Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

This demon was far too naive to think it could ambush the Hyuga clan members with the Byakugan. With a "whoosh," Hinata unleashed several sword energies from her legs, cleanly severing the four evil arms.

As a descendant of the Hyuga clan, Hinata is naturally able to release chakra from all the pressure points on her body. So don't be fooled by Hinata's seemingly delicate and cute appearance; she is actually a rose with thorns, even more difficult to deal with than a hedgehog.

Just like the colorful fairy robes worn by the kidnapped Queen of Zhu Zi to defend against Sai Tai Sui, Hinata can also release colorful light at the right time and generate "poisonous thorns" at any time to defend against the invaders.

"Hmph, what an ungrateful fellow." Hinata snorted coldly. Originally, she wanted to observe it a little longer, but now she felt that this demon was too disgusting and it was better to just destroy it on the spot.

And so, Hinata kicked the demon whose head was almost fully regenerated into the swamp, and then she herself, radiating a dazzling light, leaped into the dark swamp pool.

"Return to Heaven!" Hinata spun around, forming a spherical ball of light, and released her chakra, which transformed into a terrifying storm of sword blades that swept across the entire swamp.

The demon, split into three, didn't even have a chance to scream before it was instantly shredded by the waterspout mixed with terrifying sword energy, as if it had been sent into a blender, and was quickly turned into a smooth and delicate foam like soy milk.

Hinata showed no sign of stopping, continuing to spin. With Hinata's massive chakra supply, the range of the rotation continued to expand, growing from a sphere the height of a person to almost bursting open the entire swamp. Furthermore, the surface of the ball of light was tinged with a layer of orange-red flames, completely burning the entire swamp to ashes.

Boom! Soon, a loud explosion was heard, the ground cracked open, and Hinata, whose body was shining with the residual light of fire attribute chakra, like a phoenix goddess, jumped out of the shadows on the ground unharmed, without even a speck of dust or a wet patch on her body.

So-called immortality also has different levels. Immortality like that of demons, which relies on demon blood cells and is somewhat scientific, is nothing but a joke in front of Hinata, who can achieve miracles with sheer force.

Hinata originally just wanted to try to find a way to relieve stress by punching this supposedly immortal creature into mincemeat. That was one solution.

Chapter 441

Let's also see if it can really be restored. If it can, then enjoy it a few more times. After all, Hinata has to always hold back during Konoha's daily training to avoid hurting others.

Unfortunately, the ghost was too ugly and disgusting, which spoiled Hinata's mood, so Hinata ground it into powder as quickly as possible and then burned it to ashes.

Gulp~ Shikamaru swallowed hard. His legs trembled slightly. Hinata's fierce and terrifying presence even reminded him of his strict mother. No, this was a tigress even more terrifying than his mother.

Thinking of this, Shikamaru silently took two steps back, but he felt more and more at ease. If he could hold onto Hinata's coattails, then his trial was basically a sure thing.

Just then, a flash of light appeared, and a card shimmering with white light floated in front of Hinata.

"What's this? Did a monster drop some equipment?"

Looking at the portrait on the card that was exactly the same as the demon she had just killed, and the "R" on the card, everything seemed just like those gacha games that Hiruko-sensei developed for Tsunade that required spending money. Hinata couldn't help but feel curious.

As Hinata received the card, a stream of information entered her mind.

【Slime Ghost】

Race: Shadow

Characteristic: Immortality (pseudo)

Weaknesses: Sunlight, thirst for flesh and blood

Blood Demon Arts Skills: Shadow Slime, Physical Clone

The Shadow Slime can hide in a dark, murky, and oxygen-scarce alternate dimension. It can move freely by smoothly sliding along the surfaces of objects in the real world, and can launch surprise attacks from the ground, walls, and even the sky.

The physical clone can split into ten physical flesh-and-blood clones, each possessing a portion of its own personality, for attack or escape.

Number of uses: 5

How to use: The user can shout, "I'm not human anymore!"

By injecting their own chakra into the card, they can briefly gain the power within the card, achieving a slime-demon transformation effect that lasts for 3 minutes and greatly enhancing their self-healing abilities.

It enhances strength and physical attributes, allowing the use of Blood Demon Arts, with a certain chance of mastering its profound secrets after the usage time expires.

"It's the teacher's weird sense of humor again."

Hinata was somewhat speechless. "If such a strong character can only be rated as an R card, then just how powerful must the SSR characters in this trial dungeon be?"

Hinata had clearly treated this trial like a game, but the dropped items made her somewhat uninterested, so she casually tossed the card to Shikamaru.

"This is... for me?"

