Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

Chapter 25 Final Victory
sieve!
Skeletons trampled through the puddles.

Gray suddenly rushed towards the bloodhound beside him.

Bloodhound turned and ran, but Gray Glass instantly accelerated and caught up, immediately slashing the bone knife down towards Bloodhound's back.

when!
The sharp bone blade did not easily cleave the bloodhound in two as Gray Glass had expected; instead, it bounced off his back.

Hui Li's wrist trembled slightly, and the rebounding force from her wrist made her wonder if she had struck a small mountain.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the bloodhound escaped instantly.

He gave me a disdainful look.

The bloodhound's skin, hidden beneath his robe, was covered with a dense layer of Earth Release chakra.

"Hardening spell," Fog Raven's disgusting voice echoed around them. "Young lady, what are you going to do?"

Ignoring the verbal attacks from Mist Raven, Gray Glass was also thinking about how to break the deadlock.

The elite members of the Hidden Mist's Dark Side are truly formidable.

Even with their best physical and illusion techniques countered, they are still extremely difficult to deal with.

A burst of power at its limit would leave the user in a brief six-second vacuum, making it difficult to sustain stamina and chakra. However, without such a burst, this six-year-old body simply couldn't generate much power, making a one-hit kill extremely difficult.

Fog Raven is skilled at water-based movement, making it difficult for her to find any openings in her opponent's defenses.

The only solution is to kill the Bloodhound whose right hand is crippled and who has lost his weapon. To break the opponent's hardening spell, you need to use blunt weapons and force.

Galalalala!

Thick bones emerged from the palm of the hand, slender at the front and rugged at the back. The rounded bones deformed, and square, sharp edges spread from the bone body.

Subsequently.

A heavy, four-sided mace made of bone with extremely high density appeared in Gray Glass's hand.

He waved slightly.

Its shape, which is thinner in the front and thicker in the back, is extremely easy to handle.

Bloodhound frowned as he looked at the strange-looking weapon, sensing that something was amiss.

call!
Gray Glass's body suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of the Bloodhound.

Porcelain-white arms were raised into the air.

The heavy, four-sided mace was swung with a strong wind, and the powerful wind pressure generated immense force.

Bloodhound's temples throbbed.

Maintaining the effects of Earth Release: Hardening Technique greatly affected his agility. Faced with this powerful and heavy attack, he could only choose to protect his head with his arms and take the hit head-on.

Boom!
The heavy mace slammed into the bloodhound's crossed arms.

Even more terrifying than the downward slash of the sword, countless impacts came from both arms.

Click!

The yellowish-brown, rock-like chakra exploded, scattering violently from the terrifying impact. Bloodhound's towering body was sent spinning and flying, crashing into a tree trunk behind him with a loud bang.

"vomit!"

He vomited a mouthful of blood, his arms trembling as he leaned on the ground for support.

Woo!
Gray Glass wielded his heavy mace once more.

The sharp edges, accompanied by a strong wind, were aimed directly at the bloodhound's forehead.

Bloodhound's hair stood on end as he watched the terrifying blunt weapon hurtling towards him. If he were to be struck on the head by this powerful blow, he feared he would lose his life.

"Got you!"

In times of crisis.

Suddenly, the mist crow used Water Instant to quickly close the distance, and the water beneath Gray Glass's feet abruptly transformed into a water whip, wrapping around her ankle.

The heavy blow was delayed.

Gray Glass sidestepped the water whip.

Unexpectedly, the bloodhound lying on the ground in front of her suddenly got up and charged at her, roaring angrily.

Although Hui Li had already seen it, her old strength had dissipated and her new strength had not yet been generated, so she was directly grabbed by the arms by the bloodhound.

bass!
Her petite body suddenly trembled, and countless bone spurs surged from her body, only to be blocked by the hardening technique on the surface of the bloodhound's body.

The stark white bone spurs sparked against the yellowish-brown skin, neither side gaining the upper hand.

