章節 56: Chapter 56 How To Remove The Caged Bird
Naruto kept evading, whether advancing or retreating, he was mostly dodging. At the same time, Hinata's stamina was rapidly depleting.
Neji had been steadily attacking with each palm strike. Sensing the opportunity, Naruto released the remaining chakra from Hinata's body. Relying on his experience of using the Kyubi's Chakra to cover his whole body, Naruto skillfully dispersed the remaining Chakra from Hinata's body.
"What is this?" Neji's pupils suddenly dilated after he stabbed the air with his palm, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
"That move! Could it be…!"
On the viewing platform, Lee gripped the railing tightly, leaning forward, his gaze fixed on Hinata's movements in the arena.
"It's Revolving Heaven?" Tenten, who was watching the game in the stands, also showed a surprised expression on her face, "How could it be Revolving Heaven?"
Sakura couldn't understand what they were talking about, but she felt it was impressive.
"What is Revolving Heaven?"
Revolving Heaven is a secret technique of the Hyuga Clan, which uses high-speed rotation to drive the Chakra wrapped around the body to form a Chakra vortex to neutralizes all external attacks. Essentially, it's like a high-speed rotating cutting machine that can negate force.
Of course, what Naruto used wasn't Revolving Heaven. How could he possibly use such a technique? He could barely manage the basic Chakra wrap on his palms for the Gentle Fist, let alone Revolving Heaven, a highly complex and difficult technique.
But Neji didn't know this. Almost at the same time Naruto started to attack, a large amount of blue Chakra burst out from Neji's body and his whole body was spinning at high speed.
He was using Revolving Heaven against 'Revolving Heaven'!
The real Revolving Heaven is to rotate the body causes the Chakra to rotate.
And what Naruto is using now is the fake Revolving Heaven, which is letting the Chakra rotate on its own.
With a loud boom, Naruto jumped back, allowing the Chakra vortex to collide with Neji's Revolving Heaven. The people in the stands only saw Hinata suddenly leap back from the confrontation, followed by the instantaneous collision of two Revolving Heaven, which exploded on impact. Neji was knocked back several meters, but managed to stay on his feet.
"What just happened?" Sakura asked wide-eyed, utterly confused.
However, Lee and Tenten were looking at the arena nervously, staring at Neji's figure with worried expressions.
The genius in their team actually failed?
Revolving Heaven is Neji's trump card, and they all know it. If he is defeated in such a place, Neji will undoubtedly feel deeply frustrated.
"That girl named Hinata is quite strong." Kakashi, who was watching the battle, suddenly remarked, "But I always feel something feels off about her. What do you think, Guy?"
Guy's expression wasn't relaxed either. Neji was his student, the most talented among his three students. He had considered that Neji might encounter tough opponents in the Chunin Exams, whether Sasuke or Naruto, but he never expected it to be Hinata.
After all, Neji was known as the genius of the branch family, and he is even more powerful than the main family's new generation.
"I feel something's off too." Guy said, "That girl is Kurenai's student, right? I heard she's quite introverted, but why does she fight like a boy?"
"Well, that reversal backhand just now reminded me of someone," Kakashi said with a deadpan expression. "I hope I'm just overthinking it."
As the improvised Rotation technique was used, the atmosphere in the arena grew tense, and Neji's expression became serious.
But at this moment, Naruto suddenly controlled Hinata's body, raised her hand, and spoke, "I have used up all my strength and chakra. I can't fight anymore. I surrender!"
"Surrender?" Neji gritted his teeth, "What kind of surrender is that? Pitying me?"
Naruto didn't say anything more. His method of playing as a substitute was not honorable in the first place. Now that he had achieved his goal, it would be too disgusting to stand on the moral high ground of a beneficiary and give some inspirational speeches.
The hatred between the main family and the branch family cannot be solved with a few words. The key to the Caged Bird is not in words. And breaking the cage requires an iron hammer, not love. However, these words are not suitable for Naruto to say, whether in his own body or Hinata's.
If you have never experienced someone else's pain, don't easily advise them to let go. Morality is meant to restrain oneself, not to bind others.
In the end, the match concluded.
[The Explosive Tags was successfully granted.]
Hinata did not return to the stands, but walked out of the central tower. She followed the familiar path and stopped at a shaded stone step. On the stone steps lay a blonde boy, Naruto's real body.
A few seconds later, Naruto, who was lying on the stone steps, suddenly opened his eyes.
The forest was filled with the noisy sound of cicadas, but the sunlight from above could not pierce through the canopy of the giant trees. Under the cool shade of the trees, Naruto and Hinata stared at each other for a few seconds.