Shikamaru was a little confused as he instinctively caught the card.

Upon receiving the card, Shikamaru also gained information about it. Although it had many flaws and limitations, it was still a card with its own dimension, and it even gave the user a certain chance to master space-time ninjutsu. In Shikamaru's opinion, this card was still very valuable.

"Can't you tell? This card must have been prepared for you by the teacher." Hinata pouted.

Moreover, this ghost is really too ugly, not attractive at all, and its abilities are all over the place. The dark slime pool is filthy, and its stealth and sneak attacks don't fit its style of killing disobedient people with one punch.

"Huh?" Shikamaru was a little confused.

"Think about it, why did you happen to encounter this ghost as soon as you landed? And its ability is a perfect match for you, and its combat power is very weak. It's obviously a pet prepared for you to level up. It's just a pity that you didn't understand your teacher's good intentions at all and only thought about running away."

Hinata revealed a look that said, "After the trial is over, Shikamaru, you'll definitely be dragged into nightmares by Gengar for extra lessons."

"Huh?"

Shikamaru scratched his head. "I think it's just that I'm unlucky..."

"Furthermore, the Hyuga clan's origin goddess, Kaguya-hime, possesses the ability of Amenominaka, which allows her to freely weave space and has many unique alternate dimensions with special terrains."

Shikamaru held up the card and said, "Hinata, rather than saying you're a better match for me, I think this is a seed that Hiruko-sensei prepared for you."

Regardless of who this "experience point baby" was intended for, it has already been killed by Hinata, so it is Hinata's spoils of war, and Shikamaru dares not accept it with a clear conscience.

After all, although everyone had received education from Master Hiruko, there were differences in their closeness. If Hinata was a beloved disciple, then Shikamaru was a nominal disciple who was given away as a bonus with a phone plan.

As an unlucky guy who was directly thrown to Gengar by Hiruko and played with to the point of ecstasy, Shikamaru has a clear understanding of his own position and is quite self-aware.

He was not exactly a hard-working player; he always believed in the philosophy of "never stand up if you can lie down," and only thought about clinging to the coattails of his seniors to be a comfortable slacker.

As luck would have it, Shikamaru managed to latch onto Hinata's coattails, and from then on, everything went smoothly for him, allowing him to comfortably become a support character.

Throughout the entire process, he simply watched Hinata display her power from the sidelines, only lazily intervening when the enemy tried to escape, using the Shadow Imitation Technique to immobilize them.

When recruiting students, he transformed into a cunning strategist and a reassuring counselor, using his silver tongue to charm them.

Along the way, Hinata has killed many demons, and the team of companions she rescues has continued to grow. The amount of food she is expected to collect is also increasing, which has temporarily relieved Hinata's food crisis.

For most people, as long as they can get through this trial, food is not their biggest concern. After all, it's only for three days. At worst, they can eat sparingly and go hungry for a few meals.

However, there are also some people who value food very much. In their view, taking food away from them is worse than killing them, such as the chubby little boy, Choji Akimichi.

"Shikamaru, are we really going to hand over half of our food?" Choji Akimichi asked with great distress, his expression as if someone was about to cut off his flesh.

If it weren't for his childhood friend Shikamaru insisting on dragging him along, he really wouldn't want to join Hinata's group.

Even if he were to die out there, he wanted to die with a full stomach! Watching Hinata sitting on the ground, enjoying her meal, Choji was filled with envy, his saliva dripping down his face, his eyes brimming with longing for food.

"Choji, if we want to pass this trial, we must rely on the strength of our companions. It is our good fortune to have met Hinata."

Shikamaru said with a headache, rubbing his temples as he patiently explained, "According to the current intelligence, this trial space is full of monsters with pseudo-immortality, so we must have the ability to target 'immortality'."

"But unfortunately, neither you nor I have this ability, so we must rely on the strength of our companions."

"How to find a way to subdue demons, or to find a companion who can subdue demons—I think this is also part of the trial that will be tested." Shikamaru said confidently, as if he had already seen through everything.

But Choji's face fell, and he could only sigh resignedly.

In fact, Shikamaru knew in his heart that it wasn't impossible for him to cooperate with Choji.

He was in charge of disrupting and controlling the enemy, Choji was in charge of crushing the enemy, then burning them with a flamethrower, and finally he used earth-escape techniques to separate and bury the charred flesh of the enemy.

However, this method cannot completely kill the enemy, and the enemies come in waves, each possessing a variety of strange blood demon techniques, so it's hard to guarantee that you won't be defeated.

So, I guess I'll just let Choji and I be content being lazy bums together.

