Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

Konoha's Third Training Ground.

Sunlight pierced through the tree canopy, leaving dappled shadows on the ground. Kazama Etsu stood in the shadows, a green stubble sprouting on his chin, his slightly dejected cheeks flushed with anger.

Looking at Naruto, who was even 'denseer' than the trees in the forest, with his left hand tightly gripping his right wrist and his fist constantly spinning a wind shuttle that couldn't be controlled to dissipate, he felt a surge of hot blood rushing to his head!
The form and nature of the Thunder Shuttle are highly variable, and its complexity far exceeds that of ordinary elemental escaping techniques. Therefore, it requires an extremely high level of chakra control.

Naruto's biggest weakness is his inability to finely control chakra. He usually uses Wind Release in the simplest and most brutal way possible, since he has an endless supply of chakra. He just relies on sheer force to send bricks flying. It can be said that the two are very incompatible.

This is equivalent to making the careless Naruto learn medical ninjutsu; anyone who teaches him would go crazy!
I wish Hui Li would be willing to inherit my ninjutsu.

Kazama couldn't bear to continue observing Naruto's appalling progress in training. He looked up at the sky and reminisced about his former genius disciple.

The opponent's speed in mastering ninjutsu was like having a cheat code; even with the help of countless shadow clones, Naruto couldn't catch up.

Although he could be considered a minor genius thanks to his Shadow Clone Jutsu, with the likes of Ashikaga Shinobi preceding him, he always felt that Naruto was somewhat lacking.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

Back then, he complained that teaching Hui Li to cultivate was too fast and he didn't feel a sense of accomplishment, but now it seems that he managed to protect his blood pressure.

"The art of multiple shadow clones!"

Unaware of Kazama's inner thoughts, the exhausted Naruto once again created hundreds of shadow clones, gritting his teeth and controlling the wind shuttle on his arm to spin faster.

Due to interference from the Nine-Tails' chakra within him, his chakra control was very poor.

Even the most basic clone technique took him six years to master, and the Thunder Shuttle, with its S-level difficulty, was many times more difficult than the clone technique.

After more than half a month of training, he hadn't even started training to break through the Thunder Shuttle.

What he is practicing now is not the Thunder Shuttle, but the A-rank ninjutsu, Whirlwind Shuttle, which Kazama Etsu developed over five years.

Since Kazama Eshi lost his arm and could not form hand seals, it would be difficult for him to further improve the Thunder Shuttle. Therefore, the opponent chose to take a different approach, reducing the form and nature of the Thunder Shuttle by one dimension, turning it into the relatively stable Whirlwind Shuttle.

In Kazama Koshi's teaching plan, learning the Whirlwind Shuttle is considered the first step. From there, students are upgraded to the semi-finished Lightning Shuttle, and finally, they are gradually perfected to make it a true S-rank ninjutsu.

Each link is connected to the next, but he is still in the first link.

"Naruto!"

A clear voice called from above, which startled the exhausted Naruto, who quickly looked up.
Amidst the dense canopy overhead, a graceful white figure sat half-sitting on a branch, her face and body obscured by the emerald green leaves, only her delicate white feet, clad in ninja sandals, dangling down and swaying gently, her snow-white and slender ankles reflecting dazzling light in the sunlight.

Gulu!

For some reason, Naruto remembered the snow on the eaves last winter. He subconsciously swallowed and realized that his throat was dry and his tongue felt like an old newspaper from ten years ago.

"Grey Glass! When did you arrive?"

Although he couldn't see the girl's face clearly, Naruto could still recognize her at a glance. He jumped for joy, and the gloom of his unsuccessful training over the past few days, along with the mental fatigue brought on by the shadow clones, seemed to be swept away.

"I just arrived. Kakashi-sensei asked me to inform you that the written exam for Ninja Academy Class 301 is at 8:00 AM the day after tomorrow." Hui Li looked down at Naruto, who was diligently practicing Wind Release, and sighed that he was finally about to escape the predicament of only being able to 'dry his kidneys'.

"Written test!"

Naruto, who had been training hard for over a month, was dumbfounded. He had never known that the Chunin Exams included a written test. After graduating, he had forgotten everything he had learned at the Ninja Academy.

"Because this exam is so large, with nearly 300 participants, and I heard that the questions are the most difficult in recent years, if you fail the written test, you will be eliminated, and your teammates in the same group will also be eliminated."

So if you dare to cause me to fail the assessment... I will definitely kill you!

Watching Naruto under the shade of the tree turn from a bright orange to a stone-like gray-white, Hui Li suppressed her laughter and tried her best to scare him with a stern face.

She had seen the other person's lewd look just now. How dare they have designs on her? They deserved to be taught a lesson!
"Slacking off, huh! It's...it's Hui Li!"

