Half a month later,
Tobirama Sentete came out of the laboratory, feeling sore and the sun dazzling for a while. It was also because there were no big tasks recently.
He was able to squat in the laboratory and take root.
But now he felt that he had been inactive for a long time.
His joints were almost rusty.
He was going to talk to his brother about something first.
But it wasn't anything urgent.
Tobirama Sentete slightly sensed that his brother and sister-in-law were together, so he didn't disturb the couple's time.
He limped and planned to go to the training ground to find someone to stretch his muscles.
Sentete's family has several training grounds, some specially made protective enchantments for practicing ninjutsu, some for physical training ninja tools, and some for adults and children.
The one Tobirama Sentete was going to was near the patriarch's house, and there weren't many people there on weekdays.
Of course, this wasn't because the Sentete people were afraid of the authority of patriarch Hashirama.
It was because the unmarried Tobirama Sentete still lived with his brother. For the clansmen, the second leader had both the traditional enthusiasm and cheerfulness of the Sentete clan, but he wasn't a difficult person to get along with.
But he was a super powerful perceptual ninja.
How powerful was he? So powerful that he was training in the training ground next to the patriarch's house.
Maybe he would forget about it after a few days.
Occasionally, when he met the second leader, he would suddenly say something like, "Where does your physical technique need to be strengthened?" or "You actually lost to someone who is several years younger than you. Isn't it shameful?"
However, there was no one at the training ground at that time.
It was good to be able to get guidance from a strong person, but this feeling was as uncomfortable as a primary school student with a monitor in the classroom. Others could see you.
But you didn't know if anyone was watching.
So as Tobirama Sentete's perception became stronger, older, and more serious, fewer and fewer Sentete clansmen dared to train in this training ground.
What was going on today? There were a lot of people.
But the aura was quiet.
So there weren't many people training?
Tobirama Sentete thought as he walked to the side of the training ground.
Clansmen gathered in twos and threes on the sidelines. Some of them whispered as they watched, while others gestured with their hands and legs. The people fighting on the field were … Hatake Kakashi and Momoka Sendai.
Momoka Sendai was an anomaly in the Sentete family.
In this era, because of the frequent wars, too many people died on the battlefield. The general requirement for the women of the big families is to give birth and raise children at home. Compared to going to the battlefield to contribute more and have less danger, even if they have the ability to use Ninjutsu.
But Momoka Sendai was born with a cold appearance. She had thin eyebrows, thin eyes, thin lips, and a sharp chin. She was ruthless from a young age. Before the difference in physical strength between men and women was widened by growth, she was invincible among the children of her age. And although everyone was related to each other by blood, it didn't stop her from breaking the arms and legs of her friends. Even if her father broke her legs afterwards, she couldn't stop.
When she was ten years old, her father was completely out of options. He took her to visit the patriarch at that time, Buddha. "My daughter probably won't be able to get married. It's not good to let her continue to harm the family. It's better to let her go to the battlefield with a boy. Wherever she goes, it's her fate."
And now, more than ten years later, Momoka Sendai not only succeeded in getting married, but also became the third-in-command of the family. Although she was now famous for her Genjutsu, her physical strength was definitely not her weakness.
But now, Momoka Sendai was completely suppressed — and in a situation where she would occasionally kick her opponent in the groin, forcing him to defend himself.
Tobirama Sentete estimated that even if he went up, the situation would be limited.
Hatake Kakashi's reaction was agile and extremely fast. Although he was slightly lacking in strength, his extraordinary skills made up for it. Just as Tobirama Sentete judged at first sight, he was a very strong ninja.
He reached out and patted a clansman who was watching intently in front of him. "How long have they been fighting?"
The clansman was startled. When he turned around and saw that it was him, he sighed in relief. "Tobirama -sama, this is the third round. Kakashi's round will be over in a while. The next round is Yumi's."
