The wind was a little noisy, and Hinata Yuzuru couldn't hear it clearly, so he simply stopped exercising, and pushed his glasses while calming his breathing.

"Hinata..... Smoked, if I'm not mistaken. ”

"What did you want to ask me?"

He asked.

With a slight jump, the girl jumped down the river embankment and slid down the slope covered with green grass, with a gentle and agile movement, a bit like skiing.

"Hey, huh."

With a lovely gentle luck sound, she glided to the edge of the river and landed on flat ground.

Patting her skirt and shaking off the grass clippings on the hem of her skirt, she tilted her head and looked at him with a shallow smile that Hinata Yuzuru was quite familiar with: "I was just asking...... What's the point of Young Master Yuzuru training so hard and working so hard? ”

"We are divided families, and no matter how hard we try, we can't change that."

"No matter how good Master Yuzuru is, the final outcome is just to become a more powerful Hishisa-sama."

"Such a future ......"

"Is there really any point in working hard?"

She asked with a smile, and when she got closer, Hinata Yuzuru realized that the girl was a head taller than herself.

Well, if nothing else, she's eight years old.

A girl who is a full three years older than herself is just a child, and it stands to reason that she is just a child, but Hinata Yuzuru did not despise the other party because of this - Uchiha Itachi can enter the dark department at the age of eight, and in this world, age is not a reason to look down on each other.

Not to mention.....

Hinata Yuzuru smiled slightly: "Isn't that the fate of the split family?" ”

Hinata shook his head and winked at him a little mischievously: "Young Master Yuzuru, that's not what I asked." ”

"You can't just lie down completely because you are a family." Hinata Yuzuru's use of the word lying flat won the girl's heart.

Hinata pondered for a while and said with a smile: "Lying flat, it's an interesting description." ”

"By the way, Young Master Yuzuru has really memorized the names of everyone in the Hyuga family." Hinata changed the topic and sighed: "I thought that Young Master Yuzuru wouldn't remember me." ”

Indeed, if I hadn't intentionally written down everyone's name, I wouldn't have known who you were.

Hinata Yuzuru pondered his impression of this girl, but he could only remember that this was the daughter of a separated family, to be precise, an orphan.

On the list of victims of World War III, there is her father's name, and her mother seems to have died unexpectedly when she was very young, and the specific reason is forgotten.

"Have you had any difficulties in your life lately? If you are short of money or need help, please feel free to let me know. Hinata's words surprised the girl.

Hinata looked at him quietly for a moment, the white eyes under those black-rimmed glasses were only tenderness and concern.

What a terrible ..... Man.

Hinata didn't even want to use a boy to describe the monster in front of him.

Yes, monsters.

She never imagined that a five-year-old could do this.

Maybe others will simply guess that this young man is probably due to nature, born with a good memory and fraternity and kindness, but Hinata has never thought of it that way.

Because..... She knows Hinata's secret, a huge secret that shouldn't have been discovered by her.

A secret that has been treasured and protected by her since two years ago, and is not known by anyone, in this world, may only belong to each other.

"Why do you want to cover the mark on your forehead? Young Master Yuzuru, I never covered it up before, and the reason why I did it was to spur myself to work hard, right? But why have you been covering it up with a headband lately? She asked suddenly.

The gentle smile in Hinata's eyes faded away.

Something is wrong.

He gently pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose: "Ah......hhhh

Hinata Yuzuru's gaze sank, and he thought thoughtfully for a moment, and then, the moment he raised his eyes, the whole person seemed to change his soul, and his temperament changed drastically, and he slowly moved forward.

Even at this moment, his height is a little lower than Hinata smoke.

But when he raised his head again, those cold and pure eyes, as if they were made of countless snowflake crystals, were left with only a dangerous arc of light, and a sense of horror and oppression that made Hinata feel a little trance for a while.

"What the hell are you trying to hear from me?"

His tone still sounded gentle, but there was no trace of the easy-going smile on his face.

Hinata looks at such a Hinata Yuzuru.

But suddenly, an extremely sincere ..... was revealed Smile.

"That's ...... Isn't that right? She whispered, her expression becoming a little excited, and Xia Fei's cheeks flew away.

Hinata Yuzuru stretched out his hand, two fingers lightly tapped on her heart, Hinata did not dodge, the smile on his face was a little shy because of his actions, it seemed that the movements of the two seemed to be a little ambiguous, but when Hinata Yuzuru's fingers flashed a terrifying dark blue chakra, it didn't seem so wonderful.

"I don't like it, but I'm sorry."

"Can you tell me what the hell you're trying to say?"

There is apology in Hinata's eyes, and there is also, killing intent!

What shocked him was the girl's subsequent actions.

She took a step forward, reverently held the hand containing the terrifying chakra with both hands, and offered her heart as if she were close to him, and in her eyes, there was an incomparably eager and sincere light: "Young Master Yuzuru, please take me with you!" Wherever it is, whatever you want me to do......"

Hinata Yuzuru was silent for a moment, and at this moment, he probably guessed the intention of the girl in front of him.

She wouldn't be ......

