Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

"I'm coming!"

The long benches at Ichiraku Ramen were already full, with curious villagers crowding around them and craning their necks to look outside.

Uncle Tsubaki and Miss Ayame, with white towels draped over their shoulders, placed bowls of ramen in front of them. Seeing a cluster of dark figures at the end of the long street, they also stood at the shop entrance with great interest to join in the fun.

"Those dark-skinned guys are the bastards from Kumogakure!"

As the shadowy figure approached, a woman in a purple dress pointed at the Cloud Village ninja walking at the front, her expression filled with obvious disgust.

Everyone present looked disgusted at the mention of Kumogakure, even the usually mild-mannered Uncle Tetsuji had a grim expression.

Putting aside the numerous wars between Kumogakure and Konoha, the fact that the other side sent people to attack ninja academy students five years ago already incurred widespread anger. Although it was later claimed that this was the work of rogue ninjas, everyone isn't stupid; who doesn't know what they really are up to?

"He looks so stupid, I doubt he'll even pass the first exam."

An elderly man with white hair and beard looked resentful and spat out a mouthful of saliva as he spoke. His grandson, named Tai Er, had died five years ago at Exercise Field Zero.

"Look at that big guy from Iwagakure, he must be at least two meters tall!"

Ayame suddenly pointed to the Iwagakure team dressed in red ninja uniforms. A tall, muscular man stood out among the group of people who averaged 1.5 or 1.6 meters in height.

"This can't possibly be a genin?"

The old man with white hair and beard was blowing his beard and glaring. The Chunin Exams require an age, but this man looked to be in his thirties or forties. They would believe he was the Jonin teacher leading the team.

Looking at the imposing Chi Tu, everyone couldn't help but feel a little worried.

In the minds of ordinary people, might and might are synonymous with strength, and just by looking at the other party, one can tell that they are not someone to be trifled with.

"What's there to be afraid of? Our Konoha's number one genius is far superior to them!" Seeing the atmosphere in the arena become slightly quiet, the woman said loudly, her expression showing both pride and anticipation.

She was the woman who brought the little boy and gave up her seat for Hairi and Kakashi back then.

Since the Cloud Hidden Incident, many parents of students like her have developed a very favorable impression of Hui Li.

Later, thanks to the hype and marketing by the owner of Shinobi Full House, coupled with her outstanding looks, some obsessive fans called themselves "mommy fans," and their homes were filled with Gray Glass merchandise.

Upon hearing the woman's words, the crowd immediately relaxed, and even the wrinkles on the old man's face seemed to smooth out.

Although the woman didn't mention her name, her title as Konoha's number one genius had long been undisputed since the incident five years ago. No one believed that Hairi would lose to this group of outlying ninjas; this was based on real battle records and the trust built up over five years of continuous brainwashing and marketing.

"Hey, let Grey Li teach these country bumpkins from out of town a lesson!"

"Let them see what a genius really is."

"Don't worry, we will win!"

The atmosphere inside the store immediately became cheerful, and some people even raised their glasses and started drinking heartily early in the morning. Before the halfway point, the champagne had already been opened.

the other side.

The group of ninjas from other villages, who were being led by Konoha to the examination site, were also chattering amongst themselves.

"We... seem to be a little unpopular."

As he walked down the wide street, Omoi, with a lollipop in his mouth, glanced at the shops on both sides of the street.

Most of the Konoha villagers inside the shop gave them a cold shoulder, and some shops even lowered their curtains as soon as they approached, looking unwelcoming.

Karui and Atsi had cold expressions, feeling that they had been treated unfairly, and both were filled with resentment.

The incident involving Yotsuki Yu belongs to the village's 'dark side' and is not easily disclosed to the public, just as the Root massacre of the Cloud Village miners was not told to Naruto and the others. They have no idea why they are disliked and only feel that Konoha is too xenophobic.

"This is so annoying. Once I defeat that Gray Glass guy, they'll shut up!"

Ninjas are naturally sharp-witted, and since the people from Konoha didn't lower their voices, Karui overheard the discussions in the crowd and secretly harbored a grudge against the ninja named Hairi.

Atsi and Omoi nodded; for them, who considered themselves righteous, the villagers' disgust became a source of motivation.

The three secretly resolved to defeat the Konoha genius head-on and win their respect.

The Cloud Village members quickened their pace, holding their breath, and gradually distanced themselves from the Iwagakure behind them.

Who is Hui Li?

Hearing this name appear so frequently outside, Kurotsuchi couldn't help but look at her senior brother beside her. Akatsuchi shook her head, indicating that she didn't know, but soon a genin who had come with her brought over the information they had gathered over the past two days.

