Naruto: All I want to do after transforming into Akali is be happy!

Chapter 176 Leaving Hinata

Hiruko felt a blur before her eyes, and the things in front of her changed from Hinata to the sky.

A strong feeling of being lifted into the air filled his body, and only then did Hiruko realize that he had been grabbed and lifted up by that little girl with the white eyes.

She was a little girl who couldn't even reach his chest, yet she managed to grab him after he had undergone numerous enhancements. It was as if he had become the ordinary ninja who could only look up to geniuses and ninja clans again. All those years of reckless growth seemed like a dream, and the moment he was grabbed was the moment he woke up.

This fact instantly turned Beirut into a scorching red.

"Bastard, let me go!"

Hiruko struggled violently, his Susanoo arm striking Hinata forcefully.

At this moment, Hinata seemed to have activated a damage-immune super armor. When Hiruko's Susanoo arm struck her, it had no effect other than creating a golden ripple that helped Hinata accumulate Heroic Spirit points.

Apart from the Susanoo, which is made of energy and can still move with difficulty, Hiruko's main body is like a small insect frozen in amber, unable to move at all.

"Smash it!"

Her fierce shouts echoed through the room like a surround sound effect.

Following the feeling of being airborne, a violent feeling of falling follows.

Realizing he couldn't escape Hinata's clutches, Hiruko gritted his teeth in anger and, left with no other choice, activated his Steel Release technique, preparing to take the hit head-on.

Hiruko was quite confident in her Steel Release technique, as her steel-bound body was immune to the vast majority of physical damage.

At this moment, Hiruko was already reminiscing about the despair he felt when Hinata finished his combo and found that she couldn't hurt him at all, and the panic he felt when Hinata immediately counterattacked.

In his fantasy, Hiruko was grabbed by Hinata and slammed headfirst into the ground!

"Rumble, rumble—"

A violent cloud of dust instantly spread out. Beneath Beiliuhu's hard body, the desert seemed to have been struck by a meteorite, blasting open a huge crater and sending large amounts of yellow sand flying in all directions.

"Splash splash splash—"

The severely damaged Susanoo vanished as a patch of black light.

Hiruko was in the center of the pit, his entire upper body buried in the sand. The powerful impact had compacted the sand into rocks, and Hiruko's long legs trembled, emitting a metallic creaking sound as if they were about to break under the weight.

"So, did you manage to take him down?"

Kurenai asked Neji, who was standing nearby, with a nervous expression.

As someone who had received Akali's teachings, she knew that Hinata's breathtaking skills were not just pure physical damage, but also structural damage to the target as a whole.

Because the breathtaking technique involves imprisoning a person and then slamming them down, all the force and impact will be concentrated on the victim without reservation.

As the saying goes, steel is easily broken if it is too strong; the object of the breathtaking smashing technique is the state of being too strong.

Therefore, Kurenai Yuhi was quite confident in this move.

However, Kurenai's expectant question was met with Neji shaking his head: "No, that person's limbs and internal organs were impacted, but there was a force protecting his internal organs, otherwise they would have been even more injured... Wait, he recovered so quickly!"

Seeing the chakra flowing within Hiruko's body, Neji immediately warned, "Hinata, watch out!"

As Neji spoke, Hiruko slammed his hands on the ground, pulling himself out of the compacted sand.

The next second, Hiruko activated the Swift Release technique he had used before, and with incredible speed, he surrounded Hinata, relentlessly unleashing punches and kicks.

Hinata was forced to respond to Hiruko's fast and fluid attacks, and had to fight back with a slower pace.

Fortunately, with the Byakugan's insight and ability to counter Hiruko's attacks, Hinata was able to barely cope with Hiruko's high-speed attacks.

But immediately, Hiruko did something that neither Hinata nor Neji expected.

He formed hand seals, and chakra surged wildly into his white right eye.

"White Eye - Open!"

The familiar meridian pattern appeared around Hiruko's right eye!

"Byakugan!!?" Hinata and Neji were shocked.

To their utter surprise, Hiruko's right eye was actually a white eye!

With the Byakugan's ability to see directly into one's internal condition, coupled with the Mangekyou Sharingan's ability to see through and predict external movements, Hinata's actions and thoughts were as clear as if they were one-way transparent to Hiruko.

With every punch and palm strike, Hiruko was able to accurately hit Hinata in the direction where she was most uncomfortable and least able to exert force.