Most importantly, Shikamaru and Choji are too young, their chakra reserves are insufficient, and they are not yet proficient in their family's secret techniques.

Even if you use Wood Release, you can only plant small saplings; you can't instantly drain the nutrients from a demon like some powerful figures can.

There are quite a few people who share Shikamaru's thoughts. They are gradually forming a group and seeking teammates who can counter the powerful regenerative abilities of the Destroyer Demon.

A genius like Naruto Uzumaki, who is famous throughout the village, is naturally the first choice for many people.

After all, if we're talking about targeting the regenerative abilities of demon blood cells, then the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken developed by the Fourth Hokage, a cellular-level needle-cutting ninjutsu, should be effective. Naruto's massive chakra reserves would also allow him to unleash a Rasenshuriken that covers the entire body of a demon.

Furthermore, the demon's self-healing ability has its limits, and Naruto Uzumaki's Wood Release is also very powerful. He might be able to forcibly drain the demon, turning it into a dry, skeletal shell that is difficult to regenerate.

Therefore, Naruto, like a dazzling sun, attracted countless people to gather around him.

Of course, there are also many stubborn kids who want to rely on their passion to rush through the dungeon, but unfortunately they are not the main characters. Most of them are eliminated by the demon's powerful regenerative ability and strange blood demon magic, including the two unlucky guys, Rock Lee and Kiba Inuzuka, from the future twelve Kyo Kusanagi.

Xiao Li was just unlucky. The Eight Gates Formation he learned was purely physical attack. Although he also practiced Ripple Qi Gong, Ripple Qi Gong was not related to his demon profession.

Moreover, he had only been valued by Guy for a short time, and his foundation was insufficient. He did not have the profound skill that Naruto possessed, which allowed him to achieve miracles through sheer force. Overall, he was unable to inflict effective damage on the demons, and since he did not choose to escape, he was ultimately worn down to death by the demons.

Kiba Inuzuka, on the other hand, was one of the twelve Konoha 12 forgotten by Hiruko, and no one helped him out. To this day, he still can't even use the full set of Kiba Twisters.

Although he had a keen sense of smell, he was also somewhat arrogant before he was truly beaten down by society, so his ending was naturally not very good.

……

"Die!" Spider silk harder than steel was wielded by Rui, the fifth lower moon, like bolts of black lightning, easily slicing the surrounding earth and rocks into pieces, and also shredding a hooded man wearing sunglasses.

However, the man in the shattered sunglasses instantly transformed into a swarm of black insects, revealing that it was not his true form at all.

"Is this the enemy's Blood Demon Art? It seems rather simple. We can tentatively consider it as a ninja tool that manipulates steel wires. It's not very strong." Shino Aburame, who had just been cut to pieces, stood next to his best friend Torune Aburame and muttered to himself.

After the initial probing, he had a general understanding of the ghost's strength.

"Then let's just solve it directly," Aburame Torune said, her eyes turning cold.

"Yes." The oil-loving brothers reached a consensus.

"Annoying bugs." Lei cursed irritably, his hands quickly forming hand seals, "Blood Demon Art: Killing Eye Cage!"

Blood flowed from his fingers, instantly staining the white spider silk red and further strengthening its rigidity.

With a flick of his wrists, as if playing cat's cradle, he instantly wove a blood-red spider web capable of binding the enemy from all directions, intending to seize the two and strangle them in one fell swoop.

"Secret Technique: Poison Dust Technique!" Aburame Torune blew out the poisonous insects that had gathered between his hands in one breath.

A thick purple fog instantly enveloped the restless weariness, followed by a chilling scene.

Lei, who was originally quite arrogant, was instantly eroded by the "toxins," and his entire body turned purple.

The terrifying nano-sized venomous insects obtained a large amount of nutrients from the ghoul's cells and flesh, and began to multiply rapidly.

Even with the demon's regenerative abilities, it was powerless to resist these nanoscale venomous insects and was completely eroded from the inside out by these terrifying insects.

He didn't even have time to utter a last word before he could only roll his eyes and die on the spot. His half-activated Blood Demon Art became limp and was then bitten to pieces by Shino's Parasitic Worms.

"It's an R card. Do you want it, Shino? This spider demon's ability might be used to breed new species of insects." Aburame Torune handed the card to Shino, a hint of anticipation on his face.

Although Rui was once a Lower Moon 5, he is still only an R-rank card according to Hiruko's rarity classification, because in Hiruko's opinion, his Blood Demon Art is not as good as the useless Spider Gold Sticker Secret Technique of Orochimaru's subordinate Kidomaru.

“Okay.” Shino Aburame didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted it directly.
