Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

Chapter 187 New Year
The setting sun slanted, and the sky grew dim.

The two people looking up were not looking at Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki.

If she could kill Kaguya Otsutsuki to feed the Ten-Tails' larva, she wouldn't need to plant the Divine Tree anymore. At this point, the easiest target to bully is the naturally disabled Toneri Otsutsuki.

He had not yet obtained the Byakugan and awakened the Tenseigan, and only had some Otsutsuki puppets around him for protection. He might be able to mobilize a little bit of the power of the giant Tenseigan, but that would still make him much easier to kill than Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Besides that, she remembered that in Boruto, there seemed to be some kind of Otsutsuki Isshiki.

However, she had never seen the legendary non-flammable material before she transmigrated. She had only seen videos about this person in some short videos, and her information and memories were very vague. She only knew that he had a skill similar to Ant-Man.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Tenseigan's ability was so abnormal that it piqued her curiosity and made her take a special look, she wouldn't even know who Otsutsuki Toneri was.

"Why would the Otsutsuki clan bring two seeds of the Divine Tree?" The Yang Release clone withdrew its gaze and looked at the main body with a puzzled expression.

"spare."

Hui Li recalled the incantation she had seen inside the sphere sealing technique and said calmly:

"Not all divine trees can bear chakra fruits normally. This is closely related to the quality of the divine tree's seeds, the aptitude of the Otsutsuki clan members it devours, and the energy intensity of the planet it parasitizes."

They have ways to observe and screen the quality of the offerings and the life energy of the planet in advance, but whether the divine tree seed can nurture a chakra fruit can only be known after the parasitic planet blossoms and bears fruit.

If the first seed cannot bear fruit normally, then the second divine tree seed must be activated.

"I see."

The Yang Release clone nodded. The universe is vast and boundless. Even if the Otsutsuki clan wanted to traverse the void, it would take them countless years.

After all, they weren't some makeshift team; it's perfectly normal for them to have some backup plans for such a major undertaking as plundering the energy of an entire planet.

"Once the Divine Tree is planted, we'll probably have to make enemies of the entire ninja world," the Yang Release clone said with some worry.

A large part of her reason for training hard was to obtain the power to stop Kaguya Otsutsuki's resurrection before she destroyed the world. However, if she really planted the Divine Tree in the future, she would become the one who would destroy the world.

“There’s no need to plant trees, and we can’t afford to wait.” Hui Li held the divine tree seed in her palm, her eyes shining with a unique light.

"Although the reversal of the Eight Gates has been initially completed, it is still far from our plan."

plan?

The Yang Release clone was taken aback.

Then he remembered that the original purpose of developing the Reversal Eight Gates was not to alleviate the bloodline disease of the Corpse Bone Vein.

At that time, she had not yet absorbed the Nine-Tails' chakra, and the Ash Bones crisis had not yet erupted. She was researching the Reverse Eight Gates in order to absorb chakra and convert it into life force in order to solve her own problem of insufficient chakra.

Later, after discussing with Chihaya Toru, they used the ability of medical ninjutsu to manipulate life force to bypass the difficult step of converting chakra into life, and thus successfully developed the Reverse Eight Gates.

Currently, while the Eight Gates can absorb life force, it cannot absorb chakra to transform into life force, so it can only be considered half completed.

"Our Reversed Eight Gates is not perfect yet!"

Hui Li clutched the divine tree seed tightly in her palm, as if grasping at a lifeline:
"The divine tree can absorb all the energy on the planet."

Life force, chakra, and natural energy will all be transformed into chakra fruits containing infinite energy. Even a powerful clan like the Otsutsuki clan will be completely devoured by the sapling of the divine tree.

I was worried that absorbing too much tailed beast chakra would cause Kaguya Otsutsuki to revive directly inside me.

However, if one could obtain the power of the Divine Tree, it would be enough to convert the chakra of the nine tailed beasts into pure life force, washing away the mark of Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki among them.

It's equivalent to directly extracting the chakra fruit she devoured and transforming it into our own chakra fruit.

There's no need to plant trees and make enemies of the whole world.

Moreover, if my plan succeeds, Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki will never be able to be resurrected; instead, the whole world will thank me as their savior.

"But the prerequisite for achieving all this is that the Ten-Tails larva must devour the Otsutsuki offerings and transform into a divine tree!"

The Yang Release clone naturally picked up the conversation, a smile on its face, clearly having caught up with the main body's train of thought.

"Woo~"

Samehada sensed its master's pleasure and opened its mouth wide, pointing towards the sky, as if it wanted to follow Kairi to the moon and taste whether the chakra of the Otsutsuki clan was sweet.

"Not urgent."

