In the Country of Fire, in the forest about dozens of miles away from the northeastern border, a group of four people were rushing toward the northeast.
Three of the jounin were wearing Kumogakure's forehead protectors, and among the three was a ninja whose body was bound by a rope. It was Hinata Hizashi who was pretending to be Hinata Hizashi.
"Hurry up. We will reach the border in a few dozen miles. Lord Raikage has sent someone to meet us there."
The leader, a Kumogakure jounin, spoke.
"Um."
"You walk faster!" Another Kumogakure jounin pushed Hinata Hizashi and told him to walk faster with a bad attitude.
"Hey, Chloe, don't be like this. This is the leader of the Hyuga clan after all. Don't treat him like this." The leader, Kumogakure Jounin, quickly stopped his companion's behavior.
"A prisoner has gone to Yunyin, how could he still..."
The Jonin named Chloe looked a little disdainful, because in his opinion Konoha would never agree to hand over the head of the Hyuga clan, but Konoha relented. Obviously the losses caused to Konoha by the three wars were greater than Everyone imagined it was much bigger, otherwise why would Konoha compromise.
"Enough!" the leader Kumogakure Jōnin sternly scolded, then pulled Chloe aside and reminded in a low voice: "Although Konoha has compromised, don't forget that this is still within the Land of Fire, and there are things everywhere. Konoha's secret sentry can kill the three of us at any time if Konoha regrets it. It's not a big deal if we die, and if the Raikage-sama becomes supercilious, this plan will completely fail."
In fact, they could choose to dig out the eyes of the 'Hyuuga Clan Leader' as soon as they left Konoha, but it would be too obvious.
Moreover, they are not medical ninjas and do not know medical ninjutsu. If the meridians around the eyeballs are damaged during the eye-gouging process, or the white eyes are necrotic due to poor preservation, then they will have paid the price of three jounin this time. .
Of course, on the other hand, they also gave Konoha a little face, at least waiting until they took the Hyuga clan leader out of the Land of Fire before taking action, so as not to touch the fragile nerves of the Hyuga clan again.
When they were eliminated, dozens or hundreds of Hyuga clan members wanted to eat them alive.
"I got it..." Chloe was obviously still a little dissatisfied, but she also knew not to humiliate the Hyuga clan leader too much and challenge Konoha's bottom line. Although in his opinion, Konoha is a weakling and there is no bottom line, but he still closed his eyes. On the lips.
The group of four maintained their current speed and rushed on their way non-stop.
An hour later, the stone monument standing beside the border of the Kingdom of Fire came into view.
"Where are the people sent by Lord Raikage to help?" Chloe looked around.
"It should be not far ahead, so hurry up." The leader, Kumogakure Jōnin, reminded him. At first, he was still taking his time. Now he is about to leave the Country of Fire, and their third generation Raikage will After getting a white eye, his strength increased to a higher level, and his emotions became excited.
"Let's go!" Another Kumogakure jounin urged Hinata Hizashi.
Hinata Hizashi looked calm and unfazed, and walked forward with his head held high.
When he goes beyond the border, he will use chakra to impact the Cage Bird Curse Seal imprinted on his brain. At that time, the leaders of the Hyuga Clan in Konoha will activate the Cage Bird and completely destroy his brain and eyeballs.
Seeing his demeanor, even Chloe, who despised Konoha, couldn't help but look at the Hyuga clan leader.
Being able to face death with such a calm expression and without fear is not something that every ninja can do.
In particular, he is also the head of the Hyuga clan, one of the two most powerful families in Konoha. He holds a high position and once became a prisoner, he still maintains this kind of demeanor. It is hard not to admire him.
If he is determined not to go to Kumogakure, Konoha may have to fight Kumogakure for the Hyuga clan, which is not the purpose of their trip.
After all, for someone like the Hyuga clan leader to choose to sacrifice himself in order to avoid war, it is indeed the weakness of Konoha's top brass, but it is also due to his own dedication.
It would be great if such a person had a bloody clan leader, and such a powerful ninja clan belonged to Kumo Gakuin.
