Menma and Hashirama, what happened in Teyvat

"Well……"

Hinata tried to use the instincts of her body to mobilize the power that she had never felt in her previous life. She transferred as much power as possible to the surface of her body in an attempt to break the golden binding illusion on her body.

She was also aware that illusions mostly work by disrupting the five senses of the human body. So when she felt that she could successfully mobilize the energy called "chakra" in her body, she immediately tried to disrupt the chakra near the surface nerves of the body.

Since Menma only wanted to test Hinata's proficiency in controlling her body and chakra, the golden binding illusion he used was not very powerful and was easily broken by Hinata who had figured out the trick.

"OK... Success." Hinata stretched lazily as she felt her body regain its mobility, not caring that doing so would show off her amazing figure to the fullest. "Although I was a little unfamiliar with chakra at first, it seems that it is not that difficult to operate it if I follow my body's instincts."

"Oh?" Menma raised an eyebrow. "You got the hang of it so quickly?"

"Key points?"

"Yeah, that's what Menma and I did before." Hashirama explained, "After all, although we often hear ninjas talk about how to use chakra in the original work, it's just a setting of an imaginary world after all."

"But now, since this 'fiction' has become a reality, and it happens to be happening to us, what could be more appropriate than following the body's instincts to adapt to this energy?" Menma added.

"Hmm... that makes sense..."

"Oh, right." Hashirama suddenly remembered something. "Come to think of it, when we first came to this world and became what we are now, we also got all the memories of our abilities. Don't you have that?"

"Memory..." After Hashirama said this, Hinata finally reacted. It seemed that this was indeed the case, but because too much high-information content flooded into her mind before, she did not think about it at the first time.

And now, when she finally realized this and calmed down to recall it, those memories resurfaced and began to convey to her the abilities of her body -

[White Eyes… Guarding the Eight Trigrams with Sixty-Four Palms… Soft Steps Twin Lions Fist… Eight Trigrams Empty Palm… Palm Immortal Technique… Barrier·Four Directions Sealing Formation… Eight Trigrams·Twin Lions Collapse…]

Since Hinata knew much less than Menma and Hashirama, it didn't take her long to digest the information and come back to her senses.

"I always feel..." He looked at his hands, then raised his head to look at the two "big guys" in front of him, "The gap between you two and me is really huge..."

These two guys, any one of their ultimate moves can easily blow up a mountain or flatten a city. If they use full firepower, it would be easy to quickly destroy any country in Teyvat.

As for her? Her most powerful move seemed to be the Eight Trigrams: Double Lions Collapse, and this kind of ninjutsu that required the Byakugan and even Hamura's chakra was not only restrictive and consuming, but also extremely limited in power. At least it couldn't compare to the two monsters in front of her.

Even though Menma had said that he would protect her, she herself had only said it as a joke at first. If this was the case, it would be fine if it was done in moderation, but if she had to rely on these two monster fellows to protect her every day, as a very strong-willed woman, she would never accept this situation.

Although clinging to someone powerful is an idea that most newbies whose strength is still in the development stage would have, she is not the kind of "vassal" who would rely on someone powerful for a long time and not make any progress.

So, in just a few seconds, she made up her mind...

"Menma, Hashirama."

"Huh?" x2

When they heard Hinata, who usually spoke carefree, suddenly change her attitude and call them in a serious tone, both of them were a little slow to react.

"I want to ask you for a favor..." She said sincerely and firmly, "Next, I hope you can train me."

"Training?" Although Menma had thought that Hinata would have such an idea, he still teased her, "Didn't you say before that you wanted me to protect you?"

"This doesn't conflict with my desire to become stronger." Hinata refused to lose the upper hand. "Anyway, I don't want to be left too far behind by the two of you from beginning to end. You should understand what I mean, right?"

"Hey, I thought it was nothing." Hashirama waved his hand. "No problem. In this world, fighting happens all the time. There are plenty of Hilichurls, Fatui, or whatever else you can use as punching bags.

Besides, we will practice with each other from time to time when we have free time, and you can join us when the time comes."

"That's right." Menma nodded, "Since we are all a group now, it's a good thing no matter who is stronger. If you want to become stronger, we can help you at any time."

"...Thank you." After hearing what the two said, Hinata nodded and thanked them sincerely.

"That's perfect. Since Zhongli has already left, it wouldn't be a big deal for us to chase him and continue to explore Liyue." At this time, Menma suggested, "Besides, there is nothing else important to do right now, so why not just start training."

"That's fine." Upon hearing that, Hashirama immediately began to get ready. "I've been traveling or watching Menma's layout for a while, and haven't had much training. I'm a little itchy."

"It's settled then." Menma looked at Hinata, "Here, the training you want can start right away."

