Hinata's Transformation

"You... I hate you so much! Go away, go away! I don't want to see you again! Waaah..." Hinata released all the pent-up grievances she had held in all night. Her heart ached so much, it really ached. She felt like the world was drifting away from her, and there was no meaning to living. She loved him so much, and this was the reward she received in the end. She felt so stupid, having been deceived by him all this time, and still thinking of him Isshin. Was this her fate? She thought they could live happily together, but now all her support had vanished.

Hinata's eyes suddenly underwent a strange change; three black Tomoe appeared in her two silver eyeballs, one on the left and two on the right, and the Tomoe were spinning rapidly.

Issui didn't notice the change in Hinata's eyes. He hated himself, he hated himself. He had never felt this way before, even letting himself ruin the girl he loved most. He felt like he controlled the world, and without Hinata by his side, none of this mattered. At this moment, he realized that Hinata was the most important thing in his life, from the moment he came into this world...

Hinata wept bitterly, her body limp as she sat on the ground. The collapse of her faith made her feel as if her life had come to an end.

Seeing Hinata, Issui felt as if his own heart was being torn apart. He felt a chill run through his body. He realized that perhaps this world no longer mattered to him, because the person he loved most no longer loved him, just like Xiao Nan in his previous life. Even death was no longer frightening to him, as long as she was willing to forgive him.

Hinata didn't notice Issui's self-reproachful eyes; she remained lost in her own world of sorrow.

Issui felt he should die. In this world, dreams, ambitions, and aspirations meant nothing; his heart was dead! He shattered along with Hinata's sorrow, not because of Hinata, but because of himself. "I should die," he thought. "Yes, I should die. In my past life, I lacked the power to let Xiao Nan become someone else's wife. In this life, I possess immense strength, yet I have hurt the woman I love most—an unforgivable wound!!!"

Fini woke up with a feeling that something bad was about to happen. A tear suddenly rolled down her cheek. What was wrong? After she and Issui finished last night, he went home. Could something else have happened? But why was she so sad?

While cooking in the kitchen, Shiro suddenly cut her hand. She quickly froze the bleeding finger with ice-style Chakra, but strangely, the blood was flowing inside the ice. It was unbelievable. What was going on? She had a bad feeling. What could it be?

The Kirigakure in the Land of Water.

Mei Terumi, who had been supporting her head with her hand, suddenly loosened her grip, her forehead hitting the table in front of her. The pain jolted Mei Terumi awake from her dream. A sudden gust of cold wind swept in from outside the window, and several sheets of white paper fluttered off the table. What was going on? It felt so eerie, as if something was about to happen. What could it be?

The Land of Snow, the Kazahana Castle.

Kazahana Koyuki was working on the documents on her desk, a corner of the desk suddenly cracked. How could this be? A corner Earth Split for no reason! This usually meant something unfortunate was about to happen. What could it be? It seemed like nothing else was about to happen in the Land of Snow, right?

Issui stood before Hinata, staring at Hinata lifeless Byakugan. He showed no surprise at the spinning black Tomoe; nothing else mattered now. He would atone with his life. Issui pulled out Shuriken and plunged it into his chest. His heart was Shuriken, Issui he felt no pain. This pain paled in comparison to the agony in his heart. He pulled out the Shuriken, tossed it aside, and let the blood from his heart flow freely. Death was the only way to redeem himself.

Hinata, witnessing Issui's suicidal act, suddenly narrowed her eyes, snapping out of her grief. What was happening? Why did Issui-kun want to commit suicide? Tears—whose tears? Mine. Yes, mine. Why am I crying? Sadness. Yes, sadness. For whom? For him. Issui-kun. Damn it, why didn't I stop him? If I had, he would have listened. He always loved me the most, always doing what I wanted.

"Cough, cough, Hinata, my beloved girl, I broke your heart. I know you've always tolerated me, but I've been doing things that hurt you. I'm a fucking bastard. I've caused you so much pain, you must be heartbroken. I'm sorry, I know saying sorry a thousand times is useless, only death can put your mind at ease. You know what? I actually love you the most, but I'm a bastard, I just can't control my disgusting lust. In the end, I finally understood one thing, cough, cough..." Issui said slowly and calmly.