"Are you angry?" Naruto asked tentatively.
Hinata shook her head. Her cheeks were so white they seemed to glow, making one want to pinch them.
"Then why are you unhappy?"
"When the match ended, I saw the lost look on Neji-niisan's face. I've never seen him look like that before." Hinata said, "Even though Neji-niisan won, he still felt very uncomfortable."
"Well, he probably feels frustrated. The genius of the branch family of the Hyuga Clan is stronger than the main family." Naruto said, "His pride was shattered, so he felt lost and even questioned his life."
"Then what should I do?" Hinata was completely flustered, "I am actually very weak and afraid of fighting with others. If it weren't for Naruto-kun, I might have..."
"Might have gotten beaten up?" Naruto asked, "Do you want to exchange a beating for Neji's goodwill towards the main family?"
"I…" Hinata hesitated.
"Don't worry." Naruto reached out and touched Hinata's head, comforting her, "This is not the way to solve the problem. The conflict between the main family and the branch family isn't something you can resolve alone. The crux of the problem doesn't lie with you."
"Naruto-kun, is there really no way?" Hinata asked somewhat aggrievedly.
"There is." Naruto said, "When you become the Clan Head, you can just completely abolish the Caged Bird."
"But I…"
"You haven't really thought about snatching the position of Clan Head just for Neji, have you?" Naruto suddenly laughed and asked.
"Um."
"I'm just teasing you. Solving the problem doesn't necessarily require you becoming the Clan Head." Naruto said, "Your father is the Clan Head of the Hyuga Clan. Since that's the case, you just need to convince him to abolish the Caged Bird."
"The Caged Bird is also to protect the weaker members of the Hyuga Clan. If the Byakugan cannot be used even if it is seized, then there is no need for the enemy to target the branch family. Conversely, the main family with perfect Byakugan will have to bear the risk of being targeted by others, which is why the tradition of the branch family protecting the main family slowly formed."
"But the root of the problem is that the Byakugan is too easy to transplant and too powerful in surveillance, making it coveted by many forces. As long as we spend our minds on how to protect the eyes, maybe we can slowly get rid of the Caged Bird."
Hinata was stunned when she heard this. She blinked, then looked at Naruto and asked, "Naruto-kun, why do you know so much about the Hyuga Clan?"
Hearing this, Naruto nonchalantly replied, "I heard it from others."

章節 57: Chapter 57 Only Once?
Hinata was skeptical, but didn't ask further.
However, Naruto's words indeed gave Hinata a glimmer of hope. Consoling a young girl doesn't necessarily require practical methods. It's enough to put forward constructive suggestions from a high-level perspective. As for how her father might abolish the Caged Bird and the obstacles he might face, those were unimportant.
At least, for now, the little girl's worries dissipated, and a smile reappeared on her face.
"Thank you, Naruto-kun."
"You're welcome. As long as you're happy, Hinata."
Hearing this, Hinata's face inexplicably blushed again.
[Progress with Hinata, Kyubi's approval 14.2%.]
Naruto really wanted to pinch Hinata's face, but in the end, he kept his composure and scratched his head, saying, "Hinata, you should go back inside. I need to leave now."
"Naruto-kun, aren't you going to go in and watch the matches?" Hinata was a little confused, "Sakura and Ino's match is about to start, right?"
"No." Naruto said awkwardly, "Since I forfeited, I can't go back in anymore."
He thought to himself that even if he could go, it would be awkward. Who would he cheer for? Cheering for Sakura made sense, but completely ignoring Ino seemed too much. But cheering for both would make him seem indecisive.
"Naruto-kun" Hinata hesitated for a moment, then shyly lowered her head and said softly, "You can use my body again."
"Just like what happened just now, although it makes me feel a little uncomfortable and I feel like my brain is going to break down. But if it wasn't fighting and was just watching, it shouldn't be like that."
"I can't take over your body again, I can only use it once." Naruto was a little amused, "This isn't some body-swapping game."
"Is there such a Ninjutsu? One that can only be used once?" Hinata asked, and there's a hint of regret in her tone.
Naruto was speechless and thought to himself, 'What are you regretting? If we were caught, both of us would be finished.'
"Yes, only once." Naruto said.
"Alright."
Naruto: "…"
'Damn, what hidden trait did I unlock?'
By the time Naruto came to his senses, Hinata had already run off.
He could only shake his head and head towards the exit of Training Ground 44. To do that, he had to cross the Forest of Death alone.
It's doable, but no one usually does it. Most candidates leave together, and individuals generally stay quietly in the central tower somewhere, waiting for the exam to end and for the Jonin to escort them out.
