Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

Chapter 64 Secret
Ring ring ring!
The school bell rings.

Sasuke, looking displeased, went in first. Sakura, behind him, was anxious but didn't know how to explain. Shikamaru and the other two pulled Naruto, who was still rubbing his head, back to his seat.

Ino and Hairi entered the classroom together, looking hesitant.

Hinata looked up from the table and saw everyone walking in in twos and threes, while Naruto was still grinning foolishly at Hairi.

Woo~
She quickly looked down, her forehead almost hitting the table.

very scary!
It’s really scary!
Hinata was trembling all over.

She hasn't been able to sleep well for the past two days because she keeps thinking about the horrific scene she saw with her eyes rolled back that day.

It was on the day that Hairi fought against Kazama-sensei.

Water mist filled the sky.

Even though Naruto was sitting on Kiba's shoulders, he couldn't see the specific details of the battle, so she thought she would use her Byakugan to see what was going on inside for him.

And that's when things went wrong.

Under the clear vision of the white eye, all secrets are hard to conceal.

Hinata clearly saw what kind of demon was hidden within that small body that was fighting against Kazama-sensei.

A strange, dark blue chakra that exudes an evil aura;
The surface is covered with blood vessels, forming a hard and dense periosteal armor like a steel plate;

Expansive and developed muscle lines that cause physiological discomfort;

Even more terrifying are the eyes hidden beneath the periosteum.

Although the color of the pupils was slightly different, Hinata could still tell from the blood vessels around the eye sockets that it was the Byakugan, the bloodline limit of their Hyuga clan!
Ash Blossom is a monster in human skin! And he stole the bloodline of the Hyuga clan from who knows where!
An astonishing secret rushed into Hinata's mind without her permission.

dong dong dong...

Hearing the sound of Hairi passing by, Hinata held her breath, her arms wrapped around her chest, and shrank back like a frightened hedgehog, afraid of attracting the other's attention.

She didn't dare to breathe freely until Hui Li was far away.

A cowardly personality prevailed.

Hui Li's terrifying appearance had already traumatized her.

Since that day, even when Sasuke beat her up in the practical training session, she dared not activate her Byakugan, both for fear of alerting Hairi and because she didn't want to see that horrific scene again.

Her parents noticed her unusual behavior and asked what was wrong, but she didn't dare to tell them.

I heard that something happened in the clan recently, and my father has been busy investigating, so he hasn't had time to take care of her.

Hairi stole Hinata's bloodline limit.

I should tell my father!

but……

Hinata was terrified.

She didn't know what she was afraid of.

I'm just scared.

The mere thought of Hui Li's terrifying appearance made her tremble with fear, and she didn't even dare to entertain the thought of being her enemy.

In her sleep, she would always dream of:
A terrifying monster, covered in blood and bony spurs, tore open its pale skin and emerged, grinning as it wreaked havoc in the classroom.

Her classmates and family members were all killed.

If I were to inform on them, these scenarios would actually happen!
Hinata thought to herself, becoming even more determined to keep her mouth shut.

"Zhu Ri is so cute."

"Yes, my heart was pounding when she walked past me."

Two male classmates were having a loud discussion behind Hinata, oblivious to everyone else.

Hinata's heart, which had just settled down, jumped again, and as their voices grew louder, her heart leaped into her throat.

She didn't realize how cute Hui Li was.

She now felt as if she had thorns in her back and a fishbone stuck in her throat.

Could that terrifying monster be watching us?! What should I do?
Hinata got goosebumps all over just thinking about how Hairi was watching her.

Please, please, don't attract its attention.

People will die.

It will really kill people!

Hinata, who wished she could bury her head in the table, pouted and almost burst into tears.

Ino, sitting next to Hinata, also overheard the boys' chatter behind them. Looking at Hairi's cute face, then at Sasuke, Ino's gaze became increasingly conflicted.

……

"Alright, students, turn to page 21 of your history books. We'll continue our story about the Thousand Hands during the Warring States period..."

On the podium.

Iruka, holding a pointer, began another tedious lesson.

Hairi was unaware of Ino's inner turmoil, and even less aware that Hinata had discovered her secret.
Sasuke and Ino are just a side pawn.

It would be best if there were results, but it doesn't matter if there aren't.

Her main goal now is to begin training in Wind Release chakra nature transformation.

He took a leaf out of his pocket and placed it in his palm.

The leaves are oval-shaped and about the size of her palm, with a central vein extending into branches on both sides.

Gray Glass has no knowledge of leaves and doesn't know what kind of plant it is.

The chakra core of the heart trembled slightly.

Then, a surge of deep blue chakra gathered in his palm.

hum!
The moisture in the air, stirred by the chakra, eagerly tried to gather, but was firmly blocked by the gray glass.

The Three-Tails' power is indeed formidable.

Even though she didn't understand chakra nature transformation, she could control water jutsu as if it were instinct, and water vapor would come naturally with the slightest thought.

If she were in the humid Land of Water, the power of her Water Release techniques could more than double.

In comparison, Wind Release is not so favorable.

The chakra rippled and moved.

It quickly covered all the leaves.

What should I do next?
Hui Li frowned.

The original text only mentions cutting the leaves, but doesn't explain the specific method of doing so.

Is it going to be that chakra is to be shaped like a knife?

Within the Byakugan, the gray pupils contracted slightly, and an invisible power of chakra descended.

The mercury-like chakra instantly changed shape, and under the powerful control of the Byakugan, it was molded into a blade.

As the blade sliced ​​through, the leaf did indeed break into two sections as she had expected, but the cut in the middle was not smooth.

The leaf was cut off, but the veins remained connected, a far cry from the cut caused by the wind.

wrong!

Hui Li shook her head and dissipated the chakra that she had painstakingly condensed into a blade-like form.

This is a change in form, not a change in nature.

The blade formed from chakra lacked the extreme sharpness of Wind Release.

How to do it?

The first step presented a major challenge.

Without specific guidance on spiritual practice, the first thing to address if one wants to cultivate through self-realization is: which direction to strive in, and how to determine the correctness of that direction.

These are all problems!

The remaining moisture in the air condensed on the gray glass, and the misty deep blue chakra transformed into water, swirling above the leaves.

She decided to take a roundabout approach and first see how to use her water escape technique.

Both Water Release and Wind Release are characterized by fluidity.

Theoretically, they should have a strong similarity.

Understanding how attribute-neutral chakra is transformed into water release might help in comprehending the nature transformations of wind release.

A sharp glint flashed in his white eyes.

The blood vessels hidden under the blindfold swelled even more.

The chakra that had already turned into water was instantly magnified countless times, as if it were being observed closely under a microscope.

The clear internal chakra structure was immediately revealed.

No matter how many times.

Even Hui Li couldn't help but admire the powerful abilities of the Byakugan.

While it doesn't have as many evolutionary stages as the Sharingan, nor as high a limit as the Sage Body, the Byakugan is definitely top-notch in terms of support capabilities and adaptability to various abilities.

The water swirls and flows.

Observing with a blank stare, Gray Glass suddenly discovered that these bodies of water actually had two distinct structures.

The outer layer is just ordinary water, nothing else.

The inner layer, however, is quite different.

The water, formed by chakra nature transformation, still radiates chakra light in the Byakugan's vision.

It's not water at all.

It simply transforms from an illusory energy state into a matter state like flowing water.

Water flows, aggregates, and disperses.

In Gray Glass's vision, tiny chakra particles gather like water molecules, lining up to simulate the movement of water.

The so-called chakra nature transformation is essentially—

Mimicry?
Hui Li frowned.

Why does this thing feel both scientific and unscientific?
