Taking stock of Konoha succubus: Hinata rolls her eyes in the anime!

A look at the top ten parallel universe Naruto anime! First up is the eye-rolling succubus Hinata!

“Brother~Please be strong!”

Hinata’s eyes were blurred and her face was flushed. She fought madly with eighteen people and was completely exposed in front of everyone in Konoha.

Everyone in Konoha was completely dumbfounded!

“What? The eldest princess of the Hyuga family is so hot?”

“So the white eyes are so tempting?”

“Shit! It seems like I exist in that parallel universe… Can I join too?” Jiraiya’s eyes flashed with a wolfish light, and he chuckled.

Then…

Hinata didn’t know what possessed her, and suddenly she let out a soft moan and rushed towards everyone!

“The slogan of our Hyuga family is naturally Hyuga!”

“Hinata what?” Jiraiya was knocked down, feeling the pressure and having difficulty breathing…

Hinata uttered:

“We’ll talk about it later.”

Taking stock of Konoha succubus: Hinata rolls her eyes in the anime!
Chapter 1 “What’s going on?”
The sky seemed suddenly enveloped by a thick, dark veil, as if by an invisible, giant hand. A moment before, the sky had been clear, the sun blazing brightly, almost blindingly bright. The villagers and ninjas of Konoha Village strolled leisurely through the streets, toiled on the training grounds, or busied themselves at their respective posts. And then, in a single instant, all the light was swallowed up. It wasn’t the gradual dimming of a solar eclipse, but a sudden, complete darkness, as if the entire world had been plunged into a bottomless inkwell.
Then, an indescribable sense of oppression descended from the sky. Hokage Rock, that massive stone carving symbolizing Konoha’s glory and will, now served as a backdrop for something sinister. An immense black screen, emitting a faint, eerie, and unsettling light, appeared without warning directly above the rock. It hovered silently, soundless, yet more powerful than any roaring beast. The light wasn’t illumination, but a cold, soul-sucking glow, a dark purple tinged with an ominous blood-red, shifting constantly and unsettling the very sight of it.
Almost instantly, the screen went black, and a strange, unstoppable force enveloped the entire Hidden Leaf Village, spreading even to the surrounding forests, rivers, and even the mission locations beyond. No matter where the ninjas were, no matter what they were doing—whether they were intently tracking the enemy, engaging in arduous weight training in the woods, or enjoying a moment of peace and comfort at home—this force, with an irresistible gesture, forcibly tore them from their original places.
Many ninjas didn’t even have time to react. Their vision flashed, and the surrounding scenery instantly distorted and blurred, then replaced by a chaotic chaos of colors. It felt like being thrown into a high-speed vortex, their internal organs dislocated and their sense of direction completely lost. Experienced jonin immediately tried to steady themselves, mobilizing chakra to resist, but found that their energy was like a drop in the ocean, completely ineffective against this strange teleportation force.
“What’s going on?” This is the first thought that flashes through the minds of most ninjas.
“Enemy attack?” This was the warning that followed.
The next moment, when they were able to calm down a little and see their surroundings clearly, they found themselves in a familiar yet unfamiliar place – the huge square below the Hokage Rock.
The square was packed with people, nearly every registered ninja in Konoha Village. From the experienced jonin to the seasoned chunin, to the still-young genin, even some recent graduates of the ninja academy who hadn’t even carried out a few missions, and even the retired elders who usually lived in seclusion, all were gathered here without exception.
There was an uproar in the crowd.
“Where is this place? I was just chasing a rebel ninja in the forest twenty miles away!” A burly Chunin with oil paint on his face shouted in shock, a bloody kunai still tightly grasped in his hand.
“I… I’m feeding my baby at home…” A young female ninja looked pale and subconsciously touched her empty arms, her eyes filled with anxiety and fear.
“Hokage Rock… How did we suddenly get here?” A young man wearing a forehead protector looked around, confusion written all over his face.
After a brief moment of bewilderment, they were overcome with even greater panic and unease. The ninja’s innate vigilance immediately made them realize the seriousness of the situation. This large-scale, indiscriminate, and irresistible forced teleportation was far beyond the scope of their ninjutsu.
“Everyone, calm down! Stay alert!” A resonant voice tried to suppress the commotion. It was Hatake Kakashi. He instinctively pressed his hand against his forehead protector. His obscured Sharingan seemed to heat up slightly, but he forced himself to remain calm. His sharp eyes scanned the surroundings, searching for his students.
“Damn it! What the hell is this thing!” Inuzuka Kiba’s voice echoed not far away. Beside him, Akamaru also sensed his master’s anxiety and whimpered uneasily. Kiba tried to rush forward, but found himself as if he had hit an invisible wall, unable to leave the square no matter what.
“It’s useless, Kiba.” Aburame Shino pushed his sunglasses, his voice as calm as ever, but if you listen carefully, you can detect a subtle solemnity. “I just tried, it seems that this place is shrouded by some powerful barrier.” His insects had already scattered silently just now, trying to find the weak point of the barrier, but the feedback information was “impenetrable”.
Some ninjas skilled in perception and barrier techniques also tried their hand. Some formed hand seals, trying to analyze the composition of this power; others closed their eyes and maximized their perception, hoping to find a flaw in this space. However, all their efforts were in vain, creating no ripples.
Anger and a feeling of powerlessness intertwined. Some hot-tempered ninjas could no longer restrain themselves and began to directly attack the huge black screen floating in the air.
“Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!” A member of the Uchiha Police Force suddenly unleashed a massive fireball, the blazing flames carrying a destructive aura rushing towards the screen. However, several meters from the screen, the fireball silently vanished, as if absorbed by an invisible sponge, leaving not even a trace of smoke.
“Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!”
“Lightning Release: Pseudo Darkness!”
Ninjutsu of various attributes exploded in front of the screen like brilliant fireworks, only to mysteriously vanish without causing any damage to the screen, not even the slightest vibration. The screen remained suspended there silently, emitting that unsettling, eerie light, as if mocking everyone’s presumption.
At the edge of the square, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, wore a grave expression. His aged face was covered in wrinkles, each one etched with worry. Beside him stood Konoha’s two advisors, Utane Koharu and Mitokado En. Their expressions were equally serious, their eyes filled with surprise and confusion.
“Huruzen, what is going on?” Utane Koharu’s voice was a little dry. She had lived to such an old age and experienced several ninja wars, but she had never seen such a strange and bizarre situation.
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head slowly, his deep gaze fixed on the black screen: “I don’t know. This kind of power… is unheard of. It forces all of us to gather here, but does not actively attack. Its purpose is currently unknown.” He tried to mobilize the chakra in his body and found that the chakra flow was relatively smooth, but when he tried to use space ninjutsu or large-scale perception ninjutsu to explore the boundaries of this area, he also felt a strong resistance, as if there was an invisible membrane that completely isolated this square from the outside world.

“Could it be a conspiracy from other ninja villages?” Mizuto Menyan asked in a deep voice, frowning.
“It doesn’t seem like it,” Sarutobi Hiruzen denied. “If it was an attack against Konoha, there should have been follow-up actions by now. Moreover, to be able to achieve this level of success, to silently teleport all the ninjas in the village and to set up such a powerful barrier, even the combined forces of the five major ninja villages would probably find it difficult to do so.” His tone was filled with a subtle hint of fatigue and deep worry. The unknown enemy was the most terrifying.
The commotion continued, but gradually, some began to abandon their futile attacks. They realized that individual resistance was powerless against such an unimaginable force. Despair spread through the crowd like a plague. Some young Genin, and even some less mentally stable Chunin, were already showing fear and trembling slightly.
At this moment, the huge, silent black screen, its smooth, mirror-like surface, suddenly began to ripple. Like ripples spreading from the surface of water when a stone is dropped, the ripples spread from the center of the screen outward, and the strange light flickered, becoming even more eerie.
Everyone’s attention was drawn to this sudden change. The bustling square fell eerily silent at that moment, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing and suppressed heartbeats. Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the screen, their hearts filled with foreboding. They knew that something shocking, perhaps even unbearable, was about to be revealed on this strange screen. The fear of the unknown, like a cold, venomous snake, coiled around everyone’s heart.
The atmosphere in the square was so heavy it felt like water could drip out. Though the ninjas had temporarily halted their pointless attacks, their inner panic and anxiety remained undiminished. As the ripples on the screen began to spread, everyone’s heart leaped into their throat. They discovered an even more despairing truth—not only could they not leave the square, enveloped by an invisible barrier, but even their most basic physiological reactions were restricted.
Some ninjas tried to close their eyes, to avoid the ominous screen, but were horrified to find that their eyelids felt like they were being pressed down by a thousand-pound rock. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t close them. Their eyeballs ached and dry, tears welled up uncontrollably, but they were forced to keep their eyes open, staring intently at the screen.
“I… I can’t close my eyes!” A young Genin cried out, his voice full of fear.
“Me too! Damn, what the hell is this thing!” Another ninja gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead. He was obviously struggling against some invisible force, but to no avail.
Some even tried to turn their heads, trying to avoid the screen. However, their necks felt as if held in a clamp, their muscles rigid and their bones creaking under the strain, yet they couldn’t move their gaze away from the screen even for a moment. No matter how they struggled, no matter how they twisted their bodies, their faces were always forced to face the huge black screen.
This feeling of powerlessness and compulsion is more chilling than any direct attack. They are like prisoners tied to a rack, staring helplessly at the impending unknown punishment, deprived of even the right to escape.
“Calm down! Everyone, don’t panic!” Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke again, trying to calm the restless crowd. He himself was subject to the same restrictions, but with a strong willpower, he forced himself to maintain a superficial composure. He knew that, as Hokage, he couldn’t panic during such a situation. His voice, amplified by his chakra, carried clearly throughout the square.
However, even with the Third Hokage’s soothing words, the instinctive fear was difficult to suppress. Some of the weaker ninja, especially the younger and less experienced Genin, began to let out terrified gasps and suppressed sobs. They had never encountered such a strange and powerful enemy. This feeling of being completely controlled and unable to resist filled them with an unprecedented despair.
Kakashi’s brow furrowed. He could feel his Sharingan spinning uncontrollably beneath his eyepatch. He tried to decipher the source of this compulsive gaze, but it was all in vain. Beside him, Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi also had grave expressions. Asuma’s cigarette had gone out at some point, while Kurenai subconsciously placed her hand on her stomach, her eyes filled with worry about the unknown.
At that moment, everyone in the square’s gaze was fixed on the black screen. In the center of the screen, the ripples that had been rippling like water suddenly accelerated, swirling, converging, and finally expanding violently in all directions, forming a massive vortex. At the center of the vortex, a brilliant light shone, but it wasn’t a warm white glow; it was a strange, heart-pounding deep purple.
The purple light flickered, then gradually condensed. A line of enormous text, also emitting an eerie purple light, began to emerge in the center of the screen, as if being slowly pulled from thin air.
The characters were clear, yet held an indescribable allure and strangeness. Each word seemed to hold a certain bewitching power, making it difficult to look away.
“flat”
When the first word appeared, everyone’s heart tightened and they held their breath.
“parallel”
The second word followed, and some of the quick-witted ninja began to speculate what it might be.
“Parallel World”
When the word “world” emerged, a low gasp echoed across the square. A parallel world? For most ninjas, the concept seemed too unfamiliar and distant, only occasionally mentioned in ancient scrolls or far-fetched legends.
“Charm of Parallel World”
The appearance of the word “Mei” made the hearts of the mature ninjas present, especially those experienced jonin and ANBU members, sink suddenly. They seemed to have a premonition of something, and their faces began to turn a little ugly.
Parallel World Succubus
When the word “demon” appeared, a sense of foreboding settled like a dark cloud over the hearts of all the adult ninja. The female jonin present, such as Kurenai Yuhi and Uzuki Yugao, were particularly struck by this, their brows furrowed in thought, their eyes revealing a mixture of wariness and disgust. They understood the meaning of “succubus” more deeply and directly than the male ninja.
“Parallel World Succubus Disk”
When the last character “盘” appeared, the square fell into an eerie silence.

