Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird

Chapter 58 Attacked
It was night time in the small town called Yutorii.

The lights are bright, the people are bustling, and there are crowds of wandering ninjas carrying all kinds of weapons wandering here. The aroma of food, the rich smell of rouge and powder on the young ladies wearing bold clothes, and the waiters standing on the street shouting to attract customers.

If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, who would believe that the place described in this way is actually a small town in the Land of Hot Springs?

The dark clouds of the war between Kumogakure and Konoha seemed to have never enveloped this small town. The lights were brightly lit, people were busy, and people were coming and going. It seemed to be much more lively than Konoha Village.

Uchiha Shisui raised his chin slightly towards Hinata Yuzuru without leaving a trace. At this moment, both of them used transformation techniques to turn into middle-aged men with ordinary clothes and plain looks. They looked inconspicuous in this small town.

Following Uchiha Shisui's line of sight, on the side of the bustling street, in a dim alley, a ragged young man was sitting powerlessly in it, with some bloodstained scars on his body that were shocking.

Maybe he accidentally offended someone and was beaten up and thrown in there, or maybe someone was just drunk and made fun of him.

Hinata Yuzuru and Uchiha Shisui withdrew their gaze.

On both sides of the street, you can occasionally see ninjas wearing forehead protectors from the Yugenu Village, but they all look listless and don't have the aura of a ninja at all. It's obvious that they have been addicted to alcohol and sex for a long time.

"Don't worry, here, as long as you have money or ability, this is heaven!" A wandering ninja passing by saw Hinata Yuzuru's thoughtful eyes, laughed, and staggered past with a bottle of wine in his hand.

In order not to attract attention, Hinata Yuzuru gave the stray ninja who passed by an awkward smile and echoed a few words.

But as the initial shock subsided, this false prosperity no longer seemed so exciting.

"The last hot spring room! The last hot spring room! If you miss it, it's gone! Only one thousand, seven hundred taels!"

The price was not cheap, but Uchiha Shisui stopped without hesitation and said, "This is it."

The man standing at the door and shouting saw a customer coming, and came forward with a smile, took the money, and did not ask the other party's identity at all. He just asked for the name, registered, collected the deposit, and gave the key to Uchiha Shisui.

Uchiha Shisui took Hinata Yuzuru through the corridor and opened the door. There was only a big bed inside.

"Just take turns to rest tonight." Uchiha Shisui didn't care about this. Even though he seemed to be in a safe environment, he didn't completely let down his guard.

"Okay." Hinata Yuzuru agreed and walked impatiently to the side of the room. He opened the small door and there was a small hot spring - to be precise, it was a small bathtub filled with hot spring water transported from a bamboo pipe after digging a large pit large enough for three or four people to bathe together.

"You can go take a bath first. I'll go buy some food and get some information by the way." Uchiha Shisui just smiled slightly when he saw this. Perhaps only at this time could he vaguely remember that the guy in front of him was just a child.

Of course Hinata Yuzuru would not refuse, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Shisui."

It was obviously not the first time Uchiha Shisui came here, and he obviously had his own way of obtaining information.

After Hyuga Yuzuru waited for him to leave, he observed with his Byakugan, released the transformation technique, and got into the hot spring comfortably.

"what"

He wet his long hair with water, then sat down on the edge of the pool tiredly and lazily. He tilted his head back and rubbed his face.

For some reason, I suddenly thought of Hinata Kaoru - if this guy came here with me.
He couldn't help laughing, shook his head, calmed down, rested for a while, then stood up to rinse, dried his hair, transformed into a businessman again, and quietly waited for Uchiha Shisui to return.

About half an hour later, Uchiha Shisui pushed open the door.

"I'm back."

Just seeing Uchiha Shisui, Hyuga Yuzuru subconsciously rolled his eyes. Without waiting for the person in front of him to say anything, he suddenly attacked the next moment.

"Soft Fist!"

The Uchiha Shisui in front of him obviously never thought that he would be hit directly with a punch. He didn't even have time to scream out before he exploded into smoke and turned into a short rebel ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village. At this time, he didn't even have time to form hand seals before he was punched in the chest.

The chakra was fixed by the soft fists on his acupoints, locking his body, and then there was a continuous shower of blows. It was not until the short ninja lost resistance and vomited blood and fainted on the spot that Hinata Yuzuru put down his hands, and the veins around his eyes were exposed, Observing the surrounding situation.

"Three."

He quickly judged that the guy in front of him might be an accomplice of the traitorous ninja.

First, he squatted down, grabbed the Yunyin Village forehead protector that had a scratch on the man's forehead, and touched it, and then searched around his body, but found nothing.

"Have you been targeted since you entered Yudo?"

"Or has Shisui's actions attracted attention, and he is following the clues to defeat them one by one?"

