Teaching Hinata

Ryu let out a breath and closed both books, saying "Alright, I have enough. For the rest I don't need the reference material anymore." Hiashi suddenly asked with a heartbroken expression, "Can you show me the finished Technique?"

Ryu was stunned and looked at him, curling his lips in amusement, "Did you notice the greatness of me?" Hiashi's lips twitched and he stared at Ryu, saying angrily "Be quiet. If this came with someone else, how great would that be!?"

Ryu laughed and said with a chuckle, "You can't wait? It won't be long. I have been working on this for a few years already. If I can get some more inspiration, I can finish it in a month…"

Hiashi asked curiously "Otherwise?" Ryu smiled wryly, "Otherwise, it'll be a few years… There's a lot of principles inside this technique, not to mention Chakra Coils, but even acupoints, blood vessel systems, etc. There's a lot of minor points that are key to the technique."

He shook his head and said "It's a very complicated process. This skill would combine Gentle and Tough, can you imagine the complexity of such a technique?" he gestured for Hiashi, adding "While breaking a bone and bruising muscle, your fist will simultaneously shatter the Acupoint and Chakra pathway!"

Hiashi nodded and said "Sounds complex. Gentle Fist was never meant to injure the flesh to begin with." Ryu nodded and explained "That's the main reason it's so difficult. But it should be possible."

Of course it was possible!

The main principle was exactly like Internal Destruction Armament Haki.

Punch the flesh and injure the insides as well.

Completely possible, the only thing missing was the actual Water Stream Rock Shattering Fist!

Ryu had a headache about this, it was only an imitation after all! The base was only Gentle Palm Fist, but the rest was interferences so after reviewing, it had too many similarities to Gentle Palm Fist because Ryu didn't have a deep understanding of Water Stream Rock Shattering Fist.

He could only pray that he got Water Stream Rock Shattering Fist as a reward from the system.

However!

This didn't mean it was useless!

Ryu didn't train in Taijutsu with Guy and Kakashi for 20 years for nothing. He already had deep achievements in Taijutsu, he created his own Taijutsu after all.

Not to mention, Ryu also went to various villages and stole their Taijutsu to supplement his own. He even stole Shinra's 7 Heavens Breathing Method a long time ago. He improved his Breathing methods and Eight Gates with Guy.

Obviously, the Eight gates were much stronger than the original…

Plus, Ryu's own Taijutsu which was a combination of various aggressive anime imitations and various Taijutsu from different villages along with his own experience and deductions from constant fighting, was extremely powerful.

However, it could only be used to the most effective with Sharingan and Observation Haki, without the two it would only be a Top Tier Taijutsu.

Needless to say, Burning Hell was extremely powerful.

Although, it was mostly used for Uchiha…

At any rate, Ryu created other Taijutsu for normal ninja along with the 6 powers.

Though he figured that creating specified Taijutsu for each clan would make Konoha stronger.

Therefore Burning Hell and the one he was currently working on were created.

Unfortunately, Hiruzen embezzled the Breathing methods and Taijutsu and anything else Ryu created…

Maybe that's why Hiruzen kept him around. If you had such a good milk cow, would you be happy killing it? That's simply killing the chicken for its eggs…

Ryu was probably a golden goose in Hiruzen's eyes.

This actually wasn't in Ryu's plans, but just a coincidence…

Anyway~

Ryu left the Hyuga compound after saying hello to Neji.

He went home and worked on the new Taijutsu for Hinata.

At night, a crow landed on Ryu's windowsill and looked at him with a Mangekyou Sharingan reflected in its eyes.

Ryu curled his lips and scratched under the crow's beak, ruffling its feathers as he said "End of the Chunin exams, don't worry about Akatsuki, they won't interfere. You're working with Orochimaru in this one."

The crow cawed and flew away with Ryu's Mangekyou in its eyes.

This was how Ryu and Itachi communicated.

It was very simple and only activated if it was Itachi or Ryu's Mangekyou. Even if someone stole a crow, nothing would happen.

Maybe they would be labeled as a crow weirdo…

The next day

Ryu appeared at the training place and Hinata was already there.

Ryu chuckled and said "Sorry, I was helping a grandma cross the road…Anyway, here."

Hinata took the book from his hand and said in confusion "Gentle Waterfall Fist? What is this, Sensei?"

Ryu raised a finger and smiled "Your new Taijutsu. It's based on Gentle Palm Fist and another technique I created called Water Stream Rock Shattering Fist, hence the name Gentle Waterfall Fist. Though I wanted to name it Gentle Surging Waves Crashing Waterfall Fist or Gentle Waterfall Shattering Fist, but Anko said just Gentle Waterfall Fist is better…"

Ryu then complained, "Naruto wanted to call it 'Surging Waves Tsunami Shattering Fist' and Sasuke said 'Heavenly Waterfall God Breaking Dragon Fist' but these names were so trash and tacky, that I smacked them both. Anyway, this is the final name. Subject to change…"

Hinata was confused and looked at Ryu while tilting her head.

Ryu coughed and explained "You can simply switch from Gentle Fist to this, eventually as it improves further and further it will replace Gentle Palm Fist in your Hyuga clan… I already talked to your father. Also, not to mention switching from Gentle Fist to this is very smooth."

Hinata said hesitantly, "But… Gentle Fist is the family technique… I-" Ryu pinched her lips and asked "Do you want to be stronger?" Hinata nodded and Ryu smiled "Then trust your teacher, right?"

Hinata finally nodded and started reading as Ryu showed her the movements at the same time, explaining the points that she was stuck on or didn't understand.

Hinata improved rapidly, slowly changing to Gentle Waterfall Fist.

Ryu stood there as Hinata attacked him, saying "Incorporate your Water Breathing into your movements. You need to flow like water, Hinata! Wrong! More fierce, like a Waterfall! There you go."

Ryu pushed her shoulder and she turned with the momentum, slapping out her hand.

Ryu caught her little hand and smiled "Good job. Not enough power but you'll get it one day, Hinata-chan." Hinata stopped and smiled slightly, "Water Breathing is much smoother now, Sensei."

Ryu smiled gently and rubbed her head, explaining "Of course, Water Breathing Principles are also incorporated into the Technique. It will double the effect with half the effort."

Hinata nodded and continued to train.

Ryu taught Hinata the 6 Powers as well, focusing on Paper Arts and Iron Body. Ryu wanted to have Hinata use Iron Body and Paper Arts to absorb blows and transfer the power to her strike, like Garou does.

But it was extremely difficult. Not to mention, Hinata was more of a Gentle Person. Even if she wasn't, just the sheer difficulty of such a maneuver was immense!

Ryu continued to train Hinata intensely for basically the entire month break of the Chunin Exams.

Ryu was walking on the street and could feel the tense atmosphere in the air. He curled his lips as he felt several dozen Anbu watching him specifically, hiding around various places wherever he was going.

He ignored them and sat on a bench, eating Dango as he looked at the corner of his vision.

He curled his lips and clicked on the red 1.
