XX-level Hokage

There really is such a ninjutsu? No wonder the Izuno clan isn't active on the battlefield; if they used this ability and fell into enemy hands, their fate would be sealed.

Her fate was far more tragic than that of an ordinary female ninja.

Cat God Possession: The Cat Demon Summoning Technique, a powerful ninjutsu passed down through generations of the Izuno clan. Triggered by a scroll, it summons a cat as tall as a house to possess the user. The cat is shaped like a lucky cat and is orange-red in color. The cat god will fiercely protect the possessed individual. (System Evaluation: A cat version of Susanoo)

And the final one, Suzume no Namikaze, Tears Release? Does such a strange ninjutsu exist? Mashiro opened the detailed explanation again.

The "Tears of the Beginning" technique is a unique ninjutsu resulting from a special constitution. It releases powerful sonic waves by crying loudly, stunning the enemy. A ninjutsu of a special constitution, huh? Truly, it's an eye-opener.

"What's wrong?" Hanabi asked, looking at Mashiro who seemed a little stunned. "Nothing, just a little excited," Mashiro said softly, touching her hair.

Spark didn't suspect anything. She turned to look at Sumire and the other two and said, "Continue training. Sumire and Namiya will practice water skills, while Wasabi will practice physical techniques." After saying that, Spark led Mashiro to another part of the training ground.

Chapter 227: The Art of Papermaking

"Mashiro, you should know about our Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist from your sister, right?" Hanabi said softly. Hearing this, Mashiro nodded gently.

Last night, Hinata told her a lot about the Hyuga clan. Seeing Hinata's serious expression as she described the story, she could only smile to herself and listen "attentively".

"Gentle Fist is a secret technique passed down through our clan. Although it can't compare to those particularly powerful ninjutsu, it still has its unique characteristics and considerable power. Next, we will teach you the basic Gentle Fist techniques. After you master them, we will gradually introduce you to other Gentle Fist-related taijutsu," Hanabi said with a smile.

Mashiro could only nod and smile in response. However, to be fair, compared to her other powers, she wasn't particularly skilled in Gentle Fist. Gentle Fist originated from Kaguya's Byakugan and allowed the user to channel their own chakra into the enemy, thereby damaging the enemy's chakra.

The pathways and meridians of the body, and the internal organs.

Because internal organs cannot be trained, even the most skilled ninja is often fatally struck by Gentle Fist.

It can be described as an extremely powerful taijutsu, but its upper limit is limited, and it is difficult to exert its effect against truly powerful ninjas.

The most important thing in learning Gentle Fist is to first master the use of the Byakugan. There is a chakra network in the human body called the "meridian system," which ordinary ninjas cannot detect, but only the Byakugan can see through the human body.

"There are 361 chakra points in the meridian system. By striking these points, one can arbitrarily block or amplify the opponent's chakra flow. All Gentle Fist techniques are based on the Byakugan and the meridian system." Hanabi said softly, then activated her Byakugan. Seeing this, Mashiro also activated her Byakugan.

Immediately afterwards, Hanabi unleashed the Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms.

"The most common and basic move in soft fist is Baguazhang. Based on the acupoints in the human body, Baguazhang is divided into 32 palms, 64 palms, 128 palms, and 361 palms. Of course, the 361 palms of Baguazhang is just a hypothetical situation. No enemy would give you time to strike 361 palms. Generally, if you are hit by the 64 palms of Baguazhang, you will lose the ability to move directly."

"And what you need to learn is what I'm currently concealing: the Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms." After finishing the demonstration, Hanabi spoke. "Okay," Mashiro nodded gently.

She was puzzled. Looking at Hanabi's Bagua Thirty-Two Palms, she noticed that not only was her proficiency lacking, but her strength was also extremely weak, showing almost no improvement compared to when she was a child.

"Furthermore, to unleash Bagua Palm, two conditions must be met: clearly see the enemy's acupoints and release chakra from your palm."

"Only by releasing your chakra from your palm and striking the enemy's pressure points can you seal the flow of the enemy's chakra, just like this..." Hanabi continued, then used Bagua Palm to strike Mashiro's shoulder.

The instant they made contact, Hanabi's chakra surged from her palm and entered the pressure point she had struck. Then, there was no further reaction. "Hmm? Pancreas!"

Spark withdrew her hand and looked at her palm in confusion.

What's going on? She clearly channeled chakra into Mashiro's pressure points, so why is there no reaction? "I understand, Hanabi-sensei. Thank you for your explanation," Mashiro said with a light laugh.

"Good that you understand. Try practicing on the wooden stake yourself." Hanabi didn't doubt anything further, simply assuming it was her mistake.

Then Hanabi took out a scroll and summoned a wooden dummy from it. This was a wooden dummy unique to the Hyuga clan, with 361 chakra points engraved on it.

Seeing this, Mashiro stood in front of the wooden dummy and prepared to start practicing.

Hanabi's Bagua Palm was indeed completely ineffective. Although Mashiro did not specifically defend against it, her strength and the amount of chakra she injected were instantly absorbed by Mashiro's Otsutsuki body.

