The Strongest Hokage

”

Naito took a sip of tea, calmed his thoughts, and looked at Hinata, who was covered with sweat, then smiled and said.

Back in the time when Naito was doing a lot of physical training, he always pushed his body to the extreme, but when he guided others, he never used the self-rule method on Haku or Kimimaro, not to mention Hinata.

“I… I can continue…”

Hinata stopped when she heard Naitos words, then grasped violently, and looked at Naito sharply.

Looking at her expression, Naito showed a helpless expression and said: “Gentle Fist is not just about working hard. Your pace became chaotic, and it will get more out of control if you continue to practice.”

“Yes, Im sorry, Naito-Sensei…”

Hinata stopped, then stood a little bit timidly in front of Naito.

Noticing how Hinata was standing, Naito reluctantly said, “I didnt mean to startle you, came here rest and drink some water.”

“Yes.”

Hinata nodded at Naito, then walked to his side and sat down.

Looking at Hinata who wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then began to drink the water from the glass she was holding in her hand, Naito showed a thoughtful expression, then suddenly said: “Hinata, did your grandfather told you something like you must practice hard, so you dont disappoint me?”

“What?”

Hinata was surprised for a moment, then she immediately seemed weak again, and said: “Yes, Im sorry…”

“…”

Hinata almost apologizes all the time, which makes Naito speechless, then suddenly he couldnt help but remember what Dai taught him in the past.

Dont apologize for your efforts, just work harder… because this is youth!

Thinking of this, Naito shook his head immediately, wishing if he could wipe this memory out of his mind.

Looking at Hinatas weak expression, Naito patted her head and smiled: “Dont apologize, I didnt mean to blame you. Actually, I mean, um, take your grandpas words as farts. Dont worry about it.”

“Uh…”

When Hinata head these words, she felt stunned for a moment, then when she looked at Naitos calm and kind expression, she forgot about it as if nothing has happened in the first place.

“Well, thats it.” Naito looked at Hinata seriously, then said, “In short, dont force yourself, Chakra control is not easy to learn.”

In fact, theres nothing wrong with Naitos remark. Gentle Fist is not an ordinary Taijutsu style, and it doesnt require a lot of physical strength. Its strictly a physical technique of Chakra.

From the word “Gentle,” you can understand why it doesnt require a lot of physical strength.

Its all about the mental state, the control of you Chakra, and which point you should attack… etc.

The more relaxed and calmer the mindset is, the less likely its for the user to make mistakes. Thus, if you practice hard, sometimes it will be counterproductive.

Hinata didnt understand this but simply thought that Naito was taking care of her deliberately, and couldnt help but bow her head slightly, with a lovely blush on her cheeks.

“Yes, Naito-Sensei.”

When Hinata first practiced under Naitos hands, she felt anxious, she was afraid that she wouldnt do this well.

But she didnt expect that Naito will treat her much more tenderly than her own father. Not only that, he never scolds her, but also takes good care of her everywhere they go. But this was the first time for her to see Naitos expression this serious.
