"Ten days.
Destroy the Land of Crows. "Payne's shadow said.
Yumi Hinata froze for a moment, directly destroy a country? It's a bit funny.
Although she hasn't even heard of the Land of Crows.
It's probably a small place.
But a country?
"This task is not suitable." Yumi Hinata subconsciously refused.
"Aren't my and Full Moon's abilities more suitable for sneaking, assassinating, stealing, and the like? Such a simple and crude job should be given to someone else. "
"Your combination is to undertake tasks according to the area, not the type of ability." Payne said.
"According to the information, you also used a large-scale wind release ninjutsu on the battlefield of the Third World War. The Land of Crows is an island on the sea north of the Waterfall Country.
The population is less than ten thousand, and there are almost no ninjas in the country. It's not a problem for you. "
"… I used it.
But the preparatory work is very troublesome, and I had a chance to use it at that time. "Yumi Hinata racked her brains to find a reason." It's better to call Sasori.
He's better at this kind of thing.
And … "
"Enough!" Payne's voice suddenly became stern. "The organization's task is necessary, and there's no room for bargaining. Especially you, Yumi Hinata."
Especially me? Especially someone like me whose life is in your hands and you don't realize it? Yumi Hinata's face couldn't help but become gloomy.
Fortunately, she was just a shadow now, and only a pair of white eyes would clearly appear in front of Payne.
She wouldn't give him any clues.
"Isn't our purpose peace?"
"This is the only way to achieve peace."
Payne said in a deep voice.
"Only when you deeply experience the pain caused by war will you understand the preciousness of peace."
Bullshit!
Yumi Hinata scolded. She knew that there was no room for negotiation in this matter, so she had to ask, "What is the purpose of the employer? What do you want? Do you want me to send you into exile or something else? "
"Our employer is the Country of Fushi," Payne said. "His minister analyzed the letters you stole from the Waterfall Kingdom a few days ago, and said that the Land of Crows is about to become a subsidiary of the Waterfall Kingdom. The Country of Fushi has been their enemy for generations, and they don't want to see this happen, so they used the power of their country to entrust us with the task of severing their enmity with the Land of Crows."
So that was the case. It had something to do with her. Hyuga Yumi asked, "What's the fundamental method?"
"Destroy all man-made structures in the Land of Crows with large-scale Ninjutsu and kill the people."
Yumi Hinata was shocked. "Are you joking?"
But at the same time that she asked the question with a face full of shock, her heart was incomparably clear that what she was worried about had happened. The time to make a choice had finally arrived. Just like how she had been thinking for a long time, if such a mission appeared, what should she do?
"Of course not." Payne was a little impatient. "As I said, there are almost no ninjas in that country, and no one can stop you. You can use all your Ninjutsu to your heart's content, as long as you pay attention to not let anyone escape from the sea."
"Wait …" Before Yumi Hinata could finish, Payne had unilaterally stopped the Genjutsu.
"What's wrong?" Lantern Full Moon asked her. "Is there a problem with this mission?"
"… No, there isn't." Yumi Hinata was silent for a moment and sighed. In fact, she had been thinking about what to do on this day, but she didn't know what she would choose until she was faced with this problem. Now, at this moment, she finally knew.
She sensed Hinata's position and made sure that he was far enough away from her room. "Payne wants us to destroy a place called the Land of Crows. The population is less than ten thousand, and the territory is a small island in the north of the Waterfall Kingdom."
"Destroy … to what extent do we have to go?" Lantern Full Moon pondered. "The water vapor on the sea is enough for me to use Water Release, but if we want to destroy, Fire Release or Wind Release are more suitable." He turned to Yumi Hinata. "I remember the intelligence about you mentioned that you have mastered a lot of Ninjutsu, but you rarely use them on the battlefield?"
"… I lack practice, and my speed is too slow. There's no practical value." Yumi Hinata said. "But this time, we can take it slow. They said we can finish it in ten days."
Lantern Full Moon nodded. "So when do we leave?"
