Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

Whoosh!

A strong wind howled, and strands of hair flew wildly.

The pure black root cloak and the Third Hokage's divine robe were lifted by the wind, the doors and windows shook and vibrated incessantly as if electrocuted, and the thick pile of documents on the desk fluttered erratically like snowflakes.

Kaka...

The reinforced concrete platform continued to crack, and the mesh steel, which could bear several tons, began to twist and deform, emitting creaking sounds.

Looking at the almost unresponsive Hai Ri, Hiruzen Sarutobi's neck veins bulged, and his cheeks turned a deep red. He could squeeze raw charcoal into diamond-thick fingers and grip Hai Ri's tiger's mouth tightly, but he couldn't budge him an inch.

This is impossible!

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who always had a smiling face like the neighbor, now had a sliver of white in his eyes, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were smoothed out in surprise, revealing a hint of fear amidst his fierceness.

Because he was proficient in all of Konoha's Five Elements Release Techniques, Genjutsu, and all taijutsu styles, he was given the refined title of 'Professor of Ninjutsu' by the outside world.

But his greatest strength is still his superb physical skills.

Especially his physical strength.

He formed a spiritual contract with the Ape Demon, and once entered Flower Fruit Mountain to cultivate fire escape techniques, where he also obtained a treasure known as the Immortal Peach.

After taking the medicine, he followed the ape tribe to practice the Vajra Body. Although he ultimately failed because his body could not withstand it, his physical strength became extraordinary.

Without needing any ninjutsu enhancements, he was even able to fight tailed beasts with pure taijutsu in his youth.

This was his capital that allowed him to dominate the battlefield during the Second Shinobi World War, and it was also his proudest strength. Even if the First Hokage were alive, he could never suppress him with pure arm strength.

Moreover, Hui Li didn't even feel any force exertion; her palms were merely resting on the table, allowing him to thrash her vigorously, just like when he was playing around with Konohamaru at home.

His upper and lower molars ached and throbbed from clenching, and Hiruzen Sarutobi stomped his feet, creating small craters in the ground.

The immense force poured down like a tidal wave, enough to overturn even the Nine-Tails, but the palm in front of it remained as if embedded in a stone platform, completely unmoved.

How could there be such a big difference?

He had considered the possibility that he might be defeated by Hui Li with difficulty, and he also considered the possibility that the other party might use some unexpected tricks to win.

But he never expected to be so thoroughly crushed. He didn't use any of the countless ways he could think of to strengthen himself, such as the Eight Gates, Lightning Release Chakra Mode, or the Tailed Beast Cloak. He was simply suppressed by pure physical strength.

Am I really getting old?
He couldn't help but fall into self-doubt, and a long-forgotten feeling of powerlessness rose in his heart.

Creak!
By this time, the flat stone platform had been pressed into deep pits and ravines by the two men's elbows, and some of the pebbles had been ground into fine stone powder.

Hui Li observed and probed Hiruzen Sarutobi's limits little by little, and completely absorbed the opponent's surging power and channeled it into 'Takamagahara'.

Since they want to decide who will lead Konoha in the future by arm wrestling, they naturally need to make the other party fully realize the gap between them.

Only in this way can our future voice be firmly established.

As for the mental damage inflicted on Hiruzen Sarutobi...

Humans cannot speak when they are exerting their full strength, but she could indeed see the emotional sparkles frantically emerging from Hiruzen Sarutobi's head.

Confusion and frustration danced wildly, and all sorts of negative emotions were like embers flying into the sky when burning paper.

As an ordinary ninja without a bloodline limit, Hiruzen Sarutobi, excluding Guy who burns his life force to gain power, undoubtedly stands at the pinnacle of humanity.

But after her complete evolution, she has completely broken free from the human body and entered a new realm that transcends the ninja system!
The phantom of Konoha was reflected in her lifeless eyes. Hai Li was using her ultimate eye technique, born from five years of transformation, absorbing chakra exceeding that of a tailed beast, and further nurtured by the Sage Body of the Reversed Eight Gates and the stimulation of the Ash Bones—

Gao Tianyuan!
Its name comes from the birthplace of the primordial gods in ancient legends, and is also the legendary abode of the gods.

The effect of the left eye is: free and precise manipulation of everything in the body.

It's not a crude control over muscles, bones, fascia, hormones, etc., but rather the ability to freely edit the underlying biological logic of cells, genes, and nerve signals. Combined with the immortality she inherited from Princess Kaguya, her body can undergo countless transformations.

