And Hyuga Suigetsu had participated in the tail of World War III,
After that, he had been on the front line of the Ninja Army,
He had always been the main force of combat, not the support of reconnaissance, which meant that his physical strength was higher and he could endure pain better.
The study of the caged bird was carried out in the brain,
He would really die if he didn't have a stronger skin.
Tahara City was north of Konoha,
It wasn't far away,
But because of the terrain, civilians had to take a detour from the west to get to Konoha,
It was much faster for ninjas to move in a straight line.
The next morning, Yumi Hinata sat in the most famous pavilion in Tahara City,
This was the agreed location of the named escort mission she entrusted,
Here, she could control the entire northwest part of the city.
As soon as Hyuga Suigetsu and his two companions appeared within her perception range, Yumi Hinata breathed a sigh of relief,
That's all right,
The 150,000 taels weren't spent in vain. She asked Lantern Full Moon, who was sitting next to her drinking tea, "Are you going back to the hotel to wait for me, or do you want to go together?"
Maybe he was too curious,
Maybe he was indeed responsible for surveillance as Yumi Hinata guessed,
Lantern Full Moon's face was cold, indicating that he really wanted to watch.
Then whatever,
Yumi Hinata didn't care about this. If the success of the experiment to unlock the "Caged Bird" was in sight,
Then she would definitely try her best to hide it from others,
But it wasn't even close yet,
Just watch and see,
Report to Payne about her repeated defeats as a cover.
Hyuga Suigetsu's two companions were far weaker than him,
As soon as they entered the door, they triggered the illusion trap set in advance,
And fell to the ground unconscious on the spot, and although Hyuga Suigetsu avoided the trap, he was pressed to the ground three seconds later.
Yumi Hinata twisted his arms and pressed them against his back. Her right knee pressed against the back of his neck. She could break his cervical vertebra with just a little bit of force. "Long time no see, Suigetsu." She greeted him in a rather friendly manner and even gave him pointers like how she used to do when she was the head of a branch family. "Your Revolving Heaven Strike is too slow. You'll be killed eight to ten times before you can form a defense. Next time, don't think about fighting first when you encounter such a thing. If you hesitate, you won't have the chance to defend yourself."
Half of Hyuga Suigetsu's face was pressed against the ground. Due to the pressure on the back of his neck, he couldn't even turn around. But even if he couldn't see the person, he could recognize who it was just by the voice. "Yasuji … Yumi!"
Yumi Hinata smiled and said, "Have some manners. You should call me Madam Yumi."
Hyuga Suigetsu's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. "You didn't deserve that title from the day you became a rebellious ninja!"
Hyuga Yumi raised her eyebrows in surprise, "That's strange, I didn't see you being so loyal to Hiashi-sama."
"It has nothing to do with the main family! But you betrayed the village! "
"What are you saying …" Yumi Hinata pretended to sigh. "Ever since I was five years old, I swore that I would definitely kill Tsunsuki-sama who carved the 'Caged Bird' on me. Later, I had no choice but to add Tsunsuki-sama to my list. Don't tell me that you've never thought of killing them?"
Hyuga Suigetsu fell silent.
"But the village definitely won't agree, no matter how strong I am, right?" Yumi Hinata let go of him and stood up. "So I can only do it myself. However, the village will definitely judge me for this matter. I might even be sentenced to ten or twenty years or something."
Yumi Hinata looked at Hyuga Suigetsu who was rubbing his arm as he stood up. "I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I be punished by others? Is it wrong for a person not to want to be a slave? Is it wrong for a slave to want to regain freedom? Since I can't find another way, I can only think of a way by myself. The village, or Hokage, or the advisors, they can't give us the most basic freedom like other ninjas, but they also bind us with the rules that bind all ninjas and require us to abide by them. In this way, there are only obligations and no rights. I'm also in a difficult position. "
Hyuga Suigetsu checked his two teammates' breathing and pulse Chakra. After confirming that they were only trapped in the Genjutsu and were not in danger, he turned to her. "So you've been planning to defect for more than ten years?"
Yumi Hinata corrected him. "No, it's about killing the two family heads. If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to be a defector."
Hyuga Suigetsu showed a very complicated expression. "Then you're really …" Very good at acting.