"Don't worry, one day is enough to get to the Waterfall Kingdom at full speed. Before that, I have to ask Konoha to give me a child." Yumi Hinata stood up and shook her finger at him. "Wait a moment."
Lantern Full Moon suddenly jumped up and retreated quickly. He broke through the walls blocking his way with his back. He didn't know how many walls he broke through along the way, but he didn't stop until he reached the street outside.
Yumi Hinata also used Body Flicker to follow him and stopped in front of him. Facing Lantern Full Moon, who had summoned Explosive Blade – Spray in front of him, she felt a headache coming on. The blade wasn't too powerful, but it didn't require Chakra to trigger the explosion, so it had a surprising effect. "My Genjutsu isn't that bad, right? Or are you too sensitive?"
As the descendant of the second Mizukage, Lantern Full Moon was indeed better at using and resisting Genjutsu than Yumi Hinata imagined. His face was dark. "Why did you suddenly attack me?"
Yumi Hinata deliberately stalled for time to let the people on the street have a chance to evacuate. She kept a close eye on his Chakra to make sure he didn't have a chance to do anything. She took the opportunity to chat. "If you want to ask why, of course it's because you were sent to monitor me. Weren't you mentally prepared when you accepted Payne's mission?"
Lantern Full Moon was stunned. "Monitor you? Aren't you in charge of monitoring me? "
"In theory, we do monitor each other …" Yumi Hinata realized what he meant. "Wait, didn't you join because your people were controlled by the Akatsuki?"
Lantern Full Moon retorted. "You forced me to join, right?"
That was true.
However, Yumi Hinata originally thought that it was a show for her. After all, the Water Country was so isolated, but Payne was able to get the news at the beginning of Lantern Full Moon's defection. There must be a spy. And Lantern Full Moon was clearly said to have escaped with his people, but his people's whereabouts were unknown. No matter how she looked at it, he was very suspicious.
If what he said was true, then the spy must be someone else.
But this had nothing to do with her. Yumi Hinata curled her lips, and the wide vision of the Byakugan helped her confirm that the passers-by who could run away had run away. "It's me, but …"
She suddenly appeared behind Lantern Full Moon less than two meters away from him. When she first stayed in this hotel, she set up Thor Jutsu around the hotel. Each Jutsu was separated by several meters. When she fought around the hotel like this, she could choose the Jutsu closest to the enemy within her perception range. And a distance of two or three meters was almost non-existent for a Taijutsu Ninja.
Lantern Full Moon suddenly turned around and waved his sword to block her palm attack. He was about to launch the Water Iron Cannon with his right hand when he suddenly saw Yumi Hinata blocked by his sword. Her hand emitted a dazzling light of Thunder Chakra. He retracted his sword almost at the same time and retreated, once again distancing himself from her.
"You retreated very quickly." The Thunder Chakra in Yumi Hinata's hand flashed twice and then extinguished. "It seems that paralyzing your body with Raiton can also make you unable to use the Water Transformation Jutsu. I'm relieved."
Lantern Full Moon was silent and began to observe the escape route. But thinking about her Thor, he felt that even running away was not realistic.
Yumi Hinata crossed her sword fingers, and her four Shadow Clones fell around the two of them, forming an encirclement. At the same time, they formed hand seals. "Raiton: Thunder Net."
The four Shadow Clones formed hand seals at the same time, greatly making up for Yumi Hinata's shortcoming: learning Ninjutsu too fast, and after learning it, she naturally neglected to practice it. Whether it was power or speed, there were problems. Of course, this problem was relative to those Ninjutsu Masters. For ordinary ninjas, learning and using it was already a great success.
At the moment when the dazzling net of Raiton covered the area, Yumi Hinata, who was fighting with Lantern Full Moon and restricting his position, instantly activated Thor and appeared behind one of the Shadow Clones. Lantern Full Moon, who was left in place, in order to prevent himself from being trapped by his own Katana, had to throw out the Katana in his hand, and then his whole body was submerged in the lightning.
