Konoha: Start by unraveling the caged bird!

Chapter 18 Fish

The wind was a little noisy, Yuzuru Hyuga couldn't hear clearly, so he simply stopped exercising, and pushed his glasses while calming down his breathing.

"Hinata Kaoru, if I remember correctly."

"What did you want to ask me just now?"

he asked.

With a light jump, the girl jumped down from the embankment and slid down the slope full of green grass, her movements were gentle and sensitive, a bit like she was skiing.

"Hey, whoosh."

She made a cute little sound of luck, and when she slid to the river, she successfully landed on flat ground.

Patting the skirt and shaking off the grass clippings on the skirt, she raised her head and looked at Yuzuru Hyuga with a familiar smile: "I was just asking. Master Yuzuru trained so hard, What's the point of trying so hard?"

"We are separate people and no matter how hard we try, we can't change that."

"Even if Master Yuzuru is outstanding, his final outcome is nothing more than becoming a more powerful Nishiza-sama."

"This Future"

"Is there really any point in working hard?"

She asked with a smile, as she got closer, Yuzuru Hyuga realized that the girl was a head taller than herself.

Well, if nothing else, she is eight years old.

A girl who is three years older than herself is logically just a child, but Yuzuru Hinata did not underestimate her because of this—Uchiha Itachi can enter the Anbe at the age of eight. In this world, age is not Belittle each other's reasons.

not to mention.
Yuzuru Hyuga smiled slightly: "Isn't that the fate of a separated family?"

Hinata Kaoru shook his head, and winked at him mischievously: "Master Yuzuru, that's not what I'm asking."

"You can't just lie down completely just because you are in a separated family." Yuzuru Hyuga's words for lying down won the girl's heart.

Kaoru Hinata pondered for a while, then said with a smile, "Lie flat, it's an interesting description."

"By the way, Master Yuzuru has actually memorized the names of everyone in the Hyuga family." Kaoru Hinata changed the topic and made a sigh: "I thought that Master Yuzuru would not remember me. Woolen cloth."

Indeed, if I didn't write down everyone's name on purpose, I really don't know who you are.

Hinata Yuzuru thought hard about her impression of this girl, but she could only remember that this was the daughter of a branch family, or to be precise, an orphan.

Her father's name was on the list of sacrifices in World War Three, and her mother seemed to have died accidentally when she was very young, and the specific reason was forgotten.

"Are there any difficulties in your life recently? If you are short of money or need help, please feel free to tell me." Hinata Yuzuru's words surprised the girl.

Hinata Kaoru looked at him quietly for a while, the white eyes under those black-rimmed glasses were only gentle and concerned.

What a terrible man.

Kaoru Hinata didn't even want to describe the monster in front of him as a boy.

Yes, monsters.

She never thought that a five-year-old boy could do so much.

Perhaps others would simply guess that this young man is probably born with a good memory, love and kindness, but Kaoru Hinata never thought of it that way.

Because she knew Yuzuru Hinata's secret, a huge secret that she shouldn't have discovered.

A secret that has been treasured and protected by her since two years ago and is not known to anyone. In this world, it may only belong to each other's secret.

"Why do you want to cover up the curse mark on your forehead? Master Yuxian, you never covered it before. The reason why you did that was to spur yourself to work hard, right? But why have you been covering it up with a hair band recently?" She asked suddenly.

The gentle smile in Yuzuru Hyuga's eyes gradually disappeared.

Something is not right.

He gently pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose: "Ah"

Hyuga Yuzuru's gaze sank, and he thought for a moment thoughtfully, and then, the moment he raised his eyes, his whole body seemed to have changed his soul, his temperament changed drastically, and he walked forward slowly.

Even at this moment, his height is a little lower than that of Hinata Kaoru.

But when he looked up again, those indifferent and pure eyes, which seemed to be piled up by countless snowflake crystals, were only left with a dangerous arc, and a sense of terror and oppression that made Hinata Kaoru feel a little dazed for a while.

"What do you want to hear from me?"

His tone was still gentle, but there was no trace of the easy-going smile on his face.

Kaoru Hinata looked at Yuzuru Hinata like this.

But suddenly, a very sincere smile appeared.

"Isn't that right?" She said softly, her expression became a little excited because of this, Xia Fei's cheeks were flushed.

Yuzuru Hyuga stretched out his hand, and gently tapped her heart with two fingers, but Kaoru Hinata did not evade, the smile on his face was a little shy because of his actions, it seemed that the actions of the two seemed a little ambiguous, but that day When the frightening blue chakra shone on Yuzuru's finger, it didn't seem so wonderful.

"As much as I don't like doing it, sorry."

"Can you tell me what exactly you want to say?"

Yuzuru Hinata's eyes were filled with apology, but also, killing intent!
What surprised him was the girl's subsequent actions.

She took a step forward, held the hand that contained the terrifying chakra with both hands devoutly, and approached him as if offering her heart, her eyes were full of eagerness and sincerity: "Master Yuxian, please take Let me go together! Wherever it is, whatever you want me to do."

Hyuga Yuzuru was silent for a moment, and at this moment, he probably guessed the intention of the girl in front of him.

she doesn't think
I have worked so hard, coupled with my recent active performance, I have found a method and plan to get rid of the caged bird, and I plan to run away, right?
Compared with the girl's purpose, Yuzuru Hyuga cares more about another thing.

