Yumi Hinata had thought that Lantern Full Moon was someone sent by Uchiha Zetsu to spy on her.
She had never hidden her purpose, so Lantern Full Moon understood after thinking about it for a while.
"That Byakugan and this of yours,"
He reached out his finger and tapped Yumi Hinata's forehead across the air,
"Caged Bird,
Does it matter? "
For Yumi Hinata,
Her friendship with Lantern Full Moon was not enough for her to trust him completely.
But no matter what, he saved her and planned to continue protecting her,
Regardless of whether it was to return the favor or not, she could not let him get hurt because he helped her. If he did not care, of course, it did not matter. After all, he was already a traitor.
He might not have any feelings for his hometown and the people in his hometown. But she had to make this matter clear first, and she was sure that no matter what decision Lantern Full Moon made,
She had enough ability to bear the consequences.
Besides, he already knew enough.
"In fact,
I joined the Akatsuki because Zetsu mastered the method to control the Caged Bird. You have seen what I did to Hyuga Suigetsu and Hinata Yasuji. That is one of the functions of the Caged Bird, but not all. As long as I want, I can make them die silently in an instant. Of course, as long as Zetsu is willing,
I am the same. "
Yumi Hinata took off the Konoha forehead protector on her forehead and gently stroked the mark of the Caged Bird.
"In the brains of all the branches of the Hyuga family, this is in the brain.
This is the weapon that the main family uses to control the branches.
It is also the way the Hyuga family protects the kekkei genkai. Under the control of the Caged Bird, the Byakugan of the branch family will be automatically destroyed the moment it is dug out, and to control the Caged Bird, one must use the power of the Byakugan. "
"So if outsiders want to control the Caged Bird, even if they have a way, they need a Byakugan. Zetsu must have had one before, but since I am still alive now, it was probably destroyed this time. Among all the Supercilious Eyes I know that he might have obtained, the most likely one is the one in the Water Country. I will destroy it at all costs. "
"… If I remember correctly, it's rumored that you killed the two heads of the Hyuga family before you became a traitor?" Lantern Full Moon asked. "Is it because they can control the Caged Bird?"
"That's right." Yumi Hinata said, "I will kill whoever has this curse technique. No one has the right to stand on my head."
Lantern Full Moon nodded. "Yes, so even if you don't go to the Water Nation, you will definitely go."
"Yes, I have to get ahead of him." Yumi Hinata poked at the bandages all over her body gloomily. "Now it's a competition to see who can recover faster."
"I know who you're talking about." Lantern Full Moon had a nostalgic expression. "He's … not a bad person. He's my senpai. Even if he has left the Water Nation, I don't want anything to happen to him."
Yumi Hinata nodded. "Understood."
"I will continue to protect you until you recover, but I can't go to the Water Nation with you."
Yumi Hinata understood. "Of course."
"After you recover, I will send a message to him and have him avoid you — you and Zetsu."
This made Yumi Hinata hesitate for a moment, but she finally nodded. "Okay, I don't have to take back the Byakugan. If he can hide in a place where I can't find him, it will be difficult to find him. If I can find him, then I will definitely take action. But are you sure that your senpai will listen to your advice and not capture a traitor like you?"
Lantern Full Moon, who had always been calm, couldn't help but smile wryly. "I'm not sure."
So you're actually not that familiar with him? You're willing to take such a big risk to give a warning. Yumi Hinata couldn't help but sigh. "Although you're also a traitor, your feelings for Kirin are really deep."
"No, it has nothing to do with feelings." Lantern Full Moon looked down at his fingers. "It has nothing to do with Kirin. I just want to do what I should do. But what exactly is what I should do, I still don't understand."
Yumi Hinata showed a doubtful expression and motioned him to continue.
But Lantern Full Moon shook his head and didn't continue.
Ever since he became a ninja at the age of nine, or even before that, he began to feel confused about this world.
Everyone said that he was a natural ninja, the only one who could inherit the glory of the second Mizukage, and revive the Hozuki Clan. He should become a powerful ninja, kill enemies for Kirin on the battlefield, establish the prestige of the Hozuki Clan, and do all of this in a more secretive way when there was no war. He was born to be this way.
But is there really anything that should be taken for granted, so much so that it becomes human nature? If there is, should this nature be done by taking the lives of others?
This has occupied most of his life, so much so that he is accustomed to it, is it really what he needs and really wants to do?
As he grew older, when he became a real ninja, the number of people who had expectations for him became fewer and fewer. Some of them died on the battlefield, and some died in the prison of the Mist Village. They died under all kinds of crimes.
The confusion in Hozuki Gengetsu's heart grew stronger and stronger. Should he protect Kirin, or should he protect his clansmen?
Why? Because Kirin is the place where he grew up? Or was it because they were from the same clan, or because they had the same surname?
Even if he doesn't agree with the village's decision? Even if he is not familiar with the people with the same surname?
When these two conflicts, which one should he choose?
Before he made up his mind to leave with the remaining clansmen, his younger brother Shui Yue sensed his confusion. That seven-year-old child had a sharpness beyond that of ordinary people and a naivety bordering on cruelty. "Just choose whoever you want. Making yourself happy is more important than making others happy."
The little child lay on his knees and asked, "Brother, do you want to choose the village or the Hozuki?"
He didn't want to choose either. Lantern Full Moon thought that no matter which one he protected, it would not make him happier, nor would it make him sadder. If he could, the one he wanted to protect the most was his little friend who was killed by him when he was nine years old.
At the moment when he made the choice, Lantern Full Moon realized that Kirin meant nothing to him, and the glory of the Hozuki clan was worthless.
On the third day after that, he left with his younger brother and the other clansmen who were willing to follow him.
