Chapter 101: Hunting, Return, and the Future (1.35W)
Hinata Yuzuru stayed alone in her room and was autistic for several days.
Except for meal time, he hardly greeted anyone. When he was alone in the room, others could only feel that a powerful chakra reaction would appear from inside, but it would quickly disappear.
Just when his mother was worried that he was in trouble, he finally walked out of the room, but after leaving, he did not come home for several days.
The forests around Konoha suffered.
Countless powerful ninjutsu appeared and disappeared, causing chaos in the forest. Three generations had heard about it, and they were dumbfounded and asked Yuzuru Hinata to go to the Forest of Death to tinker with ninjutsu on his own, instead of causing destruction in the village.
Hyuga Yuzuru was so happy that he practiced new ninjutsu like a fish in water in the "Forest of Death" near the outside of the village. He constantly integrated existing knowledge and tried every means to combine the new ninjutsu with the original ones.
Mastery of Ninjutsu.
The extra large number of low-level ninjutsu gave him the opportunity to gain free experience points, and many of them were forbidden techniques related to the soul, which made him increasingly obsessed.
How to perfectly combine your soul and body?
What is the nature of the soul?
What is the essence of chakra? What is the specific relationship between the soul and human spiritual power, and how to strengthen one's own soul, or even control one's own soul?
Various novel theories made him sometimes exclaim in amazement, sometimes frowning and thinking hard, and he became more and more aware of the amazing attainments of the second generation in ninjutsu.
Especially for Ninjutsu related to the soul, most of them have the nature of Yin-type magic.
The Yin-Yang escape that is independent of the Seven Elements is very weak and vaguely related to the nature of power in that world.
Mei Xiang is the yin force that originates from the spiritual energy of the master's imagination, creating the form in existence; while Yang Dun is the yang force that originates from the physical energy of the master's life, giving life to the form.
That kind of power, if it could be mastered, wouldn't even be able to create life out of thin air.
During the research, the Yang Dun's development was not too slow, but the speed of the physical skills' development was astonishingly slow because of my white eyes.
The enrichment of theoretical knowledge not only allowed Rikakashi to understand himself to a higher level, but also allowed me to understand my own power more thoroughly.
What exactly is Byakugan's pupil power? Is it a manifestation of a person's spiritual power, or is it a form of physical skill?
Being able to control chakra to shape into wings, does it rely on the control of pupil power, or is it something that even a unfamiliar master of Mei Xiang cannot create with or without those eyes? The specific connection between pupil power and mental power, pupil power
The connection with taijutsu...
One question after another kept popping up during the practice, but it inspired Hikakashi to become even more indifferent and devoted himself to studying.
At the end, I even lost my understanding based on eye power and physical skills, and in a short period of time, I came up with a clear research direction.
Can I create a pupil technique like Susanoo's with the help of taijutsu and pupil power?
What's more, can he create an existence like a tailed beast with the help of physical skills and Yang Escape?
The former is not a bit vague, and the power involved is undoubtedly closely related to the sage mode, or to be mistaken, natural energy, but the latter, based on the research and experience of the end, is not so far away.
One month, two months, eight months.
Rikakashi only goes home almost once a month to deal with work matters outside the home. Before that, he was almost always outside the narrow and crowded Forest of Death, like a sponge thrown into the water, frantically absorbing the contents of the Sealed Book.
All kinds of knowledge improve one's own level.
That kind of life lasted until the summer of 1956 in Konoha, when I reluctantly walked out of the seclusion and returned home.
If I definitely can't, I really want to just quietly retreat from the search for strength, but my reason tells me that I don't have a more convenient and slow way to go.
So, after a short rest at home a few days ago, I went to the Hokage's small building alone to take on the mission.
"Is he sure?"
At first, Yashiro just nodded without any reaction when he heard that Hikakashi was going to take the mission. He thought that I was just resting in peace and thought that I had gained a lot outside of the Sealed Book, so he planned to go out and use the mission to try out actual combat.
But before Kakashi left that day, he carefully took on the task of cleaning up stray ninjas in the Land of Fire, Yashiro raised his head and asked: "How long do you plan to stay?"
As soon as I looked at the mission that Hikakashi chose, I knew that my purpose was not to do any mission, but to find a name so that I could move around freely.
Those wandering ninjas who committed crimes must have died somewhere in the corner. Even if they died, they would probably have fled to other areas. It would be time-consuming and labor-intensive to arrest them, but the rewards would be very high.
Rikakashi estimated: "At least one year."
Yashiro nodded and said nothing more, "If you are sure about it, let's collect information on Jiraiya and Tsunade."
Rika and Kashi nodded, but some didn't care. In the ninja world, news about the two of them is hard to find. Tsunade is known as the little fat sheep in the ninja world. Some people know it and some are Akatsuki. Jiraiya often has to follow you to pay off your debt.
, the dignified Eight Ninjas of Konoha, it is difficult to find traces.
Before leaving Konoha, I changed my clothes, covered myself in a white robe, and headed straight for the White Market in the Land of Fire.
The so-called white market is actually a place where bounty hunters and intelligence dealers gather. As an ANBU, Hiume Shosada is fairly familiar with it.
It didn't take much effort to find Bai Shi's stronghold in the Land of Fire.
Naturally, I came here for information or to do some business, just to check a list.