After a moment, the light faded, revealing a charred ground. Yumi Hinata picked up the Katana, walked over and gently kicked the human figure on the ground. "Hey, Full Moon, can you still move?"
Lantern Full Moon, whose whole body was still paralyzed, weakly opened his eyes to look at her, and then closed them again.
This was the power of the Thunder Net Jutsu. Although the lethality was not very high, it would continue to release Thunder Chakra in the body of the target hit, and the duration depended on the caster's Chakra and control.
With Yumi Hinata's ability, Lantern Full Moon would have to maintain this state for at least half an hour.
"I'm sorry." Yumi Hinata held the Katana in one hand and Lantern Full Moon in the other. "Although you said that you were not ordered to monitor me, I still find it hard to believe you, so I had to make the first move."
She walked to the wall of the hotel where Lantern Full Moon made a big hole and raised her voice. "Hinata, come here."
After a moment, Hinata Yasuji came out from behind the wall in surprise.
"Why did you suddenly …" He looked at the person in Yumi Hinata's hand. "Is the Full Moon an enemy?"
"I don't know if he is," Yumi Hinata said briefly. "Did Jiraiya -sama leave you any contact information?"
Hinata Yasuji shook his head. "No."
Then he shouldn't have gone far, right? Yumi Hinata thought. He looked like a decent person, so he wouldn't just leave the child he brought here alone. I'm a rebellious ninja who committed murder and arson.
Although the range of her perception with X-ray vision was two kilometers, if she was tracking a known and powerful Chakra, the range could be expanded dozens of times. Yumi Hinata condensed Chakra around her eyes, and with the enhancement of her Byakugan's perception ability, she gradually expanded the range of her search from near to far.
After a moment, she opened her eyes. There really wasn't anyone? That's not right. She carefully sensed the nearby creatures again, and this time she quickly locked on to a suspicious one — a frog? Oh right, it should be a toad. Jiraiya's psychic beast was a toad.
"Follow me closely." Yumi Hinata reminded Hinata. She carried Lantern Full Moon and Burst Blade back to the room and put them on the ground. She was also a little troubled, not knowing what to do with her former partner.
She definitely couldn't let him have a chance to inform Akatsuki. Killing him was the simplest way. But Yumi Hinata reached out and grabbed his neck. Lightning was still raging in his body. Now he couldn't be hydrated and was covered with bruises. He could be said to be very fragile. She could crush his throat with a little force, but Yumi Hinata's fingers moved twice, but she couldn't do it.
If he died just now, then everything would be over. But he didn't die. Now the feeling of killing him was different.
This person wasn't a simple vague symbol that represented an enemy. Through several months of getting along and talking from time to time, she knew that he only had a younger brother in his family. He became a Genin at nine years old, and he didn't eat anything good when he was young. So now when he took something from her, he didn't have any vigilance. He was very cold and expressionless all day, but it was very likely that he was just expressionless. After all, if he didn't specially come to monitor her, then he really didn't have any temper these few months.
The name 'Ghost Lantern Manyue' represented a person, a person who was alive and had all sorts of emotions.
Lantern Full Moon's posture at this time could be said to be stretching out his neck to be killed. But the humanoid weapon's hand was on his neck for half a minute, and he still didn't die. And it seemed that she was still distracted?
He gathered his strength for a long time, and suddenly asked her, "Since you already suspected me, why did you do it today? Did this task make you decide to betray Akatsuki?"
Yumi Hinata didn't answer his question. "It doesn't matter if I betrayed you. I've never been loyal to you."
Lantern Full Moon asked again, "Do you still want to kill me?"
Yumi Hinata clicked her tongue and waved her hand in annoyance. "Forget it." After saying that, she activated Byakugan and tapped Lantern Full Moon dozens of times. "I've sealed your acupuncture points, so you can't use Chakra. If I'm still alive after a month, I'll go back to the Land of Hot Water to find you to remove the seal. If I'm dead, this effect will gradually disappear after about half a year. You have to be careful during this time. I advise you not to report back to Akatsuki and ask them to help you. I assure you that my method is very special. Even if you go to the five major countries, there won't be many who can help you. Also, the people of Akatsuki don't seem that trustworthy, right? "
Lantern Full Moon said, "What if I'm really the one who's responsible for monitoring you?"
