Chapter 22: Is This Considered a Big Move? - The White Eyed Princess of Konoha

## Chapter 22: Is This Considered a Big Move? Is this the new jutsu Hinata claims to have developed? Hiashi Hyuga sidestepped slightly, and Hinata ended up crashing into the ground. How dizzying! To avoid discouraging his talented daughter's enthusiasm for developing new jutsu, Hiashi spoke in a calm tone, "The idea is good, but your movements are too large, and the attack speed is too slow. It leaves an opening for the enemy to counterattack." "Moreover..." After pausing, Hiashi added, "This move is quite similar to the Inuzuka clan's 'Tunneling Fang,' but it emphasizes defense over penetration." "Rotating Palm is already perfect for defense. If you want to develop a new jutsu, why not try other techniques?" Right! Hinata realized she was being foolish, having developed such a weak technique. She had previously imagined that once she learned the Shadow Clone Technique, she could have the clone throw her at the enemy while using Rotating Palm as an attack. "Understood!" Hinata replied obediently. Hiashi nodded and said, "Alright, go practice on your own now." "Yes!" Developing a new jutsu wasn't something that could be achieved overnight. Despite having numerous ideas, not every brainstorm could turn into a powerful technique. Leaving home, Hinata ran to the back mountains of Konoha, realizing she couldn't practice her new jutsu at home. What if she lost control and accidentally demolished the house? After casually practicing some Gentle Fist techniques, Hinata lay on a tree branch gazing at the moon, contemplating how to extend Gentle Fist into more powerful techniques. Like the Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists from the original story—Hinata genuinely found it unimpressive. It's fine for fighting humans, but against monsters, it's just not enough. Hinata's ambition was large, or rather, having become undefeated at the Ninja Academy, she was starting to get overconfident. If she couldn't shatter the Susanoo with a single strike, how could she live up to her title as Lady Hinata? Hinata gathered chakra at her fingertips, using a method similar to air palm to expel the chakra. Biu! The Six Veins Divine Sword, huh? Hinata thought that if she wanted to develop a master technique for Gentle Fist, the key would be to focus on the air palm. Not only should she find ways to enhance the air palm's power, but she should also incorporate changes in chakra nature. The air palm, in essence, is about concentrating chakra in the palm and compressing it to release a chakra shockwave. However, compressing a large amount of chakra inside the body could easily damage her meridians. Half an hour later, Hinata lay on the tree branch, her gaze vacant, appearing nearly lifeless. I am so foolish! What is the story of Naruto about? It's all about unbeatable bloodlines! In the original story, those who seemed to have cheat codes all possessed the powerful bloodline of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. How could ordinary jutsu ever compete with those formidable kekkei genkai? Hoping to rely on Gentle Fist to achieve the legendary status of shattering Susanoo with a single touch, and making Kurama incapable of fighting back was nothing but a fantasy. At least she could handle jinchūriki. In the original story, Hinata's daughter, Himawari, not only knocked Naruto out with a single strike but also left Kurama stunned. Hinata envied her daughter. Hinata realized that her future should depend on the Tenseigan; Gentle Fist simply couldn't make the cut. Since she couldn't develop a masterful technique, Hinata decided to just tinker with some minor techniques for now. Speaking of minor techniques for Gentle Fist, Hinata couldn't help but think of the Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists she had created in the original story. Compared to the ultimate moves later in the series, Twin Lion Fists looked like child's play. But according to official descriptions, the Twin Lion Fists gather a large amount of chakra in the hands, then shape it into two fierce lion heads to attack. Twin Lion Fists not only greatly enhance the attack power and range but can also devour the opponent's meridians completely. Simply put, it involves gathering a large amount of chakra and altering its shape. But if she could project the Twin Lion Fists with an air palm technique, wouldn't that become a smaller-scale Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack? Once she mastered the Six Paths' power, she could then upgrade the technique to become a sky-shaking, all-encompassing ultimate move—the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack. Hinata was intrigued. The principle of this technique was very different from traditional Gentle Fist. Traditional Gentle Fist injects chakra into the enemy's body, disrupting their meridians and internal organs. Hinata envisioned a move that would retain the characteristics of Gentle Fist while causing large-scale physical destruction. Acting on impulse, Hinata jumped down from the tree, fists at her waist as she concentrated a large amount of chakra into her hands. "Byakugan!" Hinata activated her Byakugan to observe the chakra flow. Blue chakra seeped from the tenketsu in Hinata’s hands. She carefully controlled the chakra, trying to keep it attached to her fists without dispersing. “Whew~” Exhaling softly, Hinata cautiously manipulated the chakra into a different shape. The form didn’t necessarily have to be lions; she thought making the chakra resemble fists would look more imposing. Though it sounded simple, using chakra this way was incredibly challenging. Without the Hyuga clan's unique physiology and Byakugan, ordinary ninjas couldn't possibly achieve it. Even within the Hyuga clan, a high level of chakra control was required. A massive chakra fist formed quickly, though it looked a bit blurry, much like a low-resolution image. Next came the crucial step. Hinata began injecting more chakra into the chakra fist, compressing it without enlarging it. She found controlling both hands simultaneously challenging, so she dispersed the chakra on her left hand to focus entirely on her right. Feeling her control reaching its limit, Hinata applied the air palm method to compress the chakra fist on her right hand. "Hah!" With a light exclamation, Hinata unleashed the air palm. The chakra fist on her right hand exploded mid-air, losing its shape as a large amount of chakra smashed into a tree, shattering it with a 'boom.' Her control was insufficient, and the explosive force wasn't strong enough. Hinata humbly acknowledged her shortcomings, resolving to improve before graduation. “Well—it actually has a lot of potential for growth.” Hinata nodded contentedly. Though it seemed like a more powerful air palm, gathering chakra externally meant she could continue to compress it without worrying about hurting her hand’s meridians. This naturally enhanced its power. Moreover, forming chakra externally allowed her to incorporate chakra’s shape or nature transformation.