Bounty list.
As small as tens of millions of S-class rebel ninjas, or key figures in each ninja village.
Wandering ninjas that range in size from millions of taels to hundreds of thousands taels.
His portrait, list, scope of activities, and general strength are all clearly marked on the white market's bounty list.
Even Rimei Xiangzhen saw his own name.
[Bounty target: Hikakashi]
[Age: 10 (slightly believe that his age is false)]
[Strength and Weakness: Elite Genin (Recent Update)]
[A genius ninja of the Hyuga clan, proficient in Hyuga-ryu Ninja Escape, possesses top-notch teleportation speed in the ninja world, has a rich reserve of ninjutsu, and his strength is definitely to be underestimated.
Current identity: Konoha Anbu (crossed out), Konoha genin.
Achievements: There was a head-on battle with a smaller enemy, causing the Seventh Kazekage Rasa's arm to be injured.
Specific information value: 1 million taels.]
[Kill reward: 17 million taels.]
[Value of white eyes: 100 million taels.]
Oops!
Rika and Kashi were shocked by their own worth.
It means that his head is now worth 17 million taels, and Baiyan has reached an astonishing price target.
Just information that doesn't involve me can be sold for one million taels, which is amazing enough.
Rika Kashi stared at the list for a while, Chapter 7 said, exit the White Market Information Exchange.
"You want to buy specific information about Kakashi."
The inside of the Information Exchange looked very mysterious. The owner and the customers were completely separated by a wooden wall. As my voice sounded, the other side of the wall just lazily replied: "One million taels."
Rikakashi took out a check of one million taels from his wallet. It was a registered check. As long as the check was complete and the seal was damaged, the money could be withdrawn outside the bank.
A large window was opened under the wooden wall. Before taking the money note, he handed over a piece of letter paper filled with words.
[The white eyes are suspected to be low-level mutations, possessing completely the same power as the abnormal white eyes.]
[Hikakashi does not have the ability to fly independently. Now he uses chakra to dissolve his wings. The speed data is predicted to be...]
[Hikakashi masters the Konoha ninja, Hatake Uchiha's S-level ninjutsu Raikiri, which is famous in the ninja world. It can penetrate the sand gold defense of the Seventh Kazekage Rasa in a sudden attack. 】
[It is extremely unlikely that my instantaneous speed will be lower than instantaneous water-stopping speed. Straight-line burst speed and continuous acceleration are the fastest.]
[The reserve of ninjutsu he masters is quite abundant, and he has the ability to cast many attribute ninjutsu. 】
[The Hyuga-ryu Yin Release is an original Nin Yin Release. It cannot be used on the basis of the Hyuga-ryu secret technique of the four hexagrams empty palm to perform long-range soft fists, complete acupuncture points, and block the flow of chakra, which is extremely safe.]
[His identity is the eldest son of Hyuga Hizashi, the head of the Hyuga clan. If he can be captured alive, he may not be able to ask for a few Byakugan from the Hyuga clan. 】
Hikakashi read it carefully, shook his head, threw it back to the information exchange with concern, and walked out of the room.
I don't even know who is selling that information or putting a reward on it.
There is a small chance that it will be found in Luosha.
This move is very understandable. This is also the first time that each ninja village has done this. They put each other's younger generation under the bounty list and sell targeted information. On the one hand, they can't make more money, and on the other hand,
If I could be lucky enough to use a bounty hunter to get rid of the young genius and mainstay of the Ninja Village, why bother?
Rikakashi didn't stay too long and left Baishi in a high-profile manner, but he didn't leave too far.
Under the bamboo hat, layers of white gauze covered my face, and the white eyes flashed with the well-known blue arc, searching for the target.
Where is the best place to find people on the bounty list?
Of course they are people who come to Baishi to hunt for bounty targets!
The ninja world is like the cruel nature, where the strong eat the weak.
There is often only a thin line between the predator and the hunted.
Rikakashi’s purpose of leaving the village this time is very simple – to gain free experience points.
In hindsight, it seems that the most ineffective way to obtain free experience points is to rely on fighting.
The more prey I find, the richer the free experience points are given to me.
The wandering ninjas and rebel ninjas active in the distance of White City fully realized that they had not yet become the "prey" being selected.
Before Hikakashi locked the two genin-level targets with his Byakugan, he quietly escaped into the shadows. As an Anbu, tracking, lurking, and assassinating are my duties in this genin.
Hikakashi waited very patiently, but unexpectedly, the two rebel ninjas did not stay in Bai City for long. Before receiving the bounty and information, they used the transformation technique to blend into the crowd and prepared to continue wandering.
But Kakashi's faint blue pupils, without any fluctuation, stared at our backs on the veil of the bamboo hat.
The hunt is over.
...
a year ago.
Seventy-one years of Konoha.
Autumn.
Far away from the White Market in the Land of Fire, there is a gold exchange house and a large tavern.
It was now mid-morning and dusk was gradually setting.
Logically speaking, this should be the quietest start of the day in the pub.
But at this time, there were only a few people in the tavern, except for eight disguised rebels from Longyin Village, sitting in the corner, drinking sake.
"What's going on? Isn't it said that there are the fewest people in the White Market in the far reaches of the Fire Country? If you want to discuss a business, you can always find someone? That place is a money exchange. Is there anyone who comes to get money there?
