Chapter 213 Direct Arrival (Subscription Request)

Under the dim moonlight,

A figure flew up with the wind, just like an eagle soaring in the sky, directly passing over Konoha Village.

Wearing a white robe,

Ryosuke, whose body has evolved to a certain level, no longer needs to rely on his legs to travel as before.

The ability of flying in the air has become negligible and no longer as significant as before, based on the evolution of the pupil technique to the reincarnation eye.

And on his back, a girl with long haze blue hair is closing her eyes and falling asleep.

But the strange thing is that, at such a speed at this thousand-meter altitude, neither Ryosuke nor Hinata on his back are affected by the impact of the airflow.

Whether it is the robes or hair they wear, they are stable, as if there is an invisible barrier separating them from the outside world, allowing them to maintain their physical state as if they were walking steadily on the ground.

"Are we... still on the road?"

A slight sound rang in his ears, and then Ryosuke could feel the girl on his back waking up from her sleep. Her body began to twist slightly.

"Did you sleep well? Sorry, I didn't give you time to rest."

Apologetically, Ryosuke stopped flying, and his body began to slowly descend, and finally landed very steadily on an open flat ground.

"Yeah, I slept very comfortably."

Hinata jumped off Ryosuke's back and splashed some dust on the ground.

Just woke up from a deep sleep, her cheeks were slightly red, but she looked in good spirits, "very warm and soft, just like sleeping on a huge doll."

It was her first time to go out of the village for training, and Ryosuke was accompanying her, so she was a little excited.

"That's good. I was afraid you wouldn't be used to sleeping like this."

Ryosuke breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he tried to suppress his muscles to make them less hard, and from time to time he transferred the medical chakra into her body to keep warm, he was still afraid that it would affect her rest.

After all, in order to see Shanks earlier, his actions were somewhat unreasonable.

Compared to himself who was well fed and well prepared,

Hinata had just finished a meeting and went home very tired. As a result, he pulled her into the team with just one sentence and started to hurry.

Although this was understandable from the perspective of a ninja, after all, a ninja is a profession that has to leave immediately when the mission begins, but from the perspective of a couple, it was a bit arbitrary.

How could I not be used to it? Although the sleeping postures were different, we didn't sleep together every night...

Hinata blinked her eyes, but still didn't say what was in her heart.

Looking around, she took out a soldier's ration pill and took a bite, and then took out the map on her body and spread it out, "We are now..."

"In the Blackwood Forest."

Ryosuke pointed to a place name marked on the map.

The Blackwood Forest is located in the outer area of ​​the Land of Fire. It is a key resource area that supplies wood, stone and mineral resources to the country.

"So far?"

Hinata was a little surprised, "How long have I slept?"

She felt that she should have only slept for a few hours,

But it takes at least a few days to get from Konoha Village to the Blackwood Forest? It's almost near Saki Castle.

Casually feeling the chakra consumption in the body along the way, Ryosuke explained, "I flew a little faster. According to my calculations, if we travel all night, we can reach Saki Castle tomorrow."

In fact, if it weren't for Hinata, he used his ability to shield the influence of airflow during flight. He could fly faster with full release, and it is possible to reach Saki Castle before dawn.

The transformed body was much stronger than Ryosuke had imagined. He had never thought that he could travel from Saki Castle to Konoha Village on the same day.

But after practice, he found that this was not out of reach.

"Tomorrow?"

Hinata was stunned, but quickly nodded, "Yes, you flew directly."

While speaking, she was a little regretful.

It was not easy to leave the village. This was her first time as a ninja to go out of the village to perform a mission.

Originally, Hinata planned to make good use of her knowledge of wilderness survival along the way, and by the way, she would cook a few meals for Ryosuke with the collected ingredients to show off her excellent talents as a good wife.

But now it seems that there is no chance, they are almost there.

As for the feeling about Ryosuke's strength...

After being surprised once or twice, she slowly got used to it.

