"Crescent Moon Breathing?" Naruto asked, narrowing his eyes in confusion.
"Yes, centered around the three phases of the new moon. Hinata, you should be familiar with acupoints, right?" Shinji turned to look at Hinata and asked.
"Yes, sensei." Hinata nodded in response.
"Good, then come over and help Naruto identify the acupoints." Shinji nodded and made the arrangement.
Although she knew it was for teaching, Hinata still blushed as she walked over to Naruto's side.
Hinata nodded, and her fingers gathered Chakra. "Inhaling is 'New Moon Accumulation.' The Chakra travels from the lungs down to the Bubbling Spring acupoint on the soles of the feet, forming a cycle."
"Byakugan, activate!"
Shinji turned to look at Naruto and said, "Naruto, follow Hinata's guidance to circulate your Chakra."
"Yes, sensei."
Naruto nodded quickly and began to circulate his Chakra step by step under Hinata's guidance.
"Follow the inhale. Remember to prioritize strengthening the Achilles tendons and the core muscles of the waist and abdomen. This is key to generating power."
"Holding your breath is 'Full Moon Condensation.' Guide the Chakra to the Chest Centre acupoint to compress high-density Chakra."
"Exhaling is the final step, 'Waning Moon Disintegration.' You need to exhale through your mouth and release the Chakra shockwave by using this Chakra when striking."
"Ha!"
As soon as Shinji finished speaking, Naruto immediately let out a shout, and his fist struck the straw mat.
After more than ten consecutive punches, only the outermost layer of the straw mat was slightly frayed. After all, it was wet. If it were dry, it probably would have broken through a few layers just now.
"Huh? I clearly circulated it according to Hinata's guidance, so why doesn't it have the same power as your strike, sensei?" Naruto said, scratching the back of his head in confusion.
"Naruto-kun, you didn't control it well during the breath-holding phase, causing some Chakra to dissipate."
Although Hinata only listened once, with the convenience of her Byakugan, she could clearly see where Naruto went wrong in each step.
"Huh! Is that so?!" Naruto looked surprised.
He really liked this direct guidance method. It was simple and easy to learn, but who knew controlling it would be so difficult.
Shinji gave Naruto a tap on the forehead with his fingers, annoyed. "Otherwise, why would I prepare these for you to practice? Only by adjusting step by step on your own can you truly remember it."
"Continue. Now that you know how to perform the breathing technique, try to punch through these straw mats."
"No problem, sensei." Naruto responded cheerfully and began to practice.
"Hinata, do you need me to explain it again?" Shinji then looked at Hinata and asked.
"No, sensei, I've already remembered it." Hinata replied, shaking her head.
"Okay, then you start practicing too." Shinji nodded.
—
Perhaps it was Naruto and Hinata's lead or something else but the others continuously completed their required number of strikes in the following days.
And Hinata also experienced being an assistant, even Shinji had to marvel at the practicality of the Byakugan.
If Hinata couldn't see through the acupoints, then for 'Crescent Moon Breathing,' he could only let these disciples figure it out step by step.
Although it was the same teaching, practicing in this way was fast.
Moreover, Hinata was also the first among them to break through the straw mat.
Yes, while guiding Ino and the others to familiarize themselves, she also successfully learned it first.
'If only Hinata were my disciple now, maybe I could trigger the reward for a disciple surpassing the teacher.' Shinji looked at Hinata, who was practicing, and thought with some melancholy.
However, there was nothing he could do, as the system's slots were full.
Shinji straightened up and walked over to Hinata's side, saying, "Hinata, strike with full force according to your rhythm, don't use your Byakugan."
Even without the reward, he still had to teach seriously.
"Yes."
Hinata didn't hesitate and immediately adjusted her breathing to circulate Chakra.
Shinji nodded in satisfaction. Not bad, Hinata's Taijutsu talent was definitely not poor. In such a short time, she had actually achieved muscle resonance.
A translucent azure blue Chakra membrane appeared on Hinata's body, and blue light trails remained with every movement.
"Hinata, attack me." Shinji pointed to himself and said.
"Yes."
At this moment, Hinata exuded a different aura than before and quickly attacked Shinji.
"Center Line Offense and Defense! All moves must strike the opponent's vital points with the shortest path!" Shinji blocked Hinata's attacks while telling her the key points.
"You must achieve explosive damage within an extremely short distance!"
Just as Hinata was about to reach him, Shinji swapped out with a wooden dummy using Substitution Jutsu.
Bang—
The moment the wooden dummy was struck by Hinata, it immediately shattered into pieces. It wasn't like Chakra Enhnaced strength that overwhelmed with power. Instead, it was the effect of precise Chakra penetration.
"Use the Chakra membrane around your body to sense the flow of my Chakra and predict my movements."
After intentionally letting Hinata touch his arm, Hinata's eyes were filled with shock.
"This circulation route! Next is an elbow strike combined with a knee kick!"
Thud—Thud—
Hinata quickly blocked Shinji's attacks.
"Good! Hinata, watch closely, this is Open Hand Disarmament!"
Shinji nodded in approval, then extended his hand and used the Chakra membrane to deflect Hinata's movement.
Hinata, who was still in a daze, was spun and forced to the side. After several steps, she finally buffered and stopped, panting heavily.
"Hinata! You were so cool!" Naruto didn't shout loudly until this moment.
Sasuke and the others, who were training, all looked at Hinata with shocked expressions.
They had also been trained in Taijutsu by Shinji. Well, actually, they were passively beaten.
Even though Shinji was intentionally guiding them, being able to fight back and forth with the technique that she had just learned was quite impactful.
Hinata then snapped out of it because of Naruto's shout and stopped using the breathing technique.
She bowed to Shinji and said, "Thank you, Shinji-sensei."
As a member of the Hyuga clan, Hinata naturally knew how powerful this Taijutsu was.
No, it should be said that the technique of combining the breathing method with the application of Chakra was exceptional.
As long as she persevered in her training, she could definitely become achieve great things.
Didn't the Hyuga clan become one of Konoha's great clans by relying on the Byakugan and the Eight Trigrams Palms?
"Sensei, please rest assured, I will definitely not reveal this breathing method to the clan." Hinata made a promise to Shinji.
Shinji waved his hand, indicating that it wasn't necessary, and said with a smile, "I taught you because I trust you."
It wasn't that Shinji was stingy, but there were too many old stubborn people in the Hyuga clan.
"Thank you, sensei." Hinata thanked him again.
"Hinata, you were so cool just now! I like it!"
Naruto walked over and put his arm around Hinata's shoulder.
She was really too cool!
