Chapter 21: Have You Ever Seen a Heavenly Descent Hakkeshō Kaiten? - The White Eyed Princess of Konoha

**Chapter 21: Have You Ever Seen a Heavenly Descent Hakkeshō Kaiten?** In the end, it was Hinata who dug into her own pocket to help Shikamaru settle the meal bill. As for Choji, his allowance seemed to evaporate into his stomach every day, leaving his pockets even emptier than his face. Hinata, however, wasn’t one to take a loss lightly. Though she covered Shikamaru’s meal expenses, she made sure to collect an IOU from him, with a three-percent interest. After all, it was Shikamaru’s own boastful promise to ensure that Choji and she ate to their heart’s content. He brought it on himself! Hinata was not about to pity him! Satisfied, she tucked the IOU into her backpack. Not only did she enjoy a free dinner, but she also stood to make a tidy profit. Clearly, she had a sharp business acumen, and the Hyuga family was in good hands with her. Ignoring Shikamaru’s plaintive expression, she slung her backpack over her shoulder and headed home. Hinata’s training was now on the right track; she had almost mastered the secret techniques of the Gentle Fist. The next steps involved accumulating chakra and continuing to enhance her foundation. Once she graduated and gained experience from various battles, she could rapidly convert her knowledge into practical skills and see significant improvements in her capabilities. Sitting barefoot on the wooden veranda, Hinata gazed contemplatively at the scenery in the courtyard. Gentle Fist was a taijutsu technique that involved injecting one’s chakra into an opponent, damaging their meridians and internal organs. Since internal organs cannot be trained, even the mightiest ninja struck by Gentle Fist could face fatal consequences. In this regard, Gentle Fist was incredibly powerful—stronger than Might Guy’s Strong Fist system because Gentle Fist could be effective with just a graze. However, Gentle Fist had severe limitations. During the first, second, and third Shinobi World Wars, where opponents were ‘human’, Gentle Fist was highly effective. But the future held an era filled with hacks and power-ups, where Kage-level opponents were commonplace. Take the Uchiha clan’s Susanoo for example—Gentle Fist’s destructive power couldn't possibly break through it. And against large beasts like the tailed beasts, Gentle Fist was almost negligible. In contrast, Might Guy's Eight Gates and Tsunade's monstrous strength were better suited for future battles. In the original series, when the Ten-Tails spawned numerous clones, Sakura shattered the ground with a single punch, while Hinata’s Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms barely managed to kill a single clone. Ultimately, Gentle Fist was more suitable for human combat, but it faltered against powered-up opponents and monsters. Even though Hinata could eventually awaken the Tenseigan, and at that point, battle relying entirely on her eyes, Gentle Fist was not something she intended to abandon. Hinata had once fervently declared she would prove herself through Gentle Fist. No way around it! Hinata suddenly stood, eyes blazing, her small fists clenched, surrounded by a burning aura of determination. Since current Gentle Fist techniques lacked power, she’d need to develop her own ninjutsu. Currently, the techniques she had mastered—Eight Trigrams Vacant Palm and Mountain Crusher—were ranged attacks within the Gentle Fist arsenal. Mountain Crusher was essentially using Vacant Palm with both hands, delivering an effect where one plus one far exceeded two. Its power was tremendous, capable of instantly demolishing small mountains. The effectiveness of Vacant Palm lay in the explosive force, density, and chakra consumption. Theoretically, Vacant Palm had significant growth potential, and if all of one’s chakra explosively burst at once, it would be extremely formidable. However, the human body's meridians simply couldn't handle such powerful chakra bursts. Hinata sat back down, propping her chin with her hands, considering a myriad of odd techniques. Developing ninjutsu required an expansive imagination—dare to think big, and no technique would be impossible to innovate. Both Eight Trigrams Vacant Palm and the Rasengan utilized non-elemental chakra. The Rasengan represented the pinnacle of chakra shape transformation, whereas Vacant Palm involved compressing chakra intensely and firing it off, its destructive power inferior to the Rasengan. But what if Vacant Palm could spin? What if it incorporated chakra nature transformation? Hinata’s imagination soared as she extended her right hand, manipulating chakra to spin on her palm... Round and round it went, and a blue chakra sphere appeared in her small hand. “Is this the Rasengan?” Minato took three years to develop the Rasengan while Naruto learned it in seven days. Hinata had stumbled upon the Rasengan when she set out to innovate Vacant Palm. No way! I can’t just copy someone else’s technique. Shaking her head, Hinata resumed her wild imaginings. Apparently, Vacant Palm wasn’t something one should spin. Spinning chakra inside the body could definitely harm the arm's meridians. However, Hakkeshō Kaiten can spin! A sudden flash of inspiration, Hinata leaped up, propelled herself off the ceiling with her feet, and spun her body, angled downward, crashing towards the distant ground. In mid-air, Hinata utilized the rotational force to unleash chakra throughout her body, executing Hakkeshō Kaiten. “Behold my Tornado Drilling Strike... ahem! Behold my Kaiten Bomb!” Chakra erupted from Hinata, spinning into a massive chakra sphere that slammed into the ground with a 'boom', leaving a long track before slamming into the other side of the courtyard, even collapsing part of the wall. 'Urgh!' So nauseating, so dizzy, I feel like vomiting! Hinata shook her head, barely improving how she felt, with her first thought being to flee the crime scene immediately. The Hyuga family moves swiftly! Before she could stand, shadows flickered, surrounding her—some on the roof, some in the courtyard, some on the veranda. All eyes locked onto Hinata. Such pressure! Hiashi Hyuga sternly queried, “Hinata, what happened?” With a bow and a model of grace, Hinata replied, “Father, I was testing a newly developed ninjutsu and just... couldn't control it, which led to this mess!” New ninjutsu? Hiashi and the Elder exchanged glances. The Elder spoke, “Alright, there’s nothing else here. Everyone can disperse.” With the onlookers gone, Hinata was summoned by Hiashi into the training room, with the Elder observing. Hiashi felt a swelling pride, recognizing the true genius in his daughter. Developing new ninjutsu at ten, and with such devastating impact! This new technique must be immensely potent! Clearing his throat, Hiashi asked, “Hinata, how effective is your new ninjutsu?” Hinata stuck out her tongue, quietly replying, “Quite effective!” Indeed! Given the courtyard's ruinous state, the new technique seemed to have a considerable impact. The Elder asked, “Hinata, can you demonstrate your new ninjutsu again?” Hinata hesitated, “Here?” The Elder stepped back, and Hiashi calmly gestured, “Go ahead.” Unable to defy them, Hinata complied. Taking a few steps back, she leapt, concentrating chakra beneath her feet, assuming a crouched position upside-down on the ceiling. With a forceful push, Hinata launched toward Hiashi, spinning mid-air, utilizing Hakkeshō Kaiten, sending a large chakra sphere descending from above. Hiashi, Elder: “...”
