Chapter 25: "Hinata unleashes: Ryuji pushes her over the edge as Hiashi reconsiders his judgment"
"Hinata's expression changed from timid at first, to angry afterward, and finally cold.
Ryuji didn't expect Hinata's reaction to be so big.
[Ding dong! Hinata's preference level has decreased by three! The preference level is now thirty points! Warning! Hinata has murderous intentions towards the host!]
Finally, half of the goal was achieved, and the next step was to force Hinata to take action.
Just when Ryuji was preparing to provoke again, the meridians around Hinata's eyes suddenly swelled.
"Go to hell!"
Hinata threw a punch toward Ryuji, who was completely unprepared, causing him to take a few steps back before regaining his balance.
Ryuji felt ecstatic.
Hinata had finally taken action, and the attack was extremely sharp. Even Ryuji didn't expect Hinata to be so powerful.
But after thinking about it, it became clear.
Hinata has always been a genius; moreover, she has physical abilities like the Lion's Barrage. It's just that Hinata has always been too shy, which has overshadowed her true potential.
However, Ryuji had no immediate plans to respond forcefully.
Ryuji's true purpose was to allow Hinata to be recognized by her father, Hiashi, instead of simply forcing her to act.
So the only way to get Hiashi to recognize Hinata was to improve her strength.
Hinata's attacks fell on Ryuji like raindrops.
If Ryuji wanted to defeat Hinata, he would only need to use the Thousand Years of Death. But if he wanted to improve Hinata's strength, it wouldn't be so easy.
Although Hinata's attacks were fast and fierce at that moment, her hit rate was low.
Although part of it was due to Ryuji's fast pace, the main reason was that the Juken (Gentle Fist) wasn't executed correctly.
Hinata's blows were a few centimeters less accurate than the standard each time she attacked.
If it were normal training, he wouldn't have noticed any problems, but now it was a real fight. That's a big difference.
The Juken has been passed down from generation to generation in the Hyuga family and has undergone countless improvements until it reached its current state.
After so many improvements, the Juken has become an almost perfect technique.
If you follow the standards, you can quickly push the enemy into a desperate situation.
But now, Hinata's Gentle Fist has many deviations, turning the original desperate situation into an opportunity to escape.
After absorbing Hinata's Gentle Fist, Ryuji became very familiar with Hinata's habits and attack methods.
In some aspects, he even knew Hinata better than she did herself.
Up!
Down!
Slow!
...
"During Ryuji's attacks, Hinata's attack method forcibly returned to normal.
Hinata couldn't help but frown.
Each attack was blocked by Ryuji on the back of his hand. He could have stopped her, but Ryuji didn't do it at all.
Moreover, Hinata had the illusion that, after her attack was interrupted, the angle of each blow and palm became softer and the power of the attack increased slightly.
"Is Ryuji correcting my Gentle Fist?"
Hinata thought about this and shook her head quickly.
You have to know that this guy, Ryuji, was conspiring against her a moment ago, how could he be helping her?
Hinata's attack became even fiercer for a moment. The attack was corrected according to what Ryuji had done, which made Ryuji, who was originally relaxed, unable to help but frown.
"Bastard, I'll arrest you and take you to Kurenai-sensei's house today!"
"Jerk! I must kill that guy!" Hiashi ran quickly with murderous intentions.
And behind him, a green figure followed.
"Kakashi, stop Hiashi-sama!" Guy shouted anxiously.
Kakashi had no intention of moving, but he stayed there and chuckled, and even made an inviting gesture with one hand.
"Master Hiashi, if you still want to kill Ryuji, I won't stop you."
"Kakashi, what are you talking about?" Halfway through his words, Guy trembled, with a solemn expression on his face: "That kid is already... No, even so, I can't let him die!"
Guy said and ran towards Ryuji.
But before he could take two steps, Hiashi stopped in front of him.
"Master Hiashi, I'm very sorry for what Ryuji did today, but Ryuji is the future of Konoha's Taijutsu, and I can't let him die!"
While Guy was speaking, his skin turned red again and the chakra in his body continued to increase.
"Guy, you've already used the Eight Gates once. Using it again will cause too much damage to your body," Hiashi said calmly.
"Even if I die, I can't let Ryuji die!"
Hiashi shook his head helplessly; his face no longer had the murderous look from before, but an expression of surprise.
"You have to wait even if you want to die. This kid seems interesting."
Guy reacted and found that in Hiashi's eyes, there was no longer any murderous intent, but rather they were full of appreciation.
For a moment, Guy was unable to react.
Could it be that Hiashi is ready to change his mind?
Thinking about this, Guy covered his eyes with his hands, then slowly turned around and looked through his fingers.
He saw Ryuji and Hinata exchanging blows constantly.
Although Guy had no connection with Hinata, every movement that Ryuji made was to correct Hinata's movements.
Guy's heart trembled.
Guy had hoped to improve his strength, but teaching his opponent through battle exceeded his expectations.
Teaching doesn't mean you can do it well just because you know how.
That's why there are excellent teachers and ordinary teachers. In other words, Ryuji has a natural talent for teaching!
Guy's heart was pounding rapidly. Initially, he simply thought that Ryuji's taijutsu skills would eventually become a trend in Konoha.
But Guy realized he was wrong, very wrong! With Ryuji's ability to teach others now, he could train new taijutsu stars in the future.
By then, Konoha would no longer be weak in taijutsu, but a true powerhouse!
For a moment, Guy couldn't hold back his tears. His body trembled uncontrollably. Kneeling before Hiashi, he looked at him with determination. "No matter what Ryuji has done wrong, please spare his life! If you're angry, take my life instead!"
Hiashi regarded Guy indifferently. "If Ryuji causes no further trouble, I'm willing to accept him," he said coldly, "but on one condition: he must marry someone from our Hyuga clan."
[Ding dong! The guy's preference has increased by three points! The preference level is now 91 points! The record is available!]
[Ding dong! Hiashi's preference has increased by thirty points! The preference level is now fifty-nine points! The record is available!]
