Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

Chapter 122 Sugar-coated bullets
The conversation on the rooftop quickly came to an end.

Hiruzen Sarutobi pushed Kairi back to the ward, comforted Naruto and Sasuke for a few moments, and then hurriedly left.

The village had just been attacked, and Hiruzen Sarutobi, as Hokage, still had many things to deal with.

They visited the injured students and teachers, comforted the parents of the students who lost their lives in the accident, and provided them with financial compensation.

To provide psychological support to the villagers affected by the unrest and to publicize the students' bravery in this incident.

Finally, Yunyin should be held accountable.

The ninja world has only recently entered a period of peace, and no one is willing to recklessly start a war.

The so-called accountability is nothing more than wrangling and demanding economic compensation, at most organizing secret agents to carry out some small-scale retaliatory actions against enemy countries.

They assassinated two renowned ninjas from Kumogakure and carried out bombings on some important economic facilities.

That's all there is to it.

After all, Konoha's losses were not significant.

Even if he intended to instigate a war, the villagers who were not harmed in the process would not want a war to break out.

In this regard.

Hui Li had no objections.

Of course, it wouldn't matter if she had any opinions.

Although she was the actual victim of this incident and a key figure in resolving it, the power struggle between the two countries is not something a minor character like her can interfere with.

She was already very satisfied with gaining the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Yozuki Yu, relying on the defense and reaction speed of his Lightning Release Armor, bullied her so much that she couldn't use any of her tricks. She was extremely envious of this ability.

After memorizing the training methods for the Lightning Armor on the rooftop, he became even more eager to try it.

Lightning Release Chakra Mode, a B-rank ninjutsu, also known as Lightning Release Armor.

The secret technique of the Yotsuki clan of Kumogakure, developed by the Second Raikage and perfected and popularized by the Third and Fourth Raikage.

That's right, the pure Lightning Release Chakra Mode is a ninjutsu, not a taijutsu.

Only when combined with accompanying techniques such as Hell Thrust or Lightning Strike Thousand-Year Dance can one master ninjutsu.

It is a pity.

It's unclear whether the ninjas of the mountain clan were not skilled enough, or whether Yotsuki Yu had too many brain cells die.

These accompanying ninjutsu techniques are severely lacking in key parts. If one were to attempt to complete them, it would be no different from developing a ninjutsu technique from scratch.

Can only give up.

Fortunately, Yoruzuki had trained in Lightning Armor for many years, so this part was preserved extremely well, allowing Hui Li to glimpse the secrets of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Lightning Release Chakra Mode overturns the more traditional attack mode of the original Lightning Release. Instead of releasing Lightning Release to bombard the enemy, it wraps the Lightning Release around the body for defense.

It is a groundbreaking ninjutsu.

The principle is to first convert chakra into lightning release, and then use lightning release to slowly stimulate the body, improving physical fitness while also training resistance to lightning release.

The stronger the body's resistance to lightning, the greater the power of Lightning Release without harming the physical body.

This manifests as an all-around enhancement in attack, agility, and defense.

In other words, this is a secret technique that uses resistance to attack.

This ninjutsu transforms the Yotsuki clan's exceptionally strong resistance to lightning into a comprehensive physical enhancement through specific techniques. It is a ninjutsu tailored to the Yotsuki clan's unique physique.

No matter how much others train, it will be difficult for them to reach the level of the Night Moon Clan.

If you lose control during the initial training and your own lightning release pierces your heart through your blood vessels, death will be instantaneous, with no chance of rescue.

Therefore, the scroll recording the secret technique states that this technique is rather useless and it is recommended to enter the Book of Seals. When practicing it, it should be done under the guidance of a specialist, preferably with the accompaniment of medical personnel to avoid any danger.

The moment she saw that line of text, she understood why Hiruzen Sarutobi had so easily handed over this secret technique to her.

She has a strong physique and can withstand attacks from lightning.

If it were someone else, not only would they not be able to cultivate, but it would also bring them life-threatening danger, which would be a great loss.

Hiruzen Sarutobi might even have intended to use her as a guinea pig first, and then use her successful experience to help others train after she had mastered the skill.

Even if Hui Li understood his methods, she couldn't possibly leave the secret technique to gather dust and not practice it.

Hiruzen Sarutobi may seem upright and honest, but his methods are all based on cunning and scheming.

The words were so eloquent, the phrase "I didn't embezzle your spoils" leaving you with no room for criticism. If you didn't see through their intentions, you might even feel a little grateful.

Subsequent apprenticeships were even more of a sugar-coated bullet.

He used ninjutsu and power to lure her, but in reality, he was trying to brainwash her with the Will of Fire. Moreover, on this basis, Hiruzen Sarutobi could completely control the progress of her strength.

If she shows any sign of slipping out of control, or does anything that goes against the so-called Will of Fire, the other party probably won't be so amiable.