There was no smile on his face, the girl's pious look and sincere eyes did not shake his expression at all, even the chakra on the right hand that was caught in some softness never restrained.

"answer my question."

Hyuga Yuzuru's words did not disappoint Hyuga Kaoru, she was just gentle, staring at Hyuga Yuzuru with those beautiful eyes: "Master Yuzuru, do you know when we first met?"

Yuzuru Hyuga quickly recalled the memories of recent years in his mind. He crawled out of his mother's womb to "travel through the reincarnation flow". Even the memory of his infancy was not vague. Still nothing.

"Two years ago, when you and your father were together?" This was Hyuga Yuzuru's impression of the first meeting in his mind.

Hinata Kaoru shook her head, she whispered about her first impression of Hinata Yuzuru.

"The first time I met Master Yuxian was the day he was planted in a caged bird."

Yuzuru Hyuga quickly recalled the memories of that day in his mind.

Then, I discovered something strange in my memory that was worth pondering.

"What did you see that night?"

The cold light in Yuzuru Hyuga's eyes flashed away.

Hinata Kaoru chuckled lightly, and said eloquently: "That night, I couldn't sleep, so I secretly wandered around the branch house alone, but unexpectedly, I heard the sound from the martial arts arena."

That was the darkest day in Yuzuru Hyuga's life since he traveled through time.

Under the watchful eyes of Hyuga Hinata, he was personally sealed with the caged bird seal by the elders of the Hyuga Clan.

Even though he was calm and well-behaved at the scene, he never complained to his father.

But that night, unable to fall asleep, he went to the martial arts field alone.

cry?

He's not that weak yet.

However, the negative emotions such as anger and hatred caused by the curse mark of the bird in the cage cannot be suppressed at all.

So, he uncontrollably vented his anger on the training ground, silent but furious, over and over again stretched out his hand and hammered the innocent wooden stake until blood flowed from both fists, and he hit his forehead hard on the wooden stake. On the pile, at the same time, he made up his mind.

He still remembers that he clearly felt the tingling pain on his forehead, while gnashing his teeth, he made the oath.

"I will definitely tear this cage apart with my own hands."

Then, he treated the wound by himself and went back to the room.

At that time, Yuzuru Hinata, who had only practiced for less than half a year and was barely strong enough to even be a Ninja, didn't notice it.

A young girl quietly hid behind the door of the Martial Arts Field, through the crack of the door, she witnessed the only moment when he lost control of his emotions since he crossed.

Since then, Kaoru Hinata began to subconsciously pay attention to his every move.

"Since then, I have often secretly watched Master Yuzuru in the crowd."

"What surprised and puzzled me was that Master Yuxian, who showed his sharpness that night and looked a little scary, disappeared."

Kaoru Hinata spoke eloquently, recounting her subsequent experiences.

Yuzuru Hinata was a little absent-minded, the chakra in his hand disappeared, but Kaoru Hinata still held his hand, maintaining the posture just now.

"Master Yuxian has become gentler, more mature, and more stable."

"I started to remember the names of everyone who separated, and I started to have a good relationship with everyone on purpose."

"It also gets harder."

"On the longest day, Master Yuxian actually stayed alone in the martial arts field for twelve hours."

"It's a pity that I can't get close to Mr. Risai's martial arts arena. I can only watch Master Yuxian go in and out from a distance, day after day."

"I also began to think about what Master Yuxian was thinking about, and what was the purpose of all this."

In Hinata Kaoru's eyes, there was a little longing and excitement: "Until now, I am not sure what Master Yuzuru is thinking. You must have the same thoughts as me!"

In her white eyes, there was only expectation: "So, Master Yuxian, please tell me."

"You train so hard, you work so hard to become the hope in the eyes of all branch family members, and become a genius recognized by everyone. What's the point of all this?"

What she asked was meaning.

Hyuga Yuzuru understood that what she was asking was the purpose, and she even actively wanted to know if he had a plan now, and where the plan was implemented, and she sincerely wanted to join.

He stared at her indifferently for a while, then withdrew his right hand.

"What qualifications do you have, and in what capacity are you asking me questions?" he said.

Kaoru just smiled.

She looked directly into the eyes of the young man in front of her, and without avoiding it, she faced her heart and gave the answer: "Please set me free!"

"No matter what you want is my twisted and sick soul, or this incompetent body, I am willing to give everything, as long as I can break free from this cage, even if it is just for a second."

Kaoru Hinata's words failed to receive a positive answer in the end.

Hyuga Yuzuru just put on a gentle smile again, and said softly: "Then keep quiet first."

"Yes!" Hinata Kaoru's voice was full of joy.

"Also, I think it is human nature to long for freedom, and this is not a twisted and pathological thing."

Yuzuru Hinata gave her a partial positive response,
Regarding this, she just smiled shyly and softly, noncommittal.

The two who had no further communication fell into silence, Yuzuru Hinata, who had lost interest, stopped practicing, picked up the bucket and fishing rod containing the big fish, and returned to Hinata's house with her one after the other.

That night, Hyuga Yuzuru asked Hyuga Nizashi to investigate all the information of Hyuga Kaoru overnight.

PS: Sometimes, just a little bit of hope can make people do their best.

Ah, where is my hope?Hey, collection and recommendation tickets, right?Got it!Now go write a manuscript!
