Chapter 191 Desperate Old Cat (Subscription Request)

Hokage Building,

The office fell silent again,

Neither Jiraiya nor Tsunade knew how to start, prophecy was too vague, they could not figure out the meaning.

But if their guess was true, then perhaps they had unknowingly done something that violated their own Ninja Code.

"Anyway, Nagato and the others wanted to stay in the Land of Rain and change their country." Jiraiya said with a wry smile, "As a person, I will definitely not take them away by force."

"And our focus now is not this, but I will confirm the specific situation with the Great Toad Sage."

He paused here and looked serious, "We should talk about Hyuga Ryosuke, Akatsuki and... the masked man!"

Glancing at Jiraiya, Tsunade said lazily: "You have not collected as much information about Akatsuki in all these years as Hyuga Ryosuke did in one trip to the Land of Rain."

"As for the masked man, he was originally a member of Akatsuki, and we knew this information a long time ago."

"There is nothing to talk about these things, just wait and see, maybe the ninja world will be in chaos again. Alas, I thought it would be quiet for a long time after the alliance, but I didn't expect it to be only a few years."

Since the death of the Fourth Raikage and the establishment of a multi-national alliance, the ninja world has been peaceful for a long time.

As the allied negotiators expected, each of their countries gradually became stronger under this alliance.

The follow-up of commercial exchanges is a vibrant economic recovery.

Even the Wind Country, which is relatively poor among the five major countries, has improved significantly due to the entry of major caravans.

Based on the deterrence of the alliance, although other countries in the ninja world have some small disputes, they dare not provoke bigger disputes to avoid the expansion of the war circle and give the alliance a reason to occupy other countries.

But now, this calmness in the ninja world is likely to change because of the destruction of the Hidden Rain Village.

"In fact, you have overlooked some problems."

Jiraiya's eyes are a little complicated, "I haven't found out more information about the Akatsuki organization for so many years because they are hiding very deeply. As for where their nest is, I don't know a bit."

"But... Hyuga Ryosuke how did he know that the headquarters of the Akatsuki organization was in the Rain Country? His reason is that he occasionally met it when he was traveling with the fleet, but... traveling does not require entering the Hidden Rain Village."

When he said this, Tsunade seemed to understand something.

"The Hidden Rain Village after Hanzo's death is different from ordinary ninja villages. They prohibit tourists from entering. As for the surrounding environment, we knew it when we went to the Land of Rain to perform the mission. If we didn't deliberately sneak in, we couldn't get through such a complex terrain environment."

"It took him only a few days from arriving in the Land of Rain to the incident and leaving."

"It takes a few days to figure out the terrain environment, and then sneak into the Hidden Rain Village to do such a major incident. Unless there is detailed intelligence from the beginning, it is impossible to do it."

Jiraiya looked at Tsunade with a serious expression, "Not only am I investigating the Akatsuki organization, but even the Hyuga is investigating, and the investigation is deeper than mine. The intelligence chain of their clan is even wider than Konoha."

Tsunade stood by the window and looked at Jiraiya.

Each of them could see the horror in their eyes.

They hid it so deeply. Before the invasion, no one noticed the extraordinaryness of the Hyuga clan.

Perhaps most ninjas only had the impression that their Byakugan could play a big role on the battlefield.

This clan spread the net so widely without anyone noticing!

After a long while, Tsunade suddenly spoke, "Actually... it's useless for us to think so much, right?"

"Hmm?"

Jiraiya was a little confused.

"As a family that hides so deeply, a family that keeps silent and low-key from the top to the bottom, could they make such an obvious mistake? Make up such a random reason?"

Tsunade thought of Hyuga Hiashi's casual performance in the meeting just now, "It should be that they feel that they don't need to hide anymore, they have enough strength to show themselves, and no longer need to worry about anyone's threats."

"But judging from their attitude, they should have no ill will towards Konoha. Judging from the abilities they have shown recently, their family can completely build their own country like the Uzumaki family."

"But since there is no, maybe their goal is not here..."

"Exposure? It was just a random reason."

During lunch chat, Hyuga Hiashi talked about today's meeting.

When talking about Ryosuke actually thinking of a reason to travel, Hinata couldn't help but worry whether this would be seen through.

But in fact, both Ryosuke and Hyuga Hiashi no longer care whether they will be seen through.

