Before going to the Water Country to find Zetsu,
Yumi Hinata had to send Hatake Kakashi back to Konoha first, and then fulfill her promise to engrave the Caged Bird Reverse Seal on Hyuga Suigetsu and Hinata Yasuji.
Lantern Full Moon was also a little hesitant to go back to the Water Country with her.
If Zetsu and Uchiha Zetsu were both injured, they would choose to cultivate in the Water Country.
That is likely to be as Yumi Hinata had speculated before.
They have an inside line in the Water Country. With Uchiha Zetsu's Mangekyou Sharingan, this is not difficult. And the Water Country may be their nest.
So when Lantern Full Moon escaped,
He placed his brother and clan in an extremely remote mountain village and then led the pursuers away.
Is that mountain village really as isolated as he thought? With Zetsu's detection ability,
If they had already targeted the Hozuki clan, then would he not know the whereabouts of the others? Unless he doesn't care about this.
Lantern Full Moon wanted to confirm their safety.
But in the Water Country, he is a dead man known to everyone.
Once he appears, he will be hunted down. Will his whereabouts expose the whereabouts of his brother and clan?
Since the Fourth Mizukage took office a few years ago, many Kekkei Genkai ninjas died in large numbers, or were excluded from the core of power, or were accused of false charges for various reasons.
More and more people died year by year, and fewer and fewer people survived year by year.
His behavior seemed to be necessary in the process of gathering power, but Lantern Full Moon occasionally saw the Fourth Mizukage, he saw his dark eyes.
He always felt that there was a deep hatred hidden in them.
"Will you go to the Water Country with me?" Yumi Hinata asked.
Lantern Full Moon hesitated for a moment.
But he still shook his head: "No, if I appear in the Water Country, it will bring danger to my clan, and I don't have the ability to take them all out of the Water Country."
Yumi Hinata felt a little regretful, whether it was the Country of Water or Kirin.
They all pursued the principle of secrecy, and very little information spread to the outside world.
She couldn't even recognize the road.
He did need a guide.
However, Lantern Full Moon was telling the truth.
Not to mention the small country of Kirin, she could even go to the strongest village of the five major villages, Cloud Village. However, it would be different if she had to bring ten old, weak, and sick people with her. Including her and Full Moon, the two of them could only bring three or four people out of the Water Nation in one piece. After all, Thor could not teleport long distances.
"Then I'll set off tomorrow. What do you plan to do next?"
Lantern Full Moon thought for a moment. "I'll probably … be a Nōnin? No, actually, I just want to walk around and take a look at the world and the people in the world. "
"Almost everyone I know is a ninja." Lantern Full Moon said, "I want to see how other people live."
She wanted to see how people who were not ninjas lived, what they liked, what they needed, what they were worried about, and what they were passionate about.
Yumi Hinata seemed to have said that people had to know what they wanted first and what they would face after each choice. Only in this situation could one make a truly free choice.
Lantern Full Moon wanted to learn how to be a person other than a ninja, and then choose whether to become a ninja or not.
"That's not a Nōnin, you're going to be a traveler." Yumi Hinata said.
"A traveler?" Lantern Full Moon said in surprise. "Me?"
"Yes, you just said that you want to see other places and other people's lives. Isn't that what a traveler does?" Yumi Hinata smiled. "You can write a diary. Maybe it'll be published. I see that bookstores also sell all kinds of travel books. With your strength, you can definitely go to places that others can't go and see things that others can't. Writing a travel book will definitely be very popular. "
"Oh, right." She added, "I heard that Jiraiya -sama is a writer, the kind who writes books while traveling. But I don't know if his books sell well."
The next morning, Yumi Hinata set off with Hatake Kakashi on her back. Before Lantern Full Moon parted with her, he hesitated for a moment and reached out to pat her on the shoulder.
Yumi Hinata subconsciously wanted to dodge, but she restrained herself.
"You …" He didn't know what he wanted to say, but in the end, he only said one sentence. "Don't die."
