Chapter 58: Three Days of Thumping
The violent beating of his heart resounded in Ryosuke's ears.
In addition to the sound of his heartbeat, he could even hear the blood rushing through his body like the surging river.
The sound of creaking bones.
The gurgling of internal organs.
These extremely subtle sounds, which usually went unnoticed, were now infinitely magnified in his mind.
This abrupt physical change left Ryosuke with no time to say anything before he was overwhelmed by unbearable pain.
"What's wrong, Ryosuke?"
In his blurred vision, Ryosuke could see Hiashi standing across the desk, appearing beside him in the blink of an eye. Hiashi looked flustered, and his tone was full of worry.
The chair he was originally sitting on seemed to have been blown away by the sheer force of his movement, smashing into the wall behind and shattering into pieces. Despite his pain, Ryosuke was acutely aware of his surroundings.
His eyes had opened involuntarily the moment his body began to change. Even if he wanted to shut out the outside world and focus solely on enduring the pain, he couldn't. All the sensory information around him was like data being forced into his mind, demanding his attention.
Lying on the ground, Ryosuke clenched his fists and curled up into a ball.
Beside him, the usually stern and serious Hiashi looked uncharacteristically worried. He squatted next to Ryosuke, unsure of what to do. His Byakugan was activated, allowing him to see the turmoil inside Ryosuke's body, but he was powerless to help.
His two arms hovered in mid-air, torn between finding a medical ninja and staying by Ryosuke's side, afraid of disturbing him.
This was the first time Hiashi had seen Ryosuke in such pain. Normally, this precocious and reassuring child always wore a calm smile.
This situation tormented Hiashi. After all, Ryosuke was a child he had watched grow up, not his biological son, but still his son-in-law. Ryosuke's importance to him was no less than his own daughter, Hinata, or his clan.
"Come on...Ryosuke!"
With nothing else he could do, Hiashi could only stay by Ryosuke's side, cheering him on.
Meanwhile, Ryosuke was in agony.
This was completely different from the first transformation. When the progress bar reached full value the first time, the pain was mostly confined to his eyes and lasted less than half a day. But this time, his entire body was experiencing tearing pain.
Not only were veins bulging around his eye sockets from the strain, but veins were also visible in many parts of his body due to the immense pressure.
Sweat had already soaked his clothes, and his pale hair looked like seaweed floating on water.
However, Ryosuke did not release his pain through shouting. Instead, he gritted his teeth and endured it.
Although part of his mind was occupied by the sensory overload, most of his thoughts were focused on the changes in his body.
As time passed and the pain intensified, the changes brought by this transformation became more apparent.
His mental and physical strength increased...
The flexibility and strength of his limbs improved...
The abilities of his Byakugan advanced significantly, with a notably expanded perception range...
If there was any emotion that could make Ryosuke ignore the pain, it was the excitement of watching his strength increase rapidly.
Feelings of joy and excitement surged, making the pain seem more bearable.
He was not someone with a special fetish for pain, but if this agony brought strength, he wouldn't mind.
From Hiashi's perspective, Ryosuke, who had been in unbearable pain, suddenly seemed to show signs of improvement.
Although he still clenched his fists as if using all his strength to fight the transformation, the emotion in his eyes shifted from pain to something else...
When Ryosuke's condition finally stabilized, three days had passed.
Time flew by. Although he didn't know the exact duration, the cycle of day and night indicated that several days had elapsed.
During these three days, his father stayed by his side almost constantly. No one was allowed to enter the study, not even Hinata or Hanabi.
Each mealtime, a shadow clone would deliver food to the house. Although Ryosuke often couldn't eat, the meals never ceased and grew increasingly lavish.
Hyuga Hiashi stayed by his side throughout the transformation, ready for any emergency, without relaxing for a moment.
It seems... it's over.
Ryosuke's curled-up body slowly began to stretch out.
From Hiashi's view, he watched as Ryosuke struggled to rise from the ground.
He half-squatted, supporting his knees with his hands, and slowly straightened his back.
Drops of sweat as big as beans slid down Ryosuke's cheeks, dripping onto the ground.
But his usual smile returned to his face, brighter than ever before.
"I... seem to have become a lot stronger."
A hoarse voice came from Ryosuke's dry throat.
The pain still lingered, but the major changes in his body were subsiding, organs were resuming normal function, and blood flow was slowing.
Everything inside him... was calming down.
"Do you want anything to eat? I'll get you a glass of water," Hinata Hiashi asked nervously.
"Thank you, father. I am indeed a little hungry."
Ryosuke nodded gratefully. After three days without food, he was ravenous, especially after such a transformative ordeal.
"Call me if you need anything, I'll go find Aliang to prepare it for you." Hiashi quickly disappeared from the room.
His movements were swift, using the Body Flicker Technique to speed up.
The love and care that Hiashi usually struggled to express had been fully evident over these three days.
The feeling of being cared for was comforting, and Ryosuke slowly relaxed his body.
As he did, the changes in his body completely stabilized.
In his mind, the progress bar had reset to zero. If nothing unexpected happened, the next transformation would be in three years, when he was nine years old.
