Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird

Chapter 43 Return to Konoha
Hinata Yuzuru waited quietly for a moment, without waiting for the answer, he just smiled.

"In that case, excuse me for disturbing you."

Hinata Yuzuru put on her mask, raised her chin towards Kakashi, turned around and left.

As for the root of Yamato - in Byakugan's field of vision, he quickly used ninjutsu to escape when Orochimaru left, and Hinata Yuzuru didn't want to leave him here.

With Yamato's current mentality, wouldn't it be good to let him continue to work without contributing to Danzo?

The Iburi clan couldn't believe that Hinata Yuzuru actually gave up negotiating with them and walked straight out.

It was not until he almost disappeared from sight that Iburi Wutai hurriedly chased after him as if waking from a dream: "Please wait a moment!"

Hinata Yuzuru stopped.

Ibliwutai sighed and said, "I am willing to accept your advice and your protection. If you need it, I am also willing to gather my tribesmen to help you. However, Xuejian is different from those young people in their twenties."

The implication is that Iburigota has already used himself and other middle-aged tribesmen as bargaining chips, and is not pinning his hopes on Hinata Yuzuru just being kind.

I'm not afraid of you taking advantage of me. I'll even give you my life, and those elders in my family like me are willing to be your bargaining chips.

Only those young people, please be merciful and let them carry the fate of the Ibri people and continue to look for hope in the future.

Hinata Yuzuru was too lazy to explain further. He just let them see for themselves what was going on. He simply said, "Just wait here. I'll have someone arrange it today."

"If you have figured out where to go, you can leave at any time. If you want to try to find a way to remove the curse seal or improve the blood stains, please have someone come to Konoha to find me at that time."

What Hinata Yuzuru meant was that he was giving them the initiative.

I don't ask you to do anything, nor will I take the initiative to do anything for you.

We simply provide you, the homeless, with a temporary shelter and some basic living supplies, that's all.

If you have any further needs, or I hope I can help you.

Just come and ask for help yourself, with the right attitude.

As for what Hinata Yuzuru said, that he could arrange accommodation for them today, it was not an exaggeration.

The Hyuga clan, even if it is a branch, has some assets placed throughout the Land of Fire. After all, everyone needs to eat and drink, and without money, how can such a large family be supported with just the salary of a ninja?
The branch family can't just rely on the main family's favor to survive, right?

Fortunately, although the ninja world values ​​​​money, it does not pay special attention to strength. This also makes the clan not care about dividing some properties to subsidize the family.

Anyway, when I need it, your money is my money, as a family.

Therefore, Hyuga Yuzuru just needs to rely on his own identity and go to the nearby Hyuga family property to find ninjas to make arrangements. First, settle down the Ibli family to avoid being killed by Orochimaru or Genbe, and then give up the points. The family’s confidants can arrange them.

As for whether they would leave, whether they would want his help to resolve the hidden dangers of the bloodstains and the problem of the curse seal - Hinata Yuzuru was not in a hurry at all.

Hinata Yuzuru's figure quickly disappeared into the tree hole.

There was only a group of confused and bewildered Ibuli people standing in the tree hole. Everything that had just happened was like a nightmare.

I woke up from the dream, but still didn’t dare to move.

The Anbu quickly came to search for Orochimaru's traces, and did not care too much about the group of "refugees" living in the tree hole. They just took note of them and reported them, and then no longer paid attention to them and continued to hunt for Orochimaru.

Hyuga Yuzuru went to a nearby town to explain the situation to someone, and gave orders in the capacity of Hyuga Hizashi's son. The Hyuga branch ninja in charge of running the business then set out to meet the Iburi clan.

It is impossible for the Ibli people to survive only by hunting. In order to facilitate supplies, although they choose to live in the mountains and forests, they are not too far away from towns.

Hinata Yuzuru didn't worry about what happened after that. It seemed that he had no intention of going any further.

In fact, even Kakashi, who has always maintained a calm observation on this, it is difficult to judge what Hinata Yuzuru's purpose is at this time.

On the way to Konoha to report the details, Kakashi finally couldn't bear his doubts anymore and asked softly.

"What is your purpose?"

He shared the same idea as the Iburi clan, believing that Hinata Yuzuru's actions were not simple.

But Hinata Yuzuru just sighed: "Can't I just simply want to be a good person?"

Kakashi was silent for a moment, his eyes looking more or less seriously. After a while, he got an answer from the bottom of his heart that even he was a little surprised by.