"Mr. Hizu, please." Chloe changed her previous attitude and motioned for Hinata and Hizashi to leave first.
"Yeah." Hinata almost nodded and walked forward.
It was a path to death, but for him, it was also a path to freedom.
Rumble~
Just when a few people were about to walk out of the Fire Country's border, the entire forest floor began to tremble.
"what happened?!"
"careful!"
"A ninja from Konoha?"
The three people in Kumogakure were immediately shocked. They didn't expect the ninjas of Konoha to go back on their word and take action when they were about to leave the border.
Hinata Hizashi looked stunned, a little confused. He didn't think the village would come to save him at this time, because he knew the people of the clan.
Except for his brother Nizu who might be really sad about his death, other clan ninjas would not take risks for him, a mere branch ninja.
At this time, the ground began to be squeezed out by new green saplings. In an instant, these palm-sized green saplings quickly grew into large trees as thick as a person's arms.
The big tree squirmed quickly like a living creature, surrounding the originally dense forest. Even the space above was blocked, forming a closed space formed by the trees. The originally clear sky had disappeared, and the entire The space became dark and visibility was extremely low.
Wood Escape·Tree Realm is coming!
boom!
The thick tree trunk whipped towards the three Kumogakure jounin like tentacles, and the three quickly dodged within the limited space.
The tree trunk containing chakra is fundamentally different from an ordinary big tree. Its hardness is comparable to that of a metal weapon, and it leaves a big crater the moment it hits the ground.
Huge noises continued to resound in the confined space of the trees.
"Is this the legendary Wood Release?!"
However, the three Kumogakure Jōnin were dodging in embarrassment. Soon they discovered something was wrong. Hinata Hizashi, who was standing in the center, was motionless and had no intention of evading. However, these thick tree trunks that were attacking them could He avoided Hinata Hizashi's position time and time again, and in many cases the distance between him and Hinata Hizashi was less than ten centimeters.
"Quick! Go to the hostages!" After the leader Kumogakure discovered the problem, he immediately signaled to his companions.
Originally they just guessed that someone from Konoha had gone back on their word, but now they were absolutely sure that it was someone from Konoha who did it.
Because after the death of the first Hokage, the ninja god, it seems that the only person in the ninja world who can use wood escape today is the first Hokage's grandson, Noju.
"Damn Konoha!"
The three of them cursed secretly and quickly ran in the direction of Hinata Hizashi.
However, just as they set off, they suddenly found that their eyes suddenly went dark.
This was completely different from the original feeling of being unable to see clearly due to low visibility. It was like the eyes were completely blind, and a frightening darkness appeared.
Immediately afterwards, the three of them felt silence around them, as if the entire space had become quiet, and it seemed as if they had suddenly lost their hearing.
"what happened?!"
The three of them wanted to shout, but found that they couldn't make any sound at all. At the same time, their bodies seemed to be unable to obey their orders.
boom!
The huge tree trunk fell suddenly, hitting the bodies of the three Kumogakure jounin when they were unconscious. The bodies of the three were instantly smashed and embedded deeply into the ground, and the blood soaked the large grassland.
At this time, a tall man covered in black robes and his entire head wrapped in a white mask appeared on the tree trunk. He was Bai Yu's first incarnation "Wood Spirit".
As time went by, Mu Ling became more and more skilled in controlling Mu Dun. At the same time, because he had excellent ninjutsu talent, he also learned some forbidden techniques that Bai Yu had obtained from the Book of Sealings.
Among them is the A-level illusion Darkness Technique developed by the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama. This is an advanced illusion developed by the Second Hokage specifically to deal with the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.
It can create a dark environment and block the opponent's vision.
In a dark environment, only the caster and teammates can see things in the environment and attack.
Under the influence of the spell, the enemy's vision will be hallucinated and all light will be taken away.
Based on his own needs and the Uchiha illusion experience gained from the incarnation of Uchiha Issei, Bai Yu further developed this illusion and upgraded it from a simple deprivation of vision to a deprivation of the five senses, causing vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch to be affected at the same time. Influence.
