Bab 499: Chapter 99
Title: Vs Hinata
...
Hinata POV
I'm strong. Very strong. I don't know how much, but I know I'm strong. I've never really had to go all out in any and all battles I've been in since I became a Shinobi.
Whether in the clan or outside the clan, I just felt like...there was no need.
In the clan, father always wanted me to prove I was better than Hanabi-chan, mother was always against this and I knew it, even if she doesn't always voice it out in public.
Hanabi-chan on the other hand just wants to prove herself. Both to father, mother, me and the clan.
I don't blame her though, that's how the little sister is supposed to be. She's supposed to have all the attention, and I wholly support her.
However, ever since I started going easy on her, I've noticed she always gives me this eye...as if to say I'm her enemy or something.
She doesn't want to speak to me whenever I try to speak to her, she'd just snort and be on her way. Mother always promises to do something about her but nothing seems to work.
I try my best to be both kind and harsh at the same time. I don't really get the clan and their rules so I make mine, if anyone has a problem with it, they could always ask my fist.
Some may ask...When did I get violent?
The answer is pretty simple...I stopped being overly caring. Sensei made sure to drill that into me.
As for my Sensei? That would be Hinami-san. I dunno who she is in reality, but she always appears in my dreams, or rather, I do appeal in her home in my dream...It's a pretty complicated stuff which even I am not too sure about.
She wouldn't explain so I just went through the motions whenever I appeared in her home.
Whatever I learn there always reflects back in reality. It's as though I love a double life while others live one.
In there, all the clan's treasured techniques are merely the foundations to something greater...Or so she said.
According to her, those were mere mortal techniques... Whatever that means.
But still, she made sure to drill into me all those techniques...it was to the extent that I didn't even see the need in practicing the bullshit the clan teaches.
To make matters worse, whenever I try to teach little Hanabi, she just gives me the stink eye before snorting and stomping away.
According to her, I only want to derail her progress while I continue being stronger.
The imagination of a kid.
Naruto always assures me that she still likes me though...That empathy is his. I don't know whether to trust it or not...but if there's something I'm sure of... Naruto is rarely wrong. So I'll wait.
Currently though, I'm about to put everything I've learnt so far into actual practice. This man has the same ability as that woman who always comes to bicker with Hinami-san, I dunno her name but she's one badass woman. As a woman, she's my role model.
According to Hinami-san, only three people could hope to give her a good fight, and compared to her, this Pain or whatever he calls himself is nothing but a phony.
From what Katsuyu has gathered so far, this Pain's ability has a 3 seconds cool down, so after every attack, I should be able to get some hits in.
Here goes...I only hope I can brag about this when I meet Hinami-san again. Perhaps that woman would then look at me seriously.
General POV.
Hinata's gaze was resolute, a reflection of her determination as she took a step forward. Her Byakugan activated, keenly observing the foes in front of her.
With her many years training under Hinami, she had developed the ability to foresee any attack that would bring her harm a few seconds before they hit.
It wasn't a sure ability, but it always activated when it mattered, hence her concentration.
"Pain, I won't let you bring more harm to my village!" Hinata said
Tendo however, shook his head. "Your resistance is futile. Prepare for the inevitable."
The battle commenced with a burst of speed from Hinata, launching into a Gentle Fist Assault. Each strike was precise, targeting Tendo's chakra points to disrupt his jutsu.
Tendo however swiftly dodged all her attacks with minimum movements, "Your efforts are in vain."
Saying that, Tendo responded with a devastating Shinra Tensei, creating a shockwave that sent Hinata hurtling backward. Despite the force, with Hinata's Byakugan foresight she was able to perform a [Revolving Heaven] to minimize the impact.
Undeterred, she activated her Twin Lion Fists once again, channeling chakra into her palms. Closing in once more, she aimed to disable Tendo's techniques.
"I sure hope dodging isn't all you can do." She said as she tried to hit him at least once. With the Twin Lion Fist, she could absorb the chakra of her enemies with every hit.
What she needed right now was one hit...With that, she could destabilize the man in front of her for sometime, enabling her to free Naruto.
However, as if knowing her thoughts, Tendo countered with Bansho Ten'in, attempting to pull Hinata towards him. Swiftly, she executed a rotation, deflecting the pull and delivering a decisive strike.
However, as the strike landed on Tendo, she couldn't help but praise..."The hell...?"
