Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

Chapter 133 Unexpected Visitor
weekend.

"Grey Glass, we'll be going out on a mission for the next few days, so you'll have to eat by yourself."

"Oh."

A clean and indifferent voice echoed in the air.

The smell of burning occasionally drifted on the wind.

Might Guy and Kakashi looked at Gray, who sat cross-legged in the center of the training field for an entire day, and shook their heads helplessly.

It can't be rolled up.

It's definitely not something you can win against.

No matter how hard they trained, the gap between them and Gray Glass didn't seem to be narrowing; in fact, it seemed to be widening.

This monster eats only one meal a day, and each meal is enough to feed ten people.

The eight shadow clones cultivated together with the main body, sitting on the ground every day without moving, and their bodies began to grow stronger with a crackling sound.

People who are more talented than you are also more hardworking than you. How can you even compare?

Kakashi also secretly learned how to train using Shadow Clone Technique. He would create two clones and practice for about three hours, then lie on the ground for a long time after the clones dissipated.

Guy could endure it, but he was a pure taijutsu ninja, so training was like not training at all; he just suffered without gaining muscle.

Gradually, the two of them came to terms with it.

There might only be one of these monsters in the whole world, so there's no need to push yourself so hard. Just keep training every day without letting up.

The excessive enthusiasm sparked by Gray Glass subsided, and life gradually returned to normal.

With the existence of Hui Li, this human-shaped money-devouring beast, Guy keeps an eye on the new missions in the Hokage Building every day. Recently, there's a mission with good rewards to hunt down rogue ninjas.

According to intelligence, the other party is a highly skilled martial artist with strong counter-surveillance abilities.

Kakashi was in charge of tracking and reconnaissance, while Guy was in charge of physical combat; everything was just right.

"The money is in the second drawer by the bed. Take it out if you need it. We're leaving now."

"Uh-huh."

Hui Li squinted and gave a perfunctory reply, her attention entirely focused on her own body.

Blue-purple lightning rapidly coursed through the muscles, and the cells throbbed with joy, absorbing the power of the lightning and unleashing a deeper level of vitality.

After these few days of training, her body's ability to withstand lightning has noticeably increased.

The Lightning Release Chakra Mode suited her so well that almost every time she trained, she could clearly feel her body becoming more active and flexible.

The body, which had previously felt incredibly heavy, now felt as light as if a burden had been lifted. The reflexes activated by Lightning Release, combined with the Byakugan's perceptive abilities, caused everything around him to slow down.

Watching helplessly as their weakness of not being flexible enough was gradually overcome and even began to become a strength.

The feeling of comfort was so intense that she became somewhat addicted to it and couldn't extricate herself.

After the joyful training in Lightning Release, every night, various experience packs of nature transformation, taijutsu, and form transformation would be released little by little from the depths of his mind.

I might have just had an idea for a water-style ninjutsu today, and within two days I've already built up the framework.

When you encounter a problem that you can't solve and get stuck in a bottleneck, then suddenly some kind of escape technique breaks through and solves the previous problem.

A few days later, it was discovered that this nearly completed ninjutsu had an unchangeable flaw, and it was ruthlessly discarded. The techniques it contained were transformed into nourishment, becoming an important cornerstone supporting the framework for the development of new ninjutsu.

She's almost addicted to this kind of life!

If only the Corpse Bone Pulse were a little more obedient.

Hui Li thought regretfully.

The Lightning Release stimulated increased physical activity, and the strengthening of flesh and blood seemed to have created a chain reaction with the Corpse Bone Pulse.

The gray bone tissue spread more and more rapidly.

The spine and limb bones resemble bananas that have been left out for too long, covered in spots. In some areas, the spots even connect with each other, forming a spider web-like structure.

Even the periosteum under the skin has started to show some strange patterns.

For this reason, she even had 'Ninja School Gray Glass' specifically seek out Kurama to gather intelligence.

At first, Kurama was rather arrogant and unwilling to talk. Later, Hui Li coaxed and tricked him into revealing some information from the original work in exchange for it, and only then did she manage to get a couple of sentences out of him.

It had never witnessed Hamura's power, but had only heard some information about it from 'that one'.

The Byakugan is the starting point of all intangible power, while the Ash Bones are the end point of all tangible things. Hamura's power is completely opposite to the nature of the power he inherited.

Nine-Tailed Fox only gave these two sentences and then ignored Gray Glass.

These two sentences are enough; Hui Li has already deduced a lot of information by combining the original work with the information provided.

Hamura and Hagoromo have opposite powers.

If we consider the Rinnegan with tomoe as the ultimate form of 'invisible power,' or the endpoint of dojutsu evolution, then the Byakugan, which every Otsutsuki is born with, is the starting point of dojutsu.

Then, taking the immortal body, which contains immense vitality, as the starting point of life, the ashes filled with the aura of decay and death represent the end of all things.