At this moment, Gray Glass's muscle strength was almost exhausted due to the force she had just exerted, and she was temporarily unable to break free from the Bloodhound's grip.

Five seconds.

The number flashed through the minds of all three simultaneously.

Having just unleashed two bursts of immense power, Gray Glass has five seconds left before his next burst.

Taking this opportunity, Fog Raven approached and extended its hands.

Water Release: Water Prison Technique!

The crisscrossing water on the ground all surged back up, the fluid water seemingly coming to life, about to completely envelop Gray Glass and Bloodhound.

Once it is fully formed.

The Water Prison Technique is virtually impossible to break from the inside. It is a perverse ninjutsu developed by the Hidden Mist Anbu specifically for lone, powerful individuals. Even the strongest enemy trapped in the Water Prison can only wait in despair for the oxygen to run out and suffocate to death.

It's now!

Hui Li's eyes narrowed.

With his arm held captive by the Bloodhound, Gray Glass, who had been unable to use his skills, suddenly released his weapon, and all ten fingers were aimed at Mist Raven, who was casting the Water Prison spell.

The user of the Water Prison Technique must keep their hands inside the water sphere, otherwise the water prison will break on its own.

Because all the water on the ground was gathered to use Water Release, his Water Instantaneous Movement Technique was also sealed, leaving Mist Crow completely defenseless.

Corpse Bone Pulse —

The gleaming bullets crawled out from the tips of Gray Glass's fingers, like loaded bullets.

three seconds.

Sudden.

A curtain of water swept through the air, swirling and forming a tall wall of water between the gray glass and the mist crows.

Water Release: Water Wall Technique!
Another mist crow appeared in the distance. After casting the Water Wall spell, it transformed into clear water and merged into the water prison, making the water prison take shape even faster.

"Young Miss, that unfortunate fellow, Minghu, died because of this very technique!"

The smug voice of the mist crow came from the wall after the water flow had changed, clearly indicating that it had already taken precautions against the hidden killing move of the gray glass.

"ended."

one second.

As Mist Raven silently counted to the last number, he squeezed out his chakra, and the water flow completely buried Gray Glass and Bloodhound together, leaving no gaps.

Looking at the enormous water prison in front of him, and the two figures locked together inside.

The fog crow finally breathed a sigh of relief.

All that's left is to wait for the oxygen inside to run out, then pull the bloodhound out, and the battle will be completely over.

call!
What an amazing young man!

Before Mist Raven could even utter a sigh, the water sphere suddenly trembled violently again, as if the chakra maintaining the technique was about to run out.

"Ok?"

The fog crows were greatly alarmed.

He quickly manipulated his chakra to maintain the stability of the Water Prison Technique, but suddenly discovered that the chakra in his meridians was being blocked by a strange type of chakra that came from an unknown source.

Within his meridians, the foreign chakra completely blocked the chakra flow that had been divided into segments, rendering his rampage ineffective.

The fog crow opened its eyes in fear.

"This, this is!!"

Only then did he realize:

Below the water sphere.

Extremely fine strands of hair extend from the bottom of the water sphere.

Under the cover of night, the hair strands, barely visible to the naked eye, pierced the acupoints on Mist Crow's skin like steel needles, continuously channeling chakra into his body.

His meridians have been completely locked down by these foreign chakra.

Wow!
The water sphere, now deprived of the support of the Mist Raven's chakra, collapsed with a crash, revealing Gray Li with her hair hanging down and her body soaked, and the Bloodhound still tightly binding her.

The water had soaked the girl's clothes, making her look slightly disheveled, but the corners of her pale pink lips were gently curved upwards.

Through the blindfold, his eyes locked onto the fog crow completely.

Make the shape of your fingers like a pistol.

Sneered.

tom!
Lip movements mimic the sound of a gun being fired.

call out!
Extremely fast finger bones, invisible to the naked eye, pierce through the air.

Loss of chakra.

The ravens, their faces filled with terror, instinctively looked up but could not dodge the high-speed bullet.

