Chapter 101: Hunting, Return, and Future (1.35W)
Hinata Yuzuru stayed alone in her room and shut herself up for several days.
He barely greeted anyone except during meal time, and when he was alone in the room, others could only feel it, and sometimes a powerful chakra reaction would emerge from inside, but it would quickly disappear.
Just when even his mother was worried about whether he was in trouble, he finally walked out of the door, but this time, he didn't come home for a few days.
The forest around Konoha has suffered.
Countless powerful ninjutsu appeared and disappeared from time to time, making the forest jump, and the three generations had heard of it, and they couldn't help but laugh and let Hinata Yuzuru go to the Forest of Death to tinker with ninjutsu by himself, and don't wreak havoc in the village.
Hinata Yuzuru is willing, and in the "Forest of Death" near the village, he is practicing new ninjutsu like a fish in water, constantly integrating existing knowledge, and trying to integrate the new ninjutsu with the original ninjutsu.
A large number of extra low-level ninjutsu gave him the opportunity to gain free experience points, and many of them were soul-related forbidden arts, which made him obsessed with them day by day.
How do you combine your soul and body perfectly?
What is the nature of the soul?
What is the essence of chakra? What is the specific relationship between the soul and the spiritual power of man, and how can he strengthen his soul, and even master his soul?
All kinds of novel theories made him sometimes amazed, sometimes frowning and pondering, and more and more felt the amazing mastery of ninjutsu by the second generation.
In particular, most of the ninjutsu related to the soul have the special nature of the yin attribute.
This kind of yin and yang, which is independent of the five elements, is very strong, and vaguely involves the power essence of this world.
Yin is the power of yin that is based on the spiritual energy of the imagination of the master, and it is created in nothing; And Yang Dun, the power of Yang with the energy of the body in charge of life as the source, is endowed with life.
This power, if mastered, can even create life out of thin air.
In the study, the progress of Yang Dun was a little slow, but the speed of Yin Dun's progress was amazingly fast because of his white eyes.
The abundance of theoretical knowledge not only allowed Hinata Yuzuru to understand himself to a higher level, but also made him understand his own power more thoroughly.
What exactly is the pupil power of the white eye? Is it the embodiment of human spiritual power, or is it a manifestation of yin?
To be able to control the chakra to form into wings, relying on the control of pupil power, or is it something that can be created without these eyes, as long as you are proficient in yin? The specific connection between pupil power and spiritual power, and the connection between pupil power and yin retreat......
One question after another kept popping up in the practice, but it inspired Hinata Yuzuru to devote himself to more enthusiasm and study.
In the end, he even had an understanding based on pupil power and yin retreat, and in a short period of time, he came up with a clear research direction.
Susa Nenghu's pupil technique, can he create it with the help of Yin Escape and Pupil Power?
Even, can an existence like the tailed beast be created with the help of Yin and Yang?
The latter is still a bit slim, and the power involved in it is undoubtedly closely related to the immortal mode, to be precise, the natural energy, but the former, under the continuous research and feeling, is not so far away.
One month, two months, three months.
Hinata Yuzuru only goes home once a month to deal with the work affairs of the family, and after that, almost all of them are in the vast and uninhabited Forest of Death, like a sponge thrown into the water, frantically absorbing all kinds of knowledge brought by the Book of Seals and improving their own standards.
This kind of life lasted until the summer of Konoha '56, and he came out of the state of retreat with some reluctance and returned home.
If he could, he would have diveted headlong into the search for power in peace, but reason told him that there was a quicker way for him to take it.
So, after a short rest at home for a few days, he went to the Hokage Building alone to take on the mission.
"Are you sure?"
At first, the three generations just nodded unresponsively when they heard that Hinata Yuzuru was going to take on the mission, thinking that he was just thinking quietly and gaining a lot from the Book of Seals, and planned to go out and try his hand at actual combat through the mission.
But after Hinata Yuzuru casually took a task to clean up the wandering ninjas in the Land of Fire and was about to leave, Miyo raised his head: "How long are you going to go?" β
As soon as he looked at the task chosen by Hinata, he knew what his purpose was, it was all about finding a name to be able to go out and move freely.
These wandering ninjas who are wandering around committing crimes may have died in a corner of the horn a long time ago, and even if they don't die, I'm afraid they have also wandered to other areas, and if they want to be arrested, it takes time and effort to eat, but the pay is very low.
Hinata Yuzuru estimated: "A year at most." β
The third generation nodded, didn't say much, just said, "If you can, by the way, I will collect information about Jiraiya and Tsunade." β
Hinata Yuzuru nodded, and didn't care much, in the ninja world, the news of the two of them is not difficult to find, Tsunade is known to everyone in the name of the big fat sheep in the ninja world, and he often has to follow behind to pay off her debts.
After leaving Konoha, he changed his clothes, shrouded in black robes, and went straight to the black market in the Fire Country.
The so-called black market,In fact, it's often a place where bounty hunters and intelligence dealers gather.,As a dark department.,Hinata Yuzuru knows a lot about it.γ
It didn't take much effort to find the Black Market's stronghold in the Fire Country.
Naturally, he didn't go for information or to do anything, but to check a list.
Bounty List.
S-class rebel ninja of the tens of millions of levels, or the key person of each ninja village.
