"Of course, thank you for your hard work, Hanabi. Go back and rest early. I'll let you know when we have dinner later!"
Hinata Hiashi looked at his little daughter's panting back, satisfied, and responded with a smile.
He left the training ground with two elders.
Hanabi looked at the messy wooden figures on the ground, and suddenly thought of her sister.
If Hinata is training here.
She will definitely put all the wooden stake men back to their original positions after defeating them and stopping training.
But Hanabi has no interest in doing such a good thing.
Anyway, tomorrow morning.
There will be clan members to clean it up.
She looked up at the clouds on the horizon that were dyed red by the sunset. By now, her sister must have reached the depths of the Death Forest.
I wonder if that guy will take good care of her.
Hanabi did not return to her room immediately and asked her servant to prepare bath water for her.
Anyway, those servants knew her habits.
You should be preparing hot water now.
She had just sent away her father and the elders just to be alone for a while.
Hanabi sat on a wooden stake that fell to the ground, quietly looking at the beautiful red fire clouds outside the yard.
"It's so beautiful!"
Hanabi sighed softly. In addition to being strong in front of others, she was also a quite sentimental girl in private.
For my sister.
To test Naruto.
She practiced so hard, of course, in order to have the ability to protect her family in this chaotic ninja world.
Hanabi has seen many unfair things in Ninja Village, and she often thinks about it secretly.
If she and Hinata didn't live in the Hyuga clan, would such a cruel life still condone an innocent person like her sister?
so.
Hanabi knew that instead of pinning her fate on her family, it was better to improve herself quickly, use the family's resources generously, and become the family's strongest backing.
But her goal must be achieved.
It will take a long time.
Compared to her super-genius cousin, Hanabi knew that there was indeed a lot of difference between her and her sister's talents in becoming ninjas.
"It's time to go back!"
Hanabi let out a long sigh, and after diverging her thoughts, her thoughts returned to reality. Her whole body was sticky and she felt very uncomfortable without taking a shower.
at this time.
Under the courtyard wall.
Suddenly, countless slender and weird shadows appeared. They were like monsters drawn with splashed ink, slender and slender, much like human figures.
Hanabi slowly raised her head.
All I saw was the setting sun.
On the courtyard wall.
At this moment, there were dozens of weird people standing in strange black and white costumes, wearing black silk scarves with crescent moons on their heads, with pale faces, two arcs reflected in the holes, and wearing bandage masks.
They stand on the wall.
Form a circle.
As far as the eye can see.
They all stared at Hanabi who had just stood up from the wooden stake man and stood in the center of the courtyard.
"Where are these ninjas from? This is the home of the number one ninja clan in Konoha. I'm giving you a warning. Leave here, otherwise, you will all die!"
Hinata Hinashi suddenly teleported to Hanabi in the courtyard and angrily scolded the weirdo on the high wall.
But after this roar.
Didn't drink any weirdos.
The next moment.
The two elders of the Hyuga clan also returned to the courtyard. After they were called away by Hanabi, they did not go far. They found something unusual in the courtyard and immediately followed the clan leader back here.
"Hanabi-sama, leave this to us. Leave here. We have sent people to inform Hokage-sama. You can run directly towards the Hokage Building!"
One of the elderly elders of the Hyuga clan roared loudly.
The enemy dares to directly break into the hinterland of the Hyuga clan
, and quietly bypassed the sentries outside and inside the Hyuga clan.
this means.
The opponent came prepared, and their strength must not be underestimated.
Hanabi gritted her teeth and looked at the reassuring figures of her father and elders. Without hesitation, she turned around and ran away.
Keng——
Hinata Rizu saw his little daughter leaving behind. He and the two elders behind him suddenly opened their eyes, and the meridians around the corners of their eyes were bulging and intricate.
The three of them opened their eyes.
Lost in confusion.
The traces of chakra veins in these strangely dressed people in the courtyard are very consistent, as if they were carved from the same mold.
This is naturally not normal.
But it can be explained.
They are a bunch of puppets!
!
"superior!"
Hinata Hizashi roared angrily, planning to strike first. The monsters in front of him, for some reason, always gave him an inexplicable sense of oppression.
"Huh, I haven't done anything for a long time. It's an honor for you to die at our hands!"
"Haha, I just happen to have itchy hands!"
Two old elders of the Hyuga clan followed Rizu and launched an attack.
Hanabi didn't panic and pounce.
Right now, there was a weirdo standing every meter on the wall in the yard.