The skull was pierced through.

Red and white brain matter, carried by finger bones, spurted out from the back of the head.

The fog crow's vision went black, and it instantly collapsed to the ground, its body twitching unconsciously twice before falling still.

"Mist Raven!!!" Seeing blood trickling from his companion's brow, the Bloodhound roared and wrapped his arms completely around Gray Glass's throat.

The bulging muscles completely jammed the slender neck.

"Ahhhh!!!"

A roar exploded in Gray Glass's ears, as if breaking some kind of limit.

Visible blue chakra erupted from the bloodhound's abdomen, and finally, countless chakra poured into his arms, which swelled up like steel bars, grabbed Gray Glass's neck, and slammed him down hard.

Click!

Gray Glass's head snapped backward instantly, its cervical spine curving into a bizarre arc. The skin of its neck was completely torn apart, exposing its blood-soaked throat to the air, a truly gruesome sight.

A flicker of pleasure flashed in the bloodhound's eyes, but it quickly turned into deep terror.

The reason was that Gray Glass, whose head was completely folded behind his back, was still smiling on his upside-down face.

Do!
The broken neck vertebrae exposed to the air suddenly protruded with bone spurs, precisely piercing the bloodhound's bloodshot right eye and extending all the way through its brain.

"Ugh! Ahhhhh!"

A painful scream echoed through the dense forest. The bloodhound's tall body stiffened instantly, the yellowish-brown chakra on its body disappeared, and the bone spurs had nothing to stop it.

*Pfft... Pfft...*

Countless sounds of flesh being pierced rang out.

He embraced Hui Li's tall body and was completely transformed into a shattered blood gourd.

Bloodhound, dead.

……

The evening wind howled through the dense forest.

The night was already very dark.

Suddenly, a streak of light appeared on the horizon, and then the whole world was illuminated.

The time of twilight has ended.

With her hands supporting her head bent backward, Hui Li struggled to break free from the porcupine-like bloodhound's embrace.

The bone spur was pulled out, bringing with it a large spray of blood.

slap... slap...

The bloody bone spurs fell into the blood-soaked mud and quickly decomposed into bone fragments.

Hui Li carefully supported her chin and folded her head back into place. Visible bone fragments extended from her cervical vertebrae to fix her head in place, and the torn fascia and nerves automatically reconnected under the influence of chakra.

Chakra repair, steam billowing out.

Hui Li shook her head, feeling as if her head was about to fall off at any moment.

Okay.

It wasn't a fatal injury.

Although the Corpse Bone Pulse is powerful, it also has its limits.

The power to heal the body is somewhat ineffective in the face of such severe injuries. If only one had the body of a Thousand Hands or Uzumaki Sage.

Hui Li thought with a hint of greed.

This battle was indeed difficult for Gray Glass, but she still won.

anyway.

It is an ironclad rule known to everyone in the ninja world that one must not engage in close combat with the Taketori and Hyuga!

They all did it, and they almost succeeded.

If she hadn't turned the tables with the Rabbit Hair Needle at the end, she really wouldn't have been able to do anything about these two. One was a special Jonin who used genjutsu, and the other was a Chunin who used taijutsu. Their only relatively powerful genjutsu was countered by the Byakugan.

This configuration almost caused Gray Glass, who possesses two bloodline limits, to fail.

There are many reasons.

Firstly, Hui Li's age is indeed a major disadvantage, and she spent the time being hunted by the Hidden Mist after just awakening her memories. All in all, she has only been in this world for a week, so she really didn't have a chance to develop in peace.

Secondly, the quality of the Hidden Mist ninjas is too high.

Under the brutal policies of the Village of Blood Mist, the ninjas of Kirigakure are almost all elites who have fought their way out of the village; mediocre ninjas simply cannot survive in this village.

This is undoubtedly extremely cruel for ordinary people.

But such a cruel policy is the reason why Kirigakure survives.