Wandering ninjas as small as a few million taels and hundreds of thousands of taels.
Its portrait, list, scope of activities, and approximate strength are all clearly marked on the black market bounty list.
Even, Hinata Yuzuru saw his own name.
γReward Target: Yuzuru Hinataγ
[Age: 10 (serious suspicion of age fraud)]
[Strength Strength: Elite Shangnin (Updated Recently)]
[A genius ninja of the Hyuga clan, proficient in Hinata-flow ninjutsu, with first-class instantaneous speed in the ninja world, and quite rich ninjutsu reserves, his strength should not be underestimated.
Current Identity: Konoha Dark (crossed out), Konoha Kaminobi.
Record: With more than one enemy, the frontal battle caused the fourth generation of Kazekage Raksha to be injured in the arm.
Specific intelligence value: 1,000,000 taels. γ
[Kill reward: fifteen million taels.] γ
[White eye value: 100 million taels. γ
Ooh!
Hinata Yuzuru was shocked by his own worth.
Not to mention that his head is now worth fifteen million taels, and the white eye has reached the price of an astonishing small target.
The information about him alone can sell for a million taels, which is amazing enough.
Hinata Yuzuru stared at the list for a while, and without saying a word, walked into the black market intelligence exchange.
"I want to buy specific information on Hinata."
The inside of the store of the Intelligence Exchange looked very mysterious, the owner and the customer were completely separated by a wooden wall, and as his voice sounded, the other side of the wall just lazily replied: "One million taels." β
Hinata Yuzuru took out a million taels of money from his wallet, which is an anonymous check, and as long as the bill is complete and the seal is not damaged, the money can be withdrawn from the bank.
A small window was opened on the wooden wall, and after receiving the money ticket, a short time later, a piece of stationery full of words was handed out.
[Its white eyes are suspected to be highly mutated, and have a power that is completely different from ordinary white eyes.] γ
[Hinata-Yuzuru has the ability to fly independently, and can use chakra to condense wings, and the speed data is predicted to be....]
[Hinata Yuzuru has the Konoha ninja, Kakashi Hagi's S-class ninjutsu Rachel who shocks the ninja world, and can be caught off guard by a single blow that pierces the gold dust defense of the four generations of Kazekage Rasha. γ
[His instantaneous speed is very likely to be above the instantaneous water stoppage, and the burst speed of the straight line is the fastest to continue to accelerate. γ
[The ninjutsu reserves it has mastered are quite abundant, and it has the ability to cast multi-attribute ninjutsu spells.] γ
[Its Hyuga Fluid Technique is an original ninjutsu technique, which can be used on the basis of the Hyuga Flow Secret Technique Bagua Empty Palm, and perform long-range soft fists to complete the point points and block the flow of chakra, which is extremely dangerous. γ
[His identity is the eldest son of the current patriarch of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hinata Cha, if he can be captured alive, he may be able to ask the Hyuga clan for multiple white eyes. γ
Hinata Yuzuru read it carefully, shook his head, and threw it back into the intelligence exchange nonchalantly and walked out of the room.
He even knew who was selling the information, or who was offering a bounty here.
Most likely, it is Luo Sha.
This move is very easy to understand, and it's not the first time that each ninja village has played like this, hanging each other's younger generation on the bounty list and selling their targeted information, on the one hand, you can make some money, and on the other hand, if you are lucky enough to use the bounty hunter, you will solve the young geniuses and mainstays of other ninja villages, why not?
Hinata Yuzuru didn't stay too long, leaving the black market in a low-key manner, but he didn't leave too far.
On the hat, layers of black gauze obscured his face, and his white eyes flashed in an unknown blue arc, searching for his target.
Where is the best place to find someone on the bounty list?
Of course, the people who come to the black market to hunt bounty targets!
The ninja world is like the cruel natural world, where the weak eat the strong.
There is often only a thin line between a predator and a preyman.
Hinata's purpose for leaving the village this time is very simple - to brush up on free experience points.
And at present, it seems that the most effective way to obtain free experience points is to fight.
The more powerful the prey, the more free XP it will give.
The wandering ninjas and rebels who are active in the vicinity of the black market have no idea that they have become the "prey" that are being chosen.
After Hinata Yuzuru locked on to the two ninja-level targets with his white eyes, he quietly escaped into the shadows, as a shadow, tracking, lurking, and assassinating, which was his job.
Hinata Yuzuru waited patiently, and not surprisingly, the two traitorous ninjas did not stay in the black market for a long time, and after receiving the bounty and information, they used the transformation technique to blend into the crowd, preparing to continue wandering.
But Hinata Yuzuru's dark blue pupils were just unwavering, staring at their backs under the veil of the hat.
The hunt began.
......
A year later.
Fifty-seven years of Konoha
Autumn.
Near the Black Market in the Land of Fire, the Money Exchange, an unnamed tavern.
It was the middle of the afternoon, and the dusk was setting.
It stands to reason that it should have been the busiest start of the day at the tavern.
But at this time, the people in the tavern were sparse, only three disguised Longyin Village rebels, sitting in the corner, drinking sake.
"What's going on? Isn't it said that there are the most people on the black market near the Fire Country, and you can't find anyone to negotiate a deal? It's a money changer, so no one comes here to collect money? β
A traitor muttered and grumbled.