Parallel World Succubus Inventory
These six huge characters emitting a strange purple light were deeply engraved on everyone’s retina and their hearts like a brand.
“Parallel… parallel world… succubus… inventory?” A young Chunin muttered to himself, his voice filled with disbelief and deep confusion.
After a brief silence, there was an even more intense commotion.
“Succubus? What is that?” Uzumaki Naruto shouted loudly, his blue eyes filled with confusion and a hint of inexplicable excitement. Obviously, he had no idea about the deep meaning of the word “succubus”, and perhaps he thought it was some powerful demon or monster.
“Shut up, Naruto!” Haruno Sakura whispered beside him, but her cheeks were also slightly red, and there was a hint of panic and embarrassment in her eyes. As a girl, she was much more sensitive to such words than Naruto.
Uchiha Sasuke still had a grim expression, but his brows furrowed slightly, and he was obviously displeased with this mysterious scene.
Nara Shikamaru sighed habitually and muttered softly: “What a troublesome thing… Parallel world? Succubus? What the hell is going on…” His brain started working at high speed, trying to analyze the possible meaning and purpose behind this, but there were too few clues and it all felt like a mess.
Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji stood together. Ino’s face showed a look of curiosity and a little uneasiness, while Choji was still regretting the potato chips he had not finished eating, and did not seem to care much about the words on the screen.
Neji Hyuga stood among the Hyuga clan. Though his Byakugan wasn’t activated, his gaze remained sharp. When he heard the word “succubus,” his brows furrowed slightly, a subtle sense of displeasure rising within him. The Hyuga clan prided themselves on their pride and purity, and such a term, with its overtly sinister overtones, instinctively repelled them.
The expressions of the adult ninja who truly understood the meaning of “succubus” were even more grim. They knew that “succubus” usually referred to a legendary being that relied on absorbing the essence of others, especially through seduction, to achieve its goals. This kind of being was often associated with negative terms such as depravity, desire, and temptation.
“Taking stock of… the succubi from the parallel world?” Kurenai whispered to herself, her tone full of vigilance and a hint of disgust. “What on earth are they trying to do?” She subconsciously glanced at Asuma Sarutobi beside her and found that his face was equally gloomy.
The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, looked even darker. He took a drag from his pipe, slowly exhaling the smoke. His expression was blurred by the haze. “Parallel world… succubus… inventory…” He repeated these words, his heart filled with doubt. This mysterious screen had gathered all the ninjas in the village, just to let them watch this… thing? What was its purpose? Was it some kind of test of the will of the Konoha ninja, or perhaps a spiritual attack?
The young Genin, on the other hand, were more bewildered and curious. Most of them only understood the word “succubus” literally or from vague legends, unable to truly grasp its deeper meaning and potential impact. They simply felt that it seemed to foreshadow something new and exciting to come, and some of the more courageous ones even felt a faint sense of anticipation.
Only a few sensitive or precocious boys and girls, such as Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino, vaguely felt that something was wrong, their cheeks felt slightly hot, and there was a bit of shyness and uneasiness in their eyes.
The purple text on the screen hovered silently, as if waiting for everyone to digest this sudden information. The atmosphere in the square grew even more eerie and oppressive because of these six words. Everyone was filled with questions and an unknown fear of what might happen next.
Just as everyone had different thoughts and the atmosphere in the square became particularly solemn and weird because of the six big words “Inventory of Succubi in Parallel Worlds”, the content on the screen changed again.
Beneath the line of title emitting an eerie purple light, a faint light flickered, and then, a line of slightly smaller, but still clear and eye-catching, golden font slowly emerged like flowing water.
This line of golden font is not long, just a few simple characters:
“NO.10”
“Um?”
“What’s this?”
“The number ten?”
Everyone was filled with confusion. What did this “No. 10” represent? Was it some kind of number? Or was this so-called “inventory” going to have ten targets? If it was a ranking, would ten be high or low? If it was a sequence, would there be nine, eight, seven… or even eleven, twelve?
For a time, all kinds of speculations emerged in people’s minds.
“Could it be that… there’s more than one person being counted?” Nara Shikamaru stroked his chin, a look of thought flashing in his eyes. “Number ten… does that mean there are at least ten people being counted?”
“Who cares about number ten and nine, let’s get started! I can’t wait to see what the so-called ‘succubus’ looks like!” Uzumaki Naruto still looked carefree and eager to create chaos. He was not impressed by the number, but was more concerned about what “powerful” guy would appear next.
“Naruto, keep your voice down!” Haruno Sakura tugged at his sleeve again, a hint of anger and shame on her face. She had always felt that this “succubus inventory” sounded unremarkable, and Naruto’s excited attitude made her feel a little embarrassed.
Uchiha Sasuke snorted coldly and remained silent, but his eyes were involuntarily drawn to the screen. He had no interest in the so-called “succubus,” but this situation, where he was forced to watch without any control, filled him with a surge of inexplicable anger. He wanted to know what the mastermind behind this was up to.
As everyone debated the meaning of “NO.10,” their minds abuzz with speculation, the light on the screen began to flicker again. This time, instead of just words appearing, like ink painting on rice paper, golden light rapidly spread, outlined, and condensed beneath “NO.10.”
The light grew brighter and brighter, gradually forming a clear outline. It was a name.
A name consisting of two Chinese characters.
When the first word slowly appeared, the atmosphere in the crowd in the square, especially in the Hyuga clan area, suddenly became tense. Because that word was very familiar to them.
“day”
As soon as these words appeared, Hinata Hiashi’s pupils suddenly contracted. He felt an extremely ominous premonition in his heart, like a cold venomous snake, instantly wrapping around his heart and making his breathing stagnate.
Three things to do when reading: read, collect, and reward!
Chapter 4 “No… No Way…” (Old Version)
Hyuga Neji, who was standing beside him, was also slightly startled by this word. He subconsciously looked towards his main family, towards his cousin who was always timid and hid behind the crowd.
Then, the second word emerged mercilessly –
“Towards”
“Hinata”!
These two words were like two thunders, exploding in the hearts of the Hyuga people!
“No…no way…” A member of the Hyuga branch family cried out in disbelief, his face full of disbelief.
“Could it be that… our Hyuga clan…”
The hearts of all the Hyuga people were in their throats. They stared at the screen intently, afraid to see the scene they least wanted to see.
However, the screen seemed intent on magnifying their fear to the extreme. After the word “Hinata,” the light continued to flow, condensing into a third word.
This word is very familiar to many people in Konoha Village. It represents a gentle, kind, but somewhat timid girl.
“Chi”
The moment the word “雏” appeared, the square fell into a dead silence.
Everyone’s breathing seemed to stop at this moment.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Uzumaki Naruto was grinning, expecting some earth-shattering spectacle, but when he saw the word “Hina”, his smile froze. He seemed to have thought of something, and a trace of confusion and bewilderment flashed in his blue eyes.
Inuzuka Kiba and Aburame Shino’s expressions instantly turned serious. As members of Team 8, they were very familiar with the owner of this name.
Xihihong’s heart suddenly tightened, and she subconsciously took a small step forward, her eyes full of shock and disbelief.
Hinata Hiashi’s face turned ashen when he saw the word “Hina.” He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, but he felt no pain. A huge sense of humiliation and anger brewed in his chest like a volcano.
The last and most fatal word, the fourth, fell heavily like the hammer of final judgment.
“field”
“Hyuga Hinata”!
These four large golden characters appeared clearly on the huge black screen, like the most vicious curse, hitting the hearts of every Konoha ninja!
The deathly silence in the square lasted for less than two seconds.
Then, like boiling water, a roar broke out that was much louder and more turbulent than any before!
“What?! Hyuga Hinata?!”
“Am I seeing things right? Is it the eldest daughter of the Hyuga family?”
“You must be joking! How could she be… that… succubus?”
“This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
Exclamations, questions, and screams of disbelief came one after another, converging into a chaotic wave of sound that almost overturned the entire square.
At this moment, everyone’s gaze, whether filled with shock, suspicion, curiosity, pity, or gloating, was like a searchlight, all cast on the petite figure in the crowd who was originally inconspicuous but now became the focus of the whole audience.
Hinata Hyuga, she is standing with her teammates Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino and her instructor Yuhi Kurenai.
When the word “Hinata” appeared on the screen, she felt a little uneasy.
When the word “Hina” appeared, her body began to tremble slightly, and an ominous premonition made it almost impossible for her to breathe.
And when the word “田” finally fell, revealing her full name in front of everyone, Hinata felt her eyes go dark and her mind went blank.
The entire world seemed to recede from her at that moment. She could no longer hear the clamor around her, nor could she sense the worried gazes of her companions. All that remained in her vision were those four glaring golden characters: “Hyuga Hinata.”
Each stroke was like a sharp knife, cutting into her heart.
“No…no…” She muttered subconsciously, her voice so weak that it was almost inaudible.
“Hinata!” Kurenai Yuhi was the first to react. She immediately stretched out her hand to support her staggering disciple.
Inuzuka Kiba also widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief: “Hey, hey, hey! You must be mistaken! How could it be Hinata!” Akamaru also barked twice in response, as if expressing the same dissatisfaction and doubt.
Aburame Shino pushed his sunglasses, his eyes flickering behind the lenses. He didn’t say anything, but his tense body also showed his inner unrest.
However, no matter how much they disbelieved or questioned, the four golden names on the screen – “Hyuga Hinata” – were still shining there, emitting a cold and cruel light, as if declaring to everyone an indisputable fact.
At this moment, this name was like a loud slap in the face for Hinata Hyuga herself, the entire Hyuga clan, and even the entire Konoha Village, slapping everyone hard in the face.
The impact has just begun.
When the four golden characters “Hyuga Hinata” were deeply engraved on the black screen like a branding iron, the dazzling light not only stung Hyuga Hinata’s own eyes, but was like invisible sharp needles, piercing deep into the nerves of every Hyuga member present.
The Hyuga clan leader, Hyuga Hiashi, had a face that couldn’t be described as livid; it was a sullen hue mingled with extreme anger, horror, and deep humiliation. His body trembled slightly as he forcibly suppressed the rage that threatened to burst forth. His hands, hidden within his wide sleeves, were already clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the excessive force, and even making a crackling sound. Hard nails dug deep into his palms, piercing the skin, and crimson blood oozed slowly along the lines of his palms. However, he felt no pain, or perhaps the overwhelming rage and humiliation within him had completely drowned out the slightest pain.
He stared intently at his daughter’s name on the screen, his pure Byakugan eyes now bloodshot, filled with disbelief and a fury of betrayal and defilement. The Hyuga clan, renowned in the ninja world for their bloodline limit, the Byakugan, prided themselves in Konoha on their ancient heritage and strict family rules. How could they have ever endured such public humiliation? To associate his daughter, Hyuga Hiashi, one of the future heirs of the Hyuga main clan, with such a vile term as “succubus,” and to publicly expose her, was not only an insult to Hinata personally, but a violation of the dignity of the entire Hyuga clan!
“This…this is absolutely impossible!” Hinata Hiashi squeezed out a few words, his voice low and hoarse, filled with suppressed anger. He could barely control the chakra in his body, wanting to rush forward and smash that damn screen to pieces. But his remaining rationality told him that doing so was pointless and would only further embarrass the Hyuga clan.
Chapter 5: Succubus!! (Old Version)
Standing not far from Hyuga Hiashi, Hyuga Neji’s expression was even more striking. He froze in place, as if struck by lightning. His eyes, always aloof and cold, were now wide open, his pupils constricted in shock. His mouth parted, as if to speak, but his throat seemed blocked, and no word came out.
“Hina… Miss Hinata…?” Neji’s mind was in a tizzy. In his mind, Hinata Hyuga, though weak and cowardly, didn’t meet the criteria for a main family heir, was still the pure and innocent eldest daughter of the Hyuga family. And “succubus,” a word brimming with the sense of evil and allure, was the polar opposite of his image of Hinata; there was no way they could possibly intersect!
“How could it be… How could it be her?” A wave of shock washed over Neji’s heart. His long-held belief in “fate” seemed to be challenged like never before. Could it be that Miss Hinata’s fate was so… so awful? It filled him with a sense of absurdity and profound confusion. His pride, his faith, were violently challenged at this moment. He even subconsciously activated his Byakugan, trying to see if the words on the screen were some kind of illusion, but all he saw was the crystal-clear, unmistakable four characters.
Hinata Hanabi, the youngest daughter of Hinata Hiashi, was still young and couldn’t fully grasp the deeper meaning of the word “succubus.” But she could clearly sense the strange shift in the atmosphere around her, see her father’s terrifying expression, hear the suppressed exclamations and angry growls of her clan members. Her face was filled with confusion and a hint of unease. She subconsciously clutched the sleeve of a nearby branch family elder, timidly looking from the screen to her father and sister. She didn’t understand why her sister’s name was there, or why everyone reacted this way, but a sense of foreboding gnawed at her like a gnat.
The elders of the Hyuga clan were so angry that they were shaking all over and their faces turned the color of liver.
“How outrageous! How outrageous!” A white-bearded elder slammed his cane against the ground, making a dull thud. His voice trembled with anger. “This is slander! This is the most vicious attack and humiliation against our Hyuga clan!”
“Who is it? Who is behind this?!” another elder roared, veins bulging on his forehead. “I will tear him into pieces!”
“The reputation of the Hyuga family… the reputation of the Hyuga family!” Some elders even beat their chests and stamped their feet, looking heartbroken.
In their view, regardless of the truth of this so-called “parallel world succubus inventory,” the very inclusion of Hinata Hyuga’s name alongside “succubus” is a massive blow to the Hyuga clan’s reputation. The Hyuga clan values respect and rules above all else. Now that the eldest daughter of the main family has been given such a shameful title, how can they survive in Konoha? How can they navigate the ninja world? This is worse than simply killing them!
Just as the Hyuga clan was caught in a vortex of chaos and anger, and the entire square was in an uproar because of this sudden “disclosure”, how did Hyuga Hinata, who was the absolute core of the incident, feel?
When the four golden characters “Hyuga Hinata” burned into her retina like a red-hot iron, Hinata felt as if the whole world was spinning and collapsing before her eyes.
An indescribable burning sensation rushed from the soles of her feet to the top of her head like magma.
Her cheeks became hot at a speed visible to the naked eye.
From the initial slight blush, to the delicate pink, to the deep red of a ripe apple, and finally, the red was so rich that it was almost dripping with blood.
She could even clearly feel the skin on her cheeks rapidly heating up, so hot that it made her feel dizzy.
With a thud, she felt as if all the blood in her body had rushed to her head, turning her brain into a mess. Her temples were throbbing, and there was a constant buzzing sound in her ears, like countless bees circling.
Because all the blood had been concentrated in her head, her limbs had become cold and limp, and she had lost all her strength. Her legs gave way, and she could barely stand. If Yuhi Kurenai hadn’t quickly caught her, she would have collapsed to the ground.
“Hinata! How are you?” Kurenai’s anxious voice sounded in her ears, but at this moment Hinata seemed to be listening to the outside sounds through a thick layer of glass, which was vague and unreal.
Her breathing became rapid and difficult, her chest heaving violently, and every breath she took was like inhaling a ball of fire, burning her throat and lungs. She gasped for air, but still felt that the oxygen was so thin that she was about to suffocate.
Her heart was beating wildly in her chest, making a loud “boom, boom, boom” sound. The sound was so intense and so clear that she even suspected that people around her could hear her uncontrolled heartbeat. She felt as if her heart was about to break free from the restraints of her ribs and jump out of her throat.
shame!
The incomparable sense of shame completely submerged her like a surging tide!
She wanted to scream, to vent her inner fear and panic with all her strength.
She wanted to escape, to disappear immediately from this place where she felt ashamed, to a place where no one knew her.
She even wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into and never come out to see anyone again.
However, her body felt as if bound tightly by invisible ropes, or nailed to the spot by nails, too heavy to move at all. Her throat also felt as if something was strangling her, and she could not make any sound except for rapid gasps.
She could feel countless gazes, like materialized arrows, converge on her from all directions. Those gazes held surprise, astonishment, curiosity, inquiry, pity, and perhaps even… contempt and ridicule.
These gazes made her feel as if she had been stripped naked and exposed to the public, with all her unbearableness and embarrassment exposed.
“No…it’s not me…that’s not me…” She screamed silently in her heart, tears sliding uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes and dripping down her hot cheeks.
She almost fainted.
The whole world was spinning, bizarre scenes swaying before her eyes, and the noise in her ears became more and more distant and blurred.
Chapter 6 She doesn’t understand, why her? (Old version)
She felt dizzy, her body swayed, and her consciousness began to become hazy.
“Parallel world…Succubus…” These two words, like the most vicious curse, kept echoing in her mind.
She didn’t understand why it was her?
She was just an ordinary, even somewhat cowardly, girl from the Hyuga family. She just wanted to work hard silently, chasing that distant figure. She never imagined that her name would appear in front of everyone in such a… such an unbearable way.
A torrent of shame roared and surged in her heart, almost completely breaking her fragile nerves.
Every inch of skin in the body was trembling because of this extreme shame.
She bit her lower lip tightly, trying to use the pain to keep herself awake, but the chill and despair that surged from the bottom of her heart made her feel like she was falling into an icy cave.
When the four golden characters “Hyuga Hinata” fell on the black screen like a hammer of judgment, focusing everyone’s attention on the petite figure, Hyuga Hinata’s entire world seemed to be completely overturned by this sudden impact.
An indescribable burning sensation, like a lit fuse, shot up from the soles of her feet along her spine, instantly sweeping through her entire body. This current of heat finally converged at her head, causing her cheeks to become scorching hot at an alarming rate.
At first, it was just a faint blush, like peach blossoms quietly blooming on branches in early spring, with a hint of girlish shyness. But as the surrounding gazes gathered and the chatter grew, the pink quickly deepened, turning into a delicate, sensual crimson, as if pinched hard, so red it almost bled. Finally, the crimson became as intense as the fiery clouds in the evening sky, staining her entire face a brilliant crimson, even her small ears and slender neck, all tinged with an abnormal blush.
She could clearly feel the skin on her cheeks burning, the burning sensation making her want to find a piece of ice to apply to her face. She even felt that if someone cracked an egg on her face, it would probably fry immediately.
Blood rushed to her head like an uncontrolled torrent. Her temples throbbed like two small drums, making her dizzy. Her mind went blank, unable to think. Only those four glaring names flashed and swirled before her eyes, lingering like a nightmare.
Because so much blood had been concentrated in her head, her limbs had become incredibly cold, as if they’d been soaked in ice water. Her fingertips were numb, numb, and her legs felt limp, powerless, as if they no longer belonged to her. She could feel her body trembling uncontrollably, the fear and shame that emanated from deep within her making every cell in her body tremble.
“Huff…Huff…Huff…” Her breathing became rapid and erratic, her chest heaving violently, like a stranded fish desperately trying to draw in air, but never getting enough. Every inhale was accompanied by a burning pain in her throat, and every exhale took away the little strength she had left in her body. She felt as if her lungs were being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, almost suffocating her.
Her heart pounded frantically in her chest, making a resounding “boom, boom, boom!” The sound was so loud and intense, it seemed to break free from her ribs and burst out of her throat. She could even feel her entire body vibrating to the rhythm of her heartbeat. Each heartbeat was like a sledgehammer, hammering down on her nerves and intensifying her panic and helplessness.
She wanted to scream, to use all her strength to vent the pent-up emotions in her chest. She wanted to tell everyone loudly that it wasn’t her, it definitely wasn’t her! She wanted to question this damn screen, why was it humiliating her in this way?
She wanted to run away, to flee immediately from this place where she felt so ashamed and wished she’d vanish. She even imagined herself desperately rushing out of the crowd, out of this square, fleeing to the ends of the earth. She wanted to find a place where no one knew her, hide there, and never come out again.
She even thought that if there was a crack in the ground, she would crawl into it without hesitation, bury herself deeply, and never face these gazes that made her feel ashamed and angry again.
However, her body seemed to be under a spell, nailed to the spot, unable to move an inch. Her feet felt as heavy as lead. No matter how she screamed in her heart to escape, her body refused to obey her. Even lifting a finger seemed extremely difficult. Her throat seemed to be tightly strangled, and she could not make any other sound except for the heavy, strangled gasps.
She could clearly feel the gazes around her, originally focused on her, becoming even more intense and penetrating. They came from her companions, her tribesmen, the elders and younger generations in the village, and everyone she had ever admired or feared.
Some of these gazes were filled with shock and disbelief, as if to say, “How could it be her?”
Some of them looked at her with a hint of inquiry and curiosity, as if they wanted to see some clues from her face.
Some were mixed with pity and sympathy, making her feel like a sad joke.
She could even keenly sense that in certain corners, there were some eyes that were gloating and filled with malicious speculation. Those eyes were like poisonous needles, piercing her body and making her feel cold all over.
Under these gazes, she felt as if she had been stripped naked and exposed in broad daylight, with all her embarrassment, shame, awkwardness and unbearableness exposed. She felt like a criminal being publicly executed, bearing the judgment of the whole world.
“No… no…” She bit her lower lip tightly, trying to use the pain to free herself from this near-collapse. Her teeth sank deeply into the soft flesh of her lips, oozing a trace of blood. A rusty, sweet taste filled her mouth, but this little pain was insignificant compared to the immense humiliation she endured.
Tears, no longer able to be held back, rolled down the edges of her beautiful eyes like pearls from a broken string. Hot tears streaked across her equally hot cheeks, leaving wet trails that dripped onto her clothes, creating a small dark stain.
Chapter 7 “Hinata! What’s wrong with you?!” (Old version)
She felt as if the entire world was spinning before her eyes, a dizzying, bizarre spectacle. Those once clear figures and scenes began to blur and distort. The sounds that reached her ears—the exclamations, the chatter, the anxious calls of her teacher and classmates—became increasingly distant and ethereal, as if coming from another world.
Her consciousness began to fade, and her body swayed uncontrollably. If Xi Rihong hadn’t been holding her tightly, she would have collapsed to the ground. She felt so tired, so cold, and so helpless.
“Parallel world…Succubus…Hyuga Hinata…” These words, like sharp carving knives, repeatedly cut in her confused mind, leaving bloody scars.
Why? Why her?
What did she do wrong?
She was just an ordinary, even somewhat cowardly, girl from the Hyuga family. Her greatest wish was to become stronger, to gain her father’s approval, to… to be closer to that dazzling figure.
She had never imagined that her name would appear in front of everyone in such a way… such a way that made her lose face and feel ashamed, and be associated with a word like “succubus” that she dared not even think of.
The torrent of shame raged in her heart like a flood that broke through a dam, impacting every fragile nerve of hers and almost swallowing her whole.
Her body, from the inside out, was trembling violently with extreme embarrassment and fear. It was a chill that penetrated deep into her bones, making her feel as if she were in a world of ice and snow even in the midsummer square.
She closed her eyes tightly, even though she knew it was useless, she could still “see” that damn screen, and still “see” her glaring name. But she still closed her eyes, as if this could isolate herself from this cruel world.
However, in the darkness, those mocking, pitying, and curious gazes became clearer and more piercing.
Despair, like a bottomless abyss, quietly opened its huge mouth under her feet.
The overwhelming sense of shame was like an invisible hammer, hammering down on Hinata Hyuga’s already fragile nerves, one blow after another. The sudden and immense impact made her feel as if her soul had been ripped from her body, leaving only an empty, uncontrollable shell.
Her body began to sway uncontrollably. It was a slight tremor at first, but soon the swaying intensified, like a helpless blade of grass in a violent storm, threatened to be uprooted at any moment. She struggled to stand firm, to control her failing body, but her limbs felt like they were filled with mercury, heavy and weak, completely unresponsive.
Her vision began to blur. The vast black screen before her, and the four names gleaming in gold, like death warrants, began to distort and warp, transforming into a flurry of light and shadow. The figures around her, once distinct, were now hazy, as if separated by a thick layer of frosted glass. She couldn’t even distinguish who was who, only to feel the countless blurry gazes piercing her like needles.
I could hear the anxious and worried cries of my companions.
“Hinata! What’s wrong with you?!” Inuzuka Kiba’s slightly rough voice was now filled with anxiety. He seemed to want to rush over, but some invisible force held him back. Akamaru also made an uneasy “whine” sound at his feet.
“Hinata, hold on! Don’t be affected!” Aburame Shino’s voice remained characteristically calm, but if you listened closely, you could detect a subtle hint of tension and concern. His insects were probably also restless, trying to convey some information to him, but at this moment, it was useless.
Kurenai Yuhi, their guiding jonin, was also distraught. Standing not far from Hinata, she could clearly see her student’s pale face and shaky body. Her brows furrowed, her eyes filled with worry and a hint of helplessness. She wanted to rush forward and support Hinata, to use her own strength to protect this introverted and kind student. However, the strange force that forced everyone to stare at the screen also restrained her, preventing her from moving closer. She could only watch helplessly as Hinata struggled in agony. She bit her lower lip, her heart filled with anger at this unknown force and worry for her student.
“Kurena…Kurena teacher…” Hinata silently called out in her heart. She wanted to respond to her friends’ concern, to tell them she was fine, and not to worry. But she found she didn’t even have the strength to open her mouth. Her throat felt like it was blocked, dry and tight, and she couldn’t make any sound. Her tongue was also stiff and unresponsive.
The scene before her began to twist and distort more violently. All sorts of bizarre colors intertwined and swirled before her eyes, forming a huge vortex that seemed to suck her in. She felt dizzy, her stomach churning, and a feeling of nausea rising in her throat.
She knew that she could no longer hold on.
Her consciousness, like the remaining oil in a lamp, was being consumed bit by bit. Darkness surged in from all sides like a tide, trying to swallow up her last bit of clarity.
She felt like she might lose consciousness at any moment and sink to the depths.
Perhaps, it would be better to faint, at least I wouldn’t have to face this suffocating humiliation, and I wouldn’t have to endure these gazes that were like cutting knives.
But deep down, a faint voice told her not to fall, absolutely not now. Falling would mean complete surrender, and she would be nailed to this pillar of shame in an even more unbearable state.
Hinata’s face couldn’t be described as pale anymore; it was a nearly transparent, bloodless paleness, like fine rice paper, so fragile it seemed to break at the slightest touch. Her lips trembled slightly, losing their former rosy color and becoming dry and chapped. There were even tiny bloody marks on them from her own bite.
A fine layer of cold sweat oozed from her forehead. Beads of sweat slid down her smooth forehead, soaking the hair at her temples. The sweat stuck to her skin, making her feel cold. It felt as if the blood in her body had frozen, and her hands and feet were icy cold without a trace of warmth.
She continued to bite her lower lip tightly. The already numb pain was the only way she could stimulate herself and keep a last bit of clarity. She tried to concentrate, trying to drive away those chaotic thoughts and despairing images from her mind, but with little success.
Chapter 8 “Eh?!!” (Old Version)
“A list of succubi from parallel worlds… No. 10 Hyuga Hinata…”
These words, like a vicious curse, kept echoing and circling in her mind. Each word was like a red-hot iron rod, branding it deeply into her soul, constantly attacking her already fragile nerves.
She had never imagined that one day she would become the focus of attention of the entire Konoha Village, perhaps even beyond. She had always been accustomed to hiding in the corners of the crowd, accustomed to silently watching others shine, accustomed to being inconspicuous. This sudden, forced feeling of being thrust into the spotlight left her feeling disoriented and filled with a deep-seated fear.
This was not a glorious spotlight at all, but a public and cruel “execution”!
She felt like a prisoner tied to the execution ground, forced to accept scrutiny and judgment from all sides. And that huge black screen was the billboard that pronounced her guilt.
The feeling of being humiliated in public and deprived of all dignity and privacy made her feel endless despair.
Fear, like a cold, poisonous snake, tightly coiled around her heart, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. She was afraid of what would appear on the screen next, afraid that the so-called “inventory” would reveal something she didn’t even know, or in other words, the secrets deep in her heart that she didn’t want anyone to see.
If…if those contents were really related to “succubus”, then how could she…how could she face people in the future? The Hyuga family…father…Ningji brother…Hanabi…and…Naruto-kun…
Hinata’s heart felt like it was being yanked hard at the thought of Naruto, and she almost curled up in pain. She didn’t want Naruto to see her in this state of utter shame and disgrace. She had always tried hard to show her best side in front of him, hoping to gain his approval and encouragement even for the slightest improvement. But now…
A strong feeling of powerlessness swept over her body.
She weakly stretched out her right hand, her fingers curled up, as if trying to grasp at a life-saving straw. Perhaps she wanted to grasp Hong’s hand, or perhaps she wanted to grasp Kiba or Shino, or perhaps she just wanted to grasp a glimmer of hope to prevent herself from sinking completely.
However, she waved her hands in vain a few times in the air, and finally, having lost all her strength, they fell down limply and rested limply at her side.
At that moment, she felt that all her persistence and hard work were like a kite with a broken string, which could never be found again.
The darkness before my eyes grew thicker and deeper.
Consciousness is like a candle in the wind, shaky and may go out at any time.
At first, Uzumaki Naruto felt very curious and dissatisfied about this sudden change and the situation of being forced to gather in the square.
The novelty was that he had never seen such a huge screen, nor had he ever experienced such a situation where everyone was inexplicably teleported. He even wondered if this was some new ninjutsu, or a trick created by some powerful person. He felt a little excited, thinking that something “big” might happen.
He was disgruntled. Just moments earlier, he’d been enjoying his favorite tonkotsu ramen at Ichiraku, only to be halfway through when an irresistible force dragged him here. Even more infuriating, he hadn’t even paid for his bowl of ramen yet! If Iruka-sensei found out, he’d definitely be scolding him. Furthermore, he found himself unable to leave the square or even close his eyes, which made him feel incredibly frustrated, as if his freedom was being restricted.
“What’s going on!” He shouted several times at the sky and the big screen, but there was no response.
When the words “Parallel World Succubus Inventory” appeared on the screen, Naruto scratched his head, bewildered. “Succubus? Inventory? What does that mean?” He turned to ask Sakura and Sasuke, but Sakura just blushed and glared at him, telling him to keep his voice down, while Sasuke, as cold as ever, ignored him completely.
He had no idea what the word “succubus” meant, and probably thought it was some new kind of monster or a powerful enemy. He was even a little excited, wanting to see just how powerful this so-called “succubus” was and whether she could give him a good fight.
However, when the four golden characters “Hyuga Hinata” slowly appeared on the screen after “NO.10”, Uzumaki Naruto’s expression, which originally contained a bit of carefree and curiousness, froze instantly.
He was stunned at first, and his blue eyes, which always sparkled with vitality, shrank imperceptibly when he saw the word “Hinata”.
“Hina…Tada?” He pronounced the name subconsciously, with a hint of uncertainty in his voice.
Then, his blue eyes suddenly widened, nearly popping out of their sockets, his face filled with disbelief and extreme astonishment.
“Eh?!!” He let out a short and loud cry.
He quickly turned his head, his eyes searching the chaotic crowd. Soon, he found that familiar figure not far away in Class 8—the girl who always kept her head down, spoke softly, and blushed like a boiled shrimp when she saw him.
At this moment, the Hinata he saw was frighteningly pale, her body swaying as if she would fall down at any moment. Her instructor, Kurenai Yuhi, was looking at her anxiously, as if she wanted to help her, but was restrained by something.
Naruto suddenly turned his head again and looked at the huge black screen. The four big words “Hyuga Hinata” on the screen were still shining with golden light, extremely dazzling.
He rubbed his eyes hard, as if he thought he was seeing things or was hallucinating.
“Impossible…Impossible, I say…” He muttered to himself, his face full of confusion and shock.
The next second, he couldn’t hold it in any longer. He suddenly raised his head and shouted at the huge screen with all his strength: “Hinata?! W-What is this?! Who is playing such a stupid prank? I say–!!!”
His voice, like thunderclaps from a clear sky, was filled with the unique clarity and penetrating power of a young man, instantly shattering the momentary silence and suppressed discussion in the square caused by the mention of “Hyuga Hinata”. The resounding voice echoed across the empty square, clearly reaching everyone’s ears, and everyone’s attention was involuntarily focused once again on the source of the voice – Uzumaki Naruto, and the center of the incident he was referring to – Hyuga Hinata.
Chapter 9 “Oh my god… why is it Hinata?” (Old version)
Naruto’s shout, with his characteristic bluntness and bewilderment, echoed endlessly across the silent square, like a boulder dropped into a tranquil lake, stirring up ripples. Every word was crystal clear to the ears of every ninja present, including Hinata Hyuga, who was now on the verge of collapse.
For Hinata, Naruto’s shout was undoubtedly adding insult to injury. It was like an invisible hammer, hitting her already overwhelmed heart hard.
If being stared at by the whole village made her feel ashamed and desperate before, then being noticed in this way by Uzumaki Naruto – the boy she had always secretly loved and tried hard to catch up with – made her feel even more ashamed and she wished she could disappear from this world immediately.
The last thing she wanted was for Naruto-kun to see her in such a miserable, weak and helpless state.
She didn’t want him to see any so-called “succubus inventory” related to herself that might appear on that damn screen next.
That would be even more painful for her than killing her!
When Naruto’s familiar voice, tinged with confusion and anxiety, reached her ears clearly, Hinata’s body trembled violently, and her already shaky body trembled even more violently. Her teeth chattered uncontrollably, making a slight “cluck” sound.
She could feel Naruto’s gaze, like everyone else’s, being cast upon her. Perhaps there was no malice in that gaze, only pure surprise and confusion, but it was precisely this innocence that made her even more helpless and ashamed.
She was afraid of what Naruto-kun would think of her.
Would he believe what was on the screen? Would he think she was really…really that kind of…unbearable existence?
When Hinata thought of these possibilities, her heart felt like it was being pierced repeatedly by countless fine needles, and the pain was so severe that she almost curled up.
“Naruto-kun…” She moaned silently in her heart, her voice broken and desperate.
The tears she had been holding back finally burst forth at this moment, unable to be contained any longer, gushing out like a flood. Large, scalding tears slid down the edges of her beautiful eyes, trailing clear lines down her pale, burning cheeks, before finally dripping onto her collar, quickly spreading a small, dark, wet stain.
She squeezed her eyes shut tightly, her long, thick eyelashes weaving together from the tears, trembling slightly. She didn’t want to cry, especially not in front of Naruto-kun, but at this moment, she couldn’t control herself. The feelings of grievance, shame, fear, and despair washed over her like a surging tide, leaving her unable to react except to tears.
Although Naruto’s shout was filled with confusion and doubts about the prank, it did break the momentary silence in the square and let the suppressed discussions sound again.
Some young ninjas who were about the same age as Naruto, or had simpler personalities, also showed expressions of agreement when they heard Naruto’s words.
“Yeah! This must be some bastard’s prank!”
“That’s right! How could someone as gentle as Hinata be… some kind of succubus?”
“That’s outrageous! How can you even make such a joke?”
Most of them did not understand the deeper meaning of “succubus”. They simply felt that it was too much to associate a girl who was usually quiet and introverted with such a bad-sounding word.
However, the more experienced jonin and chuunin, as well as those family leaders who had experienced many ups and downs, still had extremely solemn expressions. They were not as naive as the young people. They knew that the existence of someone who could quietly and forcibly gather all the ninjas in the village here and set up such a powerful barrier could not be just a silly “prank”.
There must be some unpredictable, perhaps even extremely dangerous, purpose hidden behind this. Whatever appeared on the screen, no matter how absurd, was likely not groundless. Their gazes towards Hinata, besides surprise, were filled with inquiry and solemnity.
Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino, female ninjas of the same generation as Hinata, were also looking at the shaky figure in the crowd in surprise.
“Oh my god… why is it Hinata?” Ino covered her mouth and lowered her voice, but the shock in her tone was obvious. She secretly glanced at Sasuke beside her and found that Sasuke still had that cold expression, as if he didn’t care much about all this, which made her feel a little lost.
Sakura’s brows furrowed tightly as she watched Hinata, who looked on the verge of tears, and she felt a pang of pity. While she and Hinata weren’t particularly close, they were from the same village after all. She whispered to Ino, “What the hell is going on? That screen… feels so weird.” She subconsciously glanced at Naruto and saw him looking anxiously in Hinata’s direction. His worried expression brought a wave of mixed emotions to her.
Although Uzumaki Naruto was carefree and a bit rough around the edges, he was not without perception. He saw Hinata’s body tremble even more violently after hearing his shout, and she even… cried?
When he saw Hinata’s tearful look, as if she was about to collapse completely in the next second, he suddenly felt an inexplicable anxiety and anger in his heart.
Although he didn’t fully understand what a “succubus” was, nor did he know why Hinata’s name appeared on that “inventory”, he could clearly feel that Hinata was very sad and very scared at the moment.
For Naruto, the situation was simple: Hinata was his companion, and although she was quiet and timid, she was a good person! Now, someone was bullying her with that inexplicable screen and name, making her so sad that she cried! This was something he absolutely could not tolerate!
