"The latest news is,
This should be done by the Kaguya clan. "
Hatake Kakashi, who had returned from inquiring about the news in Chaotian City, was worried. "Byakugan is very tempting to ninja clans like the Kaguya clan, who use taijutsu. If the Hyuga family can't effectively attack the Kaguya clan,
Then this will only be the beginning of a series of tragedies. "
Yumi Hinata sat in a circle of scattered scrolls,
One scroll was spread out on her lap, and two were spread out in front of her,
She was holding a homemade rough dip pen in her hand, writing and drawing,
After listening to Hatake Kakashi's words,
She casually responded with a "hmm" and buried her head in her own work.
It wasn't until dinner that Yumi Hinata remembered to ask him about the details,
Hatake Kakashi frowned and said, "There are a total of twenty-three people. They were originally hiding byakugan and living as ordinary people, but they were still found by the Kaguya clan. The bodies of the adults are basically intact,
But the eyes of the four children who haven't been engraved with the caged bird have been gouged out. "
Yumi Hinata: "Disgusting."
Hatake Kakashi sighed.
Yumi Hinata glanced at him. "You don't have to worry too much. This is not our world, and this Yasuji is not the future Yasuji of Konoha,
There's no need to include them in the protection, right? "
"Of course not," Hatake Kakashi said,
"I just think, are you …"
Yumi Hinata continued, "Hate Yasuji?"
Then she answered her own question, "You can see it, so I must hate him a little. Not only the main family, I hate everyone in the Hyuga family. But I won't do anything. As for the current situation of the Hyuga family here, it's not my credit, but the inevitable result of the conflict between the main family and the branch family for hundreds of years,
I just did a little bit of work to tell them the truth. "
Yumi Hinata said, "There are no fools who can be ninjas,
They had considered the consequences of every decision they made. Don't they know the dangers of dozens of people living alone? They just prefer it that way. "
Hatake Kakashi could not understand this.
They knew that the supercilious look of the toddler was like a treasure that everyone coveted.
However, he had put himself in danger. "If you feel that you will be ostracized if you join other families because you are an outsider, then what about the Hyuga family in the Land of Rain? I heard that they are now willing to engrave the Caged Bird. "
Yumi Hinata said, "I'm not the person involved, so I don't know what they're thinking. But it's probably because they have a grudge against the person in power and don't trust his character. Or even if they trust his character, they don't believe that he can resist the temptation of the Caged Bird. The clan head of the Zong Clan said that he had burned all the scrolls, but did he really burn them all? Did he leave a copy for his son? Or how he died, or what he said to someone before he died, or something like that. Once the Caged Bird leaves the cage, it will always be more afraid of the cage than a bird born in the sky. Maybe they feel that it's worth living in a place with eagles in order to not return to the cage. "
"Is it worth it?" Hatake Kakashi said softly, "If the other members of the Hyuga family who live alone know about this, will they still feel that it's worth it?"
Yumi Hinata held the bowl thoughtfully, "Then they probably won't be so insistent. After all, they will really die. Before, some of them must have held on to the hope that nothing will happen, that they won't be found, and so on. But now … "She shrugged," Even that little bit of luck is gone. "
Although Yumi Hinata repeatedly emphasized that "this is not their world, and the Yasuji here are not members of Konoha," at least they should be members of Konoha in the future, and they should be protected by Hatake Kakashi.
Now that the future of the Yasuji family was unpredictable, Hatake Kakashi felt that he had a subtle responsibility for it. Or maybe he felt that he didn't advise Yumi Hinata to use a better way to tell the truth about the Caged Bird? He didn't know. Anyway, whenever he went out, he couldn't help but ask about the Hyuga family.
"Don't worry." Yumi Hinata said, "My research will take another one or two years to complete. If you're interested, you can see how it develops. As I said, ninjas aren't fools."
The people of the Hyuga family were indeed not fools.
The Hyuga family in the Land of Rain soon declared war on the Kaguya family, and the Hyuga family's Nōnin and hermits suddenly sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain to kill the ninjas of the Kaguya family. They were all adults, and most of them didn't have children. Even if their identities were exposed, they were not afraid of being killed. As for other dangers, ninjas were originally a profession that licked blood on the blade.
But the real fatal blow to the Kaguya family was the Yasuji who intermarried with other clans.
The other clans married with them in order to obtain the Byakugan Kekkei Genkai, and they certainly wouldn't let their children engrave the damn caged bird. Since the Kaguya family can kill the Yasuji now, I'm afraid that in the future, they will come to steal our children, right?
One must know that before the split of the Hyuga Clan, the Hyuga Clan was one of the most powerful first-class Shinobi clans, second only to the Senju and the Uchiha Clan. They had a large population, strict obedience to orders, and their abilities were uneven compared to other Shinobi clans. Basically, most of the members of the Hyuga Clan have reached a good level, and their average combat power is probably the strongest in the Shinobi World.