The new technique was named "Darkest" by Bai Yu, but currently it can only affect vision, hearing and touch, and has not yet truly reached the level of closing the five senses.
Moreover, Bai Yu is planning to combine this technique with the witch formation, but he has no clue yet.
Because of the innate talent of the wood spirit, he quickly learned the "darkest".
Because of Bai Yu's order, Mu Ling rushed from Yuyin Village to the Country of Fire. He found Hinata Hizashi early and followed him all the way through the Mayfly Technique. It wasn't until the four of them reached the border that he took action to kill Yunyin's Three jounin.
The tree trunk was like a pair of big hands, respectfully raising the Kodama spirit in front of Hinata Hizashi.
The tree trunks in the entire confined space trembled slowly, revealing some gaps at the top.
Through the faint light, Hinata Hizashi clearly saw the dress of the man in front of him: "Who are you? Why do you also use wood escape."
Hinata Hizashi had seen Nao Shu use Wood Release, and he knew that the person in front of him was definitely not Nao Shu.
The rope tree's wood escape is not yet able to reach this level, and it is not clear whether the person in front of him is an enemy or a friend.
"I'm here to save you." Mu Ling's deep and deep voice sounded.
"Save me?" Hinata Hizashi frowned: "I chose death voluntarily, and I don't need anyone to save me. You haven't answered my question yet, who are you? Why do you use Wood Release? Do you know I didn’t know that your behavior would probably cause a war between Konoha and Kumogakure.”
"Konoha treats you like this, and you still care about Konoha at this time." Konoha said calmly.
"Whether you want to provoke a war between Konoha and Kumogakure, or you want my Byakugan, I will not let you do it. As long as I die together with Kumogakure's ninjas, there is no reason for Kumogakure to Konoha attacks." With that, Hinata Hizashi gathered chakra to attack the caged bird seal in his brain.
Mu Ling asked: "What if...I can make you truly free?"
"Real freedom?" Hinata Hizashi was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Death is the only way to gain freedom for me."
"No, you are evading responsibility. Where is your son Neji? If he wants to pursue freedom, will he choose death like you?"
Mu Ling asked rhetorically.
Hearing Kodama mentioning Ningci, Hyuuga Hizashi's expression changed. He no longer had the calmness before, and said in a deep voice: "This is none of your business! Neji will understand me sooner or later."
"You are just deceiving yourself. How can dying with worries and regrets be regarded as freedom?" Kooling said solemnly: "Real freedom is to lift the curse of the caged bird and unite the separated ninjas in the Hyuga family. Resist this stupid and decadent system. Don’t you want your son Neji to eliminate hatred and gain freedom in this new living environment?”
"What did you say?! Lift the Caged Bird Curse Seal?" Hinata Hizashi looked surprised, and then said with a look of disbelief: "This is simply impossible. The Caged Bird Curse Seal has been around for hundreds of years and cannot be lifted at all."
"Just because the predecessors couldn't do it doesn't mean that the descendants can't do it." Kolling said firmly: "I have developed the secret technique to solve the Cage Bird Curse Seal, so I need to find a ninja from the Hyuga branch to cooperate. To confirm my conjecture.”
"You want me to cooperate with you in experiments?" Hinata Hizashi responded.
Kodama: "Don't you want to take revenge on the Hyuga clan? Do you really not hate this damn fate at all?"
Hinata Hizashi hesitated: "Why should I trust you?"
Mu Ling: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. I believe there will be other ninjas from other branches willing to cooperate with me in this experiment? There are always people who truly yearn for freedom and want to resist this fate. For example... you His son Neji."
"You threaten me?!" Hinata Hizashi's expression changed.
Mu Ling said calmly: "You have already chosen death and self-righteous freedom. Do you still care about what path Neji chooses? Or do you not even have the courage to explore the path for Neji?"
"I...I'll go with you!" Hinata Hizashi made a decision, and then said: "It's just that the attack on Kumogakure's envoy will soon be reported back to Konoha. In order to avoid suspicion, Konoha When this information is sent back to Konoha, the clan members will immediately activate the Caged Bird Curse Seal to kill me, and you don’t have much time."
