Chapter 212 Safe Journey (Subscription Request)

In the meeting hall of Hyuga,

The elders who had just been discussing whether Ryosuke could go to Saki Castle to meet Shanks suddenly lost their temper because of a sentence.

"Be careful. In addition to the Iroha Corps who are still on the mission, there are still many good players in our clan."

The elder looked at Ryosuke with his cloudy and yellow eyes, "When the time comes, we can send a team to Saki Castle to investigate the situation and wait there. After confirming that there is no problem, you can enter the city."

He said in a negotiating tone.

"The clan doesn't need to waste too much energy on me."

Shaking his head, Ryosuke chuckled and replied, "The number of people is actually meaningless to me. I believe you all understand this."

At the long table, the elders who sat down in order looked at each other, without saying anything to refute.

Because this is the fact.

The big event of the Kirigakure Ninja Army, which relied on the advantage of numbers and underestimated Ryosuke, being wiped out, seemed to have happened just yesterday.

Moreover, in addition to the incident in Kirigakure, Ryosuke had rushed into the Land of Rain alone some time ago and turned the Hidden Rain Village, which gave birth to Hanzo of the Salamander and Six Paths of Pain, who were worthy of being called demigods, upside down.

With such strength, if something really happened that even he couldn't handle, it would also be beyond the help of ordinary ninjas.

But in this case, what can the family do to help Ryosuke in this incident?

Whether it was Hyuga Hiashi or other elders, they were all thinking about this question in their hearts.

"The things that the family should help with have actually been accomplished, right?"

As if Ryosuke saw their distress, he explained: "Looking for people from another world, exploring and tracking Shanks's whereabouts, and representing the family in the first friendly negotiation with him... Isn't this series of things all done by the family for me?"

After a pause, he looked around and finally set his sights on Hinata. "In the event of negotiating with people from another world, I don't have that much extra energy to complete the time-consuming work in the early stage, so these things can only be left to you to help."

"And now, this event has come to a relatively final place."

"Shanks's strength is unfathomable to you. It is not something that other people in the family can face or help with, so I also have something to do, which is to complete the last link of this event, that is, to have a perfect contact with Shanks and achieve a result that benefits both parties."

Ryosuke's words are very real, but they also make many people present feel pressured.

Indeed, there are some things that they are not qualified to help even if they want to help.

Just like Hinata has been chasing Ryosuke,

In fact, whether it is love, family affection or friendship... these things about "affection" and communication are actually two-way, and both sides need to give to each other to collide with "affection".

If only one party is giving, then slowly this affection will cool down, until it becomes a stranger in the end.

At present, although the family is moving forward steadily on this road to rise, most of the reasons are based on a strong backing, that is, Ryosuke is in control,

But if only Ryosuke is giving to the family all the time, and the family can't help at all, then this "affection" may also cool down,

In addition, there are so many visitors from other worlds nowadays, and it is hard to guarantee that Ryosuke will never come back after passing through the so-called other world gate one day, so they are all trying to shine and want Ryosuke to feel their efforts.

But... it seems that there is no chance.

"I will take care of Shanks's problem, don't worry."

Ryosuke said calmly: "Compared to this, I think you should focus more on the supply of family resources. The matter of the Fire Country delegation going to the Rain Country to negotiate joining the alliance should have come to an end."

"This period is very important. It is related to how much benefit our family can get from this incident and how many vacancies in the family can be filled. Father has been focusing on this matter, and I hope you can help with all your strength."

He actually knows what other people think, but there is no way to guarantee it.

Instability is a common problem of the human species.

An immature person will easily determine that he will not be a gay now or in the future, but a mature person can rationally think that he may become a gay in the future.

Ryosuke cannot guarantee that he will not leave the ninja world in the future, nor can he guarantee that he will always keep the family in his heart.

Although the family is developing rapidly, due to the large population, the gap in combat power is uneven.

If the current situation is followed, the family will most likely be left far behind by him, so he cannot guarantee it.

What's more, compared with his family, he cares more about his own family.

Ryosuke can promise Hinata and Hiashi Hyuga that he will protect this home, but he cannot guarantee to protect this family. He cannot run forward with the whole family on his back.

The meeting hall fell silent.

Since Ryosuke, as the person involved, has said so, the others can only helplessly turn the topic to another event that the family is currently focusing on, that is, the entry of the Rain Country.

It has been a while since the delegations of various countries arrived in the Rain Country.

Originally, after the destruction of the Hidden Rain Village, the country that was once in chaos was gradually reunited by one person, and contacted the delegations of various countries as a representative.

What surprised all countries was that the person who reunited the ordinary people and ninja groups of the Rain Country in the chaotic situation was not a ninja, but just a simple ordinary person.

Even before he stood up, he was just the village chief of an ordinary small village in the Rain Country!

He was not a so-called noble or an important official, but the village chief of a remote village!

"His name is Kusanagi, he is 37 years old this year, and he seems to be different from the aliens we imagine. He is a real ordinary person. Although his physique is better than ordinary people, he really doesn't look special."

The second incident was brought up, and Hyuga Hiashi stood up again and began to explain the situation, "And according to the news sent back by the Iroha army, this person's origin is also very simple and clean."

"Kusanagi's family has lived in the Rain Country for generations and is engaged in the blacksmith business."

"The village where they live is located in the eastern part of the Rain Country, a very remote mountainous area. Although there are very few people in the village, it is also registered in the Rain Country, so there should be no problem with their identity."

"Just an ordinary person? Confirm that he is not a person who suddenly appeared and has no background. ?”

Ryosuke, who sat down next to Hinata again, was a little surprised, "So... what are his appearance features? Does it match the registered information?"

