Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

Chapter 44 Enrollment
The next day, early in the morning.

Konoha Ninja Academy, First Year Elite Class.

Iruka had not yet arrived, and the wind in the classroom was quite noisy.

"Hey, did you hear? Kazama-sensei is in the hospital."

"I heard that his sternum was shattered and several ribs were broken."

"Hiss~ This is terrifying."

Sakura and Ino, along with many of Kazama-sensei's female fans, sat together, chattering and gossiping.

Sasuke and Hinata sat in their seats, both with equally heavy expressions.

The boys, on the other hand, were not so relaxed.

Kiba Inuzuka, biting the pen cap, looked at the question in his notebook and felt something was off: "Shikamaru, did you write this question wrong?"

"I copied it from Ino's notebook, ouch~"

Shikamaru yawned and leaned back lazily in his chair, looking like an old man on the street despite his young age.

His sense of relaxation lasted only a moment:

"Choji, don't put your hand that was holding potato chips on my notebook!"

"I'm sorry, Shikamaru. Speaking of which..."

As Choji wrote, he glanced at Naruto, who was sitting quietly in a chair: "Why isn't Naruto copying?"

Shikamaru shook his head and said he had finished his homework.

"I heard that the blind girl was assigned to our class!"

"Really? My God, are we going to get beaten to death by her?! She seems to have an absolutely volatile temper!"

"A tigress..."

Several boys were also discussing it.

boom!
Naruto slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

The other students in the class couldn't help but be drawn to it.

"Naruto, what are you doing?"

A tall boy, startled, initially thought it was a teacher, but when he turned around and saw it was Naruto, his expression immediately turned fiery.

Naruto raised his head, his eyes gleaming: "You're not allowed to talk about Hai Li like that."

He had confirmed that the person who fought Kazama Koshi yesterday was Hai Ri, whom he had met at Ichiraku Ramen.

Gentle, kind, mysterious, beautiful—definitely not some tigress.

He would never allow anyone to slander his friend like that.

"Are you asking for it?!"

The tall boy was surprised that Naruto dared to challenge him, so he and several other boys stood up and surrounded Naruto.

A conflict was on the verge of breaking out.

The student sitting by the door suddenly heard footsteps outside.

"The teacher is here!"

These words were like a starting gun; everyone shut up and spontaneously and quickly returned to their seats, instantly silencing the noisy classroom to the point of being completely silent.

thump... thump...

The sound of the white cane striking the floor tiles echoed in the corridor.

As Naruto sat upright, listening to the familiar voice, he felt as if his heart was beating in rhythm with the beat.

It's unclear.

It's like he couldn't understand why he had to finish his boring homework last night.

soon.

The classroom door opened under everyone's gaze.

Iruka Umino walked ahead.

Behind.

A silver-haired blind girl, leaning on a cane and carrying a pink bear backpack, slowly walked into the classroom.

"so beautiful……"

"That's kind of cute!"

The quiet students began to murmur amongst themselves after seeing Hui Li.

At first, when they heard that Hairi had kicked Kazama-sensei so hard he ended up in the hospital, they thought she was some kind of gorilla with arms big enough to carry a horse. Seeing Hairi's true appearance now was a huge surprise.

Hui Li ignored the whispers below.

Just looking at the familiar little radishes below, staring at her with wide eyes, gave me a strange feeling.

Iruka Unno brought Kairi to the podium:

"quiet!"

call!
The classroom quieted down. Iruka nodded in satisfaction: "Class, we have a new student in our class today. Let's give them a round of applause."

clap clap clap...

"Um... Hui Li, please introduce yourself!"

Facing Gray, Iruka cautiously revealed a kind and friendly smile.

He had heard about what happened to Kazama-sensei.

Knowing he couldn't withstand that kick, he dared not act recklessly.

"Good teacher."

Hui Li responded obediently.

Her clear, girlish voice was like a wind chime hanging on a door, melodious and pleasant to the ear.

Combined with her exquisitely beautiful features that are not at all aggressive.

Umino Iruka was flattered, and his first impression of this violent girl quickly improved.

Such a gentle girl, yet she beat Kazama-sensei up like that yesterday. Kazama-sensei must have done something really outrageous!
Hui Li turned around and smiled at her classmates.

Her pink lips parted slightly.

"My name is Chasing the Sun Gray Glass."

Skilled in physical combat, loves peace, and hates anything or anyone that makes me feel at ease.

I like to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

My dream is to defeat a powerful opponent and live a peaceful and happy life.

Please continue to take care of me in the future.

clap clap clap!
Iruka led the applause, clapping so hard that his head began to sway back and forth.

He almost burst into tears.

For him, who was often driven crazy by the abnormal teenagers in his class, the girl's remarks were so normal that they seemed almost magical, except that he had never heard of her favorite food.

"Zhu Ri seems to be quite easy to get along with."

Choji clapped along while whispering something.

"Yeah, she's pretty cute," Kiba Inuzuka nodded in approval.

Shikamaru remained noncommittal; he always felt there was something strange and awkward about this new classmate.

That feeling was like... a ferocious lion.

It walks past you quietly, looking friendly, but if you sneak a peek, you'll immediately see:
The other party's ferocious yellow beast eyes were also secretly observing you.

It's absolutely terrifying.

Nara Shikamaru couldn't help but shudder, as if he had touched upon something hidden in the shadows.

"Alright then, Hui Li, you can sit here..."

Iruka prepared to arrange a seat for Ash.

Before Iruka could finish speaking, Gray, leaning on her cane, stepped down from the podium and walked straight toward the blond-haired boy at the right rear of the class.

"Teacher, is this okay?"

Smiling and nodding to the excited Naruto, Hui Li tapped the seat next to Naruto with her cane.

"Uh... okay."

Iruka hesitated for a moment, but then noticed that Gray had already put her schoolbag on the chair, so she nodded in agreement.

Woo~
Gentleness is all an illusion!

Kazama-sensei, I misunderstood you!!
Gray ignored Iruka.

Her gentleness was merely a means to quickly integrate with these privileged kids, not to play the role of a well-behaved female student in front of the teacher.

"Naruto-kun, we'll be deskmates from now on. Please take care of me."

"Hello, Hui Li. Please, please guide me."

Looking at Naruto's rosy complexion, Hui Li's smile became even gentler.

Her lifeless eyes stared at the seal on his lower abdomen.

Extremely fine red chakra, like blood vessels, seeped from the seal.

Inside the gray glass body.

Deep blue chakra throbbed in his heart, his blood vessels and meridians seemed to be aroused by a hungry worm, excited and ready to burst out of his body at any moment.

Gum!

She couldn't help but swallow.

Kyuubi.

If she eats just a few more bites, her chakra level will immediately reach Kage level.

It's such an irresistible temptation.
