The Byakugan Princess of Konoha

Hiashi Hyuga continued, "But I heard that you ran away when facing the enemy in the second exam?"

Hinata glanced at Hyuga Tokuma, well done!

Your name should really be read backwards!

Chapter 81 Hinata's Arduous Training Begins

"Um... well..." Hinata scratched her head, but finally decided to tell the truth: "Father, have you ever seen this move before?"

As she spoke, Hinata stuck out her little tongue and licked around.

Hiashi Hyuga: "..."

Hinata's face was serious, but her tone was somewhat impatient: "Let me tell you, that guy was really strong. Just his killing intent alone was several times stronger than Zabuza and Kakashi's. If I hadn't run away quickly, he would have definitely killed me!"

Hiashi Hyuga and the elder exchanged a glance, then Hiashi said to Hinata, "I think I know who you're talking about. You did a great job!"

The elder also exclaimed, "Sharp insight and intuition for danger are essential qualities for becoming an excellent ninja."

Hinata blushed slightly: "I'm getting embarrassed by all the compliments you've given me!"

"Cough cough!"

The elder coughed lightly and said calmly, "The third exam will be in a month, and dignitaries from all countries will be there to watch. Hinata, you are the heir of our Hyuga main family, so you must perform well and win first place in the Chunin Exams."

Hinata looked slightly troubled and tentatively said, "But... with my current strength, even without intensive training, they're no match for me! As for training, I think... maybe we should just give up!"

Hiashi Hyuga's face hardened, and he said seriously, "This time you are absolutely not allowed to slack off. One of us, the Grand Elder and I, will be watching your training."

This is really going to be a disaster.

When one plan failed, Hinata devised another: "But I also want to create another ultimate move within this month!"

"With your talent, I believe you can succeed."

Hinata was about to show her joy when Hiashi Hyuga continued, "However, creating your own ninjutsu is not something that can be done overnight. You can think about it slowly in your spare time."

Hinata took a deep breath and said, "I..."

Hiashi Hyuga interrupted, "I know what you're thinking, but I won't show any mercy for the next month."

Hinata tentatively asked, "Is it only for this one month?"

"..."

'Slap! Slap! Slap...'

Hinata couldn't fight against Hyuga Hiashi, so she had no choice but to practice with him methodically.

Knowing Hinata's true abilities, Hiashi Hyuga also unleashed his full power in Gentle Fist.

Although Hinata was forced into a disadvantageous position, she showed no signs of defeat.

Hinata has already mastered most of the Gentle Fist techniques of the Hyuga main family; the rest are things that don't matter whether she learns them or not.

The training of Soft Fist is a process of going from simple to complex, and then from complex to simple again.

Once you reach Hinata's or Hiashi Hyuga's level, aside from those powerful special techniques, the only way to improve your strength is to constantly practice the most basic Gentle Fist and start training from the most fundamental chakra.

Hinata had previously guessed that for the Hyuga clan's Byakugan to evolve, talent alone was not enough; they also needed to train day and night.

Perhaps many Hyuga clan ninjas throughout history, after reaching the level of Hyuga Hiashi or Kage, found that their progress was slow or even impossible, so they simply gave up training and maintained their current level of strength.

Therefore, for a thousand years, no one in the Hyuga clan has been able to make the Byakugan advance any further.

The sparring sessions between Hinata and Hiashi Hyuga not only deepened their understanding of Gentle Fist, but also involved them activating their Byakugan during combat. The faster the battle, the more effective the Byakugan training became.

Unlike the Sharingan, the Byakugan doesn't have different levels of evolution, such as one-tomoe, two-tomoe, and three-tomoe.

The initial Byakugan only requires gathering enough chakra to awaken.

As one's strength increases, the Byakugan will allow one to see further and more clearly, but it will also consume more chakra.

However, there will eventually be an upper limit.

Once you reach the limit of Byakugan, what you need to do is change the very essence of chakra.

For the Hyuga clan ninjas, this change requires constant and arduous practice of Gentle Fist.

Hinata and Hiashi Hyuga did not use any of the special techniques of Gentle Fist; they only used the most basic Gentle Fist techniques in their fight.

Seeing his daughter grow up, Hiashi Hyuga felt very gratified.

Time flies. Just a few years ago, Hinata wasn't even up to Hiashi Hyuga's waist.

When Hinata was first trained, she was not even five years old and could only barely hit Hiashi Hyuga's thigh.

In the blink of an eye, Hinata was already able to fight Hiashi Hyuga without being defeated.

A moment later, Hiashi Hyuga, having repelled Hinata, said calmly, "Alright, let's rest for a while, reflect on what we've learned in this battle, and then continue our training!"

Hinata glanced furtively at Hiashi Hyuga, as if she had noticed something, and said with great interest, "It's alright, Father, I'm not tired at all, let's continue training!"

After saying that, Hinata launched another attack, and Hiashi Hyuga had no choice but to parry.

