Although Uchiha Zetsu said that he was "confident that the 'Caged Bird' curse technique was not leaked," Yumi Hinata was certainly not that naive. She had checked the genealogy of the Hyuga family (secretly, the branch family was not qualified to see this kind of confidential information), and the recorded history went all the way back to the era of myths and legends.
Perhaps it was due to the fact that the "Caged Bird" had been introduced in an unknown period of time, but there had never been a branch family that was out of control. However, anything could happen in the thousands of years of history. After all, less than ten years ago, there was an incident where the eyes of a direct descendant of the main family had been taken away. He couldn't even keep his own eyes, let alone an inanimate spell scroll.
It's just that Yumi Hinata always had a glimmer of hope that no one jumped out to control the Yasuji branch family for so many years. Even if someone did steal the curse technique, they would have already died in the years of war.
Now that this glimmer of hope was shattered, Yumi Hinata had to carry out her backup plan B – killing Orochimaru and seizing the information about the 'Edo Tensei' technique.
After Orochimaru was discovered by the Third Hokage to be conducting human experiments and defecting, Yumi Hinata, who was still part of the regular ninja force at that time, was ordered to cooperate with the Anbu to seize many of his laboratories. Although she was not an Anbu, the Hyuga family was a famous family in Konoha, and she was known for her "naivety and kindness," so the Third Hokage believed that she would not be confused by the strange power in the laboratory. Moreover, the other Hyuga family members working in the Anbu combined were not as good as her detection ability.
As the only non-Abu member present at the time, Yumi Hinata's performance was indeed perfect. She expressed strong disgust and fear of the inhumane human experiments in the laboratory, cracked all the hidden ninjutsu traps, found all the hidden secret rooms and information, and never mentioned to anyone that she had participated in the operation.
And Hyuga Yumi, who had been secretly planning to escape from the "Caged Bird", also benefited a lot. Although she didn't do anything suspicious, even if she stood far away, as long as she opened the Byakugan, she would be able to see much more than what others imagined. Although the scroll was closed and the content couldn't be seen directly because it wasn't a flat surface, just the surface of the scroll revealed a lot.
In Orochimaru's research, what she valued the most was the almost complete 'Living Corpse Reincarnation' and the incomplete 'Edo Tensei'.
The 'Living Corpse Reincarnation' referred to putting one's soul into another person's body and taking it as one's own. It was said that Orochimaru intended to use this as a means to pursue immortality, and most of his cruel experiments were carried out to develop this technique.
The 'Caged Bird' of the Hyuga family controlled the nervous system of the entire brain through the curse mark on the forehead. In the end, it worked on the body. If the body was changed, there would be no carrier, and the 'Caged Bird' would collapse.
But the side effects of this technique were too great. On one hand, it was unbearable cruelty. On the other hand, it was a rejection reaction that even Orochimaru could not solve. This meant that the 'Living Corpse Reincarnation' user was doomed to live in another sense.
Yumi Hinata felt that if the ethical issues were not considered, the technique would probably be perfect if it could clone a person's body. But obviously, this world did not have such a level of technology. Even the earth in her previous life did not have such a level of technology. How could life be so easy to create?
The third shortcoming was only for Yumi Hinata herself. Although she had a strong learning ability and could use hundreds of ninjutsu, her proficiency and power were not comparable to her own taijutsu. She had been training since the age of five. On the surface, she looked ordinary and slender on the surface, but in fact, her skin was copper and her bones were iron. If she casually changed her body, it would be good if she still had 30% of her abilities.
And Yumi Hinata was concerned about the Edo Tensei. That was another way of thinking. She did not believe that the Hyuga family with so many years of history had never considered what would happen if an outsider obtained the control spell.
Time was tight that night, and Hinata Hinata was stubborn. Yumi Hinata could not force him to answer. But if she could use the Edo Tensei to summon Hinata's soul back, and it was said that the Edo Tensei could completely control the people in the Edo Tensei, then whether it was coercion or temptation, there would be a chance.
