Fire Nation Frontier.
The breeze carried dew, and a small snake emerged from the crack. After observing the surroundings with vertical eyes, it returned to the ground.
Not long after, a tired figure appeared on the ground and walked out towards the edge of the forest.
Facing the gradually drying wind, Orochimaru looked at the yellow sand in the distance with a pale face. It was the natural dividing line between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire. Only by crossing this border could he briefly escape from the village.
Hunt.
There was only one person chasing him, and that was Jiraiya. After getting his information, Jiraiya kept pestering him, trying to persuade him to return to the village, but the village could no longer accommodate him to fulfill his ideals, and he could never go back.
Already.
These days, through the medical ninjutsu he has studied, he has recovered to some extent from his injuries, and the most troublesome depression in his chest has gradually healed over time.
At first, he thought that the palm print was just the forbidden chakra unique to Rou Fist, and he was amazed by the superb Rou Fist of the Hyuga branch he was interested in. Later, he gradually realized that something was wrong, and the opponent's palm seemed to remain in his body.
The special chakra keeps eroding his body.
Just when he was still confused about what that special chakra was, he encountered Jiraiya...
He understood that the Hyuga branch mastered senjutsu. It was a soft fist full of senjutsu. No wonder it had such great power.
Senjutsu is a power that he wants to learn but cannot, and now it appears in the Hyuga branch.
This kind of talent makes him a little envious. With the combination of Byakugan and Xianjutsu, he can guess that the branch should be the strongest of the contemporary Hyuga clan. Plus the Uchiha with three magatama, the future of that team
Maybe not much inferior to them.
If given the chance, he really wanted to study the senjutsu of the Hyuga branch.
But for now, he had better escape Jiraiya's pursuit first. The idiot has been chasing him closely, and he is simply haunting him.
Stepping onto the yellow sand, Orochimaru swept towards the depths of the desert. He once commanded the battle against Sunagakure here and left behind several abandoned testing grounds. Now it was time to put them to use.
What Orochimaru didn't know was that those abandoned testing grounds had new owners.
That ninja was also an S-level rebellious ninja, but he came from Sunagakure Village and was a ninja who was proficient in puppetry.
…
Inside Hinata's old house.
After the conversation with the Zong family, Hinata Zang walked out of the old house under the leadership of his uncle.
On the way, Hinata Xiong looked deeply at Hinata Zang. His suggestion to increase the number of clan members has been conveyed to other clan members, but even if it succeeds, it will only be placed on the next generation.
The Caged Bird Technique has been engraved, and even he can't break it.
It is precisely because of such a harsh technique that even the clan cannot remove it that it can protect the Byakugan Blood Successor from leaking.
Hinata Zang wanted to ask what the discussion was about, but Hinata Xiong randomly found an excuse to put it off. The only information revealed was that the Hinata family may change in recent days.
Hinata Zang didn't know what specific changes would be made, but it could be seen from the uncle's solemn expression that it was not a small matter, and might affect the entire Hinata. Such a big thing could only be about the caged bird.
But he still didn't have much hope for the clan. He had the impression that Hinata would really make reforms decades later, when the ninja world was at peace.
Therefore, he never thought that the clan would take the initiative to release the caged bird. Freedom would only come if he took the initiative to fight for it. Moreover, although he could not release the caged bird's spell, the restraint of the caged bird was not as great as he imagined.
If you want to truly crack the caged bird, you may need several clan members and branches to conduct experiments.
After separating from her uncle, Hinata had no intention of going home. There were only empty houses around her, which might be more appropriately called a residence.
While walking on the streets of the village, he met many familiar faces, but none of them approached him to strike up a conversation. Perhaps it was because he was wearing an ANBU mask. The ANBU wearing the mask was almost assumed to be performing a mission.
Unknowingly, Hyugazo wandered to the back mountain, and the crowds nearby gradually became sparse.
Most ninja still like fun, not hard training. For the majority of chunin and genin, their upper limit has long been fixed and cannot be changed through hard work.
After entering the back mountain, Hyugazo saw an unexpectedly familiar figure, Uchi Bo.
After being separated from him, Uchibo was still practicing hard. Is it because of his encounter with Orochimaru?
Orochimaru's power was indeed beyond their imagination. Even if he did not use all his strength, he still suppressed the three Anbu.
"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
After sensing the presence of a figure behind him, Uchihara used his ninjutsu without hesitation.
Looking at the huge fireball coming towards him, Hinata ducked sideways, and with a roar, the fireball hit the big tree behind him, instantly igniting a raging fire.
"Water escape, water dragon bullet technique."
After discovering Hinata Zang, Yin put out the blazing fire and crossed his arms: "Why did you find him here?"
Hyugazo looked at the unextinguished sparks on the ground, secretly thinking that his chakra still had some effect. He simply did not dare to use his soft fists to catch the high temperature of the fire ball just now.
"I'm coming over now that I'm done with things within the clan," Hinata paused and said helplessly: "Besides, you're very alert, but you should at least recognize me. When you see a fireball or something..."
Uchibo walked over and smiled: "Your alertness has become lowered. What if the enemy used transformation to disguise me just now?"
"...You can indeed apply what you learn."
Hinata rubbed his head. Although his white eyes would not lie to him, he did have to be alert. After all, they at the scene were being targeted by Orochimaru.
After being interrupted by Hyugazo, Uchihara had no intention of continuing to practice, and took a walk on the back mountain as usual.
Not long after, the two arrived at the highest point of the village, above the Shadow Rock, which was carved with the Hokage of the past generations.
The wind is very strong above Shadow Rock, but standing on it, you can get a glimpse of the entire Konoha Village. The village at dusk is full of tranquility and peace.
"It's so beautiful!" Uchibo couldn't help but sigh, but Hyugazo said calmly: "The village is indeed beautiful, but in the future it will be reduced to ruins due to turmoil."
"This is impossible! You are talking nonsense again!"
Uchibo shook his head and glanced at Hinata Zang. Since the establishment of the village, the village has experienced three ninja wars, but never once did the enemy attack the village.
"Yeah, I'm talking nonsense again, but it's time to start preparing." Hinata thought secretly in her heart.