She had to let her father and two elders create chaos before she could find the opportunity to leave here and move in foreign aid.
"ah!
! "
Three screams suddenly came from the courtyard.
Hanabi's heart sank.
Suddenly turned around.
I saw that my father and two long-established elders of the Hyuga clan were being trampled on by a strange man dressed in strange clothes, unable to move.
Hanabi showed an expression of disbelief.
Those are the current head of the Hyuga clan and two powerful elders!
Ninjas of this level, even if placed on the battlefield, can contain hundreds of thousands of genin.
And at this moment.
Just one breath.
They fell at the enemy's feet. Judging from the scene, the enemy's attack was so fast that no one had time to react.
"Hanabi, run away and leave us alone!"
"Hanabi-sama, run away!"
"ah!"
Hinata and the two elders put their cheeks on the ground and roared loudly. They were trampled on the ground like children by several weirdos and could not move.
When Hanabi looked back again.
A weirdo who was two meters tall, also wearing black and white clothes and a moon-black silk scarf, with a childlike face without any emotion, appeared in front of him.
The weirdo stared coldly at Hanabi who was clenching his teeth in front of him, and stretched out his right hand.
"Drink!
! "
Although the Hanabi Dou Kong was flashing with panic and shock, he still suppressed the fear in his heart, jumped up, and kicked the weirdo's outstretched arm.
After she took action.
stunned.
Due to the instant defeat of her father and the elders, she forgot to turn on her Byakugan.
next moment.
Hanabi watched helplessly as the joint of the weirdo's right hand that reached towards her suddenly fell off. Like a puppet's weapon arm, a giant net was launched from the bone and directly enveloped Hanabi.
"ah!"
Hanabi was restrained by the strong giant net and couldn't move. She just fell to the ground, twisted a few times, and was knocked unconscious by the weirdo squatting down with a knife.
Swish——
The tall weirdo carried Hanabi on his shoulders, ignored Hinata Hizashi and Elder Hyuga who were being restrained and rubbing on the ground, and disappeared into the courtyard with the other weirdos.
"Hanabi!
! "
Hinata climbed up from the ground in embarrassment. He looked up at the sky, rolled his eyes angrily, and looked around, but
Not even a trace of the weirdo could be seen.
…
ten minutes later.
Swish swish——
A Konoha elite ANBU team teleported to the hinterland compound of the Hyuga clan that was normally inaccessible.
moment.
Tsunade personally took Shizune and her brother with a transparent energy body and followed the ANBU team to the compound of the Hyuga clan.
"Nizu, what's going on?"
Tsunade looked around the messy courtyard and looked at Hinata Hinashi who was sitting on the ground with his eyes blank.
The Hyuga clan and the ninjas still in Konoha have all been transferred out by the Hizu to look for Hanabi.
Hizu looked up at Tsunade in front of him and lamented: "Tsunade-sama, I am so stupid, really, I should take Hanabi and escape from here..."
Tsunade:"……"
Wearing a fox mask and returning to his old career, Kakashi, the leader of the elite ANBU team, leaned over to Tsunade and said softly:
"Sir, since we arrived here, Hiashi-sama has said this to everyone he meets."
Tsunade suddenly became even more speechless.
This time, the future heir of the Hyuga clan was kidnapped. As the fifth generation Hokage, she naturally sent out the elites still in the Ninja Village to solve the problem.
Kakashi naturally became the leader of this ANBU team.
"Leave it to me here. You try to track down the person who attacked the Hyuga clan. Really, you dare to attack our ninja clan inside Konoha. This is unforgivable!"
Tsunade clenched her fist and said harshly.
"Yes!" After Kakashi nodded, he channeled his pet dog, Parker.
"Parker, these are the clothes worn by the second young lady of the Hyuga clan. Based on this smell, start tracking!"
Kakashi took out a Hanabi-worn uniform taken from the Hyuga clan and placed it in front of Parker.
"learn!"
Parker didn't waste any time and looked up at the busy members of the Hyuga clan.
It knew very well that no jokes could be tolerated when it came to the Konoha Ninja clan.
He sniffed the clothes Hanabi wore.
Parker closed his eyes, looked around, then raised his head to look in the direction of the setting sun, and said in a deep voice:
"follow me!"
Kakashi nodded and immediately planned to set off with the two teammates around him.
At this time.
Tsunade, who was standing aside, looked up in the direction where Parker was just staring and said in a deep voice: "Wait!"
Parker, and Team Kakashi immediately stopped and looked at Tsunade.