To truly master the acupoints, it would probably take Kaguya's intervention for it to be effective.

Looking at the wooden dummy in front of her, Mashiro assumed the Baguazhang stance. It had been so many years since she had used Gentle Fist; she figured she'd just use a few tears to get by first.

Bagua Thirty-Two Palms

Zhenbai's palm strike landed on the wooden dummy, instantly shattering it and scattering debris more than ten meters away.

In that instant, not only Hanabi was stunned, but even Mashiro herself was surprised. In her opinion, she hadn't used any special force, so it shouldn't have been so powerful.

Mashiro's prolonged use of eye techniques and ninjutsu led her to underestimate her taijutsu abilities.

Because she was not good at taijutsu, Mashiro never learned it. However, with the help of some taijutsu rewards and the continuous improvement of her physical fitness, especially the influence of the Otsutsuki body, Mashiro's taijutsu ability has reached a very high level.

Although it wasn't apparent in daily life, when Mashiro unleashed the Eight Trigrams Palm, it still contained a bit of taijutsu power and chakra. "Mashiro, you..." Hanabi walked towards Mashiro with an incredulous expression.

The wooden dummy used by the Hyuga clan to practice Gentle Fist is not made of ordinary wood, but of teak, which is incredibly hard.

"Actually, Ms. Hanabi, I learned Gentle Fist when I was very young, but I didn't remember it because of amnesia. I just met..."

Teacher, it was only when you performed the Baguazhang technique that I vaguely began to recall it. "True white belt, look," he said with feigned sincerity.

"I see." Hearing Mashiro's words, Hanabi didn't doubt anything; on the contrary, she felt that it was indeed the case.

It's impossible for Mashiro to have such power right after learning Gentle Fist. If she had started learning from a young age, although her current power is still incredibly amazing, it's a fact that we can barely accept now.

"I didn't realize Mashiro was such a genius. It seems our Hyuga clan will produce another powerful ninja. Which Gentle Fist technique have you learned so far? You should have finished learning the Eight Trigrams Technique by now, right? Have you learned the Rotation Technique yet?" Hanabi said happily, hugging Mashiro and nuzzling his face.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Hanabi, I only learned the Thirty-Two Palms of Bagua," Mashiro said softly.

"How could this be? You're so talented, how come you only learned the Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms? Didn't the others in the clan teach you?" Huahu asked in confusion.

"The adults in my clan really wanted me to learn Gentle Fist, but because I don't really like close-quarters combat techniques, I taught myself another technique," Mashiro explained.

"Other techniques? Ninjutsu?" Hanabi asked, somewhat puzzled.

Just then, Mashiro's body began to turn into sheets of white paper, which then floated in the air. Hanabi stared at Mashiro in utter astonishment.

Last night, Mashiro pondered a question: she had now found her identity in this future world—a member of the Hyuga clan and the adopted son of the Seventh Hokage.

However, this future is the future of a primitive world, where the Hyuga clan does not use ninjutsu and is still in the era of clinging to the Gentle Fist style.

Therefore, Mashiro needed to find a reason, preferably a special secret technique. Thus, Mashiro thought of Konan's Paper Dance.

This technique, resembling a secret art and a bloodline limit, is perfect for Mashiro to use. By covering it with white paper to block others' view, Mashiro can use whatever she wants.

This is a last resort. Mashiro is currently losing a lot of chakra, and he can't use Yin-Yang Release because of the imbalance. Activating the Rinnegan would easily attract other Otsutsuki.

In short, in this world with many Otsutsuki clans, Mashiro will keep a low profile and develop her strength before determining the enemy's level.

Chapter 228: Do you like me now?

Hearing Mashiro say that, Hanabi was momentarily speechless. After a long pause, she softly asked, "So, do you still want to learn Gentle Fist?"

"Of course I want to. I don't remember many things clearly, and I don't quite understand why I didn't want to learn Gentle Fist back then. Now I have a new opportunity to learn it again, and it's the beautiful Ms. Hanabi teaching me personally. I'm very happy," Mashiro said with a smile.

"Haha, Mashiro is so cute." Hanabi said with a happy smile, pinching Mashiro's cheek.

"I'm telling the truth, Ms. Hanabi is very beautiful, and I'm very happy to learn from you," Mashiro said "earnestly."

Looking into Mashiro's gentle yet earnest eyes, Hanabi felt a strange sense of familiarity; a faint, subtle feeling welled up within her. [Hinata Hanabi's Affection +5]

"Then I'll start by teaching you the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms." Hanabi came back to her senses and said softly. "Okay." Mashiro said with a smile.

After an afternoon of training, Mashiro once again displayed a talent that amazed Hanabi, easily mastering the Bagua Sixty-Four Palms.

"Alright, that's enough training for today. I'm going to check on Hiro and the other two. I'll take you all out for a big meal later." With that, Hanabi turned and walked in another direction from the training ground.

Just then, Mashiro gently patted Hanabi's shoulder. Bewitching God, activated.

"What's wrong? Mashiro," Hanabi asked, turning her head.

"It's nothing, just some dust," Mashiro said softly, her eyes closed. Hanabi didn't mind, smiled, and turned to walk towards Lan Jin and the other two.

