"What?!"
Kanami noticed the changes in his body as well.
He watched muscles rapidly grow across his chest.
His expression changed instantly. "Hinata, stop him! At this rate, I won't be able to die!"
Hinata's pupils trembled as she slowly raised her right hand.
Azure chakra light gathered in her palm once more.

He could no longer control his body at all.
He could only let Otsutsuki Yamei do even more excessive things at this very moment.
"Hinata, it really is me. I won't