Yumi Hinata made an indecent gesture at him. "Then I'll consider myself unlucky. When I survive, I'll kill you at all costs."
Lantern Full Moon leaned against the wall in a relaxed manner, smiled a little, and said softly, "You're really a strange person."
Yumi Hinata didn't look at him anymore. She grabbed Hinata next to her and held her under her ribs, then went to look for the toad with a suspicious aura.
As she expected, the toad was Jiraiya's summon beast. Probably he had told her in advance. When Yumi Hinata asked to see him, the toad happily used the reverse summon technique to summon Jiraiya.
When Jiraiya appeared, his face was red, his eyes were hazy, and his whole body reeked of alcohol. He looked at the miserable street and the hotel. At this time, the street should be very lively, but at this time, there was no one, and no corpse. "Aiya, what's going on?"
"Follow me."
Yumi Hinata reached out to Jiraiya. Jiraiya reflexively raised his hand to block, but then he reacted and put it down again. "You want to use Thor?"
"Yes." Yumi Hinata pressed on his shoulder, and in the blink of an eye, the two had arrived at an empty hillside outside the city. Jiraiya blinked his eyes and said with nostalgia, "This feeling is really long-lost."
"Then what's the matter?"
Yumi Hinata put Hinata beside her, and her hands formed a seal. "Water Release: Water Prison Jutsu Modified."
A stream of water rose from under the three people's feet and circled around them until it finally became a hollow water ball. The water filled with Chakra isolated them in a closed space, and even the ground under their feet was separated by the water.
However, this was still better than nothing. If she was really so unlucky, he was really spying on her before, then this kind of anti-eavesdropping method would be meaningless. But since she was not killed by the Annihilation Curse when she attacked him, then he was probably busy with other things.
"I did join a rebellious ninja organization." Yumi Hinata said straightforwardly. At the same time, she pressed her hand on Hinata's head and used Chakra to seal his hearing.
"This organization is called Akatsuki, and one of them has an extraordinary hiding ability. Even I can't perceive his Chakra, and he can also control the 'Caged Bird'."
Jiraiya was stunned, and the drunkenness on his face completely disappeared, and his eyes were as bright as stars. "So now you are …"
Yumi Hinata interrupted him, "But he is not the mastermind of this organization. The person behind the scenes is called Uchiha Zetsu, my classmate in the Ninja Academy, and the disciple of Yondaime Hokage who died in battle."
Ignoring Jiraiya's shocked expression, Yumi Hinata told him everything she knew, and focused on the ultimate goal of the Akatsuki. Finally, she concluded, "I don't know how Uchiha Zetsu intends to achieve this plan, and it is very likely that it will not be realized at all. This is not something that can be done by humans. But for this purpose, he will definitely do many other things, such as taking in a rebellious ninja like me … "She wanted to say something else that Konoha would absolutely not tolerate, but in the end, she couldn't think of anything. As long as they didn't provoke Konoha, accepting a war commission from a small country was not a problem for the higher-ups, and there was no reason to oppose them. "… Something like that."
Jiraiya said in a low voice, "Then why did you suddenly risk your life to tell me this? That person called 'Zetsu' can use the 'Caged Bird', can't he?"
"In order to seek cooperation, I killed Zetsu." Yumi Hinata said frankly, "I betrayed Konoha so that no one can use the 'Caged Bird' to control me, not to change masters."
"Have you made any progress in your research?"
"No, almost none." Yumi Hinata touched the top of Hinata's smooth hair. The child couldn't hear anything, but she still forced herself to be calm and stood obediently.
"I've tried Chakra of all attributes, but it can't dissolve the curse." She was looking for a reverse technique according to the method of engraving the 'Caged Bird' curse, which was to experiment one by one to form the characters of the technique, to see which one could resonate with the 'Caged Bird'. "In short, it's a long-term project."