"
A rebel ninja muttered and complained.
The other traitorous ninja was observing the surroundings vigilantly at this moment, and also felt that the situation was not normal.
The eight people exchanged a few words loudly and called the bartender in the tavern.
Rather than being a bartender, he is a service staff member of the Baishi Gold Exchange.
The wandering ninjas received missions, exchanged information, traded currencies of the same country, and exchanged heads for bounties, all in a large tavern that looked like a good place.
The people who opened the tavern outside were naturally from unusual families. Before receiving a large sum of money, the bartender smiled and explained.
"They want to ask why there is someone in that distance, right?"
The bartender repeated our question, waited for us to nod, and then grinned: "Do they know who the most famous bounty hunter in the past six months is?"
"He means..." Among the rebel ninjas, one of them suddenly changed his face and subconsciously wanted to get up and leave, but saw the bartender wave his hand and said: "Don't worry, I'm always on the street.
Killing people, they also meet my hunting standards."
A rebellious ninja looked at his temporary partner with a confused look on his face and asked curiously: "What's going on?"
"It's this hunter and executioner!" The relaxed rebel ninja could vaguely see hot sweat falling on his forehead. I murmured in disbelief: "Does it mean that I have been in the Kingdom of Water recently? Why did I come out there?"
"Hehe, his news was too late. I came to the Fire Country while hunting a few days later."
"You know, the place where that guy finally appeared was not around the Country of Fire. That was my main hunting area."
Before the bartender finished speaking, the relaxed rebel nin immediately explained to his companions: "Does he know who the hunter and the executioner are?"
"Well, you have been active in the Kingdom of Frost since then. Are you very unknown?" The confused rebel ninja said cautiously.
"A year after my debut, the number of rebel ninjas and wandering ninjas who died under my hands now reaches an astonishing number of less than a hundred!"
"It doesn't matter how many people there are or what organization they belong to, as long as they are hit by me, there is no way out! Rumor has it that I don't catch prey around the Bai City. The prey I target, no matter how to hide or escape,
They will all be hunted by me before leaving Baishi!"
"Chunin, genin, and even S-level traitorous ninjas all died under my hands! Their strength is so terrifying that it's unimaginable!"
"As long as I take action, there will definitely be no survivors, or even witnesses!"
"Is there any intelligence? Is there any information? They only know my height and my habit of disguise. Does anyone even know whether I am a woman or a man?"
"Right now, as long as I see that guy, I will definitely leave Baishi until the scapegoat shows up..."
After the knowledgeable rebel explained, the bartender smiled faintly and said: "She is a woman, and hiding outside the White City is actually useful. I often practice assassination techniques in the distance of the White City."
"Has he seen me?" Rebellious Ninja narrowed his eyes.
The bartender raised his chin and looked into the room with a helpless tone: "Ah, I guess..."
In the tavern, a woman wearing a white robe and a bamboo hat came hurriedly.
The rebel ninjas felt their whole bodies stiff, and their breathing stagnated for a moment.
"Executioner, that's a nice title."
A hoarse, high-pitched voice sounded from the bamboo hat. Looking at his face clearly, he could only vaguely feel the dimly visible eyes on the veil, which seemed as sharp as a tangible sword.
Several rebel ninjas swallowed their saliva.
The bartender gave a flattering and innocent smile, as if he was concerned about you: "You said it!"
The eight rebellious ninjas were on pins and needles. Even though the man in white behind us had already looked at us, we still felt an extreme sense of oppression. The bone-chilling murderous aura beneath me was almost solid, making people instinctively feel chilled all over.
.
"Crack."
A seal scroll was thrown out.
The bartender took it skillfully and quickly went to check it the day before yesterday. After a while, he returned the scroll with a stack of money bills.
"A total of eleven million taels."
The man in white took the money ticket, turned around and left.
It wasn't until I was far away that the few rebel ninjas took a small breath and relaxed.
"How scary!"
"Yeah, eleven million taels. How many people did that guy kill?"
The bartender quickly took out the reward list, changed the drawings on it, and blacked out a few names.
Outside of my heart, I sighed quietly - if I continue to kill like that, the white markets around the Fire Country will not be able to close down.
There are many people who have been painted out by me, but they are all my regular customers!
As for the identity of the man in white under the street, there is no doubt that he is Hikakashi, who has not been hanging around for a whole year.
During that year, I briefly experienced the job of a bounty hunter, and I did it wrong.
The Country of Fire, the Country of Water, the Country of Grass, the Country of Wind... I have left footprints in almost every small part of the ninja world. Of course, there are no corpses.
In fact, if I hadn't killed this group of traitorous and wandering ninjas until they were hidden, and it would become increasingly difficult to catch them, and the benefits and efficiency of hunting would become higher and higher, I would even want to stop working there for a year.
After hard work, the harvest is naturally more abundant.
[Current free experience value: 221980]
A full 770,000 free experience points have not yet fully reached Kakashi's goal.
Considering that the recent harvests were increasing and the time to complete a hunt was getting longer and longer, Hikakashi made a decisive decision to leave that profession and return to Konoha.
I returned to Konoha in a dusty state, and when I got closer, I canceled my disguise.
The first thing, of course, is to go to Yashiro to report the mission.