They got familiar with each other so quickly? Tobirama Sentete looked around and saw Yumi Hinata standing on the other side of the training ground. She was wearing the family's daily training clothes, and the corners of her clothes were slightly dirty. It seemed that she had already fought.
Tobirama Sentete asked, "How's the battle going?"
The clansman thought for a moment. "Hmm — two days ago, Shinshou won a total of three rounds against Kakashi. But at that time, he was still injured. Today, Kakashi hasn't lost yet. Since yesterday, Yumi has been training with us. Until now, no one has beaten her. "
The clansman looked at him expectantly. "Tobirama -sama, are you going to help us get back at them?"
Tobirama Sentete felt that he might not be able to get back at them. However, it was not his style to avoid a fight when facing a strong opponent. He was not the type of person who enjoyed fighting. But the Hyuga family lived far away in the Land of Rain, and he rarely had the chance to fight with them. He was indeed curious about this family that was famous for their Byakugan and physical skills.
While they were talking, Hatake Kakashi and Momoka Sendai had finished their battle. The cunning Hatake Kakashi used a few tricks that he had set up to trick Momoka Sendai. Then, he sent her flying with a kick.
"Thank you for letting me win." He said as he reached out to pull his opponent back.
At this time, there was no custom of forming the Seal of Reconciliation after a battle. Momoka Sendai frowned and ignored him. She got up on her own. "We'll fight again tomorrow."
Yumi Hinata jumped into the arena. "Who's next?"
The Sentete clansman moved aside and revealed Tobirama Sentete. "The next one is Tobirama -sama."
Yumi Hinata laughed. "Okay."
She looked at Tobirama Sentete and walked into the arena. Suddenly, she said, "How about this, Mr. Tobirama? The original rule was to use physical skills. No Chakra, and no Taijutsu. But since it's a rare opportunity to fight with you, why don't we change the rules?"
Tobirama Sentete nodded and gestured for her to continue.
Yumi Hinata said, "Let's all use Thor."
Tobirama Sentete raised his eyebrows. "Thor?"
"Yes, I think your name sounds better than mine. It's more cultured, so I've decided to use this name in the future." Yumi Hinata flattered him with a dry smile. Then she said, "You don't have a chance to fight with someone who also knows Thor."
That was true. And since Yumi Hinata's Golden Flash, no, Thor had already shown off in front of Uchiha Macula, it would be impossible to use it as a secret weapon. In that case, there was no need to keep it a secret from the clansmen.
As Yumi Hinata said, it was indeed a rare opportunity to fight with two people who also knew Thor.
Thor's function was undoubtedly powerful, but Tobirama Sentete was still studying how to formulate a matching strategy to maximize its effectiveness.
Tobirama Sentete left a Thor mark on the training ground, and in a few seconds, he went back to his room to grab the Thor kunai and came back. His movements were extremely fast, and the clansmen who didn't know about his unique skill before exclaimed in surprise.
Yumi Hinata's ninja bag was on her, and she didn't have much to prepare. She just grabbed a handful of kunai with both hands, ready to attack.
Following the order of Thousand-Hands Momohana, who was acting as the referee, the two of them simultaneously sent out a dozen kunai towards each other. Then, their figures began to flicker non-stop, appearing in different corners of the training ground.
Half a minute later, the training ground was densely packed with hundreds of kunai. The two people attacked each other, caught each other's figure, and dodged each other's attacks. But for half a minute, they didn't even touch each other's Cape Town clothes.
"Hey," Tobirama Sentete stood next to his kunai and asked Yumi Hinata, "How about we end this quickly?"
Yumi Hinata smiled, "Okay."
Another ten seconds passed, and Tobirama Sentete suddenly appeared at the same time as Yumi Hinata. He grabbed her shoulder with one hand and thrust a kunai at her with the other. Yumi Hinata ducked and twisted her body, forcibly dislocating her shoulder and dodging the attack. She kicked Tobirama Sentete, but the two separated again.
This was the last scene that everyone could understand. When the two figures appeared again, it was the scene of Yumi Hinata standing behind Tobirama Sentete with one hand on his back.