"No, it's all my fault. I was too cruel. Please stop, I beg you! You're bleeding so much! Sister Haku, come quick! Save him!" Hinata clutched Issui chest, trying to stop the blood from gushing out. She finally understood. They were inseparable; their hearts were intertwined. Her heart felt like it was bleeding too. Why couldn't she forgive his small mistake? How could she be so heartless, burying their love so easily, leading him to suicide? Yes, without her, he couldn't find a reason to exist. He could love her to the point of death. She was so foolish. He valued her more than his own life, and she...

Hinata's eyes underwent another dramatic change, transforming from one black Tomoe on the left and two on the right to three black Tomoe on the left and three on the right, with the black Tomoe spinning faster and faster!

In her daze, Fini was suddenly turned into white smoke and disappeared in surprise.

Hearing Hinata's cries and screams, Haku finally sensed that something ominous was about to happen. She put down the kitchen knife in her hand, used the Body Flicker Technique to leave, and headed for Issui's room!

"Hinata, don't be sad. I feel like I'm finally free. Really. You cried. Yes, you still love me, right? It's my fault. Let my death redeem me. Cough, cough, people are never satisfied. Actually, I'm already so happy to have you by my side. When I came into this world, I thought I could control everything and have women on both sides, but now I know I was wrong, terribly wrong. I neglected feelings. Yes, feelings. Thank you, Hinata. I've even gradually forgotten the person I love most. What I want is feelings, feelings that can last forever..." Issui, a lingering sadness.

"No, you can't die! I can't live without you! Get up! Didn't you promise to protect me for life? How could you break your promise? Don't you know that when you shared your Ninja Way with me, I was already inseparable from you? Please, don't die! I love you, I love you so much, I love you so much, I love you the most! You've already taken my heart, and now you're leaving me? I hate you, I'll hate you forever! You big bad guy, you always make me worry! If you die, I'll go with you, I promise! You told yourself long ago that we'd live together and die together, never to be separated, do you understand?" Hinata shook her head violently, her heart aching so much. Why? She finally found a lover she could rely on for a lifetime, and now he's going to die because of her? Was she being cruel?

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The massive blood loss had gradually swayed Issui's consciousness, but he struggled to stay awake and said, "Cough... Hinata, I... love... you. You... have... given... so much... for... me. I'm content. You... cough... cough... live well, find... someone who truly loves you, live on... This is my last... wish, cough... cough... cough..."

Issui gradually drifted into unconsciousness, his eyelids drooping. He struggled to memorize Hinata's face, then closed his eyes. A smile appeared on his lips—yes, a smile. He understood. Love is sacred and inviolable. A fleeting moment of happiness can be captured, but spiritual love is eternal. Yi Shui, or Issui, you've understood the most important thing. You can die content. Lack of power doesn't mean lack of love; power doesn't guarantee love. I understand now, Xiao Nan, and Hinata. Thank you both. I'm the biggest fool. In my past life, Xiao Nan loved me deeply, but I didn't wholeheartedly strive to create my own life, disappointing her. In this life, I possess power, yet I thought I could command the winds and rain, possessing beautiful women everywhere to satisfy Hinata I'd never experienced. I neglected Hinata's feelings, burying our love deep within my heart. I've disappointed her too. I'm a super villain, a complete bastard...

Hinata felt Issui's heart stop beating, his eyes closed, and she panicked, terrified. No, no, don't be so cruel! Don't leave me alone to struggle in this lonely world! My heart is broken, beyond repair. Unless he's still alive, I'm just a soulless shell. He took my heart away...

In that instant, Hinata's eyes underwent a dramatic change. Two constantly rotating seven-colored petals appeared in her two white eyeballs, resembling the Mangekyō Sharingan of the Uchiha! Considering the previous two changes, it can be roughly deduced that this is an advancement of the Sharingan: One-Tomoe, Two-Tomoe, Mitsudomoe, and now the Mangekyō. Perhaps the hidden characteristics of the bloodline optimization performed on Hinata by Issui last time did not manifest.