She saw Jiraiya's confused gaze, and the corner of her mouth hooked up without a smile, "Of course, for now, I'll just continue my experiment perfunctorily. The best plan is to wait until the 'Caged Bird' is removed, and that's what I originally planned. But earlier today, Payne gave me a new task. If this task is completed, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep in the future. There's no other way, I can only take the risk. "
Jiraiya asked, "What task?"
"Destroy a country." Yumi Hinata waved her hand, "Don't worry about it, I'm not going to do it anyway. My partner has been injured and imprisoned by me. In the best case, Uchiha Zetsu and Zetsu will only find out about it when the task is not completed."
As for whether Payne would assign someone else to complete this task, Yumi Hinata really couldn't care so much. If she was lucky and got rid of Zetsu, then she would go and get rid of the client of this task. Without the client, no one would pay, and the money-oriented Akatsuki would naturally give up on this task.
If she was unlucky and died in Zetsu's hands, then she couldn't care less.
In the end, the reason why she didn't destroy a country was more to maintain the balance of her heart than to care for the people of a small country far away. If she had the ability, she could help, but if she didn't, then everyone would die together.
Uchiha Zetsu was still alive, and he had become the leader of a very powerful ninja organization, and his strength had soared, his eyes were suspected to be the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan, and he had a goal that sounded both far-fetched and nonsensical.
This series of news made Jiraiya dizzy, but after all, he had been through a lot. After a while, he calmed down and grasped the main point, "What do you want me to do for you?"
"You don't want to help me," Yumi Hinata pretended to be surprised and asked, "Doesn't Konoha need to clean up the family?"
Jiraiya pointed at her, meaning that she also belonged to the family that should be cleaned up, but she hadn't done it yet. The reason was simple, wasn't it? It couldn't be cleaned up.
According to her, Uchiha Zetsu, who used to be last place, now had a very strange ability that allowed attacks to pass through his body. This alone was troublesome enough, and it was likely that in the end, he would end up like Yumi Hinata, unable to be caught or killed.
And although the purpose of the Akatsuki sounded very evil, they really hadn't done anything big so far. Jiraiya felt that he couldn't just listen to Yumi Hinata's side of the story. He also had to verify it before deciding whether to report it to Sensei, or simply do it himself.
Sure enough, it wouldn't work. The Akatsuki was at most an illegal international mercenary organization with an anti-social purpose, and it wasn't worth the huge cost of eliminating it. And now she couldn't even prove that what she said was true. Maybe in Jiraiya's eyes, even if they were both rebellious ninjas, his cute grand-disciple Uchiha Zetsu was more trustworthy than Yumi Hinata, a stranger.
Yumi Hinata sighed and didn't force it. After all, when it came to finding comrades, one had to be trustworthy. Forcefully picked melons not only weren't sweet, but could also be poisonous.
"How about this, Jiraiya -sama. I'll provide all the information I know, and as a reward, if I can kill Zetsu this time, I hope to obtain all the information about the sealing techniques in Konoha. After all, sealing techniques are composed of techniques and formations, which will be helpful for my research on the 'Caged Bird'."
The Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques were indeed unparalleled in the world. Since the destruction of the country of Uzumaki, Konoha, which had kept Mito's inheritance, was the village that was best at sealing techniques. Jiraiya shook his head. "I can't make the decision. If you trust me, you can give me the information first, and I'll pass on your request to the Hokage. This matter can only be decided by him."
Yumi Hinata thought about it. Even if he didn't agree, was she supposed to take the information to the Yellow Springs? It was better to give it to Konoha. If she died, at least she could disgust the culprit. If she killed Zetsu and was fine, then her need to unlock the 'Caged Bird' wouldn't be so urgent. She could take her time, and naturally, she wouldn't have such a great need for sealing techniques.