It was only after awakening Takamagahara that she finally understood why she possessed the ability of 'body control', which was itself a manifestation of the initial awakening of her eye technique.

She wasn't too surprised by this eye technique; in fact, she had anticipated it even before her ability awakened. The eye technique in her right eye was Takamagahara's most powerful ability.

Right eye, Takamagahara:
The effect is to consume 90% of her chakra at once and convert it into endless dojutsu rays, which is the gray light that she produced when her dojutsu first awakened.

The light itself exists between the virtual and the real, belonging to the superposition of the two, and cannot be blocked by anything in the real world, similar to the red moonlight that bursts out when Princess Kaguya releases Infinite Tsukuyomi.

However, unlike Infinite Tsukuyomi, Takamagahara does not target living beings or spirits, but rather inanimate objects without will.

Where the endless gray light descends, all inanimate objects will be completely fused with the gray glass, never to be separated again.

Just as Takamagahara released the gray light, it engulfed the entire Leaf Village and spread outwards for tens of kilometers.

From this moment on, the river is her vein, the earth is her muscles, and she can command all the natural energy contained in heaven and earth. 'Konoha' has completely become a part of her body, and nothing that happens here can be hidden from her eyes.

Jiraiya, of course, could not sense the natural energy, because all the natural energy within Takamagahara had become her property, and even entering the state of oneness with nature required her permission.

No one can draw upon the power of heaven and earth in her Takamagahara. Even when using the Five Elements Escape Technique, they cannot take advantage of the environment in the slightest. They can only fight using their own chakra.

Finally, the chakra that had gone out of control and gradually dissipated into the environment would also become a part of her.

Her chakra will grow infinitely through the battles people fight.

This is not over yet!

Her left eye, Takamagahara, grants her the ability to control everything within herself. The 'Konoha' that has become one with her is naturally also part of her 'body'. With the two Takamagahara eye techniques combined, she is the god of this region!
Heaven and earth were born together with me, and all things are one with me.

The realm described by Zhuangzi in his "Free and Easy Wandering" has since become a reality.

Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't competing in strength with the humans standing in front of him, but rather wrestling with the 'Takamagahara', a region whose area is measured in square kilometers.

In a contest of physical strength, no one can defeat Gray Glass in its current state.

Compared to Jiraiya's special state of emptying his mind and merging with the world, she was truly in harmony with the heavens and man at this moment!

Seeing the old man, Sarutobi, whose face was flushed but who still stubbornly increased his strength, Hui Li felt that the other party should have realized the difference between them and no longer intended to bully the elderly.

In the virtual image of the eyes,

A terrifying rumble, like an earthquake, came from a flat ley line about twenty miles from Konoha town. The yellow-green mountain, buried by decaying leaves and plants, bulged like a human biceps, and the yellow-green ground showed exaggerated ravines, each line distinct, like the muscular lines of a living organism.

crunch--

Countless steel bars emitted a piercing wail as they crumbled inch by inch!

The terrifying power of the earth's transformation condensed in Haili's hand, and Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened suddenly, feeling as if his palm was about to be squeezed into a ball of flesh.

Boom!

The stone platform shattered into dust in an instant, and the steel bars broke into several pieces scattered on the office floor. The jade-like arm was heavier than a mountain, firmly holding Hiruzen Sarutobi's twisted hand in the air, like a five-finger mountain pressing down on the Monkey King!
The outcome is now decided!

call!
The hurricane generated by the chakra burst subsided and disappeared, leaving the ground in a mess of scattered documents and shattered steel bars.

Jiraiya stared blankly as the mysterious woman pinned Hiruzen Sarutobi down, utterly unable to believe his eyes.

"The match is over. The winner of this arm-wrestling match is—"

Although shocked, the abstract Jiraiya did not forget his identity and wanted to declare the result of the match, but at this moment he realized that he did not actually know the woman's name.

No one paid any attention to Jiraiya, this oddball. After using medical ninjutsu to heal the cracks in Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand bones, Hairi withdrew her hand.

"Teacher, you flatter me!"

With a complex expression, Hiruzen Sarutobi was instantly jolted awake. His arm trembled and hung limply in the air, and his strong body, congested with blood from overexertion, hunched over once more.

He looked Hui Li up and down, as if he were seeing a monster:

"You...have already taken that step?"

Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha dominated their generation during the Warring States period. If the Kage, who now stands at the pinnacle of the ninja world, had been born in that era, they would have been nothing more than toys for the two of them. Even the tailed beasts, which could bring disaster to various villages, would have been nothing more than large pets in front of them.