Qing, who had the Byakugan, was the one with the strongest perception in Kirin. He was the first one to find him, but when they met face to face, Qing turned around and left.
"Don't let yourself become the last Hozuki," Qing said before he left. "I also grew up listening to the stories of the Second Hozuki."
After that, Lantern Full Moon settled his younger brother and his clansmen in a remote village isolated from the rest of the world. Alone, he lured away a group of people from Mount Watermelon who were chasing after him. Then, he met Yumi Hinata.
A real "person" who clearly knew what she wanted and worked hard to achieve it all the time.
In order to speed up the healing of her wounds, Yumi Hinata treated herself with the Palm Immortal Technique on a daily basis. On the third day, when she went to the hospital to change her dressing, she could already walk normally. However, once she exerted force, she still felt a piercing pain.
The hospital was not far from the hotel. Not long after they left the hospital, Yumi Hinata stopped. Lantern Full Moon asked, "What's wrong?"
"Jiraiya is in my room."
Normally, a rebellious Konoha like her should avoid Konoha's people when she was injured and unable to protect herself, especially when this person was Jiraiya the Toad Immortal. Even if she was in perfect condition, it would be difficult for her to win against him head-on. However, Jiraiya did not look like a person who would be so enthusiastic about capturing rebellious ninjas. Yumi Hinata hesitated for a moment and decided to meet him.
She squatted down with Lantern Full Moon's help, stretched out her hand and pressed on the road to make the Thor Mark. She told him, "If we fight later, you must stand next to me. I'll take you with me."
Lantern Full Moon thought for a moment and stretched out his hand to her. "Put the Thor Mark on my wristband. If we separate, you can come to me directly."
Hyuga Yumi was a little surprised. The Flying Thunder God Mark on the hands of Second and Yondaime Hokage has long been called the "Mark of the Death God". Once touched, you can't escape. When your life will be reaped depends on your mood. Although it's just a mark on the wrist guard, it's useless to replace it, but even so, Mangetsu's trust in her surprised her.
"This way, I can teleport to your side at any time. It will be difficult for you to guard against me." Yumi Hinata emphasized, almost strangling his neck to remind him: "Can't you be more vigilant? You want to go to the Mist Village to inform them? " You will definitely be betrayed! "
"It's okay, it's just a wristband." Lantern Full Moon seemed to have already thought about it. "You can change it when you don't need it."
Alright, since he had said so, then. Yumi Hinata touched his wristband and left her modified Thor Mark: a pine tree as big as a fingernail.
Lantern Full Moon looked at it. "Yasuji's emblem?"
Yumi Hinata couldn't help but make a vomiting face. "No, it's just a meaningless pattern." Because Thor's mark was permanent and couldn't be removed, Yumi Hinata hoped that it could carry enough spatial coordinate information and be simple enough to not attract attention.
Jiraiya, who broke into other people's room without permission, was very comfortable. He was playing cards with a mini ape and a pug. When he saw Yumi Hinata, he was very happy to greet her. "Yo, Yumi, we meet again."
Yumi Hinata was very unhappy. "Jiraiya -sama, I thought you said you were going to the Land of Rain to investigate? How's the progress? "
Jiraiya smiled. "I'll send little Hinata back to Konoha first. Then I'll bring you the promised reward."
Reward? Right, she said before that she wanted to exchange information on Konoha's sealing technique for information on the Akatsuki. Yumi Hinata noticed that Jiraiya, who usually carried a huge scroll on his back, was carrying three huge scrolls this time.
"Then how did you find this place?"
Jiraiya scratched his head. "How should I put it … Because the Land of Hot Springs has unique scenery and many hot springs, it's the place I'm most familiar with, so I'm more informed."
The main point was the "many hot springs" part.
Yumi Hinata finally remembered their unpleasant first meeting. She associated this powerful ninja with a pervert who peeped at women's soup. She restrained herself from showing a look of contempt. "Is that the reward?"
"That's right." Jiraiya took a huge scroll from his back and unfolded it on the ground. "This is it. I'll have to trouble you, Gohan -sama."
"Wait!" Yumi Hinata saw the numerous techniques on the scroll and the large "Human" character in the middle. She immediately stopped the monkey that was about to jump on the scroll. "Jiraiya -sama, this isn't sealing technique information, this is a reverse summoning scroll! Who do you want to summon? "
"The sealing technique information of the Uzumaki Clan is now only kept by Konoha. Even Hokage can't make the decision to give it to others. But if you have any questions, you can ask a knowledgeable person. " Jiraiya stood on the edge of the opened scroll, looking indifferent and letting Yumi Hinata make the decision. Only his smile revealed a hint of slyness. "Who do you think is the most knowledgeable person in Konoha right now?"
It's the Third Hokage, Sarutobi, who is known as the "Ninjutsu Professor". By the way, his summoning beast is the monkey clan. Presumably, this monkey is also the Third Hokage's summoning beast.
Yumi Hinata's mood was a little complicated. "The Hokage can't leave Konoha, right?"
"So you have to hurry up. After an hour, they will use reverse summoning to summon the Hokage back again." Jiraiya said.
So this is a matter of trust between both sides.
For Yumi Hinata, does she dare to face Jiraiya and the Third Hokage at the same time while she is seriously injured? Even if there is a Thor, isn't this a trap for her?
For Sarutobi, he has the responsibility of being the Hokage. Although his strength is amazing, and he has his disciple Jiraiya by his side, but if this matter is known, as long as it is arranged in advance, the four villages will do anything to keep him here forever.
Yumi Hinata suddenly raised the corner of her mouth and smiled. The real source of her confidence is her Byakugan and Thor, she is aware of Jiraiya's arrangement in advance, but even so, she doesn't dare to face the Third Hokage?
What a joke.