"Defeat the teacher upon entering school, kill the elite Jonin of Kumogakure..."

"No need to read it, it's pure nonsense!"

The Sunagakure genin who were gathering intelligence quickly shook their heads, and Temari even interrupted Kankuro, waving her hand and refusing to believe him at all.

She killed an elite Jonin at the age of six, and she even said she beat up Shukaku when she was one! Does spanking Gaara while holding him count as a beating?

Thinking to herself, she glanced at Gaara beside her.

The other person still had a cold demeanor, but since entering Konoha, their emotions seemed to have calmed down a lot. Yesterday, when she passed by the other person's room, it was completely silent inside, which was a miracle for Gaara, who suffered from insomnia and could not sleep at night.

"If we kill her... the Konoha ninja will suffer greatly!"

Ringo Ameyuri grinned, revealing her sharp teeth and making no attempt to conceal her murderous intent. Chojuro and Hozuki Suigetsu remained silent, their expressions serious and gloomy.

Ao was mercilessly tortured to death by Konoha. How could a ninja from the Village of Blood Mist possibly swallow this insult?
They already knew the process of the Chunin Exams: the written exam would end in the morning, and the practical assessment would begin in the afternoon.

They are ready to retaliate!
They admit they are no match for top-tier ninjas like Yoru, but surely they can handle Konoha's peers?
As genius youths who have fought their way out of the bloody mist, they have an unwavering belief in victory. In terms of practical experience, how can the hothouse flowers of Konoha compare with Kirigakure?
"Chasing the Sun Gray Glass..." The members of the Hidden Mist silently recited this name in their hearts, their killing intent growing wildly like weeds in spring.

If the ninjas of the five great nations are like this, then the many lower-ranking ninjas from smaller villages, each with their own secret techniques, directly regard the rumored genius of Konoha as the best stepping stone.

If they could defeat this Konoha genius, they could prove their talent, become true geniuses in the ninja world, and significantly increase the number of missions ordered by their village, thus changing their village's poverty. In their hearts, defeating Konoha's number one genius was synonymous with bringing glory to their country and making a name for themselves.

Unbeknownst to many, Hui Li has already made it onto the 'Must-Eat List in Konoha' thanks to the support of her fans.

……

At the other street corner, Naruto and Sasuke were waiting listlessly.

With the Konoha headband slung over his shoulder, Naruto still wore his classic orange jacket, and a sweatband with the word "Victory" written on it was tied around his forehead. The motivational effect was so-so, but his goofiness was almost perfect.

Sasuke, who was standing to the side, had changed his clothes a lot. His white kimono had been replaced with a black outer robe, and he wore blue trousers. A ninja sword resembling a fork was also hanging diagonally at his waist. His improved strength had led to an inflated sense of confidence, and his aura was much sharper than before.

Just by looking at his bear-like appearance, you can tell that Thunder Blade Fang has a great influence on him.

"Why isn't Hui Li here yet? We're going to be late for the exam!"

Naruto, who was often late for school, couldn't help but complain. This Chunin Exam was an opportunity he had waited five years for to prove himself, and he couldn't miss it no matter what.

Therefore, he deliberately got up very early and hid the cheat sheet he had stayed up all night making in the "Victory" headband on his head. He was full of confidence for today's written test!
"It's still early; we've arrived too early!"

Sasuke, arms crossed, looked at the sky, quickly calculated the current time, and leaned against the wall as steady as a mountain.

He has already signed a contract with Hui Li and received a pair of ninja swords worth tens of millions without doing anything. Wait, what happened to his boss?
After that Root meeting, he already understood who the real big shot was.

Hearing Sasuke say this, Naruto could only sigh and continue to wait.

Indeed, they arrived too early. The thought of competing against the most talented genin in the entire ninja world filled them with indescribable excitement.

Time ticked by, and Naruto and Sasuke frequently looked up at the sky until a thin ray of light pierced through the clouds and shone down, revealing a silver-white figure strolling from the end of the street.

Naruto and Sasuke straightened their hunched backs and turned their heads to look at the slowly approaching figure, which gradually became clearer. Their gazes both became somewhat fixed.

She was an absolutely stunningly beautiful girl.

She wore an extremely simple white kimono with a bright red sash around her waist. Apart from that, she had no other decorations. However, the loose clothing could not hide the full curves of her chest and waist. Although her slender waist was tightly bound by the sash, it made her look even more graceful.

Her perfectly proportioned hourglass figure gives the normally loose and ordinary kimono a strangely ascetic feel.

As the girl approached, her blurred features became clearer.

