Chapter 168 - 167: Wake up to Reality

After Hinata digested the memories, her expression became very ugly. She never expected that the Hyuga clan had a past like this. She now knew why Mistress Izanami deeply hated the Hyuga clan, even when Mistress Hinami was defending them. In fact, Hinata even dared to say that if Mistress Hinamai knew about this, she would have killed everyone here without caring about the consequences.

And so Hinata, blinded by her anger and hatred, began her massacre. She used all the knowledge she learned from her two teachers and killed every one of those zombie-like ninjas who came after her. And in just 30 minutes, Hinata was captured and brought forward at the feet of the Hyuga clan head.

Well, this is unavoidable. After all, despite Hinata's teachers being two ancient Otsutsuki, she herself was just a 12-year-old girl who was taking the graduation exam. No matter how talented she is, she is still a small cub who hasn't even gone to the battlefield. How could she compare to these battle-hardened veterans who were also called geniuses in their own times? Facing one or two may be easy for Hinata, but facing hundreds of such geniuses at once is simply impossible. So no matter how unwilling Hinata is, she can't be rebellious and escape from this cruel reality.

In fact, if the Hyuga clan were really defeated by Hinata, that would be too unbelievable. As a major clan, the Hyuga was able to dominate the Sengoku era with its solid foundation. So when those old monsters made a move, Hinata was captured immediately.

Hinata, despite getting herself captured, didn't show any cowardice. She kept glaring at the Hyuga clan head with seething hatred.

The Hyuga clan head didn't like the situation at all, so he ordered his men to teach this bitch some manners. And at his command, two Hyuga ninjas came forward and began to slap Hinata continuously.

After a full 5 minutes of slapping, Hinata's face was completely red and swollen from all the slaps. These guys didn't hold back at all.

But Hinata, despite being in so much pain, didn't yield at all. Her eyes were still glaring coldly at the Hyuga clan head.

Seeing her still being so rebalious the Hyuga clan head felt humiliation along with hatred and a bit of fear. As someone who managed to climb through the ranks through scheming, what he feared more than anything was the people who are disobedient to him.

As someone who created the Cage Bird seal, he has this much self-awareness that the only reason he is in power is that he managed to break the spirit of those geniuses and elders, making them submit to him.

And so for him to be in power, he needs to constantly make sure everyone doesn't have any rebellious thoughts. So anyone who even seems to be having such thoughts should be executed before they could light a spark.

Thinking of this, the Hyuga clan head's expression turned cold. She decided this niece of hers should be killed and used to scare any of those monkeys to remind them of who their master is.

It's just, it is such a pity that he would never be able to enjoy her, who resembles her mother. No matter, he would just have to find some other women who are very similar to this mother and daughter.

And so with a cold tone, he gave the order of Hinata's execution. And in less than a second, his command left his mouth. Hinata was beheaded, and that too by her own father.

Hinata didn't feel much surprise at this. After all, this body's father is already dead, and there is only the defeated Hyuga heir left in that body. And with that uncle's bad taste, it is very normal for him to use her own father to kill her. And this father of hers, who had already been reduced to an empty husk, would do what his master ordered.

CRACK

A shattering sound was heard, and Hinata woke up and found herself in the familiar classroom. The sudden contrast made her feel as if she were in a daze, but her brain quickly began to work and analyzed everything that happened.

And soon an absurd thought crossed her head as she looked at her teacher, Izanami, with shock. And that Izanami's knowing smile made her more certain of her guess.

But Hinata was unable to speak her guess as the other students also began to wake up one by one. Soon, all the students were awake, and the classroom began to get very noisy.

These brats began to talk about their new adventures and how terrible the food they were eating was, and so on. But amongst these students, most students were all very gloomy, while a minority were even terrified. Only a few were able to act like their usual selves without any emotional changes.

But Izanami, who is a master of disguse can see that it was these few students who are actually the most shaken. It's just that their brain was still processing the memories they had in the dream. In a few minutes these guys would also begin their transformation after their brain was finally unable to suppress the dark memories.

All in all, every single one of these students seems to have witnessed the darkness of this world, and their naive ideas about being a ninja would be no more. Now, Izanami just needs to find the people who are able to face reality and truly understand what it means to be a ninja.

And that's the easy part of this test? She only needs to cast a simple ginjutsu to make them tell their true thoughts. And for this, she doesn't need to make a move at all. She looked at one of the teachers and gave him a look.

The teacher nodded and took a step forward. And this caught the attention of all the students. But the teacher, ignoring their gazes, spoke, "Everyone, your graduation exam is almost over. Now we only have the final test. In this test, we will call each student to the next classroom and ask some standard questions. I hope everyone remembers what you learned as a jōnin all these years and passes this final interview. "

This sudden announcement caught all the students off guard. First, the graduation exam was changed to a horror simulation, and now this sudden interview. Are you guys sure we are taking the exam to become a genin? Even the jonnin exam isn't this difficult, alright.

But no matter how many complaints the students have, they could only smile and nod in agreement. Are you kidding me? After going through that hell like an illusion, they didn't want to fail this exam just because of not wanting to participate in a simple interview.

Izanami saw the student's predicament and almost laughed out loud. She really likes that look of 'I don't want to be the boss, but you are the boss, so whatever you say is the law.' It made her remember the days she used to boss around those old fogies in her old village who came to advise her on manners.

Heh, speaking of those days, she really wondered whether those guys had reincarnated successfully. Hmm, let me check…

Oh, this is bad… Damn you, old man, how the hell can you do such a thing!!