For a rebellious ninja, for someone who was about to set off against a strong enemy, this was indeed the most practical and important blessing. Yumi Hinata nodded. "Yes. You too. There are still many good things in this world that you haven't eaten, beautiful scenery that you haven't seen, and friends that you haven't made. If you die, you will suffer a great loss. "
Lantern Full Moon stood at the entrance of the hotel, watching Yumi Hinata's back as she turned into a small black dot and disappeared in a few seconds. For a moment, he felt a little sad and a little happy. He felt that his heart was heavy and empty. Such complicated emotions were beyond the scope of his past 17 years of life experience. The anticipation for the journey that was about to begin soon covered everything.
Speaking of which, it was probably the first time for him to look forward to the unknown so intensely.
Hatake Kakashi, who was lying on Yumi Hinata's back, followed her through the forest. After a while, probably because he was bored, he asked her, "Is Lantern Full Moon your friend?"
"Yes." Yumi Hinata answered simply.
Hatake Kakashi was a little surprised.
Yumi Hinata added, "You can say that. He saved me, and I can be considered to have saved him as well. No matter what, we should be friends. "
Hatake Kakashi said, "It's quite rare for you."
"Is that so?" Yumi Hinata didn't think so. "I have quite a few friends. Khai, Genma, Ah Tai …"
"…" Hatake Kakashi said, "Do you have to include all the summoned beasts?"
Yumi Hinata was very dissatisfied. "Oh, and you too."
Hatake Kakashi immediately choked.
"If you don't turn against me after Zetsu's death." Yumi Hinata added.
"… I won't." Hatake Kakashi said softly. He had the urge to sigh again. "I know what Zetsu did, and I can't expect others to forgive him. I just … I have no choice … I have to confirm his thoughts." In the end, he could only say so.
After Hatake Kakashi returned, he contacted Konoha. Under his guidance, Yumi Hinata met the people who were going to meet her at Konoha's outpost.
Konoha probably wanted to show his friendliness and sent people he knew. The person who led the team to ensure Kakashi's safety was Sarutobi Asuma, and a medical ninja who taught her during World War III, Mitsuki.
Yumi Hinata placed Hatake Kakashi on a chair and let Mitsuki examine his body.
"The Chakra circuit in his body has been torn, and most of them are secondary tears." Mitsuki quickly concluded. "He needs to rest for at least half a year before he can try to extract Chakra again."
Yumi Hinata added, "It's better to rest for nine to ten months, but you can't stop extracting Chakra. Otherwise, it's easy to leave behind sequelae."
Hatake Kakashi nodded, indicating that he would listen to her. After all, the Byakugan could see the Chakra circuit buried deep in the body more accurately than any instrument. Moreover, he had already recovered once under Yumi Hinata's guidance. At the very least, he didn't feel anything wrong for more than a year.
A masked Anbu ninja stepped forward. "According to your request, Hyuga Suigetsu and Hinata Yasuji are waiting for you in the inn in Bunka Street."
Hyuga Yumi nodded and turned around, intending to leave.
Sarutobi Asuma quietly finished smoking a cigarette and said, "Are you not coming back in the future?"
Yumi Hinata smiled.
Sarutobi Asuma thought for a moment and said, "Alright." After all, he was still in the rebellious period when he ran away from home. This time, he accepted this mission because his old man found out about it when he went back to the village to see his girlfriend. Of course, he didn't think there was anything good about Konoha.
This kind of attitude was extremely rare. Yumi Hinata looked at Asuma again and said softly, "Send my regards to them."
Sarutobi Asuma put his hands in his pockets. "Who are you referring to?"
"Everyone." Yumi Hinata said and then left without looking back.
Sarutobi Asuma lit another cigarette behind her. He was a little envious.
Yumi Hinata quickly found the two people in Bunka Street.
Before starting the sealing technique, Yumi Hinata first told them that Danzō was very interested in the Byakugan and that he had made a move on her.
"Do you know what this means?" Yumi Hinata said, "If your Caged Bird is sealed, then at the same time, your Byakugan will have no protection, even in Konoha. Of course, I saw that Danzō had made a move on me before, so maybe he didn't care about the Caged Bird. And it's not just Danzō. Think about what happened a few years ago. There is no lack of people everywhere who are interested in this. "
The first to express his opinion was only seven years old Hinata Yasuji, "It doesn't matter even if I die." He said, "I don't want to be like my father, who can't escape from the Caged Bird's shackles until he dies."
