Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

A small alley.

Seeing that no one was around, Naruto said to Hinata, "Let's stay here."

Standing half a meter away from Naruto, I had never been so close to him before. Shyness and nervousness overwhelmed me, causing my heart to pound and my face to turn bright red.

Hinata, unsure of what to do or say, stammered, "Yes, yes, yes!" upon hearing Naruto's words and seeing him assume a fighting stance.

"Don't be nervous. There are no outsiders here, and we don't necessarily have to compete to see who's better. It's just a normal sparring match," Naruto said with a smile. "If you're ready, you can attack anytime."

Naruto's words greatly eased Hinata's tension, and after a while of self-adjustment, she calmed down considerably.

He took a deep breath and assumed the Gentle Fist stance: "Naruto, Naruto-kun, I'm going to go now. Please give me your pointers."

"Okay, let's go." Naruto was ready.

After a brief silence, Hinata suddenly lunged at Naruto and unleashed a palm strike.

Naruto neither dodged nor evaded, but raised his hand to meet the attack.

Just as their hands were about to collide, Hinata's attack came to an abrupt halt.

"??" Naruto.

"Um, Gentle Fist can damage chakra pathways, so it's best not to get touched," Hinata reminded her softly.

"Uh, thanks for reminding me, but it's normal to get injured during a sparring match," Naruto laughed. "Besides, my physique is quite special, and I recover quickly, so don't worry."

Upon hearing Naruto mention physique, Hinata's face instantly turned bright red, and her pure white eyes darted away, as if she had just remembered something.

She used to be afraid to look Naruto in the eye, and now she doesn't even dare to look at Naruto's body.

The second round of competition began quickly.

Naruto wanted to take a Gentle Fist blow quickly so he could use it to start a conversation, but things didn't go as planned.

Hinata didn't want to hurt Naruto, so they sparred for over twenty minutes without ever making a single physical contact.

Naruto pretends he can't dodge, and Hinata will stop in time.

Naruto deliberately bumps into Hinata, who then panics and pulls her hand away and backs up.

"..." Naruto.

Seeing that Hinata was panting and had used up a lot of chakra, he twitched his lips and chuckled dryly, "Wow, Gentle Fist is really powerful. You can't just brush against it, or you'll either die or get seriously injured. I wish I could learn it too."

"Well, it's not that exaggerated." Hinata smiled shyly, not understanding Naruto's implied meaning.

"I want to learn Gentle Fist, is that okay?" Naruto asked directly.

"Learn Gentle Fist?" Hinata asked in surprise, then said with some difficulty, "It's...maybe...there's no way."

"Can you tell me why? Is it because it can't be told to outsiders, or is it necessary to have the Byakugan?" Naruto asked.

"It's somewhat related to the Byakugan, but not entirely," Hinata whispered, fiddling with her fingers.

"The main problem is chakra. Our clan is limited by our physique and cannot use the Five Elements Release Techniques."

"We can only use attribute-free escape techniques and the secret soft fist technique passed down from generation to generation."

"I don't really understand the reasoning behind this. I only know that our clan cannot use the Five Elements Escape Technique, and outsiders cannot use the Soft Fist."

"Even with a transplanted white eye, it still won't work."

What kind of explanation is this? Naruto looked completely bewildered.

Wait a minute, if he can't learn Soft Fist, will he just get eye rolls?

The system's check-in rules should not allow him to check in for abilities he cannot use.

try it?

"Ding! Sign-in character triggered: Hinata Hyuga. Sign in? Yes? No?"

Yes.

"Congratulations, you have obtained Hamura's chakra."

Chapter 35 Encouragement

After a moment of silence, Naruto, realizing what had happened, widened his eyes to their maximum.

Hinata, caught off guard by Naruto's sudden approach and his grabbing of her hand, was stunned and overwhelmed by the shock. Her head turned red and she fainted.

"Hamura! Otsutsuki Hamura!"

Naruto was dumbfounded.

It seems I got something amazing for signing in.

The concept of Hamura Chakra first appeared in the movie featuring Toneri Otsutsuki.

Naruto thought that Hinata had met Hamura's ancestor first, and was then entrusted with the task of stopping Toneri from destroying the earth, which is how she obtained Hamura's chakra.

Now it seems that's not the case at all; the order needs to be changed.

Hinata herself was possessed by Hamura's chakra, similar to how Indra's chakra possessed Sasuke and Madara, and how Ashura's chakra possessed Naruto and Hashirama.

The fact that Hamura's chakra possessed Hinata came first, and only then was Hinata able to meet Hamura's ancestor and be entrusted with a mission.