Even if she could not directly remove the 'Caged Bird', it would be good to reduce the pain when the spell was activated. Then, she would have a chance to directly attack and interrupt the spell, or even kill him.
"So, how long are you going to sit here?"
In a hole deep in the soil one kilometer below the Orochimaru base, Ah Tai licked his claws and acted like a spoiled child to Yumi Hinata. "I dug such a long tunnel. I'm so tired."
"We have to wait for Orochimaru to leave his laboratory. Then I will kill him, and you will steal the information." In the face of an opponent like the "Sannin", Yumi Hinata was certainly prepared for failure. She rummaged through her ninja bag. "The black-winged termites are gone. How about the yellow-winged ones?"
"The yellow-winged ones are not brittle enough … but they will do." Ah Tai held the pangolin nutrient pack that Yumi Hinata released from the scroll. "Konoha is more versatile. Forget it, I will try to get used to it."
While Ah Tai was eating, Yumi Hinata was focused on the scene in the base above. A person who looked very much like Orochimaru but was a little different had been in the laboratory for more than 18 hours. Yumi Hinata had also been waiting for him underground for 18 hours. In addition, there were 30 to 40 people in the base, most of them were locked in cages or soaked in water. They must be his experimental subjects. There were five or six people who could move freely and were suspected to be Orochimaru's subordinates. Judging from the strength of Chakra, they were not worth mentioning, but they still had to be careful of some of the mysterious users.
After a while, Yumi Hinata suddenly became alert. "Orochimaru has left the laboratory."
Ah Tai directly poured the remaining half of the pack of termites into its mouth and threw the bag away. After Yumi Hinata attached to its abdomen with Chakra, it quietly dug out the rocks and soil above its head with its sharp claws and piled up the hard scales behind it.
In less than half an hour, with Yumi Hinata's guidance, Ah Tai had already dug a hole more than two meters below Orochimaru's bedroom. Any further and it would be a rock.
Yumi Hinata signaled it to stop and wrote on its scales, "The laboratory is at ten o 'clock. Take away everything with words." Then, she hung a huge cloth bag around its neck.
Ah Tai left in the direction of the laboratory. The Earth Dragon Stealth Technique and the Earth Dragon Stealth Technique were very useful in the soil, but they were a little weak against rocks. Yumi Hinata looked up and saw Orochimaru walking step by step towards the top of her head. She counted silently in her heart, "One, two, three!" Then, she suddenly punched out.
The gravel that burst out from the ground did not pose any threat to Orochimaru. Under the cover of the gravel, he either blocked or dodged the kunai that attacked him. Yumi Hinata's attacks came wave after wave, not giving Orochimaru a chance to form any hand seals. He only managed to block a few attacks before his bones were broken.
Until Orochimaru's neck suddenly stretched out and wrapped around Yumi Hinata's hand.
"Yumi Hinata … …" Orochimaru said playfully, "After escaping from Konoha with great difficulty, who ordered you to come here?"
The feeling of his neck could be said to be quite disgusting.
Yumi Hinata's kick flew out and forced Orochimaru to withdraw his neck. At the same time, she used the Thor's Mark that hit his shoulder during the exchange of fists and legs to teleport behind him. Then, she used the wind attribute Chakra to stab him.
"Of course, it's your old boss, 'Akatsuki'." Yumi Hinata said.
Orochimaru suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Thor? That's really surprising … … "
Then, his head tilted, and he breathed his last.
Yumi Hinata softly sighed. How to say it, Orochimaru was indeed a kage level expert. Under her sneak attack, he did not have any chance to use his exquisite ninjutsu. His genjutsu was also restrained by her Byakugan. This was fine, after all, for her, relying on high-speed close-range attacks to not give her opponent any chance to form any hand seals was her specialty.
However, the taijutsu he used to deal with the enemy should be the most insignificant part of his abilities. But under the situation where his strength and speed were completely suppressed, he was still able to rely on his super fast reaction and decades of combat experience to exchange dozens of moves with her.
