"I'm here!"

With Naruto's small frame, it was difficult to hold down the skeletal arm. Just then, Choji ran over and sat down with a plop on the giant bone sword.

The arm finally stopped moving.

The skeletal giant, with only one arm and one leg left, struggled and crawled towards the person closest to it, making a pat-pat sound.

"Huff, huff, huff~"

Sasuke panted heavily, his chakra severely depleted, leaving him in a poor state.

Tenten tentatively threw a few shuriken, but they didn't inflict much damage on the skeletal giant. The shuriken hit the giant with a sound like steel colliding, and they even saw sparks fly.

"This is too tough!"

Although they knew this skeletal giant might be very sturdy, its hardness was astonishing.

"Don't just stand there, hurry up and help."

Turning their heads, they saw Shikamaru already drawing a sealing jutsu.

"Right, use a sealing jutsu!"

Sakura clapped her hands. How could she not have thought of this?

She immediately stepped forward to help.

Not only her, but Neji, Shino, and Ino also stepped forward to help.

However, Rock Lee stood awkwardly in place because he had almost no chakra in his body.

"It's so big, our abilities probably can't fully seal it," Rock Lee's spirit ignited. "In that case, I'll just remove its left arm too!"

But he didn't act immediately. Since there was no one to return the severed left arm to its body, the best time for him to make his move was when they were ready.

Hinata remained seated on the rooftop, showing no intention of helping.

After all, this was just a test, and she didn't need to steal all the spotlight.

"Still, this test should be ending soon."

Since this was just a test, there couldn't be anything that they, the students, couldn't handle.

After this skeletal giant was dealt with, this test should be over.

Moreover, deploying such a separate dimension consumed a considerable amount of chakra from a Jinchuriki.

"Ready!"

Hinata looked down. Shikamaru and the others had prepared the sealing jutsu.

Then, Rock Lee let out a roar, "Konoha Whirlwind!" The skeletal giant's left arm was severed and sent flying. After spinning in the air a few times, it landed on the rooftop floor.

Shikamaru and the others didn't miss the opportunity and immediately cast the sealing jutsu.

Then, the skeletal giant, with only a thigh still dangling from its body, was slowly consumed by the sealing jutsu.

"This should be over now," Shikamaru panted, as casting the sealing jutsu had consumed a significant amount of his chakra.

The others were the same.

Then, the surrounding light began to brighten.

Before everyone except Hinata could react, they had already reappeared on the school rooftop.

And in front of them lay their classmates who had fainted.

"Alright, students. The test is over, you can go home. Tomorrow, the school will announce the results of this test."

At this moment, Iruka came up the stairs and said to everyone.

Naruto rubbed his head, still not fully processing what had happened. Where did the arm he was holding onto go?

"So, we passed the test, right?"

Sasuke stepped forward and said.

Iruka smiled mysteriously. "You'll find that out tomorrow morning."

"What about these students lying here?"

"They're just unconscious, they'll wake up in a bit, don't worry."

Then, after bidding farewell to Iruka, everyone, dragging their exhausted bodies, left the school and went home.

As they went downstairs, they noticed the ground was very clean, with no bloodstains at all.

If it weren't for the nauseating stench lingering in the air, they might have thought that the severed limbs and blood they had just seen were all illusions.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Hinata, who was unwrapping the cloth from her hand and moving her fingers.

Between the time they decided to follow Hinata and head towards the school building, was it thirty seconds, or a minute?

But when they reached the school building, they saw a ground full of severed limbs. Even when they reached the rooftop, Hinata was still sitting leisurely on the rooftop.

This meant that those Puppet Corpses had not posed any obstruction to Hinata at all!

She had broken through the numerous Puppet Corpses with great ease and reached the rooftop. Most importantly, she had chosen the most violent method of breakthrough!

"Is this even human?"

"Are you even human?" Kiba Inuzuka, blunt as ever, blurted it out.

Then Hinata walked towards him...

"No, wait, I was wrong..." But the expected pain didn't come; Hinata didn't hit him.

She just released the seal on his sense of smell, and then his little white dog.

"Thanks... gag..."

He'd barely finished half a sentence when a smell that would normally be unbearable to most people, magnified countless times under his nose, made him throw up.

What came out this time was a tiny bit of stomach acid, painstakingly secreted.

Shikamaru: "..."

Could Miss Hyuga be a dark one?

Looking at Kiba Inuzuka's miserable state, Shikamaru felt a chill down his spine and decided he would definitely not provoke her in the future. He couldn't tell if Hinata unsealing Kiba's sense of smell was out of kindness or not...

"Hinata, want to go out and play this afternoon?"

The energetic Naruto realized they didn't have class this afternoon and could go out to play!

Although Hinata wanted to go home now and make herself a pair of gloves or gauntlets to protect her hands.

Because the bizarre creatures themselves were one thing, but the puppet corpses controlled by the bizarre creatures were too disgusting. Just looking at them was unbearable, let alone touching them with her bare hands...

"Okay."

But she didn't need to rush to make gloves or gauntlets. Besides, she didn't necessarily have to make them herself; she could just order the Hyuga clan members to craft them.

What was the point of being a young lady if she couldn't do that?

"No way? You still have the energy to play?"

Sakura screamed. After vomiting profusely and with her chakra severely depleted, she was completely drained and just wanted to go home and collapse on her bed.

"Shikamaru, are you going?" Naruto asked again.

Perhaps it was because he had been sticking close to Hinata, but Naruto hadn't developed a crush on Sakura.

This made Hinata a little worried. What if this blockhead suddenly had a change of heart one day and liked her...

Hinata decided that if Naruto dared to confess to her, she would punch him and tell him she only saw him as a friend.

Yeah, that guy Sasuke too.

After all, with her unparalleled beauty, it wasn't strange for anyone to confess to her.

The reason Naruto invited Shikamaru was that when Naruto first bolted from the classroom, his legs had gone weak, and Shikamaru had pulled him along.

Naruto was a very pure child; he wanted to thank Shikamaru.

"Uh... well..." Shikamaru hesitated.

"Choji can come too."

Choji's eyes flashed. "Is there meat?"

Choji's response was very much in character.

"Yes! Barbecue by the river!"

"I'm in!"

Shikamaru: "..."

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
