Chapter 35: Poor Consideration, Teaching HinataTai Chi Fist
Naruto stepped forward and said, "Hinata! Have you ever thought about practicing Taijutsu?"
Hinata looked at Naruto with some confusion and said, "The Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms I practice is Taijutsu!"
Naruto shook his head and said, "I don't mean that kind!"
Hinata looked at Naruto in confusion, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Even Shikamaru and Ino stopped their practice and walked over.
Naruto looked at Hinata and asked, "How far can your Byakugan see now?"
Although Hinata didn't understand what Narutowas getting at, she answered truthfully.
"The radius of the range I can observe with my Byakugan now is about five kilometers!"
Naruto nodded upon hearing this and said, "Then have you ever thought about directly drawing a bow and firing an arrow after activating your Byakugan, killing an enemy directly from 3 kilometers away?"
Naruto's words stunned Hinata, and not just her; even Shikamaru, Ino, Shino, and Choji were stunned.
If Taijutsu is practiced to a certain level, combined with a good bow and arrow and the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan, sniping enemies from a long distance is completely feasible.
It could be said that ninety-five percent of the Hyuga Clan has activated the Byakugan, with the only difference being the distance. Even those with the shortest range can see enemies 3 kilometers away. If equipped with bows and arrows, the Hyuga Clan would be quite terrifying.
Shikamaru thought of this and said with a cold sweat, "Naruto, don't say any more! This matter must not be spread, otherwise the Hyuga Clan will be in danger."
Naruto was stunned for a moment by Shikamaru's words, but quickly reacted. If others knew about this advantage, especially the Konoha F4, the Hyuga Clan would suffer. After dealing with the Uchiha Clan, the Hyuga Clan might be next.
Understanding this, Naruto nodded and said, "I was a bit rash! Hinata, just act like I never said anything."
Shikamaru shook his head, looked at Naruto and Hinata, and said, "This matter still needs to be told to Clan Leader Hiashi, so he has an idea in his mind."
Naruto thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's fine too!"
Then Naruto looked at Ino and the others and said, "What I just said, you must never tell anyone, otherwise Hinata will be in danger."
Ino, Shino, and Choji all nodded, also understanding the stakes of the matter.
However, Hinata still looked at Naruto and said, "But I also listen to Naruto-kun's opinion and am willing to follow Naruto-kun in Body Tempering."
Naruto thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "My consideration was a bit poor. Forget about the Body Tempering! I don't want you to encounter any danger."
"O... okay! I'll listen to Naruto-kun."
Seeing Hinata's obedient and cute appearance, Naruto smiled and said, "How about this, I'll teach you a set of fist techniques to see if you can learn them."
After saying that, Naruto took two steps forward and began to perform Tai Chi Fist.
While performing Tai Chi Fist, Naruto said, "Grasp the Sparrow's Tail, Single Whip, Raise Hand and Step Up, White Crane Spreads Its Wings, Brush Knee and Twist Step, Step Forward, Deflect, Block and Punch, Apparent Close-up, Cross Hands, Embrace Tiger and Return to Mountain."
After finishing the Tai Chi Fist, Naruto said, "Tai Chi Fist is about using slowness to defeat speed, using stillness to control movement, and the changes of Yin and Yang. The secret of this fist technique is: empty and agile crown energy, contain the chest and pull up the back, relax the waist and drop the hips, sink the shoulders and drop the elbows—these sixteen characters. It is performed purely with intent; the most taboo thing is using brute force. Heart and spirit must be as one."
After saying that, Naruto looked at Hinata and asked, "How much did you remember?"
Hinata lowered her head shyly and tapped her fingers, saying, "I remembered everything Naruto-kun said, but the fist movements... I didn't remember!"
Naruto said with a smile, "It's okay, I'll teach you slowly."
As soon as Naruto finished speaking, Ino shouted and tried to grab Naruto's arm.
Seeing this, Naruto quickly used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge.
Seeing Naruto run away, Ino also remembered Naruto's Body Tempering Technique.
However, Ino still shouted at Naruto, "Naruto, you're too biased! I want you to give me a Ninjutsutoo."
Naruto said with a bitter smile, "I don't have any Ninjutsu suitable for you here!"
"Hmph... I don't care! I want it, I want it, you can't be so biased."
Seeing Ino acting spoiled and throwing a tantrum, Naruto was also a bit helpless. He smacked his lips and said, "Actually, I have a concept for a Ninjutsu, but it hasn't been realized yet."
"Really? What Ninjutsu?"
Ino was so excited she was about to hug Naruto, but remembering Naruto's Body Tempering Technique, she stopped abruptly. However, she still looked at Naruto expectantly.
Naruto rubbed his nose and said, "Actually, this Ninjutsu is just a concept of mine. It's about whether you can circulate Chakra through the movement of your lips to directly transmit the words you want to say into the other person's brain."
Hearing this, Ino's face fell, and she glared at Naruto, saying, "This Ninjutsu is useless to me! I can completely perform the Mind Transfer Jutsu, and I can even talk to you in your mental space!"
"Uh... but your Mind Transfer Jutsu also requires hand seals! The Ninjutsu I'm talking about requires no hand seals at all. You just need to move your lips and use spiritual energy and Chakra to send out the words you want to say."
Shikamaru listened and nodded, saying, "This Ninjutsu is quite useful. For passing intelligence secretly, you could even send intelligence right in front of the enemy, completely silent and invisible. It's just that developing this Ninjutsu would be quite difficult."
Naruto shrugged helplessly and looked at Shikamaru, saying, "So only the Yamanaka Clan is most suitable for developing this Ninjutsu. It would be very difficult for other clans to develop it."
Ino looked at Shikamaru with a bit of doubt and asked, "Is this Ninjutsu really useful?"
Shikamaru nodded solemnly and said, "Tell Uncle Inoichi about it when you go back!"
"Okay! I'll tell my dad."
However, Ino still looked at Naruto with a long face and said, "In the end, you still didn't teach me a Ninjutsu."
Naruto shrugged helplessly and said, "I have Medical Ninjutsu and Sealing Jutsu here. Which one do you want to learn?"
Ino laughed awkwardly and shook her head upon hearing this, saying, "Forget it! I have a bloodline sickness where I get sleepy as soon as I look at a book. Just spare me!"
Naruto shrugged and said, "Well, there you go!"
Actually, Naruto wanted to teach the Rasengan to Ino and the others, but since the cultivation of the Rasengan wasn't officially recorded under his name yet, Naruto had to give up.
Seeing that Naruto really didn't seem to have a suitable Ninjutsu for her, Ino could only turn around huffily and continue her cultivation.
Shikamaru and Choji didn't continue pestering Naruto either and followed Ino to cultivate.
Naruto originally wanted to go cultivate as well, but he saw Shino standing there, staring intently at him.
