Living your daily life in a shonen anime seems to be wrong.

But Kakashi was more concerned about it.

According to what he knew, although Honglian had received guidance from Qiye, the total time spent on it was not very long.

Even so, he could easily defeat Zabuza.

So, what level of strength would Hyuga Hanabi, who has spent more than two years with Nanaya, have reached?

He didn't underestimate her just because she was a seven-year-old girl; no one understood these things better than Kakashi.

When he graduated at the age of five and became a Chunin at the age of six, many people underestimated him.

However, he is still alive and well, while those who underestimated him on the battlefield have long since been crushed to pieces.

Upon discovering that Hinata Hyuga was injured, while Hanabi Hyuga remained expressionless, Kakashi couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"Perhaps, Qiye has also taught an extraordinary person."

That's what he thought.

Red Lotus, and Hinata Hanabi.

But he was clearly wrong; Qiye did indeed train two people.

However, one of them was not a red lotus, but a yukata.

Her yukata was quite eye-catching. Although she had kept a low profile since arriving in Konoha, her age of ten was still a factor.

Generally speaking, in peacetime, unless there is a severe shortage of manpower, ten-year-olds are still kept in ninja academies to continue their studies.

Well, Sunagakure, which is pursuing an elite strategy, is indeed a bit short-handed.

Even so, it's not really appropriate to promote someone to Chunin at the age of ten.

But Sunagakure still sent her.

Moreover, it was only when I paid real attention that I realized this girl's strength was somewhat terrifying.

When it was her turn to play, she defeated her opponent in no time.

Then they left and disappeared, their whereabouts unknown.

Kakashi glanced around and noticed that Hinata Hanabi was also gone.

coincidence?

Kakashi frowned slightly, looking at the Icha Icha Paradise in his hand.

However, I couldn't read a word of what was written on it.

Crimson Lotus killed Zabuza in a few moves. Back then, Hinata Hyuga seemed to have defeated Hinata Hyuga in just a few moves. Now, Yukata has also defeated her opponent in a few moves.

This doesn't seem strange at all; many people believe in a one-hit kill, ending the battle as quickly as possible.

But for some reason, I had a vague feeling in my heart.

There's a feeling that these three people's fighting methods were inherited from the same person.

Is it just an illusion?

……

Hyuga family.

In Hinata Hanabi's room.

This is no longer a room, but a small courtyard.

Because it is valued, this request can be met.

Perhaps she learned it from Nanaya, but Hinata Hanabi doesn't really like being with others and prefers to be alone and quiet.

The same goes for their living quarters; the only person who comes and goes here most often is Hyuga Natsu, their maid.

But now the maid is not here, so Hinata Hanabi brewed the tea herself.

"Yukata-clad sister, it's been half a year since we last saw each other, hasn't it?"

"Yes, it's been half a year. How is the teacher?"

Yukata nodded and asked another question.

She had no contact with Qi Ye. Although she knew that Qi Ye was in the Snow Country, it was inconvenient to contact him in this day and age.

In comparison, she felt that Hinata Hanabi might have a closer connection with Shichiya, since Shichiya had taken her all over the world when she was still young.

However, this time they guessed wrong.

"How is Brother Qiye now? I was thinking of writing to him, but then I thought better of it. It seems like there's a lot going on in the Land of Snow. Brother Qiye hasn't written to me either. A while ago, he did something big in the Land of Waves."

"I've heard about it."

Yukata nodded, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

The events in the Land of Waves are generally known to everyone, except in remote, isolated areas and among people who don't care about such matters.

In the ninja world, it has been a long time since a Jonin has been instantly killed.

Hinata Hanabi also picked up her teacup and took a sip.

He put down his teacup and seemed to exhale softly.

"After the Chunin Exams are over, let's find a world and go see Brother Nanaya together. Thinking back, I was happier playing with Brother Nanaya before."

As she said this, a sweet smile appeared on her face.

However, saying such old-fashioned things does seem a bit strange.

Mingming is just a seven-year-old girl.

But the yukata doesn't seem to think so.

Qi Ye is a remarkable person; he taught them to be quite mature, yet they still retained the innocence of young girls.

However, when the Chunin Exams were mentioned, Yuka frowned.

"When the teacher left, he said that something might happen between Sunagakure and Konoha. Perhaps it would happen during the Chunin Exams, but I don't know what it will be. No one has told me."

She was just an ordinary ninja, and although she had great potential, there were some things that were not the right time to tell her, so the people of Sunagakure naturally didn't say anything.

However, she herself realized it.

"Moreover, during the second exam, I discovered that there was a very formidable candidate among the test takers."

"Yes, I've noticed it too, but I don't know who it is."

Hinata Hanabi nodded in agreement.

Those who can use Sage Mode are more sensitive to chakra and aura, making them far more powerful than many sensory ninjas.

But Orochimaru and the others had never seen him before, so they couldn't tell the difference.

Judging solely from the chakra and aura reactions, he was considered a master.

One, a master no less than the Five Kage.

Such a person mingling among the test takers clearly has ulterior motives.

However, you can't consult anyone about something like this, and even if you did, the other party might not believe you.

That's why Hinata Hanabi came to her house with a yukata after the exam.

Firstly, it's been a long time since we last saw each other, so we wanted to catch up.

Secondly, regarding this matter...

But the two girls couldn't come up with anything concrete, so they could only take it one step at a time.

"No matter what, it's always better to be careful."

"Ah."

Chapter Sixty-Six: Still haven't gotten what was said that day...

Snow country, shrine.

One morning.

Nanaya lay in bed, her left eye half-open, staring blankly at the shrine ceiling.

The main problem is that he's a bit confused right now.

It should be morning now, right?

If it's in the morning, then you should get up.

But is it really morning?

Maybe it's just my imagination, and morning hasn't arrived yet.

But the sun seems to have already risen; it really is morning.

Is it really the sun?

Maybe someone is just shining a high-powered light outside.

No, no, no, that was indeed the sun.

Is that really the sun? Is it really morning?

Why do we even have mornings? I wish mornings would never come.

But it really does seem to be morning now.

"..."

He stared at the ceiling, remaining silent for a long time.

Then, cover your head with the blanket.

"It was all just an illusion in the morning!"

……

morning.

After breakfast, Fuuka Koyuki had someone take some documents and then took a car to the shrine.
