Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird!

Uchiha Shisui noticed that the subtle whirlwind between the two seemed to be unfriendly.

"Then it's settled!" Uchiha Shisui didn't give Kakashi a chance to refuse, and actively tried to get Kakashi to stay.

He felt that there might be some misunderstanding between the two, and he wanted to try to see if he could put aside their grudges and become friends.

For geniuses, the age gap does not prevent each other from becoming friends, just like Hinata Yuzuru-how does he look like a child?

Kakashi Hatake doesn't want to disturb Hinata Yuzuru's birthday. Even if he doesn't have a good impression of Hinata Yuzuru, as a senior, it's not what he should do now.

"Happy birthday." Hatake Kakashi hesitated for a moment, fumbled around and couldn't find anything that could be used as a birthday gift, so he had to whisper: "I will make up for the gift next time we meet."

"Happy birthday is enough." Hinata Yuzuru smiled and looked at Hand.

Tejida also heard the conversation of several people, and laughed loudly in the kitchen: "Happy birthday, Yuzuru, let me treat you to the ramen today."

"No, if you want to wish me a happy birthday, please add more pieces of meat to me." Hinata Yuzuru declined and ordered ramen according to everyone's taste, and the group filled the ramen shop.

Before waiting for the ramen to be served, Hinata Yuzuru looked at Itachi Uchiha: "If this is correct, is Aunt Mikoto about to give birth?"

"Well, a ninja from the Hyuga family saw it and it was a boy." Itachi Uchiha smiled slightly. For him recently, there was nothing better than the birth of his younger brother.

"Congratulations." Hinata Yuzuru smiled, but suddenly took out something in his hand.

It is an object also wrapped in a gift box.

"Tomorrow is Itachi's birthday, right? As an older brother, I won't forget that I originally planned to ask someone to deliver it in the evening." He said jokingly and handed the gift to Itachi.

Uchiha Itachi seemed to have not experienced the feeling of being teased by Hyuga Yuzuru for a long time. He felt nostalgic for a moment, but he still said: "If you are just one day old, wouldn't it be inappropriate to call yourself brother?"

"Then, let's calculate based on strength. Is this more acceptable to you?" Hinata Yuzuru's words made Uchiha Itachi fall into silence.

He stared and said angrily: "The me now is different from before."

"Oh~ I'm looking forward to it." Hinata Yuzuru was not afraid of him at all. The biggest cheat of the Uchiha clan is the Sharingan. Once the eye is opened, every time the Sharingan breaks through, the strength will leap forward, but before that. .....

As you are constantly meditating on 'life and death' and 'village and family' all day long, how can you beat me?

But soon, Hinata Yuzuru straightened his expression and said seriously: "Please open the gift for you at your birthday dinner."

Even though Hinata Yuzuru's request was a bit strange, Itachi still nodded without interest: "I understand."

He hasn't yet finished digesting the blow Hyuga Yuzuru gave him.

Uchiha Shisui chuckled a few times, touched Itachi's head, and then asked curiously: "By the way, Yuzuru, I never had time to ask before - why did you join the ninja school so early?"

If there is no special reason, even if you enroll, you will probably only start from the first or second grade.

It is very rare to go directly to fifth grade.

If nothing else goes wrong, he will be promoted to sixth grade this year and graduate directly next year. From this point of view, six-year-old Hinata Yuzuru will receive his own genin forehead protector. Just to become a genin, it is necessary to make such a big move. Trouble?

"I want to become colleagues with Shisui-senpai and Kakashi-senpai." Hinata Yuzuru said with a smile, looking full of enthusiasm: "Kakashi-senpai became a chuunin at the age of six. I still have a long way to go before I can catch up with my predecessors.”

Hatake Kakashi pulled down his mask and was staring at his ramen intently. He placed the order earlier and the noodles came earlier, but he couldn't get his chopsticks down before Hinata Yuzuru, so he could only pray for himself. Don't cook the ramen too quickly.

Hearing what Hinata Yuzuru said, he didn't even believe half of the punctuation marks.

Even though this brat senior is shouting for affection, it's hard to say what he is thinking.

But since he said that he would graduate and join ANBU next year, Hatake Kakashi still couldn't hold it back and worked a little harder behind his back - he couldn't really be surpassed by this annoying little guy so quickly, right? ?

A few people laughed and chatted, and time passed quickly.