She muttered as she felt the lack of actual chakra on the body...Even puppets had a bit of the owner's chakra attached to them. This body however was like...
'Was this a sentient puppet?'
That pause however, was all Tendo needed. With a raise of his hand, Hinata was sent flying, and with no Revolving Heaven to stave off the effects, she was slammed hard on the ground.
"Cough!" Hinata coughed out blood as she hit the ground. This was the first time she was actually taking this much damage...in real life that is. Despite the pain, she didn't wince in pain whatsoever.
Knowing there was a cool down to his attack when used, she summoned all her energy and flash stepped to Naruto, and with a kick, she broke the rods pinning his two hands to the floor.
Time however, wasn't on her side as she immediately felt her body lose control. Before she knew what was happening, she was already on the air descending with so much speed that she felt she would die.
"How irritating." She heard Tendo say. "You Konoha Shinobi are truly the most irritating of them all."
As he said that, he proceeded to walk slowly towards the girl who was already on her way to breaking the remaining rods on Naruto.
"Hey! Pain. Stop it! You hear me! You better stop it right now!" Naruto shouted as he saw Tendo pull out his rod while approaching them.
"I believe the time for talks is over. We can't seem to understand each other... unfortunately." Tendo said, and raising his hand, he pulled Hinata up towards him with the rod ready to impale her.
"Humph. [Stellar Transposition]" Hinata snorted before mumbling. Her body that was being pulled towards Tendo immediately halted as an aura covered her entire body. In the next moment, she was right beside Naruto.
"Wha-!? Hinata-chan? What was that?" Naruto asked,. confused. Substitution technique? No, she didn't switch with anything. Then what was it?
"Just a little Secret Technique." She said with labored breath. Inwardly though, she sighed in wonder at their miraculous use of this Jutsu.
According to Hinami-san, this was a part of the Hyūga clan Eight Trigrams Palm Technique. This one however, deals with movement.
The Eight Trigrams Palm Technique had 6 known parts.
1. Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven (Hakke Rokujuuyonshou)
2. Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms (Hakke Rokujuuyonshou)
3. Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms (Hakke Sanjuni Shou)
4. Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm (Hakke Kūshou)
5. Eight Trigrams Big Palm (Hakke Hyakunijuuhachishou)
6. Eight Trigrams Mountain Crusher (Hakke Hasangeki)
Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven (Hakke Rokujuuyonshou) is a defensive technique where the user swiftly rotates, creating a protective shield of chakra around them. This technique is particularly effective against multiple attackers, deflecting their attacks while keeping the user unharmed.
Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms (Hakke Rokujuuyonshou) is an offensive technique involving rapid-fire strikes to precisely hit 64 of the opponent's chakra points. This disrupts the flow of chakra and immobilizes the target, leaving them vulnerable to follow-up attacks.
Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms (Hakke Sanjuni Shou) is a condensed version of the Sixty-Four Palms, involving 32 strikes targeting specific chakra points. While less comprehensive than its counterpart, it is executed with greater speed, catching opponents off guard.
Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm (Hakke Kūshou) is a long-range attack where the user releases a burst of chakra from their palm, creating a vacuum wave that repels the target. This technique is useful for creating distance or disrupting an opponent's attack.
Eight Trigrams Big Palm (Hakke Hyakunijuuhachishou) is a technique where the user releases an enormous amount of chakra from their palm, creating a large shockwave. This can be employed for both offensive and defensive purposes, depending on the situation.
Eight Trigrams Mountain Crusher (Hakke Hasangeki) is a technique where the user delivers a powerful open-palm strike, releasing a concentrated burst of chakra upon contact. This attack can have devastating effects on the target, both physically and in disrupting their chakra flow.
However all these techniques had a glaring flaw, which is that, while performing them, the user wouldn't be able to move. The Stellar Transposition however...
...was a unique facet within the Eight Trigrams technique, it is an advanced movement technique similar to the flash step, mastered by skilled users of the Byakugan.
This specialized maneuver involves seamlessly shifting within the confined space created by the intricate rotation of the Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven.
As the user swiftly rotates, weaving through the protective chakra shield, this technique allows for instantaneous movements within the designated perimeter due to their near 360° view.
Over the years, due to the lack of skilled users, this particular technique was lost in time, and now...it made an appearance in the person of Hinata.
"This guy...is tricky." Hinata said with a frown.
"You think..?" Murmured Naruto.