"Okay, I believe in Jiraiya -sama's trustworthiness." Yumi Hinata smiled slightly. "The leader on the surface is called Payne, and he has a pair of legendary eyes …"
With Yumi Hinata's description, Jiraiya confirmed her judgment. Although he hadn't seen the technique that could push away all objects, judging from the shape, it was indeed the same as Nagato's Rinnegan.
He just didn't know if another person with those eyes appeared, or if the eyes were used after Nagato's death.
Jiraiya's heart became heavier and heavier. He had to go to the Land of Rain personally to investigate. But before leaving, Yumi Hinata pushed Hinata in his direction. "You can take Hinata back to Konoha first. If we meet again next time, please change the child for me. He has reached his limit."
When she said this, Hinata could already hear her and quickly looked back at her. Yumi Hinata glanced at him. "Don't worry, if I can unlock the 'Caged Bird', you will be rewarded."
Hinata Yasuji didn't know what exactly happened, but when he saw her injure Lantern Full Moon, he knew that things had changed. Now that he was returned to Jiraiya, she was most likely going to do something dangerous.
Although the head of the branch family and his father's student always looked impatient and had a sharp tongue, her behavior wasn't the same. His father's early death and the burden of being the head of the branch family made Hinata Yasuji grow out of his childhood and understand what was called the fickleness of the world. He now understood that people should be judged by their actions and not by their words.
In his judgment, Yumi Hinata was a better person than anyone he had ever met.
"Please take care." Hinata Yasuji bowed to her respectfully. "I look forward to seeing you again, Yumi -sama."
Yumi Hinata looked at him. For the first time in the years since Diurnal Difference's death, she let go of her hatred and disdain for him and really looked at this Diurnal Difference's orphan.
This was a cute face that could be predicted to occupy the top of the Hyuga family's face. It was hard to imagine that the old-fashioned and serious Diurnal Difference could give birth to a child like this. "I also hope to see you again. Work hard, Hinata. You have to become stronger, stronger than Hinata, Fireworks, and stronger than anyone in the Hyuga family. Only strength can allow you to break free from your cage and change your fate."
"You really are like your father. The look in your eyes is very similar." She smiled. "In the end, Diurnal Difference -sensei died because he wasn't strong enough. If I died, it would probably be the same reason. Just don't learn from us."
After parting ways with Jiraiya and Hinata, Yumi Hinata found a deserted wasteland in the Land of Hot Water alone. In this country with abundant water resources and hot springs everywhere, such a place was not easy to find. There were no springs, no forests, and only sparse weeds and pebbles as far as the eye could see.
Yumi Hinata touched the ground with her fingertips and sensed the remnants of Chakra's large-scale Fire Release and Thunder Release … It was at least ten years old. It seemed that this was the battlefield of the fierce battle in the early days of the Third World War. Even after ten years, the scars left on the ground from the battle had not healed. She could almost see the scene of thousands of people unleashing fire and thunder, and corpses strewn across the ground.
"I'm sorry," Yumi Hinata patted the exposed ground. "I'm afraid I'll cause you a lot of trouble in a few days."
Thor, explosive charms, detection enchantments, Yumi Hinata used all she had learned in her life on this land. But in the end, this was a gamble with her life.
If Jiraiya was satisfied with her disobedience and gave up the idea of using her, they would use the "Caged Bird" to kill her. She would have no power to resist, and all her arrangements would be too late to work.
She was betting that they — Jiraiya and Uchiha Zetsu — didn't intend to completely give up on her. They just wanted to teach her a lesson, let her understand her identity and situation, and then obediently go back with them.
Yumi Hinata judged that the second possibility was more likely, and the basis for this judgment was that from what she saw, the other people in the Akatsuki were not her opponents, but they were several times more unruly than her. The weaknesses of Scorpion and Cape Town were mysterious to others, but in her eyes, they were clear. Pipa Shizang and Xiaonan were not her opponents. Only Payne's pair of Rinnegan was unfathomable, suspected to be able to restrain the body arts.
If controlled well, she would become a sharp weapon in Uchiha Zetsu's hands to defeat the enemy.
She had been very cooperative and docile before, would Uchiha Zetsu take her life because of her resistance this time?
