Naruto: All I want to do after transforming into Akali is be happy!

Chapter 17 Hot Spring Invitation

Akali then noticed Hinata's ever-pure and innocent expression, as well as her pure and flawless eyes, and realized what was happening.

"BIG-level coward Hinata, you even dare to fool me, and you still dare to say you haven't changed?"

"Otherwise, you're someone else in disguise!"

"You monster, tell me quickly, where did you hide my cute and charming Hinata?!"

Akali pounced on Hinata, and the two equally soft bodies collided, creating a sensation as if they were floating on clouds.

Meanwhile, Akali's hands didn't stop either. Her nimble, snake-like hands moved incessantly, relentlessly attacking Hinata's itchy spots all over her body, such as her armpits, neck, and waist.

Faced with Akali's despicable offensive, Hinata quickly succumbed and began to plead for mercy in a soft voice:

"Hahaha, I was wrong, Akali! Hahaha, it itches, I was really wrong, please let me go!"

"Stop scratching! Stop scratching!"

Hinata managed to grab Akali's mischievous hands, panting, her pink lips slightly parted, exhaling wisps of hot air, and two suspicious blushes rising on her cute little face.

Akali watched as Hinata's full chest rose and fell dramatically with her breath, and beads of sweat slid down her slender neck, disappearing into the alluring white expanse of her neckline. Only then did Akali let her go.

After all, even applying patches should be done in moderation.

So, Akali withdrew her hands, which had just been lightly measuring Hinata's recently developed hands, and said seriously, "Tell me, Hinata, how do you feel right now?"

"How do I feel right now..."

Hinata's eyes darkened slightly as she entered a state of deep thought.

After a moment, she replied, "My biggest feeling right now is that it's unnecessary!"

"Unnecessary?" Akali didn't understand. "What's with this feeling?"

"In other words, I feel like I don't need to care so much about what other people do."

Hinata smiled and explained, "I used to live too tensely and too sensitively!"

"I feel like a three-year-old child. My father's words are like thunder. Naruto's presence is like the sun. And my classmates are like wolves and tigers that I need to be careful of."

"But now I understand that my father is not thunder, Naruto is not the sun, and my classmates are not wolves or tigers. I don't need to be careful and fearful of them all the time."

"So, after changing my perspective on the world, I felt that the world was completely different!"

"I used to envy Naruto's carefree and unrestrained life, but now I realize that no one is binding me!"

When Hinata spoke of this, a bright smile appeared on her face, and her pure white eyes, with both pupils and irises, seemed to sparkle like stars!

Seeing Hinata like this, Akali couldn't help but feel happy for her.

"That's great, Hinata! You've finally realized these things!"

Many things can indeed be solved by changing your perspective.

For example, if a transmigrator were to transmigrate into Hinata's body, she would know that although Hiashi Hyuga is stern, he is actually a person who loves his daughter very much, and there is absolutely no need to be polite to him.

Hinata is not a disgraceful heiress of the Hyuga family, nor is she a marginal figure without real power.

This is the difference in perception that comes from different perspectives.

But these things were completely invisible to the original Hinata!

To Hinata, she was a useless person whom her father hated, who brought shame to the family, and who couldn't even beat her own sister.

So Akali was also a little curious at this moment.

"Can you tell me why you changed so drastically, Hinata?"

"..." Hinata glanced at Akali with a wistful look as she spoke of the transformation process.

"If you were so shy that you would wake up and then feel dizzy, then wake up and then feel dizzy again, only able to eat for a few hours a day for half a month, and experience the pain of time passing by without you having anything to do with you, you would also stop being shy!"

Humans are incredibly adaptable creatures; for survival, there is nothing we cannot overcome.

"Um... I think so..."

Faced with Hinata's accusing gaze, Akali shrank back and gave an awkward smile.

After all, wasn't she the one who caused all of this?

If Hinata's abnormal condition hadn't lasted for more than half a month, even alarming the Hyuga clan, Iruka wouldn't have gotten so angry.

Fortunately, Hinata didn't blame Akali; in fact, she was very grateful to her.

If it weren't for Akali, she might still be in that confused and muddled state, unable to see the world with a normal mindset like she does now.

"Akali, thank you. As a token of my appreciation, please let me treat you to dinner!"

Hinata took Akali's hand and their fingers intertwined like best friends: "Our Hyuga clan has many businesses, including hot springs and massage parlors."

"It's still early, we can go to the hot springs first, then get a massage, and finally have dinner!"

"By the way, didn't Iruka-sensei say there would be an assessment in a month?"

"Our Hyuga family's massage techniques are derived from acupressure, which are extremely effective in relieving body discomfort. If you're going to train when you get back, Akali, it would be best to come and get a massage beforehand!"

Hinata spoke excitedly, rattling off a string of words.

Lost in her daydreams of playing happily with her friends, Hinata didn't realize that she had unknowingly taken Akali's small hands in her own and held them to her heart.

This is perfectly normal contact for a young girl.

But for Akali...

Feeling as if her five fingers were sinking into her, Akali heard the echoing words, "FBI open the door!" repeatedly in her ears.

Akali was also somewhat shocked.

Hinata is so young, yet she already has a size the size of a palm, which is comparable to Hinata's!

The problem is that Akali's growth is fixed and predictable, but Hinata...

Akali looked at Hinata, and in her eyes seemed to be a vision of Hinata as an adult.

Just then, Hinata also looked at Akali.

Looking at Akali, whose eyes were somewhat unfocused and seemed to be looking at someone else, Hinata softly called out, "Akali, Akali?"

"Huh?" Akali suddenly came to her senses.

Hinata looked worried: "Why are you spacing out? Did you not sleep well last night? Looks like I'll have to add an aromatherapy session later to help you relax."

Akali, what do you think of lavender?

"Lavender?" Akali repeated Hinata's words, recalling what Hinata had just said.

Keywords such as hot springs, massage, and aromatherapy flashed through her mind.

And if we add the name Hinata to these keywords...

"Okay, okay, I'm fine with anything! Let's go now!"

Akali's expression was excited, her eyes shining, and she was even more anxious, transforming into King Gigi.

Seeing Akali's excitement, Hinata smiled gently, completely unaware that something was amiss.

She simply assumed Akali was excited about the hot springs and massages!

"Let's go then!" Hinata said, taking Akali's hand and starting to walk.

Unfortunately, it's as if even the heavens couldn't stand Akali's ugly face anymore.

Before the two had taken more than a few steps, an uninvited guest blocked their way!