The Sentete clansmen were in an uproar. Did the Second-in-charge lose? Although they didn't understand the teleportation ninjutsu, it was obvious that it was powerful. After two days of training, many of them had fought with Yumi Hinata. Although they knew that she was strong, they never thought that the Second-in-charge would lose.
Don't look at the fact that Konoha's Clan Leader is always oppressed by Konoha's Clan Leader, he is almost invincible outside. Aside from the Uchiha Clan, Sarutobi and other Shinobi clans, none of the Clan Leaders can compare to Konoha's strength.
Of course, this was just a practice. The Second-in-charge didn't use the ninjutsu and swordsmanship that he was good at. But the opponent also didn't use the Hyuga family's most famous Gentle Fist, Sixty-four Palms.
Momoka Sendai was unmoved and announced the result of the battle.
Yumi Hinata put down the hand on Tobirama Sentete's back, "Thank you for letting me win."
Tobirama Sentete raised his hand and looked at his palm. A small black tree pattern was printed there, "How did you do it? Thor's mark on your shoulder? "
Yumi Hinata pointed to her eyes, "Byakugan can see the acupoints. It's one of the basic skills of Gentle Fist, releasing Chakra from the acupoints to attack. But I used it to release Chakra's mark."
It's impossible to guard against. Tobirama Sentete thought.
Both of them used Thor, and both of them were attacking. The result was the same as just now, no one could catch the other. Thor said that he could appear in any place unexpectedly, but this place must be marked by Thor's mark. While the two were throwing kunai, they were also calculating the position of each other's kunai and reducing each other's strategic space.
Tobirama Sentete was able to catch her the first time because he predicted her dodging habits and grasped the position of all her kunai. Yumi Hinata didn't appear there first and then Tobirama Sentete followed. Instead, under Tobirama Sentete's attack, that position was the best position for Yumi Hinata to attack and defend.
But Yumi Hinata used this point to imprint her Thor's mark on his hand.
Now she was in an invincible position.
This move was a bit too powerful. Although she was vague, Tobirama Sentete deduced that since she could imprint Thor's mark on acupoints, did it mean that all the acupoints on the body could be imprinted? In that case, what was the difference between the shoulder and the foot?
In fact, she had been holding back just now. There were many places where she didn't need to use kunai. She could leave a mark on the place where she stood and when Tobirama Sentete raised his hand to block her kick.
He frowned and cut off the small piece of skin on his hand. Then he began to follow Yumi Hinata to pull out Thor's kunai from the ground.
"The Second King Yanluo is really powerful."
Yumi Hinata said to Hatake Kakashi during the treatment at night.
Hatake Kakashi certainly had his own opinion about the battle during the day: "You are lacking in combat experience. The Second King Yanluo's ability to predict is obviously better than yours."
"That's just one aspect." Yumi Hinata said, "In fact, the key to cooperating with Thor is nerve reaction speed. The Yondaime-sama's most powerful ability is his reaction speed, which is simply invincible. From the scene this afternoon, the Second King Yanluo's tactical ability and experience are very strong, but in fact, his reaction speed is inferior to the Yondaime-sama's. "
Although it was his own sensei who was praised, Hatake Kakashi still asked: "Why do you say that?"
Yumi Hinata: "Well, let's put it this way, Yondaime-sama has always used Rasengan and Thor to cooperate, right?"
Hatake Kakashi nodded.
Yumi Hinata: "Rasengan is not difficult, I also know how to use it. However, it was different when used with the Flying Thunder God, because the Flying Thunder God's biggest feature was its speed and surprise. Think about it, you used 0.001 seconds to appear behind the enemy, and then used an entire second to cast a ninjutsu, isn't that funny? So your Chidori won't work. "
Hatake Kakashi also agreed. Rasengan is a ninjutsu without seals, and Chidori requires hand seals. Although five seals is already very short, in a fast-paced battle, even one seal may slow down the rhythm. Chidori's speed is mainly due to the straight line sprint speed after the ninjutsu takes effect.
