Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

Chapter 115 The Most Terrifying Spear

Four emerald green dots formed a straight line, and the cells were frantically squeezed to produce life force, which was then infused into the core of the heart seed under the power of the Eight Gates Formation.

Hui Li felt a sudden brightness before her eyes.

It felt as if a door had been opened in my mind.

His heart instantly transformed into a mountain spring, gushing forth boundless deep blue chakra that flowed along the meridian channels, instantly filling the slightly empty meridians with chakra.

Gum!

Gum!

Transparent chakra bubbles slowly overflowed and floated lightly into the sky.

An eerie, pale red vine-like garment climbed up the bone armor.

The pale white exoskeleton seemed to be filled with flesh and blood, becoming plump and full, with the excess chakra gathering at the tail to form an illusory fiery red tail.

Whoohoo!
The wind howled.

Her silver hair danced like snakes in the wind.

With all four gates wide open, she unleashed her full power in her Tailed Beast Cloak, and for the first time in the ninja world, Hui Li displayed her unique and invincible form.

The skin beneath the bone armor was slightly flushed red, the massive amount of chakra generated by the burning of life force supporting the high energy consumption of the Tailed Beast Cloak.

An immense power surged through his body, and Hui Li felt he had never been so powerful before.

The expanding chakra circulated rapidly, as if it were about to break free of the shackles of her physical body and destroy everything around her. Even her Byakugan was struggling to control it.

The flame-like outer garment vibrated and produced bubbles.

The water vapor in the sky gathers under its influence, seemingly creating an artificial rain.

"A tailed beast cloak!? You're a jinchūriki?"

Ye Yuexiong recognized the ability that Hui Li was using at a glance.

He personally participated in the Cloud Village's pursuit of the most notorious criminals in history, the Gold and Silver Brothers. He also witnessed the entire duel between the Third Raikage and the rampaging Eight-Tails.

He knew both Brubi and Killer Bee, the two generations of Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, and the former was his classmate and friend.

He was even more familiar with the Tailed Beast Cloak, a standard Jinchūriki technique, than some Jinchūriki themselves.

At this moment, he finally realized that the red chakra that initially resisted the lightning release was the power of the tailed beast.

Could it be that the information about the 'Beast' is wrong, and the monster boy that everyone in Konoha hates is just a decoy, while this girl who looks like a human on the surface but is actually not normal at all is the real Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?

Or is this girl a pseudo-Jinchūriki, similar to Kinkaku or Ginkaku?

Seeing that he used the Tailed Beast Cloak with great ease and that Hui Li did not show any abnormal state under the influence of chakra, the knowledgeable Yotsuki Yu had already vaguely guessed Hui Li's true identity while pondering.

Those who can freely use the tailed beast's chakra are either pseudo-Jinchūriki like the Kinkaku brothers, or the legendary perfect Jinchūriki.

If the opponent were a perfect Jinchūriki, it wouldn't have taken him this long to fight; he could have easily killed him by borrowing the power of the Tailed Beast.

That leaves only the possibility of a pseudo-Jinchūriki.

"A pseudo-Jinchūriki who devoured the flesh of a Tailed Beast?"

Although the sentence was a question, Yotsuki Yu's tone was very certain.

Having seen through the enemy's identity, Yoru Tsuki no longer dared to be careless.

Hell Thrust's four fingers become three, and endless lightning transforms the fingertips into sharp swords. No matter what secrets the opponent holds, they are destined to die under his Hell Thrust.

Hui Li raised an eyebrow, carefully shielding her body behind the shield with her left hand and her right hand, holding a shield and a sword.

This was the first time in her life that she had revealed this ability in battle, and her true abilities were exposed, which made her feel quite ashamed.

This old guy knows the techniques of the Third and Fourth Raikage, and can even casually reveal secrets like the pseudo-Jinchūriki formed by devouring Tailed Beasts. He must be a core figure in the Hidden Cloud Village.

Why would a master of this caliber come to Konoha to trade lives with her?

Completely baffled, Hui Li could only accept her bad luck and hide her body even more tightly.

Her shield enhances her defensive capabilities, but that's only one aspect.

Most importantly, it can effectively block the enemy's line of sight.

Not everyone can use X-ray vision like Gray Glass. Obstructed vision increases the probability of mistakes, preventing the enemy from achieving ultimate precision in their attacks.

During Hell Thrust's charge, its speed was so great that even the developer, Third Generation Rai, couldn't easily change direction. She didn't believe Yozuki Yu could do it.

With the self-healing ability of the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse), as long as she is not hit in a vital area, she can slowly recover with chakra.

That old woman's life is worthless, but hers is very valuable.

There's no need to fight him to the death.

She just needs to stall and wait for Konoha's reinforcements.

If it weren't for the fact that lightning escaping is too fast for her to outrun, Hui Li would already be preparing to run away.

A sudden silence fell over the air.

Hui Li focused her attention completely, imprinting Ye Yuexiong's image firmly into her mind.

