Naruto: The Caged Bird Cannot Confine Me - Feng Hou Qi Men

After leaving those words behind, Shino didn't say anything more. He tightened his clothes, put his hands back in his pockets, and slowly walked out of the tree hole to face the three Sound Ninja.

Kiba stood there, staring blankly at the receding figure walking in the sunlight, then glanced down at Hinata, whose face was full of pain.

"This is infuriating..."

After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally took a step.

However, instead of going out with Shino, he stood in front of Hinata.

Akamaru's gaze kept shifting between Shino and Hinata. After calling out, he jumped onto Shangya's head and grinned at the Sound Ninja outside.

"What, is there only one person in your team who can fight?" Sack Stirrup said with a smile.

"I can handle you all by myself." Shino's voice remained largely unchanged.

The insects under my sleeves began to stir, and the surrounding grass was overrun by swarms of hidden insects.

"A cold and arrogant fellow..."

Sak Dante's smile faded, and he slowly lowered his arm, which was equipped with chakra vents.

"Toss, Jean, I want to smash this guy's sunglasses, see his terrified and begging expression, then the guy inside is yours."

"Don't make decisions on your own initiative, you're not the captain."

Jean Hammer was quite displeased with this, looking at the calm-faced Shino, "Besides, this handsome guy is my type~"

"It doesn't matter what happens, just kill them all and steal the scroll," Tos Anvil said in a deep voice.

Despite being Orochimaru's subordinates, the two, who have always been at odds, seem to find it difficult to reach a consensus.

Realizing this, Shino decided to seize the initiative and directly swung his arm, controlling the parasitic insects on his body and around him to launch an attack.

"Secret Technique: Insect Tornado!"

Chapter 72: Hinata with the Cursed Seal Appears!

The open space was messy and broken, with many trees fallen and broken, and dust billowing everywhere.

Shino knelt on one knee, panting heavily. After a fierce battle, his chakra was completely exhausted, and he had no strength left.

His trench coat was tattered and torn, revealing his bleeding skin and flesh.

Even though the secret technique of parasitizing evil insects gave him a variety of fighting styles, he was ultimately not a reincarnated person with heaven-defying bloodline, so it would be difficult for him to win a complete victory against three opponents.

Moreover, the Sound Ninja trio on the other side are not weak among ordinary genin!

It's worth mentioning that Shino's sunglasses weren't broken, retaining their original mystique.

"Damn it! They used those damn bugs to block the vent, causing me such a serious injury!"

Sack Stirrup was furious, his bloodshot eyes filled with murderous intent.

His arms hung limply at his sides, and bright red blood dripped down his mangled wrists and palms.

"Hahaha, serves you right! Who told you to be so smug after only managing to hit your opponent a little?"

Qin Chui, who was standing next to him, had long disliked his arrogant and conceited behavior and couldn't help but speak up and make sarcastic remarks.

"You're not much better off, are you? Even your own blade was destroyed," Tos Kinu said coldly.

As the strongest member of the trio, he only suffered minor injuries, which were almost negligible.

One against three, seriously injuring one and disarming another, Shino's record was outstanding among ninjas of the same era.

If Kiba and Hinata hadn't been attacked by Orochimaru, the Sound Ninja trio wouldn't have had much of a chance against Team 8.

Unfortunately, the cruel world of ninjas has no "what ifs"...

"Transfer your chakra to me and finish the mission quickly."

As Tosu Kinu finished speaking, the Sound Ninja trio finally reached a consensus and stepped forward to approach the exhausted Shino.

Orochimaru's order to them was to kill Hinata Hyuga completely, something they dared not disobey under any circumstances!

Sak-Stirrup and Koto-Hammer simultaneously channeled their chakra, frantically pouring it into Tosu-Kinugami's arms, which were equipped with ninja tools.

The vents on the ninja tool immediately spewed out a large amount of steam, followed by a loud sound wave that was enough to deafen all the creatures around it.

"Extremely loud and piercing!"

Without any pity, Tosu Kinu unleashed his powerful fists at the fallen Shino!

The terrifying sonic attack tore through the ground, kicking up dust that had turned to powder, and hurtled straight toward Shino with unstoppable force.

"Shino!!"

Amidst Kiba's horrified scream, the sonic wave shattered the insect wall that Shino had painstakingly built, causing him to cough up blood and fly backward like a rag doll, crashing heavily in front of the tree hole.

Amidst the billowing dust, the figures of the Sound Ninja trio gradually approached, bringing a suffocating sense of despair.