As long as it was about Ryosuke's combat power, Hinata felt that no matter how outrageous it was, she could accept it.

"Then let's set off as soon as possible."

Quickly putting away the map and stuffing the remaining ration pills in her hand into her mouth, Hinata puffed up her cheeks and said vaguely: "After tomorrow, we will sneak into the city first, and then visit after we have recovered our spirits."

As she spoke, she climbed onto Ryosuke's back skillfully. The two of them looked like a kitten lying on a big tiger.

"It's so hard, completely different from before."

Hinata reached out and patted the back that was completely different from before. Her palm was like patting a stone.

But the breath was still that familiar breath.

"Ready..."

With a smile on his face, Ryosuke controlled his back muscles so that they were no longer tense.

Of course, he had no objection to Hinata's proposal. Ryosuke wanted to see Shanks earlier.

After Hinata woke up and took some ration pills for a short time, they started to hurry again.

The whirring wind blew in his ears.

This time, Ryosuke no longer needed to use his ability to shield the airflow generated by fast flight, so the speed would naturally be much faster.

Now, they were rushing to Saki Castle to meet Shanks.

No one in the clan could influence Ryosuke's decision. Even Hinata and the others could only give suggestions.

As for taking Hinata, who had no mission experience, with them, although Hyuga Hiashi and Hinata didn't quite understand why Ryosuke did this, they still chose to trust his judgment.

In a hurry, Hinata didn't even hand over family affairs, and didn't even have time to eat dinner, and she accompanied him on the journey.

Lying on Ryosuke's back,

Most of the strong airflow coming from the front was blocked by this sturdy body, which gave Hinata a chance to open her eyes and observe the surrounding situation.

Thousands of meters above the sky,

Hinata silently looked down at the villages and towns that were rushing by,

She also understood why they arrived at the Blackwood Forest so quickly.

Time passed by bit by bit,

Although the road was boring and the passing scenery was difficult to see due to the height, Hinata didn't speak to disturb Ryosuke and distract him,

And Ryosuke didn't speak, and hurried on his way seriously,

They were both very quiet, but they didn't feel embarrassed.

Although there was a slight difference from the time Ryosuke expected, they still arrived near Saki Castle at noon.

They landed steadily from the sky in the nearby dense forest. They disguised themselves and quietly followed the crowd to enter the city.

At the magnificent city gate,

The security of Saki Castle was very relaxed, and there was no change due to the chaos caused by Xingcai and others some time ago.

The owner of this city, that is, the Saki family, seemed to know very well that they could not stop the ninjas with the power in their hands.

As long as the ninjas wanted to sneak into the city, they could not go through the city gate.

Even if they went through the city gate directly, there were many ways to confuse the warriors guarding the city, so they did not work hard in this regard.

As soon as they entered the city,

Hinata beside Ryosuke widened her eyes in surprise, looking at the lively and prosperous scene in front of her, a little unbelievable.

"It's so lively, it feels completely different from the village."

Following Ryosuke, walking through the crowd on the street, Hinata whispered her inner surprise, "I thought Konoha was already prosperous enough as one of the top forces in the ninja world, but I didn't expect to see a scene outside that was even more glorious than Konoha."

It was only now that she had a little of the liveliness and innocence that she should have at her age.

Like a child who had never seen the world, she was full of surprise at the magnificent buildings in the city and the lively crowds coming and going.

"This is the difference between these ordinary people and ninjas."

Ryosuke explained with a chuckle, "Even in the city in the central area, it is difficult to find a medium-sized training ground like the one in Konoha Village."

"Different professions, different focuses. The important buildings in our village are ninja schools, which are facilities for ninjas to practice. We focus on how to make our ninjas have higher combat power."

"And these ordinary people, these nobles, their focus is on entertainment and economy. They focus on getting merchants from other countries to come and go, and controlling the economic consumption in the country and abroad."

Hina nodded. After Ryosuke's guidance, she quickly understood why this Saki Castle looked more prosperous and magnificent than Konoha.