A year has passed, and the wrinkles on Yashiro's face have decreased a lot, but he seems to be in a much better mood. As the battle between Kumogakure and Iwagakure continues to deepen, it finally stabilizes to a certain extent.
Konoha's situation is gradually improving.
Small batches of newborns have not yet reached the age of schooling, especially the younger generations of small families, who have also entered the ninja school campus. If it is by accident, in the next ten years, the fault lines in Konoha will be
After a slight improvement, before the baby boomers from before the Eighth War have fully grown up, Konoha will once again have the capital to compete in the ninja world.
Although they supported the Yuzuru clan, they also made a gesture of actively integrating into Konoha through the joint efforts of Ume Shosada, Fugaku and Shisui. Although the results were minimal, and there was no time when it was counterproductive, but in general
That said, the attitude is quite wrong.
As it was in the past, just let the elderly have their headaches.
Yashiro looked at Hikakashi with a smile and said: "When you come back that time, do you still plan to go out?"
Rikakashi smiled and shook his head: "Yes, it was by accident. In the past few years, I plan to stay outside the village."
"That's good...it's time to spend time with his outsiders. Ningji isn't in seventh grade yet, right?" Yashiro chatted about his daily life.
Rimei Xiangzhen raised the corners of her lips and said with a smile: "How is this big boy doing in school recently?"
"It's still wrong. After all, he's his younger brother. For more details, he has to ask my teacher." Before Yashiro finished speaking, he paused and said, "Are there any promising candidates? Those batch of ninja schools?
Apart from being a student, he is also a child with many talents."
Yashiro was smiling, but he was also hiding it, with a look full of pretense: "If you are not optimistic, I have to delay saying hello to you - like Metkai, he seems to have taken a liking to a child named Da Li recently.
"
Rikakashi responded, but did not immediately agree to come forward. He just said, "Let's wait until you get in touch with these children."
"Well, it's slow. Even Neji won't graduate in seven years."
Yashiro smiled and raised his pipe, then suddenly said seriously: "There is nothing that you think you should talk to him about."
"What?" Hikakashi looked confused, while Yashiro sighed and took out an application form.
Rimei Xiangzhen picked it up, stared at the photo under the application form, looked at it briefly for a while, and nodded.
"Izumi is an outstanding ninja. If that is the path you want to take, I don't think I can give you a chance."
What Hikakashi held in his hand was an ANBU application form.
The person who submitted that application was Izumi Xiang Yuzuru, who passed the chunin exams of the Four Classics at the beginning of this year and became a chuunin, and had not yet changed his name.
"What's your name?" Hikakashi raised his head and asked.
Yashiro picked up his pipe and said: "While on a mission last year, the group followed by Genin Kato was attacked by a ninja named Akira. As a result, Izumi awakened the double Magatama Sharingan, and was asked to return to the Yuzuru clan.
family."
"My mother and father and I have not yet moved outside Mei Xiangzhen's clan and are officially living as members of the Mei Xiangzhen clan."
Rikakashi narrowed his eyes and asked seriously: "What is the specific situation?"
"Izumi didn't say anything - he just said that he was attacked by a mysterious ninja. Genin Kato was killed on the spot almost instantly. You were far away and turned on the Sharingan and fell into coma due to the mental shock."
In the past, before waking up, the other party knew whereabouts."
Yashiro's smile was not amused, and he looked at Hikakashi: "Now, do you still think you are suitable for joining ANBU?"
Rikakashi was silent for a moment and nodded hurriedly: "You doubted you."
"good."
Yashiro smiled and took back the application form, stamped it, but said meaningfully: "If it's not possible now, he'd better talk to you."
Hikakashi nodded again, with a bit more malice. He smiled fiercely and stroked his glasses again: "You will."
"By the way, Naruto has been secretly asking you where he went - on the day of enrollment, I was very disappointed that he was there." Yashiro calmly stood in front of the microphone, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said faintly: "
Since you have decided to be good to me, guide me well. Like him, I am responsible for the future of Konoha."
"You know, thank you little Yashiro." Hikakashi thanked him sincerely. No matter what, if Yashiro said those words to me, he is not selling his favor. It cannot be said that he is trying to protect each other.
Feelings.
Usually, he was attacked by a "mysterious man" in Meixiang Zhenquan, but he was willing to give out specific information and was approved to join the Anbu. This was obviously because of Hikakashi's face.
"Ah, by the way, there is no Uchiha yet." The more Yashiro thought about it, the more helpless he became. Come to think of it, many of the troubles that have troubled me for a long time seem to be gradually gone away from Kakashi.
.
"I haven't left ANBU for a while, but no matter what kind of students I recommended, I rejected them all. The pass rate is currently zero percent."
"He has the best relationship with me. If you go and have a good chat with me, if you don't have any students you hate, he can arrange one for me. He always sends the children back to re-study. For these children,
It’s a good thing to say.”
Rikakashi just smiled when he heard this: "Yes, yes, you will talk to me carefully. If you pass it, it will definitely not work."
The reason why Uchiha continuously eliminates the graduating children and leads the team is naturally the same as in the original work - he is a person who can value his companions and is worthy of becoming my disciple.
At that point, Hiume Shosada thought there was something wrong with me. Maybe my methods were a little more ruthless than those of other ninjas, but it was not a way of protecting these children.