Yumi Hinata: "But even if it's the same ninjutsu without seals, there is a difference in the time it takes to use it. For example, Yondaime-sama, he may use a Rasengan from nothing like Thor, the time is too short to see the middle process, but if I use a Rasengan, it will take at least half a second to condense Chakra into a lethal state. Of course, this has a lot to do with my lack of proficiency, but it also has to do with nerve reaction speed. "
Yumi Hinata: "After the space transfer, you have to instantly determine the relative position and posture between yourself and the enemy, the brain gives the command to the fingers to use the Rasengan, and then the Rasengan is formed to hit the enemy. Although the process is less than 0.1 seconds, it is actually a very complicated process."
Yumi Hinata: "Yondaime-sama's tactics have developed this process to the extreme, and in this extreme, he can adjust himself at any time, and if he doesn't hit the target, he can change tactics to retreat or continue to attack in another way. In this respect, Yondaime-sama is not as good as him – no, maybe no one can compare to him. "
Hatake Kakashi asked: "What about you?"
Hyuga Yumi was a little embarrassed. "Me? I'm ashamed. I'm the one with the slowest reflexes among the three who can use the Flying Thunder God. You're the one with the fastest reflexes I've ever seen. So I have been thinking of ways to make up for this. It should be because Yondaime-sama rarely uses Thor in battle, so the development of his tactics is not mature yet. Next time, I may not be able to win. But I don't think he is a Taijutsu master, so in order to ensure lethality, he probably has to attach Chakra to the sword or kunai, which is faster than using Rasengan, but not as flexible as Rasengan. "
Although Yumi Hinata self-modestly said that her nerve reaction speed was the slowest among them, she was not comparing herself to a human. It was like comparing Tobirama Sentete to Yondaime-Sama, a fighting genius that only appeared once in a hundred years – Tobirama Sentete was not known for his flexibility.
"Okay," Yumi Hinata withdrew the four Shadow Clones, "You can try to refine Chakra. Today, you can try to go further than yesterday, but I still say the same thing, stop immediately if it hurts – if you don't want to leave any irreversible sequelae."
Hatake Kakashi's refining process only lasted for ten minutes before he had to stop. While waiting for the twitching pain in his body to pass, he touched his left eye: "When are we leaving?"
Yumi Hinata: "I saw that you were so familiar with Sentete that I thought you didn't want to leave."
Hatake Kakashi smiled bitterly: "Don't joke, I have a hunch that my left eye will open soon."
Yumi Hinata was startled: "No way, your Chakra can't afford the consumption of the Sharingan."
Hatake Kakashi: "The Sharingan is not that considerate. Maybe when the Chakra is used up, it will close, or it will start to extract something else."
What else? Anyway, Chakra is a combination of human cells, which is the combination of physical strength and spiritual strength. If the Chakra can't supply the Sharingan, it will only extract one of the two.
Yumi Hinata frowned: "Well, I was thinking of going to the Hyuga family in two days. After all, although you can't use Chakra now, you can protect yourself as long as you can move. It's okay to take you with me."
"You want to go to the Hyuga family …" Hatake Kakashi's voice was strange: "Do you hate them so much? You won't even let go of another Hyuga family? "
Yumi Hinata raised her eyebrows: "That's not it. I just want to see what other people will do."
The two of them quickly bid farewell to the Sentete family, ignoring Hashirama's repeated persuasion. Ten days later, they arrived at the Land of Rain. At this time, Hatake Kakashi understood what Yumi Hinata meant.
Her original body and eight shadow clones were frantically writing leaflets in the hotel where they were staying.
Yes, leaflets.
