Naruto: Wood-Wood Fruit

"Really?"

In the calm forest, Hinata stared blankly at Kiyoshi.

His recent teachings had left her utterly shocked.

It was as if a sudden enlightenment had pierced through the clouds of confusion, instilling her with newfound confidence.

"Of course! So, Hinata, you need to work hard and never give up." Kiyoshi said, gently ruffling Hinata's hair. 

He gazed into her pure white eyes and continued with a smile, "Remember, you must believe in yourself at all times. Steadfastness is a form of strength."

"Steadfastness…. is a form of strength?"

Hinata murmured.

Her bright white eyes lit up.

Before her, Kiyoshi seemed to be bathed in endless light.

Her cheeks flushed bright red with excitement as she nodded vigorously, "Kiyoshi-nii, I will remember that."

"Thank you, Kiyoshi-nii." 

She stood up, her face still warm.

The typically timid and shy Hinata bowed deeply to Kiyoshi with utmost seriousness.

Looking at his face, she couldn't help but blush, feeling heat rising in her cheeks.

Instinctively, she clenched her small fists, her watery eyes revealing a determined glimmer as she softly said, "Thank you so much. I won't be lost anymore."

Though her voice was quiet, it was filled with determination.

This showed that she had shed her feelings of inferiority and regained her confidence.

"Yes, I believe in you. After all, Hinata will always be a beautiful, gentle, pure-hearted girl with a strong will." Kiyoshi nodded with a smile.

"Th-that's not true." 

Hearing Kiyoshi's praise, Hinata's heart raced, her face turning crimson, almost steaming.

It felt like she might faint at any moment.

"If it's convenient, could you demonstrate the Gentle Fist technique?" 

Seeing her reaction, Kiyoshi decided not to tease her any longer and smiled, saying, "I'd like to see where you might be lacking, and perhaps I can offer some guidance."

If he could help Neji, he certainly wouldn't hold back when it came to Hinata.

The Senju clan, the Hyuga clan, the Uchiha clan, the Uzumaki clan.

These clans all had intricate ties to the otherworldly Otsutsuki.

They could be considered branches of the Otsutsuki lineage.

In this cruel world, it must be said that those with the Otsutsuki bloodline have a different potential from those without.

While their lower limits may not differ much, the upper limits are entirely different.

That is the harsh reality.

"Commoners" like Kakashi, Minato, and Hiruzen, despite their brilliance in youth, eventually reach a ceiling they cannot surpass.

Throughout their lives, they may never break free from the shackles of their bloodlines.

It is an unfathomable chasm.

Once upon a time, Obito was undoubtedly at the bottom of the ladder.

But once he awakened the Sharingan, his strength soared to new heights.

Especially after awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan and transplanting the First Hokage's cells, he could rely solely on his elusive Kamui to leave others at a loss.

Even someone as strong as the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was unable to subdue Obito in a short time, only managing to gain the upper hand because of Obito's carelessness.

If both his eyes were gathered, the power he could unleash would be unimaginable.

Even if Kakashi hadn't succumbed to despair, he, the genius who once made Obito look up to him, would still fall far behind Obito, who had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan and possessed dual Kamui.

That is the advantage of bloodlines.

It allows one to surpass ninety-nine percent of sweat and toil.

With just one percent of effort, one can effortlessly surpass those without bloodlines.

Not to mention, as a descendant of the Hyuga clan, and with her extremely pure Byakugan, Hinata may appear to lack talent.

In terms of chakra quantity, chakra affinity, and chakra control, her performance is all rather ordinary.

By the standards of those prestigious clans' heirs, she would undoubtedly be at the bottom.

But if Kiyoshi were willing, he could completely turn her fate upside down.

Her future is far beyond what non-Otsutsuki bloodline powers like Kakashi or the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, could ever imagine.

"Ah…? Okay." 

Hinata was taken aback but didn't refuse.

She felt a mix of nervousness and excitement.

She began to practice the Gentle Fist of the Hyuga clan.

Though her movements were somewhat elegant, her flexibility was lacking, and there was no hint of killing intent.

After finishing a set, she was slightly out of breath.

Standing straight like a good girl, she looked up at Kiyoshi, her face still flushed, and shyly asked, "Was it really that bad?"

"Ahem, while there are areas for improvement, don't lose heart. We can work on this gradually." 

Kiyoshi smiled and said, "Next, I will use the Spirit Transformation Jutsu to control your body and demonstrate the Gentle Fist for you. Please don't resist."

"This way, you can remember and comprehend it more deeply, and it will make learning much easier." 

"Spirit Transformation Jutsu?" 

Hinata's eyes widened in surprise.

She couldn't help but feel puzzled and curious, looking at Kiyoshi sitting under the tree, completely unaware of what this ninjutsu was.

Controlling her body? Is such a thing really possible?

But the next moment, she was left in shock.

She felt a blur before her eyes, and the scene shifted.

Kiyoshi pulled her into a strange spiritual world.

She looked around in bewilderment, gazing in disbelief at the figure before her. "Where is this.?"

"This is your spiritual world, relax." 

Kiyoshi gently stroked her small head and smiled. 

"Next, I will control your body to perform the Gentle Fist technique you just demonstrated. 

Remember, don't resist, and you must wholeheartedly feel, experience, and discover any subtle changes."

As he spoke—

Before Hinata could ask any further questions, he had already begun to take control of her body.

He started to demonstrate the Gentle Fist that Hinata had just shown.

His movements were swift.

Like a startled swan, agile as a soaring dragon.

He kept delivering strikes.

"Swish… swish…."

Phantom images danced around him, blending softness with strength.

Despite having the same body and the same techniques, the differences between the two were like heaven and earth, completely incomparable.

His movements flowed like water, incredibly smooth.

Hinata, within her spiritual world, couldn't help but feel an overwhelming shock, unable to believe what she was witnessing.

"Next comes the main event, so make sure to pay close attention." 

Standing tall, Kiyoshi manipulated Hinata's body and smiled.

He assumed a stance that Hinata was familiar with but also found profoundly shocking.

"That is."

"Gentle Fist Art: Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms."

Swift as the wind, rapid as thunder.

In the midst of motion, the momentum surged like a great wave, relentless and powerful.

"Boom! Boom!" 

The massive trees in front of them were ruthlessly shattered one after another.

Hinata could only gape in awe, her mouth agape, unable to close it for a long time.