Yumi Hinata bet not.
On the fifth day after everything was arranged, Uchiha Zetsu came alone.
He was still wearing the red robe of the Akatsuki, wearing a ridiculous mask, and his voice was hoarse and terrible. "I didn't expect you to have the courage to betray me."
"No." Yumi Hinata sat on the only big stone in the empty wasteland. She had been sitting here waiting for Zetsu for the past few days.
"Today, I still agree with your idea and Infinite Tsukuyomi's plan, but I can't agree with the way you achieve your goal. There are many ways to make money. Why do you have to use such a crazy method?"
Isn't it natural for ninjas to make money by doing tasks? Is this crazy? The one who wants to destroy the country is the Daimyo, not him. Even if the Akatsuki doesn't take this task, there will naturally be other rebellious ninjas who will take it. At most, they will ask for a high price, and the Daimyo will save a few more years. Uchiha Zetsu was confused. "Just because of this? You should have never been to the Land of Crows, right? Is there someone important in the Land of Crows? That's a pity. Because of your sudden betrayal, Payne had to let Sasori and Pipa Shizang do this task. You know Sasori's methods. I'm afraid there are no living people in the Land of Crows now. "
"It has nothing to do with me. I don't even know where the Land of Crows is." Yumi Hinata said calmly, "I just can't accept this."
Uchiha Zetsu felt that she was just unwilling to be controlled by the "Caged Bird" and was looking for an opportunity to challenge the authority. Although the "Caged Bird" can't be removed, there are no absolutes in the world. Yumi Hinata cooperated with Konoha to study the "Caged Bird" for some time. Did she have a breakthrough?
"You're too arrogant, Yumi." Uchiha Zetsu said, "It's time to teach you a lesson."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jue, who popped out from Yumi Hinata's blind spot, began to perform the hand seals to activate the "Caged Bird". Yumi Hinata, who was sitting on a big rock, also did the same. With the rock she was sitting on as the center, hundreds of explosive charms suddenly flew out of the grass in a radius of a few hundred meters and flew towards everything that protruded from the ground.
In an instant, Jue's upper body, which was exposed from the ground, was wrapped tightly by the explosive charms. Yumi Hinata was the main target of the explosive charms. Uchiha Zetsu was the only one who noticed that something was wrong. The explosive charms passed through his body and flew towards Jue and Yumi Hinata.
Before Jue sank into the ground again, Yumi Hinata whispered, "Explode!"
Amidst the roaring flames and loud noises, Uchiha Zetsu, who was in the virtual form, gritted his teeth fiercely. "Damn it, Shadow Clone!"
In a cave not far away, sitting in a barrier that could isolate all senses, Yumi Hinata felt the pain from the explosion of the Shadow Clone. She screamed on the spot, only feeling a headache and nausea. After a while, she was able to stand up.
This was probably the biggest advantage and also the biggest disadvantage of the Shadow Clone Technique. Once the attack was enough to injure her, the Shadow Clone would dispel it and transmit the feelings and memories back to the main body. In most cases, the injury would only last for a moment, and the pain transmitted back to the main body would only last for a moment. She would get used to it after enduring it for a while.
However, her suicidal attack just now had at least a hundred explosive charms stuck on her body. In an instant, they exploded at the same time, and hundreds of painful tactile sensations were transmitted back to her at the same time. The burning sensation that spread all over her body and the "caged bird" that focused on her head were two different kinds of pain.
Jue should be dead. Yumi Hinata thought, but she didn't dare to go forward with her main body. Byakugan had always been unable to sense Jue, so she sent another Shadow Clone over.
Yumi Hinata's doppelganger once again used Thor to teleport to the big rock with a good view. She looked at the part of the ground that was scorched black, and there was no distinction between black and white. Then, she looked at the grass that pierced through Uchiha Zetsu's feet. She couldn't help but sigh. "This ability is really useful. Most of the attacks are completely ineffective against you."
She pointed at Uchiha Zetsu. "Since Jue is dead, you're next."
