Naruto training king.

Chapter 222 Hinata: You just like to take advantage of opportunities, right!
Similarly, the best person is selected from a group of people to be the leader.

But the Sand Village chose someone who was barely qualified from a group of short people, while the Konoha Village chose the tallest one from a group of tall people.

Just as Ebizo said, Hinata Kiyomi may not be the best one in Konoha, but if he were in the Sand Village, he would definitely be the best choice for the Kazekage candidate.

But neither he nor Chiyo would have thought that Hinata Kiyomi was actually in the Sand Village. But he was not here to be the Kazekage, but used a transformation technique to disguise himself as a middle-aged man, queuing up to buy roasted chestnuts.

Hinata Hyuga stood beside him with her arms folded across her chest, also using transformation techniques to disguise herself, but she looked like she was in a bad mood.

After waiting in line for a while, it was finally Hinata Kiyomi's turn. The boss saw the Sand Village forehead protector on his head and asked with a smile, "Mr. Ninja, how many do you want?"

Qing Mi took a look and frowned slightly: "Boss, your price is a bit too expensive."

"Master Ninja, as you know, there is a war going on outside right now, and the prices of everything are rising. In addition, the entire Sand Village is under martial law, and just delivering the goods in is... oh, it's difficult."

The boss paused for a moment and whispered in his ear, "To be honest, these chestnuts you see are the last of my stock."

Qing Mi laughed, but didn't expose him. He just said, "In that case, give me two kilograms of each type."

Hearing this, the boss paused with his hand holding the bag, a little surprised: "Hey, Master Ninja, do you want so much?"

Now is a wartime, everything is scarce, everyone will buy rice, meat and other necessities if they have money. Although chestnuts are also food, they are just snacks for entertainment, not to mention that he has raised the price several times.

Seeing the boss's eyes turn suspicious, Hinata Kiyomi frowned slightly, with a hint of just the right amount of sadness in his eyes: "Well, to be honest, my daughter's favorite thing to eat is roasted chestnuts."

"Don't think that I have time to buy chestnuts now. In fact, I will go to the battlefield in a while, and I don't know if I will have the chance to see her in the future. I just want to take advantage of the time I have in the next few days to spend more time with her..."

The boss looked up at him, then looked at Hyuga Hinata next to him. Seeing that both of them had Sand Village forehead protectors on their heads, the boss couldn't help but ask, "Who is this?"

Kiyomi reached out and took Hinata's left hand, interlocking their fingers: "This is my love, and she... is the same."

Hinata put her legs together, pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and could not tell much emotion from her. But one could clearly feel that she was a little depressed, as if she was forcibly holding back the emotions in her heart.

"I'm so sorry." The boss bowed slightly, then began to open the pocket in his hand and started to fill the chestnuts.

As a small vendor, the boss is actually very talkative. Seeing the atmosphere so silent, he instinctively wants to chat about something to make the customers happy. But...what can he chat about now?

It was not until he packed a portion of chestnuts and weighed them that he suddenly spoke: "I saw a lot more ninjas in the village in the past few days. I thought the war outside was about to end."

Hearing the boss's words, Qingmi's pupils shrank slightly. He pretended nothing happened and lowered his voice: "In fact, the war situation is very serious. I have already prepared myself to never see my daughter again."

At this point, he stopped and looked around, then continued, "But we don't know why. Anyway, we suddenly received an order from above, asking us to abandon the outer front and return to the village as soon as possible."

This information was obtained by Kurama Yakumo who used illusion to capture a team from the Sand Village and tortured the leader of the team, a Chunin. As for the reason for withdrawing to the village, that was not information that this team had access to.

Hinata Hyuga thought this was a good opportunity, so they used transformation techniques collectively and assisted by Yakumo Kurama's illusion technique, allowing them to successfully enter the Sand Village on behalf of the Sand Village team.