Is there anyone who realizes better than me what it means for a child to leave school and enter the ninja world?
"Go ahead, I guess he has a lot of things waiting for him outside his home. I'll say hello to the Hizashi clan leader for you."
Yashiro waved his little hand and let me go home to rest.
Rikakashi left the Hokage's building before saying goodbye. He decided to deal with the trivial matters of Izumi and the others first, and then break through his own chakra refining technique to see how this road to becoming a sage turned out.
What kind of impact will immortal transformation have on me? Will it affect my strength in the short term? Will it cause any changes to my body? These are all my concerns, and I dare to act rashly.
I was willing to delay and set off immediately, heading towards the Yuzuru clan's clan.
Once the ANBU approval comes in, Izumi Xiang will be very busy.
Naruto, that guy, is going to treat me to a delicious barbecue later - until I collapse on the ground, I can probably forgive myself and have a big problem of being able to come back when school starts.
Bar.
Even though I had been sleeping in the open for a long time, Hikakashi looked very neat and tidy at this time. I randomly tied my longer hair into a half bun, because the length didn't look messy, but it didn't look too messy at all.
He looked slovenly, wearing a tactical vest and white combat uniform, and looked like a qualified ninja now.
When I walked to the door of the Yuzuru clan, the person at the door, Mei Xiangzhen, was obviously very familiar with me. He took the initiative to say hello, showed a smile that was common among other people in Konoha, and took the initiative to ask me who I was looking for.
"Xiang Yuxianquan, are you at home now?"
Hearing that Hikakashi was looking for you, a seventeen-year-old ninja Xiang Yuzuru who was just passing by at first stopped and asked subconsciously: "What is he looking for you for?"
,Sorry, just curious."
Hiume Shosada turned around and looked at me with a smile. From the face of the ninja Yuzuru, I saw a little... vigilance.
Izumi's charm is really small.
"You are friends. We have known each other since we were young." Before Hikakashi finished speaking, the expression on Ninja Yuzuru's face became less stiff.
I laughed without any embarrassment: "They are... childhood sweethearts. Go ahead and say it for him. You should be at home."
When the young ninja left the house, the guard Mei Xiangzhen at the door burst into laughter without concealing it.
Rikakashi also planned to retreat, so he started chatting with the guard at the door.
"Is Quan very unknown in the clan?"
"No name, but it doesn't matter. After all, it's common to be able to open the Sharingan at your age because you grew up in the clan. Your mother was also married because of her special talent as a ninja, but there are
Thinking about Quan's talent is so amazing.
And he also knows that even outside the Xiang Yuzuru clan, boys as beautiful as you are rare, so how can those stinky guys be able to keep their composure."
Although the guard looked to be in his early eighties, he spoke in an old-fashioned manner. It was obvious that he had a lot of experience.
Hikakashi and I chatted intimately: "Really, in your opinion, those guys outside the clan are quite annoying - were you that hot and cold when you were growing up?"
"Re Bing Bing?" Hikakashi was stunned for a moment. He could only imagine what Re Bing Bing looked like to Yuexian Izumi. In my impression, Izumi has always been this soft, ferocious, violent, and hateful big boy.
"Ah?" The guard was also stunned, then he let out a sudden sigh, stopped his smile, as if he had thought of something, and just said loudly with emotion: "He should stop chatting with you now, you are here
I don’t have any friends within the clan.”
When Kakashi asked, footsteps sounded outside the small door.
Tao Nan poked his head out from the door, and when he saw Hikakashi, his pretty face showed a hint of surprise. He looked at me blankly for a while, but his face showed the same gentle smile as before.
In other words, it seems that you are not used to smiling yet. At this moment, you just raise the corners of your mouth and nod. You really look like "hot and cold" as others say.
Looking at your long hair draped over your shoulders, you can still see a bit of childish face when we meet next time. At this moment, you have completely transformed into the appearance of a man, with your long hair hanging casually in front of your head, and your slender face.
On the willow brows, the eyes were just staring at Hikakashi quietly. The emotions in them were not simple and difficult to understand.
On the bridge of his nose that was getting lower and straighter, his lips opened and closed heavily: "Yuzuru, he's back."
Xiang Yuxianquan walked out of the house, nodded to the guard and said hello. He walked slowly behind me, looked up and down, and smiled lightly, but soon his intensity returned.
"Is nothing wrong?" you asked seriously.
Rikakashi smiled and suggested: "If you are busy, why don't we go for a walk together?"
"I have to eat later, and I haven't trained yet in the evening... Let's take a walk around the house?" Mei Xiang Zhenquan finished his words.
Even though the two of them talked about everything, there was no subtle, cold atmosphere, forming a subtle barrier between the two.
The smile on Hikakashi's face gradually faded, and the eyes on the lenses showed little emotion, but seemed to be looking at you without any curiosity.
Until I sighed to Yuxianquan, took the initiative to take steps, and spoke loudly: "What's wrong?"
"It's just that I'm not used to his behavior." Hikakashi's face reappeared with a grumpy smile that was unfamiliar to Yuzuruizumi.
Mei Xiang Zhenquan walked back with his head held high, and said attentively: "People will always change."
The two fell into silence again.
Consciously, he walked to a river embankment in the village. Thanks to the fact that the Yuzuru clan's clan is now on the edge of Konoha, he could find a quiet enough place by walking carefully.