A simple and direct desire to protect suddenly rose in his heart.
He didn’t care who was behind the screen, or whether it was a prank or not. He only knew that he couldn’t let Hinata be sad like this anymore!
Then, he raised his head again, his blue eyes burning with anger. He puffed out his cheeks and, using all his strength, roared even louder at the huge black screen:
“Hey! Did you hear me? Get Hinata’s name off of it!”
“You are not allowed to bully her——!!!”
His voice was filled with unquestionable determination and protection, like the roar of a wild animal protecting its cubs. That pure, unadulterated protection caused some of the ninjas who were originally whispering to involuntarily quiet down, staring in surprise at this troublesome, lagging behind boy.
Chapter 10 “What the hell is going on?” (Old version)
They didn’t expect that Uzumaki Naruto, who usually looked silly, would stand up so clearly at this time to defend a companion who he was not particularly close to.
Naruto himself, however, paid no attention to the gazes of those around him. He simply stared intently at the screen, then glanced anxiously in Hinata’s direction. His fists were clenched tightly in anger, as if he was going to smash the screen to pieces if it disobeyed him.
Although he knew that he might not be able to defeat this mysterious existence that could bring everyone here, he couldn’t do nothing!
Uzumaki Naruto’s protective roar stirred a considerable commotion in the square. Many young ninjas, swayed by his sentiment, turned their attention to the eerie black screen. However, for Hyuga Hiashi, the Hyuga clan’s leader, Naruto’s actions, far from bringing any comfort, only added fuel to the already raging rage.
Hyuga Hiashi, the current patriarch of the ancient and noble Hyuga clan, stood at the forefront of the Hyuga contingent. His upright figure was stiffened by the intense rage he suppressed. He wore traditional Japanese samurai attire, its wide sleeves rustling in the wind, revealing the rage surging within its owner, threatening to burst forth.
He stared intently at the massive black screen hovering above the Hokage Rock. His gaze was like two poisonous blades, wishing he could shred the screen and the four blindingly bright golden characters on it—”Hyuga Hinata”—into smithereens. The words “Succubus Inventory,” emitting an eerie purple glow, were like the most vicious curse, magnifying in his eyes and burning away his sanity.
He could clearly feel that the various gazes coming from all directions were like countless fine poisonous needles, piercing his heart and his proud self-esteem.
Among those looks, there was sympathy from the patriarchs of other families – that kind of condescending sympathy, with a hint of relief that they themselves had not encountered such a thing, made him feel more humiliated than direct ridicule.
There was gloating from some civilian ninjas or ninjas from small families – the kind of eyes that usually showed awe to the Hyuga clan, but now secretly rejoiced at seeing the arrogant Hyuga clan making a fool of themselves, made him feel extremely angry.
There was curiosity and confusion from the younger generation of ninjas – that kind of innocent, inquiring gaze seemed to remind him again and again that his daughter, one of the heirs of the Hyuga family, was now the focus of the entire village in an extremely unbearable way.
He even keenly caught some eyes hidden deep in the crowd, which were filled with obvious ridicule and contempt. Those eyes conveyed the meaning of “the Hyuga family is no better than this” and “a famous family can also have such a scandal.”
Every look was like a loud slap in the face, hitting him hard and causing a burning pain.
He, Hyuga Hiashi, has been in charge of the Hyuga clan for many years, and has never suffered such a great humiliation!
The Hyuga Clan, renowned in the ninja world for their bloodline limit, the Byakugan, prides itself on strict family rules and noble bloodlines. They are one of the oldest and most powerful families in Konoha Village. The dignity of the main family is more important to them than their own lives.
However, at this moment, in full view of everyone, the dignity of the Hyuga clan and the face of Hyuga Hiashi were ruthlessly trampled underfoot by this strange screen of unknown origin in the most direct, brutal and unbearable way, and were trampled to pieces!
A bone-chilling murderous aura emanated uncontrollably from him. It was so intense, so substantial, that the air around him seemed to drop in temperature by a fraction of a degree. Some of the branch family members standing behind him even trembled slightly, unable to withstand the sudden pressure, their faces filled with awe and fear.
His hands were already clenched into fists within his wide sleeves, his nails digging deep into his palms, blood dripping through his fingers, yet he was oblivious. He only felt an uncontrollable rage raging wildly in his chest, threatening to incinerate his entire internal organs.
He wanted to rush up to the platform immediately and smash that damn screen to pieces!
He wished he could immediately find out the mastermind behind all this, tear him into pieces, and grind his bones to dust!
But, he can’t.
As the head of the Hyuga clan, he had to maintain his composure and rationality. He knew that in this situation, any extreme action would only embarrass the Hyuga clan and make them a bigger laughing stock.
Behind Hyuga Hiashi, the core members of the Hyuga clan also had different expressions and complicated looks at this moment.
They were the backbone of the Hyuga clan, the defenders of the main family’s authority. Normally, they were immensely proud to be members of the Hyuga clan. Yet, at that moment, the glaring names on the screen made their faces burn, as if they had been publicly humiliated.
“What…what’s going on?” A young member of the main family, Hinata’s cousin, couldn’t help but lower his voice and whisper to his companions. His face was full of confusion and a hint of barely perceptible panic. “Hinata…how could she be associated with that kind of…that kind of vocabulary?”
“Shut up!” An older member of the clan beside him whispered to him, but his pure white eyes were also filled with uncertainty and deep worry. He glanced at the sullen face of the clan leader, Hinata Hiashi, and then at the glaring name on the screen, and a sense of foreboding filled his heart.
Some of the more fiery-tempered members of the clan glared intently at the black screen, their eyes filled with anger and hostility. Their chakra began to fluctuate uncontrollably due to their emotional excitement, as if it could explode at any moment.
And those Hyuga elders who were usually highly respected and paid the most attention to the family’s reputation and rules were now so angry that they were puffing their beards and glaring, their faces as red as pig livers.
One of the elders, who was white-haired and usually stern and the most stern, could no longer suppress his anger. He slammed his cane on the ground with a dull thud, and then, with a voice that was filled with suppressed anger and shame, he whispered, “What are you doing?”
“How shameful! How shameful!” His voice trembled slightly with excitement, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. “This, this is simply… simply a great disgrace! The greatest disgrace our Hyuga clan has ever experienced!”
Chapter 11: Be quiet!! (Old version)
He turned his head abruptly, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the petite figure in the crowd who was staggering. His tone was filled with disbelief and deep disappointment: “That Hinata girl… how could she… how could she do such a… such a disgrace to our family!”
Obviously, in his opinion, regardless of whether this “Succubus Inventory” was true or false, as long as Hinata’s name appeared on it, it was a huge stain on the reputation of the Hyuga clan. He even began to suspect that Hinata had done something indecent in private, which was why this mysterious screen caught her.
“How dare such a monster slander my Hyuga clan!” Another elder was trembling with anger. He pointed at the screen and growled hoarsely, “Clan leader! We can’t just sit back and watch! We must find a way to destroy this thing! Otherwise, the Hyuga clan will lose all its dignity!”
Although these elders deliberately lowered their voices, in the relative silence of the square where everyone was forced to focus on the same thing, their whispered scolding and discussions were still clearly heard by many people around them.
This undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, making the already awkward situation of the Hyuga clan even worse.
The other clans, upon hearing the words of the Hyuga elders, looked at the Hyuga clan with even more profound eyes. They seemed to be watching a spectacle, to see how this usually high-ranking and prestigious family would handle this sudden family scandal.
Naturally, Hyuga Hiashi could also hear the elders’ scolding and the clan members’ whispers behind him. These voices were like red-hot iron needles, piercing his heart fiercely.
He took a deep breath, and the cold air inhaled into his lungs calmed his heart, which was about to explode with anger.
He knew that at this moment, he absolutely could not lose his composure.
The angrier and more out of control he gets, the more he will serve the will of the mastermind behind the scenes, and the more he will make a fool of himself in the Hyuga family.
He slowly closed his eyes, then suddenly opened them. When he opened them again, those pure white eyes, although still bloodshot from anger and humiliation, had a heart-pounding coldness and determination in their depths.
He forced himself to suppress the rage that was about to burst out in his heart, and buried all his emotions deep in his heart.
His face had regained its former coldness and majesty, but the tightly pursed corners of his mouth and the slightly twitching cheek muscles still spoke of his extreme inner restlessness.
“Be quiet!” Hinata Hiashi didn’t turn around, but just spit out a few words coldly in a low and majestic voice.
His voice was not loud, but the powerful aura and unquestionable majesty contained in it made the tribesmen behind him who were still making a commotion and talking, suddenly quiet down.
The elders also stopped scolding for a while, but continued to stare at the screen with angry and humiliated eyes.
Hinata Hiashi’s gaze, like two icy rays of light, once again cast upon the vast black screen. He knew that attacking the screen now would be futile. This mysterious screen, and the one manipulating it, possessed a power they could neither comprehend nor contend with.
However, this does not mean that he will give up.
In his pure white eyes, besides the bloodshot, there was also an undisguised, ice-cold murderous intent flashing.
In his heart, he swore in the name of all the ancestors of the Hyuga clan:
No matter who is behind this screen!
Whatever the purpose!
How dare you humiliate Hyuga Hiashi’s daughter like this, how dare you trample on the dignity and honor of his Hyuga clan!
He, Hyuga Hiashi, and the entire Hyuga clan will never give up!
When the matter is over, he will use all the strength of the Hyuga clan to find out the mastermind behind this and make him pay a thousand times the price!
He must uphold the honor of the Hyuga clan, even if… it costs anything!
Just as Hyuga Hiashi was forcibly suppressing his anger, but his heart was surging with murderous intent, Hyuga Neji, who was standing in the Hyuga clan team, also had a turbulent heart at this moment, full of confusion, anger and a hint of… unprecedented confusion.
His brows were knitted together, forming a deep “chuan” (Chuan) shape that could almost pinch a fly to death. His eyes, which always carried a hint of aloofness and arrogance, now widened slightly in extreme shock and confusion, a complex light flickering deep in his pupils.
He couldn’t comprehend what was happening on the screen before him.
Each of these words was like a heavy hammer, hitting his cognition hard, making him feel absurd and incredible.
Hyuga Hinata, his cousin, the girl who was cowardly, unmotivated, and a betrayer of the main family’s bloodline in his eyes, how could she be associated with a word like “succubus” that is full of evil and temptation?
This is even more outrageous than asking him to believe that the sun will rise from the west tomorrow!
In his impression, Hinata, though weak, introverted, and even a bit timid, was essentially a kind and pure girl. Her Byakugan, while failing to demonstrate the strength expected of a main family, certainly didn’t conjure up anything like the word “temptation.”
The Hyuga clan’s Byakugan are all-seeing eyes, a symbol of noble bloodline, and their proud bloodline limit! How could… How could they possibly be connected to such a filthy being as a “succubus”?
He subconsciously activated his Byakugan, veins bulging at the corners of his eyes, his pure white pupils gleaming with brilliance. He tried to use the insight of his Byakugan to see through the structure of the black screen, trying to find out if there was some kind of illusion or other trick hidden behind it.
However, what shocked and made him feel powerless was that his proud white eyes were actually… useless when facing this strange black screen!
The screen was still the same screen, the writing on it still crystal clear, emitting an unsettling glow. He couldn’t see through the screen’s material, nor could he sense any chakra flow, let alone find any flaws.
It felt like his most powerful weapon had suddenly lost all its power and turned into a pile of scrap metal.
An unprecedented feeling of powerlessness surged into his heart like a cold tide, making him feel inexplicably irritated and depressed.
He had always believed that the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan was unique and powerful. But now, the existence of this screen seemed to be mercilessly mocking his belief.
Chapter 12 He doesn’t understand, why is it Hinata? (Old version)
He felt that the bloodline limit that the Hyuga clan was proud of, and the family reputation that they had guarded for generations, were, at this moment, ruthlessly desecrated by this screen of unknown origin in an extremely brutal and unbearable manner!
This made him feel a deep-seated anger and shame.
This sense of shame was not only because Hinata was his cousin, but also because he was the genius of the Hyuga clan, the one who shouldered the family’s glory and future hopes. If the family was disgraced, he would also be disgraced.
Hyuga Neji, who has always believed that “a person’s fate is determined from the moment he is born and cannot be changed”, at this moment, when faced with this absurd and bizarre scene, his deeply rooted “theory of fate” could not help but be slightly shaken.
He had always believed that Hinata’s cowardice was her fate, the main family’s strength was its destiny, and the branch family’s obedience and protection of the main family was also its fate. He himself, because of his status as a branch family and that damned “caged bird” curse, was filled with resentment towards the main family and his fate.
But now…
If such a ridiculous thing as Hinata Hyuga being listed as a “succubus from a parallel world” can happen, then what are the ideas that he has always upheld and believed in?
Could it be that fate could really be so… unreasonable, so… absurd and ridiculous?
In his mind, he could not help but recall the scene during the Chunin Exam when the blond boy yelled at him: “I don’t believe in fate! If you say this is fate, then I will completely break it for you to see!”
At that time, he scoffed at those words, thinking that they were the unwillingness and incompetence roar of the weak.
But now, after witnessing this scene that was beyond his comprehension, the boy’s words continued to echo in his ears like a spell.
A trace of doubt, like a tiny vine, began to quietly spread on his solid wall of belief.
Just as he was feeling agitated and confused about the so-called “fate”, he caught a glimpse of a new light flowing under the name “Hyuga Hinata” on the screen, as if foreshadowing… there would be subsequent content to come.
His heart sank suddenly.
He suddenly had an extremely ominous premonition.
If the name “Hyuga Hinata” and the title “Succubus Inventory” have already brought shame to the Hyuga clan, then what even more disgusting thing will this damn screen reveal next?
He tried hard to concentrate, staring at the area at the bottom of the screen that was beginning to glow.
His byakugan was still open. Although he couldn’t see through the screen, he still hoped to capture any possible information as soon as possible.
Then, a line of even more dazzling pink characters with a certain enchanting and charming color slowly emerged below the name “Hyuga Hinata” like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.
That line of words, like a poisoned dagger, pierced into Hyuga Neji’s heart and the eyes of all the Hyuga clan members.
That was a subtitle – “The ultimate temptation of rolling eyes”!
“Wh…what?!”
When he saw the line of small pink words clearly, Hyuga Neji felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, making the blood in his body almost freeze!
“The ultimate temptation with those white eyes?!”
Each of these words was like a heavy hammer, hitting his nerves hard, making him feel chills and physical discomfort.
White eyes! The bloodline limit that the Hyuga clan is so proud of!
Temptation?! This word is full of negative and erotic connotations!
To link these two words together so blatantly and to describe them as “extreme”!
This is simply the most vicious insult and blasphemy against the Hyuga clan!
Neji felt a strong wave of nausea wash over him.
He couldn’t imagine what kind of images would appear on this damn screen next, or what kind of words would be spoken to interpret this so-called “ultimate temptation of rolling eyes.”
He didn’t even dare to think about it!
He began to worry, and an unprecedented, heartfelt fear began to spread in his heart.
He was worried that this screen would reveal some so-called “secrets” that he could never imagine, about Hinata, about the Byakugan, and perhaps even about the entire Hyuga clan.
Once those secrets are made public, they will bring a devastating blow to the Hyuga clan.
His breathing became a little rapid, and a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
For the first time, he felt a sense of…disgust and fear towards his proud eye roll.
If the Byakugan really can bring the so-called “ultimate temptation”, then it is better not to have such a bloodline limit!
The atmosphere in the square became weird again because of the appearance of this pink subtitle.
Those ninjas who originally thought it was a bit strange that the Hyuga family had a “succubus” began to look a little…subtle after seeing the words “the ultimate temptation of the Byakugan”.
Some people with bad intentions have even begun to show obscene and expectant expressions.
The members of the Hyuga clan all looked ashen, trembling with anger, but they could do nothing.
The shame is escalating step by step.
As the subtitle, emitting an eerie pink glow—”The Ultimate Temptation of the White Eyes”—writhed across the screen like a venomous snake, Hyuga Neji felt an indescribable chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, causing every hair on his body to stand on end. He subconsciously clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, trying to use the pain to dispel the creeping fear and nausea in his heart.
His gaze uncontrollably turned to the petite figure standing precariously not far away – Hinata Hyuga.
Hinata’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper, her body trembling violently with extreme shame and fear, tears streaming from her tightly closed eyes like pearls from a broken string. Her expression, on the verge of tears, as if she were about to collapse completely at any moment, sent a wave of extremely complex emotions welling up in Neji’s heart.
There is anger.
He was furious at this damn screen, which had used such filthy words to describe the Hyuga clan’s white eyes, humiliating his cousin and trampling on their family’s dignity. This anger was directed at the perpetrator, pure and direct.
I have some questions.
He didn’t understand why Hinata? Why was it this cousin, whom he had always considered cowardly and incompetent, who was caught up in such a bizarre incident? Could it be that beneath her timid exterior, she truly was hiding some unknown… secret? The thought filled him with a shudder.
Chapter 13: Family Shame… (Old Version)
There was also a hint of… barely perceptible worry that he himself was unwilling to admit.
Yes, worry.
Although he has always held a grudge against the main family and also harbored resentment towards Hinata, the nominal heir of the main family, even for a long time in the past, he regarded Hinata as one of the symbols of his tragic fate, and was full of dissatisfaction and contempt for her.
However, no matter how resentful or dissatisfied he was, one fact could not be changed – they had the same blood and were all members of the Hyuga clan.
Blood is thicker than water, and this connection rooted deep in the blood cannot be easily severed.
At this moment, when he saw Hinata’s helpless and desperate look, when he saw that the entire Hyuga clan suffered great humiliation because of this incident, an indescribable complex emotion mixed with shame, anger and a hint of sympathy quietly grew in his heart.
He felt a shared family shame.
Yes, family shame.
No matter how much he was dissatisfied with the main family and how much he despised Hinata, when the external forces humiliated the Hyuga clan in such an unbearable way, the pride and sense of belonging of the Hyuga clan deep in his heart was still touched.
He found that he couldn’t be indifferent to Hinata’s situation as he would to an insignificant stranger.
He even couldn’t help but think, if… if the name that appeared on the screen at this moment was not Hinata Hyuga, but his Neji Hyuga, how would he respond?
Can he suppress his inner anger and murderous intent and remain calm on the surface like his father did?
Can he withstand the mixed emotions of the gazes from the entire village?
Can he face those obscene words and the even more shameful images that may appear?
This thought flashed through Neji’s mind, but even he felt a little surprised.
When did he actually have this… this idea of “empathizing” with Hinata Hyuga?
This seems to be incompatible with the “theory of destiny” he has always believed in and his heart that has become cold and hard because of being a “bird in a cage”.
He shook his head subconsciously, trying to drive this strange emotion out of his mind. He told himself that it was only because the family’s honor had been trampled upon, and he was only protecting the dignity of the Hyuga clan, not worrying about that cowardly cousin.
However, his pair of pure white eyes still looked uncontrollably at the petite figure swaying in the wind, as if it would go out at any moment, with a hint of complex and inexplicable emotions.
At this moment, the invisible, ice-like barrier between the main family and the branch family seemed to have a barely perceptible crack due to this common, sudden humiliation.
Just as Hyuga Neji was struggling with his conscience and Hyuga Hiashi was suppressing his anger, Inuzuka Kiba, who was in the same Team 8 as Hyuga Hinata, had the most direct and exaggerated reaction at this moment.
When the four characters “Hyuga Hinata” and the subtitle “The Ultimate Temptation of the White Eyes” appeared clearly on the screen, Inuzuka Kiba’s mouth instantly opened wide, almost enough to fit a whole egg in. His eyes were as wide as a pair of copper bells, and his eyeballs were almost bulging out of their sockets in extreme shock.
“Huh?!!” He let out an incomprehensible cry filled with disbelief, his voice a little sharp and distorted due to excessive shock.
He shook his head vigorously, and his messy brown hair swung along, as if he wanted to confirm whether he was dazzled or still in some absurd dream.
His loyal companion beside him, the ninja dog Akamaru, also felt his master’s extreme anxiety and confusion. It raised its head and looked at the screen blankly with its wet black eyes, then looked at its master and made a few low “woops” in its throat with confusion and anxiety.
Ya suddenly extended his finger, first pointing at the huge black screen, then at the pale, shaky Hinata not far away, his entire speech becoming somewhat incoherent. He turned his head, with an expression as if he had seen a ghost, and stammered to the relatively calm Aburame Shino beside him:
“Hey… Hey! Shino! You… You need to pinch me! Am I dreaming?! That… that… is really Hinata’s name?! And that… that… what… Succubus?! The white eyes… the ultimate temptation?! What the hell is this international joke–!!!”
His voice broke a little with excitement, and every word was filled with strong doubts and completely unacceptable emotions.
In Inuzuka Kiba’s understanding, Hinata Hyuga is that shy, introverted girl who speaks not much louder than a mosquito’s hum, who pokes others with her fingers when she is nervous, and who blushes like a boiled crab when she sees Naruto.
Although he sometimes felt that Hinata’s character was too weak and not like a ninja, and even felt a little impatient at times, he never doubted Hinata’s character.
She is kind, pure and hardworking. Although her talent may not be top-notch, she has been silently persevering in her own way.
And those words on the screen – “succubus”, “ultimate temptation” – these words are full of evil, depravity, and even have obvious erotic connotations. They are completely different from his impression of Hyuga Hinata. They are two completely unrelated existences!
He simply couldn’t connect the two!
This was even more absurd and unbelievable to him than believing that Akamaru would speak human language tomorrow!
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!” Ya shook his head vigorously, his tone firm, “This must be some bastard’s mistake! Or he’s deliberately making fun of us! Hinata…how could she be that kind of…that kind of thing!”
He was so anxious that he scratched his head and face, wanting to rush over and tear down the nonsense screen immediately. But the invisible force still bound him, making him unable to move.
He could only watch Hinata struggling in pain, watching those vicious words flash on the screen, his heart filled with anger and powerlessness.
Unlike Inuzuka Kiana’s furious, shouting reaction, fellow Team 8 member Aburame Shino remained relatively calm. Of course, this calmness was only superficial.
When Hinata’s name and that unsettling subtitle appeared on the screen, Shino habitually pushed up his round sunglasses. The glare from the lenses obscured most of his gaze, making it difficult to discern his true emotions. But if one looked closely, one could still glimpse the turmoil within him from the slightly pursed lips and the subtle flicker of surprise behind his glasses.
Chapter 14 “Damn it! Get out of the way! Let me pass!” (Old version)
Unlike Kiba, he didn’t let all his emotions outwardly. As a member of the Aburame clan, he had been taught since childhood to always remain calm and analyze problems rationally rather than being swayed by emotions.
He did not question loudly or roar angrily, but quickly turned his eyes away from the screen and calmly observed the reactions of the people around him – the suppressed anger of the Hyuga clan leader, the different expressions of other clan members, and the discussions and commotion of ordinary ninjas in the square.
At the same time, he was secretly driving the parasitic worms within his body, attempting to sense the source and nature of this mysterious power, as well as the strength of the barrier surrounding this space. However, the worms’ feedback was still “unable to detect” and “unable to break through.” This only deepened the heaviness in his heart.
Hearing Inuzuka Kiba’s roar that was about to blow the roof off, Shino turned his head slightly and whispered to Kiba in his usual calm tone:
“Ya, calm down. Now’s not the time to be yelling.”
His voice was not loud, but it carried a strange calming power, which calmed the originally irritable Inuzuka Kiba a little.
“The appearance of this screen is very strange, and we are currently unable to resist its power. Instead of being angry here in vain, it is better to observe the situation carefully and collect more information.” Shino continued, his tone sounding like he was analyzing a complex tactic rather than facing a crisis that might affect his companions’ reputation.
Although he tried hard to remain absolutely calm and rational, Aburame Shino was also deeply shocked and puzzled that Hinata Hyuga’s name appeared in this so-called “succubus inventory”.
In his impression, Hinata, though introverted and taciturn, possessed extraordinary persistence and resilience in certain areas. She was constantly striving to change herself, to become stronger. How could such a girl be connected to such an evil being as a “succubus”?
He began to silently analyze the possible reasons and purposes behind this.
Was it some kind of conspiracy against Konoha? To undermine its morale by humiliating members of a prominent family?
Or is this just a malicious game played by some powerful being?
Or… in a parallel world, does there really exist a “Hyuga Hinata” who is completely different from the Hinata they know?
This thought stirred his heart. The concept of a parallel world was too vague, but it was not completely impossible.
Regardless of the reason, Shino was clearly aware that this incident was undoubtedly a huge disaster for Hinata Hyuga herself.
He began to think, if something extremely unfavorable to Hinata really appeared on the screen next, how should they, as teammates, respond? How could they protect her to the greatest extent possible and reduce the damage she suffered within their capabilities?
This is not only out of friendship, but also out of a ninja’s instinctive sense of responsibility when facing an unknown crisis.
Aburame Shino’s calmness is not indifference, but he is preparing for the possible storm in his own way.
Inuzuka Kiba’s irritability and Aburame Shino’s calm analysis, these two completely different reactions both stem from their deep concern for their companion Hyuga Hinata.
They were members of Team 8, teammates who had spent countless hours together. For a long time, they had carried out missions together, trained together, and endured life-and-death trials together. They understood Hinata Hyuga’s character and personality better than anyone else in the square.
They knew exactly how shy Hinata was, how introverted she was, how…not good at handling the spotlight, especially in such a negative, humiliating way.
At this moment, they looked at Hinata’s pale face, trembling body, tears streaming down her face, and shaky appearance, their hearts filled with anxiety and worry. They could clearly feel the helplessness and despair through the crowd.
Inuzuka Kiba was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He wanted to rush over several times, to pull Hinata out of the suffocating gaze, to use his body to block her and shield her from the malicious speculations and humiliation.
“Damn it! Get out of the way! Let me pass!” He roared at the invisible wall of air before him, even attempting to break through it with brute force, but the powerful restraining force rendered all his efforts in vain. He could only watch Hinata endure it all alone, his heart filled with anger and powerlessness. Akamaru also circled anxiously at his feet, occasionally emitting a low growl.
Although Aburame Shino didn’t show as much emotion as Kiba, his eyes behind the glasses never left Hinata’s figure. He could see Hinata’s clenched fists, her shoulders twitching slightly as she tried to suppress the pain, and the tears that kept falling from the corners of her eyes.
He was silently thinking about countermeasures in his mind.
If there is something disgusting or seriously damaging to Hinata’s reputation that appears on the screen, what should they do as teammates?
Directly rebutting? I’m afraid it would only be seen as biased and might even lead to greater criticism.
Remain silent? How can we be worthy of the friendship among our companions?
Perhaps, what they can do is to comfort her and help her as much as possible after it is over, and let her know that she is not fighting alone.
The atmosphere in Class 8 became extremely solemn and depressing at this moment.
As their guiding jonin, Kurenai Yuhi was also extremely anxious at the moment, but she was powerless. She could only look at her three students from afar with a worried yet encouraging look, hoping that they could survive this sudden test.
Just as everyone in the square was having different thoughts, some angry, some worried, some curious, and some gloating, the huge black screen changed again.
The golden characters that were originally shining on the screen – “NO.10 Hyuga Hinata”, and the subtitle emitting a strange pink light – “The Ultimate Temptation of the White Eyes”, began to become blurred as if being smudged by ink, then slowly disappeared, and finally dissipated in the dark background.
Instead, there was a bottomless darkness.
The entire screen turned into a pure black curtain, without any light or text, like the brief and depressing calm before the storm.
The noise in the square also strangely weakened a lot at this moment.
Everyone’s eyes were subconsciously drawn to the deep darkness.
Chapter 15 The screen suddenly lights up!! (Old version)
Their breathing also involuntarily slowed down and became lighter, for fear of missing any changes that might happen next.
Everyone’s heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, pulled up to their throat.
They knew that the textual preview was over.
Next, the real “inventory” content will probably be presented to them in the form of images.
The brief darkness seemed to last as long as a century.
Just when people’s patience was about to be exhausted, and their anxiety and anticipation reached a peak—
The screen suddenly lights up!
It is not a dazzling light, but a soft yet extremely clear light.
Just like the screen of a movie theater being lit up, clear, moving images began to play smoothly on the huge black screen.
At that moment, the entire square seemed to be plunged into absolute silence.
Everyone held their breath.
Their eyes were fixed on the screen without blinking.
They knew that the most critical moment had finally arrived.
The first person to be counted in this so-called “Parallel World Succubus Inventory” is Hinata Hyuga, and her image will soon be presented to everyone.
What will the first picture look like?
Could it be the shy and introverted Hyuga Hinata that they are familiar with?
Or will it be another “Hyuga Hinata” who is completely unfamiliar to them, someone who may even shock and terrify them?
Nobody knows.
But everyone had a premonition that what happened next would bring them an unprecedented shock.
And for Hinata Hyuga herself, this is undoubtedly the beginning of the final judgment.
As the deep darkness slowly peeled away as if by an invisible hand, the screen suddenly lit up, and clear moving images began to unfold under everyone’s gaze. The entire square fell into a near-frozen silence. Everyone subconsciously slowed their breathing, fearing to disturb the impending unknown.
On the screen, light and shadow flowed, and a figure gradually became clearer from blurry, and slowly walked out from the depths of the picture.
The first thing that caught my eye was a pair of slender, white bare feet, stepping on a dark, soft, luxurious-looking carpet. The ankles were round and small, the toes were as shimmering as jade, and as they moved with their steps, there was an indescribable rhythm.
The camera slowly moves up.
That was indeed Hyuga Hinata’s face.
Her facial features were almost identical to those of the girl in the square who was trembling with shame and fear. That soft, short dark blue hair, that small nose, those slightly round cheeks, and that pair of iconic, pure, white eyes.
However, despite being the same face, the “Hyuga Hinata” on screen gave people a completely different feeling from the shy, introverted, and even somewhat timid eldest daughter of the main family that they knew on a daily basis! It was like two completely different people!
The biggest difference comes from her clothes and the completely opposite temperament she exudes.
What she wore was not the usual conservative and loose ninja attire, nor was it the traditional plain kimono of the Hyuga family. Instead, it was… a dark purple kimono that had been boldly modified.
The color of the kimono is a rich, indissoluble deep purple, with a mysterious and noble aura, but in the treatment of certain details, it is full of hints that make one’s heart beat faster.
The collar of the shirt was boldly pulled down, very, very low.
It was so low that one could almost see the alluring white skin of her chest, and the delicate, graceful clavicles that rose and fell slightly with her breathing. In the dim light, the delicate skin shone like ivory, forming a sharp contrast with the deep purple fabric, creating a strong visual impact.
What is faintly visible is the full curve of the chest. Although it is not completely exposed, the hazy feeling of being vague and visible is more intriguing than direct nakedness.
The length of the kimono is also shockingly short.
A traditional kimono typically reaches the ankles, embodying a dignified and elegant look. However, the kimono worn by Hinata on screen only reaches the upper-middle thighs. As she moves with a leisurely, almost languid gait, the slit hem of the kimono gently sways, revealing a pair of long, well-proportioned legs.
The skin on her legs was equally fair and delicate, with smooth and graceful lines. From the tight thighs to the slender calves, and then to the small and exquisite ankles, every inch seemed to have been carefully carved, full of youthful vitality and mature charm.
What’s even worse is that the fabric of the kimono looks unusually thin and close-fitting.
It wasn’t the heavy, stiff texture of a traditional kimono, but rather a soft, smooth silk fabric that tightly hugged her exquisitely curvaceous figure. From her slender waist to her perky hips to her long legs, every curve was perfectly outlined and revealed in this bold kimono.
The fabric seemed to have a faint luster, and as her body moved, the light and shadow flowed, adding a bit of indescribable temptation.
Around her waist, she wore a lighter purple belt. The knot was tied somewhat casually, but it perfectly defined her slender waist, which was barely thick enough to be held in one hand. It also highlighted her full breasts and perky buttocks, forming an exciting S-shaped curve.
This outfit is a world of difference from the usual Hinata Hyuga who always wraps herself tightly and wants to hide herself!
This can no longer be described as “bold”, this is simply… unruly!
At least, in the eyes of the relatively conservative ninjas in Konoha Village, especially those who claim to be members of prominent families, this kind of clothing is absolutely indecent and disgusting!
Everyone in the square subconsciously held their breath when they saw the figure slowly appear on the screen and saw the details of her clothing clearly.
Many people even forget to blink, for fear of missing any details.
Immediately afterwards, the screen gave a clear close-up of the face of “Hinata” on the screen.
The camera focused on her face which was identical to Hinata’s in real life.
Her short dark blue hair still fell softly on both sides of her cheeks, making her face look even smaller and more delicate. Her skin was fair and delicate, with almost no flaws visible.
However, when everyone’s eyes were focused on her iconic white eyes, everyone who was familiar with Hinata Hyuga felt a throbbing and shudder deep in their souls.
Those white eyes were still pure and flawless, without a trace of impurities, like two pieces of fine white jade.
However, the look contained in those white eyes was completely different from that of Hinata Hyuga who was always shy, evasive, and afraid to look people in the eye!
Chapter 16: That figure, that look, that temperament… (Old version)
At this moment, the eyes of the “Hinata” on the screen no longer had the shyness and habitual avoidance that was deep in her bones.
Instead, there is a bold, staring scrutiny.
Her eyes, without reservation, carried a hint of laziness, a hint of playfulness, and even a hint of subtle teasing, as she slowly swept across… as if sweeping across every person in front of the screen.
That look was like an elegant and cunning cat, sizing up its prey with its all-seeing gaze.
He also looked like an experienced hunter, assessing the challenge before him with a confident and calm look.
There was an indescribable confidence and determination in her eyes, as if everything in the world was under her control.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, forming a shallow arc that was full of charm and confidence.
It wasn’t Hinata’s usual shy, apologetic smile, nor was it the innocent smile that came from the heart.
It’s a kind of… seeming to be able to see through people’s hearts and play everything in the palm of his hand, with a bit of evil charm, a bit of laziness, and a bit of superiority in his smile.
That smile, coupled with her bold eyes and that striking outfit, made her exude a breathtaking, enchanting charm.
She just stood there quietly, without making any unnecessary movements or saying a word, but the strong aura and extreme temptation she exuded were enough to make anyone who saw her feel shaken and unable to control themselves.
Is this… is this still the Hyuga Hinata they know? !
No!
This is absolutely not!
This is clearly… a demon that came out from the abyss of hell and specializes in bewitching people!
Or, as the onscreen title puts it – a succubus!
When the “Hinata from the parallel world” whose image was so different from her usual one was fully presented in front of everyone on the screen, and when her bold clothes and charming eyes were clearly imprinted on everyone’s retina——
The entire huge square under the Hokage Rock fell into an unprecedented and eerie silence.
Time seemed to have completely frozen at this moment.
The air seemed to be sucked out at this moment.
All the movements and sounds of everyone came to an abrupt halt at this moment.
Be it the Hyuga clan members who were still roaring in anger, the anxiously worried members of Team 8, or the other ninjas who were whispering, at this moment, they all froze in place as if they were cast under a spell.
Their faces were frozen with an indescribable expression—it was shock, astonishment, disbelief, and a hint of… uncontrollable amazement and palpitations, all intricately intertwined.
This dead silence lasted for less than two or three seconds.
immediately–
“hiss–!!!”
A series of clear and distinct gasps, as if prearranged, suddenly exploded in the silent square!
The sound was so uniform and so loud, as if it was going to suck out all the air in the chest at once.
Countless ninjas, especially those male ninjas who were in their prime, looked like they were struck by lightning. Their eyes were wide open, their mouths were open almost enough to swallow a fist, and their faces were filled with shock and horror that could not be described in words.
Their Adam’s apples rolled up and down uncontrollably, and they swallowed hard, but still felt dry mouth.
After a brief pause, their hearts began to beat wildly at an uncontrollable speed, and blood surged in their veins like surging magma, causing their cheeks and ears to flush abnormally uncontrollably.
They stared at the figure on the screen in disbelief.
That face was clearly the familiar Hyuga Hinata.
But that figure, that look, that temperament… made them feel so strange, so… impactful!
The image in their minds of the eldest daughter of the Hyuga family, who always kept her head down, spoke in a soft voice, and was as shy as a frightened little rabbit, began to collapse at this moment at a devastating speed!
Instead, there is a strange beauty full of extreme temptation and danger!
This strong contrast, this huge subversion of vision and cognition, gave their spirits an unprecedented shock.
