Among the trees, Hyuga Hanabi watched Hinata fully bloom with surprise.
Although she had seen this many times over the past month, she still found it unbelievable.
Big Sister really is different now!
So it really is because of you?
Hanabi watched the two fighting, and when she saw Naruto strike Hinata, she thought angrily, How dare this guy bully Big Sister?
I’ll teach him a lesson later.
Naruto pushed Hinata back with a palm and said, “Hinata, do you want to take a break?
You’re getting tired.”
“No, I can still fight.” Hinata gritted her teeth and refused to stop.
This time, I must land all thirty-two palms.
Naruto frowned when he heard this but said nothing.
Instead, he once again assumed the opening stance of Tai Chi.
Seeing this, Hinata charged forward.
This time, rather than simply receiving Hinata’s attacks, Naruto began trying to dodge them continuously.
After blocking several strikes, he would often evade the next two.
Faster.
I can dodge even faster.
As long as I’m fast enough, the attacks can’t hit me.
The martial arts of the world are invincible through speed alone!
At first, Naruto would still block several attacks, but soon he stopped receiving her palms altogether and focused solely on evading them.
Now!
Hinata activated her Byakugan and watched the meridians throughout Naruto’s body.
Then, after finding the right moment, she shouted, “Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms!”
Centered around Hinata, an invisible Eight Trigrams formation seemed to appear.
Big Sister actually…
Hanabi had never seen Hinata like this before.
Hinata struck out with one palm, and her special chakra followed the attack.
This time, Naruto could only barely dodge it.
But the moment that palm passed, the next one followed.
“Two palms, four palms…
Thirty-two palms!”
Unable to dodge, Naruto was pierced by streams of special chakra before being sent flying.
Big Sister is amazing!
This guy has finally seen how powerful the Hyuga clan is!
Hanabi couldn’t help feeling proud, as though she were the one who had defeated Naruto.
A daughter of the Hyuga clan?
The Third Hokage puffed on his pipe, his thoughts impossible to read.
” Hiruzen, now that the Fox has graduated, as Konoha’s weapon, I propose that he join Root.
That is the only way to ensure that this weapon remains under our control.”
“Our control?
You mean your control, don’t you, Danzo?
Don’t think I don’t know what you’ve been doing all these years.” The Third Hokage glanced at Danzo.
“Do you really think I don’t know how the rumor that Naruto is the Fox spread?” The Third Hokage looked furious.
“Hiruzen, wasn’t all of this allowed by you?
Just like the White Fang back then…” Danzo sneered, but before he could finish, the Third Hokage interrupted him. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
“Shut up, Danzo.
I am the Hokage.”
“Hmph.
You’ll regret this.”
Danzo walked out, leaning on his cane.
Danzo…
Sensei, was I wrong?
The Third Hokage fell into deep thought.
Various scenes appeared in his mind: the White Fang, Orochimaru, Uchiha Fugaku…
He lowered his head and looked at Naruto in the crystal ball again.
I’m not wrong.
Wherever the leaves of Konoha dance, the fire will continue to burn.
Time will prove everything…
In the image, Naruto slowly stood up.
Naruto-kun, I did it.
Hinata, who had never managed to break through thirty-two palms before, had finally performed all thirty-two palms in front of Naruto.
She then collapsed to the ground after exhausting her chakra.
How is this possible?
×2
The fallen Hinata and Hanabi, who was hiding nearby, were both shocked.
He was hit by the Gentle Fist and can still stand?
Even the Third Hokage couldn’t help feeling puzzled.
He looked at Naruto and Hinata in the image again, then suddenly understood.
So that’s how it is.
“Well, the Gentle Fist really is formidable.
Even when you’re prepared for it, it’s still difficult to guard against!” Naruto propped himself up and stood.
“Naruto…” Hinata also tried to get up, but the moment she pushed herself upright, she collapsed again.
“You don’t need to get up.
I’ll do it!”
Naruto walked over to Hinata, casually picked her up, and carried her toward a stone bench nearby.
“Naruto, uh…” Hinata cried out in surprise.
Her cheeks immediately turned bright red like a kettle coming to a boil, steam practically seeming to rise from the top of her head.
Then she fainted.
“…” Naruto looked at Hinata in his arms, placed her on the stone bench, and glanced around before finally relaxing.
If someone suddenly came over, how would I even explain this?
Naruto silently stared at Hinata lying there, speechless.
“Hm?
What’s this?”
Naruto lowered his head and looked at Hinata’s hair.
He reached over and flipped it aside.
“What?
It’s just a twig.
I thought it was something else!”
He tossed the twig away, sat upright on the stone bench, and waited for Hinata to wake up.
How did you resist the Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Palm?”
A voice came from behind Naruto.
It was Hyuga Hanabi, who had seen Naruto stand back up.
“Who are you?” Naruto asked, pretending to be puzzled.
“I’m her younger sister!” Hanabi pointed at Hinata.
“So how did you withstand the Gentle Fist?”
“I see.
I didn’t know Hinata had a younger sister.” Naruto suddenly understood.
“But how to resist the Gentle Fist is a secret.
I wonder what you’ll give me in exchange for that secret?”
“…” Hanabi looked at Naruto speechlessly.
Her eyes seemed to be saying that Naruto was nothing more than a con artist trying to fool a child.
“So you’re treating me like a child?” Hanabi demanded.
“So you’re not a child?” Naruto mimicked Hanabi’s words.
“…” Hanabi didn’t answer.
She simply stared straight at Naruto.
“Fine.
I’ll explain it because of Hinata.”
Considering that the Third Hokage and the ANBU were watching from the shadows, Naruto decided that he might as well give her an explanation.
“The Gentle Fist of your Hyuga clan can directly attack the inside of the body.
It really is powerful, but if it can’t hit the target, then no matter how powerful the Gentle Fist is, it’s useless.”
“Moreover, the Gentle Fist is different from the Strong Fist.
Generally speaking, people accustomed to using the Gentle Fist rely on the effects of that special chakra, so their physical striking power isn’t particularly strong.
Hinata is a good example of this.
Her speed is decent, but her strength isn’t enough to hurt me.
Once I can defend against that special chakra, the Gentle Fist won’t be very effective against me.”
Naruto pointed at himself, indicating that he was perfectly fine.
“…” Hanabi was somewhat speechless.
Can’t you just get to the point?
Do you think I don’t know that being able to defend against the Gentle Fist’s chakra means you won’t suffer much damage?
“So how did you defend against this chakra?” Hanabi asked with a frown.
“First, use a large amount of chakra to protect your vital points.
Then, as long as your body’s recovery speed is fast enough, you’ll be fine.
You can’t use this method.
It’s something you’re born with.”
“…” Hanabi looked at Naruto speechlessly =_=.
So basically, you didn’t tell me anything?
Having understood the reason, Hanabi didn’t dwell on it any further.
She simply walked over to Hinata.
“I’m taking Big Sister home.
Don’t follow me!”
After saying this loudly, she carried Hinata on her back and headed home.
“Kids in the ninja world really are strong…”
After sighing in amazement, Naruto rubbed his chin and then turned around, making his way home.
“Want access to 99+ chapters?”.