As the two were talking, Kazama Etsu also noticed something was wrong. Thinking that Naruto was slacking off, he quietly crept over, intending to give him a good kick, only to find that it was his beloved disciple who had arrived.

"Kazama-sensei, how have you been lately?" Hui Li greeted him, but her gaze was fixed on Kazama Etsu's empty arms, which he had lost because of her.

"Hey~ it's still the same, I won't die."

Kazama Etsu's green eyes were slightly dim, and he shrugged his shoulders to appear nonchalant, but the cuffs on both sides of his sleeves swayed gently in the wind, revealing a hint of desolation.

He has never had much luck.

The once-genius ninja lost his taijutsu after his limbs were broken, and now he has lost both arms and can't even use ninjutsu. It's impossible for him not to feel sad, but that's the reality, and he can only slowly accept it.

Fortunately, he trained Konoha's number one genius, the ninjutsu he developed was not lost, and he also met a virtuous wife who didn't mind his shortcomings...

"Naruto, here you go."

As Kazama was still wallowing in melancholy, two dark shadows suddenly fell from above his head. Naruto caught the shadows with lightning speed, only to find two strange pills in his palm.

The meatballs are pinkish-white in color, with bright red patterns all over the surface. The material is like some kind of jade, but it is also soft, tender and bouncy, as if fish and beef were minced and mixed with jade powder.

He could also faintly smell a strange fragrance.

What is this?
Naruto and Kazama looked at the two strange balls at the same time, their eyes filled with doubt.

goooo~
The two bloody holes on his arm slowly filled in, and dense granulation tissue rapidly grew from the wounds, stitching them together.

While waiting for the wound to heal, Hui Li said expressionlessly:
"This is my latest therapeutic pill, capable of bringing the dead back to life, healing flesh and bones, and even regenerating severed limbs."

Hashirama's cells could restore half of Obito Uchiha's body to its full size, and naturally, the Gray Glass cells, which evolved to the third stage of the Sage Body, could do the same.

Furthermore, since her cells are completely controlled by Takamagahara, her genes can be edited and modified at will, and there is no need to consider issues such as matching or immunity.

She hasn't conducted any human experiments yet, but theoretically the risk level is approximately zero.

"Limb regeneration!!"

Upon hearing the keywords, Kazama Koshi's eyes lit up instantly, his stubble-covered, haggard face transforming into one of intense excitement. Naruto, his eyes wide, carefully examined the divine medicine, scrutinizing it for a long time without discerning anything. Finally, he looked up and asked:

"This...how do I use it? Do I eat it directly?"

"It can be used both externally and internally."

Hui Li said casually, her left eye under the blindfold already glowing with a gray light. If she weren't afraid of scaring the two of them, she could even make these two meatballs grow limbs and climb onto the wound to heal themselves.

She always felt like she was turning into Cthulhu.

Looking at the two meatballs in Naruto's hand, Kazama swallowed hard. Ever since he lost his arm, he felt that his life had become bleak.

His wife often comforted him, saying that perhaps in the future, they might develop a ninjutsu that could regenerate severed limbs. But he knew it was just a distant dream; his life was over!

And now, not only has the dream not ended, it seems to be turning into reality?
A flicker of doubt crossed his mind, but he quickly dismissed it. What would Konoha's greatest genius ever want from deceiving a disabled person like him?
Are you after his lack of bathing? Or are you after his meager compensation?

He gave away his only valuable S-rank ninjutsu for free, but people refused.

Having figured all this out, Kazama took a sudden step forward and, without waiting for Naruto to feed him the medicine, bit into two meatballs. Before he could even taste them, the meatballs instantly softened into a paste, burrowing into his throat like worms.

"Well...cough cough cough..."

Kazama Etsu's green eyes suddenly widened, and he opened his mouth wide, coughing and gagging repeatedly. He could feel that soft, muddy thing wriggling in his esophagus!

This medicine is alive!

Buzz!

Gray light flashed in Gray Glass's left eye, piercing through Kazama Etsu's body. Gray Glass cells, like two venomous snakes, burrowed through his intestines and finally split into two streams that flowed to his shoulders.

The wound hidden under the sleeve suddenly sprouted granulation tissue, and the stark white bone broke through the tumor-like skin, with blood vessels and nerves climbing on it.

The collision of mental and physical power instantly gave birth to two chakra cores, like two shattered purple crystals. The 'Gray Glass Cells' also began to deform and proliferate under the amplification of chakra, and even the gene sequences inside the cells began to converge with Kazama Eishi's...

Human gene sequences are complex and difficult to measure. Hui Li does not have the energy to analyze them and then fine-tune them. She can only copy the other party's gene chain one-to-one and then carry out cell differentiation.

Kazama Koshi, who was coughing violently, shuddered. Naruto was about to help him up when, *splat*... *splat*... two wet arms sprouted from Kazama Koshi's shoulders in his horrified gaze.