Hinata Yuzuru pondered for a moment, put on the Anbu mask, and performed the transformation technique again, but he turned into the middle-aged businessman transformed by Uchiha Shisui. He opened the door, stretched out his hand, waved his hand nervously, and then closed the door again.

Soon, footsteps were heard in the corridor, and two men who were also disguised using transformation techniques walked to the door and looked at each other.

"Click."

It wasn't the sound of a door opening.

Instead, two small holes were blasted out of the wooden door by the soft fist chakra, and the soft fist chakra hit out one after another, accurately knocking the two people to the ground without the other party seeing him at all. Hinata Yuzuru kicked down the shaky wooden door and turned his head suddenly.

In the distance, a ninja who was forming seals with his hands showed a ferocious murderous intent in his eyes. However, before the ninjutsu was launched, his eyes suddenly became dull, shook a few times, and fell to the ground.

On the other side of the corridor, Uchiha Shisui arrived belatedly. The three magatama in his eyes gradually disappeared. Just now, it was he who used illusions to directly knock the opponent down.

[It was an ordinary encounter, but you reacted quickly, handled it decisively, responded promptly, and achieved remarkable results.]

[Gained free experience points +1371 points. ]

After killing three of them, plus the overall evaluation, it was only a thousand free experience points.

Hinata Yuzuru felt a little sorry.

"Put them all in the house."

He gave a simple order, Hyuga Yuzuru nodded, and threw the several rebel ninjas collapsed at the door into the house. Uchiha Shisui strode in, and soon, the rebel ninjas' short screams were heard from inside.

The person in charge of the hotel came late. After hearing the screams, he just paused and gave Hinata Yuzuru a flattering smile: "You go ahead, I'm not in a hurry."

After saying that, the person in charge turned around and left without any intention of getting involved.

Hinata Yuzuru was guarding the door, taking a long breath with a serious expression.

Just a few minutes later, Uchiha Shisui walked out of the door: "Get out of here first."

Hinata Yuzuru didn't waste any time and followed him.

When they reached the door of the store, Uchiha Shisui dropped a small purse, which he probably took from the group of Kumo Ninjas, and threw it to the inn bar: "A bunch of rebellious ninjas, you will have the hard work of cleaning them up from now on."

The person in charge of the hotel seemed really calm. After receiving the money, he just opened it and took a look, then smiled and said, "Welcome to visit next time."

It seemed that he had no burden or pressure at all about cleaning up the corpses of a few rebellious ninjas.

Uchiha Shisui took Hinata Yuzuru from the rooftop. The two of them teleported very quickly, and the movement was so small that ordinary people couldn't notice it at all.

"Observe with your white eyes."

Arriving in front of a hotel, Uchiha Shisui stopped.

Without saying anything, Hyuga Yuzuru rolled his eyes, scanned the inside and outside of the hotel, and then shook his head.

"follow me."

Uchiha Zhiguo gave the order to retreat. He originally wanted to leave directly, but after hesitating, he stayed on the street for a while, bought two grilled fish and chicken skewers, and handed them to Hinata Yuzuru. Begin to evacuate.

After leaving Yudo, Uchiha Shisui sighed in the forest and said, "It's a trap, but luckily we were the first to step in, not other ordinary ninjas on a mission."

"I used illusion to interrogate those Cloud Hidden Village members who were disguised as rebel ninjas and obtained some information. From this, I can judge that the Cloud Hidden Village still has no plans to launch a large-scale attack for the time being, but they want to stir up trouble openly or secretly, and it would be best if Konoha could not help but take action first."

Hinata Yuzuru took the chicken skewers and nodded while chewing, expressing his approval of Uchiha Shisui's judgment.

"The Hidden Cloud Village will not sit idly by and watch the strongholds and traps we eliminated today. They will definitely launch a counterattack."

"Let's pass on the information first. The days ahead will probably be the same as today."

Uchiha Shisui was talking, but he swallowed unconsciously.

Hinata Yuzuru smiled slightly and raised the grilled fish: "Let's eat first?"

"Uh-huh."

Uchiha Shisui laughed dumbly.

I always feel that compared to myself, Hinata Yuzuru looks more relaxed, which is good.

After all, Hyuga Yuzuru's ability to react quickly and counterattack when facing those ninjas who disguised sneak attacks fully demonstrated his vigilance.

"You did a great job, keep it up." After giving the compliment, he picked up the grilled fish and quickly finished dinner with Hinata Yuzuru. After all, it tasted much better than the soldiers' pills.

Then, the two of them quickly left Tang Qu's range.

It is impossible for the Kumogakure Village to know that its stronghold and traps have lost contact, and it is impossible to hide the news of Konoha Anbu's actions from everyone. Presumably, Kumogakure's elite will retaliate soon.

But fortunately.
Hinata Yuzuru finished soaking in the hot spring.