Although they managed to sneak in, they would be exposed if they stayed there for a while longer. So after entering the Sand Village, everyone immediately dispersed and searched for intelligence according to the predetermined plan.

The boss was very surprised. Anyone who was not stupid would understand what it meant to abandon the defense line and retreat to the village: "Then what about the Wind Kingdom now..."

Qing Mi nodded: "Yes, this is non-resistance. Let the ninjas from the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire do whatever they want on the land of the Land of Wind!"

Speaking of temperament, Qingmi gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and then threw a punch, but quickly retracted his strength when it was about to hit the door frame next to him.

He was silent for a moment, then sighed: "...I'm so sorry, I almost broke your door frame."

"Nothing." The boss also sighed and handed him the packaged chestnuts.

Kiyomi stretched out his hands to take a few bags of chestnuts. Hinata beside him took out a wallet from her arms, counted out a few bills from it and handed them over.

The boss took it and counted it. Finally, he paused for a moment, took out two bills and handed them back: "It's not easy for you either. Just take this little money back."

"No, I've left enough money for my family, you should just take it," Qingmi hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Sooner or later... it will be useful."

The boss' eyes suddenly widened, as if he had thought of something: "From your tone, what does this mean?"

Qing Mi sneered: "Ha, why do you think the higher-ups ordered us to return to the village? Let's run while we still have a chance. Sand Village..."

“It’s not safe anymore.”

Then, Kiyomi and Hinata walked away with the chestnuts in their hands without looking back. After a while, they disappeared around the corner, leaving the boss with a gloomy face standing there thinking.

At this moment, the next customer came in and saw the boss standing there. He called out to him a few times but got no response. He couldn't help but yelled, "Boss, are you still going to do this business?"

"Yes! Yes!" The boss nodded quickly. "This customer, please take a look first. Wait for me for a moment."

Then the boss ran behind the counter, took out a piece of white paper, wrote "50% off all items" in large letters with a pen, and pasted it outside the door.

On the other side, Hinata Kiyomi walked into an empty alley, took out a storage scroll, put all the chestnuts in it, and then summoned Bai Xue.

At this moment, Hyuga Hinata reached out and hugged Shirayuki, snorting softly: "Because of your unauthorized actions, I was kept waiting for forty-seven minutes. It's really a big deal."

Purchasing chestnuts was not in their original plan, let alone buying them for Temari who was far away in Konoha Village.

Qingmi's hand holding the scroll stopped stiffly in mid-air, then he stared at him with wide eyes, revealing a hint of confusion in his expression.

Hinata was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The young lady is definitely not so cute as to tolerate a man thinking about another woman on a date and foolishly follow him around until he finishes buying gifts." Qingmi smiled faintly and raised his hand to point at her, "Could you be Kurama Yakumo in disguise?"

Hinata's cheeks flushed for a moment, and she almost couldn't maintain the transformation technique: "Am I such a jealous girl in your heart?"

Kiyomi's fists met his palms, and he suddenly realized, "You are indeed Kurama Yakumo, Hinata-chan will not be so mean to me."

"It's lame to mention other girls on a date." Hinata turned away, shook her long hair, and didn't look at him.

"Meow!" Bai Xue suddenly called out, and grabbed Hinata's shoulders with her two claws, "Hinata, be a little gentler."

Hinata quickly untied her hands and said apologetically, "I'm sorry!"

I was so shy just now that I subconsciously held Bai Xue’s hands with a little more force.

Bai Xue climbed onto her shoulder and lay down, sniffing slightly and looking around: "Where is this place?"

"It's the Sand Village."

"Niao, I remember now, this is the hometown of the girl named Temari, right?"

Hinata nodded, "Yeah."

Shirayuki arched her body and jumped to the ground, "So are you guys on some kind of infiltration mission? Should I leave quickly to avoid exposing you guys."

"Originally."

The kitten was puzzled: "What do you mean originally?"

Hinata sighed slightly and raised her chin towards Qingmi.