The other rebel was vigilantly observing his surroundings at the moment, and he also felt that the situation was a little abnormal.
The three of them exchanged a few words in a low voice, calling the bartender in the tavern.
It's not so much a bartender as a black-market exchanger.
Wandering ninjas receive quests, exchange information, trade currencies from different countries, and exchange heads for bounties are all in this unassuming tavern.
The person who runs the tavern here is naturally not an ordinary person, and after receiving a large tip, the bartender smiled and explained.
"You're asking why there's no one around here, right?"
The bartender repeated their question, and waited until they nodded before grinning: "Who is the most famous bounty hunter in the past six months, do you know?" β
"You mean....... one of the rebels, one of them changed his face suddenly, and he was about to get up and leave, but he saw the bartender waving his hand and said, "Don't worry, he never kills people on the street, and you don't meet his hunting standards." β
A traitor looked blank, looked at the temporary partner beside him who seemed to be facing a great enemy, and asked curiously: "What's the matter?" β
"It's the hunter executioner!" Cold sweat could be faintly seen on the nervous rebel forehead, and he muttered in disbelief: "Didn't you say that he was in the water country recently?" How did you come here? β
"Hehe, your news is too late, he came to the land of fire while hunting a few days ago."
"You know, the first place where this guy first appeared was around the Fire Country, and this is his main hunting area."
After the bartender finished speaking, the nervous rebel ninja immediately explained to his companion: "You don't know who the hunter executioner is? β
"Uh, I've been in the Frost Nation before, is he, famous?" The dazed rebel said cautiously.
"It's only been a year since his debut, and the number of traitorous and wandering ninjas who have died at his hands has reached an astonishing more than 100!"
"No matter how many people there are, what organization they belong to, as long as they are bumped into by him, there is only a dead end! It is rumored that he is catching prey around the black market, and the prey he is targeting, no matter how to hide and escape, will be hunted by him after leaving the black market! β
"The middle ninja, the upper ninja, and even the S-class traitorous ninja also died at his hands! The strength is unimaginably terrifying! β
"As long as he makes a move, there will be no survivors, not even witnesses!"
"No intelligence, no information! Only know his approximate height and customary disguise, and no one even knows whether he is male or female! β
"Generally speaking, as long as you see this guy, you should never leave the black market until a substitute for the dead ...... appears"
After the knowledgeable traitor explained, the bartender smiled faintly on the side: "It's a man, and in fact, it's useless to hide in the black market, he occasionally practices assassination techniques near the black market." β
"Have you seen him?" Traitor's eyes widened.
The bartender raised his chin and looked out of the house, his tone a little helpless: "Ah, probably ......"
Outside the tavern, men dressed in black robes and hats walked slowly.
Several traitorous ninjas only felt stiff, and for a while, their breathing froze.
"Executioner, that's not a nice name."
A hoarse and deep voice sounded from under the hat, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but he could only vaguely feel the hazy eyes under the veil, which seemed to be as sharp as an invisible sword.
Several traitors swallowed their saliva in unison.
The bartender smiled flatteringly and innocently, as if he had nothing to do with me: "I didn't say that!" β
The three traitors were like pins and needles, even if the eyes of the man in black in front of them had already ignored them at the moment, they still felt an extreme sense of oppression, and the piercing murderous aura on his body was almost condensed, making people instinctively chill.
"Smack."
A seal scroll was thrown.
The bartender skillfully took it, quickly went to check it the day after tomorrow, and after a while, returned the scroll, still carrying a stack of money tickets in his hand.
"It's seventeen million taels in total."
The man in black took the money ticket and turned to leave.
It wasn't until he walked away that a few of the rebels gasped and relaxed.
"It's scary!"
"Yes, seventeen million taels, how many people did this guy kill?"
The bartender slowly took out the bounty list, redrew on it, and erased a few names.
In his heart, he couldn't help but sigh faintly - if he was allowed to kill like this again, the black markets around the Fire Country would be closed.
Many of the people he erased were his old customers!
And the identity of the man in black on the street, there is no doubt that it is naturally Hinata Yuzuru, who has been wandering outside for a whole year.
Over the course of a year, he briefly experienced the job of a bounty hunter, and did a good job.
The land of fire, the country of water, the country of grass, the country of wind...... Almost everywhere in the ninja world, he left footprints and, of course, corpses.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the group of traitorous ninjas and wandering ninjas had been killed by him, it was getting harder and harder to catch, and the benefits and efficiency of hunting were getting lower and lower, and he would even want to work outside for an extra year.
After hard work, the harvest is naturally abundant.
[Current Free XP: 221980]
With a full 220,000 free experience points, he has fully reached Hinata's goal.
Considering that the recent harvest has been getting less and less, and the time to complete a hunt is getting longer, Hinata Yuzuru decisively decides to leave the business and return to Konoha.
The wind and dust returned to Konoha and approached, canceling the disguise.
The first thing is, naturally, to go to the three generations to report the task.
A year passed, and the wrinkles on the faces of the three generations were a little more, but they looked much better - as the battle between Yunyin and Iwakuin deepened, it finally stabilized to some extent, and Konoha's situation gradually improved.