But Naruto was too lazy to wait. Since he wasn't going to watch the matches, there was no point in staying here anymore. Besides, it was still early for all the matches to end, so waiting would only waste time.
He didn't encounter any danger along the way and left the Forest of Death smoothly.
After a quick meal at Ichiraku Ramen, Naruto returned home to wash up, and lay down directly after he was done.
He gained a lot in this Chunin Exam, including the Lightning Release: Lightning Strike and the Wind Release: Blade of Wind Technique. Although the two Ninjutsu were not at the max level, and he still needed practice them to unleash their max power, they are still significant gains.
Getting two A-Rank Ninjutsu from one exam and advancing in his progress with Hinata, overall, Naruto felt he had profited from this exam.
'There are fewer things to do now, and it's unexpectedly quiet.'
With these thoughts, Naruto drifted off to sleep.
Meanwhile, inside the central tower of the Forest of Death.
Facing Gaara's strong offensive, Lee decided to go all out and opened the fifth gate. The two fought hard. The two fought intensely, with Guy recognizing that Lee's body was overtaxed and stepping in to end the match as Lee's Jonin Instructor, preventing Lee from being further harmed.
Lee, who was exhausted from opening the gates, escaped the severe consequences of being banned for more than 70 episodes.
The victory went to a battered Gaara, who, despite his dissatisfaction, didn't dare provoke Guy. After all, the strange man with watermelon-shaped hair in front of him was definitely Lee's teacher, and Lee had nearly bested him. Gaara knew better than to challenge Guy and could only leave with a gloomy look.
Sakura and Ino ended their match in a draw, both collapsing from exhaustion.
The lineup for the Chunin Exams' finals was thus determined: Uchiha Sasuke versus Gaara, Hyuga Neji versus Kankuro, Shikamaru versus Temari, and Inuzuka Kiba versus Aburame Shino.
And before the finals, all participants have one month to prepare.
"Ring! Ring! Ring!"
The urgent sound of the alarm clock rang out as Naruto groggily reached out to shut it off and rolled over to continue sleeping.
After the room fell silent for a few seconds, there was a loud knock on his door.
"Naruto!"
"How long are you going to sleep? You promised to go camping by the river with everyone, and you forgot again!"
Sakura's voice came from outside, accompanied by the impatient knocking.
Naruto groggily opened his eyes, vaguely recalling that he had agreed to a joint camping with Team 10 and Team 7.
All of this was because of the sudden improvement in the relationship between Ino and Sakura, forcing Shikamaru and Choji to agree to the camping trip with these two strong women, dragging Naruto along as well.
"Sakura, is this where Naruto lives?" Ino's voice came from the other side of the door. "You seem very familiar with this place?"
"That's because..." Sakura was about to respond when the door opened from the inside, and Naruto, who was in his pajamas and still half-asleep, glanced at the two girls and yawned, asking suspiciously, "When did you two become so close?"
"None of your business!" Ino made a face at him.
"Naruto, you wouldn't know because you forfeited at the preliminary." Sakura said and hugged Ino beside her. The two energetic girls stood close together, showing their newfound camaraderie.
"We've made up!"
"Yes, we've made up." Ino nodded.
"Oh." Naruto responded ambiguously. After a while, he got himself ready, and the three of them headed out together.
The river was a bit of a distance from the village, situated below a large waterfall. Shikamaru and Choji were already waiting there, wearing large sunhats. Under the scorching sun, the only ones with high spirits were the two girls.
"Hey, Naruto, isn't Sasuke coming?" Shikamaru yawned and asked with sleepy eyes.
Naruto was also very sleepy, so the two lazy Genins gathered together to set up the barbecue grill.
"Sasuke can't come. The Cursed Seal on his body seems to be a bit troublesome, so Kakashi-sensei took him for special training."
"Special training, huh… Asuma-sensei mentioned such thing to me as well."
"Congratulations, Shikamaru," Naruto said without much enthusiasm.
"Yeah, right, what a drag." Shikamaru complained, looking completely exhausted. "Just when I finally had some time off, Ino forced us to go camping."
"Then why didn't you just refuse her?" Naruto asked while working, "And you dragged me into this too."
"I can't help it. Ino usually takes good care of us, so there's no way to refuse her on this." Shikamaru sighed, picked up the fishing rod that he had prepared long ago, and said to Naruto, "I'll go catch some fish."
Naruto turned his head to look at him, then stared at the obviously expensive fishing rod in his hand, "Where did you get your rod?"
"My dad's. He said he used to be great at fishing."
