Silence.
Silence was tonight's Cambridge.
After Hyuga Yumi uttered those two earth-shattering words, no one spoke for a full twenty seconds.
Other than Hatake Kakashi's desperate coughs,
The scene was silent.
The atmosphere was very awkward.
Feeling Hyuga Yumi's scorching gaze that was filled with disappointment.
Hatake Kakashi struggled to regulate his breathing.
He said weakly, "That's right."
Tobirama Sentete crossed his arms and didn't say a word. His intuition told him that something was wrong.
But logically speaking, a man and a woman, of similar age and strength, were not weak.
Both of them were seriously injured and were on the run. There seemed to be no other reasonable explanation other than eloping.
Especially one of them was Yasuji, the crazy bloodline protector that they had heard of even in the Fire Nation.
It was said that the Hyuga family almost never married outsiders.
Even if they did, they had to join the Yasuji family regardless of gender. Moreover, there was a clear distinction between the main family and the branch family.
This woman from the Hyuga family was so strong at such a young age. In the entire ninja world, how many people could take her away from Uchiha Macula? It was a woman.
She was good-looking and strong. Such a person should be famous in the five countries.
However, she was unknown to the public.
This must be a secret weapon of the Hyuga family.
If this weapon was to marry one day,
The other party was still a Nōnin and refused to join the Yasuji family. Well, it was understandable that they were seriously injured by the Hyuga family.
Thinking of this, Tobirama Sentete found that he had accepted the explanation of eloping.
That's right, it's quite reasonable. He thought, no woman would joke about this kind of thing …
Tobirama Sentete looked at Yumi Hinata. Not only were her arms bandaged, but there were also bandages on her collar. She should have been tied up like a mummy under her clothes, and there were faint bloodstains on the left side of her body. They had done quite a lot to save him.
Do you still need to ask them why they risked their lives to save people? Saving people didn't seem to require any special reason, and he always felt that he wouldn't get a proper answer even if he asked.
Although he thought so, Tobirama Sentete still asked.
Yumi Hinata: "I just entrusted my child to the Uchiha family and you came over. You even got into a fight with the Uchiha family. No matter how you think about it, it has something to do with us. So I just saved him."
Tobirama Sentete felt that this was the most believable sentence out of all the woman's words.
Tobirama Sentete: "Then, in order to thank you for saving our lives, please follow me back to the Sentete Clan. My elder brother is proficient in medical ninjutsu and will definitely help you recover faster."
Yumi Hinata and Hatake Kakashi looked at each other. The legendary God of Shinobi? They were a little curious, but they always felt that such a big person would be very difficult to fool, and even if Yumi Hinata had mastered Thor, facing the First Hokage who had the title of "God", she wasn't sure that she could escape with Kakashi.
Hatake Kakashi: "No, that's not necessary …"
Tobirama Sentete: "Please let Sentete express his gratitude. After all, you have helped a lot, and don't you have hundreds of ninjutsu you invented to show me?"
Yumi Hinata sneered and turned to Hatake Kakashi and said: "Then follow me. Anyway, I just took two people with me, and that was the last Chakra. Now it's not qualified to say no."
Hatake Kakashi smiled bitterly. He naturally believed in the character of the two Sentete Hokages. Although he already knew that there was darkness under the surface of Konoha's prosperity, he didn't think that the Second Hokage who was "farsighted, serious, and kind, and laid the foundation of Konoha" was a person who would bite the hand that fed him.
Of course, it would be difficult to let such a person relax his vigilance against the enemy because of personal kindness.
But Yumi Hinata was different.
Before Hatake Kakashi accepted this task and was reverse channeled to the Land of Hot Water, he was already told about the cause and effect of Yumi Hinata's betrayal.
Most people in Konoha knew that the Hyuga family had a clear distinction between the main family and the branch family. But how to maintain this status quo was something that only a small number of people knew.
Many of the branch families felt that this kind of thing was quite shameful, and only occasionally mentioned it to their close colleagues. On the other hand, they were also afraid that if they complained too much, it would spread to the ears of the main family and they would be punished. Regardless of whether the main family would punish the branch family for this kind of thing, they were afraid that they couldn't stop it.
It was also at that time that Hatake Kakashi learned about his colleague in the Anbu named Yasuji. On the surface, everyone was fighting for Konoha, to protect their family and friends, but in essence, there were so many differences.