It's fair to say that within those few words on the rooftop, one pitfall after another was laid out.

What's most terrifying is that there's no malicious emotion on Hiruzen Sarutobi's head.

That's the scariest part.

This shows that these methods are ingrained in his very being. He doesn't harbor any ill will because making these plans is as easy and natural as eating a small piece of bread for breakfast.

Even Hui Li was initially deceived.

Even when he saw the glaring favorability rating above Hiruzen Sarutobi's head, he had the foolish thought of showing off his Byakugan to prove his identity.

The moment that thought crossed her mind, Hui Li instantly woke up.

Only then did he understand the logic behind all of Hiruzen Sarutobi's friendly actions.

Realizing that the Nine-Tails' power wasn't omnipotent, Gray decided to play along.

Pretending to be just a slightly precocious child, he happily swallowed the sugar coating that was offered to him.

As for the calculations behind it.

Insufficient strength is the root of all problems.

Violence is the most convenient way to solve problems.

Once she trains her body to the point where even if a cannonball explodes inside her stomach, it won't hurt her in the slightest. Then, no matter how many sugar-coated bullets she receives, they will only become nutrients for her growth.

Next, I acquired the Lightning Chakra Mode.

The nature transformation of Lightning Release is an area she has not yet explored.

Following wind and water, she will begin training in the third type of chakra nature transformation. Fortunately, she is about to gain a Kage-level teacher, and she can directly obtain the method of lightning release training from the Third Hokage.

The remaining changes in the properties of fire and earth can also be resolved at the same time.

Think about it.

The sugar coating on these cannonballs is really sweet!
……

soon.

The time has come to the third day of the Cloud Village attack.

Ward 203.

Sasuke huddled on the headboard, seemingly lost in thought. Meanwhile, the energetic Naruto assumed a horse stance on the bed, practicing punches on Sasuke's buttocks from a distance.

Hui Li sat cross-legged on the bed, closing her eyes to sense her physical condition.

Gudong!

Gudong!

Bright red blood vessels bulged menacingly, and a heart the size of a fist beat slowly.

Each powerful contraction gave Hui Li a strange sense of tension.

It was as if an invisible hand had gripped her heart, determined to squeeze out all the blood and chakra within.

The chakra seed hidden deep within the heart is like a precious amethyst, flashing on and off with the contraction of the heart, emitting a mysterious purple light.

After absorbing the Nine-Tails' chakra that night, her chakra underwent a dramatic change, and the core of her chakra transformed from a deep blue, like the ocean, into a mysterious and noble shimmering purple.

The changes in quantity and quality are even more pronounced.

It was originally the amount of chakra of an ordinary Jonin.

Her normal chakra level is now slightly less than that of the elderly and frail Yotsuki Yuu, roughly equivalent to a slightly weaker elite Jonin.

The quality far exceeded expectations. She observed with a disdainful look, and after a simple test, she discovered:

Using newly generated, high-quality chakra to perform Wind Release nature transformation, its power is more than twice that of the old version of chakra.

If we count the chakra jets that are ejected from a single acupoint each time she uses the Resurrection Technique, we can call it a unit.

Previously, a single unit of Wind Release chakra could only spray a distance of about three meters. Now, using newly generated chakra, the attack range of a single unit can reach nearly eight meters.

Its power has also been enhanced, but it is not as practical as its attack range.

After all, even if a ninja with strong defenses tried to break through their defenses with just a little bit of chakra, it would be very difficult, even if the power were doubled.

For ninjas with weak defenses, whose flesh and blood are so fragile, whether the power is increased or not, they will still be cut in two in one go, so there is no difference.

Simultaneously.

The Nine-Tails is known for its infinite chakra, not only because of its vast chakra reserves, but also because of its strong chakra regeneration ability.

The newly formed chakra core, as brilliant as amethyst, may have inherited some of the Nine-Tails' properties.

The speed at which chakra is generated is extremely fast.

The chakra consumed when Gray activates his Byakugan is less than the chakra core regenerates per second.

If the power of her ninjutsu is kept at the previous level, her continuous combat time can be extended to three to four times the original.

If we were to put Gray Glass back into Training Ground Zero at this moment...

Even if she slaughtered all the beasts in the training ground, she still wouldn't exhaust her chakra.

Using the newly generated chakra to unleash the First Style: Sky Split, Yotsuki Yuu wouldn't even have a chance to fight back; he would be directly severed by the raging wind that penetrated his body.

Apart from changes in quality and quantity.

Chakra has gained a new function: healing.

It took about a day and two nights, working with the Corpse Bone Pulse, to pull her back from the brink of death to her peak condition.

Beneath the hospital gown, the bandages on his chest were still tightly wrapped, but the skin underneath had already healed, and there wasn't a single scar on his fair skin.