Whether he and Danzo were researching Hashirama cells or the Sharingan, it wasn't like Orochimaru who was pursuing bloodline limits, but rather to seek the supreme power of the God of Shinobi and the Asura of the Shinobi World.

Now that he has discovered that Hui Li also possesses this power, he naturally understands that the other party may have already reached that legendary realm.

"It's hard to describe, but that's certainly true!"

Hui Li said calmly, the shadowy image of Konoha changing in her eyes, and the ley lines that had borrowed power twenty kilometers away were quietly calmed down at this moment.

Thanks to Takamagahara's precise manipulation of her left eye, the deep ravines on the ground were quickly filled in, and even the yellowish-green decaying leaves were rapidly restored to their original state. The earth in her hands was like a piece of soft clay, which she could mold however she wanted.

The area illuminated by the light of Takamagahara is, strictly speaking, her physical body. She can almost freely manipulate the material movement of this world, requiring only a negligible amount of chakra.

As for why such a large-scale natural movement could be mobilized while only a small amount of chakra was consumed, she had not yet figured out the underlying principle.

I just felt it might be related to natural energy.

Because she had just awakened her eye technique and discovered the blue outside the village, she had not yet fully mastered this strange eye technique, and her understanding of Takamagahara was less than one percent complete.

Having always used her self-created ninjutsu, which she had mastered by the time she developed it, this was the first time she had experienced the troubles of a black box eye technique.

“It’s…remarkable.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head in amazement, his eyes gleaming with a unique light as he gazed at the newly born God of Shinobi before him.

Hui Li recognized that look; she had seen a similar expression when she visited the zoo to see the giant pandas.

That's normal.

In the past thousand years, only three ninjas in the ninja world have been able to reach the level of Kage.

Two of them relied on the power of Ashura and Indra, but she should be considered the only one who fought her way out of the Super Kage realm using the Byakugan and Shikotsumyaku.

The Byakugan does not significantly increase chakra, and its eye techniques are relatively basic. Awakening the Shikotsumyaku is extremely difficult, and once it begins to erupt, the user is plagued by illness.

She overcame numerous obstacles to develop the Eight Reversal Gates, which allowed her to transcend physical limitations, bloodline limits, and age to reach the pinnacle. In some ways, she is even rarer than a giant panda.

Looking at the mask of the gray glass, Hiruzen Sarutobi realized that not only could he not stop the other party, but probably the entire ninja world could no longer stop him.

After a moment of contemplation, he said with a complicated expression, "Do whatever you want. I will not stop you. I only hope that you can protect Konoha and prevent it from falling into the suffering of war!"

"Thank you for your support, the student will remember it."

Before fighting the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside.

With Hiruzen Sarutobi's support, plus the Root organization under his control and the connections he had built up over the years, all that was left was becoming Hokage. With that, Hairi had peacefully completed the unification of Konoha's power system.

Next, we'll deal with those genius ninjas outside!

Wipe...

Bending over and half-lying on the table, Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly wrote down an appointment scroll, stamped it with the Hokage's official seal, and handed it directly to Hairi: "You are in full charge of all matters related to this exam. If anyone disobeys, just show them this."

After tucking the scroll into his robes, Hui Li nodded to Hiruzen Sarutobi before turning and leaving.

call!
An invisible breeze swept by, and the ground, which had been trampled into deep pits, deformed and became flat again. Twisted and broken steel bars crawled and stuck together on the ground like earthworms. The shattered concrete seemed to reverse time, wrapping the steel bars and returning them to the floor slab.

Even the documents torn to shreds by the strong wind were pieced together, repaired, and then neatly returned to Hiruzen Sarutobi's desk.

The room was completely restored to its original state, but Sarutobi and his apprentice stared blankly at the miraculous scene before them, somewhat at a loss.

"This ability seems to be some kind of magic!"

Although he couldn't achieve a state of oneness with nature, Jiraiya could vaguely sense the fluctuations of natural energy as he looked at the neatly arranged documents on his desk. The ability to smooth out fragile paper with turbulent natural energy was a subtle manipulation that even the immortals of Mount Myōboku couldn't achieve.

"Teacher, who exactly is she?"

He couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him for a long time.

Watching the tall figure disappear outside the door, Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his stiff right hand, his expression a mixture of helplessness at being surpassed by his disciple and a hint of unspoken pride.
"She is my last disciple, the strongest genius in Konoha's history, and the new God of Shinobi—"

"Chasing the Sun's Gray Glass!" (End of Chapter)