Life gave Hatake Kakashi too many hardships since childhood, compared to personal gains and losses and superficial dignity, he valued life and faith more. But even so, Hatake Kakashi tried to think in Yumi Hinata's shoes, and found that although he might not make the same choice as her, it was not impossible for him to understand her behavior.
If she had experienced such darkness since she was a child, then more than ten years ago when she was in the Ninja Academy, the teacher asked everyone why they wanted to become ninjas. She smiled and said, "In order to protect the Main Family in the future." What was she thinking at that time?
She never trusted Konoha and the Hokage.
And now, Nidaime-sama's behavior probably caused her to extend this distrust to the two Hokages whom she had never met before.
Hatake Kakashi comforted her: "It's okay, Yumi, anyway, we both need to rest, it's good to go to Sentete's house to recuperate."
Yumi Hinata: "As long as you're happy, it's good that you can't choose not to go."
Tobirama Sentete was embarrassed again, but at the same time, his rationality helped him to stand up again: "If this is really just a misunderstanding, I will apologize to you in person later, but for now, please be sure to come with me, even if it's for your own safety."
Yumi Hinata was just saying, she knew that using Thor's exclusive Senjutsu wouldn't end so easily. But before, she only knew that Tsunade, one of the Sannin, was known as the strongest medical ninja in the ninja world. She didn't expect that even Tsunade's Senjutsu was Sentete's exclusive secret technique.
She learned so many Ninjutsu from Tobirama Sentete, and Thor saved her life countless times. Although this Tobirama Sentete wasn't the same as the Nidaime-sama in her world, so she went with him, she couldn't resist anyway.
But this kind of feeling was really annoying.
Yumi Hinata pulled Hatake Kakashi's arm and put him on her shoulder: "How do we go?"
Tobirama Sentete grabbed one in each hand, activated Thor, and in the blink of an eye, joined the Sentete's team that retreated before.
Then, he handed Hatake Kakashi to a Sentete to carry. Yumi Hinata's Chakra was almost empty, but anyway, her pain nerves had been cut off, and her injury wasn't that bad. She didn't want to be carried by someone else, so she endured it all the way and followed.
When they came, they walked and stopped, but when they went back, it was very fast. After a night's journey, they saw Hashirama the next morning.
He didn't look like the middle-aged man on the statue in the Valley of the End, nor did he have an amazing aura like Uchiha Macula. At first glance, he didn't look like a fish in a pond. How to say it, he looked like an ordinary young man in his twenties.
His skin was slightly dark, his smile was hearty, his eyes were big, and his forehead was tied with a white headband with the Sentete emblem. He wore a light-colored open-lapel, wide-sleeved kimono with green and white, and looked relaxed and casual. He didn't look like a dignified leader, nor a powerful ninja.
When he saw a group of people from a distance, he began to wave. Tobirama Sentete and the Sentete's people sped up to greet him.
Yumi Hinata and Hatake Kakashi were the last two people. She had good eyesight, and whispered to Hatake Kakashi: "Why do I feel that Shodaime-sama is a bit … different from the legends?"
Hatake Kakashi had followed Sandaime Hokage for several years, so he knew more: "Anyway, there is no doubt that he is powerful."
Yumi Hinata nodded.
In front of them, Hashirama had already led people towards them, and grabbed Hatake Kakashi's hand with great enthusiasm: "Thank you so much, I only have one brother. He is always reckless, thanks to you for saving him."
Tobirama Sentete was unhappy: "Hey, brother, I asked you to check their injuries, don't talk nonsense."
Hatake Kakashi was a little embarrassed: "No, I didn't do anything, it was Yumi who saved … Tobirama."
"I know," Hashirama said with a smile: "But my wife has a bad temper, I don't dare to shake hands with other girls."
A red-haired woman behind him slapped him on the back, and Hashirama staggered and almost fell to the ground. The woman said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Hatake Kakashi and Yumi Hinata: It was as if they were looking at Tsunade-sama.
"I am Hashirama's wife, Mito. Thank you for saving Tobirama." Mito carefully looked at Yumi Hinata and frowned deeply: "You are too reckless."
Yumi Hinata:?
Mito gently touched the blood oozing from below her left shoulder. Seeing that Hyuga Yumi didn't respond, he was even more tangled: "Well, Hashirama, if you have anything to say, you can say it later. I have to treat this girl's torn wound first."
"That's right," Hashirama said, "Then Kakashi, let me check you."
Hatake Kakashi subconsciously wanted to agree, but suddenly remembered something and quickly waved his hand to refuse: "I'll pass, Yumi will treat me when she recovers."