After dinner, Hatake Kakashi was the first to find an excuse to leave, and everyone parted ways.

Back home, Hinata Kaoru, who had always remained quiet during the party, solemnly wished him a happy birthday.

Hinata Yuzuru at night belongs to her family, so she will naturally not disturb him.

With the blessings of his mother and father, Hinata Yuzuru spent his fifth birthday, and perhaps his last, such a warm and reunited birthday.

Back in the room, Hinata Yuzuru began to open gifts.

According to the custom here, perhaps the gift should be opened in front of the other person and then expressed satisfaction, but Hinata Yuzuru didn't like to do this, so he just took it home and read it alone.

The gift Uchiha Itachi gave is very interesting. It is a biographical novel that records the life-changing journey of an ordinary person before the age of ninjas, or in the early days, from an unknown person to a family general, from a slave to the head of the family. ...Chief Samurai.

Although the warrior class is still a tool for the family owner, from the perspective of the status of a domestic slave, it has already completed a jump in status and class.

Hinata Yuzuru put down the book that was full of feudalism characteristics after reading it. Maybe Itachi wanted to encourage him, but he didn't understand that Hinata Yuzuru's ambition was far greater than he imagined. .

The katana presented by Shisui is a product of the Uchiha clan. It looks a bit old, but it is still sharp and strong. It is even an excellent ninja tool and has the characteristics of conducting chakra. In terms of price alone, it can It's said to be extremely precious.

But in comparison, what Hinata Yuzuru likes most is Hinata Kaoru and Izumi's gift.

Izumi gave a kunai as a gift, with small, crooked characters carved on it by someone she didn't know.

[I hope Yuzuru can be happy forever—Izumi. 】

Hyuga Yuzuru solemnly put the kunai into the last slot of the ninja bag. The price of a kunai was not a small figure for ordinary ninjas. It can be said that she has tried her best.

Hinata Kaoru's gift is very interesting, it is a diary.

Hinata Yuzuru pondered for a moment, but finally couldn't hold back his curiosity. He picked up the diary and started reading it quietly.

The records in this diary probably start from when Hinata Kaoru was three years old and end to today.

While reading the diary, he sometimes pondered, sometimes smiled, and sometimes shook his head helplessly.

But in the end, I solemnly put the diary away and locked it in the drawer.

Looking out the window, Hinata Yuzuru put his hands behind his back and thought for a long time. In the end, he just sighed quietly.

There is no need to dwell too much on Hinata Kaoru's sad past and poor childhood. The sad facts she suffered during the Hinata separation are still happening over and over again.

She was lucky enough to find the light she could chase before she collapsed.

But there are still more birds dying silently in dark cages.

It seems that it is almost time to prepare to implement the plan.

And, not surprisingly, starting next year, I won’t have much time to practice leisurely at home.

After the death of the fourth generation, Kumogakure will seize this opportunity, begin to tentatively explore the bottom line, and then launch another war. Although during this period of time, only Iwagakure Village may have the spare capacity to intervene, the intensity and intensity of the war are far greater. It's not as good as the Ninja World War, but war is war, and Hyuga Yuzuru, who has decided to enter the battlefield, cannot stay out of the depth.

Wait until the day the war ends...

Perhaps, this is the day when I should implement my plan.

Time waits for me.

Hyuga Yuzuru sighed, but made up his mind to do his best to preserve the vitality of the Hyuga clan in this war.

It was obviously impossible for Hizashi to stay out of the matter, but Kaoru had the opportunity. Perhaps, he should try to reveal part of the plan to her, so that she could develop offline during the war, taking advantage of the lack of supervisory power within the family.

Working together internally and externally, taking advantage of the gap during the war to bring most of the Hyuga clan members to the same front is the basis for the execution of the plan.

For this reason, a group of escort forces must be provided for Xun first. If there are any flaws in the plan, even if several ninjas from different families die during the war, it can still be operated.

"Two months."

Hyuga Yuzuru set a deadline for his first step plan, and was determined to get the plan off to a good start before the Nine-Tails Rebellion broke out.

He has never been a procrastinator. Once he feels that the time has come, he will no longer hesitate.

So, starting from the next day, with the cooperation of Hinata Hizashi, he selected the first batch of candidates to receive the Asuka seal.

Finally, after careful judgment and demand, the first batch of people to receive the bird seal was limited to a number of six people, neither more nor less.