"Ah! This... this..."

Naruto instantly stepped back, pointing at Kazama Kotsu's arm with a terrified expression.

Gray Glass narrowed his left eye slightly, and Takamagahara continued to attack.

The chakra cores within her two arms shattered instantly, and the chakra and soul fragments they contained were also directly reclaimed by her.

The cells and genes belong to Kazama Koshi, and from then on, these hands were completely unrelated to her. Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome if the other party were to masturbate out of boredom...

His fingers trembled as he bent and stretched back and forth. Kazama looked down at his familiar yet unfamiliar hands, his expression shifting from fear to disbelief, and finally to uncontrollable ecstasy.

He controlled his hands to swing and clench his fists without any stiffness or resistance. The bone structure, muscle lines, and even the skin color were exactly the same as before his arm was severed.

Grey Glass didn't lie!

Seeing Kazama's increasingly frantic state, Hairi asked with a smile, "Kazama-sensei, are you feeling alright?"

"Uh, uh, okay, no, great... Anyway, thank you, Gray Glass!"

The usually composed Kazama Etsu looked at Kairi and became somewhat incoherent. He didn't know how to express his gratitude, but finally opened his mouth and uttered a sincere thank you.

"No need to say so much, I'm leaving first. Sasuke doesn't know about the exam yet!" Hui Li waved her hand casually.

Sending a message to Naruto was just a side thing; her real purpose for coming here was to repair Kazama Koshi's arm.

Her form transformations and Wind Release nature transformations were taught by Kazama Etsu. Although this knowledge wasn't a big secret in Konoha, without his help, she wouldn't have been able to defeat Yozuki Yu, let alone be taken in as a disciple by Sarutobi Hiruzen later.

Helping the other person repair their arm was her way of giving back.

Although these arms no longer contain her chakra, their cellular activity is still consistent with her Sage Body.

After implantation, Kazama Koshi's physical strength and chakra reserves will be greatly enhanced, his arm will have a self-repairing function, and he will also gain extremely high immunity to lightning. As long as the defects of the Lightning Shuttle are made up, he can become an elite Jonin of Konoha.

Then she greeted Naruto, whose eyes were shining as he looked at Kazama Etsu's arm, and closed her eyes to wait a moment.

欻!
In a flash, the beautiful figure on the treetop had vanished from their sight.

"So fast!"

Naruto muttered to himself, a hint of disappointment in his eyes. He thought he had become very strong, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even see Hai Li's movements!

The more he chased after Hui Li, the more he realized the gap between them.

"That's my disciple!"

Kazama proudly flashed a set of white teeth, and the realistic touch in his palm almost brought tears to his eyes.

"Kazama-sensei, I must learn the Whirlwind Shuttle today!" Naruto's competitive spirit prevailed, and he clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with intense fire!
Kazama glanced at Naruto with a look of utter disdain: "The training for the Whirlwind Shuttle isn't something to rush. You should hurry home and prepare for the exam. Don't delay Hairi's advancement to Chunin."

Naruto, who was just rolling up his sleeves and getting ready to get down to business, suddenly froze on the spot.

……

Since Naruto and Sasuke were both actively training and preparing for the exams, they didn't have time to go out for a stroll, so they naturally didn't run into the Sand Village trio.

But perhaps it was just the way things are, Konohamaru, Kazamatsuri Moegi, and the others who were playing on the street bumped into Kankuro, who was scouting the area.

Kankuro, who had already been taught a lesson at the entrance of Konoha Village, had become much more restrained in his temperament.

The mere thought of that figure standing in the sky made his calves tremble with fear. After apologizing to Konohamaru, he ran away without looking back.

Are all Sand Village ninjas this polite?

Konohamaru and Kazamatsuri Moegi were completely baffled, so they continued to play around.

With so many participants in the Chunin Exams, all three classes at the Ninja Academy were used as exam venues, and the school's teachers also had to proctor the exams. These students were given a three-day holiday.

What they didn't know was that the three days of classes they missed would be made up next week and the week after, and the person who made the suggestion was none other than the examiner who had suffered so much from the time off in his previous life.

She had been caught in the rain, so she had to tear other people's umbrellas to shreds!

Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

early morning.

The morning light pierced through the thin mist and fell on the streets of Konoha Village. The sunlight was bright but not scorching. The shops along the road had already taken down their doors and were filled with people.

The schedule for the Chunin Exams had long been known throughout Konoha. This road was the route to the school and the only way for the examinees to take the exams.

This time, the Five Nations Joint Examination has been upgraded to the Chunin Joint Examination of the entire ninja world. Such a large-scale examination is unprecedented. The villagers of Konoha, who love to watch the excitement, deliberately got up early just to see the ninjas from other villages.

soon.

At the end of the street, clusters of dark figures appeared. (End of Chapter)