"Damn it! Damn it, damn it, damn it!!"

Ya clenched his fist tightly, not caring that blood was constantly seeping out.

Despite his immense reluctance, he ultimately compromised for the sake of Shino and Hinata, taking out a mission scroll from his ninja pouch on his lap, intending to surrender and save his life.

Suddenly, a bloody hand emerged from the thick smoke and gripped his arm tightly.

"Inside the motor, the teeth..."

Despite being covered in blood, Shino forced himself to stay afloat, stopping Kiba from surrendering.

Although he hated this pointless persistence, it was Hinata's request before she fell asleep, and it was the path Kiba had always dreamed of. How could he give up so easily?!

"Shino, you bastard..."

Kiba stood there, stunned, staring blankly at Shino, whose head was bleeding profusely. He never imagined that this cool and incredibly sassy guy would persist to this extent!

"A will to never give up, even at the cost of death? How utterly foolish, they still haven't realized it..."

Tos the Anvil approached the two, his bandaged face filled with icy eyes. "We want more than just the scroll; we want the three of you dead!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his arm, which was radiating sound waves, was raised high and slammed down towards Shino's head!

boom!

A muffled sound rang out, and blood splattered.

As expected, the bloody scene of a head being smashed did not occur. On the contrary, Tos Anvil, who launched the attack, was blasted dozens of meters away, smashing several large trees and lying in the debris!

"So, that state is..."

"Are you kidding me? How could this be?!"

Sak Stirrup and Qin Hammer stared in disbelief, their bodies instinctively gripped by fear.

sizzle.

The raging hurricane swept away the remaining smoke and dust, revealing Hinata surrounded by an unusually violent purple aura, her fair face covered with black curse marks.

Combined with her unusually fierce white eyes, she exuded a chilling sense of oppression.

Hinata Hyuga successfully withstood the corruption of the Heavenly Curse Seal and awoke from her deep coma!

"Hinata, you..."

Seeing Hinata's completely unfamiliar appearance, even Kiba, her teammate, felt a little intimidated and subconsciously took two steps back.

The red ball on his head trembled.

Hinata remained expressionless and did not respond. Instead, she slowly raised her eyes to look at the opposite side: Sakura, Stirrup, and Harp.

Whoosh!

In a moment, her figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

When it reappeared, it had already crossed several meters and arrived in front of Qin Chui!

Qin Chui was in a panic. Just as she was about to attack, a tearing pain spread throughout her body, causing her to spit out blood and let out a shrill scream.

—In the blink of an eye, Hinata's powerful Bagua Palm strike landed on her abdomen!

Qin's hammer was knocked away on the spot and fell unconscious in the bushes in the distance.

"Monster, you monster!"

The remaining Sack Stirrup still tried to struggle, roaring as it charged forward.

As expected, in just one exchange, he was struck by sixty-four palms, and almost all of his acupoints were destroyed!

The outcome of the battle has now been decided.

However, Hinata, filled with murderous intent, had no intention of letting them go and approached them step by step.

The Byakugan, representing death, is cold and ruthless. When the two sides were completely reversed, the Sound Ninja trio no longer had their previous arrogant attitude. They were so frightened that they were scared out of their wits and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

In the end, Hinata was unable to withstand the terrifying power of the Heavenly Curse Seal. Her vision went black, and she collapsed into Kiba's arms as he rushed over.

The eerie black lines gradually dissipated, returning to the three-tomoe seal.

The Sound Ninja trio were overjoyed at the sight and were about to launch a counterattack when a figure descended from the sky.

His flowing long hair, white robe, and cold, calm eyes all spoke volumes about his status.

It was none other than Hyuga Neji, the genius ninja from the Hyuga branch family!

"That's enough. If you dare to take another step forward, I can't guarantee you'll leave safely."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 73 A Decision Made Out of Interest: Feng Qi Enters the Competition!

Neji's eyes bulged with veins, he activated his Byakugan, and assumed the starting stance of the Hyuga Gentle Fist.

In fact, he had already arrived here after hearing the commotion when Shino was blasted away by the sound wave.

Since they were all ninjas from the same village, he originally wanted to help her, but he never expected to see Hinata in such a terrible state.

The burst of chakra at that moment even made him feel a slight tremor in his heart!

The reason he chose to appear at this time to protect Hinata is simple: ever since his brother Fengqi wiped out those high and mighty main families, he no longer harbors any hostility towards Hinata.
