Chapter 19: Chapter:19
"Come on!" Haruto handed over the golden hammer with a smile.
"H-Hi, thanks for your care!" Hinata said weakly.
Bang!
Hinata swung the golden hammer and struck an egg in front of her.
Result…
The egg didn't crack!
"..." Haruto was speechless!
"Miss, you need to use a little more strength!" Haruto smiled.
"H-Hi!" Hinata stammered shyly, her face instantly turning red.
"Ah, so cute!" Haruto's heart almost melted at Hinata's shy expression.
How could such a cute girl fall for an idiot like Naruto?! Haruto wondered.
Was it because he saved her from bullies when they were children?! That's too simple!
The more Haruto thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He decided he had to change Hinata's mind.
Meanwhile, Hinata, her face flushed, gripped the golden hammer with both hands, her head lowered, avoiding eye contact with anyone.
"Hinata!"
Kurenai stepped forward, gently patting Hinata's back. "Come on!"
"I... I understand!" Hinata replied weakly.
"Your name is Hinata, right? Such a nice name!" Haruto said.
"Although this golden egg is meant to be smashed, it's reinforced with gold. If you don't use enough strength, it won't break!" Haruto explained as gently as possible.
"H-Hey, I get it!" Hinata's face turned even redder at Haruto's kindness.
After a long pause, she finally mustered the courage, raised the hammer high, and swung it down!
Bang!
The golden egg shattered!
"See, I knew you could do it!" Haruto encouraged her immediately.
"Hiii, thank you!" Hinata's face turned slightly red as she avoided looking at Haruto.
"Let's see what good things you got!"
Haruto glanced at the three glowing golden spheres, instantly recognizing them.
Blue Essence ×100
Sunflower Acupuncture Finger!
Destiny Coin ×5!
"Oh, what good luck!" Haruto commented.
Blue Essence was a common item.
Sunflower Acupuncture Finger was a legendary technique from Wulin Wai Zhuan, mastered by Bai Yutang, capable of immobilizing even top-tier martial artists. Once executed, the opponent is completely paralyzed, unable to resist!
The Destiny Coin was a one-time-use item.
Heads: Blessing—the user experiences extreme luck for half an hour.
Tails: Divine Punishment—the user's luck declines drastically, leading to misfortune.
"How is it, boss?" Kurenai asked Haruto with a smile.
"Not bad!" Haruto nodded. "Everything here is useful."
"Really? That's great!" Kurenai said happily.
"Let's go through them one by one!" Haruto retrieved the Sunflower Acupuncture Finger scroll.
"Oh, it's a scroll-type ability!" Ino immediately recognized it as a permanent skill reward.
"Yes, this is a skill scroll!" Haruto confirmed. "And it's highly beneficial for Hinata!"
"Then, please explain it to us in detail, boss!" Kurenai said while stroking Hinata's head.
"This technique is called Sunflower Acupuncture Finger. It's a type of physical technique," Haruto explained.
"The name itself is perfect for Hinata!"
"Similar to the Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist, this technique is designed to immobilize an opponent completely."
"Once struck, the opponent's chakra flow stops entirely. But that's not all!"
"Unlike the Gentle Fist, this technique also prevents any physical movement, effectively turning the opponent into an unmoving statue!"
"Only the caster can undo this effect! Not even the Hokage could break free!"
Haruto stated confidently.
"That strong?!" Kiba was doubtful.
As a ninja, even if chakra was blocked, physical abilities could still be relied upon.
Moreover, high-level chakra reserves could sometimes break through the Gentle Fist's effects.
But Sunflower Acupuncture Finger could seal both chakra and movement?!
That was terrifying!
"Yes, that's exactly why this technique is so powerful!" Haruto said proudly. "My golden eggs never contain ordinary jutsu!"
His confidence made the room silent for a moment.
"Amazing!" Kurenai said, smiling as she took the scroll from Haruto and handed it to Hinata.
"Use it, Hinata!" Kurenai encouraged her student.
"Y-Yes, Sensei!"
Hinata carefully unrolled the scroll.
The characters on the scroll seemed alive, glowing softly before merging into Hinata's body.
In that moment, knowledge of the technique flowed into her mind.
I can use it so easily! Hinata realized, as if she had practiced it for years.
"Oh, right!" Haruto suddenly added. "To undo the effect, just reverse your chakra flow."
"I understand. Thank you, boss!" Hinata bowed deeply to Haruto.
"What a polite and good girl!" Haruto smiled.
"Alright, let's check out the next item!"
Haruto retrieved the five Destiny Coins.
"Is this… a coin?!" Kiba leaned in curiously.
Haruto held up a seemingly normal coin.
"No, this isn't an ordinary coin!" Haruto smirked, shaking his head.
"Look closely at it!" He handed one to Kiba.
Kiba examined it carefully. "Oh! The two sides are identical, except one is slightly darker!"
"Exactly!" Haruto nodded. "This is the Destiny Coin. It determines whether you'll experience great luck or extreme misfortune for the next half hour!"
"Seriously?!" Kiba studied it even closer.
"Yes!" Haruto confirmed. "Your fate has already been decided. This coin just reveals the path ahead!"
"Tch, it's just a small coin! How can it decide my fate?!" Kiba scoffed.
A true warrior didn't believe in luck!
"Fate is just an excuse for the weak!" Kiba declared boldly.