If it weren't for the fact that there was no super strong person in their clan, not to mention Hashirama and Uchiha Macula, even Tobirama Sentete and Uchiha Izuna, they wouldn't have their current status and territory.
Today, even if the population of the Hyuga family in the Land of Rain is less than half, they are still able to suppress the other clans around them.
Most of the credit belongs to the Byakugan. Compared with the Sharingan, which has a low rate of awakening, almost all Hyuga family members will awaken the Byakugan before the age of five, even if one of their parents is an outsider.
Such a strong, convenient, cheap, and powerful auxiliary ability, which ninja wouldn't want such a powerful Byakugan?
It wasn't until the news of the extermination of these twenty-three Hyuga clans broke out, and the major Shinobi clans declared war on the Kaguya clan one after another. Only then did people realize that the Shinobi clans that accepted the Hyuga Branch Family members were only a minority, and there were more clans that were silently making a fortune.
Especially the Sentete clan. Two years ago, Sentete's second-in-command and a Hyuga family girl had an illegitimate child, and dozens of Yasuji branch families came to Sentete to seek refuge. And Sentete, who didn't care about the purity of their bloodline, not only accepted them generously, but also gave them the same treatment as their clansmen.
Although Yumi Hinata always said that she wasn't interested in the Hyuga family, and didn't care at all, every time Hatake Kakashi brought a new piece of news, she was always happy to comment, "This time, the Kaguya clan is finished, right?"
Hatake Kakashi nodded, "Several battles have already broken out, mainly because Sentete's attack on the Kaguya clan is very strong."
Hatake Kakashi: "Now, among the famous clans in the ninja world, the Uchiha clan is probably the only one that doesn't have a single Byakugan." Even the Uzumaki clan took sides in the war against the Kaguya clan. Either they had a Yasuji of their own, or they were supporting their relative, Sentete.
As the former head of the branch family who lived with the Byakugan for 20 years, Yumi Hinata understood this mentality very well, "It's the spirit of competition among Dojutsu users. Basically, the Uchiha clan looks down on the Yasuji clan, but it's the same for the Yasuji clan. As long as there's food to eat, the Yasuji clan won't go to the Uchiha clan to ask for shelter. The Uchiha clan is the same. They are most proud of their eyes. Even if they are mixed with ordinary people, their descendants will basically have Sharingan, but if they are mixed with the Yasuji clan, it's hard to say whether the descendants will have Byakugan or Sharingan. "
Hatake Kakashi was a little curious, "There are Kekkei Genkai clans who marry ordinary people? Aren't they very protective of their bloodlines? "
Yumi Hinata laughed, "They are very protective, but there are only so many people who have Byakugan. In the history of the Yasuji clan, there were almost a thousand people at most, which was already considered a very large and fertile family. If they only married among such a small number of people for hundreds of years, not to mention the problem of blood relations being too close, all kinds of genetic diseases would have already wiped them out. However, the main clan has always married within the clan. As long as the other party is willing to join the Yasuji clan, then it's fine. "
Yumi Hinata said, "But it's different now. The Hyuga family here has provided a new idea to protect their bloodlines. Since the Byakugan clan is coveted, then use the Byakugan to occupy all the ninja clans. When everyone has Byakugan clans, they won't value it as much as before. "
Hatake Kakashi said, "Sure enough, as you said, no ninja is a fool. This may be the best choice and the most perfect result. "
From now on, the Hyuga family will only become more and more flourishing in the ninja world, and more and more people with Byakugan bloodlines will appear. Even if there is no Caged Bird, they will probably be able to protect themselves.
Compared to the population of the entire Shinobi World, the hundreds of people of the Hyuga Clan are like a small stone thrown into a lake. It may splash for a while, attract attention, and then calm will be restored, but it may also cause continuous ripples from then on.
Perhaps after a hundred years, the Hyuga family's bloodline will become thinner and thinner, and the surname Yasuji and the Byakugan bloodline will disappear in history. But at least at this moment, they and their children will be safe.
Yumi Hinata disagreed, "Not necessarily. The so-called good or bad is just a superficial judgment. The other ninja clans are not doing charity. Maybe some people will use the Byakugan children for experiments. Their situation will be even worse, including the Sentete you believe in. Isn't Nidaime-sama very interested in studying Forbidden Arts? "
Hatake Kakashi frowned, "Studying Forbidden Arts is not the same as human experiments, right?"
Yumi Hinata glanced at him, "Huh? Aren't you from the Anbu? Don't you know that the Anbu are conducting human experiments? "
Hatake Kakashi suddenly remembered the Mokuton boy from the Root. He was speechless.
