"Xiao Nan, it's not that I don't give you the Death Mask, it's that the Death Mask is not in my hand!" Hinata Ichiro said.

"Not in your hands?" Xiao Nan asked in surprise, "Hinata Ichiro, how could the Death Mask not be in your hands?"

"Konan, why is the Grim Reaper Mask in my hand?" Hinata Ichiro asked rhetorically.

Hinata Ichiro's rhetorical question made Xiao Nan stunned.

"Xiao Nan, it's not me who wants the Yin Attribute Nine-Tails, it's you!" Looking at Xiao Nan who was stunned, Hinata Ichiro said, "Therefore, there is no need for me to have a Death Mask!"

Hinata's words made Xiao Nan, who had just reacted, feel a wave of anger in his heart.

"Ichiro, since you don't have a Death Mask, then why are you pit us?" Xiao Nan accused.

"Xiao Nan, I didn't cheat you!" Hinata Ichiro said.

"Ichiro, why didn't you pit us if you didn't hand over the Grim Reaper mask to me!"

"Konan, you should recall the deal I made with Madara Uchiha!" Hinata Ichiro said.

Hearing Hinata Ichiro's words, Konan carefully recalled the contents of his transaction with Uchiha Obito.

"Ichiro, could it be that the method of lifting the Yin Attribute Nine-Tails Seal does not include the Death Mask?" Xiao Nan asked.

"Yes!" Hinata Ichiro said, "Xiaonan, the Grim Reaper Mask is a seal lifting prop, not a seal lifting method!"

"So, you can't say that I cheated you - after all, the method of lifting the Yin Attribute Nine-Tails Seal I gave you is real!"

Depending on the position, the perception of one thing is also different - in Hinata Ichiro's view, the Death Mask and the seal lifting method are two different things, but in Konan's view, the Death Mask and the sealing lifting method are the same thing.

However, since it is clear that Hinata Ichiro does not have a death mask in his hands, Xiao Nan, who knows what he should do next, will no longer continue to entangle with Hinata Ichiro about whether the 'Xiao' organization has been pitted.

"Ichiro, where is the Death Mask?" asked Konan.

Hinata Ichiro was embarrassed to hear Xiao Nan ask him where the Death Mask was, and Hinata Ichiro was neither willing to deceive Xiao Nan with lies, nor willing to let the 'Akatsuki' organization easily obtain the Death Mask.

Hinata Ichiro thought for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Xiao Nan, the Death Mask is a treasure of the Uzumaki Clan, do you think I will know where the treasure of the Uzumaki Clan is hidden?"

"......" Hinata Ichiro's rhetorical question left Xiao Nan speechless.

After a while.

"Ichiro, without the Grim Reaper Mask, you really can't lift the seal of the Yin Attribute Nine-Tails?" Xiao Nan asked.

"Xiao Nan, if you want to use the seal lifting method I provided to break the seal of the Yin Attribute Nine-Tails, then you must get the Death Mask!" Hinata Ichiro said.

"Ichiro, can the Grim Reaper Mask be replicated?" asked Konan.

"Konan, I don't know if the Reaper Mask can be copied!" Hinata Ichiro said, "Besides, even if the Reaper Mask can be copied, you who don't know the inner structure of the Reaper Mask can't do it!"

"Ichiro, do you have the inner workings of the Death Mask in your hands?" asked Konan.

"Hehe!" Regarding Xiao Nan's question, Hinata Ichiro smiled and did not reply.

Seeing Hinata Ichiro like this, Xiao Nan knew that Hinata Ichiro did not hold the internal structure of the Death Mask in his hand.

"Ichiro, it's hard to do!"

"Xiao Nan, in the case that your 'Xiao' organization still wants to obtain the Yin Attribute Nine-Tails, even if things are difficult to do, your 'Xiao' organization must do it!" Hinata Ichiro said.

"Ichiro, you're not wrong!" Xiao Nan said, "Even if things are difficult to do, our 'Xiao' organization must continue to do it. ”

Speaking of this, something came to mind in Xiao Nan's mind.

"Ichiro, Keiko and Kushina on the island are both from the Uzumaki clan, right?" asked Konan.

Hearing Konan mention Keiko Uzumaki and Kushina Uzumaki, Hinata Ichiro understood Konan's thoughts.

"Yes!" Hinata Ichiro said, "Konan, Keiko, and Kushina are all members of the Uzumaki clan!"

"Ichiro, could the Grim Reaper Mask be in Keiko or Kushina's hands?" asked Konan.