"It has been secretly confirmed." Hinata Hiashi nodded, "He looks handsome, but a little mature and old-fashioned because of his age."

"Blond hair, healthy limbs without any defects. Because he is an ordinary person, he did not wear any weapons when he met."

"The book that records the identity information of their village is also a few years old. The identity information should not be fake. Further confirmation may take time."

"Kiss, blond hair..."

Ryosuke pondered for a moment, recalling his memory,

but unfortunately, neither the name nor the appearance characteristics matched the characters in his mind.

"There are many possibilities now, but there are two most likely ones. One is that we guessed wrong. The Rain Country is really reunited under the leadership of a wise man, not someone from another world."

Ryosuke was still thinking, but Hyuga Hiashi had already spoken about the current situation, "The other is that he hides very well. This grass shirt is just a shell. There may be someone else inside him, or his strength is too strong, so strong that even the people from the delegations of various countries can't see what his true level is."

"But no matter what, although we have to carefully consider every issue related to the other world, the focus now is to quickly solve the problem of resource supply. Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. We now need to focus on joining the alliance for the time being..."

Afterwards, Ryosuke did not participate in the matter of the Rain Country entering the alliance. He stood up and quietly left the meeting hall alone.

No one stopped him during this process.

He walked straight out of the meeting hall, and under the respectful gaze of the tribesmen, Ryosuke walked towards home.

Just as he said, the things that can make him pay attention are big things,

And when these things are at the final stage, the family can't provide any help.

As for those small things that can't make him care, the family can basically solve them, and there is no need for him to intervene.

And the incident in the Rain Country this time, if it is just the matter itself, it is indeed just a small matter, and it is only a big matter if it involves the other world. Now even the small and big things have not been confirmed, and it is not his responsibility for the time being.

Back home,

Ryosuke packed up his luggage while waiting for the meeting of Hinata Hiashi and others to end.

He has never been the kind of person who procrastinates. Since he has decided to go to Saki Castle in person to meet Shanks, he will naturally not waste time.

Besides, Ryosuke originally planned to go there in person. If it weren't for the fact that his body was about to undergo a transformation some time ago, which delayed time, he might not have asked Xingcai and others to convey the message. Instead, after learning about Shanks' appearance, he directly chose to go to the meeting alone to find out the truth.

However, even though he was in a hurry, Ryosuke had to tell his family before he left, and he also had other things he planned to ask Hinata Hiashi for advice.

It was not until the evening that Ryosuke, Hanabi, and Old Cat finished their dinner and rested for a while before his father and his family returned from the meeting.

As soon as he entered the door, the moonlight and the lights in the house were shining.

When Hyuga Hiashi and the others saw Ryosuke sitting in the corridor ready to go, they immediately understood what he was going to do.

"Take the old cat with you."

Hyuga Hiashi suggested, "Although there are new secret lines set up by our clan in Saki Castle, things like passing on information still require more reliable people to complete."

"Besides, it's good to have someone with you when you go out."

After a pause, he added, "Have a safe journey."

From the moment Ryosuke defeated him in the training ground and left the village for the first time, he knew that he could no longer control this child.

All he could do was to trust him unconditionally and stand behind him so that he would not have any concerns because of his family.

"I do have plans in this regard."

Ryosuke stood up, "It is indeed more convenient to take someone with you when you go out, but I don't want to take the old cat out."

As he said that, he turned his eyes to Hinata next to Hyuga Hiashi, "Father, I want to take Hinata with me on this mission, do you think it's okay?"

When he spoke, Ryosuke was a little cautious.

Although he was a son-in-law, this sentence sounded a bit like a marriage proposal, the kind of directly kidnapping someone else's daughter.

His words were indeed a bit unexpected, making Hyuga Hiashi and Hinata in the courtyard really confused.

Then, after they carefully confirmed the meaning of this sentence in their minds several times, they all frowned.

"Are you sure? You want to take me with you?" Hinata looked at Ryosuke in confusion, "I will drag you down, and... I have never been on a mission."

Although she was very reluctant in her heart, and although she was also moved by this proposal,

But Hinata also knew that this was a wrong proposal. Whether she was strong or experienced in carrying out missions, she could not compare with a real ninja.

Although her fighting ability is relatively strong among her peers,

it is more due to the influence of blood and the guidance of Ryosuke. Without these factors, she may not even be able to graduate early.

Although her current status in the tribe seems to be not low and she is quite prestigious in the hearts of the tribe members, it is actually more due to the influence of status and experience. Her own fighting ability is not enough to convince the crowd.

Hina is very clear about her current situation. She is like a pure civilian staff, a heir to the clan leader who is good at talking on paper.

If she follows Ryosuke like this, she will only drag him down.

"Father, I know you may not be at ease with me taking Hinata with me."

Ryosuke turned his eyes to Hyuga Hiashi, "But you should understand that Hinata also needs to grow up. She can't always be a clan leader who can only conduct simulated wars in the village. She needs experience and experience."

"Compared to others bringing her up, I think it would be a better choice for me to bring her up."

"But I'm worried that she will cause trouble to you."

Hyuga Hiashi frowned, "Hinata is my daughter, and I have watched you grow up since you were a child. You are both my son-in-law and my child."

"You two are equally important to me. The danger of this mission is unpredictable. I don't think it's a good choice for you to bring Hinata with you. She will become a burden to you."

"Hinata needs to grow up, but not necessarily now."

Although Hinata was right next to him, he still said these harsh words without hesitation, because it was the truth.

But there is another point because Hyuga Hiashi knows very well that Hinata is now very determined. She carries the burden of the family one after another, and she will not be shaken by these harsh words. She is now his proud daughter.