She was afraid that her recovery speed would be too astonishing and frighten the doctors and nurses taking care of her, so she did not remove the mask for the time being.

I plan to talk about it when I get home in a few days.

The changes in chakra are significant, and the changes in the physical body are equally substantial.

Hui Li kept her eyes tightly shut.

His pupil power enveloped his entire body.

The body rejoiced as usual, only the bones that covered the entire body revealed a hint of death.

The field of vision focuses on the skeleton.

The once healthy and shiny white bones now had rings of gray texture on their surface, the color of which resembled the withered bones dug out of a zombie that had been dead for many years, completely lacking the vitality of living human bones.

The quality is even more outrageous.

Her bones, due to their extremely high density, weighed seven or eight times more than equivalent bones. Now, the weight of her bones has increased again, and their density and strength have surpassed those of steel of the same mass.

Since there was no scale, she didn't know exactly how much weight she had gained, but the pure bone weight would definitely not be less than 200 kilograms.

She broke the wheelchair that Hiruzen Sarutobi brought. She asked the hospital nurses, who said that the maximum load capacity of that kind of medical wheelchair was about 150 kilograms.

at this time.

The blood vessels and skeletal muscles attached to the bones are no longer tightly packed.

The fleshy strands activated by the power of the pupils bared their teeth and claws as they moved away from the gray bones, feeling as if weeds in a field had encountered a high concentration of paraquat.

It was a fear of natural enemies.

Is this the ashes of a shared massacre?
Hui Li frowned.

This is not good news.

The first stage of the Corpse Bone Pulse is simply controlling the physical body, but it's not as strong as Gray Glass's. It can stimulate adrenaline to shield against pain and also has a certain self-healing ability.

At this stage, the Corpse Bone Vein is almost safe. You just need to be careful during battles and avoid getting too badly injured and depleting your life force.

The second stage of the Corpse Bone Vein is the state of Hairi and Kimimaro.

There is already a risk of developing hematopoietic stem cell disease.

Based on the synergistic effect of the Byakugan and the Corpse Bone Pulse, she guessed:
It is possible that the Corpse Bone Vein itself causes great damage and pressure to the physical body, and requires a matching immortal body full of vitality to use it without injury.

Just like the Kaleidoscope Sharingan also requires the support of Hashirama cells to alleviate the eye damage caused by each use of the pupil technique.

Now the situation has changed once again.

At that time, too much Nine-Tails chakra entered her body, far exceeding the amount of chakra that Hui Li herself possessed.

Forcibly absorbing it will cause an imbalance of chakra, thus uncontrollably transforming it into the Nine-Tails.

She did a quick calculation of the limit of chakra absorption.

The formula is roughly that the total amount of tailed beast chakra cannot exceed the amount of chakra that Ashura himself possesses. That is, the mixture of the Three-Tails' chakra and the Nine-Tails' chakra can only account for 50% of the total chakra.

The excess was expelled from the chakra core by her.

As a result, most of the Nine-Tails' vibrant chakra was devoured by the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse).

Perhaps the current Shikotsumyaku (Shikotsumyaku) is evolving towards a higher stage under the stimulation of the Nine-Tails' chakra?

The more the Corpse Bone Vein evolves, the higher its requirements for vitality may become.

Can her body withstand such a powerful bloodline ability?

Hui Li opened her eyes with some worry.

The hospital is currently crowded and noisy, making it unsuitable to examine changes in the skeletal veins. Further treatment will have to wait until the patient is discharged.

and.

She rolled her eyes as she saw a group of people walking towards the ward.

Hiss... hiss!
aside.

Naruto, covered in sweat, gasped for breath and pounded the bedding as he threw punches rapidly.

The fist left afterimages in the air.

"Naruto, stop training. I need to tell you something."

Hui Li waved to pause Naruto's training.

Upon hearing Hairi's words, Naruto put down his punching stance, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his wet blond hair instantly transformed into a side-swept fringe.

"what's up?"

"You are not allowed to mention what you saw that night to anyone else."

As the only 'outsider' in the ward.

Sasuke paused his breathing, lying on the bed and silently perked up his ears.

"why?"

"No reason."

Hui Li raised her fist: "If you dare tell anyone, I'll beat you up!"

Recalling the terrifying sight of that gray-faced, fanged, bloodthirsty creature from that night, Naruto immediately shrank back in fear.
"I know, I know!"

stomping on...

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed from the corridor outside the ward, only to be drowned out by the noise of conversation.

Dang Dang Dang!
There was a knock on the door.

Click!

The three of them—Naruto, Ash, and Sasuke—all looked towards the doorway.

I saw.

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Kiba, Shino, Hinata, and Sakura, along with a group of Sasuke's supporters, all rushed in together, numbering over a dozen.

Each of them was carrying fruit and bouquets.

The spacious ward suddenly became crowded.