Some young ninjas with weaker willpower even found it difficult to breathe. Their brains went blank and they completely lost the ability to think. They could only stare blankly at the screen, allowing that figure to completely capture their minds.
Even some of the senior ninjas who were usually known for their calmness and composure could not remain calm at this moment.
The only eye that was exposed widened slightly, a complex and incomprehensible light flashing in it. He subconsciously touched his mask, as if trying to conceal his inner turmoil.
The cigarette that Asuma Sarutobi was holding in the corner of his mouth had fallen to the ground at some point, but he was completely unaware of it. He just stared blankly at the screen, his throat a little dry.
Even the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, a man who had seen a lot, couldn’t help but show a hint of astonishment on his aged face when he saw the “Hinata” on the screen. The pipe in his hand trembled slightly, and the ashes fell to the ground.
As for the female ninjas, after a brief moment of shock, their expressions became even more complicated.
Some people showed disgust and contempt, thinking that this kind of dress was shameless.
Some people, with a bit of jealousy and unwillingness, subconsciously looked down at their own figures, then looked up at the perfect and almost weird curves on the screen.
Some people with simpler minds were simply confused and puzzled, and didn’t understand why the usually shy Hinata would become like this.
The entire square was plunged into chaos and commotion because of the first appearance of this “Hinata from the parallel world” on the screen.
When the “self” on the screen with bold clothes and charming eyes came into view clearly, the real Hyuga Hinata felt that her eyes suddenly went dark, as if all the light in the world was instantly drained away, leaving only a suffocating darkness and despair.
“ah–!!!”
She wanted to scream, to use all her strength to make a sound to vent the shame and fear in her heart that almost tore her apart.
But her throat seemed to be tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and apart from the tiny whimpering like the cry of a small animal, she could not utter any complete syllables.
Chapter 17 “Ah——!!!” (Old Version)
So ashamed and angry!
This word is not enough to describe her mood at this moment!
She couldn’t imagine it! She couldn’t even dream of it!
I… I actually dressed like that!
That… that dark purple kimono that was almost as if she wasn’t wearing anything, the exposed white skin, the slender legs that appeared and disappeared with her movements…
Every detail was like a red-hot iron, burning her heart fiercely, making her feel a burning pain and shame deep in her bones!
She couldn’t even imagine that there would be such a look in her eyes!
That kind…that kind of bold, direct look full of teasing and playfulness!
That’s not her at all! It’s definitely not her!
How could she, Hyuga Hinata, look at someone like that?!
She didn’t even have the courage to look people in the eye normally, let alone… the kind of eyes that seemed to be able to take away people’s souls!
This… This would make her feel ten thousand times more uncomfortable than just killing her or torturing her in the cruelest way!
Physical pain may still be bearable.
But this kind of public mental execution, this kind of humiliation of exposing the most unbearable side of her heart (if that was really her) nakedly in front of the whole village, made her feel unprecedented despair and collapse!
Her body, shaken by the extreme shame and shock, began to shake violently, more violently than ever before. Her legs had completely lost the strength to support her. If Xi Rihong hadn’t been holding her tightly, she would have collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
“Hinata!”
“Hinata, hold on!”
She could hear the anxious cries of Inuzuka Kiba and Aburame Shino. Their voices, with a powerful spiritual force, tried to pull her back from the brink of being swallowed by darkness.
Ya’s voice was full of anxiety and anger. He wanted to rush up and smash the damn screen to pieces, but he was more worried about Hinata’s condition.
Shino’s voice trembled slightly, and he tried hard to sound calm, but the worry and shock deep in his heart were difficult to conceal.
Hinata heard their calls. The familiar voice was like a faint light of fire in the darkness, allowing her to barely grasp a trace of clarity when she was on the verge of complete despair.
She wanted to respond to them, wanted to tell them that she was okay, but she didn’t even have the strength to open her eyes.
The scene before my eyes had already turned into a blur of light and shadow and rotating blocks of color.
She felt that her consciousness was like a small boat drifting in a storm, which could be swallowed by the huge waves at any time.
“No… no… that’s not me… that’s definitely not me…”
She cried out silently and desperately in her heart.
Tears, like beads with broken strings, flowed uncontrollably from the corners of her tightly closed eyes, rolling down her pale and cold cheeks one after another, wetting her clothes and the arm of Xi Rihong who was supporting her.
She felt like she was going to die.
Not physical death, but mental…complete collapse.
She would rather faint right now and never wake up again than look at the “self” on the screen that made her feel so ashamed and angry.
And just behind the square, in the area where the Hyuga clan members gathered, the atmosphere was extremely depressing, as if the air had solidified into ice.
Hyuga Hiashi, the usually dignified and imposing head of the Hyuga clan, now had a face that couldn’t be described as “black as the bottom of a pot.” It was a sullen hue mixed with extreme anger, immense humiliation, and deep despair, even tinged with an unnatural gray.
His body was shaking violently as he was forcibly suppressing the rage that was about to burst through his head. His hands, hidden in his wide sleeves, had already been clenched into fists, his nails deeply embedded in his palms, and blood was dripping, but he felt no pain at all.
His pair of pure white eyes were now filled with hideous bloodshot, and his eyeballs appeared abnormally prominent due to congestion, as if they were about to burst from their eye sockets.
On his forehead, veins bulged out like dragons, throbbing violently, revealing the rage within him that had accumulated to its peak.
He stared intently at the scantily clad, seductive Hinata Hyuga on the screen. Every scene and every detail were like sharp steel knives, cutting into his heart and torturing his dignity.
His daughter! His daughter, Hyuga Hiashi! One of the heirs of the Hyuga clan!
He actually… actually appeared in front of the whole village in such an unsightly and immoral image!
Moreover, she was labeled with insulting and erotic labels such as “succubus” and “the ultimate temptation with white eyes”!
This is not only a humiliation to Hinata personally, but also the most vicious attack and trampling on the entire Hyuga clan!
It was a slap in the face of the Hyuga clan in front of the entire ninja world!
It is telling everyone that the Byakugan that the Hyuga clan is proud of, the glory and dignity that they have guarded for generations, are nothing but a joke!
Hinata Hiashi let out a silent, beast-like roar in his heart.
He could hardly control the chakra in his body, and wanted to desperately use the Hyuga family’s most powerful physical technique to destroy the damn screen and the unknown operator behind the screen into pieces!
The members of the Hyuga Elders behind him were so angry that they were shaking all over, their faces turned purple, and they almost fainted on the spot.
“How outrageous! How outrageous! –!!!” An elder with a white beard could no longer maintain his usual reserve and composure. He pointed at the eerie figure on the screen with a trembling finger, his lips trembling. Due to excessive excitement and anger, he could not even utter a complete sentence, and could only make some meaningless “ho ho” sounds.
His eyes were filled with incredible anger and deep despair.
In his entire life, he had never seen anything so… so shameless, so disgraceful to the family!
This is even more painful for them than killing these old bones directly!
“Monster! Monster!” Another elder beat his chest and stamped his feet, tears streaming down his face. “My Hyuga clan has been clean for generations, standing firm in the world with our noble bloodline and strict family rules. How could we have produced such… such a shameless person!”
He had completely regarded the “Hinata” on the screen as some kind of monster possessing Hinata, or a manifestation of Hinata’s own corruption.
“Our white eyes… our white eyes… have been desecrated like this! Such blasphemy!” Some elders were so excited that they couldn’t catch their breath and almost fainted on the spot. Fortunately, they were supported in time by the tribesmen beside them.
Chapter 18 Hyuga Hinata!! (Old Version)
At this moment, the glory and dignity of the Hyuga clan were torn to pieces, stepped on, and crushed by the huge black screen and the “Hyuga Hinata” on the screen who was completely different from what they knew!
The entire Hyuga clan was plunged into unprecedented shock and chaos because of this sudden “inventory”.
The foundation of the family seemed to begin to shake at this moment.
Just as everyone in the square, especially the members of the Hyuga clan, was shocked by the “Hinata from the parallel world” who was dressed boldly and had charming eyes on the screen, and fell into confusion and shame, the image on the screen changed again.
In the picture, “Hinata”, who was wearing a dark purple modified kimono, slowly glanced around with her lazy and playful eyes, and then made a new move.
She gently raised her right hand. It was slender and fair, with neatly trimmed nails and a light pink nail polish that shone with a barely perceptible sheen in the dim light. Her movements were graceful and deliberate, with a pleasing rhythm that was completely different from the usual clumsy and nervous Hinata.
With the slight movement of her hands, the blue veins on both sides of her eyes slowly emerged like two thin green snakes, becoming clearly visible.
Eye roll, turned on!
Completely different from the focused, tense and serious atmosphere when a ninja opens his Byakugan in battle, the process of “Hinata” on the screen opening her Byakugan appears unusually calm and natural, as if it is just a simple daily action, as casual as breathing.
She still had that confident and charming smile on her face, and her eyes still held that all-knowing playfulness. She hadn’t become fierce or alert at all because of the activation of her bloodline limit.
The moment her Byakugan opened, the image on the screen displayed many details of her surroundings in an extremely smooth and clear manner.
It was as if the audience’s perspective was also opened along with her rolling eyes, and they had a 360-degree insight without blind spots.
The corners of the room, previously blurred by the dim light, were now clearly visible. The tiny specks of dust floating in the air, the delicate patterns on the walls, the utensils placed on the distant table, even the subtle traces hidden in the shadows, were all revealed by her white eyes.
The language of the camera cleverly suggests that she seems to be scouting a specific target, or perceiving some specific information in the surrounding environment.
Her eyes seemed to move around the room casually, but every look was precise and meaningful.
However, unlike the concentration and solemnity of traditional ninjas when performing reconnaissance missions, her expression always carried a hint of playfulness, a hint of teasing like a cat and mouse.
Her pair of pure white eyes were like two searchlights that could penetrate all illusions, seeing everything around her clearly and distinctly.
And she, like a chess player in control of the overall situation, leisurely admires the chess pieces on the board that have nowhere to hide, and admires the secrets that are exposed under her insight.
It felt like everything was under her control and no one could hide anything from her.
She didn’t seem to be in a hurry to take the next step, but just stood there quietly. The confident and charming curve at the corner of her mouth, after she rolled her eyes, added a bit of indescribable mystery and danger.
It is a kind of calmness and confidence that the prey is completely exposed in one’s sight, and one can “enjoy” it at will whenever one is happy.
Just as everyone in the square, especially those ninjas who knew something about the Byakugan, were wondering what this “Hinata from the parallel world” was investigating and how powerful her Byakugan was, a low and magnetic narration voice (if it existed, or was hinted at through more clever camera language and picture details) began to sound slowly, interpreting the use of the Byakugan by this “Hinata” on the screen.
(The following content, if there is no narration, will be reflected through subsequent screen demonstrations and character interactions)
“The Hyuga Hinata of this world, with her Byakugan, has long surpassed the traditional meaning of reconnaissance and combat assistance.”
“She has brought the insight of her Byakugan to an incredible level.”
“The ordinary Byakugan can see through the flow of chakra, understanding the body’s meridian system, and assisting in the execution of exquisite soft fists. Furthermore, it can possess a nearly 360-degree field of view and the ability to see through extremely long distances, becoming an invincible reconnaissance weapon on the battlefield.”
“But her eyes can see much more than that.”
The images on the screen, along with the voice of the narrator (or camera hints), begin to show some subtle changes.
When the Byakugan of “Hinata” sweeps over certain objects, or “makes eye contact” with some invisible beings, some faint colored halos representing emotions or desires will appear on the screen.
For example, when her eyes fall on a gorgeous piece of jewelry, a golden light representing “greed” will appear around the jewelry.
When her eyes sweep over an empty wine glass, a red aura representing “desire” may appear around the glass.
The narration voice continued to explain: “Her white eyes can not only see through all the appearances and inner meanings of the material world, but can also easily see through the deepest desires, the most fragile weaknesses, and those unknown thoughts hidden beneath the consciousness.”
“Anger, joy, sadness, fear, greed, jealousy, love, hatred… all the complex emotions of human beings, under her gaze, are as clear as words written on paper, and nothing can escape her.”
“She can easily tell what the person standing in front of her is thinking, what they desire, what they fear, and what is causing them to waver.”
“Therefore, her Byakugan is no longer just a passive reconnaissance tool.”
“It has become an active, lethal weapon—a supreme tool capable of captivating people, controlling situations, and manipulating everything.”
On the screen, some brief, montage-like flashback clips appeared at appropriate times.
In the clip, you can see this “Hinata from the parallel world” facing different people.
Some of them were businessmen in luxurious clothes. She would just stare at them quietly with her white eyes with a faint smile. They would then break out in a cold sweat uncontrollably and then obediently reveal their deepest secrets.
Some of them are powerful ninjas. With her seemingly casual glance, they will lose their minds, reveal their flaws, and eventually be easily subdued by her.
Chapter 19: Seeing Through the Desires of the Human Heart… (Old Version)
There are also powerful nobles who would be completely captivated by her lazy and provocative gaze, obey her every word, and willingly meet all her requests.
Each clip is extremely short, but clearly shows how her white eyes are used to achieve her own goals by seeing through people’s desires and weaknesses.
She didn’t even need to use any coercive means or perform any complicated illusions.
She only needs to look at you with her white eyes, and then use the simplest words or the most subtle movements to precisely “induce” you, so that you will act according to her wishes without realizing it.
It feels like he is a most skilled psychologist, but also a devil who knows how to exploit human nature.
She can easily find the softest part of your heart, and then slowly inject the most deadly poison into it in the most gentle way.
“She is the hunter of human hearts. And her white eyes are that invincible net that can capture all souls…
The narrator’s voice slowly fell with a hint of profound emotion.
The scene on the screen returned to Hinata, dressed in a modified dark purple kimono. She maintained her elegant and calm demeanor, her eyes still open, and the confident and seductive smile on her face remained.
It seemed as if everything the narrator said just now was just a basic description of her abilities.
When the screen shows this “new way” of using the Byakugan by this “parallel world Hinata”, especially when the narration (or camera language) clearly explains that her Byakugan can not only see through material things, but also see through people’s desires and weaknesses, and use this as a weapon to charm and control others –
Behind the square, in the area where the Hyuga clan members gathered, there was another uproar.
If the previous “Hinata”‘s bold clothing and charming eyes brought them visual impact and humiliation to the family’s reputation.
At this moment, this “new interpretation” of the ability of the White Eyes has brought them a more profound and huge subversion at the cognitive and belief levels!
The Hyuga clan members, especially those main family members and branch family elites who were proud of their bloodline limits, felt as if they were struck by an invisible thunderbolt on the head, and were completely stunned.
Their faces showed expressions of disbelief, astonishment, and even a bit of fear than when they saw Hinata’s clothes before.
“This… How is this possible?!”
“Byakugan… How could the Byakugan have this… this ability?!”
“Seeing through people’s desires? Charming people? This… this is simply unheard of!”
Exclamations, questions, and suppressed gasps echoed one after another among the Hyuga clan members.
The education they have received and the knowledge passed down from generation to generation all tell them:
The Byakugan is the noble bloodline limit of the Hyuga clan, and is the sacred eye given to them by God!
Its power lies in its unparalleled insight and the great role it can play in combat and reconnaissance.
It is pure, sacred, and a powerful tool to maintain family honor and protect village peace!
They had never thought, nor dared to think, that the Byakugan, a bloodline limit with “insight” and “clairvoyance” as its main abilities, could actually be associated with words full of negative and evil connotations such as “charm”, “controlling people’s hearts”, and “inducing desires”!
This is simply subverting their centuries-old beliefs! It is a blasphemy against the sacred and inviolable white eyes in their hearts!
Hyuga Neji’s expression was extremely ugly at this moment.
His brows were tightly knitted into a knot, and his eyes, which always showed a sense of arrogance and coldness, were now trembling slightly because of extreme shock and confusion.
He subconsciously raised his hand and touched the blue veins at the corners of his eyes that appeared due to the Byakugan, as if he wanted to confirm whether what he possessed was the same as what the “Hinata” on the screen possessed.
“Seeing through people’s desires… taking advantage of human weaknesses…” Neji muttered to himself, his voice filled with disbelief and a hint of imperceptible… fear.
He has always been proud of his Byakugan, believing that his insight is unmatched among his peers. He has also used the advantage of his Byakugan to see through his opponents’ weaknesses in battle and thus achieve victory.
However, that kind of insight is based on observation of chakra flow and body structure, and is pure combat skill.
But what this “Hinata” on the screen showed was a more… deeper and more terrifying insight!
That is an insight into the “human heart” and the utilization of “desire”!
This was beyond his understanding of the Byakugan’s abilities, and even made him feel a little chilly.
If… if the Byakugan can really achieve this level, then how terrifying will the person who possesses this ability become?
She can easily see through all your disguises, know all your secrets, and then play you like a puppet!
This is more terrifying than any powerful ninjutsu!
This huge subversion of cognition made it difficult for Hyuga Neji and many Hyuga clan members present to accept it for a while.
Their worldview and their understanding of their family’s bloodline limits were all subjected to an unprecedented severe impact at this moment.
Some young, inexperienced Hyuga clan members even showed confused and bewildered expressions on their faces. They didn’t know who to trust: the teachings of their family elders, or the seemingly… more “powerful” and “scary” way of using the Byakugan on the screen?
Hinata Hiashi’s expression became even gloomier because of this sudden “new use of the Byakugan”.
He stared at the screen intently, and in his bloodshot eyes, besides anger and murderous intent, there was also a hint of solemnity and… fear.
As the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, his understanding of the Byakugan far surpassed that of ordinary people. He knew the Byakugan’s potential was enormous, but he had never imagined that it could be developed to such a degree… such a degree that it bordered on “black magic.”
If this ability is real, then the danger level of this “Hinata in the parallel world” is probably far beyond his imagination.
This made the desire to tear the mastermind behind the incident into pieces even stronger in his heart.
Just as the Hyuga clan was in great cognitive shock and inner confusion because of the “new use” of the Byakugan, another group of people in the square – the senior officials of Konoha Village, after experiencing the initial shock and astonishment, keenly captured some unique information from the use of the Byakugan by the “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen, and began to think from a different perspective.
Chapter 20: Some male ninjas even swallowed uncontrollably (old version)
The look of astonishment on the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, had gradually faded, replaced by a serious, thoughtful expression. His old, wise eyes stared intently at the screen, a complex glint flickering in them.
He took a puff of his pipe and slowly exhaled smoke rings. In the smoke, his expression seemed somewhat unfathomable.
“Seeing through people’s desires…precise guidance…” He murmured to himself, with a barely perceptible hint of wonder in his tone.
If Tsunade and Jiraiya were present at this moment (depending on the plot background), their reactions would probably be similar to that of the Third Hokage.
Tsunade, as a leading expert in medical ninjutsu, is well aware of the complexity and fragility of the human heart. If the Byakugan could truly see into the human heart to this degree, what terrifying effects would it have on the treatment of certain mental illnesses or the breakdown of willpower?
Jiraiya, as one of the legendary Sannin, a world-traveler and knowledgeable, understood the importance of intelligence. If someone possessing these Byakugan were used for intelligence gathering, subversion, or even interrogation, how terrifying would that be? No fortress, no matter how strong, would be able to withstand such a “weapon” that strikes directly at the heart.
These high-ranking figures in Konoha had long since transcended simple moral judgments and family honor in their thinking. They assessed the value and risks of a new ability from a strategic perspective, from the perspective of the village’s interests.
After the initial shock, they couldn’t help but turn their gazes to the still trembling and crumbling Hyuga Hinata in the crowd.
Their expressions became extremely complicated.
There is sympathy and compassion, but there is also a hint of…an inexplicable scrutiny and re-evaluation.
If…if Hinata Hyuga from their Konoha Village could also develop her Byakugan to this extent…
No, no, no! They immediately dismissed the idea.
The “Hinata from the parallel world” on the screen was completely different from the shy and introverted Hinata they knew, whether in her clothing, eyes, or behavior. That ability seemed to complement her unique temperament.
They couldn’t imagine that Hinata, who would blush even when speaking loudly in real life, would become like that on the screen.
However, a possibility was quietly planted in their hearts.
The potential of the Byakugan may be even greater than they imagined.
The Hyuga clan, this ancient and powerful family, their bloodline limits may hide more undiscovered secrets.
This understanding made them have a new and more cautious assessment of the Hyuga clan, the bloodline limit of the Byakugan, and even the seemingly insignificant girl Hinata Hyuga.
At this moment, the value of intelligence was redefined by them.
Just as everyone in the square was having different thoughts and emotions because of the “new use of rolling eyes”, the scene on the screen changed again without warning.
The room that had just displayed the Byakugan’s insight disappeared.
Instead, there was a darker, more ambiguous scene…it seemed to be the interior of a luxurious room.
The furnishings in the room looked luxurious and exquisite. Soft carpets, gorgeous curtains, incense burners emitting a faint fragrance, and some strangely shaped utensils that seemed to be used to enhance the mood were placed vaguely in the corners of the room.
The tones of the entire room tend to be warm, mainly dark red and deep purple. The lighting is also very particular, with bright and dark colors, creating an imaginative and charming atmosphere.
And the “Hinata from the parallel world” wearing a dark purple modified kimono is now facing the camera sideways, standing in the center of the room.
Her face still wore that confident and charming smile, and her pure white eyes seemed to be stained with an indescribable and hazy color under the dim and ambiguous light.
In front of her stood a tall and straight male figure.
The man had his back to the camera, and all that could be seen were his broad shoulders, slender figure, and dark clothes that looked to be of extraordinary texture.
He seemed to be talking to “Hinata” on the screen, but his face was completely obscured by a deliberately added mist-like blur effect, making it impossible to see his specific appearance, and even his hairstyle and approximate age were difficult to judge.
This deliberate ambiguity not only does not reduce the audience’s curiosity, but instead adds a sense of mystery and a strong desire for speculation.
who is he?
What is his relationship with this “Hinata from a parallel world”?
What will happen between them in this room full of ambiguity?
Countless questions, like mushrooms after rain, sprouted wildly in the minds of all the audience.
The atmosphere in the square suddenly became more eerie and… charming because of this sudden change in the scene and the appearance of the mysterious blurry male figure.
Some male ninjas even swallowed uncontrollably, their eyes filled with anticipation and some kind of unspeakable excitement.
Most of the female ninjas showed expressions of contempt and disgust, thinking that some disgusting scenes might appear next.
The members of the Hyuga clan were so angry that they felt dizzy and almost vomited blood on the spot.
This is like pouring salt on the wound of the Hyuga family, and then burning it again with a red-hot iron!
This is an absolute shame and humiliation!
When the screen switched to the room with ambiguous lighting and a charming atmosphere, and when the tall, blurry male figure appeared before “Hinata from the parallel world,” everyone in the square’s heartstrings suddenly tightened. They had a premonition that something might happen next… something beyond their imagination.
In the picture, the “Hinata from the parallel world” wearing a dark purple modified kimono, after confronting the blurry man for a moment, slowly made new movements and changes in expression.
She tilted her head slightly, her graceful neck forming a gentle curve that accentuated her small, delicate chin. This posture gave her a look of pride, a touch of laziness, and yet a touch of… deliberate vulnerability and submission, creating a strangely contradictory yet incredibly alluring charm.
Her eyes fell on the blurry male figure in front of her.
And her eyes also quietly changed at this moment.
The look that was filled with a bit of amusement and scrutiny gradually became a little blurred.
Those pure white eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of mist at this moment, with shimmering water and flowing waves. They were no longer as crystal clear as before, but instead had a hazy and dreamy feeling.
That look was full of extreme temptation.
Chapter 21 “BOOM!!!!!” (Old Version)
Like a poppy blooming in the dark night, it is beautiful and dangerous, exuding a fatal attraction. Even though people know it is poison, they still can’t help but want to get close to it and want to sink into it.
It is also like a mellow wine, which makes people feel drunk, their minds swaying and confused before they even take a sip.
The corners of her mouth slowly curled up into a… naughty smile.
Yes, smirk.
It was not an innocent smile, nor a gentle and graceful smile, but a smile that was a bit cunning, a bit playful, and even a hint of… pride and expectation of being in control of everything.
It was as if what she was about to engage in was not a serious conversation or a dangerous confrontation, but a… an interesting “game” full of unknowns and excitement.
And she is the master of this game, the one who makes the rules and enjoys watching her prey struggle under her rules… a bad player.
This smile, coupled with her blurred and seductive eyes, and her bold and revealing outfit, makes her exude an irresistible and enchanting charm.
Compared to the usual Hyuga Hinata who always kept her head down, didn’t even dare to look people in the eye, and always had a hint of shyness and innocence in her smile, she was completely different! She was like two completely different people!
This strong contrast made everyone in the square who was familiar with Hinata feel palpitations and… inexplicable excitement.
Just as everyone was attracted by her sudden change in demeanor, their hearts filled with all kinds of speculation and expectations—
On the screen, the “Hinata from the parallel world” made a… a shocking move that was enough to make all the Hyuga clan members present vomit blood on the spot, make all the male ninjas’ blood boil, and make all the female ninjas stunned…!
Slowly, deliberately, and with an indescribable sense of rhythm, she made a… “eye-rolling” gesture!
Yes, eye roll!
The iconic move of the Hyuga clan!
Opening the white eyes, intimidating the enemy in battle, or expressing certain emotions in daily life are all possible actions.
but!
At this moment, the “rolling eyes” action made by the “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen is completely different from any “rolling eyes” they know!
It was not the fierceness and deterrence during battle, nor the focus and concentration during reconnaissance.
It is not the kind of perfunctory action done in daily life out of helplessness or contempt.
But…
Her eyes flowed gently like spring water, with a lazy and seductive meaning.
Then, her eyeballs rolled upwards gently and slowly.
The pure white eyeballs seemed to tremble slightly as they rolled upwards, as if trying to suppress some emotion that was about to overflow.
The blue veins at the corners of the eyes were also slightly revealed, adding a touch of fragile beauty.
When the eyeballs roll upwards to a certain extreme angle, they stay there for a moment, as if time has frozen.
Then, it slowly fell down with an unbearable rhythm.
The whole process is slow and clear, full of deliberate performance.
And when her eyeballs slowly fell and her sight refocused on the blurry male figure in front of her, her already blurred eyes were now covered with a layer of thick, indissoluble moisture, as if water could drip out at any time.
Her eyes are charming and full of charm.
Coupled with the naughty, sly, and playful smile on her lips, her slightly tilted head, and the boldly revealing dark purple modified kimono…
At this moment, the action of “rolling eyes” is given a whole new and jaw-dropping meaning!
It was no longer a simple physiological action, nor was it a display of bloodline limits.
But… it’s an indescribable, extreme, suggestive and charming… teasing!
It is a silent invitation, a fatal temptation!
It is a kind of enchanting… witchcraft that walks the line between purity and debauchery!
This action is like an invisible feather, gently yet precisely scratching the heart of every viewer, making them feel numb and trembling.
It was like a glass of the strongest liquor, which was poured down their throats when they were completely unprepared, making their brains go blank in an instant, leaving only the most primitive impulses and desires.
When the “Hinata from the parallel world” completed this “shocking” close-up shot of “provocative eye-rolling” on the screen—
The entire huge square under the Hokage Rock fell into a suffocating silence that lasted for several seconds.
It was as if time had completely stopped flowing at this moment.
It was as if the air was completely sucked out at this moment.
It seemed as if everyone’s soul was completely hooked by that simple yet extremely tempting action at this moment.
Everyone seemed to be cast under the highest level of immobilization spell, stiffly maintaining their previous posture, motionless.
Their eyes were as big as copper bells, staring at the screen intently, as if they wanted to imprint that image in their minds forever.
Their mouths were unconsciously open, but no sound came out.
Their thoughts seemed to have stopped at this moment, and they were completely unable to understand or digest what they had just seen.
The silence was so complete and so strange that even the sound of the wind blowing through the square seemed unusually clear.
However, this extreme silence did not last long.
It’s like the brief calm before the storm.
When people recovered from the extreme shock and impact, they finally regained their composure.
“boom–!!!!!”
The entire square exploded in an instant, as if a blockbuster bomb had been dropped!
There was an unprecedented, deafening uproar! Cries! Screams!
There were even some irrepressible whistles and strange cries that were full of ambiguous meanings!
“Oh my god! What did I see?!”
“Is that… is that really Hyuga Hinata?! How could she… how could she do something like that?!”
“Roll…roll your eyes…can you…can you still do that?!”
“It’s… so exciting! It’s… so great—!!!”
Countless ninjas, especially those young and hot-blooded male ninjas, seemed to be injected with chicken blood at this moment, their faces flushed with excitement and their speech was incoherent.
They rubbed their eyes hard, as if they couldn’t believe what they had just seen was real.
Some people even let out uncontrollable wolf-like howls, their eyes filled with shock, excitement, and a hint of…unspeakable desire.
Chapter 22 Even if it’s just “myself in a parallel world”! (Old version)
At this moment, their worldview was completely refreshed!
They had never imagined that the Hyuga clan’s iconic Byakugan, which in their impression represented nobility, purity, and powerful insight, could actually… actually be displayed in such a “charming” and “seductive” way!
This was more shocking and…exciting to them than any forbidden technique!
Some ninjas who usually looked righteous could not remain calm at this moment. There was a strange light flashing in their eyes, and their Adam’s apples rolled up and down uncontrollably. It was obvious that they were also greatly shocked inside.
Most of the female ninjas showed expressions of contempt, disgust, and even a bit of shame and anger.
“Shame on you! Absolutely shameless!”
“She…how could she do that? In front of so many people!”
“This…this is simply ruining the reputation of us female ninjas!”
They felt that the behavior of “Hinata” on the screen was extremely dissolute and completely beyond their moral bottom line.
Some girls who were shy even blushed with shame and dared not look at the screen.
As for the members of the Hyuga clan, their reaction at this moment can no longer be described as “anger” or “shame.”
Many of them, when they saw the close-up shot of the “provocative eye-rolling”, were so angry that they felt dizzy, trembling all over, and almost fainted on the spot.
When the deafening uproar and all kinds of unbearable discussions broke out in the square, they felt even more ashamed and wished they could find a hole in the ground to crawl into and never come out to see anyone again.
“puff–!!!”
An elderly Hyuga elder, because he was too excited and suffered such a huge shock, actually spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot, and then fell straight back and lost consciousness.
“Elder!”
“Quick! Save the elder!”
The Hyuga clan’s team suddenly fell into greater chaos.
Hinata Hiashi’s face was now as dark as the sky before a storm, so gloomy it looked like water could drip from it. He clenched his teeth tightly, making a grinding sound from the excessive force. His bloodshot eyes stared fixedly at the screen, filled with murderous intent and… a deep sense of powerlessness.
He knew it was over.
The face of the Hyuga clan, the glory and dignity of the Hyuga clan, at this moment, were completely and ruthlessly torn to pieces, trampled underfoot, and crushed into the soil by this damn screen and the “daughter” on the screen who did such a shocking thing!
He could even imagine what kind of images and comments people would think of when they mentioned the Hyuga clan and the Byakugan from now on.
That would be a shame that the Hyuga clan would never be able to wash away!
As for the other central figure in all these events, the real-life Hinata Hyuga, when she witnessed the “herself” on the screen making that “shocking” “provocative eye-rolling” action, her brain went completely blank after a loud buzzing sound.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
The sound seemed to disappear at this moment.
In her world, the only thing left was the close-up shot of her rolling her eyes, which kept replaying on the screen and was full of extreme temptation and charm.
That look…that smile…that gesture…
Every detail was like an extremely sharp knife, cutting her already fragile nerves repeatedly and mercilessly.
The blood color, like a tide, instantly faded from her face, making her already pale face even paler as paper, without a trace of blood color, like a delicate and fragile porcelain doll.
Her worldview, her values, all the cognition and beliefs she had built up over the past decade or so were completely and ruthlessly shattered at this moment by the huge black screen and the “self” on the screen who was completely opposite to her!
Crushed into the tiniest dust, never to be put back together again.
She couldn’t accept it!
She couldn’t accept it no matter what!
That…that woman who was wearing revealing clothes, had a dreamy look in her eyes, a sly smile, and even…even did such bold, such coquettish, and such…shameless actions, could be “me”!
Even if it’s just “myself in a parallel world”!
This made her feel more ashamed, more terrified, and more… disgusting than any scene she had seen before!
Yes, disgusting!
A strong, irrepressible feeling of nausea came from the bottom of her heart and surged up her throat like a surging sea, making her almost vomit.
At the same time, a strong feeling of dizziness swept over her body like a tide.
She felt dizzy, and the scene before her began to shake, twist, and deform violently, as if the whole world was collapsing before her eyes.
The deafening shouts, screams, and whistles that came from my ears became increasingly distant and blurred, as if they came from another world.
She couldn’t hold on any longer.
Her body, which was already shaky due to extreme shame and fear, was now like a willow catkin that had lost all support. Her legs went soft and she could no longer stand, falling straight back.
Consciousness, like a candle flame about to go out, flickered a few times in the darkness before sinking completely.
“Hinata–!!!”
Just as Hinata was about to fall to the ground, Inuzuka Kiba, who had been watching her closely, let out a cry of horror.
He reacted almost instinctively, leaping forward with quick eyes and hands. Just before Hinata’s head hit the ground, he stretched out his arms and held her limp body steadily in his arms.
“Hey! Hinata! How are you?! Wake up! Hinata!”
Inuzuka Kiba held the cold, pale, and completely unconscious girl in his arms. He was sweating profusely and his voice was full of anxiety and fear.
He could clearly feel that Hinata’s body was as cold as ice at this moment, and was still shaking violently and uncontrollably, as if she was suffering from some unspeakable pain.
Aburame Shino also stepped forward immediately. He stretched out his hand and gently felt Hinata’s pulse on her neck with his slightly cool fingers.
“Her pulse is very weak and very irregular.” Shino’s voice had lost its usual calmness, now carrying a subtle hint of solemnity and worry. “She has suffered a great mental shock. She must be treated immediately!”
Chapter 23 “Too…too exciting!” (Old version)
However, the invisible restraining force still existed, and they could not leave the square or send Hinata to the medical team.
They could only watch as Hinata fell unconscious in their arms, unable to do anything.
“Hinata! Hinata! Hold on! Do you hear me?!”
Xihihong was not far away. She saw that her student finally fainted because he could not bear the huge humiliation and shock. She was so anxious that her eyes turned red.
She tried desperately to get closer and check on Hinata, but the invisible force was like an indestructible wall, blocking her out.
She could only use all her strength to shout Hinata’s name loudly, trying to use her voice to awaken her consciousness that had sunk into darkness.
However, the results were minimal.
The chaos in the square came to a temporary halt due to Hinata’s sudden fainting.
Everyone’s eyes involuntarily turned to that direction.
However, the image on the screen did not stop because Hinata fainted.
It continues to play mercilessly.
The extremely impactful scene of the “provocative eye-roll” performed by the “Hinata from the parallel world” on the screen was as stimulating to many young ninjas who were in adolescence and full of vigor as if a small tailed beast ball had exploded in front of them.
Many young ninjas with less concentration, the moment they saw the close-up shot, felt an indescribable stream of hot air rushing uncontrollably upward from their dantian and instantly rushing into their nasal cavity.
“Hmm!”
They subconsciously let out a muffled groan, hurriedly reached out their hands, and covered their noses tightly, for fear that two streams of obscene red liquid would flow out in public in the next second, which would be really embarrassing.
Their cheeks, as if burned by fire, turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly spreading from apple-like pink to the deep red of monkey’s buttocks. Even their necks and ears were not spared, all of which were stained with an abnormally hot color.
Their hearts seemed to be grasped tightly by an invisible giant hand, and then suddenly released, beating wildly with a loud “boom boom boom” sound, almost jumping out of their throats.
My breathing became heavy and rapid, my nostrils flared, and I gasped for air in big gulps, but I still felt uncomfortable and stuffy in my chest, as if the air had become thinner.
Their eyes were filled with panic and evasion.
They instinctively wanted to look away, not daring to look directly at the figure on the screen that exuded fatal temptation, as if their souls would be completely sucked away if they looked at it for one more moment.
