"It's very big." Yumi Hinata thought for a moment.
She didn't tell him the specific direction of the experiment.
Instead, she said, "The key is that I will constantly activate the 'Caged Bird' during the experiment to determine the effect. It's very painful, and I don't know how long this pain will last.
Maybe a month or two, maybe three to five years.
Only this child will be continuously used by me.
He will go crazy from the torture of this hopeless prisoner. "
"You're right," Jiraiya said.
"So when you're sure that this child can't hold on,
You can send me a message, and I'll contact the Hyuga family to rotate. "
"Huh? Rotate what, the next child? "Yumi was a little crazy.
Just how much do these ninjas hate children?
"I don't want anyone under the age of sixteen, thank you. Give me Toku-Jounin!"
Jiraiya changed the topic and asked her, "Then when you succeed on others,
Will you deliberately help this child remove the 'Caged Bird'? "
"No, I won't."
I told you I don't have that much free time. "Yumi understood what he meant." You think I've deprived him of his right to resist fate.
But risking his life and physical and mental health,
Is something that only adults can do,
A seven-year-old, no,
All children under the age of ten,
Their brains haven't developed well. They can't judge how big the risk they're facing is, and they don't understand what death means. "
"So I judge on their behalf. Children have no right to come to me and risk their lives."
"Yumi -sama!" Hinata Yasuji, who was standing in the courtyard, heard the argument getting louder and louder. He couldn't help but kneel in the corridor to eavesdrop. When he heard this, he finally couldn't help but open the paper door.
"I can endure that kind of pain! I … "He lowered his head and took two deep breaths. When he looked up again, he was calm." Because I once had the intention to kill Hinata. Hinata -sama punished me. I know what it's like to be a 'Caged Bird.' "
Yumi Hinata raised her chin at him in an arrogant manner. "Hinata, I told you to stay outside."
Hinata Yasuji stared at her with a piercing gaze, the veins around his eyes almost popping out. "Please don't consider my feelings …"
"I'm not thinking about your feelings," Yumi Hinata interrupted him. "I'm thinking about my own feelings." She then turned to Jiraiya and said, "Lord Jiraiya, you must have misunderstood. I don't care about the health and future of these children. I just want to keep my promise."
Don't attack children, this is the line that Hyuga Yumi drew for herself, a baseline that allows her to maintain her sense of self in her ninja life.
Jiraiya sighed. The so-called agreement with oneself sometimes referred to the principles of self-cultivation. At this point, he admitted that he could not convince Yumi Hinata. He asked Hinata Yasuji, "Then will you come back to Konoha with me?"
Hinata Yasuji was silent for a moment, then shook his head as if he had made up his mind. "No, I have nothing but myself."
The so-called Konoha, the so-called Hyuga family, was no longer a place he wanted to return to. The existence of the ancestral family was both a restraint and a home. He hated it, but it was also the only family he had left.
He used to think that his destiny was to die protecting the ancestral family like his father, but suddenly, the entire ancestral family ceased to exist overnight. He was at a loss for a few months. For a moment, he felt that he should protect Hinata and Fireworks like a brother protecting his younger sister. Sometimes, he could not help but hate them. For a moment, he was grateful to Yumi Hinata for breaking the barriers, and sometimes he could not help but feel sad for the deaths of his uncle and grandfather.
Until his cousin Suigetsu, who had been taking care of him since his father's death, came to him and asked if he was willing to completely remove the curse on his forehead, and how much he was willing to pay for it — even if it was a curse that might never be activated by anyone.
It was only then that Hinata Yasuji found his new goal.
"Jiraiya -sama, please go back. I will stay here and continue to plead with Yumi -sama."
"If that's the case …"
Jiraiya turned to Yumi Hinata and pretended to ask. She frowned. "I said I won't bring the child. Take him away."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiraiya's figure turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared.
Damn it, a Shadow Clone. Yumi Hinata facepalmed. What was the use of the Byakugan other than seeing through things? How could it be listed as one of the three great Dojutsu? It could not even see through a Shadow Clone, and she had suffered so much for it.
Hinata Yasuji, who was forced to stay by Jiraiya, sat on the porch in shock. He did not notice when the "Jiraiya -sama" beside him was replaced by a Shadow Clone.
Yumi Hinata glanced at him. "Are you going back to Konoha by yourself?"
Hinata Yasuji quickly shook his head.
"It's useless to stay. I said you can't."
Hinata Yasuji said calmly. "It was Suigetsu -san who recommended me. He said that Hokage-sama will not send anyone else, and will not allow him to have long-term contact with you."
Yumi Hinata sneered. "It's not up to Sandaime-sama." She got up and left.
