Hyuga Suigetsu and Yumi Hinata stared at each other, speechless for a long time. Hyuga Suigetsu was not strong enough, but he refused to show any weakness. Yumi Hinata, on the other hand, felt guilty that Hyuga Suigetsu had not made any progress after working with her for more than ten days.
It was not until Suigetsu's teammates were on night duty that Yumi Hinata looked away. "You can go back now. If I find a way, I'll let you know."
Hyuga Suigetsu was speechless. He now understood the frustration of those who had to work with Yumi Hinata in the past. You had no idea what her whims were.
It was said that she was purely soft-hearted and kind-hearted, but it was said that the people sent by the village to kill her were all killed by her. Only two of her former teammates barely survived, but now they were still lying in the hospital. It was lucky that they could continue to be ninjas.
But to say that she's ruthless, her desire to protect children is so great that it's hard to understand. She can use Chakra, can pick up weapons, and can kill people. Isn't it an insult to treat such a ninja as a child rather than protection?
Of course, this was not the time for World War III. Children nowadays were definitely different from before. But the children of the Hyuga family had always matured early. There were many who became ninjas at the age of ten.
"You …" Hyuga Suigetsu wanted to say something, but he felt speechless. No one had been able to change Yumi Hinata for so many years. Even if she became a ninja, she could not change her. No matter what he said, it was useless.
But strangely enough, once he accepted this fact, Hyuga Yumi, who he was willing to betray the village to cooperate with, was a person who could barely be called a principled person. No matter how ridiculous this principle was, his guilt towards the village seemed to lessen.
"You can do whatever you want," Hyuga Suigetsu finally said. "But since you came to me, it means that you can't find a way to solve the 'Caged Bird' without a test subject. I've already stepped into this muddy water, so I'll do my best."
Yumi Hinata did not mind. "Even if you want to tell the Sandaime-sama, I don't care. But I have to tell you first. Do you know the Anbu Danzō?"
Hyuga Suigetsu hesitated. "I seem to have heard of it."
"Well, he leads the part of the Anbu that is not directly under the Hokage, called 'Root'. He is very unscrupulous. He has been wanting a Byakugan for a long time … "
"Wait!" Hyuga Suigetsu interrupted her in disbelief.. human experiments?! Using people from the Hyuga family?! "
"What's so surprising about that?" Yumi Hinata said calmly. "Didn't Orochimaru also catch Anbu people for experiments? Of course, the ones with Kekkei Genkai are more popular. Danzō tried to do that to me three years ago, but he didn't succeed. "
"Then why didn't you report it to the Sandaime-sama?!"
"Because I'm afraid." Yumi Hinata laughed. There was no sign of fear on her face. "If Danzō told the Sandaime-sama that this is for the overall benefit of Konoha, and that he won't kill me but will only make me suffer and sacrifice my happiness for all of Konoha, what do you think the Sandaime-sama would do? You are the Sandaime-sama, what would you do? " She looked at the expression on Hyuga Suigetsu's face and understood. "Oh, if you were me, maybe you would agree immediately."
Hyuga Suigetsu said in a deep voice. "So? What is it for? "
"I don't care what it is for. It has nothing to do with me if it's for the sake of the ninja world." Yumi Hinata said sternly. "Suigetsu, I told you that I don't mind if you report this to anyone. But, other than Danzō, there are two things you need to consider. First, my ability is not something you can estimate, and your report will definitely be biased. If the Sandaime-sama decides to send people to kill me, no matter how many of them come, they will all die, and I'm afraid the loss will be on your head. Second, if the Sandaime-sama finds out that there is another person other than me who knows about the 'Caged Bird' curse, will he still continue to trust the Hyuga family? Will the Hyuga family be able to stay in Konoha with peace of mind? What will happen to the Hyuga family if they lose their trust? What will happen to Konoha if they lose Yasuji? "
Hyuga Suigetsu was silent for a moment. "Don't worry, I won't report this to the Sandaime-sama, even if it's for the sake of the village."
Hyuga Yumi showed a satisfied expression of "Hyuga Miko" and asked him to go back and continue his night duty.
The next morning, before they arrived at the capital of the Land of Hot Water, Yumi Hinata felt a slight vibration of Chakra from the "Blue" ring in her secret pocket. She and Lantern Full Moon, who was walking on the other side, looked at each other. This was Payne's signal for contact. She was afraid that there was a new mission.
"Okay, ninja sama." Yumi Hinata stopped. "Let's stop here. My brother and I want to walk around here. After all, there won't be any ninjas in the Land of Hot Water who will rob us."
One of Hyuga Suigetsu's two teammates immediately showed a relieved expression and asked him for instructions. "Captain, the capital is not far ahead. There shouldn't be any danger …"
The other medical ninja was more attentive. "No, our mission is not complete until we arrive at Quanshan Street. Miss Hyuga, if you hurry up, we'll be there by noon. You can walk around as you want. "
Hyuga Suigetsu ignored them and silently looked at Yumi Hinata's waist and Lantern Full Moon's sleeve, where they put their rings.
He continued to stare at Full Moon Ghost Lantern until he was very impatient. Full Moon Ghost Lantern flicked his fingers.
He's really sharp. No wonder he's one of the most promising teenagers in the Hyuga family. Yumi Hinata smiled and rushed over, pulling Hyuga Suigetsu's sleeve. "Ninja-sama, it's really okay. My brother and I will be fine. If we walk further, we'll see the capital." Then she raised her head and lifted the curtain on her bamboo hat, mouthing silently: If you look again, I'll dig out your eyeballs.
