For the task assigned by Payne, although it was to find a partner for her, Yumi Hinata had no enthusiasm at all. She just wanted to slack off and move forward at the speed of ordinary people.
As a Konoha defector, although there seems to be no follow-up pursuit, Yumi Hinata was not arrogant enough to cross the Fire Nation in a straight line. They walked along the small countries north of the Fire Nation until they sneaked into the ship transporting supplies in the Land of Hot Water and went to the isolated and isolated Land of Water.
Pipa Shizang didn't seem to be forced to join the Akatsuki like her, but he didn't seem to be enthusiastic about returning to his hometown to do the task. For a whole month, although the two of them walked together, they didn't say a word to each other.
On the first night ashore in the Land of Water, Yumi Hinata first found a dry open space in the barren vast forest, raised a bonfire, sat next to it, and took out the sushi that she had bought in the Land of Hot Water. Pipa Shizang didn't raise any objection and sat down silently.
The Land of Rain wasn't very small among the small countries, but the Rain Village had always been very poor. Compared with the rapidly changing Konoha, it seemed to be no different from the last time Yumi Hinata saw it — but that was during the Third World War.
Pangolin, which was not a popular food, was not sold, and there were only four or five kinds of sushi. So when she arrived in the prosperous Land of Hot Water, she bought five dozen sushi of various flavors, not to mention all kinds of snacks, and now there were only ten left.
Although the temperature was low, the Land of Water was dark and humid, and it would be bad if she left it here.
Yumi Hinata looked at Pipa Shizang, who was leaning on the door-like broadsword and eating soldier food, and then thought of their meeting eight years ago, and silently finished the ten sushi.
However, this kind of willfulness of "not talking to you" had come to an end. The hatred of the past could only be kept in the heart.
Yumi Hinata had never been to the Land of Water, nor had she heard of the name of her target, Lantern Full Moon. She had to ask Pipa Shizang to share information with her. If Pipa Shizang was still bothered by the fact that the "seven people" turned into "three people" and refused to cooperate, then she could only remind him of the fear of being dominated by a taijutsu ninja. Without a sneak attack or opening the Four Gates, Yumi Hinata was confident that she could beat him.
"What do you think?" Yumi Hinata asked him. This was the first conversation they had since they left the Rain Village, or to be precise, out of Payne's sight.
Pipa Shizang said coldly, "Since we don't care if he's dead or alive, we might as well kill him and bring his corpse back. Lantern Full Moon's Psychic Ninja Sword uses the Psychic Scroll passed down from the Second Hokage. It doesn't have to be him. "
It was already dark, and Yumi Hinata could see things in the dark without any hindrance. She propped her chin up and poked the ground with her kunai. "The Second Hokage Mizukage? So the seven ninja swords are not Kirin's property, but the inheritance of the Hokage Clan?"
Pipa Shizang sneered. "I don't know about that. There are indeed rumors that Lantern Full Moon is an all-rounder who can use seven ninja swords, but what does his inheritance have to do with me? If anyone dares to take away my swords, then they don't want to live. "
"So you're saying that you're useless in the battle. When he summons you with the scroll, your sword will surrender to the enemy?" Yumi Hinata asked.
"Of course not." Pipa Shizang was a little annoyed. "That scroll can only summon things without an owner, and the swords that are in the hands of others won't be psychic."
Ah, so that's why he either carried, leaned, or held the swords along the way. In any case, he didn't put them down for a moment. Was that the reason?
Yumi Hinata sighed. "How many of the seven of you are left? They all want to kill that Lantern Full Moon. "
"I don't know," Pipa Shizang said. "Don't tell me you don't know the reputation of the 'Blood Fog'. Kirin is now hunting down all the families with Kekkei Genkai, including the Hokage Clan. It's not just a few people who want to kill him, but the whole of Kirin is hunting him down. "
Yumi Hinata really didn't know. Less than two years after the end of the Third World War, she retired and went home. She only managed the affairs of the Yasuji Clan and knew nothing about the situation outside.
Pipa Shizang looked back and forth at her several times to make sure that she wasn't deliberately playing with him. Then he gloomily explained the policy of the Fourth Mizukage after he came to power.
Whether it was killing the Kekkei Genkai Clan or the elimination mechanism of companions, Yumi Hinata was amazed.
In recent years, there must have been a lot of rebellious ninjas in Kirino, Yumi Hinata thought. For example, Pipa Shizang next to her. Looking at his mouth full of sharp teeth, he didn't look like an ordinary person.
Why do the superiors always think that fear is the best tool to rule? The Fourth Mizukage was like this, and the ancestors of the Hyuga family were also like this.
Human nature is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and to yearn to satisfy their own desires, whether that desire is money, power, self-esteem, freedom, strength, security, love, family, or other things. Fear can suppress people's desires for a while, but it can't be suppressed forever.
One day, people under heavy pressure will find that they can die in order to satisfy their desires, and then fear will no longer be able to rule them.
In contrast, the First Hokage was a person with great wisdom. He proposed the will of fire, and although ninjas were still tools, he made people sacrifice themselves and satisfy themselves in the illusion of love and friendship, inheritance and protection.
No, it can't be said to be an illusion. Hyuga Yumi recalled the memories of Konoha and her former companions. If she wasn't born in Konoha's Branch Family, she would be able to see the sharp blade hanging over her head at any time and place, so that she would always look at everything around her with a sharp gaze and reject the so-called fetters from the bottom of her heart. She would probably be willing to become the nutrient for Konoha's green leaves.
Even if Pipa Shizang downplayed Kirin, the place he mentioned could also be called hell. Compared to that, Konoha was indeed a beautiful place that people couldn't help but want to protect. But for her, outside of beauty, it was still hell.
Yumi Hinata fiddled with the bonfire and interrupted her thoughts. "So, where is Lantern Full Moon?"
Pipa Shizang looked at her in surprise. "You have the Byakugan, aren't you the one who will investigate?"
Yumi Hinata also looked at him. "I mean the general area. We can't go through the whole Land of Water inch by inch."
Pipa Shizang didn't seem to be pretending. "Payne didn't tell you?"
Yumi Hinata was also a little confused. "You are from the Land of Water. He should have told you. I don't know this place even if he told me."
The two were silent for a few seconds at the same time. They probably felt that they were idiots for following each other in silence and thinking that the other had a plan.
Pipa Shizang cursed, stood up and put the sword on his back. "Keep an eye on it. I'll ask Payne."
Was it the Phantom Lantern Jutsu attached to the ring? Using this body will definitely decrease her sensitivity to the outside world, so Pipa Shizang asked her to keep watch.
Yumi Hinata nodded and watched as Pipa Shizang closed his eyes and began to communicate with Payne.
How should she put it … This guy's face was a mess of scars and paint, and he had a ferocious look. At first glance, she felt that he was a very cruel and vicious person. Whether it was eight years ago or before, she always felt that way.
But unexpectedly, he seemed a little impatient and naive. At least Yumi Hinata would never enter the Phantom Lantern Jutsu alone in front of him, let alone let him keep watch.
Weren't they old enemies? So easy … Yumi Hinata shook her head and continued to take care of the crackling bonfire.
After a while, Pipa Shizang took off his sword and sat down. "He escaped from Kirin with his family. Payne asked us to search the entire Land of Water."
Yumi Hinata was stunned. Although the Land of Water was the smallest of the five countries, and was even a little bigger than the Land of Rain, she was completely treated as a coolie by using the Byakugan to measure the land while avoiding the local Kirino.
The most important thing was that she had never seen the Lantern Full Moon. She knew nothing about his appearance and Chakra.
