"Incorporating the nature transformation of Lightning Release into Gentle Fist?" Hiashi Hyuga leaned in with a pensive expression, his heart, however, brimming with joy. The Gentle Fist of his clan had remained unchanged for so many years, and he never expected his daughter to innovate it. Indeed, it was his own girl who was the impressive one.

"Uncle Hiashi, if you're happy you can just laugh it out, why put on such a rippling facade?" Sakura teased, knowing all too well that Hyuga Hiashi was the type whose actions didn't match his heart. He would never speak his mind, yet inside he was a complete daughter-con.

"Ahem..." Hiashi coughed awkwardly, struggling to maintain his composure. He was indeed overjoyed, but as the head of the Hyuga household, how could he admit such feelings so openly? It was simply too embarrassing.

"It's just father feeling too proud to show his face, trying to keep up the dignity of the Hyuga clan head, huh!" Little Hanabi Hyuga unceremoniously exposed her father's thoughts, then turned to Sakura, "Sister, the training for the Lightning Release chakra nature transformation must have been very tough, right?"

Already initiated into the practice of chakra training, Hanabi understood some of these matters well. Chakra nature transformation was extremely difficult, and one could easily get hurt.

"Why didn't Hinata tell me about this? I could have helped her with the research..." The daughter-con Hiashi thought regretfully, his mind filling with concern. His soft and adorable daughter was not only managing the affairs of the Hyuga clan but also practicing Gentle Fist and mastering the Lightning Release transformation. Thinking of the hardships she must have endured made Hiashi's heart ache.

A collective, silent consensus moved the group slightly away from Hiashi, the man who, beneath his stern exterior, was truly a daughter-con at heart. Always appearing cold and ruthless, he would transform into a chatterbox the moment something related to his daughter came up.

"Ah..." Hanabi sighed, mature beyond her years. She looked with disdain at her father, who had slipped into his daughter-con chatterbox mode. In her eyes, her sister, strong and cool, was far superior to their hapless father.

While the group above chatted, below them, Hinata had already unleashed a complete sequence of Gentle Fist on Kagetsuki. Kagetsuki's body was sent flying, barely clinging to life.

Yet Hinata showed no joy of victory; instead, she stood in place with a smile curling at the edge of her lips.

"Clang..."

A crisp sound rang out as Kagetsuki appeared behind Hinata, his broadsword hacking down on her back. But instead of slicing through flesh, the metal broadsword collided with her body with the sound of hard objects striking each other, halted in its path.

"How is this possible?" Kagetsuki's pupils dilated in shock. Why couldn't his blade cut through her flesh?

"Using a clone as a feint while the real body hides, waiting for a moment of lowered guard to strike... A common tactic, indeed, but quite effective..." Hinata analyzed calmly, unfazed by the sword on her back. "But it seems you've forgotten something. No matter how realistic a clone is, its chakra is always different, and my Byakugan can see chakra flows. Even if you hide well, I can still see you!"

"Your body..."

As she explained, Hinata slowly turned around, leaving Kagetsuki frozen in shock. The Hinata before him was no longer flesh and blood; her entire body had transformed into a crystalline structure, like diamond, radiating a dazzling light.

"Diamonds seem to be harder than your sword, so your attack... is ineffective against me."

Hinata, now completely diamondized, cared little for Kagetsuki's slash. With her body as hard as diamond, not just swords but even ninjutsu would be hard-pressed to harm her, given Kagetsuki's level of strength.

"Wait, how did my girl turn into this?" Hiashi, deeply concerned for his daughter, widened his eyes in bewilderment. "Could it be some treacherous technique from that Hidden Cloud village boy? I knew it, no good comes from Hidden Cloud village..."

With his mind racing with thoughts of his daughter being harmed by Hidden Cloud village, Hiashi's emotions flared. He slapped the railing, "The brats from Hidden Cloud village dared to harm my daughter, I must gather the Hyuga clan and fight them to the death..."

Seeing Hiashi nearly turn his Byakugan into a Sharingan with anger, Kakashi and others quickly rushed to restrain him. [XD]

"Uncle Hiashi, can you not be so impulsive? This is Hinata's own choice. Look, she's strong and is winning." Sakura desperately tried to bring Hiashi back to his senses. "Your daughter is not weak. She doesn't need the entire Hyuga clan to go to war over a sparring match."

"And besides, Hinata is stronger now. She can protect herself and doesn't need such overprotection," Hanabi added firmly, her gaze not leaving her sister who was dazzling in the arena.

Hinata's figure was enveloped in an ethereal glow as she stood unyielding, facing Kagetsuki, a testament to her strength and determination. And at this moment, the Hyuga clan, though concerned, swelled with pride for the flower that had bloomed so fiercely from their garden.