A large number of newborns have reached the age of entering school, especially the younger generation of major families, and have also stepped into the campus of the ninja school, if nothing else, in the next ten years, the fault line of Konoha will be greatly improved, and after this batch of baby boomers after the three World War II has grown completely, Konoha will regain the capital of the ninja world.
The Uchiha clan is certainly in trouble, but with the joint efforts of Uchiha Fugaku and Shisui, they have made a positive gesture of integrating into Konoha, although it has little effect, and sometimes it is even counterproductive, but overall, the attitude is not bad.
What will happen in the future, let the young people have a headache.
The three generations looked at Hinata Yuzuru with a smile and said, "When you come back this time, do you still plan to go out?" β
Hinata Yuzuru shook his head with a smile: "No, if nothing else, in the last few years, I plan to stay in the village." β
"It's good... It's time to accompany your family, Ning Ci is now in the second grade, right? "Three generations chatting about homely things.
Hinata Yuzuru hooked the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "How is that kid doing at school lately?" β
"It's not bad, it's your brother after all, specifically, you have to ask his teacher." After the three generations finished speaking, they paused, and then said, "Are there any promising seedlings?" Among the students of this ninja school, there are many talented children. β
The three generations smiled, and they didn't hide it, looking full of sincerity: "If you are optimistic, you have to greet me in advance - like Maitkai, it seems that he has fallen in love with a child named Xiao Li recently." β
Hinata Yuzuru answered, but didn't immediately agree, just said, "Let's wait until I get in touch with those children." β
"Well, don't worry, even if it's Ning Ci, there are still five years to graduate."
The third generation raised his pipe with a smile, and then suddenly said with a straight face: "There is one thing, I think, I have to talk to you." β
"What?" Hinata Yuzuru looked puzzled, and Miyo sighed and took out an application form.
Hinata Yuzuru picked it up and looked at it, stared at the photo on the application form, looked at it with complicated eyes for a while, and nodded.
"Izumi is a great ninja, and if that's the path she wants to take, I think I can give her a chance."
What Hinata Yuzuru held in his hand was an application form for the dark part.
The person who made this application was the Uchiha Izumi who passed the Nakashinobi exam at the beginning of this year and became a Nakashinobi and had changed his name.
"Her name?" Hinata Yuzuru asked, looking up.
Miyo picked up his pipe: "Last year, in the process of carrying out the mission, the team led by Kato Kato Shinobu was attacked by unidentified ninjas, and the Uchiha Izumi awakened the double hook jade writing wheel eye, and was asked by the Uchiha clan to return to the family. β
"Now, with his mother and father, he has moved into the Uchiha clan and officially lives as the Uchiha clan."
Hinata Yuzuru narrowed her eyes and asked softly, "What is the specific situation?" β
"Izumi didn't say - only that she was attacked by a powerful mysterious ninja, Kato Kato Shinobu died on the spot almost instantly, and because she was far away, she turned on the writing wheel eye and fell into a coma due to mental shock, and when she woke up, the other party was nowhere to be found."
The smile of the third generation was a little playful, and he looked at Hinata Yuzuru: "Now, do you still think that she is suitable to join the dark department?" β
Hinata Yuzuru was silent for a moment and nodded slowly: "I believe her." β
"Okay."
The third generation took back the application form with a smile and stamped it, but said meaningfully: "If it's possible, you might as well talk to her." β
Hinata Yuzuru nodded again, his good mood was a little less, he smiled calmly, and stroked his glasses: "I will." β
"By the way, Naruto kept sneaking in with me to ask where you had been - he was disappointed that you weren't there on the day of admission." The three generations helplessly passed the microphone, spit out a puff of smoke, and said quietly: "Since you have decided to be good to him, let's guide him well, he is the same as you, shouldering the future of Konoha." β
"I know, thank you for the three generations." Hinata Yuzuru thanked him earnestly, no matter what, if the three generations can say these words to him, they are already selling favors, and it can be said that they are trying to maintain each other's feelings.
Especially when Uchiha Izumi was attacked by a "mysterious person", he was vague and unwilling to say specific information, and he was still allowed to join the dark department, which was obviously all for the sake of Hinata's face.
"Ah, yes, and Kakashi." The more the three generations think about it, the more helpless they become, and when they think about it carefully, many of the troubles of the younger generation that have troubled him for a long time seem to be gradually inseparable from Hinata Yuzuru.
"He has also been out of the dark department for a while, but no matter what kind of students he recommends, he has been beaten back, and the pass rate is currently 0 percent."
"You have the best relationship with him, it's better to have a good chat with him, if you already have a student you like, it's not that you can't arrange it for him, it's not that you can't arrange it for him, it's not a good thing for those children to always send the children back to re-study like this."
Hinata Yuzuru just smiled when he heard this: "Yes, yes, I'll talk to him well, but well, it may not be effective." β
The reason why Kakashi eliminated the graduating children in a row and refused to lead the team is naturally the same reason as in the original book - people who can't value their peers are not worthy of being his disciples.
At this point, Hinata Yuzuru thinks that there is nothing wrong with him, and his methods may be a little more ruthless than other ninjas, but it is not a kind of protection for those children.
No one knows better than him what it means for a child to leave school and step into the ninja world.