"In Sarutobi Hiruzen's time, we needed to carefully hide our power. This was because Ryosuke's strength was not enough, while Konoha's power was perfect in every aspect."

"But the times are different now. Now Ryosuke's fighting power has reached the top of the ninja world. On the contrary, Konoha suffered great losses in the two invasions and has not recovered yet, so of course we don't need to hide anymore."

"Being more reckless and more protective of some things can match the strength that Ryosuke has exposed, right?"

Hinata Hiashi explained to his silly daughter.

Recently, he discovered a problem. Although his daughter's style of doing things is becoming more and more satisfactory to him,... it is precisely because it is more and more in line with the long-term development path of Hinata that she is a little too cautious.

But after saying that, he looked at Ryosuke again, "So do you plan to participate in the meeting? I guess you don't plan to participate at all."

"Of course I don't want to go, father."

Ryosuke shook his head, "Rather than arguing with them, I might as well spend more time studying devil fruits."

As he said that, he mentioned another thing, "Besides, recently some tribesmen found members suspected of being from another world in the Land of Fire, and also found another devil fruit."

He doesn't care about any meetings at all now, as for the Akatsuki organization, that's all in the past.

This year is about to pass, and unknowingly it is about to usher in the three-year limiter.

This time, he has squeezed his potential with all his strength. Not only has he broken through the physical limit through the training system of the other world, but he has also gained a deeper understanding of the Byakugan.

I think this transformation will be more drastic than any previous one.

And correspondingly, he may get greater gains.

However, before that, Ryosuke still has half a year to accumulate his own foundation, so he doesn't want to miss any possibility of improvement.

The old cat, who didn't understand and was eating silently like Hanabi, instinctively raised his head and listened carefully after hearing about the devil fruit.

"It's just a suspicion, and we are still trying to contact it."

Hinata Hiashi smiled and replied, "But compared to the traces of aliens, I think the devil fruit is more exciting."

"According to the information they sent, the strange fruit with the characteristic of purple vortex pattern is basically certain to be a precious treasure from another world."

"It was just a try, but I didn't expect that in less than a few days, I really found the fruit you said."

It has only been a few days since Ryosuke brought back the news.

As a result, it was easy. Under the operation of Hyuga's huge intelligence chain, the tribesmen found the fruit for sale at an auction house in the Land of Fire, and they bought it at a very low price.

"No one in the ninja world has discovered the special effects of devil fruits yet. We have to take advantage of this time to collect more treasures as soon as possible."

Hinata Hiashi couldn't help but get excited when he spoke, "But when I think that some fruits may be thrown on the roadside as poisonous fruits because of their appearance, I feel a little distressed."

That can directly allow ordinary people to have the combat power of a Chunin, or even higher!

"Ten, as long as there are ten more, I will be satisfied!"

He opened his palm, "I have selected the list of people who will take the fruit. They are all loyal juniors of the clan, but they don't have much ninja talent."

"When the time comes, just find some tasks for them to prove their loyalty to the family, and we will naturally give them the fruit as a reward."

"How can it be so easy, father, you think too well."

Hinata couldn't help laughing.

Speaking of which, my father seems to have become a little different from before, as if... more "cheerful", and no longer the cold and stern look before.

He became a bit like her, looking serious with a straight face in front of outsiders, but relaxed and gentle in front of close people.

However, Hinata herself felt that perhaps her father's original character was like this, but he had always suppressed his character in the past because of his position as the clan leader and the burden of the family's rise.

Now that she and Ryosuke helped him share the burden, one helped him deal with family affairs, and the other led the family on the road to rise, his character slowly recovered.

Compared with the concerns of the Konoha high-level officials, Ryosuke and his family's lunch ended in a comfortable atmosphere.

Instead of continuing to Hinata's room to enjoy the knee pillow massage service, Ryosuke and the old cat quickly returned to the training ground where they had spent the whole morning.

"Just like in the morning, unlimited duel until you are exhausted."

As soon as he arrived at the training ground,

Ryosuke's body suddenly disappeared from the spot after he casually reminded him.

The next moment, his figure had already approached the old cat and punched him.

"No way, boss, at least give me some time to rest. What if I vomit all my lunch?" The old cat yelled back, but he was still very flexible in dodging Ryosuke's fist, and then raised his hand to fight back.

The wind was howling,

On his fist, crackling lightning was blazing, it was actually the ninjutsu of the Hidden Cloud Village!