Two minutes later, the completion of the mission was handed over. Yumi Hinata waved goodbye to the ninja sama who had escorted them all the way, and Lantern Full Moon had already teleported away to find a hidden place to use the Magic Lantern Body Jutsu.
When Yumi Hinata walked slowly to Lantern Full Moon, he had just finished talking with Payne. "New mission. Steal all the letters that the daimyo of the Waterfall Country received from the Waterfall Village in the last three months. "
Yumi breathed a sigh of relief. Stealing sounds much better than assassinating. "Do you have any plans?" she asked.
Lantern Full Moon frowned slightly, seeming a little distressed. "Sneaking in is no problem, but I'm asking for all the letters. I'm afraid we'll have to interrogate the relevant personnel."
Yumi Hinata curled her lips. "There's a 'Curse of the Tongue Technique'. If it's the daimyo's servant who's responsible for something as confidential as letters, they must have been planted with the technique. It's useless to interrogate them, and we can't do anything to the daimyo. I'll just use the Byakugan to slowly search."
In the end, the plan became Lantern Full Moon sneaking in with the Kunanisui with the Mark of Thor, and Yumi Hinata teleporting over. She activated the Byakugan and put all the things that were openly placed, carefully hidden, in the study, in the bedroom, in the secret room, in the drawer compartment, in short, in a large box. She directly carried the box Thor and went out to give it to the employer. As for whether there was anything that the employer wanted in the box, she would have to let him slowly find it.
This mission was done very quickly, and most of the time was spent on the journey. When they arrived, they had to travel day and night. After finishing the mission, Yumi Hinata became lazy.
"Walk slowly. There have been too many things happening in the past two months, and I haven't been cultivating properly. You too, right? Before the next mission comes, let's take a break. "
As usual, Lantern Full Moon had no objections. When they were sleeping that night, he saw what Yumi Hinata meant by cultivation.
After dinner, Mangetsu Hozuki returned to his room. Suddenly, he felt a violent fluctuation of water from next door. He quickly released the blunt sword from the scroll – Kabuto, which can break all defenses. With one strike, he broke the wall. With the next strike, he broke the Water Prison Jutsu that trapped Yuumi.
Yumi Hinata was so scared that she thought that he had shed all pretense of cordiality and was going to kill her. She kicked the blunt knife, and both of them felt each other's enormous strength at the same time. Lantern Full Moon used the Grand Water Wrist Technique to temporarily strengthen his arm strength so that the knife didn't fall out of his hand. However, he still took three steps back and directly returned to his room. Yumi Hinata's foot on the ground exerted force and broke the floor, and her calf was stuck in the floor.
Yumi Hinata saw that he didn't continue to attack, so she wiped the water off her face and pushed her wet hair back. "What are you doing?"
Lantern Full Moon walked over with his knife. "Water Prison Technique …" He pointed at the water all over the floor. "Not an enemy attack?"
"You misunderstood," Yumi Hinata said weakly. "I'm cultivating. Didn't I say this during the day?" She squeezed the dripping water out of her hair. "The pressure in the water prison is great, and it can help with the cultivation of physical skills. There are so many people in the Water Nation who use Water Escape. Doesn't anyone practice this?"
Indeed, no one practiced this.
Lantern Full Moon was also good at Water Escape, and the Water Prison Technique was a compulsory part of his training. He had locked people in water prisons before, and had also fallen into other people's traps. The Water Prison Technique compressed a large amount of water into a sphere with Chakra, trapping the enemy inside. It was inconvenient to move in the water, and the pain caused by suffocation and high water pressure made it difficult for people to organize an effective resistance. Generally, it only took a few minutes to kill a person.
As for how much water could be compressed and how small it could be, it was generally determined by the amount of Chakra the caster had and the technique of using the Water Prison Technique.
Although Yumi Hinata was a Physical Skills Ninja, looking at the amount of water on the ground and the size of the water sphere just now, her Water Prison Technique was ranked among the top among all the ninjas who were good at Water Release that Lantern Full Moon knew. It was not difficult to imagine how much pressure she had to endure, and she even had to continue cultivating her physical skills under such pressure.
"But how do you breathe?" Lantern Full Moon asked.
"I don't breathe." Yumi Hinata said matter-of-factly, "I can also exercise my heart and lungs."
If she couldn't bear it, she could cancel the Water Prison Technique and start anew. She could also practice her Ninjutsu. Similar methods included using Earth Release Ninjutsu to create weights for herself, using Lightning Release Chakra to stimulate muscles to relieve fatigue and pain, and so on.
These were the methods she came up with when she was training with Guy and Kakashi. In order to reduce the training time and rest more, she could do anything.
Lantern Full Moon looked at her, and for the first time, an expression similar to eagerness appeared on his usually expressionless face.
"I understand." Lantern Full Moon said, "You're right, I really haven't practiced for a long time."
When did I say that? Yumi Hinata was about to ask him what he meant, but the hotel's proprietress had already rushed over in a state of madness. She had no choice but to take out money to deal with the proprietress. After paying for the room, she had already forgotten what she wanted to ask.
The Akatsuki had a stronghold in the Land of Hot Water, but the stronghold was in the style of a remote village, and it was very inconvenient to live there. After Yumi Hinata asked Lantern Full Moon's opinion — in fact, he almost never objected to anything, and seemed to be indifferent to everything — she decided to stay in the capital of the Land of Hot Water while waiting for the mission.
"Let's find a reliable hot spring hotel with a separate courtyard. Everything will be taken care of, and life will be more comfortable."
Lantern Full Moon looked at her with a somewhat strange expression. Of course, he still didn't have any opinion.
Shortly after stepping into the capital of the Land of Hot Water, Yumi Hinata suddenly stopped.
Lantern Full Moon looked at her questioningly.