However, a kind of curiosity and desire derived from male instinct was like an invisible little hand, constantly teasing their nerves, making them unable to help but glance at the damn screen secretly, over and over again, out of the corner of their eyes.
Every time they peeked, their heartbeats would speed up again, the blush on their faces would deepen, and the heat in their noses would become more turbulent.
“Gudong.”
A young ninja swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple rolling up and down, making a clearly audible sound.
They felt their throats were so dry as if smoking, their whole bodies were hot and dry, their hands and feet were weak, and they could hardly stand.
Some teenagers who usually look honest were so embarrassed that they wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. They covered their faces with their hands, and only a pair of frightened and somewhat blurred eyes were revealed from between their fingers. They secretly observed the reactions of the people around them, fearing that their previous incompetence would be seen by others.
As for those teenagers who are usually more lively or precocious, although they also suffered a huge visual impact, their reactions were more…direct.
They might lower their voices, make some meaningless noises and cheers with their familiar companions, with their eyes flashing with a complex mixture of excitement and curiosity.
“Hey… did you see that? That…”
“Oh my god… the eldest daughter of the Hyuga family… actually…”
“It’s… so exciting!”
They whispered to each other about their “impressions” in a shocked and somewhat obscene tone, as if they had discovered some earth-shattering secret.
In short, the amazing performance of the “Hinata from the parallel world” on the screen is undoubtedly a powerful catalyst for these young ninjas who are inexperienced in the world and are in the stage of curiosity and ignorant exploration of the opposite sex. It has thrown a huge rock into the calm lake of their hearts that is enough to stir up huge waves.
Their physical and mental health have been impacted unprecedentedly.
Compared to the young ninjas’ barely concealed physiological reactions and expressions of panic, the adult ninjas present, while relatively restrained and calm, were no less shocked than the youngsters. In fact, because they possessed greater life experience and more complex thinking abilities, the message they interpreted from that simple “provocative eye-rolling” gesture, and the resulting emotional turmoil, was even more profound and complex.
When that shocking scene appeared, many adult ninjas, especially those jonin and chunin who usually presented a steady and serious image, couldn’t help but gasp. Their pupils also suddenly contracted in shock.
After a brief moment of distraction, they subconsciously lowered their voices and whispered to their colleagues or friends who were familiar with them.
“Is this… is this really the eldest daughter of the Hyuga family? This parallel world… is so… unrestrained?” A middle-aged jonin, who looked quite serious, couldn’t help but whisper in disbelief to his companion. His eyes were filled with astonishment and a subtle hint of… curiosity.
“It’s more than unrestrained, it’s simply…shocking!” Another ninja interjected, his voice tinged with emotion and amusement, “I’ve lived for so many years, and I’ve never seen a woman who can perform the ‘rolling eyes’ action so…seductively.” As he spoke, he unconsciously touched his chin, an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.
After the initial shock, some male ninjas began to look at the screen with a complex look in their eyes.
There is both amazement at this boldness and “openness”, and also a hint of…an instinctive reaction of being attracted by that extreme temptation.
Chapter 24: Subverted! Shattered! (Old Version)
They might secretly compare the “Hinata of the parallel world” on the screen with the women they know in real life. They might even wonder what it would be like if they were facing such a woman.
Of course, they absolutely dare not express these thoughts out loud, and can only think about them silently in their hearts.
The expressions of the adult female ninjas at this moment were even more exciting.
Most of them showed obvious contempt and disdain when they saw the “provocative eye-rolling” action.
“Hmph! How immoral! How shameless!” A female jonin, who seemed to have a rather fierce personality, made no effort to conceal the disgust in her tone. “How could the Hyuga family raise a daughter like this! Even in a parallel world, this is too outrageous!”
“That’s right, this kind of woman is like a reincarnated vixen! She specializes in seducing men!” another female ninja echoed, her eyes tinged with jealousy and resentment. She subconsciously puffed out her chest, as if trying to compete with the figure on the screen, but soon realized, somewhat disheartened, that in both figure and that… enchanting “charm,” she seemed far from matching.
There are also a small number of female ninjas who are more thoughtful or have a more neutral stance. Although they are also shocked by the bold behavior of “Hinata” on the screen, they are more worried.
They couldn’t help but glance at the real Hinata Hyuga who had fainted from shame and anger not far away, their hearts filled with sympathy.
“Alas, this time, Hinata, I’m afraid she can’t wash herself clean even if she jumps into the Yellow River.”
“Yes, regardless of whether the image on the screen is real or not, as soon as this image is broadcast, her reputation…”
They shook their heads, not daring to think about it any further. They knew that in this relatively conservative ninja world, a girl, especially one from a prominent family, would face immense pressure and criticism if she were associated with such an “unbearable” image.
In short, although the adult ninjas did not lose their composure like the young ones, their inner turmoil was no less. They looked at the “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen with more complex and cautious eyes, and the various chain reactions caused by it.
At this moment, in the entire square, the ones who reacted most intensely and were most tormented were undoubtedly the members of the Hyuga clan.
When the shocking scene of “provocative eye-rolling” was deeply imprinted on their retinas like the most vicious curse, the bodies of Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Neji had completely stiffened, as if they had instantly turned into two lifeless stone statues.
Hyuga Hiashi, the usually dignified and imposing head of the Hyuga clan, now had his eyes wide open, his eyeballs bloodshot and threatening to burst from their sockets. His lips parted slightly, but no sound escaped, only heavy, strangled gasps, like a worn-out bellows, straining from the depths of his throat.
His body was shaking violently due to extreme anger and humiliation. His hands, hidden in his wide sleeves, had already been clenched into fists. His nails were deeply embedded in his palms, and blood was dripping from them, but he felt no pain at all.
He only felt that his heart was as if being tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and then thrown into a boiling oil pan, tormenting him repeatedly and causing him unbearable pain.
He couldn’t believe it! He couldn’t believe it at all!
The Hyuga clan’s sacred and inviolable Byakugan! The bloodline limit they have been proud of for generations!
To think… to think that it would be displayed in such an “obscene” and “shameless” way in front of the whole village, and maybe even the entire ninja world!
This would make him feel more painful and desperate than killing him directly!
Hyuga Neji, the man who was praised as the Hyuga clan’s rare genius in a century, was also completely petrified at this moment.
His mind was blank, and he completely lost the ability to think. Only the image of “provocative eye-rolling” was replaying in front of his eyes over and over again, mercilessly.
His eyes, which always carried a sense of arrogance and coldness, were now wide open with extreme shock and disbelief. The depths of his pupils were filled with confusion, anger, and a hint of… deep fear.
He felt that his worldview, his beliefs, and his understanding of his family’s bloodline limits had all been completely and mercilessly overturned and shattered at this moment!
He even began to doubt whether what he possessed was still that pure and sacred white eye.
An unprecedented feeling of powerlessness and despair completely drowned him like an icy tide.
After the initial shock and daze, some of the Hyuga clan elders finally couldn’t bear the huge stimulation one after another and exploded completely!
“Monster——!!! This… this is simply a monster——!!!”
An elder who usually cared most about the family’s reputation and rules could no longer maintain his usual reserve and demeanor. He suddenly raised his head, tears streaming down his face, which was flushed red with anger and humiliation. He pointed a trembling finger at the figure on the screen that still exuded fatal temptation, and with all his strength, he let out a roar of grief and indignation:
“You have tarnished the name of Hyuga! You have desecrated the bloodline of Hyuga! This evildoer! If we don’t eliminate him, we will not be able to appease the wrath of our ancestors–!!!”
His voice was hoarse and shrill, filled with endless grief and despair, like a wounded beast, letting out its final wail.
However, although his voice was full of penetrating power, it seemed so small and powerless in the face of the uproar, exclamations and discussions in the square that were like a tsunami.
Soon, it was drowned out by the louder, noisier sound and did not cause much commotion.
This further added to the sadness and helplessness of the Hyuga clan.
They seemed to be trapped in a huge vortex filled with malice and ridicule, and no matter how hard they struggled, they could not escape.
Just as the square was in chaos and the Hyuga clan was on the verge of collapse, Uzumaki Naruto, the boy who was usually the most nervous and slow to react, was now staring at the amazing performance of the “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen with his blue eyes wide open, without blinking.
He had never seen it!
He swore that in his entire life, he had never seen a girl make such an expression or make such movements!
Especially… especially that person, who usually blushes like a boiled shrimp, stutters when speaking, and is extremely shy and introverted when seeing him… Hyuga Hinata!
Chapter 25 Is it… Scared? (Old Version)
When the “Hinata” on the screen raised her head slightly, looked at the blurry male figure in front of her with her misty eyes in a dazed and seductive manner, and a naughty, cunning and playful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, Naruto’s heart skipped a beat uncontrollably, as if it had missed a beat.
He felt his cheeks getting slightly hot.
And when that “Hinata” slowly and deliberately made that “shocking” “provocative eye-rolling” gesture——
Uzumaki Naruto’s brain buzzed and instantly went blank!
His eyes were bigger than copper bells, and his eyeballs were almost bulging out of his eye sockets.
His mouth was unconsciously open, wide enough to fit a whole egg.
He just stared blankly and foolishly at the close-up shot on the screen that was full of extreme temptation and charm, as if his whole soul had been sucked in.
An indescribable and inexplicable feeling of heat, like a ignited flame, suddenly rose from the depths of his heart and quickly spread to his limbs and bones, making him feel as if his whole body was on fire and extremely hot.
His cheeks turned red uncontrollably at an alarming speed!
From the initial slight blush, to the pink of an apple, to the deep red of a ripe tomato, and finally, the red was almost so rich that it seemed to bleed, and even his ears and neck were burning red, as if steam was coming out of them.
His heart seemed to be fast-forwarded, beating wildly with loud “boom, boom, boom” and “boom, boom”. The sound was so loud and so intense that he even suspected that people around him could hear his out-of-control heartbeat.
His breathing became heavy and rapid, his nostrils flared, and he breathed in a hot breath.
Naruto swallowed subconsciously, his Adam’s apple rolling up and down, making a clearly audible sound.
He felt his throat was so dry that it felt like smoking, and his lips were also a little dry.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that his tongue seemed to be tied and he couldn’t utter a word.
My mind was in a mess. I had no idea how I should react, nor did I know what mood I was in at the moment.
Was it shock? Of course. He had never imagined that Hinata… or any girl, for that matter, could have such a side to her.
Confused? Yes, he did. He didn’t understand why the usually shy Hinata had become like this. Were parallel worlds really that different?
Was he… scared? It didn’t seem like it. The “Hinata” on the screen looked powerful, but it didn’t frighten him.
So…what is it?
Just when his mind was in a mess and he had no idea how to express his complicated and chaotic emotions at the moment, he almost unconsciously stammered, mumbling something in a low voice that only he and a few people around him could hear:
“T-that…Hina-Hinata…w-wow…so amazing…”
He spoke this sentence in a vague and intermittent manner, and his voice was so small that it seemed as if it was squeezed out from between his teeth.
He himself may not be fully aware of what he said, nor the complex emotions contained in his words.
He said “awesome” perhaps because the “Hinata” on the screen, whether it was her clothes, eyes, or that kind of… bold behavior, was far beyond his comprehension, making him feel an unprecedented visual impact and spiritual shock.
He had never seen such a “relaxed” girl, nor had he ever seen a girl who could display that kind of…that kind of indescribable “charm” so vividly.
This was indeed an unprecedented “amazing” thing for him.
However, in this unconscious “awesome”, besides pure shock and admiration, is there also a hint of… a subtle, even unconscious… attraction?
That kind of appreciation and excitement for a certain unique charm of the opposite sex that comes from male instinct?
I’m afraid that even Uzumaki Naruto himself can’t explain it clearly at this moment.
He just felt that the “Hinata” on the screen, although completely different from the Hinata he remembered, and although it looked a little… well… “strange”, but… but for some reason, he couldn’t take his eyes off her.
His heartbeat became uncontrollable because of her every smile, every move.
This feeling was something he had never experienced before.
It was very strange, very strange, and also made him… a little flustered and a little overwhelmed.
Although his voice was not loud, in this relatively noisy environment, it was loud enough for Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke (if he was also paying attention to Naruto at the moment) who were standing not far from him to hear it clearly.
Haruno Sakura’s eyebrows barely register as she heard Naruto’s almost dreamy mumbling. She glanced in surprise at the blond boy beside her, whose face was as red as a monkey’s butt. A complex, incomprehensible glint flashed in her eyes. She seemed about to say something, but ultimately curled her lips and remained silent.
And if Uchiha Sasuke had heard it, he would probably just snort in disdain, and then continue to look at everything on the screen with his cold and scrutinizing eyes, as well as the “boring guys” around him who lost their composure because of a woman’s behavior.
He would never be like Naruto, the idiot, who would blush, have a pounding heart, and speak incoherently because of such a thing.
But… the woman on the screen was indeed… a little beyond his expectations.
Uzumaki Naruto’s almost unconscious mumbling with a bit of stuttering, blushing and heartbeat – “That, that Hinata… so, so amazing…”, although the voice was not loud, but Sakura Haruno and Yamanaka Ino who were not far from him, the two girls who were extremely sensitive to sounds and details, still caught it keenly.
Sakura and Ino were also in a state of shock and indescribable confusion due to the shocking “provocative eye-rolling” of the “Hinata from the parallel world” on the screen. Their attention was almost completely absorbed by the content on the screen.
However, when Naruto’s mumbling voice, which was a bit stupid and blushing, reached their ears like the hum of a mosquito, the two girls were both startled at the same time.
Chapter 26 is… Naruto-kun’s voice! (Old version)
Almost subconsciously, they turned their heads at the same time and cast their gazes towards the source of the sound – the blond boy who was always noisy and thick-skinned, but now had a face as red as a monkey’s butt and his eyes were a little erratic.
Seeing Naruto’s unprecedented look, which was a bit foolish and embarrassing like a pure boy in love, Sakura and Ino looked at each other again without any prior agreement.
They both saw a hint of… mischief and understanding in each other’s eyes, which were also filled with surprise.
Yamanaka Ino’s reaction was faster and more direct.
Her beautiful big aqua blue eyes rolled around Naruto’s flushed cheeks, and the corners of her mouth lifted up uncontrollably, revealing a smirk that was a bit teasing and mocking.
She stretched out her fair elbow and gently nudged the waist of Sakura, who was still in a daze beside her. Then, she lowered her voice, speaking in a tone that only the two of them could hear, with a hint of gloating, and whispered:
“Hey, Sakura, look at Naruto’s silly face! Tsk tsk tsk, his face is completely red! Like a boiled crab! I never thought that this idiot would have such a day!”
As Ino spoke, she pouted in Naruto’s direction, her eyes full of anticipation for a good show.
She felt that Naruto’s innocent yet somewhat lustful appearance at the moment was even more interesting to her than the “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen.
After all, it was usually Naruto who made them angry or said some inappropriate words that left them speechless. It was rare to see him lose his composure like this because of a girl, so Ino naturally would not miss this good opportunity to “ridicule” him.
Haruno Sakura came back to her senses after being poked by Ino.
She followed Ino’s gaze and glanced at Naruto’s embarrassed look again, and couldn’t help but let a smile flash across her emerald eyes.
Indeed, Naruto’s appearance at this moment is far from his usual fearless and carefree image of the “No. 1 ninja in terms of unexpectedness”.
The flushed cheeks, the wandering eyes, and the stuttering whispers are all like the innocent reactions of a young boy who has just fallen in love, after seeing his beloved goddess do something shocking, and he is at a loss what to do.
Sakura couldn’t help but laugh.
She even wondered what Konohamaru and the others would think if they saw Naruto looking so cowardly at this moment.
However, compared to teasing Naruto, Sakura was more shocked and shocked by the “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen.
She looked at the charming and seductive figure on the screen, and then thought of Hinata Hyuga who always hid timidly behind the crowd and didn’t even dare to speak loudly. A strong sense of absurdity and unreality still lingered in her heart.
Is this… is this really the same person?
Even if it is a parallel world, the contrast is too great!
Therefore, although Sakura also found Naruto’s reaction very interesting, she did not show it as obviously as Ino. She just raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and quickly turned her attention back to the screen, and… the real Hinata Hyuga who had fainted from shame not far away.
In her heart, there was a barely perceptible sympathy for Hinata.
(The scene switches to Hinata in reality. According to Zhang Gang’s request, it is assumed here that Hinata is still slightly conscious and can hear Naruto’s comments.)
However, just as Inuzuka Kiba and Aburame Shino were calling out anxiously, trying to pull Hyuga Hinata, who was already on the verge of coma, back from the darkness—
Perhaps it was the instinct for survival, or perhaps it was the unremitting calls of his companions that played a role.
Hinata’s consciousness, which had originally sunk completely into darkness, swayed faintly again like a candle in the wind, barely regaining a trace of… extremely weak clarity.
Her eyelids felt heavy as if they were filled with lead, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t open them.
Her body was still cold and stiff, trembling slightly uncontrollably.
In my ears, all kinds of noisy sounds – the clamor in the square, the calls of my companions, and the sound that might still be playing on that damn screen – seemed to be covered by a thick layer of cotton, blurry and unreal.
But in this chaos, a familiar voice, a voice that she had been silently paying attention to and caring deeply about, seemed to penetrate layers of fog and reach her ears with a strange clarity.
It’s…Naruto-kun’s voice!
When this vague, stuttering, blushing, and heart-pounding evaluation penetrated into Hinata’s remaining clear consciousness like a spell—
Her nerves, which were already on the verge of collapse due to extreme shame and anger, seemed to be completely crushed by the last straw!
“boom–!!!”
She felt like a real bomb was thrown into her brain, and it instantly exploded into powder!
All rationality, all persistence, all… everything, completely collapsed at this moment!
If the various shameful performances of the “self” on the screen before made her feel endless shame and despair, then at this moment, this “evaluation” from the person she cared about most – Uzumaki Naruto, was like the sharpest knife, piercing her already broken heart fiercely and accurately, and then cruelly turning several times!
Wow… so awesome?!
Naruto-kun… actually used the word “awesome” to describe that shameless, unruly “self” on the screen?!
Doesn’t he… doesn’t he find that “himself” disgusting? Doesn’t he find that “himself” vulgar? Doesn’t he find that “himself” shameful?!
He actually…actually thought that “himself” in that state was… “awesome”?!
For Hinata, this is a double blow that is more cruel than any torture!
The first blow is that your worst side (even if it is in a parallel world) is seen by the person you care about the most.
The second blow was that the person she cared about the most actually gave such an “evaluation” about this side…which she could not understand or accept!
At that moment, Hinata only felt a strong, uncontrollable feeling of nausea and dizziness, which hit her again like a tidal wave, more violent than any previous time, and more unbearable for her!
She felt as if all her internal organs were out of place, her stomach was churning, and she almost vomited bile.
Chapter 27: “The Heartthrob” Part 1!! (Old Version)
The darkness before her eyes grew deeper and thicker, as if it would completely devour her and leave her with no hope of escape.
“No…don’t…Naruto-kun…don’t look…please…don’t…”
She let out a desperate, silent wail in her heart, and tears flowed out from the corners of her tightly closed eyes like a flood.
She couldn’t…couldn’t hold on any longer.
The trace of clear consciousness that had been finally restored was instantly extinguished like a candle in the wind under this devastating double blow.
Her body completely lost all strength and fell backwards limply.
This time, she really, completely fainted.
Before she passed out, the last thought in her mind was – if there was a crack in the ground, she would rather crawl into it immediately, never come out to see Naruto-kun again, and never face this cruel world again.
Haruno Sakura widened her beautiful emerald green eyes, her pupils slightly contracted due to extreme shock. She stared at the charming and seductive “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen without blinking, and subconsciously turned her head to look at the real Hinata Hyuga who was held in the arms of Inuzuka Kiba not far away, completely unconscious, with a face as pale as paper.
Two completely different images kept appearing alternately in her mind, creating a strong visual impact and cognitive dislocation.
She felt as if her brain was forced into a bunch of contradictory information, and she was having trouble understanding it.
In Haruno Sakura’s impression, Hyuga Hinata has always been… a very shy, very introverted, and even a little timid girl.
She always spoke in a soft voice, as if she was afraid of disturbing the dust in the air.
She always walked with her head down, her eyes always dodging, not daring to look people in the eye.
When she gets nervous, she will poke her two index fingers together, and her cheeks will turn as red as ripe apples.
She is kind, pure, and hardworking, but also… a little weak, lacking in self-confidence, and always giving people the impression that she needs to be protected.
Sakura always thought that her understanding of Hinata Hyuga, although not particularly in-depth, was pretty good.
She thought that Hinata was the typical little girl who needed care and was like a greenhouse flower.
However, at this moment, the “Hinata from the parallel world” on the screen completely overturned all her previous cognition with a thunderous force!
That figure wearing a bold and revealing dark purple modified kimono that was almost naked!
That expression with blurred and lazy eyes, a sly smile on the corners of his mouth, full of extreme temptation and provocation!
That…that shocking, “charming” eye-rolling gesture!
Is this… is this really Hyuga Hinata? !
Even if it’s a parallel world, the contrast is too great, isn’t it?!
This was even more unbelievable to her than believing that Naruto would become Hokage tomorrow!
Haruno Sakura felt that her cognition was facing an unprecedented challenge at this moment.
She always thought that a girl’s charm should be like Ino’s, bright, outgoing, confident and generous.
Or like herself (although she may not realize it), strong and hardworking, with a bit of unyielding tenacity.
She had never thought that a girl could show such… such boldness, such seductiveness, such… aggressiveness!
This strong contrast and this subversion of cognition made it difficult for her to digest for a while.
She looked at the “Hinata” on the screen, whose every move exuded fatal temptation, and then looked at the weak Hinata in reality who fainted because of shame and anger, and her heart was filled with complex and inexplicable emotions.
There was shock, astonishment, disbelief, and also a hint of…an indescribable…strange feeling.
She began to realize that perhaps everyone, in different worlds and different environments, could show a completely different side of themselves.
This so-called “Inventory of Succubi in Parallel Worlds” seems to be intended to dig out the side of them that is usually hidden the deepest, or in other words, the side that they themselves have never realized, and make it public nakedly and cruelly.
This made her feel a little… uneasy involuntarily.
Unlike Haruno Sakura, whose cognition was greatly challenged, after experiencing the initial shock, what emerged in Yamanaka Ino’s heart was more of a kind of… subtle scrutiny and comparison unique to women.
As one of the recognized “heartthrobs” in Konoha Village, Yamanaka Ino has always been quite confident about her appearance, figure, and personal charm.
She likes to dress up, likes to be the center of attention, and is used to the admiring looks of the boys around her, whether overt or covert.
She thinks she is beautiful, sexy and charming.
However, when she saw the “charm” displayed by the “Hinata from the parallel world” on the screen, her deep-rooted confidence was shaken for the first time.
The charm of the “Hinata” on the screen and the charm of her Yamanaka Ino are two completely different types.
Ino’s charm is more of the brightness and publicity of a young girl, with a bit of the cuteness and confidence of a little girl. Although she is a little sexy, overall, she is still relatively sunny and healthy.
However, the “charm” displayed by the “Hinata” on the screen is a more… more mature, more direct, more aggressive, and even has a bit of… decadence and danger.
That kind of charm is fatal. It can easily capture a man’s soul and make women feel palpitations and jealous when they see it.
Especially the “provocative eye-rolling” action, which brings the feeling of “pure desire intertwined” and “natural charm” to the extreme!
Yamanaka Ino couldn’t help but start comparing herself with the “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen.
In terms of appearance, she didn’t think she was worse than Hinata. In some aspects, she even felt that she was more refined.
As for her figure, she is quite satisfied with her curvy figure.
But… that kind of… that kind of “charm” that emanates from every gesture, almost instinctively, the ultimate…
Ino had to admit that she seemed to… have lost.
Moreover, the defeat was quite complete.
She found that she could not imagine herself dressing as boldly as the “Hinata” on the screen, making such revealing expressions, or making such… seductive movements.
That requires a kind of… a kind of “talent” that she does not possess, or rather, a “talent” that she has always despised and rejected.
Chapter 28: Her speed is amazing! (Old version)
This realization created an extremely subtle feeling in Yamanaka Ino’s heart, a mixture of jealousy, unwillingness, and a hint of… an inexplicable sense of crisis and competition.
For the first time, she felt such a strong “threat” from a same-sex person.
Even if the other party is just a “being in a parallel world”.
Just as Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino were each immersed in different shocks and complicated thoughts, their eyes, almost at the same time, met again without any prior agreement.
No further explanation needed.
Just a glance, and they understood the turbulent waves in each other’s hearts from each other’s eyes which were also filled with shock, astonishment, and disbelief.
They saw the confusion in each other’s eyes – why did the usually shy and introverted Hinata have such a seductive side?
They saw the shock in each other’s eyes – it turns out that a woman’s charm can be displayed in such a bold and direct way!
They also saw a hint of…uneasiness and vigilance in each other’s eyes.
They began to realize that this so-called “Inventory of Succubi in Parallel Worlds” was probably more than just a simple “prank” or “accident.”
It is more like a mirror… a magic mirror that can reflect the deepest part of a person’s heart, or in other words, another “self” in a parallel world.
And this magic mirror will probably completely overturn their perception of many female companions around them.
Even… themselves.
This silent communication allowed the two girls, who had some minor frictions in their daily lives but always stood together at critical moments, to reach a strange tacit understanding at this moment.
They all had a premonition that the following “inventory” would probably be more… beyond their imagination.
(Screen switch: Hinata in this world uses soft fists, her movements are gentle but deadly, and she leaves a kiss after defeating the enemy.)
Just as everyone in the square was thrown into chaos and uproar by the shocking scene of “provocative eye-rolling” from before, just as Hinata Hyuga in reality completely fainted because she could not bear the huge humiliation and shock –
The picture on the screen switched again without any warning!
The room with ambiguous lighting and charming atmosphere disappeared.
The tall, faceless male figure also disappeared.
Instead, there was a scene that looked like some kind of…underground fighting arena, or secret training ground.
The lighting in the scene was still a little dim, but it was brighter than the previous room, enough for people to see the surrounding environment clearly.
In the center of the venue is an open area with some kind of hard stone slabs on the ground. Surrounding it are some rough stone pillars and metal fences. Some blurry human figures can be vaguely seen, seemingly onlookers.
The entire scene was filled with a solemn, oppressive, and… bloody atmosphere.
And the “Hinata from the parallel world” wearing a dark purple modified kimono was standing in the center of the venue.
The dazed and lazy expression on her face was gone, and instead, there was a look that was a bit cold and focused, yet still charming.
Her white eyes were still open, with veins bulging at the corners of her eyes, but in those pure white eyes, there was a light as sharp as a cold star.
Opposite her stood several ferocious-looking and powerful… enemies.
Some of those enemies were tall and strong with strong muscles, holding huge weapons in their hands.
Some of them had strange figures and exuded a dangerous aura, and were obviously some kind of ninja who were good at assassination or special ninjutsu.
There are at least three to five of them, and judging from the chakra fluctuations emanating from them, each of them is no pushover.
However, facing these seemingly vicious enemies, the “Hinata from the parallel world” on the screen did not show any tension or fear at all.
The corners of her mouth even lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile that was a bit bloodthirsty and confident.
It seemed as if these enemies before her were nothing more than some pitiful prey that were about to be played with in her hands.
The next second, the battle breaks out!
I saw that “Hinata from the parallel world” suddenly disappeared from the spot like a ghost!
Her speed is astonishing!
Many ninjas who were approaching the screen could only catch a blurry purple afterimage!
Then, like a fluttering butterfly, she moved nimbly and lethally between the enemies.
What she used was the soft fist that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Hyuga clan, which was to overcome hardness with softness and press acupoints to cut off meridians!
The soft fist she displayed was completely different from the soft fist displayed by Hyuga Neji, or in other words, from the soft fist displayed by any Hyuga clan member in reality!
Every movement of hers is filled with the ultimate… tenderness and temptation!
Her body, like the softest vine, twisted, stretched, and rotated at all kinds of incredible angles.
Every palm strike, every acupuncture point press, is like dancing a dance full of deadly temptation.
Her waist twisted flexibly like a water snake, showing off her exquisite figure and perfect curves that made people’s blood boil.
The dark purple modified kimono seemed to come alive under her violent movements, with the sleeves fluttering and the skirt floating, revealing her snow-white, slender legs and… an even more imaginative scenery.
She always had that confident and charming smile on her face, and her eyes were full of playfulness and teasing.
It seemed as if this life-and-death struggle was nothing more than a “game” full of fun to her.
However, in sharp contrast to her soft and seductive movements were her deadly, ruthless attacks!
Every time she strikes out with her palm, she hits the vital points of the enemy’s body with incredible precision!
“Soft Fist Technique: Eight Diagrams Sixty-Four Palms!”
All I heard was a clear and pleasant cry, but one that was also filled with a hint of cold murderous intent!
Her hands turned into countless blurry palm shadows, covering one of the enemies like a violent storm!
“Two palms! Four palms! Eight palms! Sixteen palms! Thirty-two palms! Sixty-four palms—!!!”
As she continued to read out numbers, the enemy she had locked onto let out a shrill scream, and his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, with blood gushing out of his mouth. It was obvious that he had suffered a fatal blow!
Then, she turned around and appeared behind another enemy like a ghost!
Chapter 29: The little girl is pretty! ! (Old version)
The enemy obviously realized the danger, turned around suddenly, swung the huge axe in his hand, and chopped at her fiercely!
However, the “Hinata from the parallel world” just raised the corners of his mouth slightly and revealed a disdainful smile.
Her body, with a soft posture that is unimaginable for ordinary people, narrowly avoided the powerful axe. At the same time, her right index finger and middle finger came together, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, and struck the tendon of the enemy’s axe-holding arm with lightning speed!
“Click!” A soft sound!
The enemy groaned, and the huge axe in his hand suddenly fell out of his hand, and his entire arm hung down limply, obviously it had been disabled!
The battle proceeded rapidly in an atmosphere filled with strange tenderness and blood.
The “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen is like a fairy dancing on the edge of a knife. Her every move is breathtakingly beautiful, yet full of deadly danger.
Her soft fist is no longer a simple physical technique, but more like a unique “art” that combines extreme temptation and deadly murderous intent.
Soon, all the enemies on the field were knocked to the ground one by one by her in an almost playful manner, and their life or death was unknown.
When the last enemy, with a face full of fear and unwillingness, fell at her feet——
The “Hinata from the parallel world” on the screen slowly straightened up.
Her chest was heaving slightly due to the intense fight just now, and a fine layer of sweat seeped out of her forehead, making her already charming face even more indescribably sexy.
She extended the tip of her pink tongue and gently licked her lips, which seemed a little dry due to excitement. The corners of her mouth once again curled up into a smirk with a bit of laziness and satisfaction.
Then, she turned around, facing the camera (or rather, facing the onlookers hidden in the dark), and made a move that once again made the blood of all the male ninjas in the square surge, and made all the female ninjas stunned once again –
She stretched out two slender white fingers, gently placed them on her rosy lips, and then blew a kiss…full of charm and provocation…towards the camera!
“Bo~”
It seemed as if I could hear a soft sound like that.
That flying kiss, with its fatal temptation, penetrated the screen and accurately hit the heart of every viewer.
Just as everyone in the square was thrown into chaos and uproar again because of the charming and provocative kiss that the “Hinata from the parallel world” blew towards the camera after winning the battle –
The image on the screen, as if controlled by an invisible hand, switched again without any warning!
This time, the scene was no longer the room full of ambiguity, nor was it the bloody and murderous underground fighting arena.
Instead, it looked like… a training ground that was common in Konoha Village and was used for daily ninja training and exercises.
The environment of the training ground is relatively open and bright.
The ground was flat dirt, with a few wooden stakes used for training sparsely standing around it. In the distance, some low bushes and simulated obstacles could be seen.
Sunlight (although the source of the light on the screen is unknown, it gives the feeling of daytime sunlight) shines down from above, bathing the entire training ground in relatively normal light.
And the “Hinata from the parallel world” wearing a dark purple modified kimono was standing in the center of the training ground.
Her face no longer had the coldness and bloodthirstiness she had in the underground fighting arena, nor did it have the confusion and laziness she had in the ambiguous room.
Instead, there was an expression that was somewhat relaxed, somewhat confident, and yet also had a subtle hint of eagerness to try.
It seemed as if what was about to take place was not a life-and-death battle, but rather an easy “performance” that she had already secured victory.
Opposite her, there were also several enemies standing.
The number of these enemies is about three to four.
Their attire made them look like wandering ninjas or members of a small, underdog organization. Judging from the chakra fluctuations emanating from them, their strength was considered decent, at least at the level of a Chunin, but it was still inferior to the vicious criminals they had encountered in the underground fighting arena.
Their faces all had an expression of vigilance, contempt and lewdness. Obviously, they were also attracted by the “Hinata” in front of them who was dressed boldly and had a beautiful appearance. At the same time, they also thought that she might be just a vase that was good-looking but useless.
“Little girl, you are pretty, but I wonder how capable you are?” One of the bearded men who looked like the leader teased “Hinata” on the screen in a vulgar tone, his eyes full of undisguised desire.
Facing the provocation and malicious gazes of these enemies, the “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen just raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing an unfathomable smile.
She didn’t immediately open her mouth to refute, nor did she show any anger or nervousness.
She just slowly raised her hands and made a… starting posture of the Hyuga clan’s soft fist in front of her chest!
Yes, the starting move of soft fist!
Stand with your feet slightly apart, shoulder-width apart, lower your body’s center of gravity, and place your hands one in front of the other, palms facing each other, in front of your chest.
This is a standard, unquestionable preparatory posture for Hyuga Ryuuken!
However!
When the ninjas in the square who were familiar with the Gentle Fist, especially the members of the Hyuga clan, saw the “Hinata” making the Gentle Fist starting posture on the screen, their brows all furrowed tightly in unison once again!
Because they keenly discovered that the starting posture of this “Hinata”, although the framework of the moves was the same as the traditional soft fist, but in some subtle movements and expressions, it was full of… an indescribable, deliberate “gentleness” and “rhythm”!
The traditional Hyuga Ryujuquan emphasizes the combination of hardness and softness, and is restrained and steady.
When starting, one must keep his mind calm, focus on Dantian, and concentrate all the chakra and spirit in the body to be fully prepared for the next battle.
The whole person’s posture should be as steady as a mountain and as still as a pine tree, with eyes full of determination and concentration.
However, the “Hinata from the parallel world” on the screen shows a completely different style!
Although her body maintained the basic framework of the soft fist starting posture, it was not rigid and steady. Instead, it had a slight swaying feeling… like a willow in the wind.
Chapter 30 “Poof!” (Old Version)
Her waist seemed to twist slightly inadvertently, forming an extremely seductive curve.
Although her hands were also protected in front of her chest, her fingertips were slightly upturned, with a bit of the charm of orchid fingers.
Although her eyes were also fixed on the enemy in front of her, there was no tension or seriousness before the battle. Instead, they were filled with a confident smile and a hint of… subtle teasing.
She just stood there quietly, making the opening moves of a soft fist, but it seemed like she was performing the opening moves of a…dangerous and seductive dance.
It seemed as if what was about to take place was not a life-and-death battle, but a “performance” full of sensory stimulation, led by her.
This way of displaying the sacred and solemn soft fist of the Hyuga clan combined with such a “gentle” and “frivolous” posture made many Hyuga clan members present feel a sense of discomfort and…anger from the bottom of their hearts!
When the battle horn sounded (although there was no actual horn sound, the atmosphere was already set), the battle between the “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen and those enemies who were obviously not good people, officially began!
I saw that “Hinata” who was wearing a dark purple modified kimono, at the moment when the enemy launched the first attack, her figure was like a ghost, instead of retreating, she advanced and took the initiative to meet the enemy!