"Bang bang bang!"

After Hiruko activated his Byakugan, Hinata was hit several times in just a few exchanges, forcing her to stagger backward.

Hiruko then wanted to pursue them.

Hinata had no choice but to raise her right hand high and unleash her killing move ahead of time, slamming her soft, chakra-filled palm heavily onto the ground!

"Heavenly Thunder Strike!"

"boom--"

The explosive sonic energy forced Biluhu back.

Meanwhile, under the shock and interference of the Heavenly Thunder Strike, Bei Liu Hu was also put into a state of bone-crushing and tendon-breaking, making his bones weak and his legs limp, and making it difficult for him to move.

But Hiruko's limited mobility presents Hinata with a perfect opportunity!

Hinata reached out and pulled hard in the direction of Hiruko.

Even though Hinata's hand was still some distance from Hiruko, Hiruko and the air around him seemed to be wrapped in an invisible net, and Hinata forcefully pulled him in front of her.

At the same time, golden energy began to gather at a visible speed on Hinata's right fist, which was placed at her waist, and a powerful pressure comparable to a Tailed Beast Ball came from Hinata's fist.

It is foreseeable that once Hiruko really takes a powerful punch from Hinata, no matter how ambitious or crazy his ideas are, he will have to go back and recuperate for a few years before he can think about anything else.

Unfortunately, Hinata had just used the Strong Hand Skull Crack, and Hiruko was still trapped and unable to break free, so it seemed he was destined to take this punch.

But just as Hinata threw her fist...

"Oh!"

Suddenly, a sapling shot out from the ground and slammed into Hinata's fist like an uppercut.

Faced with the force coming from below, Hinata's fist rose uncontrollably upwards.

"boom……"

Golden energy tore through the atmosphere, swirling and whistling past above Hiruko's head. Hiruko's long white hair broke and scattered under the pull of the energy, and for a moment the white hair fragments looked like snowflakes falling.

No matter how badly Hiruko's hair was damaged, Hinata's decisive blow was indeed avoided by Hiruko!

"Wood Release?" Hinata looked at the sapling that had opened up her fist in disbelief.

Steel Release, Swift Release, Dark Release, Storm Release, Wood Release, Sharingan, Byakugan—besides Akali, this was the first time she had encountered an enemy with so many abilities!

"Oh no!" Hinata immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

Her complete combo of moves is very cool, but coolness comes at a price: a period of exhaustion.

This kind of fatigue can be relieved by biting on a small biscuit beforehand, but it cannot be eliminated instantly.

Jinfu's powerful skill set is too early for a girl who hasn't fully matured yet.

"Drip!" A glistening bead of sweat slid down Hinata's smooth cheek.

"Think quickly!" Hinata racked her brains, searching for a way out of the predicament.

After all, she had just so confidently told Neji not to run away, but after she went up and attacked without success, she immediately activated the stopwatch and entered the invincible state of invincibility. That was too embarrassing!

"You can't win, can you!" Hiruko grinned maliciously, watching Hinata's flustered expression.

"At your age, to be able to force me to activate Ancient Illusion, you must be a renowned genius in Konoha!"

Koji Gensei, Hiruko's left eye Mangekyou Sharingan, is also the ability of Fugaku Uchiha's left eye Mangekyou Sharingan. Its effect is to enable future vision for a period of time, allowing the user to predict or deduce the future.

As for his right eye? It was an ancestral Amaterasu, so Hiruko discarded it without a second thought, treating it as consumables.

"Unfortunately, I am no longer the mortal you geniuses could trample on at will!"

"Before my eyes, which can see through time, even genius can only be nourishment for me!"

Enjoying the confidence that power brings him, Bei Liuhu was overjoyed.

As he spoke, Hiruko suddenly threw a punch at the air in front of him!

next second.

"Bam—"

"Ugh!"

Suddenly appearing, Kurenai clutched her stomach and collapsed to her knees, foul-smelling acid gushing from her mouth under the heavy blows.

"How could this be..." Kurenai Yuhi couldn't understand how Hiruko's precise punch could intercept her with her Shadow Step speed.

Noticing Kurenai's surprise, Hiruko arrogantly raised her chin: "I told you, my eyes can see into the future!"

"Before my eyes, all your resistance and schemes are completely transparent to me!"

"Like this!" Hiruko suddenly kicked Kurenai Yuhi away.