"Go ahead, I guess, there are a lot of things waiting for you in your family, say hello to the Hizaku patriarch for me."
The three generations waved their hands and let him go home to rest.
Hinata Yuzuru left the Hokage Building after saying goodbye, deciding to deal with the trivial matters of Izumi and the others first, and then go to break through his chakra refining technique to see how the path to the immortals was.
What kind of effect will immortalization have on you? Will it affect your strength in the short term? Will there be any changes in your body? These are all in his concerns, and he does not dare to act rashly.
He didn't want to delay, and immediately set off for the Uchiha clan's clan.
By the time the dark department is approved, Izumi Uchiha will probably be busy.
Naruto, this guy, just go and treat him to a good barbecue in a moment - eating until he collapses on the ground will probably make him forgive himself for the little problem of not being able to make it back when he started school.
Even if he stayed outside for a long time, Hinata Yuzuru looked very neat at this time, and his long hair was tied into a half-pill head by him at will, because the length looked a little messy, but it didn't look sloppy at all, wearing a tactical vest and a black combat uniform, he looked like a qualified ninja.
Walking to the door of the Uchiha clan, the Uchiha people at the door were obviously very familiar with him, and took the initiative to say hello, revealing a rare smile on the faces of other people in Konoha, and took the initiative to ask him who he was looking for.
"Izumi Uchiha, is she home now?"
Hearing that Hinata Yuzuru was looking for her, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old Uchiha young ninja who was originally just passing by stopped and subconsciously asked, "What are you looking for her?" Ah, sorry, just curious. β
Hinata Yuzuru turned her head and looked at him with a smile, and she saw a little ..... on the face of this Uchiha ninja Wary.
The charm of the spring is really great.
"We're friends, we've known each other since we were very young." After Hinata Yuzuru finished speaking, the Uchiha ninja's face stiffened a little.
He laughed a little awkwardly: "You are... Childhood sweetheart, then, I'll go and talk to you, she should be at home. β
When the young ninja entered the house, the Uchiha guard at the door laughed unabashedly.
Hinata didn't plan to go in, so he chatted with the guard at the door.
"Is Izumi famous in the clan?"
"It's famous, it's okay, after all, it is really rare to be able to open the writing wheel at her age, and she still grew up outside the clan. Her mother also married out because of her ordinary ninja talent, but she didn't expect Izumi's talent to be so amazing.
And you know, even in the Uchiha clan, there are not many beautiful girls like her, how can these stinky boys be able to calm down. β
Although the guard looked to be only in his early thirties, he spoke in an old-fashioned manner, and apparently, had experienced a lot.
He and Hinata Yuzuru chatted intimately, "But, in my opinion, these young men in the clan are choking enoughβwas she so cold when she was a child?" β
"Cold?" Hinata Yuzuru was stunned for a moment, unable to imagine what Izumi Uchiha looked like coldly, in his impression, Izumi had always been that weak, kind, gentle, and cute little girl.
"Huh?" The guard was also stunned, and then, suddenly, he restrained his smile, as if he thought of something, but whispered with emotion: "Then you can talk to her more, she is in the clan, and she has no friends." β
Before Hinata Yuzuru could ask, footsteps sounded inside the gate.
The girl poked her head out of the door, and when she saw Hinata Yuzuru, her pretty face showed a hint of surprise, and she looked at him a little blankly, but her face didn't show a gentle smile like before, or rather, she seemed to be a little unaccustomed to smiling, and at the moment she just hooked the corners of her mouth and nodded, looking really "cold" as others said.
Looking at her long hair and shawl, she could still see a little childish face when they met last time, but at this moment she has completely turned into a girl's appearance, with long hair draped behind her head at will, under the slender willow eyebrows, her bright eyes are just quietly staring at Hinata Yuzuru, and the emotions in it are a little complicated and difficult to read.
Under the bridge of his small nose, which is getting taller and taller, his lips open and close slightly: "Yuzuru, you're back." β
Izumi Uchiha walked out of the house, nodded to the guard and said hello, walked briskly in front of him, looked up and down, smiled lightly, but quickly regained his composure.
"Is there something going on?" She asked softly.
Hinata Yuzuru smiled and proposed, "If you're not busy, let's go for a walk together?" β
"I've got to eat later, and I've got training in the evening... Just walk around the house, right? Izumi Uchiha's voice fell.
Even though the two didn't say anything, there was a subtle, somewhat cold atmosphere, which formed a subtle barrier between the two.
The smile on Hinata's face gradually faded, and the eyes under the lenses didn't have much emotion, just seemed to look at her with some curiosity.
It wasn't until Izumi Uchiha sighed, took the initiative to step forward, and whispered, "What's wrong?" β
"It's just a little unaccustomed to you being like this." Hinata's face reappeared with a gentle smile that Izumi Uchiha was all too familiar with.
Izumi Uchiha lowered his head and said casually as he walked forward, "People always change. β
The two fell silent again.
Unconsciously, he walked to a river embankment in the village, thanks to the fact that the Uchiha clan's clan land is now on the edge of Konoha, and you can find a quiet enough place to walk around.
The sloping embankment was overgrown with grass, but most of it was withering at the moment.