The Yang Release clone touched Samehada's large head:
"To get to the moon, we need to find that space passage. First, we need to reach the Kage level, kill Danzo, and gain command of Root. Then, we can use Root's intelligence network to find our way, or we can develop flight capabilities to forcibly land on the moon."

In short, given our current strength, it's too early to discuss the Divine Tree.

Hui Li wholeheartedly agreed with the suggestion of creating a clone; rushing to the moon would be like sending warmth to Otsutsuki Toneri.

It's still a long way from Kaguya Otsutsuki's revival, and her Byakugan is still in its infancy. It's unknown when it will fully evolve or what kind of eye technique it will acquire.

The Immortal Body is currently in its nascent stage, while the Corpse Bone Vein is about to enter its third stage, with a power imbalance in between that prevents it from maintaining balance.

She had to devour a large amount of life energy to develop her immortal body to the point where it could contend with the gray bones before she dared to allow the dangerous gray bones to fully evolve.

By then, with the ability to freely control and destroy everything, there will be virtually no one in the ninja world who can stop her. It won't be too late to then plot against the Tenseigan on the moon and Toneri Otsutsuki.

With the bloodstain disease crisis resolved, time was on her side, and there was no need to rush as before.

Looking at the dim sunset in the sky, I realized that evening had arrived without me even noticing.

Hui Li stretched, and the joints of his bones, which were harder than steel, rubbed against each other, producing a clanging sound like metal clashing.

I'm tired.

The life force I've absorbed still needs time to be digested and absorbed. I've been busy developing ninjutsu for the past few months, and now I can finally take a good rest.

"really."

Even the clone of Yang Dun felt that the main body was overworked.

Using shadow clones to accelerate her training has been a long-term solution, even for someone as resilient as Naruto. She was forced to keep up her pace by Ash Bones, but now that everything is moving in the best direction, she really should take a break and relax her tired body and mind.

……

Autumn has passed and winter has arrived; the end of the year is fast approaching.

The sky was shrouded in a gray fog, and the heavy snow fell like willow catkins, seemingly threatening to engulf the entire forest.

The land of the Qimu tribe.

The torch was steaming, and Hui Li was wearing a white onesie plush pajama with a bear-like hood on her head, only her delicate, exquisite face peeking out from the bear's mouth.

Her silver hair fell loosely down her sides. She did a somersault but didn't stand up. Instead, she kicked off the bedding and lay sprawled out on the tatami mat, her short arms and legs making her look like a cute plush toy.

Creak, creak. The bricks beneath her made an unfriendly sound. Her increasingly lustrous white eyes, hidden behind the blindfold, gently turned. Gray Glass was observing the snow scene outside from a unique perspective, only to find that everything above and below was a silvery white.

"Grey Glass! It's snowing so heavily today, aren't you going to go outside to play?"

Akai pushed open the door, bringing with him a gust of cold wind and snow.

Gang Yi's cheeks were slightly flushed, and he was drenched in sweat, radiating heat from his body, clearly having just finished exercising.

"Have you ever heard of hibernating in winter?" Hui Li lay comfortably on her back, her face already half-covered by a black cloth, and her flowing silver hair covering the lower half, making her look especially relaxed!

"What winter?"

Akai clearly hadn't heard of this term from Earth; his resolute face was full of question marks.

"The kitten is very smart. Even when it's freezing outside, it won't run outside and will always stay on the bed inside. In my hometown, we call this phenomenon 'hibernating'."

While explaining a term she had heard from a friend in the north, Hui Li turned herself over, and there was another creaking sound beneath her.

Akai looked worriedly at the newly built platform, wondering how long it could withstand the gray glass.

The large bed in this room had long been worn down by the gray glass bed, and even if a replacement was found, it would still be unable to escape the fate of breaking.

During his inspection and repair, he discovered that the steel bars under the bed board were bent and deformed. He wondered how Hui Li's short body could be so heavy.

Later, all the tables, chairs, and beds in the room were moved out. Hui Li used Earth Release to raise solid blocks of earth, injected chakra to make them heavier and thicker, and even used Earth Release to re-lay the floor, so that he could sleep peacefully.

"You've been sleeping for over two months, get up and move around! Youth is about exercise!"

Akai didn't know what had happened to the former King of Roll.

Ever since he and Kakashi returned from their mission, they found her lying lazily in bed, occasionally disappearing mysteriously for a while before returning to lie there like a corpse. The scariest thing was that she didn't even want to eat. When asked, she would say she wasn't hungry or had already eaten. He and Kakashi hadn't seen her eat a proper meal in a long time.

