Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

Chapter 6 Abnormality
Hui Li, leaning on her white cane, strolled leisurely into the lobby on the first floor of the Water Shadow Building.

The dark strip of cloth in front of him had no effect whatsoever on his clear white eyes.

no way.

Her eye-rolling was too noticeable.

With the cash she found at Hoshino's house, she went to a clothing store and bought a set of clothes and a blindfold. After changing out of the ill-fitting clothes and covering her covetous Byakugan, she dared to walk in Kirigakure in her true form.

Ding Ding!

The ground was changed from dirt road to ceramic tile, which makes a crisp and pleasant sound when tapped.

The chakra synthesized from the heart flows into the Byakugan through the meridians. Under the blindfold, the pupils contract forcefully. The Byakugan, which is capable of seeing through everything within a kilometer, is greatly limited in the Mizukage Building.

Within sight, countless chakra-infused barriers and seals protected the Mizukage's building layer by layer. Chains formed from a different type of chakra strangled the building like giant serpents seizing their prey.

It's impossible to see through it.

Especially the Water Shadow Office at the very top, which is almost isolated from the building by sealing techniques and an unknown, strangely colored barrier.

Its tight security made it look less like the office of a village shadow and more like a secret prison where death row inmates were held.

Has Obito Uchiha been discovered?

Uncertain in her mind, Hui Li, leaning on her cane, followed the staff to the front desk in the lobby on the first floor.

"Little sister, what's the matter?"

The female ninja, sitting on a stool behind the stage, crossed her legs and trimmed her nails, her eyes scanning the blind woman in front of her.

"I want to post a task."

Putting down her work, the female ninja took out a mission sheet and a set of paper and pen for formulaic note-taking.

"Escort me to the Fire Country's Tanabata Street..."

The pen paused on the paper: "The reason?"

Hui Li frowned.

What she really wanted to go to was Konoha Village.

I just couldn't say it directly, so I randomly picked a place name that I was familiar with from a comic book in my past life.

Konoha is located in the Land of Fire, the most prosperous of the Five Great Nations, with abundant land and a pleasant climate.

Having watched the anime, Hui Li is most familiar with the situation there, and can take full advantage of her knowledge of the original plot.

Although Konoha faces many crises, in Hai Li's view, crises are not scary; what is scary is the unknown.

No matter what kind of crisis it is, as long as you know about it in advance, you can avoid it with ease.

Most importantly, the Hyuga clan of Konoha is her maternal clan. Going there to obtain the protection of the Hyuga and Konoha can help her escape the pursuit of the Hidden Mist Anbu. Moreover, she is different from ordinary Hyuga clan members.

Her mother was from the Hyuga main family.

As the eldest daughter of the main branch of the Hyuga clan, she was naturally a true member of the main branch, and the Hyuga clan's most disgusting 'Caged Bird' cursed seal had no effect on her.

If she successfully reaches Konoha, she can return to the Hyuga clan as the main branch's daughter. At that time, she will possess two of the top-tier bloodline limits and inheritances in the ninja world, and will have Konoha and the Hyuga clan as her backing, providing her with resources and protection.

Before Shippuden began, she had almost no need to worry about her life being threatened.

This was the best choice she made after careful consideration.

As for why she needed a Hidden Mist ninja to escort her, the reason was simple—she didn't know the way to the Land of Fire.

The ninja world is not Earth.

There's no convenient high-speed rail here, no Baidu Maps, and certainly no smooth roads. In this life, Hui Li is only six years old and has never even left Kirigakure.

The journey from Kirigakure to Konoha spanned countless kilometers across the ocean.

She didn't even know where to buy a ticket to the Land of Fire.

Thoughts swirled in my mind.

Seeing that Hui Li hadn't replied for a while, the female ninja assumed she didn't want to reveal her privacy. She paused for a moment, then patiently explained:
"Missions are classified into five levels from highest to lowest: S, A, B, C, and D. If the danger level of a mission cannot be determined, it can easily lead to unnecessary casualties and mission failure. Therefore, we must know the reason for the mission before dispatching ninjas to carry it out."

reasonable.

Gray Glass nodded and made up something on the spot:
“My dad has been missing for two months. Before he left home, he said he was going to Tanabata Street in the Land of Fire and would be back soon, but he hasn’t returned yet. I’m very worried and want to go find him…”

The female ninja remained unmoved by Hui Li's story, diligently taking notes while talking non-stop:
"Due to the long distance, this mission is tentatively designated as a C-level escort mission, with a commission of 10,000 taels."

