Chapter Eighty-Nine: Undercurrent

"Long time no see, sister."

When I came in with some trepidation, I heard the sound of the girl in the room laughing.

Hinata took a deep breath and looked directly at the girl in the room, her eyes and pupils were exactly the same as her own, but unlike her own short hair, the other party's hair was not only long, but also spread out, but it was very carefully processed and did not look messy at all.

"Hanabi, why are you here?"

Hinata, who was originally practicing with Shino, was notified by the ninja of the split family, and she came to the station of a hotel in the country of ghosts.

This place was temporarily requisitioned by the Konoha Hyuga clan, and not only the shadows of Konoha were arranged around it, but there was also a small ninja force in the Oni Country to protect the safety of this inn.

The guests who were originally in the hotel were also arranged in other hotels, which can basically be regarded as the protection of the second daughter of the Konoha Hinata family.

Even in Ziyuan City, where there is enough protection, the kind of guy who takes risks and wants to plunder the white eyes may still exist.

Hinata, who is the eldest daughter, is also under strict protection, but it is not as obvious as the second daughter's fireworks.

It's just that Hinata is a little nervous and a little confused about the arrival of fireworks.

"Why, didn't the clan explain it to you before you came?"

Hanabi didn't answer the rhetorical question.

"Father, he didn't tell me..."

"Really? Actually, it's nothing.,I'm just arranged by the sect elders.,As the representative of the sect of Konoha Hinata.,To watch tomorrow's third joint middle ninja exam.。。 ”

Hanabi is playing with a kunai in her hand, and on the handle of the kunai's ring, there is also a pink doll.

In terms of weapons, it is as if they are toys to kill time, not for combat.

Or what the other party means - in her eyes, there is no difference between ninja and toys.

After all, it's a sister who can put 'interest in cultivation' and often talk about it.,Naturally, the mind is very different from ordinary people.。

"Then what are you looking for me to do now?"

Although she is a younger sister who has been playing since she was a child, Hinata can't figure out her sister's mind many times.

While playing with the kunai in his hand, Hanabi walked over and said, "The clan is very disappointed that you lost in the qualifiers. ”

An extremely bland sentence, but Hinata couldn't help but tremble a little.

"Even my father would feel shameless even if he enjoyed so many excellent teachers, but he stopped at such an extent."

"Yes, I'm sorry"

Hinata replied in a whisper.

"I don't need to say that, after all, it's not a big deal for me. I think those elders are making too much of a fuss,

You're just a stupid sister. ”

Hanabi chuckled.

"Fireworks!"

Even if she has a weak personality, but she is called a stupid person by her sister, Hinata can't help but put on a straight face, ready to show her majesty as an older sister.

It's just that I just looked at the fireworks, and when I saw the pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, I couldn't help but lower my eyebrows again, and my fingers were unconsciously twisted together again, confessing my inner uneasiness and panic.

"Okay, I'm not going to tease you. It's not my job to reprimand you, sister. I just want to take this opportunity to comfort the stupid sister who is in a lost mood at the moment. But looking at you now, it doesn't seem like you need me to comfort you anymore. ”

"Thank you..."

It seems that she also feels the concern of the fireworks, and Hinata's heart warms.

"Is it because of Naruto Uzumaki?"

"Hmm, Naruto-kun, huh?"

Hinata came back to her senses and felt that she had subconsciously said something embarrassing, so she covered her mouth and began to fall backwards.

"Don't be so nervous, you can fool others, but you can't fool me. Sure enough, a woman in love is very interesting, a sister like this,

No matter how many times you watch it, it will be very interesting. ”

Hanabi looked up and down Hinata and said with a flirtatious laugh.

"I don't even say it's true!"

Hinata blushed.

"I know, it's just your unrequited love. As far as I can tell, Naruto Uzumaki seems to just treat you as a friend. ”

"How do you know?"

"Don't underestimate the intelligence capabilities of the Hyuga family. This kind of thing can be known with a little finger touch. ”

"That's it, it's okay, it's enough for me to just look at Naruto-kun from afar..."

Seeing his sister's unambitious reaction, Hanako was suddenly a little speechless.

You are the eldest lady of the Zong family, with a lot of money and countless servants, can't you be more confident? She really wanted to teach her sister like this.

No, it's better to say that it's a picture of teaching my sister as a sister, and it's also very interesting.

Just thinking about it makes Hanabi feel extremely happy.

It's hard to imagine that after receiving the elite education of the Hyuga family, you can still maintain such a simple side, but Hanabi didn't expect it.

As before, there is no growth.

It's just the amount of food and the breasts that grow!