Yumi Hinata glanced at him. He was so young, how could he know what life and death was? Maybe he would feel that he was right at this moment, or maybe fate was far from giving up on destroying him. What would he think at that time?
"Suigetsu, what do you think?"
"Me too." Hyuga Suigetsu said concisely, "And I will report what you said to Sandaime-sama. I believe that Sandaime-sama won't sit idly by. "
Won't he? Yumi Hinata had no confidence in this. But she didn't say anything, she just motioned them to lie down, she wanted to seal them at the same time.
Three days later, Yumi Hinata arrived at the port of the Land of Hot Water, and waited for another ten days for the cargo ship to transport supplies to the Land of Water.
Of course, she could find a ship by herself, but not at the agreed time, and not on the agreed ship. Any ship near the port of the Land of Water will be sunk before it reaches the shore. Yumi Hinata didn't care, but she didn't know how to distinguish the route, and she didn't know how to row the ship, so the captain and sailors would be finished.
After hiding on the ship for a few days, when the Land of Water docked, Yumi Hinata used Chakra to attach herself to the ceiling of the cabin, and planned to leave at night. Then, she watched as a thin stream of water flowed by their feet, gradually converging in a warehouse that had already been packed, and turned into a human figure.
It was a very young child, maybe only six or seven years old, but the short hair, the eyes, and the water transformation technique, these characteristics were too obvious. Yumi Hinata thought for a moment, and still dived down to poke open the door of the warehouse.
She locked the door behind her. "Come out."
Boxes were stacked on top of each other in the warehouse, and wooden barrels were stacked on top of each other, it was quiet. Yumi Hinata suddenly felt that it was very troublesome, but she had just admitted that Lantern Full Moon was her friend a few days ago, and it didn't seem right to leave a kid who ran away from his friend's home alone at this time.
Of course, she could find the person, but it was too troublesome. Yumi Hinata said directly, "If you don't come out, I'll call for help."
Before she finished speaking, a stream of water suddenly shot out from the left side, Yumi Hinata turned her head sideways to avoid it, and saw a small hole in the wall of the cabin.
"Sure." As she spoke, she raised her hand and grabbed a small hand that was holding a kunai that was stabbing at her, and pulled it in front of her to take a closer look. Sure enough, it looked very similar to Lantern Full Moon, except for the difference in size, it could be said that it was exactly the same.
Yumi Hinata's small hand that was grabbing it softened, and it was about to turn into water. She smiled slightly, and instantly released thunder Chakra from her palm. The child's eyes widened in an instant, and just as he was about to cry out in pain, Yumi Hinata decisively pressed her other hand on his mouth, and a moment later asked, "Have you calmed down?"
The child nodded with his mouth covered, and looked at her with a very cold gaze.
Yumi Hinata didn't care, and put him on the ground. "Are you Lantern Full Moon's brother?"
The child asked, "Who are you?"
"You can barely be considered as Lantern Full Moon's friend." Yumi Hinata said, "I'm asking you a question."
"Liar, he doesn't have any friends." The child said.
Yumi Hinata was speechless for a moment. "Then take it that I'm lying." She felt that she had nothing to do, and the ship would leave in two hours. She didn't directly use the Thor mark that she left last time to teleport away, because she was afraid that someone who was good at tracking Chakra would block the ship. Since this kid could sneak in, the security probably wouldn't be that strict.
"Since you're not, then you can stay here, I'm leaving." Yumi Hinata put her hand on the door handle. "By the way, Lantern Full Moon has left the Land of Hot Water to travel, it might not be easy to find him if you want to find him."
In the end, the child screamed, "He's still alive?!"
Yumi Hinata didn't have time to cover his mouth, and could only grab his arm and teleport to the vicinity of the Thor mark that she left on the shore last time. She opened her Byakugan to sense it, and a series of teleportations, in the blink of an eye, they were deep into the Land of Water, and finally found a place where there was no one in the visible range of her Byakugan.
The child blinked, as if he still didn't understand what was going on.