His left eye was a Sharingan, and Sentete and Uchiha were now fighting over a few words. Whether he said that it was a gift from his Uchiha friend or a spoil of war from Uchiha's enemy, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get away with it.
Of course, after coming to this world, with the tearing of the Chakra Circuit, the Chakra that silently flowed in his body since he could refine Chakra was cut off for the first time. The Sharingan that had been forced to open for several years finally returned to the ordinary black eye state because of the lack of Chakra support.
But this was only the appearance. After all, this was a Sharingan, and it was the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan.
Yumi Hinata had confirmed before that even with her sensitivity, she couldn't detect anything different about this eye. But sensing and carefully examining were two different things. Moreover, with the ability of the 1st Hokage and his many years of experience fighting against Uchiha, Hatake Kakashi was worried that he would notice something.
Mito re-bandaged Yumi Hinata's open wound. As for the pain nerves that she had cut off, this was a more delicate operation. Yumi Hinata said that she could recover some Chakra by herself after eating a soldier food pill.
Hashirama immediately knew what was going on with Hatake Kakashi's injury. But in his understanding, using Chakra without any regard for the consequences and even injuring himself to such an extent was subtly in line with the setting of being hunted down by the Hyuga family.
But after hosting a family banquet for the two, Hashirama waited for his younger brother to go to the laboratory before he smiled and said, "So, why are you two being hunted down by the Hyuga family?"
Hatake Kakashi replied, "Eloping."
Yumi Hinata nodded silently.
Hashirama scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, "This … I'm really embarrassed to say it out loud. You two don't seem to have that kind of relationship. Tobirama is still a child, so he doesn't understand. But I've been married for more than ten years, so I can understand this kind of thing at a glance. "
Although adult education is not popular in the ninja world, Hatake Kakashi received the "Intimate Paradise" on his eighteenth birthday and has already watched it ten times. Although on the surface he is still the cold silver-haired ninja, at this time his heart is completely different from two years ago.
Hatake Kakashi's dead fish eyes, which were the only exposed part of his face, became even more lifeless after listening to the 1st Hokage's suggestive words.
Hyuga Yumeili said that she had lived in a world of information explosion for many years, so she didn't pay attention to this level of hint at all. She just thought to herself, 'You're really something, First Hokage, to be able to treat a twenty-something-year-old with a bad temper like a child.'
Hashirama saw that the two of them were still calm even after their lies were exposed, and he was a little confused about what was going on. But one good thing about him was that he didn't have to get to the bottom of everything.
Whether it was his wife, brother, or close friends, they were all grumpy and didn't like to explain themselves. Although they respected him and loved him, they would still beat him up if they were arrogant.
Getting along with these three people for many years, he was used to not looking at the surface of everything. Actual actions represented the true heart.
And the actual actions of these two people were that when they passed by Naka River, they salvaged Sentete's body, saved the life of the target child, and saved the reputation of the Sentete family. After that, they entrusted the child to the Uchiha family and asked them to send the child back. When Tobirama and Madara fought, they also risked their lives to save Tobirama's life.
As for the Senjutsu and Thor, of course, they were very important.
But in Hashirama's view, they weren't important enough to be compared with his younger brother's life.
Since his younger brother could invent the Water Release in ten days and Thor in two or three years, of course, he should allow others to do the same.
As for whether this matter was true or not, when the Hyuga family girl Chakra recovered, he would see if she really had hundreds of unknown Ninjutsu.
Of course, she didn't need hundreds, she could use more than ten original Ninjutsu. Hashirama felt that this matter was true.
"No matter what secrets you have, I have to thank you again for saving Tobirama." Hashirama knocked his forehead on the table. "Tobirama is my only brother, and Madara is my friend, but Sentete and Uchiha have been enemies for generations. He won't be merciful to Tobirama, just as Tobirama won't be merciful to the Uchiha family."
"I've been very careful to protect Tobirama, and I've never let him face Madara alone. Tobirama has been very powerful since he was a child, but he's not Madara's opponent." When Hashirama looked up again, his big eyes were almost wet. "If only the war could stop, let everyone sit down like this, and get along peacefully, whether it's Sentete, Uchiha, or Yasuji …"
"Your wish will come true, and the war will stop." Hatake Kakashi interrupted him. He really couldn't stand a man whose face was engraved on the Shadow Rock. He suddenly felt that Zetsu was unexpectedly suitable to be Hokage when he was a child.
