One week later, at the main entrance of the village.
A girl was carefully sorting out the luggage on Hyōjin's body.
From the girl's white eyes, it can be seen that she is the same as Hyōjin, a member of the Hyuga clan, and her age is similar, but her delicate face is slightly wrinkled, and she looks a little worried.
Hyōjin, who was looking at the distant Naruto Rock, smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's just a normal change of guard."
The girl nodded slightly, then took out a new pair of goggles from her waist bag and handed it to Hyōjin.
Hyōjin glanced at the girl and didn't say much, and put the goggles into his waist bag.
In fact, from a long time ago, Hyōjin has been wearing goggles like the Obsidian, but the goggles he bought have darker lenses, just like sunglasses.
The reason why he did this is not only to protect his eyes, but also to cover up his identity as a member of the Hyuga clan on the battlefield, to avoid being targeted by the enemy. Secondly, it is also to cover up the Tenseigan that may appear in the future. After all, in terms of appearance, there is still a certain difference between Tenseigan and Byakugan.
The girl is undoubtedly worried that the old goggles on Hyōjin's head will be broken, and it is difficult to buy a new replacement at the border, so she bought a new pair for Hyōjin as a spare.
At this time, a middle-aged ninja not far away waved his hand and shouted: "Time is up, let's go."
Hyōjin patted the girl's shoulder when he heard the words: "Yui, I'm leaving, don't worry about me, maybe I will be back soon."
The girl named Yui nodded gently, but the worry on her face couldn't be concealed.
Finally, Hyōjin looked at the distant Naruto Rock.
This time, the storm of Orochi Maru's defection, the village became the biggest loser. Orochi Maru defected and Jiraiya chased after him. So far, the famous Muye Sanin have all left the village!
Orochi Maru had lost the support of the village, but he had also gotten rid of the village's constraints. It was a win-win situation.
And Danzō, who had absorbed most of the forces of Orochi Maru, was undoubtedly the biggest winner. Hyōjin even suspected that Danzō had grasped part of the results of Orochi Maru's human experiments through this absorption, laying the foundation for stealing the Sharingan and Hashirama Cells in the future.
However, all of this was no longer important to Hyōjin.
The leaders of the village had reached a consensus that all the former subordinates of Orochi Maru, like Hyōjin, who had not been absorbed by the roots, would be transferred to the frontier.
Simply put, he was banished to the border, far away from the village!
Coming to the side of the middle-aged ninja, Hyōjin looked at the companions around him.
Including himself, there were a total of twelve ninjas, divided into three squads. Except for the three captains, the remaining nine members were all former subordinates of Orochi Maru.
The destination of the team is a border post at the junction of the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind.
As soon as he left the village, Hyōjin activated the Byakugan, as if entering a war zone, he was on full alert.
This is not Hyōjin making a fuss, but he had a profound lesson. Just a few months ago, he was attacked less than ten miles away from the village. The entire team that escorted the wounded from the front line back to the village suffered heavy casualties. If it weren't for the timely arrival of the village's support, his name would have been on the memorial tablet.
The cruel war taught Hyōjin a lot of things. Although the war has become a thing of the past, some habits are still difficult to change in a short time.
Kuroto was not the only one who raised his vigilance, the other ninjas who traveled with him also raised their vigilance after leaving the village, except for one person.
Glancing at the thin figure at the back of the team, Hyōjin sighed.
If there is anyone in the village who is most unwilling to believe that Orochi Maru defected, it is undoubtedly Mitarashi Red Bean who fell behind Hyōjin!
Almost overnight, Red Bean changed from a disciple of the Sanin, the rising star of the village, to a prisoner. After a few weeks of imprisonment, she was sent to the border with Hyōjin, completely away from the center of the village's power.
Just from her empty eyes and dull expression at the moment, it can be seen that she still can't accept that her teacher, one of the Sanin, Orochi Maru will betray the village.
This kind of collapse of faith may not be able to recover in her life.
Withdrawing his gaze from Anko's body, Suijin carefully looked at the ninjas who were traveling with him.
Among the twelve people, only the middle-aged ninja leading the team is a Jonin, and the other eleven including Hyōjin, Red Bean, and others are Chunin. It can be said that this team still has a certain combat effectiveness. As long as they do not encounter an ambush team composed of Jonin, there will be almost no safety problems along the way.
What's more, the war is over, and the probability of enemy Jonin appearing in Muye territory is very small.
Sure enough, as Hyōjin expected, there was no trouble along the way, and the team arrived at the border post smoothly.
After entering the border post, the team of twelve people was officially divided into three teams. Hyōjin, Red Bean, and a Chunin named Oda were assigned to the team that led the Jonin.
The country of fire and the country of wind are not bordered, and there are small countries such as the country of water and the country of rain in between, but these small countries actually have no effect on isolation.
The border post where Hyōjin is located is responsible for a border of about 40 miles. On one side of the post is the edge of the forest, and on the other side is the endless sea of sand.
In this way, Hyōjin lived a boring life of patrolling back and forth in the desert.
Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed.
All the news about the village has been cut off, and Hyōjin at the border seems to be isolated from the world, patrolling, guarding, and resting all day long.
During this time, he can feel that the team leader has been monitoring him and the other nine Orochi Maru old subordinates, so he behaved and did not make any unusual movements.
He secretly speculated that such monitoring will not last long.
Even if Muye is a big family, the manpower is not rich enough to monitor hundreds of ninjas for a long time, so the monitoring must have a time limit.
Sure enough, soon after, the village sent three new Chunin to replace the previous three captains including the middle-aged Jonin.
At first, Hyōjin thought that the village lifted the monitoring of himself and others, but after some observation, he found that the three new Chunin captains are all silent, giving people a cold feeling!
"These people are not ordinary Chunin!"
It didn't take long for him to realize that these three new captains are either Anbu or Root!
Did an ordinary border outpost need three Anbu or Root members to be the captain?
The answer is self-evident, so Hyōjin's thoughts suddenly scattered, he doesn't know what happened in the village in the past two months, but he knows that danger has come.
