Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

Chapter 47 Monster
The three fought for a long time.

We played until the break ended, and the next practical lesson was about to begin.

Even Sasuke Uchiha, who had been fighting for a long time without seeing any action from Hai Li, couldn't stand it anymore and left the classroom.

After beating up the others, they all left one by one.

They fought until the three of them were exhausted.

He snatched the notebook that Naruto was protecting from his arms, tore it to pieces, and threw it on the ground before he was satisfied.

"waste!"

After a cold, sarcastic remark, the group glanced at Hui Li, who hadn't moved an inch, and then ran out of the classroom laughing.

Golden beams of light illuminated the classroom.

Scattered notes fluttered in the air.

Dust stirred up in the air danced in the sunlight.

Only Hui Li and Naruto, who was lying on the ground with his hands covering his eyes and covered in dirt, remained in the classroom.

A faint sob could be heard.

"Does it hurt?"

Hui Li's cold voice eased Naruto's sobs, but then his body began to tremble even more violently.

Hui Li walked to Naruto's side.

Squat down.

At this moment, Naruto's orange clothes were covered in dust and shoe prints. His golden hair hung limply, and the arm covering his eyes revealed bare skin that was covered in bruises.

“Grey Glass, I…I gave you your notebook…”

"that's not important."

Water flowed from Gray Glass's sleeve, wrapping around Naruto's swollen wound.

The cold water seemed to neutralize the burning wound, and as the chakra surged, a warm sensation came from Naruto's wound.

A pale hand gently placed Naruto's hand aside, revealing his swollen face covered in tears.

Water streamed down her face, mingling with her tears.

Naruto's body was stiff.

Her wet, sky-blue eyes gazed up at the beautiful girl above her.

He had never been treated so gently by any girl before.

"Um... I'll buy you a new one tomorrow to make up for it."

"I told you, that's not important."

Hui Li looked down at Naruto, who was covered in wounds: "Do you know why you're being bullied?"

Naruto trembled, his eyes darting away: "I...they said I'm a monster."

"Do not."

Hui Li shook her head: "The truth is quite the opposite, you are not a monster."

"But they all say..."

"I was once called a monster too."

Hui Li interrupted Naruto's words, gazing up at the sky as if reminiscing:

"After I killed them all, no one called me a monster anymore."

"Now, everyone calls me a genius."

"You have the title of monster, but not the power of a monster. That's the root of why you're being bullied."

Naruto's heart trembled.

Putting the murder aside, he suddenly realized that what Hui Li said made a lot of sense.

If he had the power of Hui Li, would no one bully him anymore?

"But the people of Konoha all say I'm a monster."

Looking at Naruto, who stared blankly with eyes wide open as if he had just opened the door to a new world, Hui Li finally smiled: "Become stronger, become stronger than all of them!"

"I...I can't do it."

Naruto lowered his head.

Naruto, who was not yet fully developed, was far from the confidence and optimism of the original work.

A fair, jade-like hand suddenly appeared in front of Naruto.

Naruto subconsciously looked up, and the scene before him was one he would never forget.

The girl half-squatted on the ground and stretched out her palm towards him.

Her pink lips smiled, and the black blindfold could not hide her gentleness. The golden sunlight added a golden edge to the girl's silver-gray hair, making her dazzling and holy.

"I'll help you."

Three simple yet unfamiliar words brought Naruto to the point where he could no longer hold back his tears.

Tears filled her eyes.

The world was shrouded in tears, but one figure radiated golden light, reaching out his hand and quietly waiting for him.

His bleak life finally saw a glimmer of light at this moment.

"Grey Glass, why didn't you help me just now?" "Boys your age are quite concerned about their image. You probably wouldn't like the nickname 'coward who hides behind a woman.'"

Okay, let's hurry, we're going to be late.

Naruto looked at Hairi, who was using Water Release to clean his wounds, and his face burned.

If one can be protected by gray glass, then saving face might not be so important.

……

"The first real battle: Uchiha Sasuke versus Hyuga Hinata."

On the training ground.

Holding the manual, Iruka Umino announced the official start of the next match.

He already knew about Naruto and Hairi's situation.

Ninja Academy is not a place for playing house; fighting is the norm here. As long as things don't get too out of hand, the students are responsible for resolving their own issues.

Whether or not Hui Li takes practical classes is actually irrelevant.

Even if all the students in the elite class, including his teacher, joined forces, they probably wouldn't be a match for her.

Let's take Naruto's words as a preview of the actual battle.

"Form the seal of opposition!"

The two formed hand seals and stared at each other.

With his hands in his pockets, Sasuke, with his black hair and black eyes, exuded confidence.

Hinata, with her blue hair and white eyes, pretended to be full of confidence as she assumed the Gentle Fist stance.

"Please advise." *2
boom!
Sasuke pushed off the ground with one foot, propelling his body forward.

He threw a punch aimed at Hinata's face.

Hinata narrowed her eyes in fear, tilted her head to dodge the jab, and then struck the abdomen with a backhand Bagua Palm, which was blocked by Sasuke's knee.

The two exchanged blows, the sounds of their bodies colliding crackling loudly.

"Grey Glass, how do you think I should become stronger?"

Just as Iruka was scoring Sasuke and Naruto, Hairi and Naruto walked out of the school building and headed straight for the training ground.

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.

Hui Li walked calmly ahead.

Naruto followed behind Hairi, chatting and laughing. The dirty shoe prints on his orange-yellow clothes had been washed away, and apart from a slight bruise around his eyes, his injuries had almost disappeared.

"Uh……"

Hinata seemed to be distracted by the arrival of Hai and Ri, and was knocked to the ground by Sasuke's powerful blow to the abdomen. Her little chubby face immediately scrunched up in pain.

"Hinata, I've told you so many times, don't get distracted during battle!"

"Sasuke fought very well, ten points!"

Iruka scribbled and drew in his notebook.

"Sasuke is so strong!"

Looking at Sasuke, who stood proudly in the center of the playground, Sakura and Ino cupped their faces in their hands and looked at him, their emerald green eyes almost shooting out hearts.

Hinata endured the pain and got up from the ground.

Seeing Hui Li approach, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at her.

dong dong dong...

"Iruka-sensei."

Hui Li led Naruto to the training ground.

Thinking that Hui Li and the others were going to report the bullying, the three girls immediately shrank back in fear.

"Naruto fell down, and I was late taking him to the infirmary."

hmm~
I tripped and fell, and the fall hit my eye socket.

Then they had a newly arrived blind man take Naruto to the infirmary, and what's even more terrifying is—

The ninja academy didn't even have a health clinic.

The perfunctory lie made Iruka grin, his good impression of Gray from that morning completely vanished: "Alright, it's not your turn yet, go wait over there."

"Wait a moment!"

A clear, youthful voice interrupted loudly.

Sasuke looked at the silver-haired girl with her eyes covered, a strong fighting spirit surging across his handsome face.

Ever since he heard that this girl had defeated the Jonin Kazama Koshi, he had been eager to fight her.

I went home yesterday.

The father seemed to have heard about the girl's strength and highly recognized it, even encouraging him to strive to surpass Hui Li.

This made him very resentful.

If I can defeat her, my father will surely approve of me!

"Teacher, I want to have a real spar with Hui Li."

Ignoring Hinata's surprised eyes, Erzhuzi spoke with a firm gaze.