Hinata Yasuji took out his wallet and asked Lantern Full Moon, who had been there the whole time but had no sense of presence. "Hello, where should I check in?"
Lantern Full Moon had always followed the principle of two people traveling together and monitoring each other, but this time, Yumi Hinata left the hotel for nearly half an hour before he caught up with her again.
Yumi Hinata handed him a bag of roasted chestnuts. "Want some? Where did you go just now? "
"Take the child to the counter to check in." Lantern Full Moon took the bag and looked at it, then picked up a chestnut and tasted it.
"Eh? You really didn't leave? " Hyuga Yumi really didn't put the seven-year-old's determination in her eyes. Seven years old, he was in the second grade of elementary school. Who would take his words seriously? Even if she knew that ninja children in this world were terrifyingly precocious, she still subconsciously did not treat them as "people" who could make decisions independently.
She looked at Lantern Full Moon, who was still expressionless. "Why are you so close to this child?"
Lantern Full Moon kept peeling the chestnuts. "He's about the same age as my younger brother."
Yumi Hinata was stunned. Was he the younger brother who was said to have escaped from Kirin with him and was killed by him? Such a calm tone did not seem like it. She asked tentatively, "What kind of child is he?"
Lantern Full Moon thought for a moment. "It's said that he looks a lot like me when I was young, but his personality is completely opposite. He's not suitable to be a ninja."
Yumi Hinata could not help but be curious. "What kind of personality is completely opposite?"
"Impatient, loves to cry, and is very weak." Lantern Full Moon summed it up succinctly.
So in his heart, he was patient, never cried, and was very strong? Yumi Hinata pursed her lips. "Children are always like this when they're six or seven years old."
Lantern Full Moon looked at her in surprise. "How can that be? How can he be a ninja like that? "
"I think there's something wrong with Kirin's definition of a ninja …" Yumi Hinata muttered. Suddenly, she asked, "So your younger brother and your clansmen are still alive? You don't sound like you're talking about the dead. "
Lantern Full Moon froze, but Hyuga Yumeili did not seem to realize how abrupt her question was and continued walking forward. After a while, he caught up with her quickly and said softly, "Maybe."
It seemed that his clansmen were indeed being controlled to spy on her. Yumi Hinata thought about it and calmly reached out to him. "Where are the chestnuts? Have you finished eating? "
Lantern Full Moon was stunned for a moment, then handed the paper bag back to her. But Yumi Hinata was just trying to change the topic. She did not dare to eat food that had been cooked by her partner.
After the two of them finished eating, they returned to the hotel. Hinata Yasuji was still there, and he was there for the next two, three, four, five, and six days.
Even though he had paid for the room, perhaps because he was afraid that Yumi Hinata would leave without saying goodbye, he carried the bedding to her door every night to sleep. During the day, Yumi Hinata would study her ninjutsu in the room, and he would practice gentle boxing in the courtyard. He did not speak a word to anyone for the entire day.
He didn't plead with Hyuga Yuumi again, and actually looked like he was living peacefully.
Before Yumi Hinata went to bed every night, she wondered if she should grab him by the collar and throw him out. But every time she thought about it, she did not come up with an answer. She just muddled along for a few days. On the seventh day, Hinata Yasuji still did not make a move. She did not know how such a small child who only reached her waist could be so calm.
She was convinced. Yumi Hinata thought. She waved her hand. "Hinata, come here."
Hinata Yasuji stopped his morning training, wiped the sweat off his face, and bowed. He was still as polite as ever, as if he had never been put on hold for the past few days. "Yumi -sama."
Yumi Hinata smiled and raised her right hand to form a seal. Hinata Yasuji's eyes suddenly widened. He screamed and fell to the ground. He hugged his head with both hands, trembling and wailing. Then, he gradually calmed down. It was not until ten minutes later that he was able to get up from the ground. He stared at her with a pair of big eyes. His white pupils were completely bloodshot.
"Did I pass?" Hinata Yasuji gritted his teeth. "Yumi-sama!"
"I only used the spell for fifteen seconds." Yumi Hinata said lightly. "I told you before. You're too young and your brain is not fully developed. You won't be able to bear it."
Hinata Yasuji only asked, "Did I pass?"
Yumi Hinata cursed in her heart. She had no choice but to say, "Remember this feeling. This morning, I'll invade your head with Chakra. I'll test your brain and the state of the 'Caged Bird'. If it's as I predicted, we'll try using the Yin-type Chakra to erode the curse seal in the afternoon. These two steps will cycle for a week. After a week, if I feel that the curse seal shows signs of weakening, I'll use the 'Caged Bird' again. At that time, you'll have to report to me the degree of pain and the location of the curse seal. If you feel that there's no difference, this process will cycle for another two weeks. If there's still no effect after two weeks, we'll try the next plan. Any questions? "
Hinata Yasuji finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he had succeeded. "No."