He turned his head away and said reluctantly in an inaudible voice: "I believe it." "You are indeed the gentle Kakashi-senpai." Hinata Yuzuru smiled gently, ignoring Kakashi's awkward and disgusted look.

He looked ahead, spoke with a hint of meaning, and said calmly, "I never ask anyone to trust and follow me, Kakashi-senpai."

"The so-called trust, recognition, and resulting following are just the wishful thinking of the weak. I don't need those things."

"So for me, so-called trust and recognition are the things least worth striving for."

"I just ask people to look at me, watch me, that's all."

Hinata Yuzuru turned his head and looked at Kakashi, his eyes flashing with arrogance and self-confidence that was almost arrogance that he dared not ignore.

"Senior Kakashi, I once told Itachi that all living things instinctively believe in beings that are superior to them."

"I just need to be the best and do what I want to do. Those who have the courage and trust in me will follow me consciously. This is what I want to do and the only thing I need to do."

"So why should I waste my time and effort, or even plan anything, just to make others trust me, rely on me, and follow me?"

Hinata Yuzuru tilted his head, his face beneath the mask showing a confident smile.

"You too. Just doubt me as much as you want, and watch what I do with a heart that you will never trust."

Kakashi looked at him blankly. This young man, who had been a bit out of character in the past and seemed to him to be somewhat thoughtful, was showing such domineering and arrogance that he had never seen before.

This guy.
Kakashi withdrew his gaze, and in his heart, he had to admit it.

Even he was shaken in his heart at that moment - he really wanted to see where this guy's ambition ended.

Shaking his head, suppressing his deafening voice in his heart, Kakashi said coldly: "Unfortunately, now I feel that you seem to be more and more dangerous to Konoha."

"is it?"

Hinata Yuzuru said frivolously: "Don't talk nonsense in front of the Hokage. I'm just a five-year-old kid, what bad thoughts can I have?"

Kakashi was silent for a moment, and thinking about it carefully, he seemed to be right.

Who else but him would take the words of a five-year-old so seriously?

This guy is so scary.

The two remained silent and returned to the Hokage Building.

Not surprisingly, the Third Hokage did not blame them for this at all. After learning about the embarrassing use of blood stains of the Ibli clan, he also recognized Hyuga Yuzuru's arrangement and did not delve too much into the things behind it.

To be frank, he was not glorious. The Root and Orochimaru committed a crime, but could he, a Hokage, get away with it? The Fourth Hokage had only been in office for a year, but this matter was carried out during his term. He even knew about the live experiment - but he used his own people at the beginning, but the mortality rate was too high, so he openly ordered the termination of the experiment plan.

It seemed that he knew nothing about Danzo and Orochimaru secretly hiring people to experiment on them, but in fact he could still guess a little.

It's just that the third generation has not launched any investigation into this.

Yes, he had some guesses, but he never investigated or even paid attention to Danzo's behavior.

This is how the third generation operates.

Therefore, Hyuga Yuzuru took the initiative to take over the aftermath work and dealt with the Ibuli clan for him, without letting them jump out and spread the word about Konoha's faults. For the third generation, it was actually a good thing.

However, the third generation had no intention of letting the two of them sit idle.

It seems that Orochimaru's defection has some impact on the Third Generation. He was holding a pipe in his mouth without putting it in his pocket, and his sparse hair was standing up in the air, giving him a rare aura of majesty without even being angry.

"I understand. In that case, I'll leave the pursuit of Orochimaru to others."

After Sandai finished speaking, he first glanced at Kakashi and then at Hinata Yuzuru. He was thinking about something. After a while, he said: "Yuzuru, please go out for a while."

Hinata Yuzuru was confident, nodded with a smile and left, and then, only Kakashi and the Third were left in the room.

The third generation held his pipe in his mouth with a smile on his face: "How was it? Kakashi? How did your new companion perform on this mission?"

Kakashi had an urge to tell this guy all about his bad behavior, but he stared at the ground in thought for a moment. After confirming the answer in his heart for the umpteenth time, he slowly raised his head and softly told him the ins and outs of this mission and Hinata Yuzuru's performance.

PS: "Um, I'm Kakashi. I'm in Konoha now and I'm being plotted by a very bad person. Now, I need your help. Can you lend me 300 recommendation votes and buy a copy of Intimate Paradise to calm down? Mood, do you understand what I mean? Salute to you, Salute!"