Because of the misalignment of the attack, Kurenai's hand, reaching out to Hinata, could no longer reach its destination.

Then, Kurenai Yuhi returned to the shadowy trace she had just left behind, her out-of-control body rolling around on the sand, covered in fine yellow sand, looking utterly disheveled.

Clearly, Kurenai Yuhi intended to capture Hinata and return together, but due to Hiruko's inability to see the future, Kurenai's intentions were discovered, and she was kicked away.

Following Kurenai Yuhi, Neji also appeared behind Hiruko, and an illusory Bagua field enveloped the two of them.

"Got you!" Neji's sharp Byakugan flashed with a glint of light as he sensed Hiruko's correct position.

"Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"

The Bagua Sixty-Four Palms, which could be executed with eyes closed, were unleashed with fluidity like mercury flowing across the ground, and the dense palm winds blocked every inch of space for Bei Liu Hu to dodge.

However, as the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms technique progressed, something unexpected happened to Neji.

That is, every time he strikes, Hiruko can accurately dodge it by taking a small step back, a small step to the side, or twisting his body and bending over.

His control over distance was so precise that it was as if there was an invisible wall between him and Hiruko. Whenever his hand was about to cross the wall, the invisible hand would push Hiruko back a small step, and then move him back after Neji withdrew his hand.

In this way, no matter how smoothly or accurately Neji's Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms were executed, it would be useless against Hiruko.

After Neji unleashed a set of Bagua Sixty-Four Palms, he became increasingly anxious.

If Neji missed with his previous palm strikes, he would only have wasted chakra and stamina. But if he missed with all of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, he would lose the dignity of Gentle Fist!

"Sixty-two palms... sixty-three palms... sixty-four palms!" Neji continued to swing his palms.

Because Hiruko kept dodging his attacks, Neji, on the other hand, even made a desperate move to deliver the final three blows!

Even though Neji had already risked everything and pressed forward relentlessly, he still wanted to touch Hiruko once.

For Hiruko, who had unlocked his future vision, it was still all wood.

"I've already said it, all your efforts are in vain in the face of my eyes that can see into the future!"

"Oh!"

With a light step, Hiruko dodged Neji's desperate attack and grabbed Neji's unsuspecting side ribs, delivering a heavy punch!

"boom--"

Neji, who was powerless against Hiruko's fist imbued with Steel Release, had his ribs broken instantly and was sent flying heavily away!

"Neji-nii-san!" Hinata's eyes were filled with worry as she watched Neji fly away.

"Instead of worrying about the branch family, you should be focusing on yourself now, Hyuga's young lady!" Hiruko sneered.

"Do you regret not listening to the advice of that family to split up and retreat directly?"

"If you had chosen to retreat instead of fighting to the end and reuniting with Kakashi back then, you might still have had a chance to escape!"

"Of course, in the end they still can't escape my grasp!" Hiruko's words were pointed.

Hinata was very unhappy with that feeling of being determined to have her.

But soon, the clever Hinata realized that Hiruko was truly determined to have her!

Hinata silently adjusted her Byakugan's vision, and only then did she see that on the other side, in front of Kakashi and Might Guy, there was also a mysterious masked person wearing Akatsuki robes!

Clearly, this was Hiruko's backup plan!

It was because of the mysterious person's obstruction that Kakashi and the others were unable to come to their aid.

"Tsk! We've been completely outmaneuvered!"

Hinata felt powerless as the situation spiraled out of control.

But the feeling of powerlessness also brought her relief.

Because sometimes, acknowledging one's weakness does not mean being weak.

Only by acknowledging the gap can we grow better!

Therefore, Hinata is not planning to continue fighting Hiruko, as he is not an opponent she can handle at the moment.

“I remember Akali taught me like this…”

Hinata recalled her time with Akali: "You had to have a sobbing voice, tears in your eyes, slightly red eyes, clenched fists, and a hint of self-abandonment..."

"Then..." Hinata murmured, "I can't do anything..."

"so……"

"Wait a minute, what are you doing?"

Hiruko, who could see the future, exclaimed in surprise.

"Help me, Akali!"

The next second, a purple shield lit up on Hinata!

"Secret Mystery: Compassionate Salvation of Fallen Souls!"

"Leave Hinata!"

Like a gentle spring rain, the ninja scythe drifted silently toward Hiruko's neck!