In the end, there was nothing.
Five days later, at one o 'clock in the morning, Yumi Hinata heard the soft sound of Hinata tossing and turning on the other side of the room. She rolled her eyes helplessly, lifted the quilt, got up, and opened the paper door between the two rooms. "Insomnia or nightmares?"
Hinata Yasuji was startled by her sudden voice. When he came back to his senses, he pulled the quilt up in embarrassment, only revealing a pair of round eyes. He said softly, "I'm sorry to disturb you."
Yumi Hinata sighed. "Have you learned how to extract Chakra?" After receiving an affirmative answer, she said, "Since you can't sleep, come over. Tonight, I'll teach you how to use Chakra to soothe your nerves and help you sleep."
This was not an advanced technique, nor did it require exquisite control of Chakra. The technique required was much less than climbing trees and walking on water. With Yumi Hinata's assistance, after two nights, Hinata Yasuji could fall asleep within ten minutes of lying down.
But that was all there was to it.
The psychological and physical damage caused by extreme pain existed objectively, and the Immortal Palm Technique could not help much. Before the third week was over, Yumi Hinata was already considering whether to ask Konoha to replace Hinata — if not, she would have to extend Hinata's rest time and slow down the progress of the experiment.
However, before Yumi Hinata decided to write a letter, Payne assigned a new task to her and Lantern Full Moon.
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 weakness in his heart, while Yumi Hinata felt a little guilty that Hyuga Suigetsu had not made any progress after working with him for more than ten days.
When it was almost the turn of Suigetsu's teammates to be on night duty, Yumi Hinata looked away. "Go back. If I find a way, I'll let you know."
Hyuga Suigetsu was also speechless. He now understood the depression of those who had to work with Yumi Hinata in the past. You didn't know 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, now was not the time of World War III. Children nowadays were definitely different from before, but children in the Hyuga family had always matured early. There were many who became ninjas at the age of ten.
"You …" Sui wanted to say something, but he had nothing to say. No one had been able to change Yumi's mind for so many years. Even being a Rebelling Ninja couldn't change her mind. 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, the guilt in his heart towards the village seemed to lessen a little.
"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 an experimental subject. I have already stepped into this muddy water, so I will do my best."
Yumi Hinata didn't mind. "Even if you want to tell 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 Hokage, called 'Root'. He is very unscrupulous and has been wanting to use a Byakugan as an experimental subject for a long time … "
"Wait!" Hyuga Suigetsu interrupted her in disbelief. "Human experiments?! And 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. Three years ago, Danzō tried to do something to me, but he didn't succeed. "
"Then why didn't you report it to Sandaime-sama?!"
"Because I was afraid." Yumi Hinata laughed, but there was no fear on her face. "If Danzō told Sandaime-sama that this is for the overall benefit of Konoha, and that he won't kill me, but will make me suffer and sacrifice my happiness for all of Konoha, what do you think Sandaime-sama would do? You are Sandaime-sama, what would you do? " She looked at Hyuga Suigetsu's expression 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 seriously. "Suigetsu, I said that I don't mind if you report this to anyone, but there are two things you need to consider. First, my ability is not something you can estimate, and your report will be biased. If Sandaime-sama decides to send people to kill me, no matter how many people he sends, I'm afraid the loss will be on your head. Second, if Sandaime-sama finds out that there is another person other than me who knows the 'Caged Bird' curse, will he 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 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 exchanged glances with Lantern Full Moon, who was walking on the other side. This was Payne's signal to contact her. She was afraid that there was a new mission.
"Well, ninja sama," Hyuga Yumi stopped, "Let's stop here. My brother and I want to stroll around here. Anyway, no ninja will come to rob us in the Land of Hot Water."
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 if we don't reach Quanshan Street. Miss Hyuga, if you hurry up, we'll be there by noon. You can walk around as you like. "
Hyuga Suigetsu ignored them and silently looked at Yumi Hinata's waist and Lantern Full Moon's sleeves, where they put their rings.
He kept staring like this, and Lantern Full Moon was very impatient.
He's really sharp. No wonder he's one of the most promising youths in the Hyuga family. Yumi Hinata smiled and rushed over, pulling Hyuga Suigetsu's sleeves coquettishly. "Ninja-sama, it's really okay. My brother and I are enough. 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 mission was completed. Yumi Hinata waved goodbye to the ninja sama who had escorted them all the way. Lantern Full Moon had already teleported away to find a hidden place to use the Phantom Body Jutsu.