If not for this unexpected Thor, even if she could defeat him, she would not be able to kill him.
As for now, the wind element Chakra that she attached to her hand blade almost tore half of his body apart.
Yumi Hinata crouched down and wanted to remove the Air Ring from Orochimaru's hand. Suddenly, she froze for a moment. She lifted Orochimaru's torn clothes and gasped. She could not help but respect the person on the ground – this was clearly a woman's body.
She thought that he, no, she … … no, it was still him. His appearance changed because he used a ninjutsu to hide his appearance to avoid being hunted down. But it turned out that he simply changed his body.
This was probably the Living Corpse Reincarnation technique that he had been researching for a long time. It turned out that he had already put it into practice so quickly.
This kind of spirit that directly rushed towards the goal of immortality, disregarding superfluous self-esteem and morals, was really admirable.
Yumi Hinata took back the dozens of Thor kunai that she threw at the beginning and rushed towards the laboratory. On the way, she opened the cages that held the test subjects. Interestingly, a few of Orochimaru's subordinates also seemed to be working as test subjects. Or perhaps they were test subjects themselves? When they tried to stop her, they resorted to all sorts of strange tricks.
The test subjects' reactions were also very strange. Some turned a blind eye and squatted by the wall in a daze after the cell door was opened. Some of them immediately went to fight with other test subjects after they were released, and some even tried to kill her.
Yumi Hinata was in a hurry to go to the laboratory with Ah Tai to search for information, so she did not have time to deal with them. She kicked away all the test subjects who attacked her. She did not know whether they were dead or not, but she did not encounter anyone who could attack her a second time. The only one who could attack her a second time was a child who looked less than ten years old. She casually kicked away the person who attacked him and stuffed a handful of kunai into his mouth.
"Come on!" Yumi Hinata smiled. When she was about to continue to the laboratory without looking back, the child suddenly rushed at her, "Where is Orochimaru -sama? What did you do to Orochimaru -sama?! "
Hyuga Yumi reflexively gave him a kick. The child smashed a deep hole in the wall and slowly slid to the ground. He spat out blood as he crawled towards Hyuga Yumi. As he crawled, a long bone extended from his wrist.
"Tsk." Yumi Hinata took a step back, "Kaguya clan."
Although this clan has always been a paranoid and crazy character in the legend, seeing such a small child like this, even if she was used to seeing child soldiers in World War III, Hyuga Yumi could never adapt to the ninja's habit of using children as weapons and opponents.
But she couldn't do anything and couldn't help anyone. In the past ten years of her ninja career, she had proven this to herself many times. The only thing she could do was to take care of herself and walk away quietly.
After Yumi Hinata left with dozens of pounds of scrolls, a wet, brand-new Orochimaru slowly crawled out of the mouth of Orochimaru's corpse in the bedroom.
"Yumi Hinata, Byakugan, Thor …" He hissed like a snake. "What a pity. With the Caged Bird, her body can't be used as a container."
Before leaving Konoha, Yumi Hinata, who was known as a genius, had caught his attention. But the Caged Bird was a weakness that could offset all advantages, and the Byakugan was not as powerful as the Sharingan. After so many years, he had only seen one Yumi Hinata.
But the Uchiha clan was different. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that there were geniuses from generation to generation, especially Uchiha Itachi.
Thinking of the boy in the intelligence report, Orochimaru licked his lips a few times.
But he was still under Konoha's protection, which was really troublesome.
As for the Byakugan, Orochimaru thought that even if it was just an ordinary Byakugan, it would be good as a backup container. The Caged Bird was indeed troublesome, but he heard that the main family had two children. Yumi Hinata killed the main family and the elders before leaving Konoha, which was wonderful. The two children would soon grow up, become ninjas, and leave Konoha to do missions. At that time …
As for Yumi Hinata, a body with the potential to learn Thor, its value was different from that of an ordinary "genius". If he could solve the Caged Bird …