"If that's the case, why didn't Hinata, who had Hamura's chakra, achieve a sudden and dramatic increase in strength in the end?" Naruto asked with a strange expression.

It's important to know that Hamura is the younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths, and in terms of seniority, he is higher than Indra and Ashura.

He even joined forces with his brother to participate in the battle against their mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, and ultimately they worked together to seal her away.

Hamura's strength couldn't be weak; he must be at the Six Paths level.

So here's the question: why did Sasuke, who possessed Indra's chakra, and Naruto, who possessed Ashura's chakra, suddenly become Six Paths level in the later stages of the game?

Hinata was dreaming in the Infinite Tsukuyomi from beginning to end, and even more than ten years after getting married and having children, she did not become a Six Paths level powerhouse.

What exactly is the difference?

Even if you don't reach the Six Paths level, shouldn't you at least be at the Super Kage level?

Otherwise, it wouldn't match the strength of Hamura's chakra.

The princess picked up the unconscious Hinata, found a bench nearby, and gently laid her down. Naruto sat down beside her, rubbing his temples and lost in thought.

a long time…

"The difference lies in the way they demonstrate their strength."

"In the story, before becoming Six Paths level, Naruto and Sasuke's individual strength had reached or approached Kage level, and were at their peak, on the verge of collapse."

"Furthermore, according to the Sage of Six Paths, at that time they were already able to sense the Indra chakra and Ashura chakra residing within their bodies."

"In other words, Hinata's only shortcoming is that her basic strength is insufficient, and she cannot sense or activate Hamura's chakra."

"The use of Hamura's chakra in the movie was only to help Naruto counter the Tenseigan's ability to extract chakra from a distance; it did almost no effect on Hinata herself."

"It seems that sensing it is not enough to unleash its full power. I must first possess sufficient strength myself."

Thinking about this, Naruto seemed to be deep in thought.

Therefore, Hinata is the type of person who achieves great things later in life.

The initial start was slow.

In the later stages, while others are limited by the upper limit of their own strength and are stuck at the Kage level or Super Kage level, Hinata is able to reach even greater heights.

Borrowing Hamura's chakra, he climbed to that unattainable peak and achieved the Six Paths level.

"As for me, since it's a reward I got from signing in, I can sense it directly, but I can't shake it." Naruto covered his face, hiding the regret in his eyes.

Seemingly influenced by Hamura's chakra, Ashura's chakra, which lay dormant deep within, was stirred up and became perceptible to Naruto.

While the clarity isn't as good as Hamura Chakra, it's undeniably real.

Unfortunately, the same problem remains: insufficient strength makes it impossible to shake the competition.

However, even though he couldn't use them, these two types of chakra were still affecting his body little by little.

The magnitude is small, and you might not even notice it if you don't pay close attention, but its strength lies in its continuous and inexhaustible flow. I believe that if you persist, the benefits will become apparent.

"Why are my eyes itchy? Is it just my imagination?" Naruto thought to himself, and couldn't help but rub his eyes.

Thinking of Hamura and the Tenseigan, he felt inexplicably excited.

Could it be...

Just then, Hinata let out a soft moan and slowly woke up.

After the initial confusion, she quickly remembered why she had fainted, her fair cheeks flushed again, and she hurriedly used her hands to support herself as she sat up.

Then you see Naruto sitting by the bench.

He stammered and spoke incoherently, wanting to say something but not knowing how or what to say, so he simply stood with his legs together, head down, burying his head in the sand like an ostrich, habitually remaining silent.

"Have you thought about what you want to do in the future? Like, what your dreams or goals are?" Naruto suddenly asked.

Hinata paused, then shook her head: "I...don't know."

"Huh? I don't know? What do you mean?" Naruto asked.

"Um..." Hinata whispered, "I'm clumsy and cowardly. I'm not good at anything. I can't do anything well and I often disappoint Father."

“That’s not true!” Naruto said. “From the first moment I saw you, I knew you were extraordinary. Your future will be incredibly bright.”

"Ah!" Hinata was taken aback. She was so surprised that she forgot to be shy. She looked up, turned her head, and stared at Naruto.

Quickly regaining her senses, she hurriedly lowered her head again, nervously fiddling with her fingers: "But, but, I'm so clumsy..."

“I believe you!” Naruto interrupted.

"No matter what others think, and no matter what you think, I believe in you. You will definitely become an extraordinary person that everyone looks up to and aspires to."

Hinata has an extreme lack of self-confidence, which is very obvious.

She needs encouragement.

It's not like anyone can just offer encouragement.

He must hold a certain place in her heart, preferably a position so high that she can blindly believe in and obey him.

In the entire ninja world, only Naruto is qualified to meet this standard.
