Spanning Heaven and Earth, Saving Others and Oneself

Like Neji, Hinata removed all her clothes, but before Yu, she found it difficult to feel embarrassed.

Yu looked at her gently. "Don't be afraid. Go in. I'll watch over you the entire time."

"Mm... Th-thank you, Father."

Hinata obediently nodded and lay down inside the apparatus.

In the central control room, Orochimaru pressed a button. Gurgle, gurgle! The liquid was released, gradually submerging Hinata's body.
