Night.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the night was hazy.

With her hair loose, Hinata sat alone barefoot on the wooden porch under the eaves, with somewhat messy scrolls laid out beside her.
This Flying Thunder God scroll contained not only Senju Tobirama’s insights but also Minato Namikaze’s understanding; these provided a certain level of help to Hinata.
However, the most important part of the Flying Thunder God Technique is sensing space-time fluctuations.
Hinata currently had no clue about this point.
But come to think of it, the most used technique in the Ninja World that utilizes this is the Summoning Technique.
Summoning a contracted beast from thousands of miles away.
Hinata wasn’t sure if Senju Tobirama had invented the Flying Thunder God Technique based on inspiration from the Summoning Technique back then.
Rubbing her temples, Hinata lay flat on the floor, staring blankly at the moon hanging in the sky.
It is currently known that the Flying Thunder God Technique works by sensing space-time coordinates to achieve an effect similar to the Reverse Summoning Jutsu, teleporting oneself instantly to the vicinity of the coordinates.
Does that mean the Flying Thunder God Technique is actually just an extremely fast Summoning Technique?
Then wouldn’t the Flying Thunder God Formation be a defensive summoning technique that can stay for a short time?
Thinking of this, Hinata couldn’t help but smile subconsciously.
If that were really the case, couldn’t she just engrave a large steel plate with the Flying Thunder God Formation pattern and throw it directly into the sea?
Then, when facing an enemy, she could just shout ‘Water Release’ and activate the Flying Thunder God Formation.
And just summon a tsunami to drown the opponent?
What would that be called?
Great Ocean Burial?
Hinata chuckled, somewhat amused by her own wild imagination.
“How could it be like that…”
As Hinata laughed, her smile gradually faded.
“Who says it can’t be like that?”
Hinata slowly sat up from the floor.
Having just laughed at her own rich imagination, her face now took on a thoughtful expression.
Throwing a steel plate engraved with the Flying Thunder God Formation into the sea and using it when facing an enemy could summon a massive amount of seawater to submerge the opponent.
The only difficulty would be how to prevent the summoned seawater from being used by the enemy.
Hinata felt a bit excited.
If this worked, it would mean she had a super Water Release that harnessed the power of nature!
As long as she could learn the Flying Thunder God Technique and its derivative, the Flying Thunder God Formation!
Uh, as long as she learns the Flying Thunder God Technique…
Hinata, who had been full of excitement just a moment ago, instantly became dejected.
She had come up with a super great idea, but it couldn’t be implemented yet due to insufficient conditions.
“The road is long and the task is heavy…”
Patting her forehead helplessly, Hinata picked up the Flying Thunder God Technique scroll and began reading again.
Hinata refused to believe that this mere Flying Thunder God Technique could stump her for long.
…
The next morning
Ninja Academy
With two visible dark circles under her eyes, Hinata walked into the classroom listlessly and greeted Ino.
“Morning!”
“Hinata?”
Hearing the familiar voice, Ino greeted Hinata energetically, but seeing Hinata’s clearly sleep-deprived appearance, she couldn’t help but look puzzled.
“I went to sleep too late last night.”
Hinata reached her seat, yawning and pointing to her dark circles as she explained.
“Then what are you going to do during class, Hinata?”
Seeing Hinata like this, Ino asked with some concern.
“It’s fine. Isn’t the person behind me also sleeping all day long?”
Hinata pointed to the pineapple-haired Nara Shikamaru behind her, who was dozing with his head propped up.
“Hey, hey, hey. Although I sleep in class, I’m a good student who listens carefully.”
Hearing Hinata mention him, Shikamaru opened his eyes and defended his reputation with a lazy look.
“Oh? Answer my question in one second.”
“What is fifty thousand times fifty thousand?”
Hinata turned her body, her lifeless eyes glancing at Nara Shikamaru.
“Two hundred and fifty thousand.”
Shikamaru blurted out without thinking.
“Nothing more for you, go back to sleep.”
Hinata waved her hand, a mocking smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
“???”
“Wait! I wasn’t prepared!”
Nara Shikamaru finally snapped out of it.
He was a bit frustrated; she had suddenly asked such a bizarre question, and he hadn’t even reacted!
As long as he was prepared in advance, there would definitely be no problem!
“Who’s listening to you?”
Hinata wasn’t going to give him another chance.
Although the young Shikamaru was smart, he was still too inexperienced.
Being able to get the better of him with a small trick was already quite good.
“Hahaha, even Shikamaru has his moments of being stumped.”
Beside them, Akimichi Choji, munching on potato chips, couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the scene.
“…”
Shikamaru helplessly facepalmed, speechless at Hinata’s wicked sense of humor.
This Hinata is really annoying!
At this moment, he finally felt a trace of the same sense of powerlessness that Naruto felt toward Hinata.
“Quiet!”
Iruka had arrived in the classroom to announce the start of class.
…
“Ah-ha~~”
As the bell rang for the end of school, Hinata rubbed her sleepy eyes, stood up, and stretched.
A figure stood before Hinata, backlit.
“I challenge you!”
The boy with black hair and black eyes stared intently at Hinata, who was rubbing her eyes, and spoke in a cold voice.
This sudden scene caused the classroom, which was just about to become noisy, to instantly fall silent again.
Everyone in the class was staring at this scene.
The second young master of the Uchiha family was challenging the eldest miss of the Hyuga family!
One was an Uchiha, the other a Hyuga!
Both were famous great clans in the Village!
“?”
“Oh, it’s you…”
With dead-fish eyes, Hinata looked at Uchiha Sasuke standing in front of her, her face full of lethargy.
“Great!”
“Stuck-up Sasuke, you’ve finally seen the light!”
“This girl is a complete violent girl through and through!”
“You should give her a good beating!”
In this quiet moment, a blond boy dashed to Sasuke’s side like the wind, laughing loudly and slapping Uchiha Sasuke on the shoulder, seemingly relieved that Sasuke had finally come to his senses.
“It seems you didn’t rest well…”
“If you’re willing to accept the challenge, I can wait until tomorrow.”
Sasuke ignored the jumping blond beside him, his gaze lingering for a moment on Hinata’s still-tired face, intending to wait until tomorrow.
After all, Hinata was clearly not in good condition.
If he challenged her now, it wouldn’t be a fair victory even if he won.
That would disgrace the Uchiha name.
“How can you say that?!”
“You should beat her up right now!”
“Hey!”
“violent girl, hurry up and accept the challenge!”
A certain blond was still chattering away.
“Oh.”
“Beat up Naruto first, then I’ll duel you.”
Hinata tilted her head and pointed her finger at Naruto, who was standing next to Uchiha Sasuke and had been egging him on to attack her.
“Eh???”
Naruto was dumbfounded.
Wait, what did stuck-up Sasuke challenging violent girl Hinata have to do with him?!
“Fine! You said it!”
Seeing Hinata agree to his challenge, Sasuke nodded heavily and spoke with a serious expression.
“Sasuke, you can’t do this!”
“We’re on the same side!”
Naruto retreated quickly with a look of terror, wanting to escape.
Some troublemaking onlookers enthusiastically closed the classroom door for Naruto.
“Help!”