The sloping river bank is covered with green grass, but now half of it is gradually withering.
The two stopped at the stone steps leading to the river bank. Hikakashi sat on it without caring about his image. Izumi hesitated for a moment, kept a little distance, and sat next to him.
The autumn wind passed by, blowing towards Yu Xianquan's long hair. You picked up a strand and let it go forward casually. The profile of your face with the beautiful tear stain shone brightly in the setting sun.
"His ANBU application will be approved very slowly if it is done accidentally."
After Hikakashi finished speaking, his gaze towards Yuxianquan was consciously attracted to me. At this moment, I was just like myself just now, just quietly staring at the river bank in autumn, watching the gurgling river water.
It flows away, occasionally making a few sounds of hitting the river bank.
Under the chiseled profile, looking sideways, I happened to pass by the glasses I had worn for a long time and saw my white eyes, as clear as snowflakes.
Rimei Xiangzhen seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly took out a large booklet from his tactical vest and sketched it seemingly casually with a sketch pen. Izumi glanced at it secretly and seemed to be drawing.
Can I still draw?
"In the previous grouping, you would suggest to Yashiro that he join Shisui-senpai's team."
I wanted to speak to Yuzuruizumi, but Hikakashi sketched it casually under the big booklet and said in a tone of agreement with Shirong: "There is nothing he is vague about. Now go ask Shisui junior, I will
Hiding something from him."
You will have something to say.
"I definitely feel like I'm getting used to the life of ANBU, so I just need to tell Shisui junior about it."
After finishing his words, it took a long time before Mei Xiang Zhenquan gave a high-pitched sigh and agreed to come forward.
There was another moment of silence, except for the tip of Hikakashi's pen rustling under the paper.
Hikakashi turned his head, only to see your slightly panicked eyes and side face as you moved away. He closed the picture album in his hand and handed it to you.
"The gift for him... Congratulations to him for becoming a chuunin. You drew it yourself. It records such boring scenes and scenery."
Xiang Yuexianquan stood firm, reached out to take the picture album, silently opened it and took a look at it. The picture on the first page was an ordinary wild flower.
On both sides of the muddy and narrow road, where there are thick weeds, the beautiful flower blooms quietly, quietly releasing its beauty in the painting.
"Thank you." Xiang Yuxianquan said loudly.
Rikakashi stood up hurriedly, patted the dust under his buttocks, and laughed loudly: "He has to fill up the blank space in front of him by himself."
"Come on, there's no problem. I can't come to you at any time - just like in the future." I said and had no intention of leaving.
Xiang Yuxianquan stood up and pursed his lips. Finally, he still raised his head and said in a low voice: "Is he asking...what exactly happened?"
"I want to know, but I'm sure he wants to say it, just ask."
Rikakashi smiled softly and stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch your head, but stopped: "Yes, did you protect him well that time?"
"It's none of his business!" Izumi lowered his voice consciously, but he thought of something and swallowed the previous words.
You stood up, raised your head slightly and looked at me, staring at me intensely.
"You know what you're doing."
He hesitated to Yuxianquan's voice.
Hikakashi hummed, their eyes crossed. Outside of your eyes, there was only your own persistence.
So, whatever you hide becomes more important.
"He must have done something wrong, and you will correct him in time."
After Rikakashi finished speaking, he stared at you, stretched out his hand, and flicked your forehead hard.
You still avoided it.
Watching me quietly, I raised my head slightly.
"Um!"
The two parted in the sunset.
On the way home, Quan covered his head, not angry at all, but unable to hold back, and opened the album.
I was admiring every page outside the picture album attentively, guessing what my mood was when I painted that picture.
Very slowly, I turned to the last page.
This is a painting I just finished.
Outside the painting, by the river embankment, the side face of the man sitting under the stone steps is clearly shadowed in the sunlight. The eyes under the tear mole are dark as if they are responding to the light. The boy outside the painting has slightly raised corners of his mouth that make you immediately
Strange, yet not familiar at all.
That was the gentle smile that Kakashi searched for in his memory and reappeared on the brush.
You looked at Yu Xianquan for a long time, until his face showed the same smile as Tao Nan off-screen, and then he returned to the tribe slowly and slowly. When the guard at the door saw this, he just showed a knowing smile, letting you
Subconsciously, he changed back to Nuan Bingbing, which made the guard unable to hold back his laughter for a moment.
But before they parted, Hikakashi's eyes became even colder.
There is no doubt that Quan has become someone's target, or a pawn.
The person who uses you may not be targeting me - after all, I have always kept a distance from Quan. I am both distant and too close. To others, Quan's existence is just a "significant" person of mine.
Just a childhood playmate.
Even if no one really wants to start from his side, he should start from outside Quan Na.
Is Itachi better? His identity is more sensitive, his potential is more prominent, and his relationship with me is relatively closer.
But no matter who chooses to make you a pawn, is it against Konoha, Mei Xiangzhen, or me.
Rika and Kashi are very happy.
The next person who makes me feel so happy has to go back to Hyuga Teru, who even shares his grave with other Hyuga clan elders.
I stood at the intersection, took a deep breath, and calmed down.
Hikakashi regained his enthusiasm, walked towards the direction of the ninja school, and hurried away using the teleportation method. Now that it is time to get out of school, I have to slow down my pace.