The two stopped at the stone steps leading to the river bank, Hinata Yuzuru sat down without caring about the image, Izumi hesitated for a moment, kept a little distance, and sat down next to him.
The autumn wind swept by, blowing the long hair of Izumi Uchiha, and she picked up a strand and put it back casually, and her beautiful tearful side face shone brightly under the gradually setting sun.
"Your application for the shadows, if nothing else, will be approved soon."
Hinata Yuzuru's words fell, and Uchiha Izumi's eyes were unconsciously attracted to him, and at this moment, just like Fang Cai's own, he just quietly stared at the riverside of the autumn day, watching the river gurgle away, and sometimes made a few sounds hitting the riverbank.
On the well-defined side face, looking sideways, I just skimmed the glasses that I had worn for a long time, and saw his crystal clear white eyes like snowflakes.
Hinata Yuzuru seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly took out a booklet from inside the tactical vest and sketched it with a sketch pen seemingly randomly, Izumi glanced at it secretly, as if he was drawing.
Will he still be able to draw?
"In the subsequent grouping, I will suggest to the three generations that you join the squad of the seniors who stop the water."
Izumi Uchiha wanted to speak, but Hinata Yuzuru sketched it casually on the booklet, and said in a tone that could not be refused: "There are some things you don't know, you can ask Shisui senior, he won't hide anything from you." β
She had nothing more to say.
"If you don't feel comfortable with the life of the shadows, just talk to the seniors of the water stop."
The voice fell, and after a long time, Uchiha Izumi lowered his voice, and he agreed.
There was silence again, only the tip of Hinata's pen rustling on the paper.
Hinata Yuzuru turned her head, only to see her slightly flustered gaze and side face, closed the album in her hand, and handed it to her.
"A gift for you...... Congratulations, you have become a shinobi, this is what I painted myself, and I recorded a lot of interesting pictures and landscapes. β
Izumi Uchiha hesitated for a moment, reached out and took the album, opened it silently and looked at it, and the first page was painted with an ordinary wildflower.
On both sides of the muddy and narrow road, where the weeds are overgrown, this beautiful flower blooms silently, quietly releasing its beauty in the painting.
"Thank you." Izumi Uchiha whispered.
Hinata Yuzuru slowly got up, patted the dust on his buttocks, and laughed softly: "The blank space in the back is up to you to paint it yourself." β
"Come on, if you have any questions, feel free to come to me - as before." As he spoke, he had the intention of leaving.
Izumi Uchiha got up, pursed his lips, and finally, he still lowered his head, and his voice was slight: "You don't ask... Exactly, what happened? β
"Want to know, but if you don't want to say, don't ask."
Hinata Yuzuru smiled softly and stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch her head, but stopped again: "I'm sorry, this time, I didn't protect you." β
"It's none of your business!" Izumi subconsciously raised his voice, but he didn't know what he thought of, and swallowed the words behind him into his stomach.
She stood up, looked up at him slightly, and looked at him calmly.
"I know what I'm doing."
Izumi Uchiha's voice was firm.
Hinata Yuzuru snorted, her eyes staggered, and there was only her own persistence in her eyes.
So, whatever she was hiding became irrelevant.
"If you do something wrong, I'll correct you in time."
After Hinata finished speaking, he stared at her, reached out and flicked her forehead.
She still didn't dodge.
Quietly watched him flick his head slightly.
"Hmm!"
The two parted in the sunset.
On the way home, Izumi covered his head, a little annoyed, but a little unbearable, and opened the album.
One person looked intently at each page of the album, guessing what mood he was feeling when he painted it.
Soon, I turned to the last page.
The picture he had just drawn.
In the painting, by the river embankment, the side face of the girl sitting on the stone steps is clearly shadowed in the sun, and the eyes on the tear mole are bright as if they should be in response to the light.
This is only Hinata's gentle smile that only Hinata Yuzuru is searching for in his memory and reproducing under the brush.
Uchiha Izumi looked at it for a long time, until there was a smile on his face like the girl in the painting, and then he returned to the clan land with brisk steps, and the guard at the door saw this, but showed a knowing smile, which made her subconsciously change back to a cold appearance, which made the guard a little unbearable for a while.
And after the separation, Hinata's eyes became more and more cold.
Izumi has undoubtedly become a target, or rather a pawn, for some.
The target of those who use her may not be him - after all, he has always kept a distance from Izumi, neither distant nor too close, and to outsiders, Izumi's existence is just an "insignificant" childhood playmate of his.
Even if someone really wants to do it from their side, they shouldn't start from Izumi.
Isn't Itachi better? The identity is more sensitive, the potential is more prominent, and the relationship with him is relatively closer.
But no matter who chooses to make her a pawn, whether it's against Konoha, or Uchiha, or him.
Hinata Yuzuru is very unhappy.
The last person who made him so unhappy went back to the present, and even the grave was shared with the other Hyuga clan elders.
Stand at the intersection, take a deep breath, and calm down.
Hinata Yuzuru regained his composure and took a step, heading in the direction of the ninja school, hurrying in an instant, now that it was time for school to end, he had to speed up.
He couldn't have protected everyone - whether it was Kakashi, Maitkai, Izumi, Shisui... Or himself.
As long as you embark on the path of ninja, you are destined to have countless crises lurking on the road ahead.