As soon as it turned around, it saw Hinata Kiyomi hanging a storage scroll on it: "Because I ran to buy roasted chestnuts halfway, please bring this to Temari after returning to Konoha."

"I see," Koneko nodded, "By the way, why did you go buy chestnuts for a girl while you were on a mission? You're a ninja!"

Qingmi stood up and looked at the Fengying Building standing in the distance: "Maybe it's because such a good place will be gone soon. If we don't buy some before we make a move, she may not be able to eat it in the future."

Hearing this, Bai Xue raised her paw and wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead: "Qing Mi, you are really kind, meow!"

Hinata couldn't help but laugh, pinched its cheek, and continued: "Just listen to his nonsense, we only plan to attack the Kazekage Building, we won't be so shameless as to go and massacre ordinary people."

Maomao discovered the truth: "So you just wanted to make the girl happy, put the task aside, and went to buy roasted chestnuts, right?"

"Of course." Qingmi put his hands on his waist and narrowed his eyes, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so. After saying that, he pondered for a while and looked up at the sky: "When you encounter difficulties, it is a very painful thing to have no one to rely on."

Hinata raised her hand and waved it in command, "So, Kiyomi wants to take advantage of the situation and become someone Temari can rely on?"

As she said this, she crossed her arms, turned her head to the side, and muttered, "Now that I think about it, Kurama Yakumo was the same. How despicable."

Hinata Kiyomi smiled, walked up to her and took her hand: "Actually, I also want to be someone Hinata can rely on."

Hinata's cheeks were flushed with a beautiful blush, but she didn't seem to want to admit defeat. She used a little force to try to pull her hand back.

But Qingmi's grip was too tight, and she couldn't pull it away: "Really, I didn't allow you to hold my hand."

“But I want to hold it.”

"Really?" Hinata nodded, loosened her fingers and intertwined them: "If you want me to let it go this time, you have to show the corresponding sincerity."

Qingmi lowered his head and stared at her profile: "What do you want from me?"

Hinata turned her head away and looked at the ground: "You should figure this out yourself."

"Then..." Qingmi took a half step forward and moved closer, "How about a kiss now?"

"Da-me!" Hinata pressed her free right hand against his face, "I don't want to do this with a transformation shell on."

At this moment, a dangerous breath suddenly came from the air.

Qingmi's eyes suddenly widened, he unleashed the transformation technique, and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave here with Hinata Hyuga.

"Meow!"

Bai Xue screamed and looked angrily at the empty space in front of her: "Qingmi, you didn't take me with you!"

The next second, with a "bang!", Shirayuki released the summoning technique and returned to Konoha.

Hyuga Kiyomi and Hyuga Hinata had just landed when an explosion was heard. A corner of the sand-proof wall surrounding the Sand Village collapsed, raising a cloud of dust that almost submerged the Sand Village.

Kurama Yakumo immediately came to his side and asked, "Kiyomi, what's wrong?"

"The situation is still unclear, so protect yourself first." He shook his head, opened his Byakuya eyes and looked towards the outskirts of the Sand Village.

"This is!"

Hinata's exclamation came from the side. She rolled her eyes and looked back at her companions in Konoha: "Everyone, hold hands and be ready to leave here at any time."

"Roar!!!"

An earth-shaking roar sounded, and in the rising dust, a claw burning with blue flames stretched out.

Two tails, another journey!

The Sand Village does not have any perception barrier, and the Sand Village ninjas did not realize that there was an enemy invasion until they were attacked.

It opened its mouth wide, and the black and white chakra continued to gather and condense into a fist-sized dark red sphere. Of course, it was the size of its fist.

Then he aimed at the sand-proof walls around the Sand Village and spit out the Tailed Beast Ball in his mouth. Before this Tailed Beast Ball exploded, it had already condensed another Tailed Beast Ball of the same size.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Explosions sounded one after another around the Sand Village. In the face of such a horrific natural disaster, ninjas seemed to be no different from ordinary people.