I can protect everyone - no matter if it's Uchiha, Metkai, Izumi, Shisui... or myself.
As long as you take the path of a ninja, countless crises are destined to lurk in the future.
Even now, I have no problems that I can't solve, and no enemies that I can't deal with.
If you want to change everything, there is only one way.
weaken.
Becoming weaker than anyone else.
I walked to the main entrance of the Ninja School and stopped. It was just the right time for the children to get out of school.
The seedlings of Konoha came out of the school in groups, noisily and noisily. Some parents, like Hiume Shosada, were waiting for their children at the door.
Rimei Xiangzhen, who looks younger than seventeen or seventeen years old, has a handsome face, and the tactical vest underneath is quite eye-catching. His raw face naturally attracted many people's attention.
"elder brother!?"
Neji's voice sounded without any surprise from outside the crowd of children after school.
Next to me, a man with a bruised nose and swollen face and thick eyebrows wearing green tights was shouting something beside me, but was silenced by Neji's voice, and he subconsciously turned towards the sun.
Kakashi looked.
Neji's face showed a cheerful smile that is rare among classmates. I slowed down and walked towards him, but suddenly Lucky shouted loudly and stretched out his hand to punch Hikakashi in the stomach.
"Snapped."
A finger flicked under my forehead hard.
Neji's fist, which was wrapped in Soft Fist chakra, was easily dodged by me. At the same time, my head was thrown forward by Hikakashi, and tears of pain slowly came out, and I was angry.
His eyes narrowed.
"Do you think it's enough if you don't have those setbacks?" Hikakashi retracted his fingers with a smile and rubbed my forehead. The green chakra light waves slowly made my pain subside.
That's less force than Danquan's forehead. If you treat me, I'll definitely have a bag in a while.
Neji said in a depressed voice: "He's not like him. He goes out for a year just to say a word, and he's still like that when he comes back..."
"Sorry, sorry." Rikakashi smiled again and apologized: "That time, you will stay at home with him for a while."
"Who needs his company..." I turned my head away to touch him, standing next to Hikakashi with an arrogant look.
The girl with thick eyebrows next to me is naturally not Da Li.
"He is Neji's classmate, right? What's his name? He looks very similar to one of your friends."
Rikakashi smiled and stretched out his hand to greet me.
Da Li subconsciously reached out and wiped his hands under his trousers first, then stretched out his hands, full of vigor, and whispered as if reporting to the instructor during military training: "You are Rock Li! You are Neji's classmate.
!Ningji is your most important opponent!"
I held Hikakashi's hand tightly, with a burning look in my eyes, as if I knew, and thought I wanted to propose marriage to Hikakashi and marry Neji back.
People around him looked at him one after another, and from time to time, there were several uncontrollable laughters.
Neji looked like he wasn't used to Da Li's behavior to the point of despair. I sighed and tugged at the hem of Hikakashi's clothes: "I'm an idiot."
"That's right, I'm very lethargic." Hikakashi patted Da Li's shoulder nonchalantly, looked at my eyes that were wide open in disbelief, and said softly: "At that age, you can put your body into a
With such strong training, he will definitely become an outstanding ninja in the future."
"Thank you, thank you!" Rock Lee looked like he was about to cry.
"Does he know Metkai?" asked Rika Kashi.
Locke Li nodded repeatedly: "I am your teacher! Do you know me too!?"
When Da Li was in the first grade, he was ridiculed and even had stones thrown at him because of his abilities. Metkai asked me what his goal was. Da Li's answer made me vaguely see myself back then.
, so he finished training me bit by bit and taught me the Yin Escape training method.
As for Ningci, as a big kid who was over one year old at the moment, when Li said in public that he could become a real ninja even if he could use ninjutsu and genjutsu, he smiled respectfully and was regarded as such by Li.
Challenge goal.
It was so pitiful that Neji really laughed at me at that time, but outside of Neci's heart, there was only one insignificant ninja - this was not a ninja like my brother.
Da Li?
I'm really good at it.
Is there anyone who realizes better than Neji that his brother is no less powerful after all?
But Da Li only felt that I was looking at him, and while working harder, he regarded Ningci as an insurmountable mountain behind him, but also a target with a higher goal.
You must work hard until you beat me!
Even though Neji didn't feel so guilty, he still had a very arrogant temper. He wouldn't explain anything to anyone. If he wanted to hit him, just hit him. Just beat him and that would be it.
Ever since, the bad relationship between the two has continued from the first grade to the present, and even looking at the trend, Xiaomi has no intention of continuing it.
Hikakashi looked at Neji's curled lips, put one hand under my head, and messed up my hair without politeness, while talking to Da Li: "Of course, I am your friend, a very outstanding person."
The escaping ninja.
That is to say, in your eyes, outside of Konoha, and even among the ninjas in the entire ninja world, Akai is the weakest one in Meixiang. Even you, in pure Meixiang's way, are far worse than me.
Even if you put aside the scope of Yin Escape and only evaluate me as a ninja, I am definitely a very powerful ninja in the ninja world."
"Really!?" Da Li has never heard anyone speak so highly of Metkai, let alone anyone saying that even if he only specializes in Yin Escape, he can become such an outstanding being.