Her figure quickly shuttled, dodged, and wandered across the training ground, leaving behind a series of dazzling purple afterimages.
Every movement she makes is filled with extreme flexibility and coordination, as if she has no bones in her body and can make all kinds of twists and stretches that are unimaginable for ordinary people.
Every time she strikes a palm and every time she presses an acupoint, it is not the vigorous, fierce and direct style of traditional soft boxing.
But it carries a kind of… a kind of meaning that makes people’s hearts flutter and their souls captivate!
Her waist, like the most flexible water snake, kept twisting and swaying during the battle. Every twist perfectly showed off her exquisite and perfect curves, as well as the snow-white skin that was faintly visible under the boldly modified kimono.
Her body’s flexibility was brought to the extreme at this moment!
Sometimes she flew over the enemy’s head like a light swallow, and sometimes she slipped under the enemy’s crotch like a cunning civet cat.
Each of her dodging movements was like a dance full of temptation and provocation, causing those originally ferocious enemies to be involuntarily attracted by her enchanting figure and charming movements, and their minds were in a trance for a moment.
And at the moment when the enemy was confused by her enchanting dance-like movements——
Her seemingly soft and boneless hands would be like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, hitting the most vulnerable and deadly acupuncture points on the enemy’s body with lightning speed and incredible precision!
Several clear close-up shots were given on the screen.
An enemy was waving a long sword in his hand, and with a whistling sound, he chopped it down towards Hinata’s head!
The sharp blade was about to fall on her, but at that critical moment, the “Hinata” just raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a confident and charming smile.
Her body leaned back at an incredible angle, her entire upper body almost parallel to the ground, narrowly avoiding the fatal knife!
At the same time, her right hand, as if without bones, stretched out from an extremely tricky angle, and her index finger and middle finger were put together, and she quickly tapped the “Yangchi Point” on the wrist of the enemy holding the knife!
“ah–!”
The enemy let out a shrill scream, and the long sword in his hand suddenly flew out of his hand. His entire arm twitched violently as if he had been electrocuted, and he lost all his strength in an instant!
Another enemy tried to attack her from the side. He held two sharp daggers in his hands and stabbed at her waist like a poisonous snake!
However, the “Hinata from the parallel world” seemed to have eyes on her back. She didn’t even look back, but just slightly turned her body to cleverly avoid the two deadly daggers.
At the same time, her left leg swung upward like a whip, and her slender legs exposed by the short kimono drew a graceful arc in the air. Then, her small and delicate toes, with incredible precision, touched the “Tan Zhong Point” on the enemy’s chest!
“puff–!”
The enemy was hit hard and spurted out a mouthful of blood. It was as if all the strength in his body was drained away. He collapsed to the ground, unable to move anymore!
The battle proceeded in an orderly manner in an atmosphere full of strange tenderness and blood.
The “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen is like a fairy dancing on the edge of a knife. Her every move is breathtakingly beautiful and full of deadly temptation, yet each move is deadly, cruel and ruthless!
Her soft fist is no longer just a simple physical skill, but more like a kind of… a unique “art of killing” that perfectly combines the ultimate temptation with deadly murderous intent!
The enemy is often bewildered by her enchanting figure and charming movements. The moment their minds become dazed, they will be hit by her acupuncture points with incredible precision. In an illusion that is almost enjoyable, they will fall down powerlessly, lose their combat ability, and even… lose their lives!
This fighting style is undoubtedly an unprecedented visual impact and cognitive subversion for the audience in the square who are accustomed to traditional ninja battles!
When the soft fist that the Hyuga clan was so proud of was used on the screen by that “Hinata of the parallel world” in such a “frivolous”, “gentle”, and even somewhat “obscene” way, and also displayed such astonishing lethality——
The expressions of Hyuga Hiashi, Hyuga Neji and others were so ugly that they could not be described in words.
Hinata Hiashi’s body was shaking violently due to extreme anger and humiliation. His bloodshot eyes were fixed on the figure on the screen who was twisting his body like a fairy and knocking down the enemies one by one with his “soft fist”. His teeth were clattering, and he almost broke all the steel teeth!
It was as if there was a volcano in his chest that was about to erupt, madly accumulating energy!
“Defilement! This is simply desecrating the sacred soft fist of my Hyuga clan!” Hyuga Hiashi roared silently in his heart.
In his opinion, the Gentle Fist is the noblest, most exquisite and most deadly physical technique passed down by the ancestors of the Hyuga clan!
It represents the glory of the Hyuga clan, represents the dignity of the Hyuga clan, and represents the martial arts spirit of the Hyuga clan!
The essence of soft fist lies in the combination of hardness and softness, in acupuncture and meridian cutting, in overcoming hardness with softness, and in the ultimate control of chakra!
Chapter 31 “Wow! So handsome! So sexy!” (Old version)
It should be solemn, dignified and sacred!
It should never be allowed! It is absolutely not allowed! Any impure, frivolous, or even obscene actions or meanings!
In his opinion, the “soft fist” displayed by the “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen was not the real soft fist at all!
That’s just sorcery disguised as a gentle fist… It’s a devilish and perverse way designed to deceive people and seduce them!
This is the most thorough desecration of the essence of the Soft Fist! It is the greatest disrespect to the ancestors of the Hyuga clan!
Hyuga Neji’s expression was just as gloomy as if water could drip out of it.
He pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes, which always carried a sense of arrogance and coldness, were now slightly narrowed due to anger and discomfort, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
He looked at the “Hinata” on the screen, who was using movements that he had never imagined, full of tenderness and temptation, and performing the soft fist techniques that originated from the same source as his, to play with the enemies in the palm of his hand. In his heart, an indescribable feeling of nausea and… shame surged.
He felt that the woman on the screen was using the most obscene way to desecrate the martial arts that the Hyuga clan was proud of!
If possible, he would like to rush into the screen immediately and use his most orthodox and powerful soft fist to completely defeat that shameless “witch” and let her know what the real Hyuga style soft fist is!
However, unlike the staunch “traditionalists” such as Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Neji, some of the younger generation of Hyuga clan members present felt a slight… barely perceptible wavering in their hearts when they saw the “new form of soft fist” displayed by the “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen.
They have received the most rigorous soft fist training since childhood and are well aware of the profoundness and powerful power of soft fist.
However, they also knew how boring and difficult the practice of soft fist was.
Moreover, in actual combat, although the soft fist is powerful, it is not invincible.
At this moment, when they saw that “Hinata” on the screen could perfectly combine the soft fist with that…that kind of tempting and confusing action, and could also show such amazing combat effects, they couldn’t help but have some…other thoughts in their hearts.
“So…Soft Fist…can it be used like this?”
“Her movements…although they seem…strange…but…it seems…to be really powerful…”
“Those enemies… simply couldn’t concentrate on fighting her… and were knocked down in an instant…”
These young Hyuga clan members were dazzled and excited.
On the one hand, they felt that the actions of “Hinata” on the screen were indeed a bit…indecent and not in line with the traditions of the Hyuga clan.
But on the other hand, they had to admit that the fighting style that perfectly combined “charm” and “murderous intent” seemed… indeed very effective, even… cool?
This contradictory mentality makes them feel a little confused and bewildered.
They don’t know whether they should stick to the family tradition or try something new?
Just as the Hyuga clan was experiencing intense ideological clashes and emotional fluctuations due to the “new form” of the gentle fist, the battle on the screen was nearing its end.
The “Hinata from the parallel world” wearing a dark purple modified kimono, easily knocked down all the enemies on the training ground one by one like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, making them completely lose their combat capability.
The whole process is smooth and full of violent aesthetics and…extreme temptation.
When the last enemy, with a face full of fear and unwillingness, collapsed helplessly at her feet——
The “Hinata from the parallel world” on the screen slowly straightened up and stood gracefully in the center of the training ground.
Her chest rose and fell slightly because of the battle that was not intense but quite exhausting, causing the boldly modified kimono to sway gently, adding a touch of moving rhythm.
A fine layer of sweat seeped out of her forehead, and a few strands of dark blue hair soaked with sweat stuck playfully to her smooth cheeks, making her already charming face even more sexy and…real.
She casually raised her hand and gently lifted the hair that fell to her cheek with her slender white fingers, and put them behind her ears, revealing her small and delicate earlobes with a pink sheen.
This unintentional action, in the eyes of some people, is full of indescribable charm.
Then, she turned, her gaze seemingly penetrating the screen, fixed on… a certain direction. (That direction could be the camera, or perhaps a mysterious, unseen character watching the battle from the training grounds.)
On her face, there was a confident and assertive smile that was full of joy of victory and a hint of provocation.
That smile formed a sharp contrast with her usual shy and introverted image, making her exude a radiant and powerful aura that could not be ignored.
Then, just when everyone thought she would say something or make some other move——
She stretched out two slender white fingers, put her index finger and middle finger together, and gently and gracefully placed them on her rosy and plump lips, which still had a hint of the residual warmth from the battle.
Then, he blew a kiss in that direction… one that was full of charm and teasing, and had a bit of a victorious attitude!
Although no sound could be heard, everyone seemed to automatically imagine a slight sound in their minds.
That flying kiss, with its fatal temptation, the joy of victory, and a hint of devilish provocation, pierced through the screen again like the most accurate arrow, hitting the heart of every viewer in the square fiercely and accurately!
The appearance of this flying kiss was like pouring a large bucket of cold water into the frying pan that was already boiling hot due to the previous “provocative eye-rolling”!
The entire square was instantly seething again! It was louder and more out of control than ever before!
Those young ninjas, especially the male ninjas, were so excited when they saw this flying kiss full of victory and provocation that they screamed and made all kinds of strange noises and whistles full of hormones!
“Wow–!!! So handsome! So sexy!”
Chapter 32: Ruining the family lintel——!!! (Old version)
“Hinata-sama! I love you–!!!” (Although they were calling out to the real Hinata, at this moment, they had obviously confused the image on the screen with the real Hinata, and had a certain degree of… beautiful fantasy.)
“This… this is the real goddess!”
Their faces were flushed with excessive excitement, and their eyes were filled with fanaticism and admiration (as well as a hint of unhealthy desire).
Most of the female ninjas once again showed expressions of contempt, disdain, and even a bit of shame and anger.
“Hmph! I won the fight, so I won! Is it necessary to do such… such shameless actions?!”
“That’s right! She’s just being a bitch! A vixen!”
They feel that the “Hinata” on the screen has the word “flirtatious” engraved in her bones, and exudes that uncomfortable “charm” all the time.
Amidst this chaotic clamor, several high-ranking figures of Konoha Village showed completely different reactions.
When the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, saw that blown kiss, a complex, inexplicable light flashed in his old eyes. He took a drag from his pipe, slowly blowing out smoke rings. He said nothing, but the solemn expression between his brows deepened.
He began to realize that the impact of this so-called “Inventory of Succubi in Parallel Worlds” was probably far beyond his expectations.
And if Tsunade were present at this moment, her plump red lips would probably be curled up into a playful smile.
She touched her smooth chin and looked at the “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen with interest, who was full of confidence and provocation, with admiration flashing in her eyes.
She might even feel that Hinata in this parallel world, in some aspects, seems… a bit like her when she was young?
Of course, Tsunade’s style is heroic and domineering, while Hinata’s is charming and seductive. There is an essential difference between the two.
But that kind of… spirit of daring to challenge tradition and daring to express oneself seems to be a little similar.
As for the elders of the Hyuga clan, they were now in a state of complete collective collapse and rage.
“How shameful! How shameful!!”
A Hyuga elder with white hair and beard could no longer suppress the anger and humiliation in his heart. He used all his strength to roar in grief and anger. His voice became hoarse and sharp due to excessive excitement, and was filled with endless despair and sadness.
His body was shaking violently due to extreme anger, as if he could die at any time.
“My Hyuga clan has been clean for generations! We have built our reputation on martial arts! How could we ever produce such people… such shameless people who use sex to entertain others! This is simply… simply a great shame! A great shame–!!!”
His roar seemed so pale and powerless in the noisy square, and was soon drowned out by the louder noise filled with various complex emotions.
At this moment, the glory and dignity of the Hyuga clan seemed to be truly… shattered beyond repair.
When the “Hinata from the parallel world” on the screen, after easily defeating all the enemies, blew a kiss full of victory and extreme provocation, once again igniting the atmosphere of the entire square, making the young ninjas crazy, the adult ninjas have different thoughts, and the Hyuga clan is completely on the verge of collapse –
The members of the Hyuga Elders, these old guys who are usually high and mighty and who care the most about the family’s reputation and rules, are finally unable to maintain even a little bit of calmness and rationality!
They were like powder kegs with the fuse lit, one after another, exploding completely!
A white-haired elder, the oldest, most experienced, and usually the most stern and strict among the elders, no longer cared about his elderly demeanor or his expressionless expression. He pointed a finger, trembling violently with extreme anger, at the smiling, charming figure on the screen. His wrinkled face was swollen like pig liver with congestion, and the veins on his neck bulged out like twisted earthworms.
His voice, due to excessive excitement and anger, became hoarse and sharp, almost breaking:
“This… this is completely immoral! This is a disgrace to our family!!”
He beat his chest and stamped his feet, feeling heartbroken, as if he saw the Hyuga clan’s century-long reputation being completely tarnished and destroyed at this moment.
“The daughter of the Hyuga family! The daughter of the head of the Hyuga clan! How could…how could she be so shameless! So…so despicable!”
His pair of pure white eyes were now bloodshot due to anger, and his eyeballs were bulging, as if they were about to spew out raging flames and completely burn the “monster” on the screen!
His body was on the verge of collapse because he could not withstand the huge stimulation one after another. If he had not been supported in time by the tribesmen beside him, he would have followed the same fate as the elder who vomited blood before and died on the spot.
“That’s right! This is outrageous! This is outrageous!”
“The reputation of my Hyuga clan has been completely disgraced by this… this unfilial woman!”
“This… How can we gain a foothold in Konoha in the future? How can we survive in the ninja world?”
The other elders, as if a fuse had been lit, echoed with righteous indignation.
Their voices were louder and more sorrowful than the other, and more filled with condemnation and disgust towards the “Hinata from the parallel world” on the screen.
They used the most vicious and unbearable words they could think of to describe the “immoral”, “shameless” and “witch” on the screen.
It seemed that only in this way could they vent the anger and humiliation in their hearts that were almost about to explode.
After denouncing the “culprit” on the screen, these angry elders, without prior agreement, turned their spearheads towards the current patriarch of their Hyuga clan – Hyuga Hiashi.
“Hiashi! You are the patriarch of the Hyuga clan! Facing such a great humiliation! Are you just going to stand by and watch, indifferent?!” An elder with a hot temper suddenly turned his head, staring at the gloomy Hyuga Hiashi with his bloodshot eyes, his tone full of questioning and dissatisfaction.
“That’s right! Hiashi! You must find a way! You must find a way to stop all this! Stop this monster from continuing to tarnish the reputation of my Hyuga clan!” Another elder also shouted at the top of his lungs, his saliva almost spraying on Hyuga Hiashi’s face.
Chapter 33: Even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs. (Old version)
“And there’s also the real Hinata!” An elder even directed his anger at the unconscious Hinata Hyuga. He said in a voice that was almost a roar, “Regardless of whether what happened on the screen is true or false, she, Hinata Hyuga, is to blame! You must punish her severely! You must teach her a profound lesson! To serve as a warning to others! Otherwise, where will the family rules of our Hyuga clan be? Where will the dignity of our Hyuga clan be!”
The voices of these elders were filled with anger, anxiety, and a deep fear.
They were truly afraid that the reputation and prestige accumulated by the Hyuga clan over hundreds of years would be completely destroyed in just a few hours of “inventory” today, and become the laughing stock of the entire ninja world.
They placed all their hopes on Hinata Hiashi, hoping that he could turn the tide and prevent the disaster from continuing.
At the same time, they were also using this method to put enormous pressure on Hiashi, forcing him to make the decision they thought was “correct”.
Hyuga Hiashi, the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, is currently under unprecedented pressure from all sides.
There is the family shame brought about by the appalling performance of the “Hinata from the parallel world” on the screen.
There was the mental torture brought by the meaningful looks from other families and ninjas around him.
There were also almost hysterical accusations and pressures from the elders within the family who usually treated him with great respect.
He stood there quietly, without saying a word, letting the accusations and curses like raging waves hit him.
His face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm, so dark that water could almost drip out of it.
His pair of pure white eyes were fixed on the huge black screen that was still playing the unbearable images. Deep in his eyes, there was a murderous intent and a hint of… a deep sense of powerlessness.
Didn’t he want to stop all this?!
He wanted more than anyone else to smash that damn screen to pieces and tear the black hand behind all this into pieces!
But he knew very well that he couldn’t do it.
This strange screen possesses a power far beyond his imagination, which is simply beyond his control and resistance at the moment.
All his previous attempts have proven this.
In the face of such absolute power, Hyuga Hiashi, the patriarch of a powerful family in Konoha Village, seemed so small and powerless.
As for…punishing Hinata in real life?
Hearing the elders’ roars of “severe punishment” and “set an example to others”, Hinata Hiashi’s gaze involuntarily turned to his daughter who was held in the arms of Inuzuka Kiba not far away. She had already fainted from shame and anger, her face as pale as paper, and her whole body was cold and trembling…
Looking at his daughter’s fragile appearance, as if she would die at any time, Hinata Hiashi’s heart, which had become hard and cold due to anger and humiliation, couldn’t help but flash a trace at this moment… so subtle that he himself hardly noticed… of reluctance and complexity.
Yes, he was angry that Hinata (even the Hinata from the parallel world) had brought such great shame to the family.
Yes, he was disappointed with Hinata (the real Hinata)’s daily cowardice and incompetence.
But no matter what, she was his daughter after all, his own flesh and blood.
Even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs.
Asking him to “severely punish” his daughter who is almost on the verge of collapse because of this incident, can he… can he really do it?
Moreover, he also knew that Hinata in reality was innocent.
Whatever happened on the screen had nothing to do with her.
Will blaming her for all the crimes and punishing her severely really restore the reputation of the Hyuga clan? Will it really calm the anger of the elders?
I’m afraid it will only make things more complicated and more ridiculous.
Hinata Hiashi’s heart was in an unprecedented intense struggle.
On the one hand, he had to bear tremendous pressure from inside and outside the family and maintain the honor and dignity of the Hyuga clan.
On the other hand, he has to face the weak but real emotions in his heart as a father.
This dilemma made him feel physically and mentally exhausted and almost crushed.
He remained silent and did not respond to any accusations or requests from the elders.
But his eyes became even deeper and more…dangerous.
He secretly swore in his heart that no matter what the cost, he must find out the origin of this strange screen and the real purpose of the manipulator behind the scenes!
Hyuga Hiashi will definitely avenge the Hyuga clan!
(Another clip: This Hinata is performing a seduction mission, bewitching her target.)
Just as the atmosphere within the Hyuga clan was reaching its peak due to the elders’ angry rebukes and Hyuga Hiashi’s silence, and just as everyone in the square was still savoring the huge impact of the triumphant and provocative kiss just now—
It seems as if the manipulator behind the scenes does not give anyone a chance to breathe or think, and just wants to use this kind of continuous and increasingly explosive content to constantly stimulate everyone’s nerves and challenge everyone’s bottom line.
This time, the first thing that appeared on the screen was not a moving portrait, but some… text information similar to a mission briefing.
The words were written in a font that looked quite formal and serious, and were arranged in the center of the screen.
However, unlike normal mission briefings, much of the key information in this briefing was deliberately obscured by a thick, mosaic-like blur effect, making it impossible to see the specific content.
Despite this, some words that were not obscured, as well as the format and wording unique to that mission briefing, clearly revealed some important information.
for example:
“Mission level: S-level (suspected)”
“Mission Type: Infiltration and Intelligence Acquisition”
“Mission Target: Leader of XXX Organization, XXXX (key information such as name and code name has been blurred)”
“Mission requirements: At all costs, approach the target, obtain its core confidential intelligence, and if necessary… eliminate it (the word ‘eliminate’ is deliberately bolded and flashes an ominous red light)”
“Task Executor: Hyuga Hinata (Codename: Purple Butterfly)”
When the extremely clear text “Task Executor: Hinata Hyuga (Codename: Purple Butterfly)” was seen, a burst of suppressed exclamations was heard again in the square.
Obviously, the next clip to be played will still be about this “Hinata in the parallel world”.
Chapter 34 “Ah——!” (Old Version)
The code name “Purple Butterfly” also makes people involuntarily think of her iconic dark purple modified kimono and her butterfly-like light and deadly skills.
In addition to these textual information, the background of the screen has also quietly changed.
It is no longer the monotonous black background as before, but has become some… dynamic background images full of suggestive meaning.
For example, swaying red wine glasses, flashing neon lights, luxurious casino chips, and some… scantily clad, seductive female silhouettes.
At the same time, the background music also switched from the previous battle music full of tension and excitement to a kind of… jazz music full of ambiguity, laziness, and even a bit of decadence and danger.
The combination of these words, pictures and music silently, yet clearly, hints to all the audience present:
The content of the next clip to be played will probably be more…special, more…sensitive, and even more…unbearable to watch than any of the previous clips!
This is most likely a… seduction mission!
As expected, when the text-based mission briefings gradually faded away, the scene on the screen switched to a place that was brightly lit and extravagant, similar to a luxurious banquet hall or a high-end private club.
In the picture, there are crowds of people, all dressed in elegant clothes.
Many men and women in elegant clothes and jewels, holding tall wine glasses, walked among the crowd, chatting and laughing, and toasting each other.
The air was filled with the strong smell of alcohol, perfume, and an indescribable smell of decadence filled with desire and transaction.
And that familiar figure – “Hinata from the parallel world” also quietly appeared in this place full of luxury and sin.
However, this time, her outfit had new changes.
She was no longer wearing the boldly revealing dark purple modified kimono she had worn before.
Instead, she changed into a black lace evening dress that was more gorgeous, more sexy, and more suitable for this kind of banquet occasion!
That evening gown was incredibly clever and…bold.
The upper body is a tight-fitting tube top design, which perfectly outlines her full breast curves, smooth and round shoulders and delicate and graceful collarbones.
The waist is tightened in an extremely exaggerated way, which perfectly binds her slender waist and highlights her amazing S-shaped figure.
The lower body is designed with a long skirt with a high slit. The hem of the skirt is made up of countless layers of thin black lace. As she walks, the slit hem of the skirt sways gently, and you can vaguely see her long and straight legs wrapped in black transparent stockings, and her jade feet wearing ten-centimeter black stilettos.
The entire back is completely exposed, with only a few thin black lace ribbons above the waist, crisscrossed and intertwined, adding a bit of indescribable sexiness and mystery.
Her hair has also been carefully groomed. It is no longer the casual short hair before, but has been tied into a delicate and elegant bun. A few strands of curly hair hang playfully around her ears and neck, further highlighting her slender and graceful swan neck.
Her face was also painted with delicate and alluring makeup. Her eyeliner was deliberately extended, and her eyeshadow was a deep purple and black, adding an indescribable allure and mystery to her pure white eyes. Her red lips were fiery, vibrant and voluptuous, as if silently inviting people to taste them.
At this moment, she is like a black rose blooming in the dark night, beautiful, noble, yet full of deadly danger and temptation.
She held a bright red cocktail in her hand and walked with elegant and calm steps, like the most noble queen, among the well-dressed crowd.
Every smile of hers and every glance of hers can easily attract the attention of the men around her, making them look at her sideways and fall for her.
However, her gaze did not linger too long on the men who cast admiring glances at her.
Her pair of pure and charming white eyes, at this moment, were like the most accurate radar, rapidly scanning the crowd, searching…
Soon, her eyes locked onto a specific target in the crowd.
He was a middle-aged man who looked to be around 40 or 50 years old, dressed very elegantly and behaved quite decently.
He was a little overweight, with his hair combed meticulously. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. The look behind the lenses seemed shrewd and deep.
Judging from the respectful attitude of the people around him, this middle-aged man is obviously of extraordinary identity and prominent status. He is most likely the one mentioned in the mission briefing… “Leader of XXX organization, XXXX”.
(Of course, to protect privacy, or perhaps to increase suspense, the face of this middle-aged man is still obscured by a thick blur, making it difficult to see his specific appearance.)
After locking onto the target, the “Hinata from the parallel world” on the screen did not rush forward recklessly.
Instead, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile that was full of confidence and calculation.
Holding the wine glass in her hand, she adjusted her route without leaving any trace and began to slowly approach the middle-aged man.
Her movements were so natural and graceful that the people around her were completely unaware of her true intentions.
They only saw a beautiful and noble woman in black, strolling casually in the banquet hall, admiring the surrounding scenery.
Just as she was about to pass by the middle-aged man——
An accident happened.
The “Hinata from the parallel world” seemed to be tripped by something (of course, everyone could see that she definitely did it on purpose), and her body staggered suddenly. The bright red cocktail in her hand also tilted and was about to spill!
She let out a perfect cry, with a hint of panic and helplessness. The voice was so charming that it was enough to make any man feel pity.
At the same time, her body “accidentally” fell into the arms of the middle-aged man next to her!
This sudden “accident” and this carefully planned “encounter” are simply textbook-level “scam”!
When everyone in the square saw this scene, they couldn’t help but hold their breath again.
They knew that the fun had just begun.
Chapter 35: Hinata in the Parallel World!!! (Old Version)
When the “Hinata from the parallel world” on the screen, dressed in a black lace evening gown, stumbled in a seemingly accidental but actually carefully planned manner, and with a charming and charming cry, fell into the arms of the middle-aged man with a blurred face and an extraordinary identity –
Everyone in the square had their hearts in their throats.
They knew that this “seduction drama” full of ambiguity and danger was finally about to begin.
As expected, when the middle-aged man heard the charming cry and felt a warm and soft body falling towards him, he almost instinctively stretched out his hands and steadily embraced the black-clad beauty who “accidentally” fell into his arms.
Although his face was blurred and his specific expression could not be seen, judging from his slightly stiff body movements and the subconscious tightening of his arms, it was obvious that this sudden “affair” had caught him off guard and… inexplicably moved.
“Ah… I’m so sorry! Sir, I… I didn’t mean to…”
The “Hinata from the parallel world” who was held in the arms of the middle-aged man did not struggle to break free immediately. Instead, she curled up slightly in his arms like a frightened deer, and spoke softly with just the right amount of panic, shyness and apology in her voice.
Her voice was like the sweetest honey and the mellowest wine, soft and gentle, melodious and beautiful. Every word she spoke was like a small feather, gently scratching the heart of the middle-aged man, making him feel numb and… indescribable comfort.
She raised her head slightly, and her misty eyes looked at the man who “saved” her with a bit of innocence, a bit of shyness, and just the right amount of gratitude.
That look was so pitiful and touching that it was enough to melt the heart of any man.
“It’s…it’s okay, Miss. Are you…are you okay?”
The moment the middle-aged man met her pure yet somewhat blurry eyes, he felt his heart skip a beat, and his voice became a little stuttering and…unnatural.
He could clearly smell the faint, orchid-like body fragrance emanating from the beautiful woman in his arms, with a hint of…indescribable, seductive scent.
The fragrance made him feel dry in the mouth and his mind was shaken.
“I… I’m fine, thanks to you, sir. Otherwise… otherwise I would have been embarrassed today.”
“Hinata from the parallel world” said this in a tone that was a bit fearful and grateful. At the same time, her body also “inadvertently” adjusted slightly in the arms of the middle-aged man.
This subtle movement made her plump and soft breasts fit more closely against the middle-aged man’s chest.
Even through the thin fabric, he could clearly feel the amazing elasticity and softness.
This instantly accelerated the blood flow in his body, and his breathing became a little heavy.
The “Hinata of the Parallel World” seemed to have also noticed her “loss of composure”. Like a frightened little rabbit, she quickly broke free from the middle-aged man’s arms. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and with a bit of shyness and apology, she bowed slightly to him and said softly:
“Thank you so much, sir. To express my apologies and gratitude, I wonder if I might have the honor of buying you a drink?”
Her voice was as smooth as velvet, and every word she uttered was filled with irresistible magic.
Her pair of white eyes, filled with a bit of expectation, a bit of earnestness, and a hint of… a vague hint, stared at the middle-aged man in front of her without blinking.
Faced with such a “sincere” invitation from such a stunning beauty, how could the middle-aged man refuse?
He only felt that his heart was as if being tightly grasped by an invisible little hand, and then soaked in warm water, and his whole body felt a little dizzy.
He quickly straightened his collar, cleared his dry throat, and tried to make his voice sound calm and magnetic:
“Ahem… Miss, you’re too polite. It’s just a small favor. It’s my honor to share a drink with such a beautiful lady.”
Although his face was still blurry, from his slightly trembling voice and his subconsciously straightened back, it was obvious that he had been initially captured by the charm of this “Hinata from the parallel world” on the screen.
So, in full view of everyone, the “Hinata from the parallel world” on the screen walked to a relatively secluded booth in the corner of the banquet hall with the target male of extraordinary status, sat down, and started a “conversation” full of ambiguity and temptation.
Her voice always maintained that soft, gentle and pleasant tone.
Her words are also full of artistry and…suggestion.
Sometimes she was like an innocent girl who knew nothing about the world, looking at the middle-aged man with curiosity and admiration, listening to his “long talk” about career and power, and occasionally making one or two well-placed exclamations and praises, which greatly satisfied his vanity.
Sometimes, she would act like an understanding confidante, asking him some “private topics” about life and emotions in a gentle and considerate tone, and skillfully guiding him so that he would unconsciously reveal some of his deepest thoughts and secrets.
What’s even worse is that she would occasionally mix in some… provocative, pun-filled and suggestive words between her words.
Those words, like the most exquisite hooks, precisely aroused the most primitive desires and thoughts in the heart of the middle-aged man, making him distracted and full of imagination.
In addition to verbal teasing, she would occasionally make some small movements that seemed unintentional but were actually full of extreme temptation.
For example, as she listened to the middle-aged man speak, she would tilt her head slightly, her misty eyes fixed on him intently yet with a hint of daze, as if he were her sole focus. At the same time, her slender, white fingers would “unconsciously” gently touch a strand of hair that fell by her ear, slowly brushing it back to reveal her delicate, pink, lustrous earlobe. This gesture made her appear both innocent and sexy, imbued with an indescribable charm.
For example, when she talked about something that made her feel “shy” or “surprised,” she would gently cover her slightly parted red lips with the hand holding the wine glass, revealing only a pair of watery eyes with a hint of innocence and shyness, and secretly look at the middle-aged man through her fingers. That shy look of wanting to speak but not yet, wanting to refuse but also to accept, was enough to instantly make any man’s desire to protect and conquer her burst.
The answer to Chapter 36 does not seem optimistic. (Old version)
For example, when she clinked glasses with the middle-aged man, her fingers would “accidentally” and lightly touch his fingers. That brief and slight physical contact was like an electric current, instantly transmitting to the depths of his heart, making him feel numb and trembling.
She would even, under the influence of alcohol, or rather, feign intoxication, sway slightly, and then “accidentally” place her arm or shoulder gently against the middle-aged man’s arm or shoulder. The soft and elastic touch, along with the subtle fragrance emanating from her body, was enough to make any man with less self-control lose control on the spot.
From time to time, she would lean close to the middle-aged man’s ear and say some… insignificant “whispers” in a voice that only the two of them could hear, with a sweet, orchid-like, somewhat mysterious and intimate tone.
The warm and moist breath blows on the other person’s sensitive earlobe, making the other person feel unbearable itchiness and intoxicated.
At this moment, her pair of pure and charming eyes would also roll upwards at the right time. Her eyes were full of charm and seductiveness, as if silently inviting the other party to have a deeper “communication”.
Her every movement, every look, even every breath, seemed to have been carefully calculated and rehearsed. With incredible precision, she teased the heartstrings of the target man, broke down his psychological defenses, and made him sink step by step into the gentle trap she had carefully woven, which was full of temptation and danger.
Under the sophisticated and deliberate seduction of the “Hinata from the parallel world” on the screen, the middle-aged male target who originally looked quite shrewd and deep soon completely lost all resistance and behaved… infatuated and ugly.
His gaze, which was initially filled with scrutiny and reserve, gradually turned into an obsession and greed that he could not take his eyes off her.
His eyes, hidden behind the gold-rimmed glasses, were now almost naked as he scanned back and forth over her exquisitely shaped body curves, especially her plump breasts, slender waist, and the pair of long beautiful legs wrapped in black transparent stockings. He lingered for a long time, his eyes filled with undisguised desire and possession.
The voice of his speech also gradually changed from being calm and magnetic at first to becoming incoherent and confusing.
He began to brag to her about his wealth, power and status, trying to attract her attention with these external things, but he was completely unaware of how ridiculous and childish his words and actions were in her eyes.
He would even become nervous and at a loss because of her unintentional smile or unconscious frown, fearing that he might do something wrong and annoy the stunning beauty who had captivated him.
The hand holding the wine glass was shaking slightly due to excessive excitement and nervousness, and he almost spilled the wine in the glass several times.
His cheeks were flushed abnormally due to the effects of alcohol and desire, and his breathing became heavier and more rapid.
The way he looked at her showed that he had completely lost his rationality and ability to think, leaving only the most primitive, naked desire and possession.
It was as if he couldn’t wait to kill this devilish woman in front of him right then and there, and ravage her mercilessly, so as to calm the evil fire in his heart that was almost burning him to ashes.
Through the nearly idiotic and incompetent behavior of the target male, as well as the undisguised desire in his eyes, the screen clearly showed to all the audience present how superb and… terrifying the seduction skills of the “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen were, which could be described as “perfect” and “reaching the pinnacle”!
She doesn’t even need to use any drugs or perform any magic. Just relying on her enchanting looks, exquisite figure, soft and gentle voice, and those carefully designed words and actions full of suggestion and provocation, she can easily manipulate a target man who looks extraordinary and experienced, making him obey her every word, be infatuated with her, and completely become her slave.
This ability and this method made many male ninjas in the square feel dry mouths and shaken minds. At the same time, they couldn’t help but feel a deep chill and fear rising from the bottom of their hearts.
They ask themselves, if they were facing a woman like this, how long could they last? Would they also behave like the target man on the screen, letting him manipulate them?
The answer does not seem optimistic.
And just as everyone in the square was having different thoughts and emotions intertwined and collided because of the ambiguous and dangerous “seduction drama” on the screen –
Several high-ranking figures of Konoha Village, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, as well as Tsunade and Jiraiya (if they were present at the moment), when they saw this scene, the expressions on their faces became more complicated and… solemn.
Seduction itself, as a special means for ninjas to obtain intelligence and achieve their goals, is nothing new in the ninja world. It can even be said to be… an indispensable part of certain specific types of tasks.
Both Kakashi Hatake and Jiraiya himself have more or less used, or are good at, this “special skill”.
They know very well that in certain specific circumstances, beauty is often more deadly and effective than any sharp weapon.
However, when this seduction technique, which they considered somewhat “unpresentable” and even had a bit of “evil” connotations, was performed by Hinata Hyuga (her parallel world individual), who they usually thought was pure, shy, introverted, and even a little timid, and… the effect was so astonishing and immediate –
This still made them feel an unprecedented strong shock and a hint of…indescribable, deep uneasiness.
The third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, had his brows tightly furrowed at this moment. His old and wise eyes were fixed on the “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen who was playing with her target in the palm of her hand. His eyes were filled with a complex and incomprehensible light.
He smoked his pipe much faster than before, and his expression seemed uncertain amidst the smoke.
