Night.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse; the night is hazy.
Hinata leaned over her desk, couldn’t help but rub her eyes, and stretched.
Senju Tobirama was truly a genius-like figure.
In the Ninja World, there was no precedent, and with space-time techniques being almost exclusively the domain of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, he alone created the Flying Thunder God Technique from scratch.
Hinata’s desk was covered with materials for practicing the Flying Thunder God formula.
The prerequisite for wanting to practice the Flying Thunder God Technique is the need to understand what space-time is.
Space and time combine into a four-dimensional space-time, a dynamic entity that can be curved by matter and energy, disturbed by gravitational waves, and can even expand itself.
In short, all in all, that’s roughly the idea.
Furthermore, Senju Tobirama also indicated in this Flying Thunder God scroll that the Flying Thunder God Technique was only a semi-finished product.
His true original goal was to be able to directly open space-time portals, thereby delivering truly indefensible strikes against enemies.
If it were the Flying Thunder God Technique as Senju Tobirama envisioned, then even if one simply struck with a blade at an empty wasteland, the moment the blade thrust through, the infinite spatial nodes of that blade would be distributed across an enemy tens of thousands of miles away, resulting in a theoretically unlimited number of attacks.
Hinata rubbed her temples; regarding Senju Tobirama’s ideas, she could only say he was truly worthy of being a figure at the pinnacle of the Ninja World.
Under the peerless power of his elder brother, Senju Hashirama, he, who should have been eclipsed, was able to radiate a brilliance that belonged solely to him.
Hinata had a strong learning ability for techniques; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to master the Gentle Fist so skillfully so quickly.
With this Flying Thunder God Technique, Hinata encountered difficulties for the first time.
Besides needing to understand what space-time is, the Flying Thunder God Technique also requires perceiving space-time.
But that’s not important; there’s always a way when things come to a head.
Can a living person really be cornered by a little trouble?
If she pondered it herself for a while, she would eventually find the knack.
Hinata’s mindset had always been optimistic; otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone out of her way to beat up Naruto, Neji, and Kiba.
Thinking of this, Hinata carefully put away the Flying Thunder God scroll.
Pushing open the door, Hinata walked out of her room.
She could roughly guess why Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to see her, as her father had mentioned earlier.
After all, for a six-year-old child to ask for the Flying Thunder God Technique and Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags was truly inconceivable.
Only Hyuga Hiashi, under Hinata’s long-term ‘influence,’ could accept such a thing.
Stepping onto the wooden floor, Hinata walked toward the kitchen.
Since she was studying so hard, she naturally had to eat something good to nourish her body.
The body is the foundation of everything.
For the future and peace of the Ninja World, Hinata decided to indulge her appetite a little.
Hyuga Garden.
At this moment, two strangers, one large and one small, wearing white robes, stood in the garden as if no one else were there.
Surprisingly, whether it was passing servants or Ninjas, they all seemed to turn a blind eye to these two figures.
“Father, she’s so cute…”
The young figure gripped his father’s hand tightly, his seemingly hollow eyes watching the girl not far ahead.
“Does Toneri like her?”
“How about making her your wife in the future?”
Hearing his son’s words, the tall man showed a kind smile on his lips.
“Really?”
The child named Toneri, hearing his father speak like this, couldn’t help but raise his tone a bit, questioning his father with some joy.
However, in that instant of change, the technique hiding the father and son’s forms fluctuated slightly.
At the same time, Hinata, who was planning to go to the kitchen to find some food to fill her stomach, suddenly felt a chill surge through her heart.
Like the premonition of prey in nature being stared at by a predator, Hinata acted almost on instinct, instantly activating her Byakugan to look at the seemingly empty garden.
“Who’s there!”
“Get the hell out!”
Her body was much faster than her brain; before the words even left her mouth, Hinata had already taken out four Explosive Tags folded into shuriken from her pocket and thrown them!
As for where the Explosive Tags came from, don’t worry about that!
The Hyuga family warehouse has so many, and there are so many Explosive Tags in the warehouse; who would remember if a few went missing!
Boom!
Crimson flames accompanied by a shockwave swept through the entire garden!
Trees snapped, flower pots shattered, and flames licked at everything!
Through her Byakugan, Hinata clearly saw an invisible barrier emitting a flowing light block the explosion of the Explosive Tags!
And at the same time, behind that barrier, two figures could be seen standing indistinctly!
Seeing the figure about the same size as herself, Hinata’s pupils narrowed!
This seems to be…
Almost in an instant, the entire Hyuga Clan Compound was alerted!
A large number of Hyuga Ninjas quickly rushed toward the garden!
And just then, the two figures that had appeared in her sight seemed to sense something and actually vanished into thin air!
“Hinata!”
“What happened!”
Hyuga Hiashi was the first to arrive on the scene.
“An outsider broke in.”
Hinata spoke directly without hesitation.
Hyuga Hiashi didn’t answer, looking at the spot where the Explosive Tags had just detonated.
In the messy garden, there was still a patch of ground that remained completely intact.
Hyuga Hiashi walked forward to examine the undamaged area.
The garden seemed to have been sliced by something; on one side were the charred ruins after the explosion, while the other side looked as if it had never experienced any destruction.
This is…
Traces left by a defensive technique!
“Very clever methods.”
At some point, Hyuga Hizashi had appeared and stood with Hyuga Hiashi to observe the scene.
“Hinata, what happened just now?”
Hyuga Hiashi’s face was grim.
For an outsider to invade the inner sanctum of the Hyuga Clan was something that had never happened before, especially since almost every Hyuga had awakened the Byakugan; this was simply a disgrace!
“I was planning to go to the kitchen to look for food. Passing through here, I felt something was wrong and threw some Explosive Tags.”
Hinata quickly organized her thoughts and spoke calmly.
It couldn’t be wrong.
That brief glimpse just now—the white hair and that signature retro clothing style.
It was Ōtsutsuki Toneri.
The other adult…
should be his father.
Hyuga Hiashi automatically ignored the Explosive Tags Hinata mentioned; an outsider invading the Hyuga Clan Compound made where Hinata got the Explosive Tags completely trivial.
Moreover, the traces at the scene proved Hinata wasn’t lying.
“Hizashi, immediately notify the whole clan for martial law. I’m going to see the Hokage.”
Hyuga Hiashi spoke decisively in a cold voice.
Hinata was his daughter, and also the next clan head of the Hyuga, the future of the Hyuga.
No matter what, she must not be lost.
Furthermore, this was not just the heart of the Hyuga, but also the heart of Konoha!
“Hinata, you come with me.”
Hyuga Hiashi walked up to Hinata, his expression softening slightly.
Meanwhile, in the night sky, a pair of eyes watched everything within the Hyuga Clan Compound below.
