Should I renew Chapter 90?
Upon hearing this, Jiraiya casually extended his hand and smiled, saying, "I didn't expect you to know me. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
However, upon seeing this, the eyes beneath the wooden dummy mask turned into dead fish eyes, and it made no move to react, causing a moment of silence in the room...
Just when Jiraiya thought that Hyuga Kito had seen through his thoughts...
Before Jiraiya could withdraw his hand, Hyuga Kito quickly clenched and then released it, as if muttering to himself, "I think my ears weren't playing tricks on me just now, unless you have another name, of course."
"..." Upon hearing this, Jiraiya suddenly fell silent. So, he didn't actually recognize him?
"In short, thank you for trusting Konoha and choosing to stay."
"Oh, you're welcome. I'll be leaving in a few days."
"...Aren't you staying?"
"Stay? Does that mean renew your subscription?"
"..." Jiraiya didn't respond to that question for the moment. "Although you've all been behaving very well, to be honest, I still don't trust you..."
"Oh, so do I need to renew my subscription?"
"...No." After all, the price was ridiculously high because of Hiashi Hyuga's price increase. Konoha's finances were already a bit tight recently, and Tsunade didn't have that much spare money.
"Then we won't keep them."
Jiraiya's lips twitched slightly. Could we not have a pleasant conversation?
However—on another note, judging from the size of that hand and the skin on it, this guy called Muren shouldn't be very old. How exactly did Yuanxu cultivate or find such a genius?
Seeing that Hyuga Kito remained unmoved, Jiraiya gave up on trying to get information out of him and went straight to the point, "We plan to join forces with other ninja villages to launch a coordinated attack on Akatsuki. What is your stance on this, Genjutsu?"
After all, if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. It's better to clarify some things face to face. If they really wiped out the Akatsuki, they might just use the same method on Gen Urobuchi again.
Although Genjutsu is currently behaving very well and seems to be going against Akatsuki, the fact that he has gathered so many bloodlines with unknown motives could easily become a pretext for other ninja villages to wage war against him. If Genjutsu realizes this and joins forces with Akatsuki, it would be a bad situation.
"If you can do that, then go ahead. Genju will not get involved with either side."
"real?"
Upon hearing this, Hyuga Kito pondered for a moment and said cautiously, "Well, at least I can be sure I won't participate, but I don't know about the others (aliases)." When he said this, Kito hadn't actually thought of this aspect, since the so-called Gen Utopia was just himself, and he could disappear at any time after the matter was over.
Seeing that Hyuga Kito seemed completely unconcerned, Jiraiya suddenly asked, "Then can you tell me your purpose in Genkyuu?"
"Purpose?" Hyuga Kito chuckled upon hearing this. Wasn't this an easy question? As he thought this, Kito tapped the forehead area on his mask with his index finger. "Obviously, I'm going to have that damned Caged Bird tattoo carved on my face..."
He then pointed to the empty eye holes on the mask, "But everywhere else, everyone is fixated on those white eyes. What do you think their purpose is?"
"..." Jiraiya fell silent.
Hyuga Kito shrugged indifferently. "Of course, I don't have any complaints or grievances, because many problems and tragedies are caused by my own lack of strength."
The Hyuga clan is simply too weak. Anyone strong enough would dare to mess with the Byakugan, or force Hyuga Hizashi to his death. However, it must be said that due to the Byakugan's unique nature, the Caged Bird Seal does indeed provide protection for clan members with mediocre talent.
Standing to the side, Hiashi Hyuga didn't refute this, as there was nothing to refute; it was simply the truth. Hiashi even turned to Kito Hyuga and asked, "So, what do you suggest we do?"
However, having said all that, Hyuga Kito shook his head. "If you're asking me, like I just said, my only solution is to get stronger, and then—damn it!!"
"..." It sounds reasonable, but it's actually saying nothing at all. However, given the wooden man's talent, it is indeed a solution.
Meanwhile, Hanabi, who was tugging at Hiashi's clothes and being ignored, seemed to understand something, yet also seemed to understand nothing at all. However, when she heard Hinata Kito's last words, Hanabi's eyes suddenly brightened...
Suddenly, a childish voice rang out from among the three: "Let's fucking get him!"
Hiashi Hyuga's expression stiffened, and he lowered his head slightly. He saw Hanabi looking at her father with a fierce expression, her eyes shining brightly. "Father, when I grow up, I'm going to become the strongest ninja in the Hyuga clan. Anyone who dares to bully us, I'll beat them up! I'll take them down!"
Wooden figure "..."
Jiraiya "..."
Rizu "..."
Hmm, seeing this, Hyuga Kito immediately felt a little guilty and turned his face away. Hmm—it seems like he's set a bad example for the kids, cough cough… Hmm~ I didn't say anything just now! Hmm? Who saw it? Show us the evidence!
Jiraiya suppressed a laugh and gestured to Hiashi Hyuga to quickly correct Hanabi, reminding her that girls shouldn't say things like that!
Of course, as a father, without waiting for Jiraiya's signal, Hiashi Hyuga had already squatted down with a wry smile. "Hanabi, it's good that you have this confidence, but we can be more tactful. For example, if an enemy village dares to provoke us, we can say we'll kill him."
"Kill him?"
"Um."
"..." Goodness, that's really tactful," Hyuga Kito muttered to himself.
"Oh..." Hanabi nodded somewhat bewildered. Hyuga Hiashi was relieved to see that Hanabi had taken his words to heart. However, to prevent her from learning anything else, Hyuga Hiashi sent her back to the house first.
Hiashi Hyuga didn't let Kito bring Hanabi along for this training session, partly because of this consideration. After all, Hanabi is still young and her judgment isn't as strong as Hinata's or Neji's. If Kito leads her astray, it would be troublesome.
However, back inside the house, what Xiaohuahuo was thinking was, "That... kill him!"
……
Meanwhile, on the other side, 'Delivery Guy' Jing, after storing his belongings at the exchange, suddenly noticed two more wanted posters. Curious, he went over to investigate. After all, he had already completed most of the previous missions. Due to the rules of Yuanxu for accepting missions, the exchange was unusually peaceful during that period.
However, after leaning closer to see the contents, Jing suddenly fell silent, because he discovered that the wanted poster depicted his own pseudonym...
Yes, it's Bone-kun and Wooden Man. But the person who issued the bounty probably thought they couldn't be caught, so the bounty is probably just a formality. As for why...
Mirror stared intently at the bounty below the wanted poster. This was definitely fake! The combined bounty of both aliases wasn't even as high as Asuma's!! He was definitely stronger than Asuma, right?!
