inexplicable systems.

All she has is her brain and talent.

If one wants to take over the position of her eldest son, Boruto Uzumaki, in the future, talent alone is clearly not enough.

Because the Divine Tree Man is just a minor boss in the Boruto storyline.

The ultimate enemy is most likely the Ōtsutsuki god who transcends dimensions.

Otsutsuki Shibaju, who claimed to be omniscient and omnipotent.

boom!

The palm strike was fierce, blowing the hair on the attendant's forehead.

A look of amazement flashed in his white eyes, which he inherited from his father.

A hand stopped in front of him.

This is Hinata's palm; if it moved forward even half an inch, it could strike his forehead head-on.

He is "dead".

Toneri fought Hinata for nearly five minutes before finally being defeated.

Hinata is amazing.

Toneri wore a subtle smile, his white pupils looking at Hinata with amusement.

"You're not good at hand-to-hand combat?"

Hinata wasn't happy about winning against Toneri; instead, she frowned and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Yes."

Sheren spoke up somewhat awkwardly.

Because he was born blind, his martial arts skills were taught to him step by step by Otsutsuki Mikoto.

Before this, Toneri had been practicing the control and flow of chakra.

Not good at... physical combat.

Neji, who was watching from the sidelines, remained silent.

Toneri, who was not good at physical combat, fought Hinata for five minutes before being defeated.

And myself...

Neji once again experienced the helplessness of facing Hinata head-on.

genius?

It's just a joke.

Neji, who appeared calm at the moment, was actually experiencing ripples in his heart.

If someone like Sheren is considered not good at physical combat, then what am I?

"Boring."

Hinata waved her hand, somewhat disheartened.

She was wrong from the start.

I thought that a strong person might not be good at ninjutsu or genjutsu, but it was impossible for them not to be good at taijutsu.

I never expected to produce such an anomaly as Sheren, who was born blind.

Upon closer reflection, in the final chapter of the movie, Toneri fought against the young Naruto entirely using the Tenseigan chakra mode. It can be said that he relied entirely on the giant Tenseigan and his abundant chakra to go head-to-head with Naruto.

There wasn't much in terms of martial arts skills.

Moreover, the person in charge of the palace had only recently acquired his eyes.

It is still in the adaptation period.

I was just too anxious.

"You practice, I need an opponent."

"It's no fun bullying you."

Hinata tugged at her collar and walked off the training ground on her own.

Does Hinata need an opponent?

Upon hearing this, Toneri looked at Hinata.

"Um."

"Don't keep me waiting too long."

Hinata waved her hand and disappeared alone around the corner of the training ground.

Only Sheren remained in place, looking thoughtful.

Hinata didn't put much effort into mastering ninjutsu.

A person's energy is limited.

Twenty years is neither a long nor a short time.

The Otsutsuki clan, whom we will face in the future, almost all possess the ability to absorb ninjutsu.

Learning two or three ninjutsu techniques is enough.

Hinata wasn't interested in sealing techniques either.

The strongest known sealing technique is the Six Paths: Planetary Devastation used to seal Kaguya Otsutsuki, which is also a sealing technique of the Otsutsuki clan.

Use Otsutsuki techniques to fight Otsutsuki?

It might be somewhat useful, but not much.

After all, Momoshiki Otsutsuki might not be unable to absorb the high-ranking spirit of the Imperial Family, and then he could just create an even bigger one and throw it at himself.

Hinata believes that the real battle against the Otsutsuki in the future will be a battle of taijutsu, the purest form of confrontation.

Just like the Nine-Tails sacrifice, Naruto, who entered the Heavy Particle Mode, fought against Isshiki Otsutsuki.

The safety of the ninja world in the future will depend on the slightest difference in their fists and feet.

Therefore, even though Hinata knew that ninjutsu combined with the Byakugan could achieve long-range attacks, she had no idea about it.

Ninjutsu, in the final analysis, is the art of ninjas, and also the art of fighting against ninjas.

It is not a technique for dealing with the Otsutsuki.

The outcome of using ninjutsu against the Otsutsuki has already shown everything.

The only ninjutsu that Hinata could truly appreciate were space-time techniques like the Flying Thunder God Technique and auxiliary techniques that could unleash the body's potential.

If the Eight Gates and the Byakugan system weren't completely at odds, Hinata would have already planned to become Might Guy's apprentice and a Hyuga girl who celebrates youth and passion.

While the Hyuga's Byakugan system isn't exactly overpowered, it boasts Bagua Palm for ranged combat, Rotation for defense, and Gentle Fist for close combat, all without requiring hand seals.

Overall, it's quite well-rounded and balanced, and Hinata doesn't necessarily have to use Gentle Fist.