What was Yumi Hinata's image in the past?
When she quit the ninja sequence, Hyuga Suigetsu was only thirteen years old. He hadn't been a Chunin for long, and he didn't catch up with her on the battlefield. The rumors that he heard were that she was slow and didn't follow the rules when she went on missions, and often caused some inexplicable trouble. Her teammates Metke and I Don't Know The Secret were better. When the others heard that they wanted to cooperate with her team, they all had a "spare me" expression. Although she had never let her teammates die or get hurt because of her, it was inevitable that there would be all kinds of disputes. Later, she stopped going on missions because of this.
In short, words like "ruthless" and "killing people like flies" had nothing to do with her.
Within the Hyuga family, Yumi Hinata was one of the few who showed respect for the main family on her face. Of course, no matter what they thought, the branch family always had to maintain respect and obedience to the main family. However, Yumi Hinata was different.
She was strong, extremely strong.
She was so strong that she didn't seem like a branch family member. She was so strong that the other branch family members had extra expectations of her.
After she became the head of the branch family, one of her important duties was to give pointers to the backbone of the Hyuga family once a month. No matter whether the opponent was a Chunin or a Jounin, or how old or young they were, she always seemed to be at ease. It was as if the strength of these opponents made no difference to her.
This was an important method for the head of the branch family to win people's hearts. However, Hyuga Yumeili didn't seem to care. She always tried her best to limit the number of people who could stand in front of her. Hyuga Suigetsu received this quota two years ago after he was promoted to Tokubetsu Jonin. After just one practice session, he truly experienced how strong she was.
This was why he could understand the way the Radical Faction looked at her.
It was as if they were saying, "Look, what a strong dog she is." And "In the Hyuga family, no matter how strong you are, you can only be a dog."
Yumi Hinata's existence made Yasuji's branch family feel even more despair.
She used her personal performance to prove to everyone that working hard to become strong was meaningless.
Until that day, when the main family's early morning scream shattered everyone's impression of her. It also broke the "Caged Bird" that had bound the branch family for hundreds of years.
Hyuga Suigetsu touched his forehead. It was a forehead protector engraved with Konoha's symbol. Although it was still ugly, the "Caged Bird" was no longer binding him.
"No matter what," Hyuga Suigetsu said, "I have to thank you. But why did you ask me to come here? Do you hate Konoha? "
Yumi Hinata burst into laughter. "If I want to harm Konoha, what can you do to help? Suigetsu, although you have great potential, you're still not good enough for now."
That was true. Two months ago, she had beaten him up on the training ground. And just now, she had been knocked out three seconds after entering the room. Although there was an element of surprise, it was also enough to prove that she had gone easy on him during their previous practice sessions.
Hyuga Suigetsu was unmoved. "What's your purpose?"
"It's the 'Caged Bird'." Yumi Hinata said, "The reason why I killed the elders was because I was afraid that they would also know how to activate the 'Caged Bird'. But I didn't expect the main family to be so useless that the method had already been leaked."
"What?!" Hyuga Suigetsu was so shocked that his eyes were wide open. He subconsciously looked at Lantern Full Moon, who had been sitting quietly at the table.
Yumi Hinata waved her hand. "It has nothing to do with him. It's someone else."
She said half-truthfully, "Not long ago, someone suddenly asked me to assassinate someone for him. Of course, I refused. Then, the 'Caged Bird' was activated. Fortunately, I was cautious. He triggered other traps and gave me a chance to escape. Otherwise, I would have fallen into his hands."
"He's a bodyguard that I hired." Yumi Hinata said. Lantern Full Moon's acting was not good enough. Ordinary people could not see his cold aura, but in the eyes of ninjas, it was as obvious as a bright light in the dark. It was meaningless for him to pretend to be a civilian. "If that person appears again, he'll be responsible for taking me away when I'm unable to resist."
"But this is a temporary solution. And to be honest, the next time that person appears, it's more likely that he'll kill me directly. There's no chance for me to escape." Yumi Hinata smiled. "Suigetsu, I need your help. I want to try to unlock the 'Caged Bird'. If you agree, I'll try various methods on you and do a lot of research, including activating the 'Caged Bird'."