Hatake Kakashi picked up a leaflet she had written: "… The Caged Bird can only be activated by the branch family within the line of sight of the main family, which includes the Byakugan. The branch family engraved with the Caged Bird will not suffer any backlash if they kill the main family who has the Caged Bird. To activate the Caged Bird, the person with the Byakugan must use Chakra … What is this? "
"The truth of the Caged Bird." Yumi Hinata's original body picked up the leaflet she had written and dried it. In this day and age, only brushes could be used, and there were no copy shops that could be found everywhere. For people like her who wanted to distribute leaflets, it was very unfriendly.
Yumi Hinata: "Actually, I already had the ability to do it when I was a teenager, but I was always worried about these things and didn't dare to do it. After all, everything about the Caged Bird is a secret of the main family. Its range of effects, how it works, and everything else about it, the branch family doesn't know. "
Hatake Kakashi placed the leaflet on the pile she had written and dried: "Then what do you mean by this?"
Yumi Hinata said: "I want to see what the Yasuji branch family of this world will do when they know all this."
"What do you want them to do?" Hatake Kakashi frowned: "This is not a game. The consequences are very serious."
Yumi Hinata put down the brush: "Of course the consequences are very serious. I have already thought of many different endings, but that is the choice of the branch family, isn't it? You have to know, for hundreds of years, the Yasuji branch family has never enjoyed the super VIP treatment of deciding their own fate. "
Her tone was sarcastic, and Hatake Kakashi understood what she meant. But as he said, the consequences of this matter were very serious.
First of all, the Hyuga family's main family and branch family system could no longer be maintained, because the main family was almost doomed.
Compared with the hundreds of people of the branch family, the main family with only a few people could be said to be extremely weak. Although the Caged Bird was powerful, Yumi Hinata had clearly written down all its limitations. Naturally, there were resentful branch family members who dared to take the risk — just like her.
Even if there were only a few of them, would the main family members who saw the leaflet still trust the branch family who intended to protect them? No one can always maintain the highest vigilance, and the internal peace and trust of the Ri family will be gone.
Secondly, after the death of the main family, where would the Hyuga family go?
They went all the way from the Fire Nation to the Land of Rain. The journey was only ten days, and they encountered no less than five battles. The world was indeed chaotic, and the strength of an individual could not play a big role in this chaotic world. The only way to survive was to stick together, and this was the form of a family.
Can the Hyuga family still be maintained? Except for the main family, when the other branch families want to stand up and lead everyone, can he convince them? Perhaps the Hyuga family will fall apart, and the members of the Hyuga family will drift to the ninja world, and lose the deterrence of the family. Without the Caged Bird, will the next generation of the Hyuga family become a delicious cake in the eyes of the ninja world?
Hatake Kakashi couldn't help but say: "People will die, a lot of people will die. Not only the main family, but also the children of the main family, or even more children. "
Yumi Hinata rubbed her fingers that were stiff from writing: "Thousands of people will die without a cause. It's time for the Zong Clan to make a decision that will determine the fate of the Zong Clan. If they have enough people's hearts, even if all the adults are dead, there will still be someone to protect their children. If they don't even have someone to protect their children, just think about what they have done in their daily lives. "
Hatake Kakashi frowned: "That's not the reason for you to do this."
Yumi Hinata smiled: "As I said, I just want to see other people's choices. It's not necessarily bad, maybe it's better? Uchiha's family doesn't have a Caged Bird, but didn't they still survive? Other families don't have a Caged Bird, and they can all love and protect each other. Why does Yasuji have to rely on a Caged Bird? "
Her expression suddenly became gloomy: "If the Hyuga family can only rely on a Caged Bird and a few people to treat others as dogs to survive, then it only proves that there is no need for this family to exist."
Hatake Kakashi sighed heavily. In fact, he felt that Yumi Hinata was right to some extent, but he still couldn't empathize with her. Moreover, he had seen too much of the current ninja's life after losing their family, and later ninja's life after losing their country.
Looking at these flyers, he seemed to see scenes of human tragedies.
"Then have you ever thought that after the death of the Hinata Zongjia here, what if someone else gets a hold of the Caged Bird? Won't you be in danger then? "
