"No need."

Rizu looked at Guimu with an ugly face, since Guimu dared to say this, he must be sure, why should he bother to humiliate himself again.

"Katsuragi, do you really have to do this!?"

Looking at the expressionless Katsuragi, Hizoku asked in a deep voice, he also saw Katsuragi's purpose at the moment, in addition to wanting the Shikimi to protect Hinata, he also had the intention of showing his strength, the patriarch of the dignified Hyuga clan didn't hold out for ten seconds in the hands of Shikigami, let alone other clansmen.

"Hizo-sama, you don't know anything about the current ninja world, if you understand the strength of the enemy, you know that it is definitely not meaningless for me to do this."

Listening to Katsuragi's words, Hizo's brows were almost furrowed, and he was silent for a long time, but finally he compromised: "At most, there are two, and when Hinata is practicing soft boxing, they can't get close." ”

"Okay, thank you, Lady Hizo."

Katsuragi nodded, in fact, he also had some understanding of the difficulties of Hitsuki in his heart, but understanding is understanding, and what should be done must be done.

"Humph!"

After glancing coldly at Katsuragi and the Shikijin not far away, Hizoku turned around and left directly.

Then, Katsuragi didn't go back directly, and let the Shikigami go back first, and then came to Hinata's room alone.

"Katsuragi, it's so late, why are you here?"

Hinata who was reading a book in the house had a surprised expression on her face when she saw Katsuragi arrive, but she immediately reacted and asked in frustration, "Are you going to prepare for a mission?" ”

"Well, we'll leave tomorrow."

"So fast."

Hinata asked reluctantly, "Is the mission dangerous?" ”

"It's okay, just going to investigate." Katsuragi smiled and shook his head, and then instructed Hinata, "Tsunade-sama has arranged an area for my psychic beasts to live in, so I plan to keep them all in Konoha. ”

"Usually, I'll let Yanyanluo and Firefly stay with you, and if something happens, they can help you."

Hearing this, Hinata didn't understand what Katsuragi meant by wanting to protect her, and hurriedly refused with a worried face: "Katsuragi, I'm fine, you better take them with you, they are so strong, they will definitely be able to help you when you do the task." ”

"Don't worry."

Katsuragi took Hinata's little hand and said with a smile: "They are my psychic beasts, if there is really anything, I will summon them again." ”

"But..."

Hinata opened her mouth and was about to say something, but before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Katsuragi: "It's really okay, and it's their own will to stay in Konoha, I can't force them to do the task with me." ”

Seeing Katsuragi's tough attitude, Hinata had no choice but to nod helplessly, and then instructed uneasily: "Then if there is anything, remember to summon them." ”

"Okay."

Katsuragi also obediently agreed, and when the two looked at each other, the air suddenly quieted down a little, and a beautiful atmosphere surrounded him, making Hinata's face blush unconsciously.

"God... Weather... It's not early. ”

Hinata lowered her head and said hesitantly, although she was very reluctant in her heart, but if she continued like this, she would faint shyly.

"Is that what you want me to go?"

Katsuragi pretended to be pitiful and wanted to tease Hinata.

The simple-minded Hinata was really fooled, and immediately raised her head and said with a panicked face: "No, no... I... I just..."

Looking at Hinata, who was anxious and didn't know how to explain, Katsuragi couldn't help but smile, touched her smooth and fair face, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I know, I'm joking, look at you nervous." ”

Hinata lowered her head shyly again, not knowing what to say.

Looking at the lovely Hinata, Katsuragi felt more and more reluctant, but he also knew that there was no banquet in the world, and he was just going to investigate Xiao, according to his estimate, it would only take a few months to survive, or the worst situation.

"Okay, then I'll go, you can rest early."

Looking at the ostrich-shaped Hinata, Katsuragi got up and said, it was really not early now, and he was worried that if he stayed a little longer, Hinata outside the door would come in to catch him.

"Be careful."

Listening to the gentle instructions behind him, Katsuragi didn't look back, just waved his hand lightly, indicating that he knew, and left the room, looking at the stars in the sky, Katsuragi glanced in one direction, and his figure flashed and disappeared into the Hyuga clan.

"Ugh."

In the dark corner, Hizoku sighed silently as he watched Katsuragi's disappearing figure and returned to his room.

Early the next morning, when the sky was slightly bright, Katsuragi once again instructed the Shikimi to pay attention to the matters, and found Jiraiya and began to set off.

"Where are we going to investigate first?"

Out of the Konoha gate, Katsuragi asked Jiraiya, and before leaving, Tsunade specially instructed him, and this operation was completely under the command of Jiraiya.

"Let's go to the Land of Rain first and investigate."

Jiraiya replied to Katsuragi: "The last time I infiltrated, Payne immediately found out about my arrival, which means that he hasn't completely given up on being there, and if you go with me again this time, maybe something will be discovered." ”

"Okay."

Katsuragi nodded, he also felt that it was impossible for Payne to completely give up the Land of Rain, after all, it had been in business for so many years, and this was still the place where Xiao was originally established, which had a special meaning to Nagato and Konan.

"Katsuragi, did you say Nagato would be the prophesied child of fate?"

While resting on the way, Jiraiya asked Katsuragi that the Great Toad Immortal had prophesied to him that there were people among his apprentices who could bring about a change in the ninja world, although this change could be peace or destruction.

"Maybe, whether he's a child of destiny or not, I just know he's not doing the right thing now."

Katsuragi sighed, he can't completely deny this, although Naruto is the ultimate child of prophecy in the original book, but the current Payne is also in line with this prophecy.

Hearing Katsuragi's words, Jiraiya's face became firm, and he said, "That's right, whether he is a child of destiny or not, I will put him on the right path." ”

The strength of the two was strong, so they didn't rest much along the way, and soon rushed to the Land of Rain.

After sneaking into Yuyin Village, Katsuragi found that there was still light rain in the sky, and after glancing at Jiraiya, he let the rain fall on his body, in order to prevent Payne from being vigilant, Katsuragi at this time transformed into an ordinary man, as if he was Jiraiya's subordinate.

……

In a hidden cave, Tiandao Payne suddenly frowned, and said to Xiao Nan beside him: "Zilai is here again, and there is a person with him." ”

"Shall I lead them away, then?" Xiao Nan asked.

"No, your own words, it's too dangerous." Payne shook his head, pondered for a moment, and said, "I'd better go with you, I can't let him search here anymore." ”