But then again, no, it should be that the purpose of the wood man seems to be just to intimidate, otherwise she should condense a large tailed beast ball and aim directly at the center of the Sand Village.

And her goal has been achieved. Panic began to spread in the Sand Village. Even many ninjas were dominated by fear and no longer obeyed orders.

Kazekage Building.

Chiyo squeezed the scroll in her hand and scolded, "Damn Raikage, he actually sent the tailed beasts here!"

Looking at that huge figure, Ebizo's heart sank: "Sister, what should we do?"

"Tailed beast!"

Chiyo's nails were almost digging into the scroll, and the two words that came out of her throat were filled with deep powerlessness.

The world is like a pyramid, with a foundation that makes up everything, a backbone that connects the upper and lower parts, and a top that stands above everything.

The same goes for the Ninja Village.

There is no doubt that the power of the tailed beasts is at the top of this world. Under normal circumstances, every ninja village has a tailed beast and the power to deal with the tailed beasts, which is commonly known as the shadow.

But now in the Sand Village, there are neither tailed beasts nor shadows, just like the top of a pyramid has been cut off.

Facing the invasion of the two-tailed beast, even if more puppets and ninjas were added, it would be in vain. Just as an elephant only needs one kick to crush a group of ants, the tailed beast only needs one tailed beast ball to destroy the ninja army.

Chiyo and Ebizo were both experienced and wise. When they heard that some Kumogakure ninjas had entered the Kingdom of Wind, they knew why they came.

Looking at the arrogant monster, Chiyo punched the table and said, "It would be great if it wasn't a tailed beast!"

If it wasn't the tailed beast that came, even if it was a Kage, the Sand Village could still stage a drama of ants biting down an elephant, just like the battle between the Iwagakure Village and the Third Raikage.

Ebizo took out the scroll that recorded the Magnetic Release and Scorch Release from the table, his cloudy eyes filled with hesitation: "Sister, should we give this thing away?"

Just like the Third Hokage, once people get old, they no longer have the courage and decisiveness they had when they were young.

But the reason why Ebizo hesitated was not because he was reluctant to give up the two bloodline limits, but because these were the only bargaining chips that the Sand Village could bring to the negotiation table.

The ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village have already rushed into the Hidden Sand Village, but the Two-Tails still stands next to the sand-proof wall, occasionally releasing a small Tailed Beast Ball to intimidate and threaten.

Isn't it doing this because it is worried that the scroll containing the bloodline limit will be destroyed?

But if this scroll is given to these bandits, who can guarantee that they will not destroy the bridge after crossing it and instruct the Two-Tails to attack the center of the Sand Village before leaving?
Chiyo closed her eyes and listened to the roar and explosions in her ears: "We have no choice but to take a gamble."

After saying this, she held on to her body, and the breath she took for working hard for the Sand Village at such an old age dissipated.

"Ah." Ebizo didn't know how many times he had sighed in the past few days, "I'll do it right away."

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a quick knock on the door, and Ebizo shouted without turning his head, "Come in."

"crunch-"

The old wooden door cried out as if it could not bear the weight, and then there was a chaotic sound of footsteps.

Ebizo raised his cane and tapped it on the ground a few times with some dissatisfaction: "Look at you..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard an extremely unfamiliar yet polite voice: "Nice to meet you, two seniors."

Chiyo immediately opened the scroll in her hand, released several puppets dressed in white, and looked at the visitor behind her warily.

Her gaze lingered on Hinata Kiyomi's eyes for a moment, and then fell on the group of people behind him: "Ninjas from Konoha?!"

"Don't worry, we mean no harm, at least for now."

Chiyo smiled contemptuously: "Oh, how can I believe the enemy's words?"

Hinata Kiyomi raised his hand and pointed at the two-tailed beast in the distance: "At least, I'm easier to talk to than that big guy."