Please pay half of the commission fee as a deposit first, and the remaining commission fee will be paid upon completion of the mission. If it is discovered during the mission that you have concealed anything or that the difficulty of the mission far exceeds the assessment level, the escort ninja has the right to refuse to perform the mission, and the deposit will not be refunded…

The female ninja spoke at a rapid pace and with clear enunciation, like a rapid-fire monologue.

Hui Li took off the package on her back and counted out several large silver notes to pay. "Okay, please leave your address. We will notify you as soon as a ninja accepts a mission." Although she was a little surprised that Hui Li, who was blindfolded, could count out exactly 5000 silver notes, the female ninja did not ask any questions out of curiosity.

When it comes to work, it's better to avoid trouble.

Having worked in this line of work, she'd seen all sorts of people. She'd met all sorts of strange individuals and heard all sorts of tragic stories. Her compassion and curiosity had long been exhausted by the endless stream of missions and assignments.

"Misty Inn, Room 304".

"Within one business day, a ninja will notify you to stay in the hotel and not wander around."

After the female ninja wrote down the hotel address, Gray Glass walked out of the Mizukage Building with her cane.

It was already past dawn.

The mist on the mountaintop slowly dissipated, and the unobstructed sunlight was dazzling.

Hui Li blinked hard to relieve the double vision caused by the strong light. Her white eye had a 360-degree field of vision, so she couldn't help but look at the sun even if she wanted to.

Walking down the central street with my head down, I saw pedestrians still discussing the extermination of the Bamboo Clan, but their discussions were no longer about the Bamboo Clan.

In Kirigakure, countless bloodline ninja clans have perished, and people have long since become numb to it.

If it weren't for the conspiracy theory that the Water Shadow was plotting to steal the treasure, this topic wouldn't even need to be discussed.

Sudden.

Hui Li noticed something was wrong with her body; an unbearable tingling and itching seemed to be coming from her flesh and blood.

After walking only a few steps, my body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Uh... what's going on?

Suppressing the strange sensations emanating from her body, Hui Li quickened her pace and hurried away.

dong dong dong...

Pedestrians on the roadside heard the familiar knocking sound and hurriedly turned around in confusion, just in time to see the blind woman who had been cautiously moving forward. Now, she was symbolically tapping the ground with her cane, her steps were brisk as if she were running.

He immediately wiped his eyes with the back of his hand.

Subsequently, the conversation shifted from current affairs to urban legends.

I hurried back to the hotel.

After locking the door, Hui Li removed the blindfold and sat cross-legged on the bed, looking inward at herself.

The blood vessels on both sides of the whites of the eyes are bulging.

Then, the 'Chakra Seed' emanating a radiant light within his heart trembled slightly, and chakra, like flowing water, surged into his eyes through his meridians, transforming into 'eye power'.

The pale gray pupil in the center of the white of the eye contracts and focuses, turning into a deep, lifeless gray.

Hui Li manipulated more chakra to surge into her eyes until the surging 'eye power' made them sting.

hum!
It felt as if we had broken through some barrier, or cleared some level.

She could clearly see herself sitting cross-legged on the bed, instantly becoming transparent, with blue chakra flowing continuously through her meridians.

The chakra gathered in his eyes, making them unusually bright.

Beneath her fair, jade-like skin, crimson flesh and stark white bones were no longer concealed in the slightest. The beautiful girl had been transformed into a pink skeleton, with every trembling muscle texture, writhing fascia and connective tissue, and even the bodily energy flowing from the jubilant cells clearly visible under the gaze of the white-eyed man.

This, this is...

Swallowing and spitting blood, the slowly writhing internal organs moved wildly within Hui Li's body under her shocked gaze. The muscle cells gathered into strands of flesh that twisted like steel bars, contracting and closing, and the flesh and fat throughout the body swam freely like fish.

The bones stood erect and stretched, producing a teeth-grinding creaking sound.

It was as if their flesh and blood had gained their own consciousness. The tireless "corporate slaves" were no longer content with doing their jobs and began to dance freely.

How could this be?
The pulsating connective tissue stretched and coalesced, making Gray Glass's heart pound with fear, lest she accidentally rupture a blood vessel and cause massive bleeding.

However, her worries were clearly unnecessary.

The blood vessels that spread throughout the body twist and turn, moving flexibly with the body's expansion and contraction, much like a horsehair worm.

Suppress your panic.

Hui Li calmed down and observed carefully.

With his keen eyesight, he gradually discovered that the activation of his flesh and blood had its own unique operating rules. The changes in his flesh and blood followed a specific order, starting with the head and face, then the neck, chest, and abdomen, and now the waist and legs.

The activated areas are from top to bottom, from head to toe.

The source should be...

Roll your eyes! ?
