Shino Aburame noticed Hinata's frightened expression and asked, "What's wrong, Hinata?"
Hinata looked as if she had just seen some kind of ferocious beast.
She hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Sora, can I call you that?"
Sora nodded calmly and said, "Names are meant to be used by others, so go ahead."
He was also a little curious. Could there really be some kind of secret hidden in his Qi and blood?
Hinata lowered her head slightly and hesitated again. Seeing this, Sora immediately understood.
She was clearly worried that what she had seen was his private part.
Even witnessing it had already made her feel embarrassed, and letting more people know would only make it worse.
It wasn't that she didn't trust her companions. It was simply her personality.
Hinata found it difficult to reveal other people's secrets, and at the same time she worried that exposing Sora's situation might bring trouble to Inuzuka Kiba and Shino.
A strange light flashed through Sora's eyes. Instantly, the two of them entered an Illusion Space.
Sora looked at her and said calmly, "Speak here. This is an Illusion Space, so no one except us will hear anything."
At that moment, Sora became even more determined about his earlier plan to cultivate these people as subordinates under Tsunade.
At the very least, he was satisfied with Hinata's behavior.
They were practically strangers meeting for the first time, yet Hinata was already careful enough to protect his secret.
Although Sora himself didn't care if others knew, Hinata's attitude was exactly what he appreciated.
Hinata's aptitude might not compare to Naruto or Sasuke, but Sora's own aptitude had once been even worse than hers.
Yet he had still crushed those so-called geniuses. Because of that, he considered Hinata worth cultivating.
As for aptitude, Sora simply didn't care.
His own talent had once been inferior to many genin, yet he had still become this powerful.
Aptitude mattered, but it didn't determine everything. Besides, he already had methods to change a person's aptitude.
What mattered most to him now was Hinata's character, and in that regard she satisfied him completely.
Hinata gathered her courage and said softly, "I just saw two kinds of power in your blood, and they are gradually fusing together."
She paused for a moment, carefully choosing her words before continuing.
"When I tried to observe them more closely, they seemed to notice my gaze and reacted as if they were going to pounce."
Hinata continued explaining, "One power felt like water, and the other like fire. It's as if your blood is embracing both of them,
blending them together until the three become almost indistinguishable. I can't understand the deeper changes inside your body, so this is all I could see."
Sora silently analyzed her words.
As expected, his Qi and blood had already begun embracing the chakra created by Water and Fire Nature Transformation.
The three forces were gradually merging together. Once they completely fused, his Bloodline Limit would truly be born instead of remaining a mere prototype.
He felt extremely satisfied.
At that moment, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
If someone with the Byakugan could stay by his side, then combined with Tsunade's medical knowledge and his own understanding of the human body, the three of them working together might greatly accelerate the completion of his Bloodline Limit.
They could even detect hidden dangers earlier and prepare for them.
However, this matter involved his greatest secrets.
He couldn't allow just anyone to stay by his side.
It wasn't that he feared others observing him.
After all, countless people had studied the Sharingan and still gained nothing from it.
What he truly cared about was whether the person beside him was trustworthy.
Thinking about his earlier idea of cultivating Hinata, Sora looked at her with a strange expression.
Hinata shrank back slightly under his gaze, looking somewhat frightened.
She hurriedly said in a small voice, "I won't tell anyone."
Sora shook his head and replied calmly, "Don't worry. I wouldn't care even if you told someone, otherwise I wouldn't have let you see it."
During his time in Konoha, he had secretly investigated Hinata's situation.
Combined with what he already knew, he understood her circumstances quite well.
Sora looked at her and said quietly, "You haven't been living very happily in the Hyuga Clan, have you?"
Hinata's delicate face instantly turned pale. Her eyes reddened slightly.
Although she had a gentle personality, she still possessed a quiet inner strength.
However, ever since childhood she had been neglected and often ostracized within the strict and pragmatic Hyuga Clan.
Even her own father rarely looked at her directly.
To say she wasn't heartbroken would be impossible.
But Hinata's personality also prevented her from blaming her father or resenting the clan. Instead, she simply kept all of her pain buried inside her heart.
In reality, as the daughter of the clan leader, she had not received the treatment she deserved.
On the contrary, she had faced even greater pressure and isolation than ordinary clan members.
In the original history, when Hinata was seriously injured, her father barely even glanced at her.
Instead, all of his attention was focused on the person who had hurt her.
In order to gain favor with the other party, he ignored his daughter's condition completely and showed no concern for her.
Such ruthlessness was unfortunately common within large clans.
Because of this, the grievances Hinata carried in her heart could never be described with just a few simple words.
Yet despite growing up in such an environment, she had still managed to keep her kind and gentle nature intact.
That alone made Sora value her even more.
To him, talent and strength were secondary.
Character was what truly mattered.
As long as someone met his standards, he had absolute confidence in turning them into a powerhouse.
After all, his own aptitude had once been far worse than Hinata's, yet he had still surpassed many geniuses.
Because of that, he completely ignored the concept of talent.
Sora looked at Hinata and spoke decisively, "I can change your situation."
He continued calmly, "I can make you the strongest among the younger generation of the Hyuga Clan, and eventually even the strongest person in the entire Hyuga Clan."
His gaze became sharper. Sora added.
"I can make everyone who once mocked and looked down on you bow their heads in fear and respect, begging for your forgiveness."
He had already made his decision.
After observing Hinata repeatedly, he became even more certain that she was someone worth cultivating.
Acting immediately had always been his style.
Hinata froze in place.
Her soft voice trembled slightly as she asked, "I... can I really do that?"
For a brief moment, she seemed to see the future Sora had described. His words had touched the deepest dream hidden in her heart.
Sora answered without hesitation, "Of course you can."
Hinata hesitated before asking quietly, "Then what should I do? I'm very clumsy, and I can't even defeat my little sister."
Her voice was sweet and gentle, yet filled with timidity and a complete lack of confidence.
After all, she knew her own strength better than anyone.