Hiashi Hyuga should have felt gratified that his daughter had taken the initiative to train.

But if the daughter's motivation for training is to beat up her father, Hiashi Hyuga will feel nothing but helplessness and exhaustion.

Hiashi Hyuga was also shocked; Hinata's chakra reserves were enormous. Just over a year ago, Hinata's chakra was only slightly higher than his, but now it was several times higher.

The Hyuga clan already possessed far more chakra than ordinary ninjas, but Hinata's chakra reserves far exceeded those of the Hyuga clan.

"What exactly is going on?"

Chakra is the foundation of a ninja. A person with a high amount of chakra is not necessarily a strong person, but a strong person must have a very high amount of chakra.

Hiashi Hyuga recalled the strange things about Hinata.

Aside from her personality, Hinata's only other trait is that she has an enormous appetite...

Hiashi Hyuga was a ninja from the same era as Minato Namikaze, so he naturally met Minato's wife, Kushina Uzumaki.

The Uzumaki clan is a long-lived ninja family that is proficient in sealing techniques. Their advantage lies in their extremely large amount of chakra.

Hiashi Hyuga carefully analyzed that chakra is a combination of spiritual and physical energy, and that Kushina Uzumaki and Naruto Uzumaki have similar personalities...

Could it be that people with eccentric personalities have higher chakra reserves than normal people?

That seems to make some sense!

And with Hinata's huge appetite, where did all that food go?

Is the real reason Hinata has such a large amount of chakra that she strengthens her body through eating, and strengthens her mental power through... well, through abnormal brain circuits?

Hiashi Hyuga thought to himself, "Should I give it a try too?"

I imagine myself scribbling on the Hokage Rock like Naruto, and I imagine myself eating and drinking like Hinata...

Hiashi Hyuga shuddered. "I'd rather not become stronger than become like them!"

Hinata seized the opportunity and struck Hiashi Hyuga in the abdomen with a palm strike. Seeing that Hiashi Hyuga really had no time to defend, Hinata withdrew her chakra and used only the force of her arm to knock Hiashi Hyuga back.

Sigh! He's still the biological father of this body after all, so getting a kidney transplant isn't a good idea!

Everything for Mom!

Chapter 82 The Ultimate Secret of the Hyuga Clan

Hinata hadn't seen Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi for a long time.

If nothing unexpected happens, Sasuke should be training Chidori with Kakashi right now, and Naruto should be running into that lecherous old man Jiraiya.

A few days ago, Hinata, Sakura, and Ino visited Lee at the Konoha Hospital. He was recovering quite well.

After all, unlike in the original story, Gaara didn't break her arms and legs.

If it's just a muscle or tendon strain, Konoha Hospital can treat it.

When they returned, Hinata specifically reminded Sakura and Ino not to go to hot springs for the next month, because there were perverts around.

Neji has recently been training with his father, Hyuga Hizashi, and he's rarely seen.

With the third Chunin Exam approaching, everyone is making the most of their time for a final push.

Those who pass the exam want to achieve better results, while those who fail don't want to fall behind others.

Hinata sneaked out to play several times, but didn't meet anyone she could chat with. Instead, she ate dumplings with Anko, that strange older sister, and their relationship became much closer.

Hyuga Tokuma also brought back a gambling expert for Hinata, and Hinata learned a lot from him during her free time in the evenings.

Although... the probability of winning a bet with Tsunade is almost 100%.

Hinata, having never encountered this kind of knowledge before, needed to learn the most basic rules and gameplay.

As the days went by, Hinata's new ninjutsu was put on the agenda.

In the training room, Hinata and Hiashi Hyuga suddenly separated with a 'snap'. Hinata looked somewhat disheveled, while Hiashi Hyuga was panting heavily from exhaustion.

Although Hiashi Hyuga could still suppress Hinata with his experienced Gentle Fist technique, his chakra reserves were inferior to Hinata's, and over time, Hiashi Hyuga would be unable to continue the fight.

Furthermore, Hinata's progress has been accelerating recently. While Hiashi Hyuga could hold back before, now that he's fighting Hinata, holding back would be suicide.

Looking at Hinata, who was calm and composed, Hiashi Hyuga felt a mix of helplessness, resentment, and relief.

His daughter's cultivation of spirituality for less than ten years surpassed his decades of arduous practice.

Even though it was his own daughter, he still felt a little uneasy.

Tsk tsk tsk!

Hinata looked at Hiashi Hyuga, who was exhausted, and felt a little smug.

This is the difference between a regular player and a cheater!

Decades of hard work and skill training are often less effective than a single use of cheats by a cheater, especially when the cheater has spent real money on it.

After a long pause, Hiashi Hyuga calmed his breathing and said calmly, "It seems you've also reached this level... a hurdle that every Hyuga clan member must face!"

Hinata nodded slightly; she knew what Hiashi Hyuga was referring to.