"Konan, the Grim Reaper Mask is not in Keiko or Kushina's hands!" Hinata Ichiro replied.

"Ichiro, do Keiko and Kushina know the whereabouts of the Death Mask?" Konan asked, "Or, do Keiko and Kushina know the inner workings of the Death Mask?"

"Xiao Nan, if you want to get the Death Mask, I think your 'Xiao' organization should shift your attention to the family that attacked the Vortex Clan in the first place!" Hinata Ichiro began.

"Oh!?" Konan asked, "Ichiro, why do you think so?"

"Xiao Nan, after the destruction of the Vortex Country, it is impossible for these families of the group attack Vortex clan not to divide up the treasures collected by the Uzumaki clan!" Hinata Ichiro said, "After all, it is impossible for the Uzumaki clan who did not know that they would be attacked by the group to transfer the treasures they collected in advance!"

"Ichiro, what you said is very reasonable!" Xiao Nan nodded and said, "With the vast majority of the Uzumaki Clan's clan killed, it is impossible for these families who attack the Vortex Clan not to divide the treasures collected by the Vortex Clan as trophies!"

"However, there is another possibility!"

"Xiaonan, what kind of possibilities exist?" asked Hinata Ichiro.

"Ichiro, in the original battle for the destruction of the Vortex Country, the Uzumaki Clan, who saw that the Vortex Country was about to perish, might let their people secretly take away some of the treasures!" Xiao Nan replied, "Moreover, in order to continue the family inheritance, the Uzumaki Clan let their people secretly take away this part of the treasure, which is very likely to be the most precious treasure of the Uzumaki Clan!"

"Xiao Nan, I don't agree with you!" Hinata Ichiro said, "I don't think the Uzumaki clan will let their people secretly take away some of the treasures!"

"Ichiro, why don't you think that the Uzumaki clan will let their people secretly take away some of the treasures?" asked Xiao Nan.

"Xiao Nan, for a bloodline limit family where most of the clansmen were killed, the most important thing is to keep the family bloodline, not the family treasures!" Hinata Ichiro replied, "After all, the family inheritance of the bloodline limit family is inherited by the family bloodline, not by the family treasure!"

"If the Uzumaki Clan allows their people to secretly take away some of the treasures, it is very likely that the Vortex Clan will become history completely - it is impossible for the rulers of the Uzumaki Clan not to understand the truth that beauty and charm are attractive and wealth is moving!"

"Ichiro, it seems that if you want to get the Death Mask, you have to start with these families of the Attack Vortex Clan!"

"Xiao Nan, I wish you 'Xiao' organization to find the Death Mask as soon as possible!" Hinata Ichiro said.

"Thank you!" Xiao Nan thanked.

"That's right!" Hinata Ichiro asked, "Xiao Nan, after getting the Death Mask, who are you 'Xiao' organization going to let lift the seal of the Yin Attribute Nine-Tails?"

"Ichiro, we haven't decided on who to let lift the seal of the Yin Attribute Nine-Tails!"

"Xiao Nan, isn't your 'Xiao' organization ready to let Orochimaru lift the seal of the Yin Attribute Nine-Tails?" asked Hinata Ichiro.

"Yes!" Xiao Nandao, "Ichiro, we are not going to let Orochimaru go and lift the seal of the Yin Attribute Nine-Tails!"

"Xiao Nan, why aren't you 'Xiao' organization going to let Orochimaru go and lift the seal of the Yin Attribute Nine-Tails?" Hinata Ichiro asked.

"Ichiro, although you suggested that we let Orochimaru go and lift the seal of the Yin Attribute Nine-Tails, the time Orochimaru joined the 'Xiao' organization is too short after all!"

When Konan finished speaking, Hinata Ichiro understood the underlying meaning of Konan's words.

"Xiao Nan, could it be that your 'Akatsuki' organization is observing Orochimaru's loyalty?" Hinata Ichiro asked with a strange face.

"Ichiro, your guess is right!" Xiao Nandao, "We are observing whether Orochimaru is loyal to 'Xiao'!"

"After we confirm that Orochimaru is loyal to 'Xiao', then we will let Orochimaru lift the seal of the Yin Attribute Nine-Tails!"

"Xiao Nan, it seems that your 'Xiao' organization doesn't want Orochimaru to lift the seal of the Yin Attribute Nine-Tails!" Hinata Ichiro said.

"Ichiro, do you think it is impossible for Orochimaru to be loyal to 'Akatsuki'?"

"Xiao Nan, you 'Xiao' organization is really thinking too much!" Hinata Ichiro said, "From what I know about Orochimaru, he will not be loyal to anyone or any organization!"