She was temporarily in charge of logistics in the clan. She knew very well the importance of economic development to a force. Without these people controlling and promoting the economy of the Fire Country, Konoha Village would not be able to cultivate combat power so comfortably.

The Fire Country's annual inscription funding feeds the entire village of Konoha, including them, the Hyuga.

"If there is a country like this standing behind us, providing resources every year, then those shelved projects in the clan won't have to be left in the corner to gather dust."

She envied Konoha.

But Ryosuke shook his head, "Wait a little longer. Konoha Village has made so many years of efforts, the clan can't just give up."

Without further discussion on this commonplace issue, the two found a restaurant, had a comfortable lunch, washed up, and then slowly went to bed to rest.

A night of full-time travel consumed a lot of energy, even Ryosuke needed a little rest.

With Hinata by his side, he didn't have to worry about his mind going wild. As soon as he lay down, he smelled the familiar smell of the person next to him and slowly fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was already late at night.

"Eat first."

Hinata woke up earlier because she slept for a while on the way.

Before Ryosuke could see the current time clearly, she had already brought a wooden box with a lot of food into the house.

Just finished eating before going to bed, and after waking up, he still had a meal as usual. This is the basic quality of a physical training family.

Usually at home, if someone eats less, it is abnormal.

Hinata sat opposite him, staring at him while he ate.

After a long while, she said something dissatisfied, "I feel like you brought me out here just to let me take care of your daily life."

"How is that possible?"

Ryosuke laughed dumbly, "If I really need someone to take care of my daily life, I might as well bring Aunt Liang out, after all, you don't know how to..."

Before he finished speaking, he closed his mouth consciously.

Because Hinata opposite him had already smiled, and her smile was very gentle.

"Yes, I'm sure you are very important to me now."

Quickly changing the subject, Ryosuke nodded and looked at Hinata seriously, "I believe you should have felt it too, I really need your help."

Hinata, who was still a little angry, put the matter aside for the time being after meeting Ryosuke's serious gaze.

"I...felt it?"

She repeated this sentence a little confusedly, but soon, she seemed to remember something.

"You didn't come to me late at night and said you had insomnia and wanted to sleep with me, did you?"

Hinata was a little uncertain at first, but her tone became more and more certain as she spoke.

This was the only unusual thing that happened recently.

In the past, Ryosuke's wooden personality, without her taking the initiative to contact him, their relationship would have been stagnant, and there would be no breakthrough at all.

But some time ago, he suddenly came to her house late at night and said he wanted to sleep with her because he couldn't sleep alone.

At that time, her reaction was fear and joy, and she thought that he had come to his senses, but now thinking about it, this matter is a bit strange.

"Yeah."

Ryosuke nodded, "In fact, if you're not by my side recently, I can't sleep at all."

"Even when I'm free, many bad thoughts will come to my mind."

"That's why I've become a little impatient recently, because if I stop moving forward and you're not by my side, I'll fall into wild thoughts and lose control."

Hinata's expression was full of worry, "...Is it the problem that occurred after your body changed some time ago?"

Recalling the time when Ryosuke came to find her, it was probably after that transformation.

"No, it has nothing to do with the changes in my body."

Ryosuke shook his head, "After I realized some problems, I investigated them in depth without enough information, which led to some consequences that shouldn't have happened."

"But you don't have to worry too much, I will solve this matter myself, but before that, I have to trouble you to stay with me."

His current situation is like a person who earns 2,000 yuan a month, but is worried all day about what will happen to this planet if the sun disappears in the sky, and even worried to the point of being unable to sleep.

Is this question worth thinking about? Of course it is worth thinking about. This is a very meaningful question.

But this question should not be pondered by a person who has no real power, no money, no status, and no reputation. A person who cannot bear this kind of problem can only think superficially. If he tries to dig out the truth, this worry may destroy a person's spirit.

Ryosuke knows very well that he is between these mental states.