The two brothers each divided Kaguya Otsutsuki's power in half, but it was clear that the younger brother suffered a great loss.

The Byakugan, as a source of eye techniques, is not as powerful as the Rinnegan, which directly reaches the end point. While the All-Killing Ash Bones technique is powerful, it also has significant side effects and is not as adaptable to the Sage Body, which is full of vitality.

This can also be seen in their descendants.

The descendants of Yu Yi divided his power, and both the Asuras and Indras became incredibly powerful.

Hamura's descendants inherited two disadvantageous forces; neither the Hyuga nor the Taketori ancestors had any renowned masters.

Hinata and Kimimaro are probably the epitome of Hamura's descendants. Pure eye power is useless, and there are no offensive eye techniques. The Shikotsumyaku, which combines offense and defense, is indeed powerful, and its speed and strength in absorbing chakra are even more powerful.

The combination of the two is what we know now as Hai Ri. He is indeed strong, but as he gets older, his death may be even more tragic than Neji and Kimimaro combined.

Hopefully, 'Yang Release: Gray' can discover something truly valuable from medical ninjutsu!

She has already thought about it.

As long as the Yang Release clone can find a direction to strive for, she can make all the shadow clones, including the main body, concentrate their efforts on prioritizing the development of the Reverse Eight Gates.

If you can't get any results from your research and can't find a direction.

She used those two years to develop rapidly, and once she had fully reached the Shadow level, she rushed into the root lair to snatch the 'interstitial cells' for a life-or-death injection.

She doesn't want to take this path unless absolutely necessary.

Danzo is not an easy opponent to kill; Root has many masters of various secret techniques.

The difference between one-on-one combat and group attacks is enormous.

Now much stronger, if Hui Li were to face Ye Yuexiong again, she could at most suffer minor injuries and defeat him if she played well. However, if there were two Ye Yuexiongs, she would be in a tough fight, and if all three attacked at once, she would definitely die.

Unless you are two levels stronger than your opponent, it is very difficult to make up for the difference in numbers.

Hui Li calmed down, closed her eyes, and continued to practice the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

All the difficulties and troubles we face today are essentially due to insufficient firepower.

Controlling the lightning to flow through my veins brings power, and I enjoy the wonderful, tingling sensation in my muscles, like a massage. Before I know it, dusk is approaching.

dong dong dong...

Boom boom!

An unusually heavy yet incredibly familiar sound of footsteps suddenly rang in Hui Li's ears. The voice sounded like A Kai, who was cultivating while carrying heavy stone crystals.

“Ah Kai, you’re not going to…” Hui Li raised her head, but suddenly froze, her deathly gray pupils contracting in disbelief.

The newcomer seemed quite satisfied with Hui Li's reaction, pressing down with both hands, his eyes curving into two crescent moons.

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly."

……

Let's rewind three hours.

Konoha Hospital.

In a makeshift classroom converted from a conference room, Chihaya Toru leaned against a small blackboard beside him, while two rows of teenage ninjas sat below.

They were all sweating, their hands raised above the table, emitting a green light that illuminated the carp on the table in front of them, whose gills were still moving. A dozen pairs of black and white fish eyes simultaneously gleamed with an eerie light.

"I have said it many times before, the most important part of medical ninjutsu is control."

Chihaya Toru, holding a piece of chalk between two fingers through a damp cloth, angrily wrote the word 'control' in large characters on the blackboard, emphatically circling it at the end.

"Uncontrollable life energy can cause horrific deformities at the patient's wound site. If your chakra is too strong, it can even affect the underlying logic of cell division, causing strange things to grow on the wound."

With narrowed eyes, Chihaya Toru looked down at the irritable girl whose green light in her palm was larger than everyone else's.

"I once witnessed a young man with super strong chakra who turned an ordinary person who was just suffering from food poisoning into a 'toad' covered in tumors."

Believe me, classmates, the highly corrosive life force is definitely no less lethal than the violent lightning release. The tactic of brute force creating miracles doesn't work with medical ninjutsu.

Encountering a targeted attack, 'Yang Release: Gray Glass' bit her lip and reduced her chakra output even further.

The carp on the table, which had been in pain, suddenly quieted down, but its panting gills also quieted down, rising and falling only once every long while, it was unclear whether it was panting or convulsing.

She encountered a problem.

She encountered a problem in the most unexpected place.

Whether it's the Corpse Bone Pulse or the Nine-Tails' power, there's no need for control when healing the body. As long as there's enough chakra, all sorts of strange wounds can heal on their own.

Even her 'physical manipulation', while the release process appears very precise, is actually extremely simple.

The Byakugan's pupil power directly issues commands, and the body activated by the Corpse Bone Vein will execute them automatically, without any need for its master, Hui Li, to worry about it.

She's like a king; all she needs to do is provide the energy to realize her grand ambitions, and her Corpse Vein subordinates will automatically make her ideas come true.

However, medical ninjutsu is different; the entire process is done manually.