Even now, he has problems that he can't solve, enemies he can't deal with.
There's only one way to change everything.
Get stronger.
Become stronger than everyone else.
Walk to the main entrance of the ninja school and stop, the time is just right, it is the time for the children to get out of school.
The seedlings of Konoha came out of the school in groups of three or five, and some of the parents were waiting for their children at the door, just like Hinata Yuzuru.
looks like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old Hinata Yuzuru, with a handsome face, and the tactical vest on his body is also quite eye-catching, this fresh face naturally attracted the attention of many people.
"Brother!?"
Ning Ci's voice sounded with some surprise from the pile of children after school.
Beside him, a thick-eyed boy with a blue nose and swollen face and wearing a green tights was shouting something beside him, but he was silenced by Ning Ci's voice, and subconsciously looked at Hinata Yuzuru.
Ning Ci's face showed a cheerful smile that was rare for his classmates, and he quickened his pace, but suddenly he let out a low sigh of luck and reached out and punched Hinata Yuzuru's stomach.
"Smack."
A finger flicked his head.
Ning Ji wrapped the fist of the soft fist Chakra, and at the same time that he easily dodged the past, his head was also thrown back by Hinata Yuzuru, and the tears of pain were about to come out, and his eyes widened in annoyance.
"You don't think these advances are enough, do you?" Hinata withdrew her fingers with a smile and rubbed the door of his head, the green chakra light waves quickly made his pain subside.
This is much harder than Danquan's brain, if you don't treat him, maybe you will be able to afford a bag in a while.
Ning Ci said in a depressed voice: "How can there be someone like you, go out for a year without saying a word, and come back like this..."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Hinata Yuzuru chuckled and apologized, "This time, I'll stay at home with you for a while." β
"Who needs you to accompany him..."He turned his head away and didn't touch him, looking arrogant, standing beside Hinata Yuzuru.
The thick-eyed boy beside him is naturally Xiao Li.
"You're Ning Ci's classmate, right? What is the name? It looks like a friend of mine. β
Hinata Yuzuru smiled and stretched out his hand to greet him.
Xiao Li subconsciously reached out and wiped his hands on his trouser leg first, and then stretched out, full of vitality, as if reporting to the instructor during military training, and said loudly: "I'm Rock Lee!" It's Ningci's classmate! Ningci is my most important opponent! β
He held Hinata's hand tightly, looking scorching, he didn't know, and thought he wanted to propose to Hinata Yuzuru to marry Ning Ji back.
The people around cast their eyes, and from time to time, a few uncontrollable laughter rang out.
Ning Ci seemed to be used to Xiao Li like this, he sighed, and pulled the hem of Hinata's clothes: "He's a fool." β
"Yes, very energetic." Hinata Yuzuru patted Xiao Li's shoulder affirmatively, looked at his eyes that widened in disbelief, and said softly: "If you can exercise your body so strong at this age, you will definitely be able to become an excellent ninja in the future." β
"Thank you, thank you!" Rock Lee was about to cry when he looked at it.
"Do you know Maitkai?" Hinata asked.
Locke Lee nodded violently: "He's my teacher!" Do you know him too!? β
When Xiao Li was in the first grade, because of the problem of ability, he was ridiculed for being the tail of a crane, and even was thrown a stone, Maitkai asked him, what is your goal, Xiao Li's reply made him vaguely see himself back then, so he began to train him little by little, teaching him the training method of physical arts.
And Ning Ci, as a little kid who is only seven years old at the moment, when Xiao Li said in public: Even if you can't use ninjutsu and illusion, you can become a great ninja, she smiled contemptuously, and was regarded as the target of Xiao Li's challenge.
God is pitiful, Ning Ci really didn't laugh at him at that time, but in Ning Ci's heart, there is only one great ninja - that is a ninja like his brother.
Xiao Li?
He really can't do it.
No one knows better than Ning Ci how powerful his own brother is.
But Xiao Li only felt that he was looking down on himself, and while working harder, he regarded Ning Ci as an insurmountable mountain in front of him, but it was also an extremely clear goal.
Be sure to work hard until you beat him!
Although Ning Ci feels a little innocent, he is also a full and arrogant character, where will he explain anything, if you want to fight, you will beat, and if you beat you, it will be over.
As a result, the bad relationship between the two has continued from the first grade to the present, and even, looking at the trend, it means that it will continue forever.
Hinata Yuzuru looked at Ning Ci pouting on the side, pressed one hand on his head, unceremoniously pressed his hair into chaos, and talked to Xiao Li: "Of course, he is my friend, a very good physical ninja."
It's better to say, in my eyes, Konoha and even among the ninjas in the entire ninja world, Akai is the one with the strongest physical skills, even me, on the road to pure physical arts, is far inferior to him.
Even if you put aside the scope of physical arts, only from the identity of a ninja, he is definitely a very powerful ninja in the ninja world. β
"Really!?" Xiao Li had never heard anyone comment on Maitkai like this, let alone anyone who said that even if he only specialized in physical arts, he could become such an excellent existence.
The feeling of being recognized and the excitement made their eyes red, and they almost cried on the spot, and roared loudly with enthusiasm: "I must also become a strong person like the teacher!" Tell everyone! A physical ninja can also..."