Yumi Hinata smiled triumphantly, "Three years ago, the leader of the Anbu, Danzō, wanted to capture me and use me as a test subject. Do you think Sandaime-sama knows about this?"
She didn't wait for Hatake Kakashi to speak and continued, "I guess he doesn't know. But didn't he hear anything about it? Then I don't believe it. "
Hatake Kakashi frowned, "Danzō even attacked Konoha's ninja?"
Yumi Hinata was stunned, "So, Konoha has been conducting human experiments, but they haven't used their own people? Prisoners of war? Spies? Or war orphans? "
An indescribable silence spread between the two of them.
After a while, Yumi Hinata stood up, "Disgusting."
She left.
That night, Hatake Kakashi was haunted by nightmares again. Yumi Hinata, who was separated by a wall, was awakened from her sleep by his heavy breathing. She couldn't help but roll her eyes.
He had been like this occasionally in the past year, but it seemed to be especially serious tonight.
Yumi Hinata could understand. With his experience, he might have exhausted all his strength to live normally. Although it was difficult to call it "living normally".
Hatake Kakashi was too standard a ninja. He completely treated himself as a tool.
It was as if the youthful frivolity of a teenager never existed. After spending more than a year with the current Kakashi, Hyuga Yumi asked herself how much she understood him. He was like … a dead man.
A dead man with no future, no dreams, no plans, and no desires.
In this world, even if Yumi Hinata was busy studying Jutsu and practicing Ninjutsu, she still had to go out, overcome all difficulties, and seize the time to eat, drink, and enjoy the scenery. But Hatake Kakashi was different. His emotions were too superficial. If Yumi Hinata asked him to go with her, he would go. If no one asked, he would practice or be in a daze.
The only thing that could really hurt him was the words Uchiha Zetsu. Even today, when he spoke ill of Konoha and the Hokage, he was angry. But his anger had nothing to do with it. He still treated Yumi Hinata as the mission client, as if his own likes and dislikes didn't matter.
In this cruel world, sympathy and pity for life itself was too extravagant. It was as extravagant as a ghost. Everyone had heard of it, but no one had seen it.
She felt that Konoha was disgusting, but wasn't she disgusting?
No, Yumi Hinata felt that she was disgusting too.
The only difference between her and others was that she still had the concept of "me". Even if she couldn't fight against the world, she knew what a real person should be like. She knew what a good world should be like.
Even if it was just her own imagination.
But she rarely thought about it. If she thought too much, it was easy to not be able to sleep, especially in the middle of the night.
Hatake Kakashi's voice became more painful.
Hyuga Yumi slammed her fist on the floor. "You're so noisy, Kakashi!"
The voice next door suddenly stopped. After a moment, Hatake Kakashi said: "Sorry, you can go back to sleep."
His voice had completely returned to normal.
Yumi Hinata sighed: "To be honest, Kakashi, when I release the Caged Bird and return to the other world, do you want to kill Zetsu or be killed by him?"
Hatake Kakashi said softly: "What are you talking about, Zetsu is … Konoha's traitor."
Yumi Hinata couldn't see Hatake Kakashi's expression, but his voice seemed to have a painful power. She put her hands behind her head: "If I can't tell what you're thinking after being together for so long, then you think too highly of yourself, Kakashi."
After a long time, if Yumi Hinata couldn't hear Hatake Kakashi's breathing, she would have thought that he had fallen asleep.
Hatake Kakashi said: "Zetsu might have betrayed because of me."
Yumi Hinata thought for a moment: "No, I might have forgotten to tell you, but Zetsu told me that it was because of Lin's death. You think too highly of yourself."
Hatake Kakashi: "I killed Lin."
Hatake Kakashi: "Maybe he knows about it. I think that's the only reason."
"…" Yumi Hinata held her breath for half a minute, not knowing what to say. In the end, she could only list this topic as a taboo in her heart. She didn't want to ask why at all: "It's still a long time before dawn, let's go to sleep."
Hatake Kakashi's breathing was calm, but Yumi Hinata knew that he was definitely not asleep.
Yumi Hinata was also not asleep. She began to seriously consider whether she should take the risk of Hatake Kakashi's betrayal and joining Zetsu's Armageddon Squad as a serious precaution.
Another year later, the Kaguya clan that used to be one of the biggest clans in the Shinobi World had disappeared. No one could survive under the attack of more than a dozen Shinobi clans, not to mention that the arrogant and paranoid Kaguya clan loved to make enemies and had no allies.
After Hyuga Yumi entrusted the last three Jutsu combinations to the Uzumaki Clan, she was also in a state of relief for a short period of time.
After the daily routine of Taijutsu training, Yumi Hinata pressed Kakashi to the ground and praised him: "You're really good, your Taijutsu is improving very fast, but your strength is still too weak."