Chapter 37: This Charm, This Method, This Timing… (Old Version)
On the one hand, he had to admit that the seduction techniques displayed by this “Hinata” on the screen were indeed… extremely sophisticated, almost reaching the level of art. Her insight into the human heart, her control over desires, and her grasp of timing were all breathtakingly precise.
If… if this ability can be used by Konoha, then in certain special intelligence fronts or diplomatic occasions, it will undoubtedly be an… invincible trump card!
But on the other hand, he was deeply worried about the “improperty” and “danger” of this ability.
The art of seduction is ultimately an unorthodox method, exploiting human weaknesses to achieve its goals. Overreliance on it, or improper use, can easily backfire, even bringing immeasurable negative consequences to the village.
Moreover, when he looked at the charming and seductive “Hinata” on the screen, and then thought about the pure and kind Hinata in reality who fainted because of shame and anger, a strong sense of incongruity and uneasiness always lingered in his heart.
He couldn’t imagine or accept that the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan, a ninja from Konoha Village, would become like what was on the screen.
If Tsunade were present at this moment, her beautiful eyebrows would probably be slightly frowned out of surprise and a hint of… displeasure.
As one of the “Legendary Three Ninjas” who once dominated the ninja world, and as the future Fifth Hokage of Konoha Village (if the plot has progressed to that point), Tsunade is naturally no stranger to the art of seduction. She may even have been the target of sexual seduction due to her impressive figure and beauty, or perhaps even inadvertently exploited her feminine charm to achieve certain goals.
However, what she believed in more was absolute strength and powerful medical ninjutsu.
Deep down, she felt a bit disdainful and…disgusted with the behavior of the “Hinata” on the screen…which could almost be said to be completely “objectifying” herself and using “seduction” as the main means of attack and survival.
She believes that women should not rely solely on beauty to achieve success. Women can also stand at the top of the ninja world with their own strength and wisdom!
However, she had to admit that the Hinata on screen’s “skills” in seduction were indeed… a bit ridiculously strong. This made her feel unhappy, but also a little… an inexplicable, subtle sense of crisis that comes with being a woman.
As for Jiraiya, if he were present at this moment, his reaction would probably be the most “exciting” among the three.
This legendary ninja known as the “lecherous immortal” would probably widen his eyes and look like a pig who is obsessed with sex when he saw the “Hinata from the parallel world” on the screen performing such a superb seduction performance, and even a few drops of suspicious saliva might flow from the corners of his mouth.
Then, he might stroke his chin, and with a “professional” eye, he would comment in amazement, “Oh wow… this little girl is not simple! She is simply a natural beauty! Her charm, her methods, her skills… compared to those I encountered back then… um, cough cough… they are in no way inferior! In fact… they are even better! Really… really… the young are to be feared! The young are to be feared!”
Of course, besides the amazement and “admiration”, there would probably be a flash of…imperceptible solemnity and vigilance in the depths of his eyes, which always had a bit of mischief.
Because he knew better than anyone that the more beautiful a woman, the more dangerous she was. And a woman like Hinata on the screen, who used both her beauty and scheming to the extreme, was the most dangerous of all, a deadly poison that could make any hero bow down to her, and even doom them to eternal damnation!
In short, when the senior officials of Konoha saw this “textbook-level” seduction drama on the screen, their hearts were filled with complex and contradictory feelings.
They are both frightened by the power and potential of this ability and deeply uneasy and worried about the “illegitimacy” and “danger” of this ability.
They began to realize that the hidden meaning and purpose behind this so-called “Inventory of Parallel World Succubi” was probably far more profound and… terrifying than they had imagined.
Just as the Konoha high-ups were lost in deep thought and complex feelings because of the “seduction drama” on the screen, the reactions of the female ninjas in the square were more direct and…diverse.
Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura, two girls who usually care about “charm” and “attraction”, were once again shocked by the “superb business ability” displayed by the “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen and were speechless.
Ino opened her beautiful aqua-blue eyes wide, staring at the “Hinata” on the screen without blinking, who was smiling sweetly, showing off her charm, and playing with her target in the palm of her hand. Her heart was filled with disbelief and… a hint of frustration.
She had always thought she was quite adept at attracting men. She knew how to dress herself, how to show off her strengths, and how to use her girlish charm and willfulness to make boys want her.
However, compared with the “Hinata” on the screen, her “little tricks” are just like a child playing house, so childish and ridiculous!
The “Hinata” on the screen is the real “high-level player”!
Her every look, every movement, every word is full of fatal temptation and precise calculation!
That kind… that kind of “magic” that brings out one’s own charm to the extreme, controls men’s psychology, and makes them sink into it without realizing it, is simply… so terrifying!
For the first time, Ino had a hint of…deep doubt about her title of “heartthrob”.
She even wondered, if she were asked to carry out such a “seduction mission”, could she be one-tenth as good as the “Hinata” on the screen?
The answer seems to be no.
This made her feel shocked and frustrated, but at the same time, she couldn’t help but feel an inexplicable desire to “learn” and “borrow” from the bottom of her heart.
Of course, she couldn’t express this thought out loud.
Haruno Sakura’s reaction was more of a…continuous collapse of her worldview and deep doubt about reality.
She looked at the “Hinata” on the screen who was at ease and charming in front of men, and then thought about the Hinata who was as pure as a blank sheet of paper and would blush to her neck even when talking to Naruto. She felt that her brain had completely crashed.
Chapter 38: Hinata in the Parallel World!! (Old Version)
Is this… is this really the same person (individual in a parallel world)?
The contrast is too great!
She began to wonder if her previous understanding of Hinata was… completely wrong?
Could it be that, beneath that shy and introverted exterior, Hinata actually has a side so… so unrestrained and alluring? She just doesn’t usually show it?
This thought made her feel creepy.
At the same time, she was also deeply worried about Hinata in reality.
She didn’t know how shocked Hinata would be when she woke up and knew what happened on the screen, and what her mental state would be like.
As Hinata Hyuga’s instructor, Kurenai Yuhi’s mood at this moment is the most complicated and… painful.
She looked at the “Hinata from the parallel world” on the screen, who was completely different from the kind, pure, hardworking, yet somewhat timid student image she had in mind. She watched her use the kind of temptation and calculation methods she had never thought of to play with one man after another. Her heart was filled with unspeakable anxiety, powerlessness, and a trace of… deep self-blame.
She was worried about how huge and far-reaching negative impact this so-called “Inventory of Succubi from the Parallel World” would have on Hinata in reality.
She was powerless in the face of this strange and irresistible screen. As a senior ninja and Hinata’s teacher, she could do nothing but watch her student (the individual in the parallel world) being “publicly executed” and “defiled” in this way.
She even blamed herself a little, wondering if she hadn’t cared enough for Hinata and taught her well enough? Had she failed to recognize in time some unknown dark side deep within Hinata’s heart? (Although she knew this thought was ridiculous, she couldn’t help but think it.)
When the “seduction drama” on the screen reached its climax, when the target man had completely fallen at the feet of the “Hinata of the parallel world”, allowing her to have whatever she wanted –
Xiurihong can’t bear it anymore.
She stretched out her hands in pain and covered her cheeks tightly, as if this could block out the disgusting scenes and the meaningful discussions in the square.
Her face, which usually showed a bit of heroism and gentleness, was now filled with fatigue and pain.
Her shoulders were shaking slightly uncontrollably, revealing her extreme inner restlessness.
She couldn’t bear to watch any longer.
She was afraid that if she continued watching, she would collapse because she could not bear the huge mental shock.
She was even more afraid that when all this was over, when Hinata in reality woke up, how would she face that student whose heart was already fragile?
How could she comfort her? How could she enlighten her? How could she help her get out of this sudden nightmare that could destroy her life?
For the first time, Xihi Kurenai felt deep doubt and…powerlessness about her ability as a teacher.
She just felt that her heart was so painful and so tired.
In the square, most of the more conservative female ninjas, or those with a stronger sense of morality, showed obvious disdain, contempt, and even disgust when they saw the “vivid” seduction scenes on the screen.
“Humph! How shameless! You actually resort to such despicable means to achieve your goals!”
“That’s right! It’s a disgrace to us female kunoichi! We female kunoichi should fight with strength and wisdom, not by selling our looks!”
“A woman like this, no matter how powerful she is, will only make people look down on her!”
They all expressed strong condemnation and disgust towards the behavior of the “Hinata from the parallel world” on the screen, believing that this was an unorthodox and crooked path that was not worth promoting.
But there are also a small number of female ninjas who are more active in their thinking, or more realistic. After the initial shock and discomfort, they saw something from the “Hinata from the parallel world” on the screen… things worth “learning” and “borrowing from”.
They might think that although this method is indeed a bit… not so glorious, but if it can really achieve the goal without bloodshed at the critical moment and obtain important intelligence, then… it doesn’t seem to be completely unacceptable?
After all, the ninja world is a world full of intrigue and deception, and all means are used to achieve one’s goals.
As long as the mission can be completed and the village can be protected, sometimes the process and means seem… not that important?
These female ninjas secretly observed every look, every movement, and every micro-expression of “Hinata” on the screen, trying to learn some… skills that could enhance their own “charm” and “social skills”.
Of course, the purpose of their “learning” may not be to carry out any “seduction mission”, but more to… be able to better handle interpersonal relationships in daily life, or to be more at ease when facing the men they like.
Human nature is inherently complex.
In short, this sudden “seduction drama” on the screen also triggered a variety of different reactions and thoughts among the female ninjas in Konoha Village.
Jealousy, disdain, worry, learning…
Various emotions and thoughts intertwined and collided in their hearts, allowing them to have some… new cognition and understanding of themselves, their companions, and the world.
Xihihong covered her face with her hands, and what seeped out between her fingers was her deep concern and heavy sense of responsibility for her students as a teacher.
She began to worry deeply about Hinata’s future.
This incident was a huge and heavy blow to Hinata, a girl who was already sensitive and fragile.
The disgusting scenes on the screen, the “inventory” full of humiliation and malice, and the discussions and gazes full of various meanings in the square were like sharp knives, cutting Hinata’s already scarred heart cruelly and repeatedly.
Kurenai Yuhi was almost certain that this incident would leave an indelible, nightmare-like shadow in Hinata’s heart.
This shadow will probably haunt her and torture her like a maggot on her tarsal bone, making it impossible for her to get rid of it for a long time in the future.
This shadow might even completely destroy her self-confidence, distort her personality, and affect her future as a ninja, making it impossible for her to pursue her dreams as purely and diligently as before.
Chapter 39: A charming heart beneath an innocent exterior, the ultimate in cute contrast. (Old version)
When she thought of these terrible possibilities, Xihihong’s heart felt like it was being grabbed by an invisible hand, and the pain made her almost unable to breathe.
As Hinata’s instructor, she watched her student endure such tremendous pain and torture, but was powerless to do anything. The deep sense of powerlessness and self-blame overwhelmed her like a tide.
She felt a heavy, unshirkable responsibility.
She knew that when this absurd “inventory” was over and Hinata woke up from her coma, she would face a more cruel and difficult reality.
She had to face the pressure from her family, the strange looks from her peers, and the criticism and rumors from the entire village and even the entire ninja world.
For a girl who is already sensitive and fragile, these are undoubtedly adding insult to injury and are a burden that is enough to completely crush her.
And she, Kurenai Yuhi, as Hinata’s teacher and one of Hinata’s closest guides on the road of ninja, must, and must, take on the responsibility of helping Hinata overcome this difficulty.
She must try every possible way and use all her strength to comfort her, enlighten her, encourage her and protect her.
She wanted to let Hinata know that she was not fighting alone, she had teachers, companions, and people who truly cared about her, who were supporting her and accompanying her.
She wants to help Hinata dispel the shadow in her heart, rebuild her shattered confidence, cheer her up again, and let her bravely face this world which is cruel but not completely hopeless.
This will be an extremely difficult and long task.
But Xi Ri Hong has made up her mind.
No matter how difficult it is, no matter how much effort it takes, she will never give up on her students.
This is her most basic and most important duty and belief as a teacher.
(The scene switches to Asuma, if he were present and had a close relationship with Kurenai.)
Just when Kurenai Yuhi was feeling exhausted and in pain because of her deep worry about Hinata, a tall and familiar figure quietly came to her side.
It’s Asuma Sarutobi.
Asuma’s face also showed a bit of solemnity and… imperceptible worry.
Naturally, he also saw the jaw-dropping scenes on the screen, felt the strange and depressing atmosphere in the square, and saw Xihi Kurenai’s painful appearance.
As Yuhi Kurenai’s companion, or perhaps… a confidant with a deeper relationship, he could not sit idly by and watch her pain.
He stretched out his hand, that rough yet warm big hand, gently, a little clumsily, but full of concern and comfort, it fell on Xihihong’s slightly trembling shoulder.
“Hong…” Asuma’s voice, with his unique hoarseness and calmness, sounded in her ear, “Don’t worry too much, things…will eventually pass.”
He wanted to say something to comfort her, to tell her that everything would be fine, but when the words came to his lips, they felt so pale and powerless.
Because he also knew very well that the current situation was far beyond their control and understanding.
The impact brought by the “Hinata from the parallel world” on the screen and the various consequences caused by it cannot be easily resolved with a few simple words of comfort.
Xihihong felt the familiar warmth and strength coming from her shoulder, and her heart, which was cold due to anxiety and powerlessness, seemed to receive a little insignificant comfort.
She slowly lowered her hands that were covering her face, revealing her pretty face filled with fatigue and bitterness.
She turned her head and looked at the man beside her who always gave her a sense of support at critical moments. Her eyes were full of gratitude, but also full of… deep helplessness and bitterness.
She just shook her head bitterly and gently, and said in a hoarse voice:
“Asuma…thank you. But…you don’t understand…this kind of thing can’t be solved with just a few words of comfort.”
Her tone was filled with a deep sense of powerlessness and confusion about the future.
“I just hope… I just hope this ridiculous ‘inventory’ can end as soon as possible. I really… I really don’t dare to think about it anymore.”
Asuma looked at Yuhi Kurenai’s haggard and painful appearance, and felt a wave of pain and helplessness in his heart.
He knew that Hong was telling the truth.
In the face of this unimaginable and irresistible mysterious force, these so-called Jonin, the so-called elites, are nothing more than… a group of helpless, pitiful spectators.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, it turned into a silent sigh.
He could only silently put his hand on Xi Rihong’s shoulder, and use his arms, which were not broad but strong enough, to give her a little…insignificant support and comfort.
The only thing he could do now was to accompany her silently and pray silently.
(The review on the screen reads: “A seductive heart beneath an innocent exterior, the ultimate in cute contrast, Succubus Index: 75 points.”)
Just as everyone in the square was thrown into chaos and discussion because of the astonishing performance of the “Hinata from the parallel world” in the seduction mission on the screen, and the various subsequent reactions it triggered –
The picture on the screen changed again.
The luxurious banquet hall filled with ambiguous atmosphere, and the target man who was bewitched by the “Hinata from the parallel world” and behaved in an ugly manner, were all frozen in a certain frame as if the pause button was pressed.
The frozen image happens to be that of the “Hinata from the parallel world” who, after successfully gaining the trust of her target (or, completely capturing his heart), faces the camera (or a hidden observer) with a smile of victory… one that is full of confidence, complacency, and extreme charm.
That smile was so enchanting and captivating that it seemed as if it could completely suck a person’s soul in.
Just when everyone thought that there might be more explosive, or even more unbearable follow-up content –
In the center of the screen, a light flickered slightly.
Then, a line of golden, glittering evaluation text, filled with some kind of…official certification, appeared clearly on the frozen face of the “Hinata from the parallel world” with a charming smile, as if it was slowly written by an invisible hand.
The golden review text is as follows:
“The alluring heart beneath the innocent exterior is the ultimate in cute contrast.”
Just a short sentence, twelve words.
But it is like the sharpest scalpel, accurately summarizing the most intuitive and profound feelings that this “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen brings to all the audience present.
Chapter 40 “Seven… Seventy-five points?!” (Old version)
Innocent appearance – yes, she possessed the same appearance as the real-life Hinata Hyuga, looking pure and flawless, even with a hint of shyness and childishness. Those pure white eyes made it difficult to associate her with any filthy words.
A seductive heart—yet beneath her innocent exterior lies a heart filled with allure, calculation, and even a touch of sinister and dangerous. Her every glance, every movement, every word is filled with deadly temptation and precise calculation, enough to captivate any man, forever captivated.
The ultimate in contrasting cuteness—when these two diametrically opposed, even contradictory, qualities are perfectly and harmoniously unified within the same person, they create an unprecedented, intense, irresistible, and unique charm. This charm both frightens and evokes a desire to draw closer, to explore, to… to be captivated.
The appearance of this line of comments caused the originally noisy discussions in the square to pause for a moment.
Everyone’s attention was attracted by the line of golden words.
They silently pondered the meaning of this sentence in their hearts, and then… it suddenly dawned on them!
“Contrasting cuteness… So… is that how it is?”
Many young ninjas were stunned at first when they saw the relatively new term “contrasting cuteness”, and then showed a thoughtful expression.
Some of them may have come across similar concepts in some inferior novels or stories.
At this moment, when this word was used to describe the “Hinata of the parallel world” on the screen, they suddenly felt… enlightened!
yes!
Why is this “Hinata from the parallel world” so eye-catching? Why does it make them feel so shocked and… moved?
It’s not just because of her bold clothes, seductive eyes, and those extraordinary actions.
More importantly, it’s because of the…extreme “contrast” she displayed!
If she had been a woman who looked bohemian and seductive from the beginning, then her actions might not have been so surprising and…exciting.
But she happened to have a face… exactly the same as that of Hinata Hyuga, the innocent, shy and introverted girl in their impression!
When those two completely opposite qualities, the ultimate innocence and the ultimate seductiveness, are combined and displayed in the same person in a nearly perfect way—
That strong visual impact, that huge cognitive subversion, and the resulting… unique, indescribable “cuteness” and “charm”, are simply… nuclear bomb level!
It’s enough to make any normal man crazy and fall for it!
“So… this is what they call ‘contrasting cuteness’…” Some young ninjas murmured to themselves, their eyes filled with sudden enlightenment and… a hint of excitement.
They seemed to have found a reasonable explanation to justify their inappropriate reaction and uncontrollable heartbeat, a “legitimate reason”.
It’s not that they have weak willpower or dirty thoughts.
It’s because… the opponent’s “contrasting cuteness” is too strong! Too lethal!
Well, that must be the case!
When Uzumaki Naruto saw the line of golden evaluation text, he subconsciously scratched his messy golden hair, with an expression of confusion on his face.
“Contrast… cute?” He tilted his head, trying hard to think about the meaning of this word.
He didn’t quite understand what “cute” meant, but he could understand the word “contrast” a little.
The Hinata on the screen was indeed very different from the Hinata he had in mind!
One was as shy as a bunny, and the other was… well… bold as… what? He couldn’t think of it.
However, this huge contrast did make him feel…very novel, very shocked, and also…very…
He felt his cheeks getting hot again, and his heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.
He shook his head, trying to drive out those messy thoughts from his mind, but the various images of the “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen were like a brand, deeply engraved in his mind and could not be shaken off.
Just as everyone was still savoring the accurate assessment of “a seductive heart beneath an innocent exterior, the ultimate in cute contrast,” and generating all sorts of different associations and reactions to it—
On the screen, light flashed again!
Below that line of golden evaluation text, another line appeared… more specific and more shocking information!
It was a line…also glittering with gold, with a bit of coldness and objectivity…ratings!
“Succubus Index: 75 points”
Just five simple words and a specific number.
But it was like a bombshell dropped into a calm lake (although the lake was no longer calm), which once again triggered a small-scale, but even more intense discussion and…controversy in the square!
“Seven…seventy-five points?!”
“Succubus Index? What is that? It sounds amazing!”
“Seventy-five points… Is this score high or low?”
“What’s the full score? 100?”
“What are the criteria for this assessment? Is it based on her clothing? Her eyes? Or her… skills?”
Various discussions filled with curiosity, confusion, and a hint of…excitement quickly spread among the young ninjas.
They were very interested in this sudden “Succubus Index” and the specific “75 points”, and were speculating about what secrets were hidden behind this scoring system.
Some people think that this score is too high.
“Tsk, 75 points? I think it’s only 60 at most! Although she’s quite… quite that, but… I still feel like there’s something missing.” A young ninja who seemed rather mature, or rather, thought he knew a lot about “women”, curled his lips and said in a pretentious tone. Of course, as he said this, his eyes couldn’t help but glance at the seductive smile frozen on the screen several times.
Others felt that the score was too low.
“What? Only 75 points?! Are you kidding! I think it should be at least 90 points! Didn’t you see? Her performance just now was simply… simply… amazing! I have never seen such a… such a charming woman in my life!” A young man with a red face and thick neck due to excessive excitement retorted loudly, his eyes full of fanatical admiration for the “Hinata” on the screen.
Chapter 41 This question deserves careful study! (Old version)
Some more active people began to wonder about the scoring criteria of the “Succubus Index” and what the full score of this system is.
“If 75 points is this level, then if a ‘Succubus’ can get 90 points, or even a perfect 100 points, how stunning would she be… peerless and gorgeous? Awesome?”
They couldn’t help but start to picture in their minds the image of that… peerless beauty who existed only in legends, capable of captivating everyone and bringing disaster to the country and its people. Their eyes were filled with longing and… a hint of fear.
And when Jiraiya (if he was present at the moment) saw the evaluation of “Succubus Index: 75 points”, his eyes, which always had a bit of mischief, suddenly lit up!
He stroked his chin with interest, a smile full of amusement and… a hint of “professionalism” appeared on the corner of his mouth.
“Oh wow wow… Interesting! Interesting! There’s actually such a thing as a ‘succubus index’! And it even gives a specific rating! Not bad! Not bad! This rating system really interests me!”
He was like a child who had discovered a new toy, with excitement glittering in his eyes.
He even began to silently calculate in his mind, if he used this standard, how many points would each of the “varied types” of women he had met in the process of collecting materials get?
Well… this question is worth studying carefully!
Perhaps, he could also introduce this “Succubus Index Rating System” into his future new intimate series work that is about to make a sensation in the ninja world?
Well, this idea seems… quite good!
The more Jiraiya thought about it, the more excited he became. He had even begun to conceive related chapters and plots in his mind.
He didn’t notice at all that the Third Hokage and Tsunade beside him (if they were present) couldn’t help but have a few black lines on their foreheads when they saw his “obscene” smile and “malicious” eyes, and at the same time a thought arose in their minds – what kind of mess is this old pervert thinking about again!
When the precise commentary on the screen, “A seductive heart beneath an innocent exterior, the ultimate in cute contrast,” and the specific rating of “Succubus Index: 75 points” that followed, struck the hearts of everyone in the square like two heavy hammers, triggering waves of exclamations, discussions, and controversy—
In real life, Hinata Hyuga has become… a little numb to these so-called “evaluations” on the screen.
No, perhaps the word “numb” is not accurate.
To be more precise, her spirit has suffered too great, too frequent, and too intensive an impact, so that her brain can no longer make any effective response to these new stimuli.
Her senses seemed to be wrapped in a thick, cold barrier filled with despair. Everything in the outside world became vague and unreal, distant and irrelevant.
In her world, there was only endless shame and despair that surged like a tide and almost completely drowned her.
It felt like being stripped naked and thrown onto a busy street, forced to accept malicious and mocking gazes from all sides, as well as those unbearable pointing and criticism.
She felt like a… a dirty, lowly, shameless… monster nailed to the pillar of shame, for people to watch and spit on.
She no longer cares about the “contrasting cuteness”.
This word sounded somewhat fresh and even had some positive connotations, but to her, it seemed to be a ruthless mockery of her usual purity and shyness, which were all a kind of… hypocritical disguise.
She doesn’t care about “75 points” anymore.
This specific number meant nothing to her. Whether it was higher or lower, it could not change the immense humiliation and pain she was enduring at that moment.
She even felt that this rating itself was a kind of…trampling and insult to her personality.
Her only thought now was that she hoped all this would end quickly.
She hoped that the damn black screen emitting an ominous light would disappear from her sight immediately.
I hope those eyes full of various meanings can be moved away from her.
I hope that those unbearable discussions can stop completely.
She just wanted to be completely free from this terrible, endless nightmare.
Even if… even if she died immediately, it would be a thousand times better than living like this, enduring this torture worse than death!
Just when the specific score of “Succubus Index: 75 points” was like the last straw that completely crushed Hinata Hyuga’s nerves that were already on the verge of collapse in reality –
Her body, already crumbling from extreme shame and fear, could no longer withstand the successive huge blows.
I just felt a black screen in front of my eyes, and all my strength seemed to be drained away in an instant.
Her legs went limp, unable to support the weight of her body any longer. Like a puppet with its strings cut, she collapsed completely onto the cold and hard ground of the square.
There was a soft “plop” sound.
Although the sound was not loud, it was unusually clear in this relatively quiet environment (at least it was relatively quiet around her).
Hinata collapsed to the ground, but she didn’t just faint from weakness like before.
Instead, it curled up into a small ball like a poor little animal that was seriously injured and full of fear and despair towards the whole world.
She used up the last bit of her strength, hugged her bent knees tightly with her arms, and then buried her face deeply, deeply in the small and dark space between her arms and knees.
It seemed that only in this way could she feel a tiny bit of security.
It seems that only in this way can one completely isolate oneself from this cruel world full of malice and humiliation.
Her body was shaking violently and uncontrollably, like the last struggling fallen leaf in the autumn wind, helpless and desperate.
Suppressed, subtle whimpers, like the cry of a kitten, came out intermittently and with difficulty from her arms.
That voice was filled with endless grievances, endless shame, endless fear, and… endless despair.
Those who listen are sad, and those who hear cry.
She seemed to want to completely shut herself off in this way, no longer seeing, no longer hearing, no longer feeling any harm that the world brought her.
Chapter 42 “Damn it! What should I do?” (Old version)
She just wanted to be alone, quietly, hiding in her own small and dark world, licking her long-broken heart.
Just when Hinata Hyuga in reality completely collapsed because she couldn’t bear the huge blows one after another, curled up on the ground, whimpering helplessly like a wounded little animal –
Uzumaki Naruto, who was standing not far from her, felt the inexplicable heat and blushing heartbeat in his heart caused by the “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen replaced by a stronger and purer emotion when he saw her like this – that is, deep worry and… a trace of imperceptible heartache.
Although he is a bit carefree, he is always laughing and seems carefree.
But he is not without emotion or compassion.
Especially for Hinata, the girl who always silently paid attention to him and supported him on weekdays, and even… when he was at his lowest and looked down upon, she would still look at him with eyes that were a little shy, but full of sincerity and encouragement. In his heart, there was always a… special, perhaps even he himself was not fully aware of, goodwill and closeness.
At this moment, when he saw Hinata curled up on the ground, trembling all over, sobbing, looking pitiful and helpless as if she had been abandoned by the whole world, his heart seemed to be pulled hard by something, and the pain made him almost breathless.
He no longer cared about the “contrasting cuteness” or “75 points” on the screen.
He didn’t even bother to think about why the usually shy Hinata had such a “powerful” individual in the parallel world.
His only thought now was – Hinata, very sad, very heartbroken, and very scared.
He had to do something! He had to help her!
However, when he really wanted to do something, he found himself… at a loss, completely not knowing what to do.
He stood beside Hinata, anxious like an ant on a hot pan, scratching his head and pacing around.
He wanted to say something to comfort her, to tell her not to cry, that everything would be okay.
But when the words came to my lips, they felt so pale and powerless, so… clumsy and ridiculous.
What he is best at is using his loud voice and some ridiculous jokes to liven up the atmosphere, or solving all troubles with a bowl of hot ramen.
But now, these methods are obviously not applicable.
He didn’t even know why Hinata was crying so sadly (although he could probably guess a little because of what was on the screen).
He didn’t even know what he should say to truly comfort her and make her feel better.
“Damn it! What should I do?” Naruto stomped his feet anxiously. His face, which always had a sunny smile, was now filled with anxiety and helplessness.
Finally, after hesitating for a long time, he finally plucked up the courage and squatted down awkwardly.
His gaze fell on the petite figure that was curled up in a small ball, trembling all over, and making suppressed sobs. His eyes were full of worry and… a hint of pity.
He stretched out his hand, the hand that he always used to make seals or wave his fists, but now seemed a little stiff and… at a loss.
He hesitated for a moment, and finally gently and tentatively placed his hand on Hinata’s violently trembling, thin shoulder.
Then, gently, patted it.
His movements were light and gentle, with a touch of caution, for fear of disturbing the already fragile girl.
When Naruto’s palm gently fell on Hinata’s violently trembling shoulder, and he stammered out those clumsy and direct words of comfort in a voice that he thought was the most gentle and comforting –
“Hina, Hinata… don’t cry… that thing on the screen… is definitely not the real you… it’s the bad guys who did it… don’t, don’t take it to heart…”
For Hinata Hyuga, who was immersed in endless shame and despair at this moment, Naruto’s words and the warmth and strength coming from his palm, although weak, were real, like… a ray of weak sunlight that suddenly appeared in the freezing cold winter, or like a faint starlight that suddenly lit up in the dark and boundless abyss of despair.
Although, this ray of sunshine could not immediately dispel all the coldness in her heart.
Although, this little starlight could not immediately illuminate all the darkness before her eyes.
However, it allowed her to feel a trace of… extremely faint, yet extremely precious… warmth and hope when she was on the verge of complete despair.
Naruto’s comfort was indeed clumsy, direct, and even a little… childish and ridiculous.
He did not use any flowery words, nor did he speak of any profound truths.
He just told her in his simplest and most sincere way that he believed her, he knew that the person on the screen was not her, and asked her not to be sad.
This kind of… unreserved, almost blind trust and protection is undoubtedly… the most effective and touching medicine for Hinata, who is currently the target of public criticism and surrounded by countless strange looks and criticisms.
Her body, which was trembling violently due to extreme shame and fear, seemed to…really tremble less violently after feeling the warmth of Naruto’s palm and hearing his clumsy words of comfort.
Although the amplitude is very small and almost imperceptible, it is indeed… easing.
Her suppressed, subtle sobs also seemed to… pause for a moment.
But she still didn’t look up.
She still buried her face deeply in her arms, unwilling to let anyone see her miserable and tearful appearance.
Especially…I don’t want Naruto-kun to see it.
She was afraid that if she looked up and saw Naruto-kun’s worried eyes, she would…she would lose control of her emotions even more, cry even harder, and be even more…embarrassed.
She was also afraid that if she raised her head, Naruto would see her red and swollen eyes, her pale and haggard face, and her desperate eyes that had completely lost all their luster and vitality.
She didn’t want… she didn’t want Naruto-kun to see her in such a miserable state.
Therefore, she could only respond to Naruto’s comfort in this way – that is, to calm her body a little and stop shaking so violently.
This is the best effort she can make at this moment.
And just as Uzumaki Naruto squatted awkwardly on the ground, trying to comfort the completely collapsed Hyuga Hinata in his own unique way –
Chapter 43: But an… Outsider? ? (Old Version)
In the square, some other people who were paying attention to the situation here showed different, yet somewhat complicated expressions when they saw Naruto’s action.
Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino, these two girls who always play and fight with Naruto on weekdays but care about him very much at critical moments, when they saw Naruto’s helpless look and his clumsy attempt to comfort Hinata, a trace of… extremely complicated emotions flashed in their eyes.
There was surprise – they hadn’t expected that the usually careless, thick-skinned Naruto, who had no idea what girls were thinking, would actually have such a… “gentle” and “considerate” side. Although his way of comforting was indeed clumsy, the worry and concern that came from the heart was real.
There is comfort – they may feel that this last-place student who always gets into trouble seems… to have finally grown up a little and knows how to care about and take care of others.
There is also a hint of… something hard to explain, maybe envy, maybe jealousy, maybe… something else, a complicated feeling.
They looked at Hinata, who was curled up on the ground and being clumsily comforted by Naruto, and each of them had some… different associations and feelings in their hearts.
Kakashi Hatake, the senior ninja teacher who always wears a lazy mask but whose eyes often sparkle with wisdom, when he saw his student Uzumaki Naruto, who was able to ignore the eyes and comments of the people around him and take the initiative to care for and comfort his companion in trouble at this time, his exposed eye involuntarily curved into an arc of relief.
He nodded gently, thinking to himself, “Well, this kid… after all, has some good points.”
He knew that although Naruto seemed careless and unreliable on weekdays, when faced with major issues and when his companions needed help, he could always burst out with amazing courage and…kindness.
This is perhaps his most valuable quality.
The Hyuga clan’s patriarch, Hyuga Hiashi, and the Hyuga clan’s genius, Hyuga Neji, when they saw that Uzumaki Naruto, an “outsider”, actually took the initiative to lend a helping hand when someone in their Hyuga family (even though it was Hinata, whom they usually didn’t think much of) needed comfort and help the most, their feelings became even more… complicated and contradictory.
Hinata Hiashi still had that sullen expression on his face, which was intimidating without him even getting angry.
He looked at the yellow-haired boy squatting on the ground, clumsily patting his daughter’s shoulder, and a very subtle, almost imperceptible, snort came out of his nostrils.
That cold snort might have come from his usual contempt and disdain for Uzumaki Naruto, the “last-place” one.
Perhaps it was because he was a little dissatisfied with Naruto’s “meddling” behavior at the moment.
Or perhaps it was… a subtle sense of “jealousy” and “loss” as a father, one he himself wasn’t even aware of? – Why, when his daughter needed comfort the most, was it not him, the father, who offered a helping hand, but an… outsider?
However, deep in his bloodshot eyes, a ray of extremely complex and incomprehensible light flashed involuntarily.
In that light, there seemed to be surprise, confusion, incomprehension, and also a hint of… imperceptible, perhaps even unwilling to admit it himself… gratitude?
After all, no matter what, Naruto’s behavior at this moment was objectively helping his daughter and trying to alleviate her pain.
He couldn’t deny this.
Hyuga Neji’s mood was also extremely complicated.
He looked at Uzumaki Naruto, who he usually regarded as a “slacker” and an “idiot”, and saw that he could put aside all his prejudices and concerns and comfort his cousin, who he also regarded as “cowardly and incompetent”. In his heart, there surged an indescribable, mixed feeling.
On the one hand, he still felt that Naruto’s behavior was “stupid” and that he was meddling in other people’s affairs. When was it his turn as an outsider to interfere in the affairs of the Hyuga family?
But on the other hand, he had to admit that the kind of… pure kindness and courage that Naruto showed at this moment was something he… did not possess.
He even wondered, if it were him, would he, like Naruto, desperately comfort a companion who…was not very close to him and had even been deeply hurt by him?
This realization caused the pride in his heart that came from his genius to be slightly shaken at this moment.
He looked at Naruto’s back, and for the first time, his eyes contained less contempt and more…an indescribable scrutiny and…confusion.
In short, Uzumaki Naruto’s action, which seemed clumsy but was actually full of sincerity and goodwill, once again triggered complex reactions and thoughts from different groups of people and from different angles in the square.
All of this is just a small microcosm of the countless chain reactions brought about by this absurd and weird “Inventory of Succubi in Parallel Worlds”.
The real good show, or rather, the real nightmare, seems… far from over.
Just as Uzumaki Naruto was clumsily comforting Hyuga Hinata, who had completely collapsed and curled up on the ground, and just as the people around him were having all kinds of complicated and incomprehensible reactions and thoughts because of Naruto’s action –
The head of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hiashi, when he saw his daughter, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga main family and one of the future heirs, acting so out of control and weak in front of the whole village, and even… even needed to be comforted and supported by Uzumaki Naruto, the “tail end” who was good for nothing and only caused trouble in his eyes, the anger in his heart that had already been pent up because of the damage to the family’s reputation, was like adding fuel to the fire, and it soared up!
He could no longer remain silent!
He could no longer suppress the anger and… shame in his heart that was almost burning his sanity to ashes!
“snort–!!!”
A cold snort filled with dissatisfaction, warning, and deep disappointment suddenly shot out from Hinata Hiashi’s nostrils like an icy sharp arrow!