"Forget it, it's your business, you can do what you want. Calling you over this time, in addition to wanting to catch up with you, there is actually a second mission, which is about Brother Ningci. ”

Hanabi's expression suddenly became serious.

"Brother Ningci?"

Hinata's eyes widened.

"Regardless of the separation of the family, the Zong family's side will try their best to order Brother Ning Ci to win the opponent in the first round of tomorrow's finals!"

"I remember that Brother Ningci's opponent in the first round tomorrow is..."

"Aya Chiba. His mother, Hinata Ayane, was a member of the Konoha family, and when she left Konoha at the beginning, she took a lot of people from the branch family with her, and also caused casualties among some of the clan members. For the Zong family, this name is a taboo-like existence. ”

Hanabi said seriously.

"Really?" Hinata was a little confused, and then said, "However, Brother Ningji is very strong..."

"Brother Ningci's white eyes are flawed."

Before Hinata finished speaking, Hanabi said directly.

Hinata looked stunned, slightly silent, and looked restlessly at the ground.

Although she is only exposed to it, as a member of the sect family, she still knows some cruel truths.

The dividers who have been planted with the curse mark of the caged bird will have some unknown defects when they open their eyes.

In addition, in terms of the stability of soft boxing, it is also slightly inferior to the Zongjia.

However, compared to stability, this deficiency can be compensated for by acquired efforts. But the defects on the white eye, no matter how hard you try to cultivate, it won't help.

"The Hyuga clan of the Oni Country, except for the new generation, the previous generation used to be members of the split family, and they know the white eyes of the split family better than the clan family,

What kind of defects do you have. A pair of flawed white eyes, against a pair of flawless white eyes, as long as the two sides do not open the gap in strength, the failure must be a separation. ”

"If you lose, what will happen to Brother Ningci?"

Hinata asked worriedly.

After Hanabi said this, she felt that Ning Ci's hope of victory tomorrow was very slim.

"You can't escape the necessary punishment, and maybe Uncle Hiza will be implicated. Although it will not die, but teaching the loser a lesson can comfort your fragile heart a little. ”

"But, this is the same as Uncle Hinata-"

"Sister."

Hanabi interrupted Hinata again.

"Fireworks?"

"Maybe in normal times, the Zong family can dominate everything in the divided family... But in the hearts of those older generation of sect elders, there has always been a dream demon who can't get past it. For them, Hinata Ayane is a taboo, and it is also an existence that they hate deeply and can't wait to get rid of as soon as possible! ”

Because as long as it exists, the people of the sect will feel that their majesty has been provoked and questioned.

Thousands of years of clan rules have been broken, and they can't wait for that taboo to end in an extremely miserable end.

But that's not the case.

The Zong family is no longer powerless to prevent this from happening.

Therefore, this unwillingness and hostility can only be transferred to the weak heirs of the other party, so as to maintain the majesty of the sect family.

Although it was a bit ridiculous, this was what the Zong family was thinking at the moment.

The sect family that was forced into such a situation could only use this method of self-deception to maintain the little self-esteem that was left.

As if as long as he did so, he would definitely be able to maintain his legitimacy.

"In this case, Brother Ningci he..."

"That's right, he just happened to be assigned to a group with Chiba Aya and caused an accident. No, perhaps, this is the providence that arises from the darkness. In the end, the Hyuga of Konoha is orthodox, or the Hyuga of the Oni Country is orthodox, as an ancient famous family, the issue of face, but pay special attention. ”

Hanabi walked over to Hinata and smiled at her.

It's better to say that this is a common problem that wealthy families are used to.

"Yes, yes?"

"Yes, a dog that bites people doesn't bark, although you and I are both clansmen, but now Konoha Hinata, is going downhill, it is an indisputable fact."

Hinata in the country of demons has never tried to prove anything, but no one can ignore the Hyuga clan here.

On the contrary, the Hyuga clan of Konoha kept making their voices heard...... Instead, it exposes the fact of its own weakness.

"So, sister, I hope that when Brother Ning Ci fails, he won't intercede for him in front of the Zong family. Otherwise, you will immediately lose your status as the heir of the clan. ”

The dignity of the Zong family is undoubtedly sensitive and very fragile, if Hinata adds fuel to the fire again, it is estimated that the Zong family, which was still supporting her, will immediately give up Hinata.

Looking at Hinata, who was still struggling, Hanabi's face calmed down, and his tone was a little soothing.

"And even if you plead, it's useless. They will not show mercy to separation. ”

The relationship between the clan and the split family has long been bad.

In the eyes of the current clan, the split family is an 'enemy', or has the possibility of becoming an 'enemy'.