Thinking that Zetsu, the most suitable Hokage in his heart, was now planning to destroy the world, Hatake Kakashi felt a chill in his heart. Sometimes he thought that it would be better to stay in this world and not go back. Then he wouldn't have to face the current Zetsu.
Of course, every time such an escape idea came up, he would quickly get out of it and wake up.
After the family banquet that day, the two of them settled down in Sentete's territory. Hashirama's medical ninjutsu was really amazing. Even if he used the same technique, the effect was better than others. Yumi Hinata, as a wounded person being treated, felt that she benefited a lot just by looking at it.
One day, she couldn't help but ask her own question, "Did you use the method of controlling Chakra to expand the treatment range?"
Hashirama was very happy that his medical ninjutsu was recognized, "Yes, yes, yes, you are the first one to see it so quickly."
Yumi Hinata frowned, "This method isn't very difficult if you look at it carefully, but what's the point? In this way, with the expansion of the healing area, the consumption of chakra will increase exponentially. "
Hashirama laughed and touched her head, "Is that so? I didn't pay attention to it. Anyway, it can last until the wounds of others are completely healed. "
Yumi Hinata's mouth twitched. Ah yes, I almost forgot, the strength of the Chakra of the person who used this method is comparable to a Bijuu … No, maybe even stronger than a Bijuu.
Yesterday, she didn't know why Hashirama was so angry, but he suddenly burst out with Chakra. At that time, she was nearly a kilometer away from him. Her battle instincts frantically sounded the alarm, telling her to escape immediately.
Six years ago, when the Nine Tails attacked the village, before she was taken to the enchantment that concentrated the protection of the next generation of ninjas, she once glanced at the Nine Tails from a distance. At that time, she thought that Chakra was the greatest horror, but she didn't expect that today she would have a deeper understanding of it from a human being.
But only a perceptive ninja like her would have this kind of feeling. At that time, Hatake Kakashi and the others of the Sentete clan who were with her, although they were aware of it, they were not as shocked as her.
Yumi Hinata: "I think we can use a better method. Wouldn't it be better to use the 'Omnipotent Medical Technique' together with a few more Shadow Clones? After the clones are removed, you can also take back the Chakra that was separated. This is more meaningful for ordinary people other than you. "
Hashirama: "Shadow Clone Jutsu? Like the Wood Clone Jutsu that can use Ninjutsu? "
Huh? Finally, I encountered a Ninjutsu that Nidaime Sama hasn't invented yet? Great, I finally got the naming right!
Yumi Hinata said with a smile: "Yes, I'll show you tomorrow. This is a technique that requires the main body and the clone to share Chakra equally. With my Chakra, I can split into eight clones at the limit, but if I want to maintain a certain amount of Chakra and combat power, then I can only split into four."
Hashirama thought: "Such a technique is very dangerous for people who don't have enough Chakra. The Wood Clone can decide how much Chakra to put into the clone, but your technique can only be divided equally. If you rashly divide more than you can handle, then the spiritual power of the main body will be damaged."
Yumi Hinata: "Yes." That's why this technique is so useful, but it is classified as a forbidden technique, and only Chunin and above can apply to learn it.
After a few days of discussion, both sides accumulated favorability. On the agreed day, Tobirama Sentete cleared the training ground in advance, and Yumi Hinata, who recovered Chakra, began to demonstrate the Ninjutsu she "invented" to the Sentete brothers.
Starting with her most proficient water release:
"Water Release: Washing Technique."
The Sentete brothers whispered to each other: "It's very similar to the Water Prison Jutsu in the Land of Water. This Chakra rotation is very difficult, but it's useless. It can only be used to wash clothes."
Of course, there is also a matching "Wind Release: Drying Technique."
Hashirama: "This is amazing. The biggest problem to use this technique is that the clothes won't be shredded. Yumi is really amazing. Tobirama, have you tried it? Why don't you try it? Brother remembers that you are also very good at wind release. "
Tobirama Sentete: "Shut up, brother."
"Water Release: Water Gun Technique."
Hashirama: "Ah, Tobirama, isn't this your Water Wave Breaker?"
"Water Release: Great Water Bullet."
Hashirama: "Tobirama, this looks like your Water Dragon Bullet."
"Water Release: Water Body Flicker."
Hashirama: "Tobirama is the same as you."
…
"Genjutsu: Invisible Jutsu."
Hashirama: "Tobirama, isn't your Darkness Jutsu similar to this?"
Tobirama Sentete: "Brother, shut up."
"Summoning Jutsu: Explosive Rune Shadow Clone."
