Chapter 227 Stable Situation (Subscription Request)

Sixty-four years after the establishment of Konoha,

The Chunin Exam, which was originally planned to be held in cooperation with the Sand Village, was postponed because the One-Tail Jinchuriki was captured.

There was almost no news about the follow-up of the capture of the One-Tail.

There was no news about whether the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki was finally brought back, or the losses in his village, or whether any high-level Sand Village personnel were sacrificed in this incident.

In the same year, the news that the Rain Country applied to join the Allied Countries was approved, and the Hyuga clan officially announced the start of the migration plan.

Under the arrangement of Hyuga Hiashi, the clan's personnel, materials, family secrets, etc., were gradually migrated from Konoha to the Rain Country in batches.

Because during the migration period, there were hidden forces from time to time who sent people to intercept and kill, so the progress of the migration was relatively slow.

After more than a decade of peace, most forces in the ninja world have accumulated too much hatred and war.

While the rulers filled with desires were forced to endure, the chess game of the ninja world became more and more complicated.

Everyone had their own thoughts and did not dare to provoke a large-scale war. Even small disputes had to be carried out secretly.

"In response to the situation of being intercepted by unknown forces, we set up temporary contact points at a distance on the designated migration route."

"They are Orange Town on the coast of the Fire Country, the border of the Fire Country's sea area, the border of the Hot Spring Country's sea area, and the border of the Rain Country's sea area."

"Among them... probably the 303 sea area bordering the Fire Country and the Hot Spring Country. The migration team was once again attacked by unknown forces, but fortunately, with the escort led by Captain Xingcai, no casualties occurred."

The old site of the Hyuga clan,

Ryosuke was patrolling the area east of the clan.

At this time, he was supervising the orderly packing of the next batch of clan members who participated in the migration operation, while listening to the reports of the clan members.

Although he didn't like dealing with these complicated and simple affairs, it was a major event of family migration after all. As a member of Hyuga, he still needed to do his part.

"This is the detailed battle report sent by Captain Xingcai. The enemy has six Chunin combat power and seventeen Genin combat power, and none of them survived."

Hinata Tamao handed over a document with both hands, "Just like the previous ambush, they were all dead soldiers. After death, all the nerve tissues in the brain were instantly destroyed, and the memory could not be read through special means."

The arm that he had broken when he was on a mission with Ryosuke had been transplanted with a new arm regenerated and cultivated by the first generation of cells.

But after all, it was not an original product, so the combat power was still affected to a certain extent, especially since his strength itself was not very strong, and it could not even be considered combat power in the current family.

However, Ryosuke didn't care about this.

Combat power can be cultivated, as long as it is loyal enough, he is willing to use it.

As for the surprise attack, Ryosuke's expression remained unchanged. "As usual, send a message and ask them to store and preserve all the bodies they can collect. Do not dismember and analyze them at will."

Whether he can get useful information or memory from the bodies, he has to test it himself.

As for the attack, he was not surprised because he had expected that the migration would not be peaceful.

And it just so happened that this incident also gave Hyuga a suitable opportunity and excuse to show his force.

"Maybe... spread the news that the tailed beasts in other villages were captured to distract the ninja world from the migration of our clan?"

Hyuga Tamao proposed an idea.

"Distract attention?"

Ryosuke smiled and shook his head, "No need, just as an experience, let those clansmen who were born in peacetime see blood."

The news that the one-tailed Jinchuriki of Sand Village was captured was only known to the alliance because of special information channels.

The two countries of Kumogakure and Iwagakure attach great importance to the blockade of information, so the news that the tailed beast Jinchuriki was captured has never spread in the ninja world. In addition to the local countries, only Hyuga, which has an advantage in intelligence collection and exploration, knows about it.

Therefore, in the case of mutual concealment of information, few forces in the ninja world can guess what actions the Akatsuki organization has taken.

So far, Ryosuke thinks that it may be that Jiraiya, who often deals with the Akatsuki organization and has been tracking their news for many years, will speculate and guess about the actions of the Akatsuki organization, so only Konoha pays more attention to the Akatsuki organization, a mercenary organization composed of many rebellious ninjas.

