Konoha: Archers of the Hyuga family

Hinata Kumokawa stood up, and the color of the originally red chakra ball in his hand changed slightly. The outer ring turned back to the previous lavender color, showing a gradient posture.

Moreover, it has become smaller.

When someone looked up and saw Kushina's serious yet confused expression, he suddenly understood everything.

"Then...senior sister, help me look at the store. I'll leave for a while."

"Go and come back quickly~"

"Ah."

Because of the chakra ball, Hinata Kumokawa had to keep his Byakugan open. In order to prevent being misunderstood on the street, he did not take the usual route and ran all the way back from the roof.

Put on ANBU clothes and put on the mask.

Put the chakra ball directly into the ninja tool bag, then go to the ant nest of the root, leaving the newly developed Flying Thunder God mark on an inconspicuous place along the way, so that if something happens, you can avoid him directly.

After confirming that everything was arranged properly, Hinata Kumokawa walked into the root.

Sure enough, even though the bag contained a huge amount of chakra that Kyuubi had spent an unknown amount of time accumulating, none of them noticed anything was wrong, ruling out the possibility that they didn't like chatting with a madman carrying a nuclear bomb...

Then there is only one possibility.

Kushina, the Intelligence Department, the Root Organization... these ninjas cannot sense the chakra in the chakra ball at all, and can only observe a shimmering ball with the naked eye.

Moreover, as the ball changes color and shrinks, it consumes less and less pupil power.

Because the transformation speed is not fast, Hinata Kumokawa still doesn’t know what will happen if all the spheres turn purple, but he already has a bold guess...

……

……

When Zaotian woke up at night, the sun was already setting.

As usual, the old lady washed up, put away the clothes on the balcony, and then went downstairs to make something to eat. Then she heard some movement in the store and opened the back door to take a look...

It was Kushina repairing the shelves that were damaged by the samurai.

The old lady didn't react for a while.

"Kushina?"

"Ha~ Mother-in-law, you're awake. Yunchuan said you weren't feeling well today, so I didn't bother you... These are the two transaction records in the afternoon, totaling 20 taels."

"Where's Yunchuan?"

"Oh~ He was called away by Danzo-sama. I was originally here to tell him that Minato was on a mission, but I couldn't practice with him today. There was a little accident in the middle, and I didn't have time to tell him..."

dang dang-

Kushina said, still repairing the container.

"Accident...oh~ You broke the container, girl!"

Zaotianye understood everything instantly.

She knew the character of this girl Kushina very well. Although she usually acted like a second-rate person, once someone made her feel uncomfortable, she would not move her mouth even if she could do it.

Almost all the graduates of her class were beaten by her.

During the time when I was preparing to take on the Nine-Tails, I followed Mito and myself to restrain myself a little. After that, Minato didn't come out to cause trouble every day. I guess it was that idiot who forgot the nickname "Blood Red Pepper"...

……

Zaotian lay down on the recliner at night.

"What accident happened? Tell me about it and let me have fun~"

"Well...mother-in-law, have you ever heard of the Otsutsuki clan?"

"You hit a guy named Otsutsuki?"

"No, mother-in-law, listen to me..."

Kushina hesitated for a moment, then told everything that happened in the mental space, including using a small ball that could not sense chakra to quiet the Nine-Tails...

From her perspective, her junior brother was like a magician in the Muggle world, and it triggered Kyuubi's first active communication. Ever since Mito-sama, Kyuubi had been rejecting communication with humans.

So much so that for a long time Kushina felt that Kyuubi was an irrational beast...

As an audience member, Zao Tianye slowly frowned.

What on earth did he, his disciple, read behind his back...

……

……

At this moment, someone who promised Kushina to leave early and come back early has already left Konoha.

One scroll, one task, one address, nothing left.

This was Danzo's order to Hinata Kumikawa.

Not only did this mission come out of the blue, but it was also a solo mission without teammates, and no one was given a name. There was no designated assassination target, and the address was just an ordinary wealthy businessman's home.

Danzo also promised that after Hinata Kumikawa officially becomes a Jonin, the ANBU reconnaissance team will transfer people from the root organization. It will no longer be Hinata Kumikawa, the captain, with two rookies who will serve as leaders for other teams...

Draw a pie.

In a way, this cake is quite delicious.

Although this is not necessary for Hinata Kumikawa, he is not staying in Konoha because Danzo can pancake...

The mission is very far, spanning most of the Fire Nation.

The target location is at the junction of the Kingdom of Yu and the Kingdom of Fire.

Just over halfway through the journey, the chakra ball completely turned purple. It was originally as big as a fist and emitted a faint light. After it was finished, it was only as big as a glass ball and would not emit light.

Of course, there is no need to continue to consume pupil power to maintain a spherical shape.

But if used, pupil power will still be consumed.

After the chakra ball is completely stable, the pupil power can be consumed to change the shape of the ball, just like pinching plasticine, and the pupil power can be consumed to make the internal chakra active again, and then...boom!

Hinata Kumikawa once again thinks of the Tao Jade...

By the time Hinata Kumikawa arrived at the mission location, it was already past two in the morning.

Someone was squatting on the ridge of the house like a ghost, opening his Byakugan to scan the room one by one, confirming the targets that needed to be killed in this mission, and by the way guessing why Danzo gave him this mission.

After all, it is just an ordinary family. Any qualified Root Organization ninja can complete it. If he is specially asked to do it, he must have his plan.

A middle-aged couple, a boy no more than five years old, an old man about 60 years old, two maids about 40 years old, two horses, a girl who has just grown up...

Hinata Kumokawa stood up.

He has understood everything.

Danzo's real target was standing on the other side of the ridge, looking at him with complex eyes. He was also an acquaintance of Hinata Kumikawa, a person whose tombstone had been erected for five years...

"Captain, long time no see."

The girl spoke first.

Hinata Kunchuan looked at her silently and did not reply.

That's right, it's Yuanping Yuki, who died in the mission five years ago and disappeared in the Land of Rain last year, or...the Root Snake.

When they were still companions, Hinata Kumokawa had never met her family, and he only met Kakashi once in the cemetery. Later, Hinata Kumokawa didn't care about the news about their family.

It seems that he left Konoha after his daughter died, and finally settled in this small border town and had a son...

"Is the captain here to kill me?"

The girl asked again.

Hinata Kumokawa silently pulled out the short sword from behind and expressed his intention.

He was not sure whether the person in front of him was a snake or Yuanping Yu. If it was Yuanping Yu, it would be reasonable for Danzo to kill her...after all, she knew too much.

If it's a "snake", then it's aimed at Hinata Kumikawa.

A deliberate test.
