Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

Chapter 78 Fear
The next day.

'Wind Release Clone' and 'Water Release Clone' went out for normal training, and after many days, Hui Li returned to the Ninja Academy.

Good morning, Gray Glass.

"morning."

Naruto, full of energy, spoke loudly, and the other friends came over one after another to say hello.

Thanks to 'Gai Ri's' deliberate efforts to befriend her, she became much closer to her classmates. Shikamaru and the others' initial unfamiliarity and fear gradually disappeared, and they would sometimes even make lighthearted jokes with her.

Hui Li would also discuss with them some knowledge about the changes in yin and yang qualities.

They would remain silent about any secret techniques involved.

However, when it comes to purely qualitative changes, they often offer unique insights, but this knowledge is too fragmented and unsystematic, and Gray Glass is still slowly exploring and organizing it.

dong dong...

The white cane tapped gently on the floor.

As Hui Li passed by Hinata in the aisle with her schoolbag on her back, her Byakugan, which had been maintaining a low-energy state, gradually began to glow.

An invisible power enveloped Hinata, who was sitting in the chair, making her look like a human-shaped toy in a transparent shop window, with nothing covering her from head to toe.

The clothes and skin were transparent, and the fresh, blood-red heart was pounding violently.

My heart is racing, I'm sweating, and my muscles are tense. This state... is definitely it.

Return to your seat.

Her last glimmer of hope vanished, and Gray's cold gaze locked firmly on the trembling Hinata, like a hawk soaring in the sky to catch a hare.

Bang Bang Bang!
Seeing that all the students had arrived, Iruka tapped the blackboard with his pointer.

"Students, take out your ninjutsu formula books and turn to page thirty-six."

Today we will mainly explain the specific meaning of each of the twelve hand seals in ninjutsu release.

The similarities and differences between single and double hand seals, the binary and ternary combinations of hand seals, the relationship between the different hand seals, and the meridian circulation formula diagram represented by each hand seal combination.

Very important!!!

The cockroaches rolled their eyes.

Iruka emphasizes this point in every lecture, and so far, he hasn't found a single lecture that isn't important.

Hinata opened the book and laid it out on the table.

He sat stiffly on the bench, shivering.

These past two days, that monster has been constantly appearing around her, even talking to her. It's terrified her, making her so restless she can't even utter a complete sentence.

She probably already knows!
She knew I had discovered her secret and was now plotting how to devour me piece by piece.

Hinata's eyes welled up with tears.

He turned around and pretended to take out a pencil case from his schoolbag, glancing at the silver-haired girl next to Naruto out of the corner of his eye.

Naruto was seen writing furiously on the blackboard.

The monster's face beside him—was directly facing him!

She's looking at me!

Hinata's brain buzzed.

If it weren't for the quiet classroom, she probably would have screamed in fear.

He sat up abruptly.

With her eyes fixed on Iruka's mouth opening and closing, Hinata couldn't hear a sound at all.

She was acutely aware of the power of the white eye.

The monster couldn't hide from her eyes, and her own abnormality was also hard to conceal from the monster's gaze.

The gaze from behind was more intense than the sunlight, making Hinata's toes clench, and her whole body seemed to itch and feel uncomfortable.

The more uncomfortable Hinata felt, the less she dared to show anything unusual.

Whoosh!

Hinata adjusted her breathing, trying to regulate her abnormal heart rate.

But her rapid breathing caused her heart rate to increase even more, and the thumping sound of her heartbeat was so loud that even Ino, who was standing next to her, noticed Hinata's nervousness.

Hinata, are you feeling unwell?

"Uh! I... I didn't."

Hinata bit her lip, rejecting her friend's concerned gaze.

Time passes slowly.

Hairi stared at Hinata, constantly applying pressure through her gaze. Since she couldn't kill Hinata directly, she could only try to exploit her weaknesses.

Afraid of me?

Then I'll scare her so badly that she'll never dare to reveal the secret, not even to think about it.

Aside from the murderous gaze.

Hui Li also manipulated the water vapor in the air, spreading it around Hinata.

In a hot and humid environment, people tend to feel anxious, which intensifies their stress.

In the humid air, the oxygen content becomes thin, and Hinata has to breathe frequently to provide enough oxygen for her brain. During this process, her body becomes more restless.

Psychological fear affects the body, and physical discomfort in turn reflects inner emotions.

By combining the two, Hairi continuously manipulates Hinata's inner fears.

Either collapse or escape...

"Don't think that hand seals are cumbersome or troublesome. Using hand seals to release ninjutsu is simple, stable, and less prone to mistakes. Combat is not child's play. Any mistake during the release of ninjutsu means death."

"It's about being fast and stable, not fast first and then stable..."

"Teacher, I... I need to go to the restroom."

Iruka's weak voice interrupted his lecture.

Hinata, with her hands raised, had a deathly pale face and her lips were completely bloodless.

Iruka nodded and continued writing and drawing on the blackboard with the chalk.

With permission, Hinata struggled to her feet.

I felt my legs were so tight and stiff, as if I had just run a 5,000-meter race.

I didn't even dare to look back.

After getting up, she quickly fled the suffocating classroom, but did not notice the curved corners of Hui Li's mouth behind her.

Click!

Close the wooden door to the classroom.

In the deserted school building corridor, Hinata leaned against the wall, panting heavily.

The cold marble walls blocked the sweltering air and also blocked the razor-sharp view.

She was finally able to relax a little.

Press your palm against your chest to soothe the intense pain.

Hinata breathed in the wonderful air outside, and the pressure that had been weighing her down finally eased.

Only after her fear subsided did she realize:
My whole body was soaked in sweat, sticky and wet, as if I had just been pulled out of a water tank.

My hands and feet felt weak and limp, and I could barely move them. Even my lower abdomen was throbbing with pain.

Go wash your face!
She tucked the strands of hair that had formed at her temples behind her ears.

Hinata, finally regaining her senses, leaned against the wall and slowly walked towards the public restroom.

Behind.

Hallway corner.

The silver-haired blind girl leaned against the wall, watching Hinata's staggering figure, her body hidden in the cloak making a creaking sound.

'Ninja School Gray Glass' has created the best space for her to be alone.

They even suppressed Hinata's mental state to its worst, leaving the final intimidation phase to be carried out by Hai Ri herself.

pat!

His lips split open on both sides of his cheeks, the scarlet flesh turned outwards, and blood streaks spread towards the back of his ears.

The bloody mouth opened.

The interior is filled with countless inverted sharp teeth.

Hui Li rolled her eyes at herself and felt that it was still inappropriate.

Another ring of sharp teeth will regenerate in the mouth.

With double-layered, nested sharp teeth, the mouth is filled with fangs that could terrify anyone with trypophobia, resembling a grotesque alien from a spaceship.

Hui Li nodded.

I am very satisfied with my current terrifying appearance.