The feeling of being recognized and the excitement made our eyes turn red, and we almost cried on the spot. We screamed in a cold-blooded voice: "You must become a weakling like the teacher! Tell everyone! Escape Ninja
,can also..."
"Yuzuru-nii!!!"
But a quieter voice drowned out my heroic words. Nearby, Naruto with a yellow hedgehog head was like a big missile, rushing straight towards Hiumei Shouzhen, as if he was flying, trying to give me a head
cone.
Hikakashi just turned his body quickly, and Uzumaki Naruto plunged into the air, staggered several steps, and almost hit the wall before he stopped.
"Cute! Look at your escape!" Uzumaki Naruto screamed and tried to bump into me. That time, Hiumei Shouzhen caught me and said directly, pressing my forehead with one hand.
Down.
Naruto Uzumaki waved his arms angrily, spinning them like windmills, but because of his short hands, he couldn't touch anyone: "Why did it take so long to say goodbye! I promised to celebrate your birthday with you and send you to school.
The! Liar! Little liar!”
"You just said that if you don't have time, you will definitely arrive, but you just have time." Hikakashi explained quickly or quickly.
Seeing that he was used to me acting coquettishly towards his brother, Neji snorted: "Ninjas are very busy, Naruto, stop being so sophisticated."
"He's very tactful when it comes to being jealous for his brother. Yes, he's very cute~" Hikakashi leaned close to my ear and said quietly.
Neji's face immediately turned red.
I was just about to explain a few words when I saw Hikakashi hugging my neck affectionately and hugging me to one side. My brother's long-lost display of closeness made me feel depressed and embarrassed at the same time. It was at the school gate, okay.
Few people are watching!
Naruto also calmed down and came up, bulging his face: "You also know that ninjas are very busy, aren't they..."
I'm not sad at all.
Rikakashi simply put his arm around the big man's neck and half-hugged him: "You big devils, don't be too troublesome. If we show up here, the two of them can't stop playing."
"Who would pay attention to that stinker like Sasuke?" Naruto turned away.
"Huh? I want to use Sasuke to humiliate you." Veins bulged on Neji's forehead.
"Hmph! Let's talk!"
Yuzuru Sasuke's warm voice sounded from the front, joining the battle group.
Because of Hikakashi, Neji, Sasuke, and Naruto cannot be said to have played together since they were eight or seven years old. Although they seemed to have stopped fighting when they met, the relationship was actually wrong.
The Seven Pillars are now in a heroic posture, with cool hands in their pockets. Ino and Sakura are surrounding me on the right and on the left. I really look like a winner in life - if you ignore that my face is also red with anger at this moment.
If it looks like.
Rikakashi took a step forward, folding his arms happily and watching a group of older children arguing around. He glanced at them and smiled.
"Yuzuru... Good morning, Mr. Tao."
Hinata, who was originally planning to sneak away, made eye contact with me, so she stopped, raised her head, and said hello loudly.
"Okay, since we met by chance."
Rikakashi clasped his hands together and clapped heavily to attract attention.
Under the gaze of a group of older children, I smiled and said, "Today, you are going to treat us to a barbecue. Let them all come together. The parents are just worried and leave it to you to communicate."
Children who dream of becoming ninjas love to eat barbecue.
Even if some people don't think it's a good idea, after all, it's the first time they meet, but it only takes a few gentle words from Rimei Xiangzhen, and they will feel relieved and accept the request with a relieved heart.
I formed a seal with my hands, and amidst the sighs of a group of older children, I released several shadow clones to notify our parents to obtain permission, including to give permission to my own family, and then led the team back to the barbecue restaurant.
Hinata felt aggrieved and was 'threatened' by me, so she went with the others.
The seventeen weakest people in Konoha were just half defeated by me.
Sitting outside the barbecue restaurant, taking care of a group of big ghosts eating barbecue, Hikakashi looked at the group of Konoha's future people with a smile on his face.
I was only responsible for helping with the barbecue, ordering the dishes, and eating a few bites - if I were to be full first, the children couldn't eat for the time being.
When we were all full, we used our shadow clones to send us home again.
On the way home, Neci and Hinata followed me, one on the right and the other on the left. Hinata took one step forward, and Hiume Shosada followed quickly. Until you understand, it is the aggrieved He Ning.
Same thing every time, stand beside me until we walk together.
"Brother, can we train together tomorrow?"
Although he was very patient when he went there, after finishing the meal, Neji seemed very happy.
Everyone hates Hikakashi.
That makes me feel prouder than others praising me directly.
Rikakashi looked at my cheerful look and smiled, but still said in an apologetic tone: "It's okay for the time being."
"Oh..." Neji said something.
My interest visibly dropped.
Rimei Xiangzhen stretched out her hand and stroked my long hair heavily: "I want to study a technique recently... I'll practice with him until I succeed."
"Yeah." Neji said dullly.
"You must take good care of Hinata. As your brother, he must protect you just like you."
"You know! It's not you...you hate talking to you."
Hikakashi glanced at Hinata, and you turned your head to look at me in a simple mood.
"I'll take the initiative to talk to you! In short, before going home, you have to retreat and study. When you come out, he will accept your training with you. You are much gentler than their teacher."
"Are you afraid...but how long will it take to study?"
"Who knows?"
Rikakashi glanced at the text floating in the system with a deep look in his eyes.
It will take a while...very slowly, you will know.