Her face was a classic oval shape, fair and radiant, with a gray-white pearl set between her eyebrows. Her nose was straight and well-proportioned, and her lips were naturally red without any makeup. Her silver-gray hair, like precious metal, was naturally coiled behind her head, shimmering in the morning light, with two strands of hair hanging down on either side of her forehead, swaying in the wind.

The most striking feature was the girl's eyes.

His pure, ashen pupils shimmered with a faint light, his long, narrow eyes slightly upturned, his gaze sharp, lifeless, and filled with an air of superiority that made it impossible for anyone to meet his eyes.

Naruto and Sasuke were completely dumbfounded!
The two stared blankly as the beautiful figure approached, their heads tilted back slightly, as if they were being struck by a beauty that transcended the mundane, and they couldn't recover for a while.

It's not their fault either.

With the immortal body that devours all things now linked to the left eye, Takamagahara, Gray Glass has become a perfect being in the true sense.

This perfection is not true perfection, but rather the body automatically evolving in the direction she perceives as 'perfect,' meaning the body completely becomes the vessel of her will.

She believes that the body should be full of power, and the body will grow corresponding organs, tissues, muscles and fascia in accordance with the rules of reality. She believes that the perfect body should have three heads and six arms, and the body will also follow its will and evolve towards having three heads and six arms.

The same principle applies to appearance. Whatever her subconscious ideal of perfection should look like, her facial features will change in that direction, ultimately achieving a perfect appearance that surpasses human limits.

Takamagahara is both the birthplace of the gods and the dwelling place ruled and dominated by them.

Yin arises from Yang, and the soul, born from the body, can rule the entire body and is regarded as a god. This body, which is controlled by the god, is the true location of Takamagahara!
Seeing their stunned expressions, Hui Li was both amused and exasperated. She pursed her lips and waited quietly for a while. Seeing that they were still staring blankly without saying a word, she had no choice but to go up and greet them.
"morning?"

"Ah, good morning!"

The two men snapped out of their daze, blushing and flustered as they responded, raising and lowering their hands, wanting to look but not daring to, looking like helpless little boys.

Having spent five years with Hui Li, this was the first time they had seen her without her blindfold. The fixed image in their minds was shattered, and the intense visual impact doubled. It was as if they were under Hui Li's aura of fear, only the effect was completely opposite.

Two seconds later, Sasuke regained his composure first and looked at Hui Li's bright and clear gray eyes, asking:
"You...your eyes are healed?"

"That's it."

With eyes shimmering like water, Hui Li gazed up at the clear blue sky, a faint smile playing on her lips.

Since waking up in the Mist-Hidden Battlefield, this was the first time she had ever seen the sky with her naked eyes. The pure azure blue was healing and clear, completely different from the grayish blue she saw when using her eye technique. Having always used her eye technique to observe the world, she had almost forgotten what the world actually looked like.

There is only one disease in the ninja world, and that is weakness, and she has indeed cured her own disease!

Naruto, standing nearby, remained silent, simply watching Kairi excitedly pump her fist. Hearing that Kairi's eye ailment had been cured, he seemed even happier than when he himself passed his graduation exam.

"Don't just stand there, we can talk about some things later, the exam is the most important thing!" Seeing that the two seemed to have almost forgotten about the exam, Hui Li couldn't help but urge them.

Even though the examiners, graders, and even the proctors are all her people, she can't just skip the exam and advance directly to the next round!

You have to act it out, at least a little.

Upon hearing Hai Li's words, Naruto and Sasuke suddenly realized what was happening. After checking their admission tickets, the three of them headed straight for the Ninja Academy.

Since Team 7 arrived a little late, there was only one teacher on guard at the Ninja Academy gate. Hui Li quickly handed the admission ticket to the teacher, ignoring the teacher's stunned gaze, and led Naruto and Sasuke up to the second floor.

"Why won't you let us in?"

A clear female voice echoed in the corridor. A girl with her hair in a bun and a smaller version of a green-clad kappa were arguing with two ninjas in front of room 301. They looked very angry, but before they could finish speaking, they were kicked to the ground by the ninjas guarding the door. The many genin who had gathered around immediately started talking.

"The so-called Chunin are the decision-makers in the ninja team. The lives of their subordinates are in their hands. Kids like you who are still wet behind the ears have no chance of passing the test. You might as well quit and go back to train for another two years!"

Two genin, wearing sunglasses and bearing scars on their faces, blocked the doorway, expressionlessly explaining the duties of chunin in a reverent tone. Because this Chunin Exam was quite unusual, the entire Genma team had been requisitioned by Yamato. (End of Chapter)
