Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique

After watching Feng An leave completely, Hinata entered the house and carefully slid the bolt into place.

She tiptoed toward the inner room.

"Hinata."

A deep voice came from a man.

Hinata hurried over with her head lowered. "Father."

A man sat in the hallway with his arms crossed before his chest, seemingly having waited there for quite some time.

The man was Hinata's father, Hiashi Hyuga.

"That boy just now was Feng An, wasn't he?"

Hinata nodded. "Yes."

It turned out Hiashi Hyuga had long since activated his Byakugan and witnessed everything that had just happened.

Fortunately, Feng An had not laid a hand on her. Otherwise, Hiashi Hyuga would have been unable to resist rushing out and killing him.

Hiashi Hyuga pulled Hinata into his arms and said, "I understand that you have feelings for him because he saved you when you were little."

"But you are my daughter, Hiashi Hyuga's daughter. The future of the Hyuga Clan rests on your shoulders. He is not the most suitable choice for you."

When Hinata had been young and mocked as a Byakugan monster, red-haired Feng An, who had been waiting atop a tree for quite some time, jumped down and effortlessly drove away those foul-mouthed boys. That scene had been deeply etched into Hinata's mind.

Hinata slipped out of his embrace, raised her fair face, met Hiashi Hyuga's gaze for a moment, then hurriedly looked away.

"Father, Neji is so outstanding. Why can't you place your hopes on him?"

"You are of the Main Family, while Neji is of the Branch Family. The Branch Family exists to protect the Main Family!"

Hiashi Hyuga seemed somewhat angered. He rose to his feet, flicked his sleeves, and clasped his hands behind his back.

As he turned to leave, Hiashi Hyuga sighed. "This is how the Hyuga Clan survives. In any case, reduce your contact with Feng An."

"I'm sorry. This time... I won't follow your arrangements, Father."

Hinata's eyes reddened, but her gaze remained firm as she walked toward her room.

She did not understand how important the family honor and family future Hiashi Hyuga spoke of truly were. She only knew that her brother Neji had possessed extraordinary talent since childhood, while her own talent was ordinary. No matter how hard she worked, she could never surpass him.

Yet fate had made her a member of the Hyuga Main Family, forcing her to live from childhood with the identity of the Hyuga heir upon her shoulders.

Hearing Hinata's words, Hiashi Hyuga clenched his fists, a trace of severity and reluctance appearing on his face.

Even before this, Hiashi Hyuga had already considered raising the more talented Hanabi Hyuga as the heir. Now, seeing Hinata's actions, he became even more determined to make Hanabi the heir of the Hyuga household.

If Hinata had been more resilient, even if her talent was not particularly outstanding, Hiashi would not have chosen to name the younger child over the elder.

"But that boy's red hair... Is he an orphan of the Uzumaki lineage? As things stand, the Uzumaki lineage still isn't worthy."

Meanwhile, Feng An had returned to his little house.

Rather than going to sleep immediately, he extracted the fire-nature and earth-nature Chakra from his body's cells and guided them into his dantian, allowing them to merge.

As the two equally blue streams of Chakra within his dantian slowly began to rotate, a small vortex unexpectedly appeared.

The fusion of the two Chakras seemed to produce a new Chakra nature transformation, but there was only the faintest trace of it. Moreover, whenever he tried to draw upon the Chakra formed from the fusion of fire and earth nature, it would disperse.

"So it failed again."

Feng An had been conducting this research for two and a half years, yet he still had not achieved any substantive results.

What he was pursuing was a Kekkei Genkai that was theoretically possible, yet in practice had only ever been successfully obtained through bloodline inheritance.

But he had always believed that as long as one possessed the corresponding Chakra natures, it should be possible to acquire a Kekkei Genkai—or even a Kekkei Tota—later in life.

He had tried countless times, simulating everything from releasing them to fusing them, but every attempt had failed.

Then, in a sudden flash of inspiration, he wondered what would happen if he used the body's chakra points to merge two types of nature Chakra.

After extensive experimentation, he discovered that this truly could produce a new Chakra nature transformation. The only regret was that he had yet to successfully preserve any of the resulting transformations.

Years of experimentation had already turned it into a habit. Every night before bed, he would conduct an attempt.

"Today was probably the most exhausting day I've had in all these years..."

"But it was definitely much more fulfilling, too."

In the past, he would have spent most of the day wandering around and enjoying the scenery.

Feng An took a shower, lay down on the bed, and quickly fell asleep.

The next day.

The members of Team 8, along with Feng An, trained at the training ground.

Kurenai pointed out their shortcomings and had them train according to their own weaknesses.

After making arrangements for the others, Kurenai studied Feng An.

"You..."

During yesterday's mission, Feng An had been the only one with no obvious area that needed strengthening.

"Go entertain yourself."

"???"

Feng An said unhappily, "I've called you Teacher Kurenai for a whole day, and this is how you brush me off?"

Kurenai crouched down with a smile and pinched his little cheeks.

"I'm not proficient in the powerful Ninjutsu that would suit you. As for Illusion Techniques, do you want to learn them?"

"I do!"

"Good. Then come with me."

Kurenai walked ahead, with Feng An following behind. He did not notice her hand movements at all.

Let's see how long it takes you to wake up. Illusion Techniques aren't something you can master simply through training.

"Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique."

As Feng An walked, he suddenly realized that Kurenai had vanished from before his eyes.

"Where's Teacher Kurenai?"

He scratched his head and turned around, only to find that Hinata and Kiba Inuzuka had vanished as well.

What's going on?

After walking an unknown distance farther, a flash of white light passed before his eyes, and an enticing scene entered his mind.

It was a group of scantily clad women. Without exception, every one of them was beautiful, and he knew nearly all of their names.

Hinata, Kurenai, Tenten, Tsunade, Konan, Chiyo, Mei Terumi, Temari, Mikoto... The sight left him dazzled.

He swallowed hard.

Unlike usual, they had shed their ninja attire and were wearing swimsuits of every color and style!

As far as the eye could see was a dazzling expanse of snowy white. He had never witnessed such a heart-shaking sight.

After the Sensor Ninja among them discovered his presence, they all charged toward him. Several women like Hinata bounced as they ran, making Feng An's eyes nearly pop out of his head.

"Lord Feng An~~"

Soft, intoxicating voices rose one after another.

Where is this? Did I accidentally stumble into heaven?!

Just as he spread his arms to pull them into his embrace, Chiyo, who was running at the front while drooling, was suddenly cut in half at the waist!

Blood sprayed across his face.

Before he could even understand what had happened, the heaven from a moment ago had abruptly become hell.

All the female ninja had begun fighting over him. No, they were not fighting—they were slaughtering one another!

Kurenai, Tenten, Temari, Mikoto... Before long, countless women calling Feng An's name lay in pools of blood.

This was a true Asura Field!

"Feng An belongs only to me. Don't even think about sharing him with me."

In the end, only Hinata remained, her body covered in blood.

Standing amid the pool of blood, she held her hands before her chest and blinked shyly. "Feng An, you belong only to me..."
