In fact, Shinji Hyuga had already mastered two types of chakra nature transformation.
One was the Wind-nature transformation of chakra.
The second was a unique chakra developed by combining the Hyuga clan's innate bloodline limit,the Byakugan, with their proud ninjutsu, the Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palms.
This chakra didn't have a specific name and seemed something commonplace and unremarkable to the Hyuga clan.
Shinji Hyuganamed it [Byakugan Chakra].
After careful comparative research, Shinji Hyuga unexpectedly discovered that this chakra possessed characteristics completely incomprehensible to ordinary ninjas.
Here,a common misconception needs clarification: the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist cannot be simply understood as a martial art or taijutsu similar to Tai Chi with pressure point effects.
Even describing it as a ninja taijutsu(body technique) is somewhat inaccurate.
More precisely,it is a bloodline limit secret technique developed based on the bloodline.
After awakening the Byakugan, members of the Hyuga clan can see the chakra pathway system throughout their bodies. After practicing their ancestral Gentle Fist, they can release this Byakugan Chakra, which has fluid properties, from any part of their body.
This chakra,naturally generated through Gentle Fist practice,
has an extremely abnormal effect—
Any element transformed through chakra,any substance containing chakra, can be invaded and destroyed by Gentle Fist chakra.
Kaguya's three punches shattered Susano'o;Isshiki Ōtsutsuki kicked the giant puppet pilot out of the cockpit; Hyūga Neji used spider silk transformed from chakra to defeat Kidōmaru.
Essentially,they are all manifestations of the effects of this special chakra.
Of course, the effectiveness of this ability varies greatly from person to person. Shinji Hyuga speculated that the potency is related to chakra amount, chakra control, and chakra quality.
At least based onShinji Hyuga's own testing, his Byakugan Chakra couldn't even be used for external protection; striking a Susano'o several meters tall would mostly only create a small splash.
Currently,this ability was limited to assisting him in breaking down the chakra extracted from his body to safely train in unstable ninjutsu.
From this perspective,
the Hyuga clan's lineage was inferior to that of the Uchiha clan.
After understanding this characteristic of generating chakra based on the Byakugan,Shinji Hyuga comprehended what the Eighty Gods Vacuum Strike was all about.
That's right,it's the technique of the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm—eighty consecutive strikes!
The principle behind Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's Eighty Gods Vacuum Strike is no different from the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm performed by ordinary Hyuga clan ninjas.
Our ancestors truly held nothing back;the strongest taijutsu from Shippūden was a manual every Hyuga clan member possessed.
It's just a pity these unfortunate descendants were too weak.
In reality,
everything passed down from the ancestors,good or bad, was inherited—the clan system, the Gentle Fist, the prohibition against learning ninjutsu, etc. Regardless of quality, anything from the ancestors was considered good. Could the ancestors possibly harm us?
Because the Ōtsutsuki clan didn't have the concept of jutsu,the traditional Hyuga clan, despite being top-tier in chakra manipulation, simply didn't learn ninjutsu. They thought, "What trash ninjutsu? Our ancestors never used it!"
Our ancestors were the best.
Practicing all those fancy techniques was useless;later, when facing the Ōtsutsuki, they would still need to rely on taijutsu and sage techniques. So, the Hyuga clan's path wasn't actually wrong, and their ancestors didn't betray them.
Even something as flashy as Susano'o was no match for the Ōtsutsuki clan—just a punch or a kick away.
It's a pity that throughout the entireNaruto series, the Hyuga clan never produced anyone with chakra levels like Naruto, let alone Kisame, the Raikage, or Gaara.
Shinji Hyuga couldn't help but feel regret.
But he quickly regained his focus and concentrated on the technique in his hands.
He had no right to laugh at others;at least Hyūga Hiashi, in his prime, could hold his own against one of the Ten-Tails' tails.
Despite his mediocre talent,Shinji Hyuga had no choice but to abandon the Hyuga clan's traditions and force himself onto a path with no clear future.
7:00 AM.
The morning sunlight cast a long shadow at the gates of Konoha.
Having mastered the basics of Wind Release:Vacuum Blade and completed his preparations, Shinji Hyuga, now fully equipped, arrived here.
During the war, Konoha Village had strict regulations governing standby ninjas within the village; those who left without proper cause were classified as rogue ninjas.
AlthoughShinji Hyuga had received verbal orders from Root the previous night,
this transfer order was neither documented nor officially recognized,and apart from Shinji Hyuga himself, probably no one else knew about it—likely no more than a handful.
At this time,
asShinji Hyuga walked to the registration desk in front of Konoha's gate, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
The guards at Konoha's gates weren't the future Konoha gatekeepers;they were two Chunin from the Konoha Barrier Team on shift duty. Seeing Shinji Hyuga approach, one immediately asked:
"Name?"
"Shinji Hyuga."
"You wish to leave the village?"
"Yes."
"Huh?Where is your mission document?"
Shinji Hyuga's lips twitched slightly. He could only pull out the main family transfer order that Hyuga Iroha had delivered that morning from the storage pouch at his side.
The gatekeeping Chunin snatched the scroll with a swift motion and unfurled it...
"Hmm?This timing isn't right. Are you...?"
Sure enough,the departure time marked on the scroll was visible.
Then,the gatekeeping Chunin showed a look of confusion.
Before he could question further, another Chunin with spiky hair suddenly turned and spoke:
"The Anbu notified us this morning that the times for several missions were changed after discussions at the Hokage Building.Did you forget?"
"Oh,right." The gatekeeping Chunin suddenly remembered, gave Shinji Hyuga an apologetic smile, went back inside to retrieve a document for comparison.
"Shinji Hyuga,heading to Kusabami Coast to provide medical ninja support for the East Coast front. Yes, that's correct."
The gatekeeping Chunin quickly stamped Shinji Hyuga's transfer order, shook his head, and returned the scroll to him.
"Even such a young medical ninja has to go to the battlefield..."
"Have a safe journey."
"Thank you."
Shinji Hyuga nodded calmly and stepped out of Konoha Village.
Following the straight road outside the village,his figure gradually shrank until it disappeared at the horizon.
Soon,
behind him,a group of ninjas quickly caught up.
Leading the group was a Jonin from the Hyuga clan's branch family,followed by Hyuga Tetsu, a ninja from the Aburame clan, and an Inuzuka clan ninja with a dog.
"Hmm, that figure looks familiar?"
Hyuga Tetsu watched the solitary,resolute figure gradually disappearing into the horizon, then looked up in confusion.
Beside him,his teammate glanced over: "Really? You must be mistaken."
However,Hyuga Tetsu still felt somewhat uneasy.
"Could it beShinji Hyuga?!"
Subconsciously, he was about to activate his Byakugan to investigate.
However,
a burly,tall figure flashed in, reached out, and pressed his temple, speaking with a serious expression:
"Tetsu,don't activate the Byakugan in such a sensitive place."
"The head of the main family will be here soon!"