Hyuga Suigetsu's shoulders immediately tensed up. Then, he reacted and slowly relaxed. There was no point in being on guard. Yumi Hinata burned all the information about the 'Caged Bird' before she left, but she must have read it.
In other words … Hyuga Suigetsu suddenly realized that other than the person she mentioned, Yumi Hinata was the only person who controlled the 'Caged Bird' and the lives of everyone in the branch family. As long as she was willing, she could immediately become the new head of the main family!
But she didn't. She didn't even threaten anyone with this.
Even though Hyuga Suigetsu repeatedly told himself that the person in front of him was a traitor and that he had to be vigilant, at this moment, he couldn't help but believe her.
"But, why choose me?"
He was not the strongest, most talented, youngest, or oldest member of the Hyuga family branch family. He wasn't even the one who was most disgusted by the 'Caged Bird'. And he wasn't familiar with Yumi Hinata. No, she didn't seem to be familiar with anyone. She usually lived in seclusion. She didn't even go out unless it was an occasion where the head of the branch family had to attend.
"Um … because you're a little more dangerous."
Hyuga Suigetsu showed a puzzled expression.
"When that person left, she once said that strength makes people more unfortunate. Although I don't agree with this statement, it's obvious that a weak Yasuji has no value. People like me will be targeted as soon as I leave the village. " Yumi Hinata said in an old-fashioned manner, "Suigetsu, you're one of the most talented people in the younger generation, but you're also the most hardworking. In the future, you'll definitely become a stronger ninja than you are now. In other words, you're valuable to that person."
"The research I want to do is very dangerous. After all, it's carried out in the brain. You may die, and it will be very painful. But, you may also be able to truly break free from this shackle. You can choose for yourself. Do you want to take the risk with me, or suppress your strength from now on, or hide in Konoha and live in fear all day long to avoid any threats that may appear one day?"
Hyuga Suigetsu pondered for a moment. "Actually, I don't have a choice, right? Even if I don't agree, as long as you activate the 'Caged Bird,' I'll have no choice but to listen to you. "
Yumi Hinata raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Of course not. I hate it so much that I won't use it to threaten anyone. Suigetsu, I said that you can choose for yourself. If you don't want to take the risk, no problem. You can take your teammates and leave now. I can find others. I believe that there will be people who will be willing to cooperate with me. "
How tempting was it to unlock the 'Caged Bird'? It was very tempting, beyond imagination. People who hadn't lived under its shadow for more than ten years wouldn't be able to understand this feeling.
But was it so tempting that he was willing to risk his life, endure all the pain, and even abandon the home he had lived in for nearly twenty years?
If he was willing to continue to live with this Engraving, it was very likely that he would never meet the person who activated the 'Caged Bird' until his death. He would never have to experience that pain again.
Hyuga Sui experienced this kind of pain when she was ten years old. In addition to the physical pain, there was also the sense of despair and shame of having no power to fight back and the pain of begging for mercy.
Yumi Hinata looked at him from the window. Her eyes were indifferent and her expression was cold. For a moment, her expression was a bit like Hinata Hinata under the sunset.
Hyuga Suigetsu clenched his fists in his sleeves. "Then I'll leave it to you, Yumi -sama."
"Kirin's Anbu?"
Pipa Shizang corrected her. "To be precise, these guys are the Chasing Ninjas. They are responsible for hunting down and killing traitorous ninjas and disposing of their corpses."
"So they're here for you." Yumi Hinata lazily waved her hand. "Then you deal with it yourself."
One of the Chasing Ninjas looked at Yumi Hinata. "Konoha's traitorous ninja, Yumi Hinata, recognized as the strongest Byakugan. A month ago, she killed Hinata Hinata and defected."
"Pipa Shizang, after betraying Kirin, why did you follow this Konoha's traitorous ninja to the Land of Water?"
Pipa Shizang grinned, his sharp teeth shining in the light of the fire. "Of course I did it to repay the village's' care 'for me. As for this guy, you can ask her yourself."
Yumi Hinata said seriously. "I'm here to observe the landscape and culture of Kirin and see if it's suitable for retirement. After all, I've been retired for several years."