Hatake Kakashi rubbed his arms and stood up: "No, it's because you're too strong, whether it's your wrist or leg."
Yumi Hinata laughed: "In any case, physical strengthening will also help the growth of Chakra. Guy doesn't know many ninjutsu, but his Chakra is at least three times more than yours, and he relies on his physical strength. Since you have the Sharingan and can use Chakra, you should pay more attention to this aspect. "
Hatake Kakashi nodded: "If I go back, I have to open all my acupoints like when I came here, right?"
"Yes," Yumi Hinata said, "So if you can increase your Chakra a little, you can suffer less."
Yumi Hinata looked at the sun: "It's the appointed time, I'll go and see what the Uzumaki clan's people think about it, and whether they want to take my job or not."
Since the Uzumaki clan regards sealing techniques as their specialty, they will naturally keep it strictly confidential from outsiders.
If Yumi Hinata commissions them to make a sealing scroll or something like that, there's no need to think about it. But she gave a task to the Uzumaki clan, which is obviously a difficult problem to solve in the process of solving some problems.
Since he had solved this problem for her, it was no different from teaching her the Sealing Technique.
So at that time, the Uzumaki clan's people who accepted the task said that they can't take it, but Yumi Hinata repeatedly increased the price, so they went back to ask for instructions. Today is the day they agreed to tell her the result.
The Uzumaki clan's stronghold in Chaotian city is an ordinary house. As soon as Yumi Hinata approached, she found Chakra that doesn't belong to the Uzumaki clan. It feels like … it's Yasuji's?
She pushed the door open and entered. Waiting for her was a boy with byakugan eyes. He looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. He had the traditional delicate and indifferent appearance of the Hyuga family. His long hair was parted in the middle, and there was no headband. She could see the caged bird mark on his forehead. He looked strangely familiar.
Yumi Hinata always wears a bamboo hat to cover her white eyes. The boy is holding the scroll that she gave to the Uzumaki clan with three techniques written on it. When he sees her, he says, "Are you also from the Yasuji clan?"
Yumi Hinata frowns, feeling that things are getting complicated. She takes off her bamboo hat and says, "Didn't I entrust this task to the Uzumaki clan? Leak my information? "
The boy says, "I'm also a member of the Uzumaki clan now, so it's not considered leaking the client's information. Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before? "
Yumi Hinata says, "You haven't seen a lot of things. How old are you? How much do you know about Yasuji?"
This statement fooled the boy. He no longer entangled in this question, but raised his hand to show the scroll in his hand, "Are you studying the caged bird?"
This time Yumi Hinata is really a little angry, "What, you sent yourself to the door to let the Uzumaki study your caged bird?"
But that's not right, she knows the structure of the caged bird because she used Chakra to probe Hyuga Suigetsu's brain repeatedly.
But to be able to do this without damaging the brain and not turning people into idiots with Chakra, she's not bragging. Although Hashirama is strong, he may not be able to do it, let alone others. She hasn't heard of any great masters in the Uzumaki clan.
"I didn't!" The youth said angrily, "You're the one who's too careless. Uzumaki Akiyoshi told me that the combination of these tactics might have an effect similar to the Caged Bird. That's why I came over to see what's going on."
What, she learned it from the beginning for two or three years, he can see what's going on at a glance. Hyuga Yumi stammered, "Now that you've seen it, will Uzumaki accept this mission or not?"
The boy says, "With me here, they will definitely take it. Although I don't know how you extracted the key technique of the caged bird, you're studying how to release the caged bird, right? "
Yumi Hinata nods.
The boy says, "Then, when your research is successful, give me a copy, I can reduce your fee by half."
Yumi Hinata can't help but say, "I've already given it to you, and you still have the nerve to ask for money?"
The boy shyly scratches his face, "Oh, I also came to know that the Uzumaki clan is very poor. They said that your research is particularly difficult. They said that even the elders have to study it for a few months before they can find a result. This will certainly be of great help to improve your sealing technique. If it weren't for me and the Byakugan in the future, they definitely wouldn't take this kind of task that reveals their skills. "
Yumi Hinata thinks for a moment, "Well, according to my idea, this should be a reverse sealing technique. When I succeed, I will use it on you. As for whether the Uzumaki clan can restore it or not, it depends on their ability." But they have the ability to restore the sealing technique, but they don't have the ability to explore the sealing technique from the brain. Otherwise, with this Yasuji boy, they would have already studied it.
The boy nods, "No problem."
Since the discussion has been reached, Yumi Hinata plans to leave, but before she leaves, she suddenly remembers, "By the way, who should I look for next time? Directly to you? "
The boy says, "Yes, my name is Yasuji Youmu."
Yumi Hinata is startled, nodded and left.
She finally knew why this young man looked so familiar. If she took a closer look, wasn't he very similar to her father who had passed away early?