The strongest spear, condensed from within, seemed to have tamed the Lightning Release, remaining docilely at its fingertips, unlike the Lightning Release known for its ferocity. However, the chakra gathered within it was becoming increasingly terrifying.

Time passes little by little.

The two figures, one in blue and one in red, facing each other, seemed to transform into two statues under the moonlight.

It seemed as if even breathing had stopped.

Sweat dripped down their foreheads at the same time.

Roar!
The herd of beasts surrounding the two roared incessantly.

The two were completely focused on each other's bodies, oblivious to the wild beasts. What would be deadly to ordinary people was no different from the overgrown weeds in the forest in their eyes.

They were even just passing through during the battle.

They would all tear these beasts to pieces.

Sudden.

A massive chakra, as large as the blazing sun, appeared in Hui Li's field of vision, and his Byakugan, with its 360-degree vision, instinctively looked in that direction.

Oops!

In that instant of distraction, Hui Li knew something was wrong.

He raised the shield in his left hand to his face, protecting his head and face.

Zizi!

An electric arc flashed.

Having fully charged up his power, Ye Yuexiong roared and transformed into a bolt of lightning, shooting towards Hui Li.

The earth was blasted into a deep pit by his footsteps, and the Hell Thrust - Three-Handed Strike fiercely pierced her head, determined to kill her with a single blow.

at this time.

In his Hell Thrust state, Yoruzuki's speed increased to another level.

Hui Li felt a blur before her eyes, and in an instant, Ye Yuexiong, who was dozens of meters away, was already close to her with Lei Ming.

Thick, dark, muscular arms!
The blinding lightning at her fingertips had completely filled her field of vision.

A sharp, needle-like pain shot through my brow, a warning sign. My brain felt like it was filled with lead, and even my thoughts seemed to freeze at breakneck speed.

Boom!

The lightning spear pierced through the shield the instant it touched it, offering almost no resistance.

Broken bone fragments flew outwards.

Bullets usually riddle wild beasts that get too close with holes.

The lightning spear pierced through the shield and collided fiercely with the tailed beast cloak on the bone armor. But how could the tailed beast cloak covering the entire body compare to the strongest spear that had been condensed?

Half a second.

In less than half a second, the Tailed Beast Cloak was shattered by the Hell Thrust. The chakra within Gray surged wildly, and the precious time bought by the Tailed Beast Cloak finally allowed her to react.

They dared not get close to this invincible and strongest spear.

Hui Li managed to dodge the fatal blow that could have blown her head off.

The lightning spear passed by Gray Glass's face, severing a few strands of hair, before continuing its momentum, smashing through countless large trees before finally stopping.

boom!
Just then, the sound of Ye Yuexiong's footsteps echoed slowly from afar.

His speed had long surpassed the speed of sound. *Thud!*

pat!

Blood dripped down under the influence of gravity, staining the stark white bone armor crimson. Hui Li raised her head; half of her helmet had vanished, revealing her delicate profile with bloodied flesh exposed, exposing her stark white teeth.

Block out pain receptors.

Gray Glass stared expressionlessly at the majestic body in the distance, where lightning once again gathered at its fingertips.

The Third Raikage's strongest spear was indeed powerful. Not only could it not react to attacks that exceeded the speed of sound, but its powerful penetrating force rendered even steel-like bones almost useless.

Her helmet was shattered after being merely grazed by the lightning spear.

The impact tore half of her face apart with the force of the shattered bone fragments.

Fortunately, the periosteum acts as a protective layer, and the bone fragments only break through the protective layer of the periosteum before losing their power.

otherwise.

Her brain had been pierced by her own bones.

Tick ​​tock!

drop……

The continuously flowing blood suddenly transformed into streaks, flowing back into the wound on the side of the face. The flesh on the face writhed, squeezing out the broken bone fragments, and countless granulation tissues emerged to intertwine and heal the wound.

呲呲!

Boiling steam evaporated from her face, and pink, tender flesh regenerated on Hui Li's rotten cheek.

"Controls blood flow and accelerates self-healing."

Yoruichi, who had been observing the entire exchange, grinned and pointed his fingertips back at the monster in front of him. With each encounter, his opponent always managed to come up with something new.

But her limits were already clearly exposed in the recent exchange.

He has many abilities but lacks strength; he can neither dodge nor defend against his Hell Thrust.

Death is only a matter of time.

In his heart, Ye Yuexiong had already issued a death sentence to Hui Li.

Hui Li herself was also aware of this.

Although she has many methods, none of them can rival the Hell Spike.

The First Style Sky-Splitting Armor-Piercing Technique has the potential to break through Lightning Release Armor, but attempting to counter Hell Thrust would be humiliating. The Vacuum Cannon, which I just developed, requires a long charging time and is similarly unsuitable for fighting against high-speed ninjas skilled in Lightning Release.