"Yuzuru Brother !!"
But a louder voice overshadowed his rhetoric, and in the distance, Naruto, with a yellow hedgehog head, rushed straight towards Hinata Yuzuru like a small missile, as if he was going to give him a head cone.
Hinata Yuzuru just slowly leaned away, and Naruto Uzumaki plunged into the air, staggering a few steps, and almost hitting the wall before stopping.
"Damn! Look at my physical skills! Naruto Uzumaki screamed and slammed into him, but this time Hinata picked him up, pressing a hand on his head to be exact.
Naruto Uzumaki waved his arms in annoyance, his arms spinning like a windmill, but he couldn't touch anyone at all because of his short hands: "Why don't you say goodbye for so long!" He said he was going to spend my birthday with me and send me to school! Swindler! Big liar! β
"I'm just saying that if you have time, you must arrive, but it's not like you don't have time." Hinata Yuzuru explained unhurriedly.
Ning Ci couldn't get used to seeing him coquettish to his brother, so he snorted coldly: "Ninjas are very busy, Naruto, don't be naΓ―ve anymore." β
"You're jealous for your brother, it's also naΓ―ve, but, it's very ~ but~ love~ oh ~" Hinata Yuzuru leaned into his ear and said quietly.
Ning Ci's face turned red.
He just wanted to explain a few words, but he saw Hinata Yuzuru affectionately hook his neck and hug him aside, his brother's long-lost closeness made him happy and embarrassed, this is at the school gate, many people are watching!
Naruto also stopped, puffing out his face: "I also know that ninjas are very busy, just..."
He was a little sad.
Hinata Yuzuru simply hooked the kid's neck and half-hugged it: "Little ghosts, don't be too pestering, if you are lonely, you two can have more fun." β
"Who's going to take care of this stinky fart like Sasuke." Naruto turned his face away.
"Huh? Crane tail, don't humiliate me with Sasuke. Ning Ci's forehead was bulging.
"Humph! Bored! β
Sasuke Uchiha's cold snort sounded from behind and joined the warband.
Because of Hinata's Yuzuru, Ninji, Sasuke, and Naruto can be said to have played together at the age of three or four, and although they have to fight non-stop when they see each other, the relationship is actually good.
Erzhuzi is heroic at the moment, with cool hands in his pockets, and Ino and Sakura next to him are surrounding him left and right, and he really looks like a winner in life - if you ignore the red appearance of anger on his face at the moment.
Hinata Yuzuru took a step back, happily crossed her arms and watched a group of children arguing around, glancing at her and smiling.
"Yuzuru..... Good afternoon, young master. β
Hinata, who was originally planning to sneak away, made eye contact with him, and had to stop, bow his head, and whisper hello.
"Okay, since I happened to meet them all."
Hinata Yuzuru clasped her hands together and gently clapped her hands to attract attention.
Under the gaze of a group of children, he smiled: "Today, I invite guests to eat barbecue, you all come together, don't worry about the parents, leave it to me to communicate." β
Children who dream of becoming ninjas, how can they not love to eat barbecue.
Even if some people feel a little embarrassed, after all, it is the first time to meet, but it only takes a few gentle chats from Hinata Yuzuru to unload their hearts and happily respond.
He put his hands on the seal, and amid the exclamations of a group of children, he released several shadow clones to inform their parents to obtain permission, including to say a word to his own family, and then led the team straight to the barbecue restaurant.
Hinata had to be aggrieved and "threatened" by him for a few words, and went with the others.
Konoha's twelve little powerhouses were made up by him in this way.
Sitting in the barbecue restaurant, taking care of a group of imps eating barbecue, Hinata Yuzuru, smiling at the future of this group of Konoha people.
He only helped with the barbecue, ordered food, and ate the occasional bite β if he was to be fed first, the children would not have to eat for a while.
When they were all full, he sent them all home again with a shadow clone.
On the way home, Ninji and Hinata followed him left and right, Hinata was one step behind, and Hinata Yuzuru was also one step slower, until she understood that she had to stand beside him like Ninji.
"Brother, tomorrow, can we train together?"
Although he was impatient when he went, after eating, Ning Ci seemed very happy.
Everyone loves Yuzuru Hinata.
This makes him proud more than others directly praising him.
Hinata Yuzuru looked at his elated appearance and smiled, but still said in an apologetic tone, "Not for the time being." β
"Oh..."Ning Ci was silent.
The interest was visibly depressed.
Hinata Yuzuru reached out and gently stroked his long hair: "Recently, I wanted to study a technique.... Wait until you're successful, and then I'll practice with you. β
"Hmm." Ning Ci said sullenly.
"Take care of Hinata, as her older brother, you have to protect her like I did."
"I know! It's her... She doesn't like to talk to me. β
Hinata glanced at Hinata, and she turned her head away, not looking at him with mixed feelings.
"Then take the initiative to talk to her! Anyway, when I get home, I'm going to go into retreat, and when I come out, you'll be trained with her, and I'm much stricter than your teacher. β
"I'm not afraid...... It's just, how long will it take? β
"Who knows?"
Hinata Yuzuru glanced at the words floating in the system, and his eyes were deep.
How long will it take... Soon, you'll know.
