Chapter 92
Two children can take down Biwa Jūzō.
All of us adults standing here, can it be that we can't even cooperate with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?
Kurenai Yuhi was completely stumped.
Finally, she could only snort, "I will report this matter to Hokage-sama!"
"Suit yourself."
Inaho sneered.
Hokage-sama cherishes the Fourth Hokage's son immensely, even willing to go to war with Kumogakure over him. What do you know?
"Long hair... short-sighted woman!"
Inaho's low growl reached Naruto's ears from behind him, and Naruto heard him.
Naruto paused his steps slightly, then walked deeper into the courtyard.
"Priestess-sama, hello..."
Naruto scratched his head, stood before the Priestess, and greeted her.
Taking this opportunity, he observed her up close.
How to describe it?
She truly is a woman with a noble aura.
Or rather: Shion's mother is so beautiful.
If the Priestess died, Shion would surely be heartbroken.
So Naruto secretly resolved in his heart that he must save Shion's mother.
Chapter 33: Hanabi's Birth, Yet the Scummy Maid Practices Water Release Ninjutsu
Konoha Hospital.
The cry of a newborn broke the long-standing light... darkness descended.
As night fell, the Medical Ninja who had been busy all night finally welcomed the birth of a newborn.
However, facing the birth of the newborn, the members of the Hyuga Main House did not show much joy on their faces.
Firstly, it was because another daughter had been born.
Secondly, because the Main House matriarch, Hyuga Hazuki's body had become even weaker; her lifespan was like a candle in the wind, and she might pass away at any moment.
Hiashi's expression was solemn, and his clenched fists proved his inner turmoil and his love and pity for his wife.
"Mama~."
Hinata stood by the bed, looking at her extremely weak mother.
Her once beautiful mother now had a pale face, looking sickly and frail. Hinata was deeply saddened.
She couldn't help but shed a few tears, thinking... how wonderful it would be if Naruto-kun were here.
Naruto-kun would comfort her, accompany her, and tell her not to be sad.
"..."
The maid accompanying Hinata also trembled slightly.
She hung her head, making her face unreadable.
Her constantly clenched fingers and the flushed skin on the backs of her hands and neck indicated that she was far from calm.
"Ugh~."
She bit her pearly teeth tightly, as if enduring something.
Then, she slowly backed out.
No one said anything about Hyuga Natsu's actions; in fact, they believed she was diligent and extremely loyal to the Main House.
It was only natural for her to be heartbroken upon seeing the matriarch in such a state.
However, no one knew the true reason why Hyuga Natsu had become this way.
Hyuga Natsu, having exited the Hospital room, gently closed the door.
Her trembling fingers could no longer hold steady.
Hot... scorching... her body felt like it was on fire.
All of this started from that time... when she went to Uzumaki Naruto's house.
After drinking the milk infused with Yin Release, she ingested an excessive amount of life force, and this was the result.
An indescribable heat emanated from her body.
This feeling was ten thousand times more unbearable than a fever.
It wasn't a problem that could be solved by just taking a cold shower.
These past few days, she had tried cold showers, even directly soaking in cold baths, but nothing could relieve that scorching heat.
The only way was to dissipate the heat from her body into the outside world. And to do that, she needed to use appropriate means.
Hand seals.
Only by forming hand seals and performing Water Release Ninjutsu, thereby expelling water and carrying away the heat, could she slightly alleviate the burning pain within her body.
In the Hospital corridor late at night, there was almost no one around.
Most of the Medical Ninja and nurses had gone off duty, and the daytime patients had all returned home, leaving only a few staff members.
This left the Hospital feeling empty, like a deep, giant ice cave.
White lights hung from the ceiling. Hyuga Natsulooked left and right, her lips slowly pressing together.
Finally, she quickly left, jogging all the way into a single-person restroom.
Just as the door clicked shut, Naruto's figure appeared from around the corridor corner.
He first glanced in the direction of the Hospitalroom.
The cries of a baby echoed from within.
This meant that Hanabi had been born.
Which was... Hinata's younger sister.
Soon, Naruto, with his hands in his pockets, walked past the Hospital room with a leisurely, almost delinquent stride.
The closed door prevented anyone from noticing Naruto's identity.
The Hyuga Clan members, caught between joy and sorrow, focused solely on Hyuga Hazuki and Hyuga Hanabi.
So, Naruto quickly turned the corner and finally... stopped in front of the single-person restroom that Hyuga Natsu had entered... "Ugh~."
Hyuga Natsu let out a low, mournful groan.
She sat on the toilet, feeling desolate about what she had endured, and even more sorrowful about what she was about to do.
Her trembling arms, raised and then lowered, proved the intense internal struggle she was undergoing.
Her mind remained clear from beginning to end... she was not distorted like Yūgao Uzuki.
This was naturally because the life force she ingested was relatively pure.
However, this purity was relative.
It did not affect her mind, but it did... impact her body.
Soon, her parched body sent out an urgent signal.
Hyuga Natsu finally steeled herself, extended her right arm, and immediately began to form hand seals.
The human body is mostly composed of water, so using Water Release Ninjutsu to expel water and thus carry away heat is both reasonable and scientific.
This was something that could be confirmed without using the Byakugan.
Initially, her hand seal speed was slow and a bit clumsy.
After all, the Hyuga Clan excels in Gentle Fist, focusing on Bloodline Limit taijutsu.
For a Hyuga to use Ninjutsu was simply a great disgrace, so Hyuga Natsu's pretty face couldn't help but flush red.
"Damn it... damn it..."
She thought of the culprit behind everything, Uzumaki Naruto.
A mixed expression of disgust, hatred, and disdain began to surface.
And as her hand seal speed grew faster and faster, she entered a state of flow.
Whoosh~!
First, a slightly weaker D-rank Water Release was performed.
"Urgh~."
Then, her hand seal speed was so fast that it blurred into silhouettes... Whoosh whoosh whoosh~!
"Urgh urgh urgh urgh urgh~~~!"
A suppressed, humiliated sound burst forth as Hyuga Natsu performed a C-rank Water Release Ninjutsu.
The water within her body was directly drawn out and expelled into the outside world.
The materialized Water Release Ninjutsu flushed the toilet, then swept across the floor, and finally shot onto the door of the single-person restroom.
Damn him, damn him...!
Hyuga Natsu's heart was filled with boundless hatred for Naruto.
Her gaze was fixed on the ceiling.
The white light of the restroom was bright and dazzling.
Tears of humiliation streamed down from her eyes.
As she felt the surging, intense emotions that erupted while releasing the Water Release Ninjutsu... Creak.
The restroom door suddenly opened.
Hyuga Natsu: "!!"
The maid, with an utterly astonished expression, maintained her Water Release stance, staring blankly at the blond-haired figure who had suddenly appeared at the doorway.
"What are you doing so late?"
Naruto looked at the pretty Hyuga maid secretly practicing Ninjutsu before him, the corners of his mouth curving into a smile.
This smile, in Hyuga Natsu's eyes, was like the smile of an abyssal demon.
It was so mocking, sinister, and carried a cruel malevolence.
"Ugh~~~!"
The immense emotions that followed, a wave of humiliation, instantly engulfed her.
The other party's demonic smile seemed to be saying.
Your secret is out, I've seen and known everything, you... can't escape anymore...
