Hinata stood under the tree, made a seal with her hands, mobilized the chakra in her body, and gathered it on the soles of her feet as Izayoi said.
Then, she raised her right foot and stepped on the tree trunk.
Then Hinata felt that the soles of her feet were like glue, sticking to the bark tightly.
Feeling this, Hinata felt a little relieved, and then raised her left foot and stepped on it.
Just like Izayoi just now, Hinata's body was horizontal in the air.
Holding her breath, Hinata took the third step.
"Ah..."
The next second, Hinata's expression changed and she cried out in surprise.
Her feet, which were originally stuck to the bark, suddenly fell off, and the whole person was about to fall to the ground.
At this moment, two arms caught Hinata and straightened her body.
Izayoi chuckled and said, "Don't be afraid, I told you, I will catch you."
"Izayoi-kun, I'm sorry..."
Hinata said with her head down, looking like she disappointed you.
"Why are you apologizing to me?"
Izayoi reached out and patted Hinata's shoulder again, encouraging her: "It's normal to fail. You can suck your feet in for the first time, which is already very impressive. When I was practicing, I tried more than ten times before I succeeded."
This is a lie!
Izayoi succeeded in one try and walked up many steps.
Whether it is Uzumaki Naruto or Uchiha Sasuke, there is no chakra control in their talent entries.
However, Izayoi and Hinata's chakra control has reached the blue level.
With this level of talent, let alone climbing trees and treading water, even medical ninjutsu and perception techniques, as well as sealing techniques and barrier techniques, the difficulty of practicing is easier than those who do not have chakra control talents.
Gentle fists inject chakra into the human body, which is a kind of chakra control.
As long as Hinata has enough chakra and someone is guiding her, she should be able to learn to climb trees soon.
"Keep going, I believe you will be able to climb to the top of the tree soon."
"Yeah."
Hinata, who was encouraged, suddenly gained confidence.
She formed seals with both hands again, gathered chakra at the soles of her feet, and then stepped on the tree trunk, and her body soon lay horizontally in the air again.
Perhaps it was the sense of security given by Izayoi that Hinata did not hold her breath this time, but took the third step very naturally.
The situation that the chakra of the other foot could not be controlled after taking the third step before, and lost balance, causing the chakra of both feet to disappear, did not happen.
Hinata controlled the chakra of both feet very well, and the soles of her shoes stuck tightly to the tree trunk.
The fourth step, the fifth step, the sixth step...
until the eighth step was completed and the ninth step was taken, Hinata's rhythm was disrupted, the chakra of both feet lost balance again, and her body fell down.
The amazing thing is that Hinata was not afraid at all, and did not scream.
There was even a trace of expectation in her heart.
Sure enough...
the body did not fall on the hard ground, but fell into a warm embrace.
Izayoi held Hinata with both hands, kept the princess hug posture, looked down at Hinata, and praised her generously: "Amazing, Hinata, you can reach that height in just the second time, you are really a genius."
"Hehe..."
Hinata didn't feel shy, but laughed happily.
She received more compliments today than in the past few years combined.
Is this the feeling of being recognized?
Hinata, whose personality has not yet become as lacking in confidence and easy to give up as in the original work, suddenly became more motivated and confident.
Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she took the initiative to say, "Shizayo-kun, put me down, I want to try again."
"Okay."
Shizayo saw all the changes in Hinata.
Seeing the girl become confident, Shizayo was also happy for her.
A rich lady, she became so cowardly and inferior in the original book, which shows what kind of high-pressure life she grew up in.
Since she came to this world and chose to intercept Uzumaki Naruto and Otsutsuki Toneri, Shizayo must change this girl.
Even if she didn't become the bad big sister in the limited Tsukuyomi, she shouldn't completely waste the genes of the Otsutsuki clan like in the original book.
Start with changing her personality. Shizayo wants to make her the way she wants!
Hinata has a good talent. After all, among the four girls of the Twelve Little Strongmen, she is the only one who comes from a rich family and has the Byakugan, one of the three major eye techniques.
What she lacks is self-confidence.
When she regains her confidence, she will shine brightly.
Climbing trees and treading water do not require much chakra, but only the ability to control.
This control ability can be achieved through hard work or talent.
In the original novel, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke are the former, while Haruno Sakura is the latter.
And Izayoi and Hinata are also the latter. Hinata,
who could take seven or eight steps the second time, did not regress the third time, but made progress again, took more than ten steps, and then fell again.
Izayoi still caught her steadily.
By the fourth time, Hinata did not fall again, and she successfully climbed to the top of the tree.
"Izayoi-kun, I succeeded." Hinata,
standing on the top of the tree, did not look at the surrounding environment from a high place, but shared her joy with Izayoi below as soon as possible.
"Awesome, you can climb to the top of the tree for the fourth time, Hinata, you are much better than me."
Izayoi gave a thumbs up and praised generously.
"Hehe..."
Hinata, who was praised, laughed happily again.
They were both receiving guidance, but Izayoi gave her a completely different feeling from her father.
Hinata would only feel nervous when receiving her father's soft fist teaching at home. Even if she completed the homework assigned by Hinata Hiashi, she would not get a compliment.
Sometimes she would even be criticized because she did not do it perfectly as her cousin did.
On the other hand, here with Izayoi, she got the praise she had always wanted.
The relaxation that was different from the nervousness, the joy that was different from the trepidation, seemed to cleanse Hinata's heart and make her like practicing.
Coming down from the treetop as if walking on flat ground, Hinata looked at Izayoi expectantly and said, "Izayoi-kun, is treading water the same as climbing a tree?"
"Yes, but it's more difficult."
Izayoi nodded and smiled, "To climb a tree, you just need to hold on to the trunk, but water is flowing. If you want to hold on to the surface of the water, your control ability must be increased several times."
"I won't teach you now, but you can go home and try it in a bathtub or a water tank. When your chakra volume is a little more, I will teach you the real treading water and shadow clone technique."
"Hmm..." Hinata nodded repeatedly.
Seeing Hinata so well-behaved, Izayoi finally revealed his true colors and smiled, "Next, let me teach you the physical duel! By the way, let me experience the acupoint pressing of your Hyuga clan."
"Okay."
The simple Hinata naturally didn't know the real purpose of Izayoi.
She had fought with her cousin many times at home, so she nodded obediently. She didn't think there was anything wrong with practicing physical skills that were not taught in school.