The name "Village of Blood Mist" had already spread throughout the ninja world many years ago, and the behind-the-scenes manipulation by Madara Uchiha and Obito only exacerbated this bloodshed.

Kirigakure belongs to the Land of Water, the weakest of the five great nations.

The Land of Water is an island nation at sea, with most of its land area being ocean, unsuitable for human habitation. Given this, the Land of Water has a sparse population, and the difficulty of cultivating crops on an island makes it extremely difficult to raise food, resulting in a severe shortage of people.

If there are not enough basic ninjas, it will be difficult for genius ninjas to emerge.

Furthermore, the Land of Water is located between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning, two powerful nations, so many foreign missions simply don't reach Kirigakure, making resources even scarcer and poorer.

In order to break the vicious cycle, the cruel Blood Mist Village was born.

The ruthless elimination mechanism revitalized Kirigakure, producing a constant stream of skilled fighters such as the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Hozuki, Minazuki, and Taketori, which is why the system has been able to continue to this day.

Every system exists for a reason, and this cannot be changed by the efforts of one or two people.

Hui Li still vaguely remembered her father mentioning the Will of the Mist:
A hazy, ethereal mist cannot form a vast, boundless sea. Nourished by blood and nourished by flesh, the cruel yet beautiful flower of blood mist blooms.

The blood mist never dissipates, and the flowers never wither.

This is the truth behind the 'blood mist'...

A thin mist billowed.

The sky grew brighter, and the morning light illuminated the dense forest, adding a touch of warmth to this cruel battlefield.

Hui Li tore off her tattered clothes.

Bathed in the morning light, the sensitive areas are covered by layers of periosteum, with layers of raised geometric scales appearing on the surface, resembling the skin of a snake.

We walked over the corpses scattered on the ground and the spikes in the pit.

Grey Glass walked barefoot back to the tent.

Because her tent was not in the center of the battlefield, it miraculously survived the great battle without being damaged.

Put on clothes, shoes, and socks, and drape a cloak over your shoulders.

They found the white cane belonging to Qiu Cunxin on her back and then set the corpses on fire.

Flames licked the chunks of meat.

The stench of burning protein mixed with the aroma of meat made Hui Li, who was somewhat hungry after the fierce battle, swallow hard.

Sudden.

Just as the flames reached the bloodhound's body, a 'flesh worm' containing a large amount of chakra crawled out from his body.

The flames flickered.

The 'flesh worm' moved away from the flames and crawled outwards.

Hui Li was startled and rolled her eyes, locking onto the 'flesh worm'.

The 'flesh worm' was about the length of a hand, thin and flat, with a dark blue-black body and a strange slime on its surface.

Don't let its small size fool you.

Its body contains more chakra than a bloodhound. The heterogeneous deep blue chakra emits a strong light in the Byakugan's view.

This……

Hui Li frowned deeply.

Isn't this the chakra that Bloodhound used when he suddenly unleashed his power?
It snapped her neck, which was harder than steel, in one go. She was very curious about this sudden power that even the White Eyes couldn't detect.

呲呲!

The 'flesh worm' was wriggling on the ground.

The deep blue chakra transformed into a stream of moist water, extinguishing the raging flames.

Bang!
Encased in white bones, a fist as heavy as a hammer slammed the 'flesh worm' into the mud.

The 'flesh worm' was hit hard and writhed wildly.

Bang bang!
Hui Li slammed the hammer a few more times.

It stopped moving completely.

He poured the soldier's ration pills into his mouth, leaving the empty medicine bottle, pinched the 'flesh worm' and stuffed it into the bottle, then sealed it with a cork.

Whatever it is.

Let's pack it up and leave first.

With the medicine bottle tucked into his pocket and chewing on a soldier's ration pill, Hui Li bent down and slung his backpack over his shoulder.

dong dong...

The white cane gently taps the ground.

With her back to the rising sun in the distance, Hui Li embarked on her journey to the west.

That's Konoha.

She will eventually gain strength there.

Get rid of cruelty!