The healing of wounds in the human body is completed by cells on their own, and the physiological process is delicate and meticulous. However, once medical ninjutsu is used, medical ninjas must manually restore these physiological activities one-to-one, which requires extremely high operational precision.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't be a problem for Hui Li, who has the Byakugan to assist her.

The key to the problem lies in her abnormal chakra.

After absorbing the Three-Tails and Nine-Tails, her chakra quality was extremely high, and she naturally possessed a portion of Yang attribute. At this point, when she used medical ninjutsu, the effect was not just good, but extremely domineering.

If a normal person receives treatment with 'a wisp' of chakra, her use of 'half a wisp' will cause the wound to deform.

Medical ninjutsu is extremely difficult, and as a transfer student, Hui Li lacked a foundation in physiology, coupled with the interference of chakra, her learning progress slowed down considerably.

Of course, the learning progress is slow, not the treatment speed.

The fish's internal wound had actually been healed long ago; it was just that some fleshy growths had formed in certain areas, and the excess flesh was pressing on its internal organs, causing it pain.

no way.

To save the innocent life of the carp, she secretly used her wind magic to cut open its belly, remove all the excess flesh, and then treated it again.

After repeating this several times.

This fish looks like it's about to die.

breathe……

The fish's mouth opened and closed weakly, its eyes bulging out as it looked at the sky with a lifeless expression.

Faced with Miss Sun's slow and agonizing treatment, its fish life had become numb...

Fluttering!

The dying carp suddenly became active, its tail thrashing powerfully.

Raising her hand to block the fishy-smelling water, Hui Li withdrew her fingers from the fish's body, and the blue-purple electric light flashing at her fingertips quickly dimmed.

Medical Ninjutsu: Electroshock Therapy.

"Oh! Someone succeeded! That fish is so energetic!"

"It's that Sun-Chasing Gray Glass..."

"Truly a genius!"

The students who were learning medical ninjutsu together were immediately drawn to what was happening here.

His gaze first fell on the lively carp with envy, and finally turned to the genius girl in front of it with admiration.

Chihaya Tohru on the stage was also attracted by the 'vigorous' vitality shown by the koi fish. She put down the chalk, took a few steps over the steps and walked to Hairi's side.

Flutter, flap!

The carp struggled desperately on the table, its tail slapping wildly against the surface, as if cheering for Hui Li's excellence.

Chihaya frowned and looked down at it, but after a while, her brows relaxed.

"Full marks!"

He then led the applause.

clap clap clap...

The other students were inspired and applauded and celebrated for Hui Li.

No one witnessed the killing of the elite Jonin, but the fact that he was able to successfully heal the injured Koi on his first attempt at medical ninjutsu has earned him everyone's recognition for his talent.

Faced with her classmates' misunderstanding, Hui Li awkwardly licked her lips, unsure how to explain.

Phew…puff…

Bubbles escaped from the fish's mouth, and its powerful body became sluggish. Hui Li pursed her lower lip and gently patted the fish's head.

Zizi!

A tiny electric current, barely perceptible to the naked eye, surged from the palm of the hand.

Crackling sounds!

With its eyes rolled back, the carp instantly became active and thrashing about again, and the gazes of the crowd toward Hui Li grew even more fervent and admiring.

Just a moment.

Ring ring ring!
The alarm clock made a crisp sound.

Whew... Hui Li breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the fish by the tail, and threw the carp, which had begun to smell fragrant, into the red plastic bucket next to the table.

Chihaya wiped her palms with a wet tissue, then rolled up her sleeves to reveal a pale gold watch.

"Okay, time's up. I'll leave you with some homework."

"Save the carp in your hands. I won't check if it's the same fish as today's. Don't lie to me, and don't lie to yourselves. Okay, get out of class dismissed!"

hula la...

The students, carrying buckets of water, scattered and left.

"Grey Glass, could you stay for a moment?"

Hui Li, who was carrying a bucket and pondering how to deal with the carp, saw the teacher call her over. Feeling guilty, she put the already pale carp behind her back.

Seeing this, Chihaya Toru smiled despite her malnourished face: "Stop torturing that carp. Medical ninjutsu is not such a simple thing."

“You noticed,” Hui Li said, putting the bucket back on the ground.

"You've almost cooked it perfectly. If I still can't tell the difference, should I even be a doctor?"

After packing her belongings, Chihaya Toru looked at Hairi and smiled:

"Without knowledge of physiology, you will never be able to get started with medical ninjutsu. I have several professional books on medical ninjutsu in my collection, written by Tsunade herself, which are much more detailed than the textbooks you are reading now."

Would you like to come and take a look?

Faced with Chihaya Toru's tempting invitation, 'Yang Release: Gray' quietly raised her eyes.

beep...

Golden and black light intertwined above Chihaya Toh's head, the colors distinct yet intertwined.

Half good and half evil.

It's hard to tell.