Otherwise, they will not imprison the family members of the separated ninja in order to control the loyalty of the clan.

Hanabi knew very well why he couldn't come because he wanted to go to the country of ghosts to watch the day difference of the Ningji game.

It's not because the Zong family happened to arrange a task for him and missed his son's game, but because the father and son couldn't come out at the same time.

Once the father and son come out at the same time, there is a possibility of mutiny.

Father vs. Son...... One of them must remain in Konoha as a hostage'.

Looking at Hinata, who had left here in despair, Hanabi felt that he had gone too far by doing this.

Just as she was thinking this, Tokuma Hinata stepped out of the shadows in the corner of the wall as a bodyguard.

"Hinata-sama is still as kind as ever."

Although kindness is a good thing, this kindness is meaningless in the face of family regulations.

As a separation, Tokuma is most aware of this fact.

As the guardian of the fireworks, he came to the land of ghosts together... It means that his family, wife and children are all being supervised in Konoha at this time.

If he behaves unusually, his family will suffer.

Due to the lack of manpower in the sect family, there is also the help of the high-level Konoha behind the scenes.

As the only remaining Blood Inheritance Limit Ninja Clan in Konoha now, the higher-ups don't want Hinata to have any more unstable turmoil at this time.

Even if such supervision is very inhumane, it has to be said that this is indeed the only effective way to prevent the betrayal of the family.

It's just that how long such a distorted regulatory approach can last is a heavy topic worth discussing.

"yes, what a-breaking stupid sister. It's time to visit over there, are you ready? ”

Hanabi looked at Tokuma.

"Yes, Hanabi-sama, it's ready over there."

Tokuma nodded.

"Then, without further ado, let's go now."

Hanabi continued to play with the kunai with the puppet toy in his hand, and walked outside.

"Kazekage-sama, acting Mizukage-sama, the two of you can come to visit tomorrow's third final, it's really brilliant."

In the reception hall of an international guild hall in Shion City, Shiraishi, as the Minister of Military Affairs of the Oni Country, personally met with the four generations of Kazekage Luo Sha of Shayin Village, and the agent of Mitsuki Village, Terumi Ming, who also came to the Oni Country from afar to visit the finals.

Compared with the latter, the former Fengying Luosha and Shiraishi have a 'fate-like deep friendship'.

The past a few years ago is still vivid and unforgettable.

The fact that the other party was able to come to the country of ghosts was indeed beyond Shiraishi's expectations.

"Where, because this is a rare event, so after thinking about it again, I still don't want to miss this feast."

After Luo Sha shook hands with Shiraishi, his expression was calm, and his tone was very relaxed, without showing the slightest hostility.

It was as if Baishi's 'care' for Shayin Village a few years ago had long been forgotten by the other party, and it did not cause him the slightest wave.

However, Shiraishi knew that Luo Sha had not forgotten that unbearable past.

But to be able to be so calm... It's one of the five shadows.

Strength aside, this shameful and courageous bearing is not something that ordinary people have.

Thinking of this, Baishi has some expectations for what kind of surprises Luo Sha can bring to himself after the transformation.

He didn't expect that Luo Sha would be able to recover from his frustration so quickly.

Shiraishi was thinking about whether the stimulation caused to Luo Sha at the beginning was still not big enough, and further stimulation was needed to completely break the other party's will......

But there's no point in thinking about that now.

The Sand Hidden Village is now sharp and restrained, secretly accumulating strength like Konoha and not giving the country of ghosts any opportunity to take advantage of, which makes Shiraishi quite regretful.

Fortunately, the plan to split the traditional five powers has succeeded, and the country of Oni has also taken this opportunity to come to power and become the sixth power, which is still within the scope of Shiraishi's acceptance.

"It's a feast indeed, and I'm looking forward to your son's performance in the final."

Bai Shi nodded slightly, since Luo Sha was so polite, he was not good at talking to each other, and he also showed his kindness.

Luo Sha also nodded, then looked at Terumi next to him, and said, "I didn't expect His Excellency Acting Mizukage to come, it seems that Wuyin Village also attaches great importance to this final." ”

"Anyway, there are also two shinobi in our village who have made it to the finals, and in the event that Mizukage-sama can't come, I, the next candidate for Mizukage, can only serve. Compared to this, it seems that the Hokage of Konoha didn't come over. I remember that on the list, Konoha entered the finals, and there were five people in total. ”

Terumi glanced around, but found no trace of the Konoha Sandaime Hokage.

"Your Excellency Hokage is too old to travel long distances, but Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, is a guest in Shion City at this time, and can represent His Excellency Hokage to visit the finals of this Zhongnin exam."

Shiraishi laughed.