"That's really nice of you." Hinata smiled, "Okay, two monster seniors, I'm going to test your teaching skills now."

"Uh..." Hanaya was speechless as he watched Kong fall into the water again.

For some reason, it always felt that this "person who is suitable to be a ninja" recognized by his two masters was a little... unskilled?

This is not to say that he is not strong, at least Hanaya believes that with Sora's strength, it will be no problem to beat this team of White Zetsu. Moreover, Sora can also properly integrate the chakra in his body (given to him by Menma and Hashirama and injected into his body, but not sealed) into his own moves using physical skills, swordsmanship or elemental power, so as to exert a more powerful power.

However, exercises like treading water, which require the use of chakra for control with delicate means, are Kong's biggest weakness.

He was able to gather chakra under his feet and use it to absorb onto walls or water. Stepping on walls was fine, and so he was able to use the side of a wooden bridge to do something similar to "tree climbing" without much trouble. However, in terms of finely controlling chakra to the point where it could change in real time with the flow of water, allowing him to stand steadily or even walk on the water, Kong frequently stumbled.

"It seems that your talent in the fine control of chakra... in the words of the master, it seems that - you have it, but not much." Hanaya's sincere complaint unintentionally was like a knife, stabbing Kong, who had just climbed out of the water, back into the water.

"Well...you don't have to be so blunt."

Even though Kong had realized this after practicing so many times, it certainly felt completely different when he knew it in his heart and heard it spoken by others.

"Traveler, you... pfft... are you okay..." Paimon was a little worried about Sora at first, but seeing him clinging to the wooden bridge next to him to avoid sinking, and his soaked body, her worry immediately turned into ridicule, "Do you want me to find a fishing rod to fish you out?"

"Paimon..." Hearing Paimon's ridicule, even though Kong knew that she meant no harm, his face still darkened and he couldn't help but look up and stare into her eyes expressionlessly.

"Uh..." Seeing the look in Sora's eyes, Paimeng was subconsciously a little scared. She was not afraid of seeing Sora's evil smile, not afraid of seeing Sora angry, but she was afraid of seeing Sora with no expression at all. Because it meant that he was thinking about how to fry, stir-fry, steam, bake, stew, and braise her a hundred and eighty times.

As expected, Sora's next words reminded her that it was time for her to escape—

"Hehe... Compared to eating cooked food, it is more appropriate to eat emergency food raw..."

"Ahhh, I was wrong! Don't eat me, don't eat me!!!"

"Humph, you want to escape?" Seeing Paimeng trying to run, Kong Meng jumped out of the water and grabbed Paimeng before he could fly away. In an instant...

Watching the two of them falling into the water and becoming soaked, Hanaya said nothing the whole time, trying to minimize his presence. At the same time, he thought to himself: [The relationship between these two is really good...]

According to other White Zetsu, they had heard their master mention that there were quite a few good friends or partners whose friendship was proved by how much they hurt each other. The harder they hurt each other, the stronger the relationship between them.

Putting aside other things, the two masters who are sometimes in a state of madness in private are the best example.

Since they never deliberately avoided the White Zetsu when they were fighting with each other, Hanaya had witnessed it with his own eyes.

As a White Zetsu with a relatively high IQ, Hanaya could understand all of this. Therefore, when he saw the interaction between Sora and Paimon, he immediately understood that they had such a close and friendly relationship.

Therefore, it chose to "hide" for the time being, and wait until the two of them had enough fun, and then continue to train the air on treading water and other aspects of fine chakra control.

"Huh...ha..."

Hinata, who was covered in wounds, breathed heavily with her hands on the ground. Beads of sweat and a trace of blood slowly dripped from her face, showing her miserable state at the moment.

"Can you still hold on?" On the other side, looking at Hinata who seemed to be a little exhausted, Menma withdrew his right hand and asked with a slightly worried but more serious tone, "High-intensity training is fine, but don't push yourself too hard."

Just now he was practicing physical skills with Hinata, and the reason why Hinata was in such a miserable state was because he did not hold back too much.

Although... this was actually Hinata's own request.

"It's okay..." Even though she was covered in wounds, Hinata still managed to stand up. She reached out to wipe the sweat and blood from her forehead, and smiled with all her might. "Keep going until I can't get up anymore."

"You really work hard, sister." Menma sighed, "Just from this point of view, you are stronger than both of us."

He and Hashirama had practiced against each other many times, but never fought to such an extent. It could even be said that the most intense and dangerous battles they had experienced since they came to this world were the two unreal test duels with Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Madara, and Senju Tobirama in the dream when they received the inheritance.

Hinata, a girl, could be so calm and confident in her desperate training attitude. To be honest, Menma, her opponent, and Hashirama, who was watching the match, felt a little ashamed in front of her.
