Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird

Chapter 65 Distance
"Thank you."

Inuzuka Tsubasa's expression could not be seen beneath the mask. He simply thanked Momonosuke and took his body in silence.

The poor ninja dog's neck was almost completely torn apart, and he had to be held carefully to ensure its integrity to the greatest extent.

The silent Sakurajima Yao stretched out her hand, took out the medical equipment, and simply sewed Momonosuke up to avoid accidents while on the road.

"Thank you."

It seems that Inuzuka Tsubasa only knows how to say this now.

The remaining six Anbu fell into silence. Shisui was still in a coma. Opening the Mangekyo at the age of ten was not without burden on his body, especially since he also activated Kotoamatsukami.

Hinata Yuzuru was responsible for carrying him. Uchiha Shisui was only a head taller than him, so it was quite convenient for him to carry him.

They stayed away from the heartbreaking border of Yu Country and returned to Konoha along the safe route of Fire Country.

It was not until he saw the outline of the village in the dim light of dusk that Inuzuka Tsubasa said hoarsely, "I want to go home first, is that okay?"

According to the procedures of the Anbu, everyone needs to report their tasks first. If there are no other tasks, they can go home and rest.

Uchiha Shisui is still carried on Hyuga Yuzuru's back. He has been waking and dreaming these days and his mental state is still not good. It is unknown whether it is because of the Mangekyo or the sacrifice of Deer and Daisy.

He jumped off Hinata Yuzuru's back and forcibly cheered up.

"Okay, you all go back, I will report the details of the mission to the third generation."

Uchiha Shisui's voice was calm, and his expression was no longer sad. It seemed that he had returned to his previous calm and composed appearance.

Hinata Yuzuru glanced at him and said, "Let's go together. Then, let's go eat something together?"

"Sorry, I don't have much of an appetite today."

“That’s why we need to eat.”

Hinata Yuzuru said unreasonably, Uchiha Shisui opened his mouth, remained silent, and did not refuse.

The rest of the Anbu watched the two young men's backs, just looked at each other at the same time, nodded, followed behind them, headed towards Konoha Village, and embarked on the journey home.

When Inuzuka Tsubasa said goodbye, he stopped and didn't make a sound until they were far away. In the end, he just lowered his head dejectedly, looked at Momonosuke's body in his arms, and softly uttered a few words.

"sorry"

He walked away disappointedly. Perhaps, he felt that if he had not chosen to retreat and fought with all his might, this situation would not have happened.

The other Anbu members were thinking the same thing, which was why they were silent now.

Arriving at the Hokage Building, the two of them stopped at the same time and looked up from downstairs. At this moment, the dusk cast a faint golden light, making the whole building look as magnificent as if it existed in another world.

Hinata Yuzuru stretched out his hand and pulled the half-sleeve for Shisui. Even if he was as strong as Shisui, he would not have been unscathed in the previous fierce battle. At this time, the tactical vest was cut open by the ninja tool, and the blue half-sleeve inside was also torn. Tattered.

"I'll go up alone." Shisui waited for him to finish, then forced a smile. Subconsciously, just like He did to Itachi, he stretched his hand to Hinata Yuzuru's head. Seeing that he didn't avoid it, he rubbed it gently. rub.

Hinata Yuzuru smiled and nodded slightly. He was already wearing glasses. It was unbelievable that during this long journey, this pair of black-framed glasses, which had been kept in the ninja tool bag, was always safe and sound.

Uchiha Shisui dragged his tired body and walked into the Hokage Building.

Hinata Yuzuru patted the steps in front of the Hokage Building tiredly, sat on them, unbuttoned the ANBU tactical vest, and pulled the collar of his black short-sleeved shirt.

The weather in November in Konoha, which has four distinct seasons, is a bit cold.

I raised my head, not knowing what I was thinking. When I came to my senses, I remembered that I had not yet carefully read the system prompts after the battle.

[Kill the elite cloud ninja ANBU Jonin, free experience value +2181]

[Kill the Kumo Ninja ANBU Jonin, free experience points +1279]

[Assist in killing the elite Jonin of the Cloud Ninja ANBU, free experience value +1380]

【Kill】

Omit these dozens of densely packed data.

[This is a bloody battle that turned from a breakout battle to a battle of annihilation. Facing a strong enemy, with fewer enemies and more enemies, you and your teammates completed a wonderful reversal and won a brilliant and wonderful victory! Free experience value +12101. 】

[This is a battle worth remembering as a milestone. 】

[Achieve an exciting battle milestone: Kingdom of Soup, Fire's Sorrow. ]

[Obtained special milestone reward, free experience value +10000 points. ]

[You can review this battle at any time on the system's milestone interface. ]

As soon as Hinata Yuzuru's thoughts changed, the so-called milestone picture flashed before his eyes.

Just like the illustrated collection in a game, a picture of lightning and fire appeared in front of the empty eyes. A male and a female ninja were surrounded by explosive tags and looked at their own drawing with a smile.

In the shadowed part of the drawing, where the lightning flashed, the frightened and panicked eyes of the Cloud Ninjas were reflected.

Hyuga Yuzuru hesitated for a moment, but finally an idea came to his mind and he clicked in. Inside was a detailed written record, recording the battle from a third-party perspective, starting from celebrating Inuzuka Tsubasa's birthday to Uchiha Shisui's paralysis. Until it falls on his shoulders.