Although the sound was not loud, it was unusually clear and…harsh in this relatively quiet environment (at least the Hyuga tribe members around him did not dare to make any sound).
This cold snort was like an invisible whip, lashing the hearts of every Hyuga clan member present, causing them to tremble involuntarily and remain silent.
They all knew clearly that their clan leader, Lord Hyuga Hiashi, was really angry at this moment! Moreover, he was extremely angry!
Chapter 44: Hyuga Hinata! Be aware of your identity! (Old version)
This cold snort was directed directly at the person who was curled up on the ground and was still being clumsily comforted by Uzumaki Naruto… his daughter, Hyuga Hinata.
The snort was filled with strong dissatisfaction with her “weak” and “inappropriate” behavior at the moment.
As if silently, yet sternly warning her——
“Hyuga Hinata! You better be aware of your identity! You are the eldest daughter of the Hyuga family! The future heir! How can you act so… vulnerable! So… shameful! ” in front of so many people!
“The Hyuga family’s reputation! The dignity of the Hyuga clan! You’ve completely disgraced them all!”
He absolutely cannot tolerate Hinata Hiashi! He absolutely cannot accept it!
He, the heir of the Hyuga clan and the future head of the main family, actually acted so weak and incompetent, so… unteachable, just because of such a “little thing” (in his opinion, those things on the screen were just things in the illusory parallel world, not worth making such a fuss about, let alone breaking down and crying for them)!
This made him feel unprecedented disappointment and… anger towards Hinata, his eldest daughter whom he once had high hopes for (although these hopes had long been replaced by disappointment)!
He even felt that Hinata’s behavior at this moment was even more unbearable than the various “unbearable” behaviors of the “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen!
Because, after all, what is on the screen is just a “false illusion”.
But the one in front of him is his biological daughter who truly has his Hinata Hiashi’s blood flowing in her veins!
Her weakness is a shame to Hyuga Hiashi! It is a shame to the entire Hyuga clan!
However, just as Hinata Hiashi uttered that cold snort filled with dissatisfaction and warning, just as he used his bloodshot eyes, filled with anger, to coldly stare at his daughter curled up on the ground, preparing to “judge” and “condemn” her even more harshly in his heart –
When his eyes accidentally swept across Hinata’s eyes that had become red and swollen due to long crying, swept across her little face that had become as pale as paper and bloodless due to extreme shame and fear, and swept across her shoulders that looked even thinner and more helpless due to violent trembling –
Hinata Hiashi’s heart, which had become hard and cold due to anger and disappointment, trembled involuntarily and very slightly at this moment.
Deep in his eyes, beneath that cold pool filled with disappointment and anger, a trace of extremely complex and indescribable emotion flashed across his face very obscurely and reluctantly… an extremely complex and indescribable emotion that he himself was almost not aware of.
There was still disappointment in that – disappointment in the fact that his eldest daughter was “useless”.
There was still anger—anger at her eldest daughter for “shaming herself”.
However, behind the disappointment and anger, a trace of… extremely weak, like a candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time… fatherly love and compassion quietly grew.
Yes, fatherly love.
No matter how harsh, cold, or disappointed he usually was towards Hinata.
No matter how angry and dissatisfied he was with Hinata’s performance at the moment.
One unchangeable fact is…
He, Hyuga Hiashi, is Hyuga Hinata’s father after all.
And the girl who was curled up on the ground, crying her heart out, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world, was his biological daughter after all.
Blood is thicker than water. This connection that comes from deep within the bloodline cannot be easily severed by any external force.
Seeing his daughter suffering such immense pain and torture, how could he possibly remain calm and indifferent?
His heart, as hard as iron, would eventually feel a little sting and pity when faced with his daughter’s desperate and helpless tears.
Although, this reluctance was quickly suppressed by his strong rationality and sense of responsibility as the head of the clan.
But, it did… exist.
This complex and contradictory emotion caused Hinata Hiashi’s heart to fall into even more intense struggle and…pain.
He didn’t know how he should face this…daughter who made him disappointed, angry, heartbroken and reluctant.
He also didn’t know what decision he should make next in order to maintain the honor and dignity of the Hyuga clan and at the same time… not push his already fragile daughter into the abyss of despair.
Just as Hyuga Hiashi was deeply struggling and weighing the pros and cons of his complex and contradictory feelings towards Hinata –
A more realistic and cruel question began to gradually emerge in his mind.
That is the decision regarding Hinata Hyuga and the future heir of the Hyuga main family.
Hinata Hyuga, as the eldest daughter of the Hyuga main family, should be the first heir to the main family in the future according to family tradition.
However, her cowardly and introverted character, as well as her unsatisfactory performance in training, had already caused Hinata Hiashi to have deep doubts and dissatisfaction with her identity as the “heir”.
He even considered in his mind more than once whether he should give the position of heir to his second daughter, Hinata Hanabi, who was more talented and had more “family style”.
And what happened today is undoubtedly… adding insult to injury.
Hinata’s… vulnerable weakness and collapse in the face of this sudden “crisis” made Hyuga Hiashi even more completely disappointed in her ability as a ninja and as a leader who might have to shoulder the responsibility of the entire family in the future.
In his opinion, a qualified leader should maintain a cool head, a strong will, and… the determination to never give up when facing any difficulties and challenges.
Hinata, obviously… does not possess these qualities at all.
What’s more, although the various “unbearable” contents about the “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen were not done by the real Hinata, it is undeniable that these contents have caused immeasurable damage to the reputation of the Hyuga clan.
It is foreseeable that for a long time in the future, the name Hyuga Hinata will be associated with negative words such as “succubus”, “seduction”, and “indecent”, and will become a laughing stock and topic of conversation in the entire ninja world.
The Hyuga clan will also suffer great humiliation and criticism because of this.
Under such circumstances, if Hinata Hyuga is allowed to continue to serve as the heir to the main family, it would undoubtedly be… extremely irresponsible to the future and reputation of the entire Hyuga clan!
Chapter 45: Stop Crying! Stop Pretending! (Old Version)
Hinata Hiashi, as the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, must, and must, make the most rational and most… cruel decision based on the overall interests of the clan.
He began to carefully weigh the pros and cons in his mind.
On the one hand, it is the glory and reputation accumulated by the family for hundreds of years, and the status and future of the Hyuga clan in Konoha Village and even the entire ninja world.
On the other hand, there is his daughter, who, although she is not very good, is still his own flesh and blood…
How should he choose between the two?
If he chose to maintain the family’s honor and reputation, then he would have to…completely give up Hinata, deprive her of all qualifications as the heir to the main family, and even…possibly have to impose some form of “punishment” on her to appease the elders’ anger, set an example, and show the outside world the Hyuga clan’s determination to “clean up its house.”
But doing so would undoubtedly push Hinata into the abyss of despair, and might even… ruin her life.
Can he really be so cruel?
And if he chose… to give Hinata a break, out of respect for their father-daughter relationship, then how would he explain this to the elders of his family? How would he explain this to the ancestors of the Hyuga clan? And how would he face the outside world filled with mockery and doubt?
How can the reputation of the Hyuga clan be restored?
This was a…difficult, painful, and almost breathtaking decision.
Hinata Hiashi’s heart felt as if it was being torn apart by two huge forces, making him feel dizzy and… suffocated.
His face became even gloomier and… paler.
(A voiceover appears on the screen: “Who says a young lady can’t be passionate? It’s just that you haven’t seen it.”)
Just as the atmosphere in the square fell into a strange state of… depression yet a subtle relaxation due to Hinata Hyuga’s complete collapse in reality and Naruto Uzumaki’s clumsy consolation –
That damn black screen, which seemed to never think things were big enough, started jumping again… restlessly!
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in the dark area above the screen!
Then, a line of… eye-catching white text narration full of provocation, even with a hint of gloating and adding fuel to the fire, slowly emerged like a ghost!
The line of white text is as follows:
“Who says a young lady can’t be passionate? It’s just that you haven’t seen it.”
This sentence was like a barbed fishhook thrown into a calm lake (although the lake was no longer calm, but at least there was a temporary respite after Hinata fainted)!
It is not just stating a “fact” (or, rather, a “fact” unilaterally determined by the screen).
It was more like… a naked, undisguised response to the great shock and disbelief that everyone in the square had felt because of the amazing performances of the “Hinata from the parallel world” on the screen!
It seems to be mercilessly mocking and…slapping the faces of those who think that “Hyuga Hinata would never do such a thing”!
It also seemed like it was mercilessly provoking and…contemptuous of those Hyuga clan members, especially the elders, who were furious and angry because their family’s reputation was damaged!
It was as if saying, “Do you think you know her well? Do you think your family rules are so strict? Humph! You are just a bunch of pitiful people who have been kept in the dark! You have never seen the fire deep in her heart!”
Even this sentence, to the real Hinata Hyuga who had completely collapsed due to shame and anger, curled up on the ground, unconscious, seemed like a kind of… cruel, merciless, secondary stimulation!
It was as if telling her, “Stop crying! Stop pretending! Deep down, you also long to be as passionate and unrestrained as the ‘you’ on the screen, don’t you? It’s just that you don’t dare to admit it or show it!”
This provocative narration was like dropping another bombshell on the already chaotic square!
In an instant, the subtle relaxing atmosphere created by Hinata’s fainting was completely broken!
This once again triggered more intense and more… complicated discussions and thoughts among the crowd!
When the provocative narration – “Who says a young lady can’t be passionate? It’s just that you haven’t seen it.” – pierced the hearts of everyone present like a sharp sword, a burst of uncontrollable discussion broke out in the square again.
This time, the focus of people’s discussion was no longer just the amazing performances of the “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen, but began to shift to… the specific meaning of the word “young lady” in the real Hyuga Hinata, and whether under her seemingly weak and introverted appearance, there was really… some unknown true nature suppressed.
“The eldest lady…Hyuga Hinata, is indeed the eldest lady of the Hyuga main family…”
“So, if she’s usually so shy and introverted, could it really be because the family’s rules are too strict and they’ve suppressed her?”
“Hmm… that makes sense! Think about it, which girl doesn’t love beauty? Which girl doesn’t want to live more… more freely? A conservative family like the Hyuga family must have a lot of rules and regulations that restrict her, right?”
Some ninjas who were originally simply shocked and curious about the content on the screen, after seeing this narration, began to look at the real Hinata Hyuga with a more “human” and “sympathetic” perspective.
They began to feel that perhaps, the Hinata who always kept her head down and spoke softly was not her true self.
Perhaps, deep down in her heart, she also hides a heart that longs for freedom, passion, and even desires to live as wildly and ostentatiously as the “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen?
It was only because of the pressure from her family, the constraints of her environment, and her cowardly character that she had to deeply suppress and hide her true nature, only showing that… weak and vulnerable appearance.
If this is true, then… then Hinata in real life is actually quite pitiful.
She must be living a very hard and depressing life.
Some ninjas who were more sensitive, or more compassionate, after having such associations, looked at Hinata, who was curled up on the ground and was still being clumsily comforted by Naruto, and couldn’t help but feel a little more…pity and understanding in their eyes.
Chapter 46 “Outrageous! Absolutely too outrageous!” (Old version)
They even began to agree with the narrator’s statement—perhaps the everyday Hinata truly did hide many unknown sides. And while the “Hinata of the parallel world” on the screen might appear somewhat… extreme and outrageous, perhaps… that was a reflection of her true inner desires?
Of course, there are also some ninjas who are more rational, or who do not agree with this “conspiracy theory”. They still think that the content on the screen is nonsense and is malicious slander and defamation by the mastermind behind the scenes.
They believe that Hinata in real life is a pure, kind, shy and introverted girl. The alluring “succubus” on the screen has nothing to do with her at all!
This aside is nothing more than a smokescreen deliberately thrown out by the mastermind behind the scenes in order to further confuse the public and sow discord!
As for Uzumaki Naruto, when he saw this sudden narration, his mind, which was already a little confused because of Hinata’s collapse, became even more… confused and bewildered.
He scratched his messy blond hair, a big question mark appearing on his face.
“Young lady? Passionate? Never seen it before?”
He had no idea what the words on the screen meant.
In his opinion, Hinata is Hinata. Although she is shy and speaks softly, she is a good person! She works hard and is kind! That’s enough!
As for what is “passionate” or “a side you’ve never seen before”, he has no idea about it and doesn’t think it’s important.
He just felt that the things on the screen made Hinata very sad.
And he didn’t want to see Hinata sad.
Therefore, the only thing he wanted to do now was to stop Hinata from crying and make her happy again.
As for the messy narration and comments on the screen, he was too lazy to pay attention to them!
That’s all the bad guys’ fault! That must be the case!
In short, this provocative narration is like throwing a huge rock into an already turbulent lake, stirring up even more violent waves and… more complex ripples.
It makes people have some… new and deeper thoughts and… speculations about the real Hinata Hyuga and the image she usually presents.
And this “Parallel World Succubus Inventory” dominated by the mysterious screen, full of unknowns and malice, its true influence and purpose are beginning to become more and more… confusing and elusive.
When that provocative narration – “Who says a young lady can’t be passionate? It’s just that you haven’t seen it.” – pierced the hearts of every Hyuga clan member like a poisoned blade, their pent-up anger due to the damage to their family’s reputation was like being thrown into a high explosive, and instantly erupted into a more violent and more… uncontrollable flame!
If we say that the various shameful performances of the “Hinata from the parallel world” on the screen before only made them feel ashamed, angry and desperate.
Then, this narration full of sarcasm and contempt is like sprinkling salt on their wounds, and then using a red-hot iron to mercilessly burn them over and over again!
“This is outrageous! This is simply outrageous–!!!”
The Hyuga clan elders, those who usually valued the family’s reputation and rules above all else, could no longer maintain any composure or rationality. They were trembling with rage, their faces turning the color of liver, as if their blood vessels were about to burst and they would die instantly.
They stretched out their trembling fingers, pointing intently at the damned black screen and the glaring white text on it. Using all their strength, they roared with grief, indignation, and despair:
“How outrageous! How outrageous!”
“This… this is simply a blatant provocation to my Hyuga clan! It is a blatant mockery of my Hyuga clan’s family rules and traditions!”
“What do you mean by ‘young ladies shouldn’t be passionate’? What do you mean by ‘it’s just that you haven’t seen it’? This… this is clearly saying that our Hyuga clan has suppressed Hinata’s nature! It’s our Hyuga clan’s way of education that has led to her usual ‘cowardly’ appearance!”
“Nonsense! This is complete nonsense! The rules of our Hyuga clan are passed down from our ancestors and are the most sacred and correct! How can we allow you, the lowly ones, to spread rumors and mislead the public, slandering us wantonly!”
These elders completely interpreted the narration on the screen as a naked attack and denial of their Hyuga clan’s educational philosophy and family traditions!
In their opinion, the reason why Hinata Hyuga usually behaves so “weak and introverted” is not because of her “suppressed nature”, but because she is “unmotivated”, “useless”, and “has failed the bloodline and expectations of the main family”!
The so-called “passionate” “Hinata of the parallel world” on the screen is not a “liberated nature” at all, but… a kind of depravity! A kind of debauchery! A defilement and blasphemy of the noble bloodline of the Hyuga clan!
Therefore, when they saw this narration, which implicitly attributed the responsibility to the “constraints” and “suppression” of their Hyuga clan, one can naturally imagine the anger in their hearts!
They felt that the intentions of this damn screen and the unknown manipulator behind it were extremely sinister!
It is not just to humiliate Hinata Hyuga personally, it is not just to ruin the reputation of the Hyuga clan!
What’s more, it must… fundamentally and completely overturn the traditions, values, and… the foundation of survival that have been passed down by the Hyuga clan for hundreds of years!
This is something they absolutely cannot tolerate or accept!
Hyuga Hiashi, the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, when he heard this narration full of provocation and sarcasm, his face, which was already gloomy enough to drip water, instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, as if frost could condense.
His eyes, bloodshot from anger, stared intently at the glaring white text on the screen. Deep within his eyes, there was a murderous intent and… a barely perceptible, deep fatigue.
His fists clenched tightly again uncontrollably, his knuckles turning white from excessive force, and even making a crisp “crackling” sound.
He could clearly feel that the chakra in his body was surging uncontrollably due to extreme anger, as if it could burst out of his body at any time and destroy everything around it!
Chapter 47 “Ouch!!!!” (Old Version)
He felt that he was about to be driven completely crazy by this damn screen and the unknown manipulator behind it!
The other party’s methods are too clever, and too… vicious!
It not only humiliates them with those disgusting images, but also uses this seemingly unintentional, but actually full of hints and guidance, narration to spiritually undermine the faith and pride of the Hyuga clan!
This… murderous and heart-breaking attack made him feel an unprecedented sense of powerlessness and… despair.
For the first time, he felt a little…deep worry about the future of the Hyuga clan.
(Ya whistled and was stepped on by Akamaru.)
Just as the Hyuga clan was once again thrown into collective rage and out of control by that provocative aside, and just as the atmosphere in the square became even more tense and oppressive due to this sudden secondary stimulation—
An extremely inappropriate, even somewhat suicidal voice suddenly rang out among the crowd.
“call out–!!!”
A clear and loud whistle, like a sudden thunder in the silent midnight, instantly broke the eerie silence (or rather, the suppressed noise) in the square and was clearly heard by everyone.
The person who whistled was none other than the one who was usually known for being “rough-minded” and “stupid”… Inuzuka Kiba!
When Inuzuka Kiba saw the narration on the screen, “Who says a young lady can’t be passionate? It’s just that you haven’t seen it.”, his head, which had already become a little excited and restless because of the amazing performances of the “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen, became even more… excited as if it had been injected with chicken blood!
He subconsciously connected this narration with the various “passionate” actions displayed by the “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen before – such as the shocking “provocative eye-rolling” and the kiss full of charm and provocation after the victory in the battle.
Then, in his not-so-bright mind, he came to a conclusion that seemed “reasonable” to him –
“Oh! So that’s how it is! No wonder the Hinata on the screen is so… so powerful! It turns out she’s actually very passionate deep down, but she usually suppresses it, so we never see it!”
“So… the one on the screen is actually Hinata’s ‘true face’?”
When he thought of this, Inuzuka Kiba’s face couldn’t help but reveal a hint of… a mixture of excitement, sudden enlightenment, and a hint of… an indescribable expression with a bit of obscenity and expectation.
He had no idea how… cruel and disrespectful his thoughts were to Hinata Hyuga in reality and the entire Hyuga clan.
He simply relied on his straightforward character and his slow-witted mind to come to this conclusion…which seemed to be the “truth” in his opinion.
Then, subconsciously and involuntarily, he blew that loud whistle… a whistle full of the meaning of “So that’s it” and “I understand”.
He might even feel that he blew the whistle at the right time, perfectly expressing his feeling of “sudden enlightenment” at the moment.
He had absolutely no ill intentions and had no intention of mocking or provoking anyone.
He just…is just a person of character, and habitually uses this method to express his inner emotions.
I can only say that he really… doesn’t know how to judge the situation.
Inuzuka Kiba’s sudden and extremely inappropriate whistle seemed particularly…harsh and abrupt in the tense and explosive atmosphere at that time.
It’s like a drop of cold water suddenly dropped into a pot of boiling oil, instantly triggering a more violent…explosive reaction!
The Hyuga clan members not far from him, their faces already flushed with anger, instantly darkened when they heard the whistle! They glared at Inuzuka Kiba with eyes that almost looked like they wanted to kill him, as if they couldn’t wait to rush over and devour this ignorant brat alive!
“Asshole! Are you looking for death?!”
And Inuzuka Kiba’s closest companion, the ninja dog Akamaru, seemed to have sensed the “inappropriateness” and “danger” of his master’s behavior at the moment.
Although it has a dog’s brain, at times, it is smarter than its owner’s.
It could clearly feel the icy murderous aura emanating from the Hyuga clan members around it, which was almost materializing!
It also knew that its master had once again done inappropriate things and said inappropriate words at inappropriate times (although this time it was just a whistle).
So, just as Inuzuka Kiba finished blowing that loud whistle, with that silly smile of “sudden enlightenment” still on his face, completely unaware that he was in great trouble –
Akamaru, decisively, took action!
I saw its furry, cute little head move slightly.
Then, it raised one of its front paws. That paw, which looked chubby but was actually quite powerful, stepped on the instep of Inuzuka Kiba’s foot, which was wearing ninja shoes, neither lightly nor heavily, but just right!
“Ouch!” (Step on it!)
At the same time, a low whimper full of warning and dissatisfaction came from Akamaru’s throat.
It was as if saying, “Stupid master! You’re courting death again! Shut up!”
“Ouch–!!!”
The sudden sharp pain from the instep of his foot and the warning whimper from Akamaru in his ear finally sobered up Inuzuka Kiba’s overly excited head a little.
He cried out in pain and subconsciously hugged his stepped foot. The silly smile of “sudden realization” on his face instantly turned into a grimace of pain.
It was at this moment that he belatedly realized the icy murderous aura emanating from the Hyuga clan members around him, which was as tangible as ice!
And… the looks his teammates gave him were filled with helplessness and “you’re in trouble again.”
Only then did Inuzuka Kiba realize that the whistle he had just blew seemed… to be very inappropriate, very… inappropriate.
It seemed like he had… once again, unintentionally stirred up a hornet’s nest.
Chapter 48: Inuzuka Kiba! You Idiot! (Old Version)
He quickly stretched out his other hand and covered his mouth tightly with it. An extremely embarrassed smile, with a bit of flattery and guilt, appeared on his face. He waved his hands repeatedly at the Hyuga people who were glaring at him, indicating that he had no ill intentions, but just… he couldn’t help it for a moment.
Of course, at this time, his explanation would only seem to be…adding fuel to the fire.
Inuzuka Kiba’s untimely whistle and the slightly funny interaction between him and Akamaru, although to a certain extent attracted the attention of some people around and temporarily diverted their attention from the screen, it also made the atmosphere in the square even more… weird and tense.
Kurenai Yuhi, as the instructor of Class 8, when she heard the loud whistle of Inuzuka Kiba, her pretty face, which was already full of fatigue and bitterness because of her worry about Hinata, instantly became gloomy.
She turned her head suddenly and glared at Inuzuka Kiba with a look full of dissatisfaction, warning, and “hate iron but not steel”.
That look seemed to say, “Inuzuka Kiba! You idiot! Can’t you see what kind of situation we are in?! Don’t you think things are chaotic enough?!”
If looks could kill, Inuzuka Kiba would have been chopped into pieces by Kurenai Yuhi by now.
And Aburame Shino, who was standing next to Inuzuka Kiba, just shook his head helplessly and gently when he saw his rough teammate “drop the ball” again at the critical moment and make such an inappropriate move.
Although his face, which was always hidden by sunglasses, did not show many changes in expression, from his slightly pursed lips and the barely perceptible sigh, one could still sense his deep powerlessness and headache towards Inuzuka Kiba’s stubborn and recalcitrant character.
He reached out and gently patted Inuzuka Kiba’s shoulder, then lowered his voice and warned him in his usual calm tone, which was also filled with a subtle warning:
“Ya, be aware of the situation. Now is not the time for you to show your ‘excitement’.”
The implication is that he should behave himself and stop causing trouble.
Inuzuka Kiba was glared at fiercely by Yuhi Kurenai, and was reminded so “earnestly” by Aburame Shino. Coupled with the still dull pain on the back of his foot, he finally realized that this time… he had really gotten into trouble, and the trouble he had caused was not a small one.
He shrank his neck, lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong, and dared not make a sound again.
However, his eyes, which were rolling around, couldn’t help but secretly glance towards the screen and… at Hinata Hyuga who was curled up on the ground not far away and still unconscious.
His heart was still filled with confusion and… a hint of an inexplicable strange feeling.
(Shikamaru: “What a troublesome world…”)
Just as the atmosphere in the square became even more strange and tense because of Inuzuka Kiba’s inappropriate whistle, just as the Hyuga clan once again fell into collective rage and lost control because of that provocative narration, just as Uzumaki Naruto was still clumsily comforting the completely collapsed Hyuga Hinata –
In a relatively inconspicuous corner of the crowd in the square, the young patriarch of the Nara clan, known for his fear of trouble and high intelligence… Nara Shikamaru, was watching all this from afar, somewhat bored.
From the sudden appearance of the strange black screen, which forcibly teleported everyone to this square, to the screen playing one after another those shocking and controversial “inventory” contents about the “Hinata in the parallel world”, to the various reactions and commotions caused by the people in the square… it can be said to be “wonderful”.
Nara Shikamaru always maintained an almost detached, calm, and even somewhat indifferent observation attitude.
He wasn’t shocked, angry, excited, or ashamed by what was on the screen, as others were.
He did not shout, talk, or do anything inappropriate like the others.
He just lay there lazily, his hands behind his head, his eyes half-closed, as if he was watching a farce… that had nothing to do with him, which was a bit bizarre but not particularly interesting…
His brain, perhaps in its own unique way, was working at high speed, analyzing the ins and outs of everything that was happening before his eyes, as well as the truth and purpose that might be hidden behind it.
However, judging from his listless, even sleepy expression, his interest in this “farce” didn’t seem to be that great.
Or rather, he felt that whatever was hidden behind this was… too troublesome.
He would rather lie on the roof of his house and stare at the white clouds in the sky than be involved in this kind of troublesome incident… full of unknowns and variables.
When he saw the provocative narration on the screen – “Who says a young lady can’t be passionate? It’s just that you haven’t seen it.” – it once again caused a commotion in the square and the rage of the Hyuga clan.
When he heard Inuzuka Kiba’s untimely whistle and the series of chain reactions it triggered.
Nara Shikamaru just yawned long and sleepy out of habit.
His eyes, which always looked a little sleepy, glanced boredly at the people around him who seemed to be out of control due to various emotions, and then, bored, he looked up at the sky (although the sky was still blocked by the huge black screen and no clouds could be seen).
He stretched himself, loosening his stiff neck, and then, in a tone that only he could hear, full of helplessness and annoyance, he lazily muttered:
His iconic catchphrase, which best represents his mood at the moment:
“Ah… this is really… so troublesome…”
(Or, as he was more accustomed to saying: “Ah… what a troublesome world…”)
In his opinion, whether it was the “Hinata from the parallel world” who behaved abnormally on the screen, or the Hyuga Hinata in reality who broke down and cried because of this, or the people around him who lost control of their emotions for various reasons, and the whole story…
It’s all… too troublesome.
He didn’t want to get involved at all.
He just wanted to…end it all quickly, go home, find a quiet place, and have a good sleep.
This may be his most real and urgent wish at the moment.
Trouble is everywhere.
Chapter 49: Open-air Movies? (Old Version)
Although Nara Shikamaru kept complaining about “It’s so troublesome” and “What a troublesome world”, and his face always had a lazy, sleepy expression, as if he didn’t care about anything, in fact, his brain with a very high IQ never stopped working for a moment.
He was like an extremely sophisticated computer. Seemingly inadvertently, he had input everything that happened before his eyes – from the sudden appearance of the strange black screen, to forcing all the ninjas to gather here, to the shocking and controversial “inventory” content about the “Hinata in the parallel world” that was played one after another on the screen, as well as the various complex reactions and commotions caused by the people in the square – all of them were input into his brain one by one in detail, and he began high-speed, multi-threaded analysis and processing.
He was analyzing this black screen of unknown origin. What exactly was it? Was it some unknown ninjutsu? Or was it some mysterious and powerful entity that transcended the existing ninja system?
What was its purpose in forcing all of Konoha’s ninjas to gather here? Was it simply to let them watch this… absurd and bizarre “parallel world succubus inventory”? Or was there a deeper, more… sinister plot hidden behind this?
He was analyzing the authenticity of the content displayed on the screen regarding Hinata in a “parallel world.” Did those so-called “parallel worlds” really exist? Or was it just some kind of elaborate psychological warfare and propaganda attack against the Hyuga clan, or perhaps even the entire Konoha Village?
If this information is true, then what does the existence of parallel worlds mean to their world? Will there be other “parallel world inventories”? Will more people be involved?
And if this content is false, then what is the purpose of the person behind the scenes going to such great lengths to fabricate these convincing images and information? Is it simply to humiliate Hinata Hyuga and discredit the Hyuga clan? Or is there a deeper conspiracy that they haven’t yet discovered?
He was also analyzing the long-term impact that this sudden “inventory” might have on Konoha Village.
The Hyuga clan, one of Konoha Village’s oldest, most powerful, and prestigious families, has undoubtedly suffered a severe blow to its reputation and prestige as a result of this incident. Will this affect the Hyuga clan’s standing and influence within the village? Will it trigger unrest and division within the Hyuga clan? Will it be exploited by other villages or other hidden enemies?
What worries Shikamaru even more is that this kind of… openly exposing other people’s “privacy” (even if it is privacy in a parallel world) and displaying it in front of everyone in a way that is almost a “public execution” will have what kind of psychological impact on the ninjas of Konoha Village?
Will it make people suspicious of each other and wary of each other? Will it cause some contradictions and undercurrents that were originally hidden beneath the calm surface to surface, or even… explode completely?
Nara Shikamaru, with his extraordinary keen insight and logical analysis ability, also gained insight into the complexity of human nature and the desires hidden deep in his heart from the diverse and wonderful reactions of the people in the square.
For example, when those young ninjas saw the bold and extraordinary actions of “Hinata from the parallel world”, they showed that kind of… shyness and excitement, resistance and desire, and an instinctive reaction full of hormones.
For example, when faced with this sudden “stimulation”, the adult ninjas displayed a more complex and profound inner world…some were sanctimonious,some were gloating,some were pretending to be calm,some were undercurrents.
For example, when the family’s reputation was trampled upon and traditional values were challenged, the members of the Hyuga clan expressed… anger, shame, despair, and… a hint of unknown hesitation and confusion.
He felt that this seemingly absurd “inventory” was like a… ruthless magic mirror, mercilessly reflecting the unknown undercurrents, desires, contradictions, and various weaknesses of human nature that were usually hidden beneath the calm and peaceful surface of Konoha Village.
And this, perhaps… is the most terrifying and most worthy of vigilance behind this “inventory”.
It’s like dropping stones one after another into a calm lake. The ripples might not be noticeable in the short term, but over time, these ripples could potentially coalesce into massive waves, perhaps even… a raging storm powerful enough to overturn everything!
“Trouble…it’s getting more and more troublesome…” Nara Shikamaru sighed helplessly in his heart again.
He had a premonition that this sudden “inventory” was probably… just the beginning.
Next, no one knows what even more outrageous and more… troublesome things will happen.
And he, as a ninja of Konoha Village, a “smart man” who is afraid of trouble but has to take responsibility at critical moments, I’m afraid… he can’t really stay out of it completely.
This might be what he finds most troublesome.
While Nara Shikamaru was rapidly analyzing the situation in his mind, understanding human nature, and constantly complaining about “trouble” –
Standing not far from him, his two old partners, Choji Akimichi and Ino Yamanaka, also reacted differently to his “lazy” appearance.
Akimichi Chouji, this fat, cheerful, optimistic boy who doesn’t seem to care about anything else except food, is still… eating a big bag of potato chips he took out from somewhere with relish, as if no one is around.
“Crack…Crack…”
The crisp and pleasant sound of the potato chips he chewed made a crunching sound, which seemed a little… out of tune with the tense and depressing atmosphere in the square.
He seemed completely unaware of the tense atmosphere around him, nor did he feel too surprised or uncomfortable by the shocking content on the screen.
He just opened his small eyes which always showed a bit of naiveté and innocence, stuffed potato chips into his mouth, and looked curiously, even with interest, at the “Hinata in the parallel world” on the screen whose image and scene kept changing.
It’s like watching a… well… a relatively novel and exciting… open-air movie?
Chapter 50: Blood-soaked, ominous beads! (Old version)
In response to Nara Shikamaru’s complaint full of helplessness and annoyance, “Ah… What a troublesome world…,” Akimichi Chouji just didn’t care and made an unclear “hmm” sound.
Then he grabbed another handful of potato chips, stuffed them into his mouth, and continued to chew them with a “crunch crunch” sound.
Perhaps, in his opinion, as long as there are potato chips to eat, this world is… not too troublesome.
When Yamanaka Ino heard Nara Shikamaru’s signature complaint full of “sarcasm”, her beautiful big blue eyes suddenly rolled up to the sky.
She stretched out her slender fingers and poked Nara Shikamaru’s arm, which was lazily draped behind his head, with a tone full of dissatisfaction and… a hint of disappointment:
“Hey! Nara Shikamaru! You bastard, it’s already this late and you’re still here making such sarcastic remarks! Aren’t you curious at all? Aren’t you worried at all?!”
Ino really couldn’t understand why this guy, when faced with such a bizarre, strange, and even… a major event that concerns the safety of the entire Konoha Village (at least in her opinion), could still maintain such a… nonchalant and lazy look!
Could it be that, apart from the word “trouble”, his mind can no longer hold anything else? !
Facing Yamanaka Ino’s gaze filled with dissatisfaction and questioning, Nara Shikamaru simply shrugged lazily, lowered his hands from behind his head, and then, in a matter-of-fact, even somewhat helpless tone, replied:
“Curious? Worried? Ah… Ino, don’t you understand yet?”
He yawned and continued slowly, “Curiosity often kills the cat. Worrying brings more trouble.”
“Instead of worrying about it and overthinking it, why not… save some energy and observe carefully to see what this damn screen and the guy behind it are up to?”
“After all…” He paused, a barely perceptible glint flashing in his eyes. “No matter what we think or do now, it seems… we can’t change anything, right?”
The implication is that – since you can’t resist, then… just lie down for the time being and wait and see what happens.
This may be the most “labor-saving” and “least troublesome” way to deal with it.
Yamanaka Ino was so choked by Nara Shikamaru’s twisted logic, which was full of “Shikamaru-style” logic, that she was speechless for a long time.
She opened her mouth and wanted to say something in rebuttal, but in the end, she could only stamp her feet in hatred, turn her head away, and ignore this “hopeless” guy.
She felt that communicating with someone like Nara Shikamaru was even more tiring and… troublesome than watching the “Hinata from the parallel world” on the screen!
(The picture shows a “yandere” Hinata, whose eyes are stubborn and crazy for “Naruto-kun”.)
Just as everyone in the square was thrown into chaos and discussion again because of that provocative aside and Inuzuka Kiba’s inappropriate whistle –
On the screen, the line of white text narration full of sarcasm and suggestion – “Who says a young lady can’t be passionate? It’s just that you haven’t seen it.” – gradually became blurred like smoke blown away by the breeze, and then… slowly disappeared.
Instead, there was another… brief, suffocating darkness.
However, unlike the darkness in the previous few screen switches, this time, when the screen fell into darkness, the strange background music in the square also quietly changed.
It is no longer the jazz music full of ambiguity and provocation, nor is it the battle music full of tension and excitement.
Instead, it became a tone that was… deeper, more depressing, and even had a bit of… indescribable, weird and gloomy tone.
The music, like a poisonous snake, quietly spread in the darkness, bit by bit, wrapping around everyone’s heart, making them feel creepy and shudder.
This sudden change in atmosphere made everyone present involuntarily feel their hearts in their throats again.
They had a strong premonition—
Next, the image and performance of the “passionate” Hinata Hyuga that will appear on the screen will probably be more… extreme, more… terrifying, and even more… subversive of their cognition than any previous one!
I wonder… what kind of… unexpected “surprise” (or “shock”) will be waiting for them this time?
Just as everyone held their breath, nervously waiting for the screen to light up again—
The picture lights up!
This time, what appeared on the screen was not a banquet hall full of lights and wine, nor was it a fighting arena filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.
It was a… seemingly ordinary, even somewhat shabby… room.
The room was simply furnished with only a bed, a table, a chair, and some… things that looked like ninja tools and scrolls scattered on the floor.
The light in the entire room also seemed a little dim and… depressing.
And in the center of this room, stood a person… wearing an ordinary, even somewhat plain, standard ninja uniform of Konoha Village… Hinata Hyuga.
Her hair was still that smooth dark blue short hair, but it looked a little messy, as if it had not been taken care of for a long time.
Her figure was still petite and delicate, but wrapped in the loose ninja uniform, she looked even more… thin and frail.
From the appearance, this “Hinata” does not seem to be much different from the real Hyuga Hinata.
In fact, she looks more… “normal” and “ordinary” than those “Hinata from the parallel world” who appeared on the screen before with bold and revealing clothes.
When the camera slowly gave a clear close-up of her pretty face——
Everyone present couldn’t help but gasp!
An indescribable chill, like an icy poisonous snake, rushed from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads, making all the hairs on their bodies stand up!
Because, they saw that the “Hinata” on the screen, who was wearing an ordinary ninja uniform, had a pair of… iconic, pure and flawless white eyes, but at this moment, she had completely lost her usual shyness, gentleness, or… charm.
Instead, there was a… chilling, bloodshot, red color!
The dense bloodshot, like spider webs, covered the entire white of her eyes, making her pure white eyes look like two… ominous beads soaked in blood!
