Chapter 162
Clap! Clap!
The Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist Art, emitting blue Chakras and swirling, explosive sounds.
Hyuga Hazuki watched her husband in the dojo, still instructing their youngest daughter on the practice of Gentle Fist Art.
It had been over an hour.
Including the daytime practice, Hanabi must be quite exhausted.
As for Hinata, she was already kneeling to the side, dozing off.
Hyuga Hazuki softly spoke, "Hiashi, aren't you going to rest?"
"I'm busy…"
Hyuga Hiashi's expression was solemn.
The reasons for this situation were, firstly, Hinata's lack of effort.
Secondly, Hanabi's talent… seemed not as good as his brother's son, Neji.
That's right.
His younger brother Hizashi's child… Neji, was a true genius.
His talent even astonished the Main Family Elder.
And it was evaluated that Neji was very likely to reach the level of a Heavenly Ninja.
This evaluation naturally made him, as the elder brother and clan head, lose face.
Therefore, Hiashi stayed up late, training his youngest daughter in Gentle Fist.
And from his husband's stance, he probably wouldn't sleep at all tonight.
Hyuga Hazuki sighed inwardly.
As their youngest daughter grew up, her husband… rarely discussed the beauty of the moon with her anymore.
She often felt somewhat out of place with them, father and daughter.
Hinata's thoughts were on Naruto.
Hanabi was single-mindedly focused on becoming stronger.
Hiashi was always worried about the clan's affairs.
Only she… was left alone in an empty room.
A hint of resentment arose in Hazuki's heart, and she slowly retreated.
The explosive Chakra sounds of her husband and daughter practicing Gentle Fist Art… continued to echo… as she walked back.
Hyuga Hazuki suddenly stopped, then reached out to steady herself against the wall.
"Hoo… hoo…"
Her body was so hot; did this mean it was a sequela of her recovery?
Hyuga Hazuki was extremely grateful for Naruto's secret medicine.
After a while, Hyuga Hazuki recovered.
She walked towards her residence.
"Oh, by the way… has Naruto-kun gone to sleep?"
Feeling bored, Hyuga Hazuki walked towards the guest house's annex.
After passing through the entrance, she saw the candlelight flickering inside.
"That boy Naruto, he probably forgot to turn off the light, didn't he…"
Hyuga Hazuki smiled softly and walked over.
When she stood in front of the Japanese paper sliding door, the scene projected before her made her freeze on the spot.
A grotesque projection was cast on the paper sliding door.
Hyuga Hazuki subconsciously widened her eyes, immediately recognizing it as a terrifying Tailed Beast Partner… She should have run away quickly, but she stared fixedly at the monster's silhouette appearing on the paper sliding door.
Perhaps because of fear, she… couldn't move.
And just then, Hyuga Hazuki felt her illness acting up.
Her body once again became intensely hot, as if she were being consumed by flames… "Hoo… hoo…"
Chapter 107: Hazuki's Illness, Night Visit to Naruto
Summoning beasts.
They are a type of creature distinct from ordinary animals.
They can be commanded by Ninjas.
Beyond that, there are the Nine Tailed Beasts.
These monsters possess different strengths and abilities.
The most powerful can even overturn rivers and seas.
Among creatures of the same kind, Hyuga Hazukihad never seen such a terrifying Tailed Beast Partner.
And due to her illness, she stood dumbfounded on the spot.
This illness was not just physical; it was also psychological.
It was an illness that could have been greatly alleviated with more care from her husband Hiashi, but due to long-term neglect and being left alone in an empty room… her physical and mental symptoms became increasingly severe.
After all, most people cannot detach themselves from social life.
It is quite normal for a disease to only fully heal with the care of family.
Inside the paper sliding door… the candlelight flickered within the room.
The swaying shadows on the paper sliding door became increasingly eerie.
Hyuga Hazuki's eyes widened, her breathing rapid.
Her white eyes even showed a hint of distraction… All of this was due to the intense internal struggle she was undergoing.
Should she go in, or not go in to ask Naruto for help with her treatment?
So, Hyuga Hazuki couldn't help but ask softly, "Naruto~~~, are you asleep~~~?"
As she spoke, she realized her voice was trembling!
"…"
No sound came from inside the room.
This indicated that Naruto must be asleep.
Or perhaps he was half-asleep, Hazuki thought.
So, Hazuki turned to leave.
But then she suddenly remembered that burning candles while sleeping was extremely dangerous!
What if the house caught fire!
She had to extinguish the candle!
Hazuki immediately turned back, raised her right hand, and tremblingly reached out towards the paper sliding door in front of her.
Her movements were very slow, and her hand shook violently.
It was as if she were not pulling open an ordinary paper sliding door, but rather the abyss leading to hell… *Whoosh*.
Finally, Hyuga Hazuki still pulled open a crack.
Through the crack, she peered inside.
A candle burned on the low table.
Naruto lay on the tatami mat, his bedding kicked to the side.
As Naruto slept, his chest rose and fell with his breathing, looking like he was in a deep sleep.
And the shadow that had previously been projected onto the paper sliding door now clearly appeared before her eyes.
Seeing the Nine-Tailed, Hyuga Hazuki was stunned again, even forgetting to breathe.
Because she had never seen such a terrifying Tailed Beast.
After a good while, she came back to her senses and slowly, quietly, entered the room.
She tiptoed towards Naruto's position.
When she reached the low table, she stumbled and fell to the ground.
*Thump*.
The vibrating sound failed to wake Naruto.
Naruto merely smacked his lips and rolled over.
Naruto, who was now facing Hazuki, also shifted the position of the Tailed Beast Partner.
"!"
Looking at the sleeping creature facing her, almost touching the skirt of her knees.
Hazuki's eyes immediately straightened.
Her pair of white eyes gazed towards the center, like a cross-eyed person.
"Hoo… hoo…"
She sat there, not knowing what she was thinking.
Perhaps she was happy for her daughter's future, after all… Or perhaps.
She was engaged in an intense internal struggle.
Earlier, due to the treatment, Hyuga Hazuki felt her head was spinning at the moment.
Yin Release Chakra was a technique that could truly affect the human body and even the human nervous system.
Hyuga Hazuki looked back outside.
The beautiful moonlight illuminated the earth, but the house here was shrouded in shadow.
Her slender, beautiful hand gently lifted, placed on her collar, gripping her lapel, and fanning herself subconsciously.
Hot… it's still so hot… A Xia must already be asleep.
Hiashi was still accompanying his daughter in practicing Gentle Fist.
So… Hyuga Hazuki turned her head back.
But when she looked at Naruto again, she was suddenly startled.
"Ugh~!"
Naruto had already opened his eyes, and his blue eyes were looking at her.