The cold, objective words recorded the complete facts without any emotion. Seeing this, Hinata Yuzuru just sighed and closed the page.

"Huh" he let out a long sigh.

Looking up at the stars a little tiredly.

Humans, after all, have their limits.

It was impossible for him to think about how to fight, observe the overall situation with his eyes, focus on dealing with the enemy, and pay attention to the psychological activities of each of his own people. He wanted to prevent such a tragedy from happening around him again.

I want to prevent myself from ever making such mistakes.

The only way to do this is to become stronger, stronger than ordinary people can be, even comparable to those who claim to be gods.

Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Hinata Yuzuru looked at the system again.

Then, how far is the Samsara Eye, which can make me on par with gods, from me?

[Break through the Byakugan (A) to the Samsaragan (SR). This skill cannot be broken through by leaps and bounds. 】

Hyuga Yuzuru guessed, no matter what, it would still cost one million free experience points, right?

It seems far away.

But Hyuga Yuzuru also understands that hard work will be rewarded and it is not something that can be achieved overnight.

Although at first glance, the complete Samsara Eye seems far away,
It's not that difficult just to break through the white eyes.

Just like the difference between the Sharingan from three magatama to Mangekyo, and from Mangekyo to Eternal Mangekyo, the ability of the Byakugan seems to have a clear advancement path in the system.

Hyuga Yuzuru also has some guesses about this. For example, Otsutsuki Kinshiki of the Otsutsuki clan can master spatial abilities comparable to Kamui. Otsutsuki Momoshiki's Byakugan has the ability to predict fate.

And above this is the realm of the Samsara Eye.

Maybe there is a chance to take shortcuts. For example, if Hinata Yuzuru had mastered the chakra of the Otsutsuki clan in advance, he might have a chance to directly transform his Byakugan into the Rinnegan. But who knows what the chakra of the Otsutsuki clan is, and I don't know whether this shortcut is reliable.

Rather than gambling on your life, it’s better to be more cautious and take your time.

[White Eyes (A) can break through to White Eyes (S). You cannot choose the breakthrough direction for this breakthrough. The awakening ability and improvement are related to your own personality, beliefs, and abilities. Free experience points are required: 200000]

Fortunately, the experience value of breaking through the Byakugan once is the same as that of Soft Fist and Kaitian. It only requires 200,000 points.

It’s a pity that the breakthrough of the Byakugan is not like the breakthrough of Ninjutsu. He cannot choose his own way of breakthrough. This uncertainty makes it difficult for him to make a decision.

Hinata Yuzuru had a slight headache and rubbed his eyebrows. Today, he really didn't want to think about these tedious things.

He also didn't think that now was a good time to make an important decision. He should wait until his mind was clear and he could think carefully before making this crucial decision.

[Current free experience value: 231100]

"Tomorrow, I have to buy a bouquet of roses for Daisy-senpai."

He looked at the bright moon quietly until he heard footsteps behind him. Zhishui calmly stopped beside him and glanced sideways.

Without needing to communicate, Hinata Yuzuru wiped the dust off his butt and stood up, walking side by side towards the street with him.

"Let's go to the mountain tribe's land first."

Uchiha Shisui seemed to have completely calmed down and regained his reliable appearance.

Hinata Yuzuru reached into his arms, and two unrecognizable forehead guards appeared in his hands.

Uchiha Shisui stopped because of this and stared blankly at the two forehead protectors for a long time. He reached out his hand in silence and picked up one of them.

"Senior Lu was hit on the head by gravel during a battle. Fortunately, he had a forehead protector to block it, but it left a small dent on the forehead protector. He said it was a lucky forehead protector, so he kept it the same."

There was a look of reminiscence on his face, and a fleeting gentle smile appeared on his face, and then sadness came over him and he regained his composure.

Hinata Yuzuru looked at the forehead guard and found that it was full of holes from the stones splashed by the explosion, and he couldn't tell what he was talking about.

Shisui rubbed a small hole with his fingers and tried to wipe the black stains on the forehead guard caused by the explosion, but he could not wipe them all off. After a while, he realized that these were memories that belonged exclusively to himself and his two predecessors.

"Sorry, let's go."

He held tightly the forehead protector that even the Konoha logo could not be seen clearly now, and strode forward, his eyes seemed to be staring into the void. Those were scenes that had made him laugh and be happy.

Hinata Yuzuru just followed silently, her long hair scattered and blown by the breeze under the setting sun. Her young and delicate face, which was slightly stained by dust stains or dried blood, attracted many passers-by's glances.

"Yuzuru."

A familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears. Hinata Yuzuru turned his head to look. Izumi pursed his lips as if he wanted to say something but stopped. He was originally cheering and wanted to say hello, but when he saw his face clearly, he instinctively stopped.

At this moment, Hinata Yuzuru just smiled and shook his head gently.

Quan stood there, not daring to move forward, because she could vaguely see that the smile that used to be only gentle and tolerant now only contained a hint of emotion that she could not describe.

I watched Shisui and Hinata Yuzuru, who were now lost in their memories and looking sad, gradually walk away.

Quan once again felt the unknown emotion that had made his heart ache before.

Want to be a ninja.

I want him to stop smiling like that.

I want to stand with him.

She pursed her lips and clenched her fists, and an inaudible sound floated through the air.

"Wait for me, Yuzuru"