After Hanabi left, Mashiro gently opened her eyes. Her pale blue Rinnegan flashed with an eerie light, but it only lasted for a moment before disappearing instantly. A short while later, Hanabi led the four of them to a sushi restaurant.

After a pleasant meal, Kakusei, Suzume no Namikaze, and Izuno Wasabi bid farewell to Hanabi and Mashiro. Hanabi then led Mashiro towards Hinata's house.

"How is it? Is it good? That's my favorite sushi restaurant," Hanabi said to Mashiro with a smile. "It's delicious," Mashiro nodded in response.

The sushi at that restaurant was definitely better than anything Mashiro had ever had before.

"Little Mashiro, you've just arrived in Konoha, and there are probably many delicious things you haven't tried yet. I'll take you to taste them slowly when we have time," Hanabi said, stroking Mashiro's hair.

"Thank you very much, Hanabi-sensei," Mashiro said softly. "Mhm," Hanabi nodded happily.

"By the way, does Hanabi-sensei have someone she likes?" Mashiro suddenly asked.

"You like someone? Why are you suddenly asking this? You're too young to be thinking about these things," Hanabi said excitedly. "I was just curious, after all, Hanabi-sensei is such a beautiful woman," Mashiro said with a smile.

Sparkle's face began to flush slightly, and she said shyly, "I... I don't have a boyfriend yet." "It doesn't necessarily have to be a boyfriend. Having a girl you like is fine too," Mashiro said.

"A girl?" Hanabi seemed a little confused by Mashiro's words. Just then, Mashiro planted a thought in Hanabi's mind. A girl as a person she likes doesn't seem so bad.

"That's right, it's a girl, so it shouldn't be strange, right? She likes someone but doesn't specify the gender," Mashiro said seriously.

Listening to Mashiro's words, a thought vaguely arose in Hikaru's mind: What would it be like to date a girl? Perhaps it wouldn't be bad to give it a try.

"There aren't any girls either. As for me, I've always been single," Hanabi said.

"Why? Hanabi-sensei is beautiful and has a good personality. I fell in love with her at first sight," Mashiro said jokingly.

"Maybe other people think differently than you. Besides, I don't have any thoughts about dating right now, and I haven't met anyone I like. I'll just let things take their course," Hanabi said softly.

"How about you consider me, Ms. Hanabi? I really like you," Mashiro said softly. "You're still too young. Let's talk about it when you're older," Hanabi teased, flicking Mashiro's forehead. Then, Hanabi turned and looked ahead.

"So, how about this? Do you like me, Hanabi-sensei?" Mashiro asked from behind Hanabi. Hanabi turned her head instinctively at the question.

Just then, a gentle breeze blew, stirring Mashiro's dress and hair. Mashiro covered her hair with one hand and her dress with the other, her eyes showing a hint of "coercion".

At that moment, Mashiro was even taller than Hanabi, radiant and gentle, her eyes filled with tenderness, like a loving older sister. Hanabi was stunned for a moment; her heart began to pound violently, and her expression changed drastically.

[Hyuga Hanabi's affection level +10, reward: Byakugan power enhancement "B-rank ninjutsu: Gentle Wind"]

Mashiro obtained a strange ninjutsu from the affection reward. It is said to be a wind release, but it is more like a mental illusion. When a breeze blows, it can create a chain of love in an instant, making people's hearts flutter.

Seeing the way the fireworks made her heart flutter, Mashiro knew it had worked.

"You, so white?! How come you... This..." Hanabi was momentarily speechless.

"So, do you like me now, Ms. Hanabi?" Mashiro stepped forward, gently hugged Hanabi, and asked softly.

Upon close contact with Mashiro's body, Hanabi experienced a completely different feeling than before; her face flushed red, all the way down to her neck.

Suppressing her inner turmoil, Hanabi broke free from Mashiro's embrace and asked, "Mashiro, what's wrong with you?" "A special secret technique allows me to transform into my grown-up form," Mashiro replied.

Hanabi instantly thought of Tsunade's Yin Seal, and stopped wondering about it. "Well, Hanabi-sensei, I've grown up now," Mashiro said with a smile.

"No, you're too young. Even if you grow up, it still won't work. And you need to change back quickly. You always make me feel weird," Hanabi said, pretending to be angry.

"That's a real shame. I thought Ms. Hanabi would like it," Mashiro said with a hint of regret. "Alright, let's go back soon, it's getting late," Hanabi said.

Then she quickly walked forward, not glancing at Shiro once more along the way. After dropping Shiro off at home, she refused Wei You's offer to stay and left in a hurry. Shiro simply smiled at this; it could be said that everything was under her control.

She planted a seed in Hanabi's heart. In the days to come, Hanabi would constantly suppress the seed, preventing it from changing. When the time was right, Mashiro would only need to reveal her identity and dispel Hanabi's concerns, and then the seed would instantly grow into a towering tree.

In Hanabi's room at the Hyuga residence.

Hanabi is wide awake now. Looking at the moon outside the window, a beautiful face keeps appearing in her mind.
