Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

Chapter 23 Crows and Dogs

As the night grew darker, the stars and the moon disappeared, making the flames burning on the treetops appear even brighter.

The fire flickered.

The raven's eyes suddenly sharpened.

Raise your hand.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
Two cold beams of light flew toward Gray Glass's face.

At the same time, the bloodhound, wielding a blade as tall as a person, roared, channeled chakra into his feet, and stomped his foot hard, sending dust flying backward like arrows.

With the help of recoil force.

The bloodhound was already close, its long blade aimed at Gray Glass's abdomen. Its charge was incredibly fast; the blade arrived almost simultaneously with the shuriken.

The two forces, one above and one below, formed a pincer attack.

The kunai was still in the air.

Mist Raven, clutching a kunai, flanked Grey Glitter, his eyes fixed on every vital spot on her body. The slightest opening would send his shurikens swiftly to her death.

The opponent's escape route was blocked, so retreat was the only option.

But as soon as she takes a step back, Bloodhound immediately follows, and with her own pressure from the side, defeat is only a matter of time.

This is what his years of experience in the shadows taught him.

But everything today is destined to exceed his imagination.

Because he was about to face the first person in the ninja world in a thousand years to possess both the Byakugan and the Shikotsumyaku bloodline.

The complementary bloodline limits are destined to shine with endless brilliance in the hands of Hui Li.

Roll your eyes!

Gray Glass growled inwardly.

The blood vessels around his eyes bulged and spread to both sides of his cheeks.

Beneath the blindfold, his gray pupils were as sharp as an eagle's eyes.

hum!
The world seemed to slow down.

He held a shuriken to the side, his eyes like those of a hawk surveying its territory.

Holding a long sword, the bloodhound charged forward, kicking up clouds of dust.

The shuriken, gleaming coldly, spun in the air, and she could even see the purple stains painted on the blades of each one.

In terms of insight and dynamic vision alone, the Byakugan far surpasses the Sharingan. In the high-speed taijutsu clashes of ninjas, accurately striking the opponent's pressure points is a fundamental skill for every Hyuga ninja.

Calmly tilting its head left and right.

hiss.

Two spinning shurikens sliced ​​through the air, whizzing past Gray Glass's ears. The purple blades almost grazed her ears, but didn't hurt her in the slightest, not even cutting a single strand of her silver-gray hair.

Extreme accuracy and confidence stem from the terrifying observation from a God's-eye view.

Both palms split open simultaneously.

laugh!
Two bone blades, each about 1.2 meters long, suddenly appeared in Hui Li's hands.

clang!
Bloodhound's longsword was deflected by Gray Glass's bone spikes.

The blade pierced through Gray Glass's body, exiting from his side and rear, yet not a drop of blood was drawn.

The other bone blade swept across.

It slashed at the bloodhound's chest.

Bloodhound missed its attack and retreated instantly, narrowly dodging Gray Glass's sweeping attack.

pity.

Gray Glass watched the Bloodhound retreat rapidly and thought to himself.

Clutching the bone blade in his hand, he retracted the blade, which had subtly extended to 1.4 meters during the swing.

Step on the ground.

All the muscles in his body contracted and tightened at the same time, chakra attached to the muscle groups, and infinite power was transmitted to his feet like a spring.

boom!
The immense force stomped a deep pit into the ground.

side.

The crow's eyes suddenly blurred.

The girl wielding the stark white bone blade had already charged into the Bloodhound's sight.

What a great speed.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
Two more shurikens flew out from the blind spot and pierced the back of Gray Glass's head.

He didn't even turn his head.

Gray Glass continued to charge forward in pursuit of the Bloodhound, casually knocking away shurikens with the bone spikes in her left hand behind her head.

the other side.

The bone spur on his right hand suddenly transformed into a broad-bladed, heavy sword as large as a door panel.

call!
Wielding a heavy sword, Gray Glass slashed down fiercely at Bloodhound's face. The intense wind pressure seemed to materialize.

Even before making contact, Bloodhound knew just how terrifying the power of this attack was.

But at that moment, he had no time to dodge.

He could only raise his long blade in an attempt to block the strange-looking weapon in the opponent's hand.

clang! ! !
The sound of metal clashing echoed in my ears.

The heavy, broad blade slammed into the slender blade, instantly shattering the thin blade in the middle with a mournful cry.

The bloodhound was thrown into a throbbing rage by the powerful impact.

The blade in his hand felt as if it had been kicked by an elephant. Even though he had filled his wrist with chakra to cushion the blow, the terrifying impact from the gray glass still caused his tiger's mouth to split open, bleeding profusely. His wrist and forearm were also covered in crimson.

Although they paid a heavy price, they managed to withstand the blow.

sieve!
Before the bloodhound could even catch its breath...

The bone blade that had just deflected the shuriken behind his head slashed down again.

It seemed impossible to hit him, but the blade strangely extended a lot, and a huge cleaver nearly two meters long fell from the sky, seemingly about to cleave his body vertically in two.

Doesn't she need to slow down?

Looking at the blade above his head, the desperate bloodhound had only one thought in his mind.

Water Release: Water Prison Technique!

Just as Gray Glass's blade was about to cleave the Bloodhound in two.

Mist Raven suddenly appeared behind Gray Glass.

Make the '卯' hand seal, then extend both hands forward.

An endless stream of water suddenly appeared in the space, abruptly transforming into two enormous hemispheres, as if a carnivorous plant trapping insects had sandwiched Gray Glass between them, about to close.

now.

Hui Li is caught in a dilemma.

If she retreats, the opportunity she has finally seized will slip away. But if she doesn't retreat, she will be trapped in the water prison and die from lack of oxygen after killing the bloodhound alone.

Ignoring everything else, Gray Glass continued to slash downwards, cutting the bloodhound in two with a single strike.

Blood was splattered.

The ashen gray in Hui Libai's eyes deepened, and the chakra within his body flowed into his eyes, transforming into boundless pupil power.

boom!
The glass suddenly shone through.

The water prison, carrying an astonishing force, was about to close in when it suddenly collapsed. The mist crows that had appeared out of nowhere, along with the bloodhound that had been cleaved in two, vanished without a trace.

"Is everything okay?"

far away.

Suddenly, the figure of Mist Raven, who was covering her forehead, appeared, supporting Bloodhound. Bloodhound, who was holding her injured arm, shook his head, and the two looked at the girl in the distance.

Bone blade retracts.

The slightly damaged heavy sword has been restored to its slender blade shape.

Hui Li, wielding two swords, slowly straightened up.

Head turned.

The blindfolded eyes mechanically locked onto the two of them.

Her fair, jade-like face remained calm and undisturbed; the brief but intense battle seemed to have had no effect on her whatsoever.

Minor damage to muscle tissue caused by exertion is rapidly repaired and healed by chakra, making the muscle lines hidden beneath the periosteum more resilient and taut.

Pores dilate.

laugh!
The visible, scorching steam emanating from within evokes images of giant steamships that frequently traversed the seas.

Combined with the girl's innocent and delicate face, and her mysterious eyes covered by a blindfold, the intense inhuman aura brought a substantial sense of oppression.

Gum!

far away.

Their Adam's apples bobbed simultaneously.

"Perhaps we shouldn't have taken on this mission."

First time.

The bloodhound, its voice hoarse, questioned its usually intelligent companion.

“Sometimes, those old folks do have a point,” Mist Raven said, his face grim as he endured the throbbing pain in his head.

The sky grew increasingly dark, with no light visible except for the flames.

at this time.

The true moment of twilight has arrived.