As for the rock and cloud hidden... It is estimated that it was because none of the lower ninjas in the village advanced to the finals, so they did not send decent representatives to visit, but only sent a few upper ninjas to record the process of the finals.

After all, Yunyin's thunder shadow pays great attention to face.

And Iwakuin probably won't be able to come.

There was a problem with the people in the village again, and the matter of the Zhongnin exam had long been ignored.

For Iwakure, retrieving the missing person is the top priority.

The three of them sat in the reception hall and chatted casually, the atmosphere was quite harmonious, and they did not mention any interesting contradictions between the two sides.

After talking for a while, Luo Sha had a solemn face and inquired about Shiraishi and Terumi: "I don't know if you have heard of the recent appearance of a mysterious organization that targets the hunter pillar force?" ”

Shiraishi smiled but didn't say a word.

Terumi nodded and replied, "I've heard a little about this matter. Why, what does Kazekage-sama mean..."

"I would say that this organization is extremely harmful. And as far as I know, this organization has absorbed many dangerous traitorous ninjas, such as Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas of Konoha, and the Itachi of the Exterminator, as well as the Red Sand Scorpion of our Sand Hidden Village, and even the Rank Misty Hidden Ninja Ichigan Oni Shark, who once assassinated the last Daimyo of the Land of Water, is also among them."

Raksha narrated as he observed Shiraishi and Terumi's expressions.

Compared with Shiraishi's casualness, Terumi's expression did fluctuate slightly, which made Luo Sha feel playful.

"For the pursuit of the dried persimmon ghost shark, we have not given up in the Fog Hidden Village, according to the report of the pursuit force, the other party did form a double team with Konoha's renegade Uchiha Itachi. Kazekage-sama, what are you doing with this at this time? ”

Terumi asked.

"To prevent it from happening. As you all know, the Tailed Beast is the most important weapon of the country, and I believe that both of you are aware of the dangers of such an organization that takes human pillar power as the hunting goal. It's not clear what they're trying to accomplish with the Tailed Beasts, but if left unchecked, it's likely to cause international turmoil... For example, the Fourth Ninja World War. ”

Luo Sha said seriously.

"Isn't that too alarmist, Kazekage-sama?"

"Not at all. According to the information leaking from Konoha, the group has obtained several tailed beasts. In the Land of Waves, not long ago, that organization obtained the second tail of Yunyin Village. ”

Luo Sha looked at Shiraishi.

"The little girl did fight two ninjas from a certain organization because of the two tails, one of them was Deidara from the demolition unit of Iwain Village, and the other was an unknown puppeteer. Earlier, Lord Kazekage mentioned that one of the members of that organization was the Red Sand Scorpion, which is probably the true identity of the puppeteer. However, this has nothing to do with the country of ghosts. As we all know, there are no tailed beasts in our oni country. No matter how much the organization acts, it will not cause trouble for no reason. In addition, the military strength of the Oni Country is weak, so it is inconvenient to participate in it. ”

Shiraishi expressed his refusal.

Raksha was not surprised, Konoha made contact with the Oni Country many times, but each time he received a reply of refusal.

This is also a matter of course, although the country of ghosts is a big country, but there is no tailed beast.

That mysterious organization will probably not take the opportunity to cause trouble and provoke the terrifying country of military power for no reason.

This organization will only target ninja villages with tailed beasts.

What Luo Sha hopes for more is a response from Zhaomei.

If you can convince Terumi Ming, then it will not be difficult to convince the four generations of Mizukage Yakura.

Because the fourth generation of Mizukage Yakura is not only the Mizukage of Fog Hidden Village, but also a human pillar force.

The tailed beast in his body will become the target of that organization.

It can be said that Wuyin Village is a natural ally of Sand Hidden and Konoha and can definitely be pulled into the alliance and become a firm comrade-in-arms of Sand and Konoha .

"I'll discuss this matter with Mizukage-sama when I get back."

Terumi was silent for a while before giving this answer.

did not express a clear refusal, and in Luo Sha's view, the matter of persuading Wu Yin to enter the alliance has a success rate of nearly seventy percent or more.

"Then please. As for the finals, I'll be there on time tomorrow, so I'll say goodbye next. ”

The goal has been achieved, and Luo Sha has the meaning of leaving.

Although he had basically come out of that shadow, seeing Shiraishi still doing it beside him, he couldn't help but feel some diaphragm, and it was impossible to maintain true composure.

"Dealing with the Xiao organization together, I didn't expect him to mention it in person at such a time."

After Raksha left, Terumi spoke.

"It's to avoid suspicion, if it's sneaky, it will make people suspect the purpose. Instead, make things clear to my face,

On the contrary, it is less alarming. It's a pity..."