"Since I came to you, I am naturally confident to solve this matter. As long as your chakra and curse seal are blocked, people in Hinata will think you are dead." Mu Ling said: "But from today on, Hinata will Chai is dead, and you will have to change your identity and your way of living in the future."
"Change a different way of living?" Hinata Hizashi murmured to himself, savoring Kodama's words.
Kodama threw a white spiral mask and a tube of potion at Hinata Hizashi.
"Put on the mask and drink the potion. This is your first step on the road to freedom."
Hinata Hizashi looked at the light green potion and white mask. Without any hesitation, he drank the potion and then put on the mask.
The next second, a heart-piercing pain spread throughout his body, and finally went into his brain.
"ah!"
Hinata Hizashi screamed and fell on his back, but was caught by the tree trunk and lifted to the front of the Kodama spirit.
Snapped!
Kodama clapped his hands, and the confined space formed by the huge trees quickly disappeared. The huge trees that grew shrunk at a speed visible to the naked eye, and retracted underground together with the corpse of the Kumogakure ninja.
Rumble~
As the ground trembled, the surrounding tree holes were filled in one after another.
When the ninjas from the Konoha outpost arrived at the scene, they only saw the blood stains left on the spot and nothing else.
...
In the last few days of Konoha's 51st year, the ninja world was very unstable.
First, the leader of the Kumogakure mission died in Konoha, and the murderer turned out to be Hinata Hizashi, the leader of the Hyuga clan.
Under pressure, the Hyuga clan handed over the 'Clan Leader', but when Kumogakure's envoys arrived at the border, they were attacked together with the Hyuga clan leader, leaving no body behind.
In response, Kumogakure issued a strong condemnation, while Konoha said it was not their fault because the 'Hyuuga Clan Leader' also disappeared.
Afterwards, after Konoha made some compromises on trade, the two sides shook hands and made peace.
But another major event shocked all the forces in the ninja world.
Shion, the shrine maiden of the Oni Kingdom, turned out to be the illegitimate daughter of Shiroha Yagami, the leader of the Uzumaki clan, and was kidnapped by the ninjas of Iwagakure Village. The third Tsuchikage Onoki publicly apologized and stated that he had no prior knowledge.
At the same time, in order to reconcile, he is willing to pay 500 million taels of funds as compensation to the Uzumaki clan, and also provide materials worth 1 billion.
He also expressed that Iwagakure Village is willing to coexist in a friendly manner with the Demon Country and the Uzumaki Clan in the future, and do business with each other.
There was quite a bit of criticism within the Iwagakure Village about this move, but after seeing the tragic situation of the Five-Tailed Jinchuuriki, the senior officials unanimously shut their mouths.
They are not the reckless people in Kirigakure Village who dare to attack the Uzumaki clan.
What kind of person Ohnoki is, the senior officials of various countries know very well that there is only one possibility that can make him bleed like this, and that is that he is afraid of Yagami Baiyu.
Although the Third Raikage is currently recognized as the strongest among the Five Kages, in terms of true lethality, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki's Dust Escape is unparalleled in the world, and anyone who touches it will die.
Even the tailed beast is no exception, but he compromised with Yagami Baiyu.
As you can imagine, things are certainly not that simple.
There are even rumors that Ohnoki was severely injured by Yagami Shiroha and almost died.
Of course, Iwagakure refused to answer this kind of thing.
This incident also caused an uproar in Konoha because it was close to the time when the Kumogakure mission was sent to Konoha.
When faced with the same injustice, the Uzumaki clan is much tougher than Konoha.
In terms of overall strength, Konoha is not necessarily weaker than the Uzumaki clan, but the way it was handled really disappointed every ninja clan.
Why don't the Third Hokage and these senior officials dare to fight Kumogakure? !
Look at Yagami Bai Yu, for an illegitimate daughter, he dared to directly attack Iwagakure.
In contrast, judge from superior to superior.
