Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

Chapter 99 Fishing
The next day.

News of the Uchiha clan's massacre spread throughout Konoha in an instant and outwards at an astonishing speed.

There was no more explosive news in Konoha, or even the entire ninja world.

The entire village, regardless of age or gender, was engaged in a heated discussion.

Wherever Hui Li goes, she hears all sorts of rumors about the Uchiha clan.

It is said that the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, presided over a memorial service specifically for the Uchiha clan massacre.

In his speech, he mentioned:
Itachi Uchiha, the genius of the Uchiha clan, murdered his entire clan and defected from Konoha; he was the culprit behind everything.

Konoha was founded by the Uchiha and Senju clans and made great contributions to the subsequent development of the ninja village, but unexpectedly, it suffered such a calamity.

He deeply regretted this.

He stated that he would not tolerate Itachi Uchiha's bestial act of murdering his own family, classifying him as an S-rank rogue ninja of Konoha and vowing to bring him to justice.

In the end, all the blame was placed on Itachi Uchiha.

The fact that the Uchiha clan rebelled was covered up, and no one has yet discovered how Itachi managed to kill the entire clan in such a short time. No one dares to question these loopholes.

This is already the best result.

The Uchiha clan's achievements and glory in establishing the village were preserved, and Konoha did not kill the meritorious families.

The invincible Uchiha clan died at the hands of their own people, thus preserving their last bit of pride and dignity.

The once bustling Uchiha clan now has hundreds of corpses with their eyes wide open in discontent, leaving only a disheartened young man.

Sasuke is hospitalized.

It is said that he suffered severe trauma, resulting in psychological injury, and is temporarily unable to attend school.

The school's survival drills continue.

However, some changes have been made to the rules.

What was originally a simple outing turned into a real survival exercise, much like an exam.

With the Uchiha threat gone, everything in the village seemed to be back on track.

Plop plop...

A pale gray swift flew over the gray-glass head, and a large rat in the grass plunged headfirst into its hole, leaving only its two small legs pushing the mud outside.

A hint of coldness flashed in Hui Libai's eyes.

Something's wrong with these animals.

These past few days, aside from attending her regular classes at the ninja academy, she has spent the rest of her time locked at home, searching for the source of that inexplicable feeling of being watched.

Unfortunately, nothing came of it.

Until she left home this morning.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw several sparrows perched on the wall, and a strange sense of familiarity suddenly welled up in her mind.

Recall carefully.

She was suddenly surprised to find that every time she went out, several small animals would appear directly in front of the gate.

Sometimes it's a swallow.

Sometimes it's a sparrow.

There was even a black chipmunk holding pine nuts.

This happening once or twice is one thing, but if it happens every time you open the door, then it's clearly not normal.

Someone is using these animals to spy on her.

Her purpose is not yet clear, but it may be that she attracted the attention of others by practicing Soft Fist in the Dead Forest, which is full of wild animals.

Carrying a schoolbag.

Hui Li, returning home from school, squinted as she watched the sparrows land on the eaves once again.

Then, pretending not to have noticed, he pushed open the door.

Go back inside the house.

Bai Yan peered through the sparrows on the rooftop, and seeing them chirping, he stealthily flew to the window, peeking out with his slightly bulging eyes to observe them.

Separated by transparent glass.

The white of his eyes met the bird's eyes.

Hui Li finally figured out the source of that inexplicable feeling of being watched.

This led to even greater doubts.

There really is no chakra.

How did you do it?
No matter how many times you scan with your white eyes, you can't find any special traces in the other person's body.

Aside from its unusual behavior, it's just an ordinary bird.

A secret technique that allows you to control ordinary animals without needing chakra? That's incredible.

Hui Li shook her head.

The ninja world is full of all sorts of strange and wonderful ninjutsu, but no matter what kind, chakra is an indispensable source.

Relying on the Byakugan's ability to see through things and its unique ability to see chakra, Hai Li always maintains an advantage in intelligence, and she has even developed a path dependency.

It's not Gray Glass's fault.

These eyes are just so useful.

Roll your eyes.

All the issues are clear at a glance.

She pays more attention to those with chakra, but ignores those without chakra with a casual glance.

If it weren't for the animals' surveillance, she wouldn't have noticed this habit of relying too much on eye-rolling.

Hui Li suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, the harm caused by this bad habit came early, giving her room to correct it.

If the future takes place during a battle, and the enemy suddenly uses some ninjutsu that the Byakugan cannot detect, she might pay an extremely heavy price if she is careless.

Even Kaguya was captivated by Naruto's reverse harem, let alone her?
dong dong...

Hui Li walked to the window.

Watching the sparrows outside the window fly away in a panic, I quickly pulled the blue curtains shut.

She didn't know the other person's purpose.

But it's unlikely that he was an admirer of hers, let alone someone from the Anbu or Root, otherwise the Third Hokage and Danzo would have come to talk to her long ago.

The enemy must be eliminated!
The opponent's ninjutsu is troublesome if they don't have chakra.

Even the white eye cannot detect it.

Hui Li racked her brains but couldn't find a good solution.

It seems the only way is to lure the snake out of its hole, give the other party a chance to make a move, and let him reveal his own weakness.

With her current fighting strength.

Don’t say anything else.

With the power of the Eight Gates, even if she couldn't defeat an elite Jonin, she could always escape.

If the opponent has Kage-level strength...

This extreme case is not considered.

There are only a handful of ninjas with Kage-level strength in the entire world, and they are all well-known masters from their respective ninja villages.

If the monitor had that kind of power, the other party would have attacked her directly when she went to the Death Forest, and there would have been no need for her to hide here.

Quickly clarify the logic.

Gray Glass sensed that the danger inside wasn't too great, and decided to try fishing.

It took four days to catch this fish.

She made several special trips to the remote Death Forest.

After training, he used the ability of the Corpse Bone Pulse to perform a performance where he was completely exhausted, or even injured and unable to move due to practice.

The enemy never took the bait.

Gray Glass guessed.

Either the other party is very cautious or too weak, so even though Hui Li seems exhausted, the other party doesn't dare to make a move against her.

Either it's a surveillance system without chakra, lacking real-time capability. It can't transmit Hai Li's situation in real time, so the other party doesn't know Hai Li's condition at the time.

These two speculations may even coexist.

The other party was neither powerful nor capable of real-time monitoring, and was probably much weaker than she had imagined.

Although they hadn't met yet, Hui Li had already roughly deduced a lot of information about the other party.

The fishing plan is temporarily suspended.

Gray Glass had no better options left and could only test her patience against the unknown enemy.

In the blink of an eye.

It's Friday.

Hui Li followed her teacher and classmates to the north gate of Konoha's Zero Training Ground.

The three-day wilderness survival exercise has officially begun.
