Chapter 220: The Legend of the Eyes is Truly Worthy of its Name
"All this time, you've been practicing taijutsu with me while wearing weights?" Ino asked.
Hinata looked completely bewildered. Weights? What weights?
"You know, these two things that feel like watermelons. You really didn't feel they were heavy? Before I... but I seriously didn't expect them to be this heavy! Hinata, you've worked so hard! That constant forward lean must really affect your Eight Trigrams Palm, right? It must be because of this that you haven't been able to grasp Rotation yet. Look, your movements are completely distorted."
Ino pretended to demonstrate, even striking two of the Eight Trigrams Palm opening stances.
Hinata was utterly mortified. In the mental world, she was still steaming all over. Her friend was good in every other way, but sometimes she just had no filter! How was she supposed to respond to that? I didn't want this either!
Ino still felt a bit uncomfortable with the physical 'weights.' Hinata was short and her attire was very conservative – long sleeves and long pants. This was a significant adjustment for Ino, who was used to shorts and crop tops, so she couldn't help but move her limbs a bit.
Once she had roughly grasped the body's balance, she concentrated chakra into her eyes.
Ino felt a small portion of the Yin Release chakra that constituted her spiritual form automatically decompose at that moment. The decomposed substance then flowed into Hinata's eyes, circulating through a unique structure within the eyes similar to chakra pathways, and formed a new energy stored in the eyes. This must be Doujutsu Power.
If Hinata's original Doujutsu Power was 1, then the power stored in these Byakugan now was 5.
Hinata was about to explain how to activate the Byakugan's abilities, but unexpectedly, Ino instantly activated them herself.
Ino thought for a moment, then returned control of the body to Hinata, before taking it over repeatedly two more times.
Hinata: "..."
"It's fine, I discovered a little secret about Doujutsu Power. I have to say, your bloodline limit is quite interesting..."
Hinata didn't find it interesting at all.
Ino realized that after she took control of the body again, her own Yin Release didn't react. Was the method of decomposition and Doujutsu power formation only possible once per person? Did she have to rely on her own training after this?
It seemed the Byakugan held just as many secrets as the Sharingan.
She stopped studying the Byakugan directly and instead used it as a tool to observe the surroundings.
"Amazing! Wow, the whole world feels completely different!" Ino finally experienced the true power of the 'legend of the eyes.' No wonder the Otsutsuki called ninjas 'monkeys' or 'primitives.' Their perspectives truly were vastly different.
"I see that Snow Ninja. Her armor is quite interesting. It seems to have some sort of energy shield. This thing can probably defend against my Spirilization Jutsu and Genjutsu."
Actually, if Ino forced her way through, the armor wouldn't stop her, but she didn't want to expend spiritual energy. That energy, which originated from the soul, was too slow to recover.
Ino didn't know the Eight Trigrams Palm – she had no idea about the techniques, breathing methods, or force application – but the value of the Byakugan far surpassed the Hyuga clan's martial arts.
Fubuki Kakuyoku had just activated her Chakra Armor, gathering chakra and preparing to use Ice Prison Jutsu to trap the clumsy-looking Leaf ninja nearby. Suddenly, her vision blurred, and the next moment she saw the opponent charge in front of her like a phantom, two fingers hooked like claws, aimed directly at her eyes.
You little brat still want to fight me?
"Ice Style: Swallow Wind!"
She had just made two hand seals when Ino abruptly grabbed her wrist, pulled it to the side, interrupting her hand seals, then executed a high kick, powerfully striking the female ninja's jaw.
Ino used the technique of Tsunade's Heavenly Leg of Pain in that kick. The female ninja saw stars, and five or six blood-stained teeth flew out.
Her body jolted in mid-air. She used force in her back, where a mechanical device on her Chakra Armor activated two mechanical wings that quickly unfolded. She attempted to fly into the sky to gain the initiative in the battle.
"You piece of trash, you deserve to die..."
Before she finished speaking, Ino grabbed her ankle again. Her hand was like a pair of pliers, directly crushing the female ninja's ankle.
"Too slow! Every single movement you make is under the surveillance of these eyes. I have to say, your luck is bad, and your taijutsu is also bad."
Ino barely moved from her spot. She slammed her opponent onto the ground, pressed her knee into her lower abdomen, picked up a pestle nearby that looked like it was used by civilians to grind herbs, raised it high with both arms, big end down, and pounded it down onto the female ninja's face!
The female ninja was smashed until her face was covered in blood, her nose was crooked, and one eyeball was almost squeezed out. Ino pounded her like this three or four times continuously.
The female ninja's taijutsu was exceptionally poor. She pinned her hopes on her Chakra Armor, increasing its output to try and defeat the Leaf ninja who was making her look foolish through brute force.
"Huh? That's an interesting little device," Ino remarked with curiosity. She had heard Kakashi mention this Chakra Armor before, but Kakashi was young back then and only focused on missions, not paying much attention to things unrelated to them. He only knew it was an industrial product from the Land of Snow that combined technology and ninjutsu.
The moment the female ninja activated her Chakra Armor, Ino saw through the Byakugan that the armor was stimulating several key acupuncture points on her body. The method was similar to the Spirilization stimulation technique she was preparing to use on Hinata, except the armor stimulated the surface, while the Spirilization Jutsu stimulated the actual chakra pathways.
The female ninja's Chakra Armor primarily stimulated major acupuncture points along her spine, granting her temporary physical energy and enhancing her own chakra.
With just a quick look, Ino, being a medical ninja after all, roughly understood the device's principle. While it sounded simple, the actual execution was quite ingenious.
Unlike the Eight Inner Gates Formation, which opens restrictions on the body sequentially, this device continuously stimulated the female ninja's spine, where the corresponding acupuncture points were related to the Gate of Closing in the Eight Gates.
Using scientific equipment, it had achieved a state nearly equivalent to opening the first gate. The Chakra Armor was even more valuable than Ino had anticipated.
Ino grabbed the female ninja's wrists and forcefully bent them in the opposite direction.
Her wrist bones instantly snapped. The broken wrist bones pierced through the skin, and twitching, contracting blood vessels could be seen from the fracture site.
One second the female ninja was still cursing, the next she felt immense pain in both hands. This physical tearing, connecting directly to her heart (as per the idiom), caused her to directly pass out from the pain.
"Ino, you're amazing!" Hinata knew her friend loved to be praised a bit. Now that the enemy was easily defeated, she took up the task of offering some flattery.
Ino jumped in place a couple of times, pointedly saying, "I'm still not quite used to this body. Otherwise, with these eyes of yours, I could have defeated this guy in three moves. This person must be crazy, insisting on using ninjutsu at close range like that. Don't you think she's stupid?"
Hinata replied in a perfunctory tone, "Yes, yes, you're the most amazing!"
Ino nodded. "Your words aren't sincere enough. They need to be full of passion. But I do think I'm quite amazing."