"It's a waste to use chakra like this. It's just for show, but it doesn't have the inherent destructive penetration power of lightning escape."

However, this powerful punch was belittled by Ryosuke.

He just raised his palm to hit it, without even covering the chakra, and easily blocked the punch of the old cat.

His understanding of chakra control and nature changes was too shallow, and he couldn't exert the substantial power of ninjutsu at all.

"Do you need warm-up time to enter the combat state?"

Before the old cat could respond, Ryosuke turned around and kicked, and his strong force pressed hard on the old cat's chest, kicking him more than ten meters away, knocking down one tree after another.

Dust flew, accompanied by the old cat's painful roar.

"Compared to your performance this morning, it's a world of difference."

"Your enemies won't give you time to adapt and unleash your devil fruit. Your grasp of the power of a ninja is too shallow, and it's not good enough."

Looking coldly at the old cat in the dust, Ryosuke observed his body changes with his clear white eyes, "Or do you need to be beaten, and the more you are beaten, the more serious the injury, the more you can unleash the power of the fruit?"

"Boss..."

Standing up with difficulty, the old cat replied hoarsely: "At least give me some time to react. The power I just mastered this morning is not yet mature..."

Before he finished speaking, he closed his mouth and instinctively jumped to the side.

Ryosuke was already standing where he was originally standing, and he punched in the air.

The weight of his fist directly dispersed the dust that had just been stirred up.

"I said, your enemies won't give you time to prepare."

Then, a cold voice sounded.

If this punch hits, I'm afraid the skull will be cracked again...

Feeling the weight of his fist, the old cat shuddered.

But helpless, facing Ryosuke's next attack, he could only swing his strength to resist.

Bang——

Bang bang bang——

The energy scattered, and there were bursts of rustling leaves.

Fists collided one after another,

Every time they touched, Lao Mao could feel the bones in his fists wailing,

Inside, the bones were like bricks that were hit hard, and cracks appeared.

This bone fracture made Lao Mao's pain worse, and as he continued to squeeze, his body gradually collapsed, his skin and flesh were torn,

Blood flowed from his body, staining his clothes.

"Keep going! Your performance has not improved at all compared to this morning!"

Ryosuke who entered the battle was like an emotionless killing machine, and every part of his body turned into a weapon,

And when he entered the teaching mode, he would spit out some words that would hit people's hearts from time to time.

Gritting his teeth, the old cat endured the pain in various parts of his body, mobilizing the few chakras in his body, and survived with difficulty under this rapid attack like raindrops.

He had heard people mention that if you get angry to a certain stage, your organs, nerves, and blood vessels will be affected, or even burst.

But he didn't expect that one day this would happen to him.

But it was not because of anger, but because of fear. Because of fear, he kept squeezing his body to improve, which eventually led to overload of the body, and dirty blood seeped out of his mouth, nose, ears, and pores.

The continuous high-intensity battles made the old cat weak quickly,

Nausea and vomiting suddenly came,

But the more this happened, the more dizzy he felt, and he almost forgot the pain in his body under this feeling. He even liked this dizziness a little bit.

It seems that I have reached the limit again and am about to faint again...

Thinking so in his heart, the punch that Lao Mao had originally thrown lost its stamina and stopped in mid-air.

He stood up and lost consciousness, but his body instinctively maintained a fighting posture and was stiff.

In a trance, Lao Mao, as if entering a dream, felt a familiar warm breath enveloping his body.

This breath once made him feel warm, but now it made him extremely scared.

He tried his best to reject this heat flow into his body, but it was useless. He could not stop these medical chakras from repairing his body.

"It's time to wake up."

The familiar voice sounded in his ears.

Accompanied by a stinging pain in his spirit, Lao Mao woke up from that trance again.

He opened his bloodshot eyes and saw the familiar indifferent face of Ryosuke.

Then he looked up at the sky again. It was not dark yet, and it was not dinner time yet.

And the injuries in his body had been controlled and recovered to about 40% to 50%, which also meant that the pain was still continuing.

"Take a five-minute break, then continue."

The words he had heard countless times in the past few days rang out again, and Lao Mao forced an ugly smile on his face, "Excuse me, is this hell? This is actually hell, right?"

Can't die, can't die at all.

He once desperately wanted to live, but now he desperately wanted to die quickly, preferably on the spot.