Water Release techniques are slow and conductive, making them impenetrable to ordinary Wind Release techniques.

The Corpse Bone Pulse and Tailed Beast Cloak are insufficient for defense.

Despite her numerous methods, Hui Li found herself in a predicament where she had run out of ideas.

What bad luck.

Elite Jonin with average defensive capabilities would be torn apart by Wind Release techniques if they got close to her, but they never expected to encounter a powerful person who was proficient in Lightning Release Armor and Hell Thrust.

As the saying goes, one force can break all laws.

If the extremely fast Hell Thrust wasn't stopped, she would have a hard time even reacting, let alone figuring out how to fight back—that would be a pipe dream.

She also discovered the weakness of Hell Thrust.

All ninjutsu that require chakra have no secrets in the face of the Byakugan.

The principle behind Hell Thrust is to concentrate all the chakra in the hand to form a lightning spear.

With a fixed amount of chakra, the more energy is concentrated in the hands, the less energy is available in other parts of the body. Therefore, the stronger the attack power of Hell Thrust, the weaker the defense of Lightning Armor.

The strongest spear that pierces through everything and the strongest shield that defends against everything—this contradictory description is essentially because the two ninjutsu cannot coexist.

Even the weakest Lightning Release Armor is not something that can be broken by ordinary attacks.

Unless she doesn't dodge the enemy's attacks and chooses to use the "Sky-Splitting Technique" to trade her life for hers, she simply won't find an opportunity to attack.

Ugh... What should I do?
Hui Li's brain raced, trying to find a way out of the predicament. His Byakugan's 360-degree vision quickly focused on the childish figure in the distance, which contained a huge amount of chakra.

That was the culprit that had just distracted her!

This might be her lifeline now.

Without giving Hui Li much time to think, Ye Yuexiong covered his chest wound with his left hand and once again condensed dazzling lightning with his right hand aimed at Hui Li.

woohoo...

The tailed beast cloak reappeared.

The Eight Gates provide a sufficient amount of chakra for the time being, and with the Tailed Beast Cloak blocking the Hell Thrust, her life is still relatively safe. Perhaps... it's worth taking a little risk.

Hui Li's eyes were solemn; she had made up her mind.

Body surface.

The grotesque exoskeleton disintegrated rapidly.

……

A strong wind blew the weeds close to the ground.

A terrifying explosion was heard, accompanied by a shockwave that spread outwards.

Seeing the fiery red in the center of the battlefield suppressed by the azure blue, seemingly powerless to fight back, Naruto lay on the tree trunk, his fingers anxiously digging into the bark, his azure eyes now filled with the disheveled figure radiating red light.

He is back.

Due to their injuries, Shikamaru and his friends were slow to move and were unable to break out of the training ground or find any teachers to rescue them.

A moment of crisis.

He came up with a solution that even he himself wasn't sure about.

boom!
far away.

The lightning, as fast as a razor, pierced through the fiery red chakra once more.

Gray Glass tumbled awkwardly to dodge the thrust, his body wounded from who-knows-where, the gushing blood soaking through his clothes. His red defenses, pierced several times, dimmed.

Everything before him was telling Naruto:

His best friend at the ninja academy was nearing the end of her life.

No longer hesitate.

Naruto braced himself and jumped down from the tree.

If Hui Li dies, then there will be one less person in the world who doesn't hate him, and... he simply cannot accept that reality.

Tread...tread...

Stepping on the withered branches and fallen leaves, Naruto mustered his courage and walked towards the blue figure in the center of the battlefield!
Yoru Tsukiyuki clutched his chest, breathing heavily. The wound on his chest was worsening, and with the repeated use of Hell Thrust, his stamina and chakra were gradually failing him.

But the girl in front of him seemed to be in a much worse situation than him.

Her cloak was ripped apart, her entire body was stained red with blood, and the tailed beast cloak covering her body was reduced to a thin layer, almost completely gone. Clearly, her chakra was also nearly exhausted.

One more Hell Thrust will surely kill this monster.

Chakra light emanated from his fingers.

Sudden.

A figure in orange quickly ran between the two, spreading his arms to shield the blood-covered girl behind him, his azure eyes fixed intently on Ye Yuexiong.

No words are needed.

The outstretched arms of the person who came showed their determination.

Covered in blood, Hui Li looked at the back of the figure with the vortex symbol blocking her way and felt a little relieved.

It was worth it for her to suppress her self-healing ability and force herself to bleed so much.

Naruto, or rather Kurama (the Nine-Tails), has finally joined the battle!

He is still young, so even if he unleashes the power of the Nine-Tails, it won't be too strong.

Hui Li didn't expect to kill the enemy directly with the Nine-Tails. She just wanted Naruto to distract the enemy so that her first move, Rift Slash, could accurately hit the enemy's pressure points.

As long as the Wind Release can be unleashed from within, even the most terrifying Lightning Release Chakra Mode can only obediently await its death.

This was the only way she could think of to break the deadlock.