I've worked so hard, and I've even been active lately, so I've found a way and a plan to get rid of the caged bird, and I'm going to run away, right?

Compared to the girl's purpose, Hinata Yuzuru cares more about another thing.

There was not a hint of a smile on his face, and the girl's pious look and sincere gaze did not waver in the slightest, not even the chakra on his right hand, which was mired in some softness.

"Answer my question."

Hinata Yuzuru's words did not disappoint Hinata, she was just gentle, staring at Hinata Yuzuru with those beautiful eyes: "Young Master Yuzuru...... Do you know when we first met? ”

Hinata's mind quickly retraces the memories of the past few years, he crawled out of his mother's womb and 'reincarnated flow crossing', even the memories of his baby are not blurred, and he tried to retrace it from the beginning, but he still found nothing.

"Two years ago, when you were with your father?" This is the impression in Hinata's mind when he first met.

Hinata shook her head, and she whispered about her first impression of Hinata Yuzuru.

"The first time I met Master Yuzuru was the day he was planted with a caged bird."

Hinata's mind quickly relived the memories of that day.

Then, I discovered the strange things in my memory that are worth pondering.

"That night...... What do you see? ”

The cold glint in Hinata's eyes flashed.

Hinata chuckled and said, "That night, I couldn't sleep, so I secretly wandered around the house alone, but unexpectedly, I heard the sound from the martial arts arena......."

......

It was the darkest day in Hinata's life since he crossed over.

Under the gaze of Hinata Hinata Hinata , he was sealed as a caged bird by the elders of the Hyuga clan with his own hands.

Even when he was at the scene, he was calm and well-behaved, and he never complained to his father.

But that night, he couldn't sleep, and went to the martial arts arena alone.

Weep?

He's not that weak yet.

However, the negative emotions of anger and hatred caused by the caged bird's curse mark cannot be suppressed at all.

So, he vented his anger on the training ground out of control, silent but furious, reaching out again and again to hammer the innocent stake, until the blood of his fists flowed, he slammed his forehead on the stake, and at the same time, made up his mind.

He still remembers that he clearly felt the tingling pain in his forehead, gritted his teeth, and made an oath.

"I'm going to tear this cage with my own hands."

After that, he took care of his wound and went back to his room.

At that time, it had only been training for half a year, and Hinata, whose strength was barely enough to even shinobi, did not find out.

A young girl quietly hid behind the door of the martial arts arena, and witnessed the only moment of emotional loss of control since he crossed through the crack in the door.

Since then, Hinata has begun to subconsciously pay attention to his every move.

........

"Since then, I've been secretly watching Master Yuzuru in the crowd."

"What surprised and puzzled me was that Master Yuzuru, who was sharp and looked a little scary that night, was gone."

Hinata told the story of what happened afterward.

Hinata Yuzuru was a little distracted, and the chakra in his hand disappeared, but Hinata still held his hand and maintained a square posture.

"Young Master Yuzuru has become gentler, more mature, and more steady."

"I began to remember the names of everyone who broke up, and I began to deliberately have a good relationship with everyone."

"It's also getting harder."

"On the longest day, Young Master Yuzuru actually stayed alone for twelve hours in the martial arts arena."

"It's a pity that I can't get close to the martial arts arena of Lord Hizashi, I can only watch from a distance as Young Master Yuzuru goes in and out, day after day."

"I also began to think about what Master Yuzuru was thinking about, and what was the purpose of all this."

Hinata's eyes showed a little longing and excitement: "Until now, I'm not sure...... What is the matter that Master Yuzuru is thinking, you must have the same thoughts as me! ”

In her white eyes, there was only expectation: "So...... Master Yuzuru, please tell me. ”

"What is the point of you training so hard, working so hard to become the hope in the eyes of all the families, and becoming a genius recognized by everyone?"

She asks for meaning.

Hinata Yuzuru understands that she is asking about the purpose, and even actively wants to know if he has a plan now, and where the plan has been implemented, and religiously wants to join.

He stared at her indifferently for a moment, then withdrew his right hand.

"What qualifications do you have, and in what capacity, are you asking me questions?" He said.

Hinata just smiled.

She looked directly into the eyes of the young man in front of her, did not dodge or dodge, and gave the answer in her heart: "Please give me freedom!" ”

"Whether you want my twisted and sick soul or this incompetent shell, I will give everything to break free from this cage, even if it is only for a second."

Hinata's words were not answered positively in the end.

Hinata Yuzuru just put on a gentle smile again and said softly, "Then let's be quiet for now." ”

"Yes!" Hinata's voice was full of joy.

"Also, I think it's not a twisted and pathological thing to desire freedom as it is human nature to desire freedom."

Hinata Yuzuru kind of gave her a partially positive response,

She only smiled softly and shyly at this, noncommittal about it.

The two of them fell silent without any further communication, and Hinata Yuzuru, who had lost interest, stopped practicing, lifted the bucket and fishing rod containing the big fish, and returned to Hinata's house with her one after another.

That night, Hinata Yuzuru asked Hinata Hinata Hinata to investigate all the information of Hinata Smoke overnight.
