Chapter 4
The Zhoutian Breathing Method

The [Circulatory Breathing Technique], besides being able to circulate Qi and blood, simply nourish the internal organs and muscles, also has a set of auxiliary sleeping methods, which Hinata Shichiya calls the "Spiritual Chapter".

With his current knowledge, he could only deduce effective auxiliary sleeping methods, but he naturally named it this way, hoping that in the future he could truly achieve the specialized cultivation of spiritual power.

Some people say, isn't sleeping simple?!

Who doesn't know how to sleep?!

"Previous life research shows that people only spend a small portion of their time in deep sleep when they are asleep..."

"Only in that state, can people truly get the best rest, and all aspects of the body's mechanisms, even the finer details, will be restored..."

"In that state, people's sleep quality is extremely good, even if they only sleep for a few hours, they will feel refreshed, and over time, the body's endocrine system and various functions will be strengthened, which is better than taking any medicine or supplements."

"Unfortunately, in my previous life, many people knew this truth, but those who could control themselves and freely enter deep sleep were rare, at least I never really witnessed it."

"But now, I have the opportunity...!"

Hinata Shichiya thought so, controlling his breathing to gradually slow down, become finer, and lengthen…

Gradually, distracting thoughts decreased, just lying quietly like that.

He did not think about anything...

In a daze, Hinata Shichiya's head suddenly went blank.

His consciousness was very clear, but there were no thoughts in his mind.

His heart was like a pool of clear water, forgetting his transmigrated identity, forgetting the "caged bird", forgetting the breathing technique…

His entire consciousness seemed to drift at the edge of the cosmic space, in the pitch black void...

Enjoying that endless emptiness! ~

And as he breathed long and slow, fine and deep, the minor injuries caused by training in his body were quickly recovering.

…………

After sleeping for four hours, Hinata Shichiya woke up naturally.

His eyes were bright and not dry, his whole body felt refreshed and airy, without any fatigue, he seemed to have never felt so comfortable in these years! ~

His mind was lively and spirited, feeling that everything in nature was so beautiful, relaxed and happy all the time, his mind was also more relaxed and clear than ever…

"With this mental state to practice, it's much more effective than blindly practicing."

"It's the so-called finding joy in it…"

Get up, fold the blanket, wash up.

Coming to the open space in the courtyard, Hinata Shichiya did not start practicing the Gentle Fist Technique right away.

Instead, he began doing several strange, twisted movements, which looked like a bird spreading its wings, a deer shaking its head, a rooster walking… It was soothing and peaceful.

After each set, he would pause for a short period of time, coordinating with the rhythm of the breathing technique.

This set of joint exercises is included in the [Circulatory Breathing Technique], which Hinata Shichiya deduced by integrating the ancient guiding techniques and ancient yoga he knew from his previous life.

Doing them could make the whole body feel very comfortable, and at the same time, stretch the muscles and bones all over the body, making them feel like they've been activated, and the brain felt a sense of excitement, feeling like he could do anything.

Of course, this was a psychological illusion, but having this feeling meant that the warm-up was very effective.

"Ha~~!"

Hinata Shichiya let out a long breath.

This breath was long, as if to expel all the waste gas.

"Now, start practicing the Gentle Fist Technique."

Hinata Shichiya's eyes focused.

The power in his small body began to tighten, like a rope.

"Drink! Ha! ~"

Exhaling and making a sound, Hinata Shichiya practiced the Hyuga's Gentle Fist Technique in a meticulous manner.

He didn't seek speed, beauty, only accuracy of movements, and no loss of center of gravity.

Any skill progresses from unfamiliar to familiar, without a good foundation, blindly pursuing flashy techniques is neglecting the fundamentals.

After a few sets of punches, his body started to sweat slightly, his back was soaked.

Hinata Shichiya adjusted his breathing.

He went back to his room and sat quietly, taking out the human body meridian chart to carefully memorize, ponder, and learn.

The human body in the ninja world has a total of 361 acupoints, which is actually fewer than the people of the Earth star in his previous life. The total number of "correct acupoints" and "odd acupoints" that Earth star people had discovered, before he transmigrated, had already exceeded one thousand!

But there is not much meaning in comparing the two, the physical composition of people in the two worlds is completely different, the names and locations of acupoints are also different, so Hinata Shichiya has to re-learn the human body meridian chart.

This is the thousand-year foundation of the Hyuga clan! ~

Relying on the Hyuga clan's unique "Byakugan" bloodline, they explored the positions of the 361 acupoints and the distribution of meridians in the human body, and based on this, they developed the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist Technique.

The movements and stances of the Gentle Fist can be memorized immediately by those with a good memory, but this detailed explanation of the internal meridian system of the human body is the true secret of the Hyuga clan!!

From then on, every day.

Hinata Shichiya trained like this.

Get up in the morning, do joint exercises to warm up; then, start practicing the Gentle Fist Technique, refine chakra, and train the precision control of chakra; at night, he would start to rest.

He did not start carrying weights early, he is still in his childhood, a five-year-old boy is too young to be called a young man, carrying weights now will affect his bone development and is not conducive to the shaping of his body for fighting.

In his previous life, he didn't have this condition and knowledge, by the time he possessed relevant knowledge of martial arts and fighting, he had already become an adult, his bones were set, missing the best age for shaping his body.

According to Hinata Shichiya's own plan, the current training is mainly focused on balance, flexibility, agility, reaction speed and endurance, etc., high-intensity physical training will have to wait until he is at least fifteen years old.

At that time, until adulthood, it is the period of rapid physical development.

However, that's for ordinary people in his previous life, the ninja world has the existence of chakra, a supernatural energy, maybe it can shorten the time a little?

With the "Spiritual Chapter" of the [Circulatory Breathing Technique], Hinata Shichiya only needed to sleep for four hours a day to be energetic and recover from yesterday's fatigue.

After a year like this.

His Gentle Fist Technique proficiency was not shallow, not only did he learn the Eight Palms of the Eight Trigrams, but he also awakened the Byakugan.

The so-called skill is in the details.

Especially his Gentle Fist Technique contains various strength techniques, these are all the subtle utilization of physical strength, which is also beneficial for the precise control of his chakra...

This makes his Gentle Fist Technique, while not as fierce as Hinata Zongyan's like a raging storm, is like a gentle spring rain, with less fire and smoke.

This is also why Hinata Zongyan values him, at such a young age, he already vaguely has his own fighting style, which many adult Hyuga ninjas cannot do.

He is even somewhat famous in the Hyuga clan, and some people call him a genius behind his back.

"Genius, huh…"

Hinata Shichiya shook his head and chuckled.

"So-called genius, it has nothing to do with me, my bloodline purity is not enough to awaken the Tenseigan..."

"Having my current strength is simply because of hard work, methods, and continuous planning and sticking to it."
