Mixed in the Hokage cultivation road

Chapter 65: Confident Oonoki
Hinata was wandering around the Land of Earth, and those who didn't know would think she was in the Land of Fire.

An old man who is suspected to be from the Hyuga clan appeared in the territory of the Land of Earth, without any guards!
It’s so off the mark!

Isn't this a gift delivered to your door?
Hinata Makoto never thought about hiding his whereabouts.

Therefore, his information was discovered by chance by the Ohnoki Kage Guard who was searching for the Four-Tails Jinchuriki.

The news soon reached Ōnoki's ears.

After all, the Shadow Guard's mission is to search for Lao Zi, and they cannot abandon their duties without permission. However, with such a big fish right in front of them, they feel reluctant not to do something.

So they immediately activated the emergency messaging method, asking for Oonoki's opinion and letting him make the decision.

When Ōnoki heard the urgent message from the Shadow Guards through the summoned beasts, he thought that Lao Zi had gone berserk.

He even considered whether he should go and capture Lao Zi himself.

I didn't expect this to be the news.

Ōnoki was somewhat tempted. The Byakugan was indeed a good thing. It could greatly benefit one's side when used on the battlefield.

Although the purpose of this war is indeed not very clean, it is the result of tacit understanding among all parties.

But considering the long term, getting a pair of pure white eyes is also a big win!
Anyway, he knew Lao Zi well. He had no ambitions, but he was a little unhappy with his own actions.

He can't run far, so you can find him anytime if you want.

But this eye roll is different.

Ever since Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha forcibly recovered the leaked blood, all the major ninja villages have followed suit, and the outflow of bloodline limits has been basically controlled.

Among them, the Hyuga clan is the most strict in protecting bloodstains.

With their caged birds here, since the village was built, not a single eye has been shed out!
It has completely become the private property of Konoha.

Considering that Hinata Shin might run away at any time, Ōnoki immediately ordered that priority be given to obtaining the Byakugan and the mission to capture Lao Zi be postponed.

After the order was issued, Oonoki felt somewhat happy, as the gloom caused by Lao Zi's escape in the past few days had dissipated a little.

Ōnoki was lying leisurely on the Tsuchikage's throne, feeling a rare bit relaxed.

But in an instant, Oonoki's expression changed.

He felt something was wrong!

This is totally abnormal!

He was well aware of the corrupt Hyuga clan.

How could they allow an elderly clan leader to wander around aimlessly?

He even came to the Land of Earth without any guards!

Even if the Hyuga clan had some business dealings with the Land of Earth, it would be impossible for them to send a head of the family.

Those who came out to do business and trade were basically those with less talent as ninjas, and there had never been a main family.

They regard their own safety as more important than anything else!

There is definitely something wrong here!

Recalling the specific information reported by the Shadow Guard, Ohnoki tried to find some useful information from it.

The Hyuga clan, no caged bird, is very old and dying! But he is still very fast, and it seems that he is quite powerful.

Ohnoki looked solemn, thinking seriously.

The more I look at him, the more I feel that this person is not simple, and there seems to be an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

However, for safety reasons, let's suspend the Shadow Guard's plan and switch to tracking and observation.

Soon, Ohnoki's emergency message was sent out.

The ninja who was secretly observing and tracking Hinata Shinsen, after receiving the first order from Oonoki, began to notify his teammates to assemble.

And began to prepare to attack Hinata Shin.

They didn't know that they had already been exposed by Hinata Makoto.

It's just that he's too lazy to care.

Since he didn't come to seek death, Hinata would just pretend he didn't see it.

However, just when the Shadow Guards were approaching within 500 meters of Hinata Shin and were about to take action, Oonoki's message came again.

"Tsk~ I thought I could stretch my muscles for a bit, it seems this Ōnoki kid still has some brains." "No wonder he was able to control Iwagakure for so many years, he can outlast Sarutobi Hiruzen!"

Hinata Shin found out Ōnoki's order and praised him for his meticulousness.

The Shadow Guards carried out Oonoki's orders unconditionally, and then became Hinata Makoto's tail, trying to collect as much personal information as possible.

And told Oonoki the general image of Hinata.

After receiving the information, Oonoki had an astonishing guess in his mind.

Could it be that the old guy is still alive?
If it was him, the Hyuga clan really couldn't control it, and they didn't have the ability to do so.

However, there have been rumors a long time ago that he has retired from the ninja sequence and lost his power. So is this news false?

It shouldn’t happen, because this old guy didn’t participate in World War I and World War II, otherwise it’s hard to say what the situation would be like now.

Moreover, the spies in Konoha have not sent any information about him over the years.

But this old guy was once the strongest in the first echelon, after all, so it’s possible that he has some unknown tricks.

However, since he had a guess, Ōnoki also took it seriously.

He wanted to confirm it himself.

If it really is the person he guessed, the Shadow Guard could be wiped out at any time!
He had a deep understanding of the strongest people in the Warring States Period.

It is impossible to guess the strength of these old guys based on their age.

Thinking of this, Ohnoki didn't waste any more time. He simply arranged the work and flew out of the window of the Tsuchikage Building.

At this time, Ohnoki was not too old to stand up straight, and his flying speed was still very fast.

Of course, it's definitely no match for Hinata.

Their strength is not in the same dimension!
Five hours later, Oonoki arrived near Hinata Makoto's location.

Successfully reunited with the Shadow Guard.

"Lord Tsuchikage, the target is fishing at that lake right now, but he seems to have spotted us a long time ago."

The perception ninja immediately stepped forward to report the situation.

"Well, I guessed it. Come with me. He probably knows I'm coming and is waiting for me."

"Remember not to act rashly! This old guy is not easy to deal with!"

After reminding his personal guards, Ōnoki immediately led his men towards Hinata Shin who was sitting by the lake fishing.

"I didn't expect that the Tsuchikage of the Iwagakure would have the time to come and see an old man like me at this time."

Hinata Shin teased Oonoki who sat next to him while fishing.

"I didn't expect that the real senior is still alive! I thought you should have died a long time ago."

Oonoki gave a sharp response to Hinata's teasing.

The Shadow Guards standing by were a little dumbfounded. They didn't expect that this Hyuga clan was actually very familiar with the Tsuchikage-sama.

"The little guy back then has now become a village hero. Time flies, and you've grown old! Things have really changed!"

There was a hint of emotion in Hinata Mana's words.

"At this time, why don't you live in Konoha and retire here? What's your purpose in coming to my Land of Earth?"

Oonoki didn't give Hinata any face at all and immediately started questioning her.

"You are still the same as before, lacking the proper respect when facing the strong!"

Hinata's old voice came, and his tone was a little cold.

"Do you still think I'm the kid I used to be? You're old and dying! And I'm still at my peak!"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Oonoki's words, but also a strong sense of confidence!
"Oh? You seem very confident. Do you want to compete with me?"

Hinata said in a teasing tone.

"So what? Your time is over! Now is our time! Hinata Makoto!"

Ohnoki was a little too confident.