Tsunade stared at the direction where the sun was setting in the west and said solemnly: "Are you sure it is that direction?"
Parker nodded and said: "Hokage-sama, my sense of smell is also the best among ninja dogs. I can bet my reputation on this!"
Tsunade sighed and waved her hands:
"I know, that direction is the direction of the Forest of Death!"
Speaking of gambling.
She bets with others.
Ten bets and ten losses!
Unless others deliberately let the situation slip, it would be difficult to win, so now Tsunade has learned to be smart and don't bet with anyone, even if the other person is a dog.
"Death Forest..." Kakashi thought quickly and said, "The one who was kidnapped was the second young lady of the Hyuga clan, and in that direction, there is also the eldest lady of the Hyuga clan, Hinata, who is currently taking the Chunin exams. It can be inferred that If so, everything will seem much more reasonable!"
"They want to take Hinata away???"
Rizu stood up from the ground abruptly and looked blankly to the west where the sun was about to set. He was furious and felt uncomfortable all over.
Kakashi added: "No, Hiashi-sama, maybe, they still want to capture Neji."
boom--
After hearing Kakashi's words, Hizu suddenly fell back. Although Neji was separated from the family, he was the only heir of his biological brother left in the world.
It would be better if there are three advantages and two disadvantages.
He Rizu is simply a big sinner!
"Hisashi-sama!"
When Tsunade and others saw Hizu standing upright and falling down, they quickly stepped forward to help him and used medical ninjutsu to treat him.
"Hurry up and get going!"
Tsunade was treating Hinata Hinata while giving orders to Kakashi.
The elite ANBU team, led by the slightly embarrassed Kakashi, together with Parker, left the Hyuga clan compound with no other clues.
Tsunade saved Hizu until he could breathe.
She raised her head and looked towards the direction of the Death Forest, and said in a low voice: "Damn it, is there going to be another accident in this Chunin Exam?"
Shizune couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Sir, please be more open-minded. This is not your problem."
"What is the purpose of seizing the heir of the Hyuga clan?"
Tsunade fell into deep thought and left Hizu in the care of Shizune, while she began to mobilize her troops, planning to catch up with Hinata and provide the safest protection.
…
Forest of death.
Later in the night.
Gu——
The uncomfortable calls of night owls and the low roars of other raptors echoed over the forest from time to time.
After the Twelve Xiaoqiang deviated from the route.
Sure enough, he successfully collected all the scrolls of heaven and earth. During this period, he did not conflict with other candidates, so he was able to fight without any loss.
"There is still some distance to go before we can leave the Death Forest. There is still some time in the night. We will camp in this forest area to rest for a few hours, and then continue on our way!"
Shikamaru made a new plan and said to his friends surrounding him.
"No problem, I'm really tired after traveling for a day and a half!"
Naruto agreed.
Xiao Li said harshly:
"Naruto, where are you now? Even if you have to travel for two and a half days, as a ninja, you should not complain about being tired. In the words of Mr. Kai, these are the best memories of youth!"
Naruto didn't try to argue with Xiao Li, he just smiled and immediately snuggled up to Hinata, flirting with Hinata happily.
If this were left in the past.
Naruto wanted to argue with Lee until dawn, but now he had Hinata.
Instead of following Xiao Li.
It's better to spend more time with Hinata.
Xiao Li: "..."
"Everyone, set up your tent and get some rest early. We'll continue our journey tomorrow."
Shikamaru reminded patiently, and as he said that, he took out the tent from the modified seal scroll in Uchiha Ninja Village and started to set it up.
Other friends followed suit.
"Hinata, let me help you set it up, hehe!" Naruto shamelessly came to Hinata, suddenly thought of something and said, "Why don't we sleep in a tent tonight, so as to save some time."
Hinata's face suddenly turned as red as a big apple, and she didn't know whether she should refuse.
Is this developing a little too fast?
Ino took the initiative to come to the rescue and said, "No, we are camping in the wild. Girls should sleep with girls!"
"I agree!" Tiantian and Sakura said this proposal was a good one.
There are boys following me during the day.
It is not convenient for them to talk privately.
night.
Sleeping in a tent is simply a paradise for girls to talk privately!
"All right……"
Naruto suddenly felt disappointed.
"Naruto, I have a mission for you. There should be a stream near here. Tenten, Sakura, and I are going to take Hinata to take a bath, and we'll leave our tent to you."
Ino smiled and teased:
"You don't want Hinata to be unable to take a shower tonight, right?"
Tiantian looked around at the boys around him and said with a smile, "No peeking!"
