This is an introduction before practicing the Empty Palm, which also uses Chakra to release an air cannon-like shockwave from a distance.
It can achieve both offense and defense.
Unfortunately, Hinata's Gentle Fist: Palm Pressure encountered the Rasengan.
Although the power of an ordinary Rasengan is not as great as an A-rank Ninjutsu.
Even though Naruto still held back and used a miniature Rasengan, it was still not something a mere Palm Pressure could withstand.
"Whoosh"
The high-speed, irregularly spinning Chakra ball easily pierced through the Palm Pressure shockwave with just its self-generated vortex.
Naruto used the Instantaneous Body Technique to close in, pushed the hand holding the miniature Rasengan forward, and his hands suddenly collided with Hinata's.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!!!"
Hinata's sleeves were instantly shredded by the Rasengan's force, scattering like butterflies, and she herself was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into a nearby water tower.
With a loud "thud."
The surface of the metal water tower caved in, forming a huge dent, and Hinata was embedded within it, spitting out a mouthful of blood with a "wow" sound, her face turning a few shades paler.
Her hands hung limply, her palms bloody, and her entire arms trembled slightly.
And this was only the superficial injury.
The Rasengan affects the body's Chakra flow, causing Chakra to become chaotic.
Hinata's Chakra was currently flowing wildly through her meridians, adding injury to injury, and she was continuously trying to adjust the out-of-control Chakra.
Fortunately, Naruto was quick enough, using the Instantaneous Body Technique to appear before Hinata, picked her up, and then took out a healing potion from the item bar that he had purchased at the Earth Mother God Temple.
Healing potions were more expensive than blood recovery potions.
But since the other party was his future wife, there was naturally no need to feel bad about this amount of money.
"Did I go too far?"
Naruto sprinkled the healing potion little by little on Hinata's hands, his brows tightly furrowed, feeling distressed and self-reproachful.
Lying in Naruto's arms, Hinata momentarily forgot to be shy.
Aside from the pain throughout her body, she was even more shocked by Naruto's strength.
Hinata had originally thought that she could at least take two or three of Naruto's moves; although she couldn't win, a few exchanges should be fine, right?
The result... she was instantly defeated in one move.
And the other party still looked at ease, as if he hadn't used his full strength.
"So... our gap... is this big..."
"No!"
"I need to work harder and keep up with Naruto's pace; even if I can't walk side by side with him, I can't hold him back."
Hinata was not discouraged; instead, a fighting spirit ignited deep within her!
"Hinata..."
"Hmm? Oh! It's nothing, I'm fine."
"I'm not a hothouse flower; what's a small injury like this? How can I be a Ninja if I'm afraid of pain and injury?"
Hinata came back to her senses and replied with a smile.
"That's good."
Naruto breathed a slight sigh of relief.
...
!!
The moment their eyes met, Hinata's face quickly heated up, turning red, and finally, her head emitted white steam with a "poof," and she felt dizzy all over.
Only then did Hinata realize that she was lying in Naruto's arms.
Naruto helped the dizzy Hinata up, found that she couldn't even stand steadily, swaying left and right like a little duck, and couldn't help but smile.
"Do you know where your weakness is now?"
Hinata leaned against the wall, her small hand covering her chest, her heart pounding like a startled deer.
She breathed in small gasps, adjusted her emotions, and shook her head.
"After being hit by you, I feel like I'm weak everywhere."
?
Naruto playfully flicked Hinata's forehead, guiding her with a question: "The Hyuga Clan's biggest advantage is the Byakugan, right?"
Hinata rubbed her slightly reddened forehead and nodded gently.
"Then, what is the amazing aspect of the Byakugan?" Naruto asked again.
Hinata answered without hesitation: "A 360° field of view, the ability to see through the opponent's meridians, Chakra points, and the flow of Chakra in the body; a long-range vision eye that can see distant objects, and a strong observational eye."
"That's right."
"If so, how can the Byakugan's ability be maximized? Is it Gentle Fist?"
Naruto patiently guided Hinata.
Hinata was stunned.
Is it not Gentle Fist?
This was the Taijutsu created and perfected by successive generations of Hyuga Clan powerhouses, the most suitable for the Byakugan.
The Hyuga Clan's ability to stand firm in Konoha Village, besides the Byakugan, also relied on the Gentle Fist.
Naruto chuckled and shook his head: "As you just saw, the Hyuga Clan's physique isn't that strong. Although Gentle Fist can overcome hardness with softness, what do you do when you encounter a steel plate you can't bite through?"
Hinata listened with half-belief.
Because in her opinion, Gentle Fist's defense had 'Rotation,' which was known as absolute defense!
Its offense had Empty Palm and Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!
Both offense and defense, seamless.
Naruto seemed to see Hinata's confusion and continued: "Gentle Fist is certainly not weak, but it hasn't maximized the Byakugan's potential."
"You just said that the Byakugan can see far, and it has a 360° field of view with no blind spots."
"If you can discover the opponent from a kilometer away and kill them, wouldn't that eliminate the risk of close combat?"
Hinata's heart trembled upon hearing this.
The Byakugan, with its long-range vision and 360° field of view, naturally possessed a reconnaissance advantage.
It could find enemies before they even noticed themselves, gaining an absolute head start.
However.
What if, at the same time as discovering the enemy, you could snipe and eliminate him?
Wouldn't that be even more terrifying!
Hinata thought of something and shook her head: "Although that's true in theory, there's no Ninjutsu or Ninja tool that can achieve that."
Naruto smiled slightly, exuding strong and firm confidence: "If there isn't one now, it doesn't mean there won't be one in the future."
Minato Namikaze could develop the Rasengan for Uzumaki Kushina, so Naruto could naturally create a Ninjutsu suitable for sniping for Hinata.
The most difficult aspects of sniping are aiming and the 'gun and bullet.'
Aiming, for Hinata, who possesses the Byakugan, is naturally not a problem.
In fact, it could be said that every member of the Hyuga Clan who possesses the Byakugan is a natural sniper.
The remaining problem is to solve the "gun and bullet" issue.
Here, the "gun and bullet" are, of course, Ninjutsu.
Although it hasn't been created yet, there is a research idea.
"Compressing the Rasengan to the extreme should allow it to act as a bullet."
"If it undergoes nature transformation, incorporating Lightning Release Chakra, like Uzumaki Boruto, creating a disappearing Rasengan..."
Byakugan + disappearing compressed Rasengan?!
Naruto's eyelids twitched instantly.
He glanced out of the corner of his eye at the shy and adorable Hinata.
If it really came to fruition, Hyuga Hinata would become the "White Shinigami" that would strike fear into the Ninja World!
You must know.
No matter how strong your Ninja Technique is, without precautions, the body is still ordinary flesh and blood.
Sniping from a thousand meters away, assassinating and ambushing, a headshot—there aren't many people in the Ninja World who could survive that.
"Good heavens, will I unintentionally cultivate a female sniper god?" Naruto thought to himself.
"This is good too; it's better than close-quarters combat where you go fist to flesh."
Perhaps no one expected that the White Shinigami of Konoha Village, who would dominate the Ninja World battlefield in the future and make many high-ranking officials change their expressions, would be cultivated step by step by Naruto.