"Ichiro, although Orochimaru used to be a Konoha ninja, there shouldn't be any in-depth contact between you and Orochimaru!" Xiao Nan asked, "So, how did you know that Orochimaru would not be loyal to anyone or any organization?"

"Xiao Nan, I don't want to say more about how I know that Orochimaru will not be loyal to anyone or any organization!" Hinata Ichiro said, "If you 'Xiao' organization are willing to believe what I say, then don't observe Orochimaru's loyalty;

After Ighiro Hinata finished speaking, Xiao Nan looked at Ichiro Hinata carefully.

"Ichiro, I'll pass on your opinion of Orochimaru to Nagato!" "Konando, "As for whether Nagato will believe your opinion of Orochimaru, I don't know!"

"Xiao Nan, what I care about is whether you will believe my opinion of Orochimaru!" Hinata Ichiro said, "As for whether Nagato will believe my opinion of Orochimaru, I don't care—after all, I don't want to get deeply involved in your 'Xiao' organization!"

"Ichiro, I believe your opinion of Orochimaru!"

"Xiao Nan, if you believe my opinion on Orochimaru!" Hinata Ichiro admonished, "In the future, if you team up with Orochimaru to carry out a mission, then you must guard against Orochimaru!"

"Ichiro, I'll be careful!"

Subsequently, Hinata Ichiro and Konan exchanged some other things with each other, and then they went their separate ways.

——————————

Somewhere on Yingzhou Island.

Considering that the object of justice he was going to seek justice was the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village, Hinata, who was separated from Xiaonan, came to a certain place on Yingzhou Island.

"Yugi, Azabuyi, Samui, the three of you come here!" Looking at the two Yugi, Azabuyi and Samui, who were practicing ninjutsu, Hinata Ichiro said.

Hearing Hinata Ichiro's words, the two Yugito, Azabuyi and Samui stopped practicing ninjutsu.

"Ichiro, what are you looking for the three of us?" Azabuyi asked.

"Azabuyi, I need to apply a special sealing technique to the three of you!" Hinata Ichiro said.

"Hinata Ichiro, why did you impose a sealing spell on the three of us!" Hearing this, Samui said with a dissatisfied expression.

"Samyi, just the three of you have cultivated the natural chakra!" Hinata Ichiro said.

"Ichiro, apart from the three of us, will other people who cultivate natural chakras also be sealed by you?" asked Azabui.

"Azabuyi, only the three of you will be sealed by me!" Hinata Ichiro said frankly.

As soon as Hinata Ichiro's words fell, the faces of the two Yugi, Azabuyi, and Samui all changed.

"It's not fair!" Samui accused angrily, "Hinata Ichiro, you're discriminating against the three of us!"

"Ichiro, can I know the reason for this?" Azabui asked, looking at Hinata Ichiro.

"Azabui, do you still need me to tell you why I applied the sealing technique to the three of you?" Hinata Ichiro said.

"......" Hinata Ichiro's words silenced Azabui.

"Hinata Ichiro, all three of us have been surrendered and loyal to you!" said the two Yugi.

"Yukito, although I'm not very old, I can still distinguish between sincerity and falsehood!" Hinata Ichiro said, "Therefore, I still know whether the three of you are truly loyal to me. ”

"Ichiro, the hearts of the three of us are tilting towards you little by little!" Azabu said, "So, please give us some more time!"

"Azabui, I do feel that the attitude of the three of you towards me is getting better and better day by day!" Hinata Ichiro said, "However, something forces me to wait any longer!"

"Ichiro, what is it that forces you to wait any longer?" Azabuyi asked.

"Azabui, I'll tell you three after I put a seal on the three of you!" Hinata Ichiro said.

"Ichiro, aren't you afraid that this behavior of yours will hurt the hearts of the three of us who are leaning towards you little by little?" Azabui asked.

"Azabui, I know that this act of mine will hurt the hearts of the three of you who are favoring me little by little, but I have to do it!" Hinata Ichiro said, "However, when I am sure that the three of you are truly loyal to me, I will break the seal of the three of you!"

As soon as Hinata Ichiro finished speaking, Samui immediately spoke: "Hinata Ichiro, I don't accept that you impose a seal on me!"

Azabuyi pulled Rasamui and asked, "Ichiro, since you must apply the sealing technique to us, please tell us about the effect of the sealing technique on us?"

"Azabui, this is no problem!" Hinata Ichiro said, "I can tell you about the effect of the sealing technique on the three of you!"