As for the Hyuga, who knows most of the information, because there is no tailed beast Jinchuriki in the clan, they don’t want to get involved in this matter for the time being.

At this time, another member of the tribe came to Ryosuke's side and whispered, "Master Ryosuke, the Yamanaka clan branch has come and responded to our invitation and is willing to leave with us."

"Then let them pack up as soon as possible, and then arrange for them to live outside the Hyuga clan territory and wait for the next batch of migration."

Ryosuke nodded, with no joy on his face, very calm.

Like the branches of the Yamanaka clan, the Akimichi clan, the Nara clan, the Sarutobi clan, etc., many of the descendants of the branches of the famous ninja families of Konoha have responded to their invitations one after another these days.

Among so many people, whether there are spies sent by Konoha, or people who are sincerely willing to leave with them, he did not deliberately look for and distinguish.

Time will let these people decide which side to stand on, and time will slowly expose these people, so he is not anxious or worried.

"But since Xingcai and the others have already arrived in the waters of the Kingdom of Soup when they sent the message, then considering the time it took for the message to be delivered to Konoha, they should have arrived in the Kingdom of Rain, right?"

...

"Long time no see, you look... much more mature than before."

On the sea of ​​the Kingdom of Rain, a huge cargo ship is quietly docked at the shore.

The Hyuga ninjas, who are not tall and strong, but have surprisingly amazing strength, are transferring the items on the cargo ship to the carriages on the shore at an extremely fast speed.

The huge procession of carriages lined up in a long line, and at a glance, it was impossible to tell which carriage was leading the way.

And Hyuga Hoshicai was standing on the shore with Hyuga Souji, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, watching the tribesmen unloading the goods.

On her shoulder, there was a fat, fluffy cat squatting.

"You have changed a lot, too, becoming... more concerned about your appearance."

She looked up and down at the handsome man in front of her, who was dressed in luxurious clothes, and it was really hard to put the man in front of her into the figure who had protected Lord Ryosuke with her in the past.

"You can't be rude when dealing with those noble officials."

Hyuga Souji stroked his hair coquettishly, and even the way he spoke changed, becoming extremely magnetic and seductive, "Compared to practicality, they pay more attention to complicated etiquette."

"If you come to the door in a simple combat vest as a ninja, it will be considered that you don't value this meeting."

"And if there is a distance in the first impression, then the subsequent cooperation or negotiation will become very troublesome."

In order to be like a fish in water among the powerful and high-ranking officials of the Fire Country over the years, he has spent a lot of effort to learn these etiquette.

However, it is also because he personally does not reject this relatively polite etiquette that he can learn so quickly and engrave it into his bones.

"Your illusion skills have improved a lot. You even integrated Yin Dun Jue into your speech. You are quite good at it."

Hinata Xingcai was not curious about the etiquette he mentioned.

Instead, she grasped the key points of Hyuga Souji's performance when he spoke, "If I hadn't learned some skills from Master Ryosuke when he was learning Yin Dun Jue, I might not have discovered your illusions."

"Ah... I really envy you for being able to stay in Konoha and stay by Master Ryosuke's side."

Hinata Souji's arrogant expression turned into a little envious, "But I heard that you encountered a lot of troubles along the way. How is it? He Do you know their identities clearly? "

"No, when they acted, the techniques and physical skills they used were very complicated."

Hinata Xingcai shook her head, "They committed suicide with poison and carved a curse seal in their brains to block the nerves. There was no chance to understand them."

"They are just some scoundrels. Sooner or later, we will catch them all and settle accounts."

She didn't think that the clan would ignore this matter because of the lack of information. The Hinata Gang officially appeared in the ninja world as an independent force, and they would never let these people and the forces behind them go easily.

"Let's not talk about this. What's the situation in the Rain Country now?"

Hinata Xingcai quickly skipped the topic and turned to look at Souji seriously. "The head of the family ordered that we should establish our position as the master of the Rain Country as soon as possible and take control of this country."

