"It's time to take action," Hinata Kaze muttered to himself in the training room.
Since breaking through in Baguazhang half a month ago, Hyuga Kaze has been intensifying his training to further transform his physical qualities and chakra reserves, striving to lay the best foundation.
Reaching the third level of Baguazhang is merely a foundational platform. Mastering, applying, and developing it is a vast subject requiring one to comprehend the natural world and all its myriad methods, integrating them into the realm of Yin and Yang and the Eight Trigrams, and ultimately discovering one's own unique Baguazhang method.
By today, Hinata Kaze feels that he has almost integrated all the knowledge and abilities he knows.
To make further progress in cultivation, you will need to collect more cultivation methods and skills and comprehend them further.
It's now Konoha year 57, and the start of the story is getting closer and closer. Hyuga Kaze feels that time is running out, so he decides to take action.
Hyuga Kaze's first stop was aimed directly at the Hyuga main family.
Soon, he activated his Void Journey skill and began exploring the heavily guarded areas of the main family that he had previously observed.
The Hyuga clan is one of the top-ranking clans in Konoha, and the main family occupies a large area. Although Hyuga Kaze had a general idea of the area, he only visited a few locations on the first day and eliminated some places.
Hyuga Kaze's ability to travel through the void can only be used for half an hour each day. Fortunately, he is fast enough now and is also within the Hyuga clan's territory, otherwise it would be really difficult to explore.
This exploration lasted for more than half a month. At first, Hinata Kaze was excited about exploring and opening up new maps, but gradually his feelings turned into disgust from the repetitive operations. He finally made a gain before his patience ran out.
That night, Hinata Kaze emerged from the interlayer of space and found himself in a secret chamber more than 40 meters underground. The chamber was made entirely of massive stones three feet thick, and the walls were covered with runes that could block the Byakugan's vision.
Hinata Kaze went to great lengths to find this secret room, but fortunately, his Insightful Mind and Martial Arts Intuition were quite powerful, and he still managed to find the place.
It was precisely because they had confidence in the guards outside and because this place required a high level of secrecy that the clan did not arrange for anyone to be on duty here.
Hinata Kaze only ventured out after observing the area several times to confirm that there were no people or cameras present. Of course, he was still in the form of Shimura Danzo, created through the Transformation Technique—better safe than sorry.
The secret room wasn't very big; it only contained one cabinet with dozens of scrolls, divided into three piles.
Hyuga Kaze quickly flipped through the pages. The first category contained profound knowledge of the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist, including techniques such as Empty Palm, Mountain Breaker, Empty Wall Palm, Heaven Return, and Gentle Step Double Lion Palm. There were also some cultivation insights and experiences from the Hyuga clan's predecessors.
The second pile contained prescriptions for medicinal baths and supplementary drugs, covering everything from infant growth aids and bone strengthening to internal organ conditioning. Hyuga Kaze saw that many of these prescriptions were exclusively for the main family and were much more effective than those used by members of the other family.
The third pile consists of the Hyuga clan's asset contracts, including shop contracts in Konoha's commercial district and share certificates of some trading companies, which are of little use to Hyuga Kaze for the time being.
Fortunately, there is an ultra-high-definition camera and projection player from planet S78. The contents of the scroll that Hyuga Kaze flipped over were all captured in time and can be projected out for close viewing at any time.
Unfortunately, there is no record scroll of the Caged Bird Seal here. Although there is a reward from the system, "The Complete Knowledge of Spell Seals - From Beginner to Burial", which also includes the principles and solutions of the Caged Bird Seal, you need to learn the basics yourself. Whether you can actually put the knowledge into practice is another matter.
The system's reward included a clear explanation of the Caged Bird Seal's principle and a solution, but the solution required mastering the seal techniques step by step. These seals included not only sealing techniques from the ninja world but also techniques from the magic and martial arts worlds, and the solution required a very high level of sealing skill.
Hinata Kaze was eager to see how the Caged Bird Seal of the main family was cast and how to break it, so that he could learn from it and improve much faster. Moreover, this knowledge of sealing techniques was also part of the great principles of heaven and earth, and learning more about it would be beneficial for cultivating the advanced martial arts Baguazhang.
It now seems that the content about the Caged Bird Seal was likely passed down orally from generation to generation within the main family, without being written down. We'll have to find a way to record it later.
Hinata Kaze was quite satisfied with tonight's gains. Although they didn't significantly improve his training, they were still a good supplement. These things would be excellent for reference, research, and training his subordinates.
Having acquired all the valuable items, Hinata Kaze set off for home. He planned to return to thoroughly study and compare the advanced techniques of Gentle Fist with the differences between High Martial Arts Baguazhang, broaden his horizons, and continuously strive for improvement in his strength.
In the following months, apart from going on missions, Hyuga Kaze would spend half an hour every night walking in the virtual world, wandering around Konoha like a ghost, exploring places such as the Hokage Building, the Sarutobi Clan, the Shimura Clan, and Root, gradually acquiring resources that could help him improve.
Hinata Kaze's exploration progress was not ideal. He had to locate the secret chamber, determine if there were any mechanisms, cameras, or guardians, and then enter to collect data. Limited to half an hour a day, the harvest was not as amazing as he had expected, but there were still quite a few good things.
The most surprising gain for Hinata Kaze during this period came from the Sarutobi family.
He never expected to find Minato Namikaze's notes in the Sarutobi clan's secret chamber. The notes contained detailed records of the Flying Thunder God Technique, including Tobirama Senju's initial version and Minato Namikaze's final version. They even included the difficulties Minato encountered during his training, his thought process, reference materials, and directions for improvement. It was as if Minato Namikaze was teaching him step by step.
Placed alongside Minato Namikaze's notebook was a scroll of sealing techniques from the Uzumaki clan. It contained detailed records of all the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, from the basic Light Array to the ultimate Reaper Death Seal. However, it was covered with layers of seals, which had to be broken one by one to see the contents.
Besides these things that would help improve his strength, Hyuga Kaze also found some good stuff at several Root bases: evidence of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura's crimes. There were so many documents and materials that moving them would attract attention, so Hyuga Kaze took pictures of them first, planning to retrieve them later.
Unfortunately, the root base was not found; I guess the best stuff, like the interstitial cells, is probably there.
Overall, the results were acceptable, and Hinata Kaze is satisfied for now.
As for the Book of Seals in the Hokage Building, and the secret scrolls of other major families, let's leave them for now. Once he absorbs this round of resources, his strength will definitely improve greatly, and then he'll be able to get his hands on all sorts of good things. For now, we still need to be careful and not cause any trouble.
Go back and continue your diligent training!