Later, when he couldn't help but ask, Hui Li simply told him that it was a side effect left over from the development of some kind of secret technique, and it wasn't a bad thing.

He even went to see the third generation for this, but the other party just sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and told him not to bother Hui Li. Judging from his expression, it was as if Hui Li had some terminal illness.

"Don't go."

Hui Li clutched the little bear on her head, burying her face completely inside her clothes. She felt warm all over, as if she were taking a bath in a warm tub.

The effect of reversing the Eight Gates was even more domineering than she had imagined.

After she devoured all the trees and wild animals within a kilometer radius of the waterfall, she suddenly entered this state.

My whole body felt weak and hot, and a warm current kept surging from the deepest part of my body.

The flesh and blood twisted wildly, just like when he had just awakened 'body control'. Even the strong cells that had been filtered by the Lightning Release Chakra Mode were active and full of life under this warm current.

Her mind was floating as if she were riding the wind, but she could clearly feel that her illusory soul was being filled with something, like turning from loose cotton into steel, becoming resilient and full from the inside out.

Teeth, nails, and hair all fall out naturally and grow back quickly, becoming stronger and healthier. Even the skin begins to peel away slowly, replaced by a new, more supple and tender skin.

The immortal body not only allowed Byakugan to enter the fetal movement stage, but also made her feel as if she had returned to the womb, evolving into a higher level of life under the catalysis of infinite vitality.

During this time, she became completely addicted to it.

Once she sensed the effects of her life force weakening, she would run to the Forest of Death and feast, then return to feel the cleansing of life, continuing to lie in bed waiting for her soul and body to be sublimated.

The Yang Release clone specifically asked Senju Tsubaki-hime for information about the Sage Body, but did not get any information from her that was similar to the original body.

One is either born with the body of an immortal, or one can never hope to possess it in their lifetime.

Most members of the Senju clan are born with a Celestial Body, and no one can awaken a Celestial Body through self-cultivation like Hui Li, so naturally there is no one to refer to.

Looking at Hui Li's lazy appearance, Guy shook his head, feeling that this number one genius of Konoha was 'falling' in the same direction as Kakashi!
Since returning from the mission, Kakashi has also started to follow Ash's example and hibernate.

Holding onto the latest version of "Make-Out Paradise" and not letting go, even though she lies in bed every day, she still has big dark circles under her eyes. I wonder what she's busy with every night?
Is the title of 'genius' a curse?
A thought suddenly popped into his mind, but he quickly dismissed it as absurd.

Despite his extraordinary wisdom, Guy was unaware that he had inadvertently touched upon some of the truth: the genius boy of Konoha really did not have a good ending.

"Grey Glass... Grey Glass..."

Just as Akai was trying to figure out how to pull Hui Li off the platform, a burst of excited shouts suddenly came from outside the door.

He knew who it was just by hearing their voice.

During this period, the ninja academy is on winter break, and this blond-haired guy keeps running around here every few days.

There was a gentle knock on the door.

The person who came had a loud voice, but was still very polite when knocking on the door, that's what Akai thought at the time, but he regretted it the moment he opened the door.

"Hello, uncle!"

A boy with a red scarf around his neck, wearing a yellow cotton coat and a vortex clan emblem on the back, pushed up his goggles. His blond hair was wet, and the snowflakes on it were melting quickly.

Uncle, Uncle~~
Upon hearing those two jarring words, Akai seemed to freeze in place, his entire body turning ashen, and he stood motionless for a long time.

I'm only twenty years old!

How did he become an uncle?

Do I look that old?

Although Hui Li was hiding on the bed with her face covered, she already knew Naruto had arrived the moment that vigorous life force appeared out of nowhere.

Byakugan pierced through the black cloth and saw Might Guy, who was petrified by the word "uncle," and couldn't help but find it amusing.

As the saying goes, the more you emphasize something, the more you lack it.

Guy trains hard outdoors all year round, and his face has aged prematurely due to the wind and sun. Although he is very young, he looks more than a decade older than Kakashi.

"Naruto, what brings you here?"

Hui Li brushed the hair off her face to one side, propped herself up, and stood up. The little bear hat on her head drooped its ears, making her look like a large plush toy.

Seeing Hui Li's adorable appearance, Naruto's ears, already red from the wind and snow, turned even redder, and his gruff voice softened into a gentle tone:
Tomorrow is Chinese New Year, wishing you a happy new year!

Done.

He also pulled out a box tied with a bow from his pocket and rubbed his feet against the ground incessantly, as if trying to dig a hole in the earth-elemental enhanced ground.

Seeing Naruto's awkward and hesitant manner, Guy, who was half-petrified, frowned deeply and his small eyes gleamed.

Something's off about this blond guy!
