My Merlin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid stood frozen on the path, arms full of food parcels, having just come from the gamekeeper’s grounds and heading to patrol around the school and the Forbidden Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some young wizards always liked to appear in this area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He enjoyed patrolling while eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today was undoubtedly the most shocking day since Hagrid became Gamekeeper!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw a massive tree spirit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the tree spirit stood a student—not harmed, but behaving with extreme docility!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What on earth is this thing?” Hagrid set down his food and tried to move closer to Chu Yang, but the Whomping Willow mistook him for an attacker and swung a branch that sent the half-giant flying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid crashed straight into the nearby bushes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Hagrid flung away, Chu Yang cut off his magical output, grabbed a branch of the Whomping Willow in anger, and snapped: “Don’t Itachi dare hit people without cause!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden cutoff of magic caused the newly formed “intelligence” of the Whomping Willow to panic and rage; instinctively, it coiled its branches around Chu Yang, forcing him to produce more magic for itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll give Itachi what I want Itachi to have—Itachi wait if I don’t want to give it!” Chu Yang had always hated pets that gorged themselves daily but turned on their masters at critical moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guard-dogs that bit their owners—he’d beaten one every time he saw it, to teach them what “master” meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Hagrid was still tangled in the bushes, Chu Yang tore the branches off his body, leapt forward, and landed beside the Whomping Willow, delivering a powerful, crushing [Jiao Wa Zheng Quan] straight to its trunk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Whomping Willow’s trunk shattered like a broken mirror, cracks radiating outward from the fist imprint Chu Yang left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terror of death made the Whomping Willow’s nascent “intelligence” feel overwhelming threat; like an animal, it trembled and crawled to the ground in submission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yang spared its life then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used magic to heal the surface cracks on its body—a slap followed by a sweet date.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s got incredible strength,” Hagrid groaned, crawling out of the bushes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with his build, the blow had left him dizzy and disoriented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his curiosity about the Whomping Willow temporarily overrode all physical discomfort; he staggered forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can Itachi calm your pet? I mean no harm!” Hagrid shouted to Chu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine, come over,” Chu Yang explained. “This is the school’s Whomping Willow—not my pet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whomping Willow?” Hagrid stared, dumbfounded, at the tree now nearly twice its original size, muttering: “Are Itachi kidding me? This thing is a Whomping Willow? More like a Killing Willow…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Hagrid’s unfriendly remark,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Whomping Willow shook its massive body in protest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh! Oh! Calm down! Calm down!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid raised both hands, begging frantically—he didn’t want another swing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the Whomping Willow fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It understands me?” Hagrid blinked, then broke into ecstatic delight. “It’s communicating with me! This goes beyond plant behavior—it’s an animal! A magical creature!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a fanatic lover of magical creatures, Hagrid instantly adored this tree and generously forgave it for hitting him earlier!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hitting is love, scolding is care—it was just a little display of affection, not even painful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid thought, grimacing as he pressed his wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rushed over to Chu Yang, hugged the trunk, and happily rubbed against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pure stalker behavior—it made Chu Yang’s skin crawl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Whomping Willow didn’t seem pleased either; it stood up shakily and shook its body like shaking off lice, trying to dislodge Hagrid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid tumbled head over heels to the ground, grimacing as he looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw Chu Yang completely protected by the branches—unharmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How can it treat us so differently?” Hagrid grieved, staring at the Whomping Willow. He’d forgiven it, yet got nothing in return?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the fading sunset, several figures were approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Chu Yang, I’m glad to see Itachi unharmed—but could Itachi explain why the Whomping Willow I planted has become like this?” Dumbledore walked slowly forward in his silver robes, Professor McGonagall following behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yang leapt down from the Whomping Willow and bowed slightly before Dumbledore. “I’m not entirely sure of the cause, but my magic must have affected it, Headmaster Dumbledore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Magic?” Dumbledore suddenly understood, then said with a complex expression: “It seems we’ve underestimated your magic—its influence on plants, especially rare magical flora.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When Sprout told me about your performance at the wand shop, I should’ve realized this—I was negligent…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Dumbledore walked toward the Whomping Willow, his starry eyes scanning its condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall and Chu Yang followed in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The day’s shocks had left the elderly deputy headmaster mentally and physically drained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall looked as if she’d aged years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lacked the energy to argue with Chu Yang, but still praised him: “In that crisis, Itachi gave your classmates the chance to escape and drew the Whomping Willow away alone. Though reckless, it was a noble act—Slytherin gains ten points.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dumbledore suddenly turned back and smiled: “I’ll add another ten points to Slytherin personally—Itachi haven’t disappointed me, Mr. Chu Yang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yang shrugged. “Thank Itachi, Headmaster and Professor. I’m sure Slytherin students will be delighted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yesterday it was the Sorting Hat, today it’s the Whomping Willow—Itachi always surprise me. But Mr. Chu Yang, I sincerely hope tomorrow I hear Itachi’re quietly attending class. That’s the wish of a Company Commander.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment before, Dumbledore had been gentle; now he turned stern, warning: “And don’t let your classmates sleep on the floor—if Itachi keep this up, the second-floor infirmary beds won’t be enough!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In just two days, Slytherin’s sick students have filled the hospital to bursting! Do Itachi want to cripple the school infirmary?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yang shrugged, looking utterly innocent. “I can’t control this—it depends on whether they’ll behave. After all, I didn’t start the fights, and Itachi’re the one who told me to fight back. Unless Itachi give me a single room.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dumbledore fell silent, feeling utterly exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought perhaps he’d never should’ve advised Chu Yang to join Slytherin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d assumed Chu Yang would use his talent to slowly change Slytherin’s views on Muggles, reshaping their arrogant self-regard—but instead, the boy used fists!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting was a talent too—simple, brutal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizards solving problems without wands—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>close-combat wizards, then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1050,"2026-06-20T16:23:12.107Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e88c6a7376bf7d85cc61d0a3fdfc7895af85e91f243e0f9caa968d648fc5bae7","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-from-narut-chapter-46","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-from-narut-chapter-44",498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneously-transmigrated-starting-from-narut-cover.jpg"]
