Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

Chapter 62 Sasuke's Dark History
Hui Li glanced at the nervous Sasuke, unable to figure out what his specific approach was.

Not convinced?

Want to take on the challenge again?
Unable to figure out what was going on, and since she was going downstairs to find some leaves anyway, she decided to see what he was up to.

"can."

Sasuke visibly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Hui Li had agreed.

The two then left the classroom one after the other.

Naruto's gaze followed Hairi's retreating figure, his inner turmoil unreadable. There seemed to be a sense of anger, a feeling that something of his own had been taken away by someone he disliked.

Sakura and Ino both felt the same anger.

"what's the situation?"

The two looked at each other, completely bewildered, like two Harley Quinns.

What does Sasuke want with Hairi? Is he going to confess his feelings?
Thinking of Sasuke's tense expression, a terrible thought arose simultaneously in the minds of the two love-struck individuals.

"No, it's impossible!"

Ino covered her ears with both hands, and Ke Yun's emoji expression came to life.

She can't accept it.

Sakura's green eyes reddened: "How could Sasuke like her? She beat Sasuke up so badly!"

While the outward Sakura could barely maintain her composure, the inward Sakura was already roaring in her heart!
Does Sasuke actually like this violent type?!

The more you hit him, the more he likes it?
Their suspicions grew increasingly outrageous. The two exchanged a glance and, with remarkable tacit understanding, temporarily formed an alliance before rushing out of the classroom together.

Seeing Sakura and the other girl leave, Naruto gritted his teeth, put down his schoolbag, and rushed out with them.

The blue-haired, white-eyed loli lay silently on the table, lost in thought.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Kiba and Shikamaru, one on each side, grabbed a handful of potato chips from in front of Choji and chewed them heartily.

What a wonderful experience.

"Shikamaru... *crack*... Should we follow them and take a look...?" Choji puffed out his cheeks, his chubby face full of curiosity.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Akamaru kicked his legs anxiously on top of Kiba's head.

Shikamaru didn't want to move, but he was also very curious. After being encouraged by the two of them, he became even more eager to go.

"Let's go!"

Kisami Shikamaru was tempted, too lazy to ask this lazybones any more questions, grabbed one of them by the collar and rushed out of the classroom.

As soon as the three of them went downstairs, they saw three heads—one pink and two yellow—poking out from the flower bed on campus, gritting their teeth as they looked at two figures in the distance.

Soon, three more heads appeared in the flower bed.

"Shikamaru, Choji, what brings you here?"

Ino was extremely surprised.

"Shh!"

Raise your index finger.

Everyone, including Akamaru, shut their mouths and focused on observing the movements in the distance.

"what's up?"

Hui Li looked at Sasuke.

He didn't say a word from the moment he came downstairs, leading her a long way without even picking up the fallen leaves.

I don't know what's so mysterious about it.

Sasuke checked his surroundings and, after confirming that only he and Hairi were left, he thought for a long time before finally speaking:
“Zhu Ri, I…I want to apologize to you.”

"what?"

Hui Li raised an eyebrow.

Looking at Sasuke's flushed face after he finished speaking, I wonder what he was up to.

"I'm sorry, I... I violated the rules by using ninjutsu during yesterday's combat lesson, putting you in danger. I'm very sorry, this is my apology letter, I hope you... can forgive me."

Sasuke offered a halting apology, then pulled a hastily written letter from his pocket, handed it to Hairi, and turned his face away as if unwilling.

Hui Li nodded knowingly.

"Was it arranged by Teacher Iruka?"

"Yes." Sasuke was visibly relieved after apologizing.

Yesterday, after the practical training session, he was punished by Iruka for using ninjutsu to attack Hai Li, which violated the rules. He was required to write a 3,000-word apology and personally apologize to the victim, Hai Li.

He apologized to Hui Li, who had defeated him and made sarcastic remarks.

This excessive demand was worse than death for the proud Sasuke.

But he couldn't refuse Iruka's request.

He disregarded the honor of the Uchiha clan, violated the rules by using ninjutsu, and still suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Hairi despite his sneak attack. If this were to reach his father's ears, he would probably be utterly disappointed in him!
Just thinking about the disappointed look in my father's eyes...

Sasuke felt that apologizing to Hairi wasn't so hard to accept after all.

"Okay, I see."

Gray Glass, lacking interest, gave a perfunctory reply.

She thought Sasuke was unconvinced and wanted to challenge her again! But it turned out to be just an apology, something so boring.

What a waste of time.

Sasuke was stunned.

Sasuke, who had expected to be humiliated and tormented by Hui Li, was prepared for this, but he never expected that Hui Li would let him off so easily.

Seeing that Hui Li was being perfunctory and didn't seem to be willing to accept even her apology letter, she realized that Hui Li was not going to accept it.

While Sasuke was relieved that she hadn't made things difficult for him, a surge of anger suddenly rose within him.

He hesitated and felt uneasy for so long.

I tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, and only this morning did I decide to abandon my dignity and apologize to her, but it seems that all of that is worthless in front of Hui Li.

She didn't forgive herself at all; she simply didn't care.

She held him in utter contempt and didn't take him seriously at all. The sparring in the practical class, or the sneak attack with the Great Fireball Technique, was nothing more than child's play to her.

This disregard is an emotion that goes even further than contempt.

How abominable!
Sasuke couldn't accept it at all.

As the son of the Uchiha clan leader and the class's number one student, he was always admired by his classmates. This feeling of being ignored by his rivals completely crushed his strong sense of self-esteem.

What's wrong?
Sasuke's face turned even redder, and he glared at her, his teeth grinding together as if he were about to awaken his Sharingan at any moment.

Hui Li didn't know what was wrong with him either.

Rabies attack?
It can't really be about awakening the Sharingan!

Almost his entire family was wiped out before he awakened his first tomoe under the torment of Tsukuyomi. As for Sasuke's trash talent, Hui Li never took it seriously.

Especially after learning about the relationship between chakra and life force.

Sasuke's importance to her had dropped to the lowest level.

Without chakra support, the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is terribly useless. It's even inferior to the Byakugan before reaching the Mangekyou Sharingan, and entering the Mangekyou Sharingan can easily lead to blindness.

Obito Uchiha's seemingly invincible Kamui was actually supported by Hashirama's cells.

Even Madara Uchiha, who possessed the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, would have been brutally beaten by Hashirama Senju if Kurama hadn't provided him with chakra.

Even the Rinnegan was nothing special in Hai Li's eyes.

It was only because the Rinnegan's owner was Nagato Uzumaki, whose chakra was inexhaustible, that he was able to drain anyone else of their life force in just a few moments.

"Do you have anything else?"

Hui Li's impatience was practically written all over her face.

Without experiencing the night of the massacre of his clan, Sasuke is still only a half-finished product, far from the genius avenger in the original work.

She simply couldn't muster any interest in Sasuke like that.

Wow!

Sasuke then pulled another letter out of his pocket.

The letter looked exceptionally clean and tidy, and was even solemnly wrapped in an envelope with three large characters written on it—"Challenge Letter".

He held an apology letter in his left hand and a challenge letter in his right.

Sasuke declared with great fanfare, "Sunburst Gray, I challenge you, in the name of the Uchiha!!!"

"Puch~"

The scene was so quirky and comical that Gray Glass couldn't hold back any longer.

I suddenly have a strong urge to record Sasuke as he is now and play it on repeat at his wedding with Sakura. I doubt he'll ever return to Konoha in his lifetime!