Shiraishi shook his head.

"What a pity?"

Terumi felt that there was something in Shiraishi's words.

"This is information that was just sent from Wuyin Village."

Shiraishi took out a scroll and threw it at Terumi.

Terumi easily took advantage of the scroll, opened it and took a look, glanced at it roughly, and immediately shrank her pupils, as if she had seen something extremely shocking.

"This is..."

"It's not just us, the Land of Fire and the Land of the Wind have the intention of starting the Fourth Shinobi War, and they are secretly trying to win over the Land of Water"

On the water country's side, the daimyo of the water country recently began to contact Yakura and seemed to be exploring the possibilities.

Then this information fell into the hands of Shiraishi.

Although the plan to besiege the country of ghosts is still in the planning stage, the determination of the country of fire and the country of wind is very strong, and the country of water is also moving.

Because of some of the things that happened at the bottom of the water country at this time, the water country daimyo mansion suspected that the ghost country was doing it, so the water country daimyo mansion at this time was also full of suspicion and hostility towards the ghost country.

"Looks like you're pushing them too hard."

Although Terumi knew that the Land of Fire and the Country of Wind had been extremely close in recent years, she did not expect that the daimyo of these two countries would intend to set off the Fourth Ninja World War to target the Land of Demons. This is something Terumi never expected.

If it weren't for the recent daimyo of these two countries who communicated with the daimyo of the land of water, and the daimyo of the country of water looked for Yakura to discuss, they would still be kept in the dark.

So, Terumi glanced at Shiraishi and said with a smile:

"But I didn't expect that this information source was not the first to be sent from Konoha..."

Because when the Daimyo of the Land of Water discussed this matter with Yakura, she had already led people to the Land of Oni, so until now, she did not know about it.

"Probably because of the preparations, the three generations of Hokage were handed over to the ninja clan to handle it. For example, pigs, deer and butterflies. ”

Shiraishi knew that the roots of Konoha and the ninja forces had always been the most difficult place to infiltrate in the country of ghosts.

If the three generations of Hokage let those ninjas arrange the preparations for the Fourth Ninja World War, it would indeed be difficult for the Oni no Kuni to detect.

Moreover, the channels for purchasing war materials are also very careful, deliberately avoiding the actions of the Oni Country.

"In this way, there is no way to avoid the Fourth Ninja World War anyway."

Terumi sighed.

I actually thought of it with them, and I have to say that the daimyo of the Fire Country and the Wind Country are also quite far-sighted, and they have seen the harm of the system of the Ghost Country to these traditional powers.

Although the aristocracy retained their wealth, their power was largely exploited.

The inheritance of the secret art of the ninja clan will be revealed, and in addition to the ninja clan that does not have the blood inheritance limit realm that does not have large-scale transmission, the ninja clan that inherits the secret art will also be disbanded.

Because secret art does not rely on blood to inherit, if you find the right physique, you can spread it on a certain scale.

Among them, Konoha is the most.

It can be said that the system of the country of ghosts will weaken the status of the Konoha non-blooded limited ninja to the same level as the ordinary people, and the secret art will no longer form a monopoly market, but tend to be popularized.

There is no doubt that the country of demons and Konoha have no buffer room.

Unless the ninja class of Konoha is all out of power and loses power.

And the rest of the ninja villages, more or less, also have some ninjas who inherit secret arts, but they are not as serious as Konoha. But in the ninja village, the voices of these ninja clans are not only powerful, but also unified, and can interfere with the election of the shadow.

"Probably Nara Shikakuyu and the others saw it, after all, the other party is Konoha's current mind-schooling figure. With him giving advice to the current Konoha, it really can't be underestimated. ”

But no matter how smart he is, the other party is also from the ninja clan.

The position of the other party's Konoha upper ninja squad leader has his own efforts, but he sits firmly and big, and he also relies on the strength of the family in exchange for it. When contributing to the village, it is natural to seek benefits for the family. Otherwise, the other party's position as the leader of the upper ninja squad will come to an end with the help of losing the family.

"So what's next? The Akatsuki organization is also on the move. ”

Terumi asked.

"After the Zhongnin exam, we will negotiate, and first do a good job of the layout of the water country, no matter when, this is the most important thing."

Since the Land of Fire and the Country of Wind have secretly made such an arrangement, then they will definitely go to win over the remaining Land Country and the Land of Thunder.

Shiraishi knows very well that the country of fire and the country of wind will not act rashly until the country of ghosts is completely isolated and has the confidence of victory.

On the contrary, they will continue to show weakness to the enemy and paralyze the country of ghosts.