"Don't worry, the moment the Rain Country was unconditionally included in the Alliance, their lord Kusagi Ake had already taken the initiative to contact Captain Iroha, hoping to hand over the control of the country to us, Hyuga."

Souji chuckled and replied, "What a sensible guy, no wonder he can control this country as an ordinary person and stand up at the critical moment."

But for this point, Hinata Xingcai hesitated for a moment, "Is he... really an ordinary person?"

She asked in a low voice, doubting Kusagi Ake's identity.

As a country that used to be military-oriented, although the military institution in the country, the Hidden Rain Village, has been destroyed, the cultural influence should still be deeply rooted in the hearts of every citizen, so it is not to let an ordinary person without military power take the throne, right?

"He is really an ordinary person. We have tried to test him many times."

Souji nodded. "Although Kusama Azuki is just an ordinary person, he is surrounded by a group of surviving ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village."

"Although there are not many of them, we can see from the time we entered the country and started the meeting that under the protection of such a group of people, Kusama Azuki himself always has the right to speak. He is not a puppet. Maybe this is why he can succeed? Although I don't know how he makes these Hidden Rain Village ninjas obey him."

"A ninja with martial power obeys an ordinary person without combat power? It is totally incomprehensible."

At this time, a hoarse voice suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two, startling Souji.

He took out his kunai vigilantly, his Byakugan already opened, and stared at the fat cat on Xingcai's shoulder...?

Chakra?

He actually sensed the flow of chakra in a cat?

"Oh, yes, I forgot to introduce it to you."

Hinata Xingcai seemed to suddenly remember, and pointed at the gray-haired fat cat on his shoulder calmly, "Is this Ryosuke-sama's...disciple? But for the time being, I will guide him about the habits of the ninja profession."

"...Huh?!"

Hinata Souji seemed very surprised, staring at the old cat with wide eyes, "Ryosuke-sama's...disciple!"

This is... accepting a ninja beast as a disciple? And a ninja beast that can talk!

As expected of Ryosuke-sama, what he did is completely unpredictable!

"Well, although we didn't have a formal apprenticeship ceremony, Ryosuke did teach me a lot about fighting."

The old cat licked his paws. He didn't know what kind of person he was to Ryosuke.

He once wanted to become Ryosuke's family, but it seemed that he failed.

Now he should be...a disciple, or a subordinate, right?

No matter how outrageous this matter was, since he was Ryosuke's disciple, Hyuga Souji still introduced himself politely, "Nice to meet you, I am Hyuga Souji, I used to be Ryosuke's bodyguard, and now I am a diplomat of the Hyuga clan."

Old Cat was very casual, "You can call me Old Cat, they all taught me that."

Hyuga Souji said respectfully, "Okay, Old Cat."

"Ahem... Let me remind you."

And Xingcai coughed lightly, "Because Ryosuke currently arranged for me to guide Old Cat's ninja knowledge, Old Cat usually calls me Xingcai teacher."

"Understood, Old Cat."

Very directly, Hyuga Souji put away his solemn look, he didn't want to be younger than Xingcai for no reason.

"In short, the current situation in the Kingdom of Rain is very stable. After the envoys from various countries have applied for membership, they have all dispersed."

Then he talked about business again, "and the tribesmen who arrived in the first few batches have been arranged to various towns and villages in the country, replacing the previous city lords, village chiefs and other positions."

"On the one hand, it is to win the hearts of the people, and on the other hand, it is to prevent some blind forces from coming in again to fish in troubled waters."

"As for the capital where the Hyuga will live in the future, it is also under construction..."

Although the important senior officials of the Hyuga have not arrived yet, the instructions for the arrangements of the Kingdom of Rain have been issued.

The Hyuga team, which was originally sent to the Kingdom of Rain as an envoy by the forces of Konoha and the Kingdom of Fire, naturally did not leave after the change of camp.

Under the arrangements of him and Hyuga Iroha, they began to complete the deployment of the Kingdom of Rain in an orderly manner according to the instructions of the tribe.

As batches of people from the tribe migrated and arrived, the deployment work was carried out faster and faster, and the situation in the country soon fell under control and gradually stabilized.
