Chapter 39 Prelude to War

“With the teacher around, the disciples will naturally feel at ease.”

Hinata Yuuto smiled and wrapped his arms and hands with bandages again:

“Eh? Teacher, where is Shizune?”

 “I threw her into the ninja school.” The blonde beauty yawned:

“I’ve been a little busy lately, so I can’t take care of her for the time being. It’s always a good thing to let her go to school and get in touch with peers.”

 Hinata Yuuto was a little surprised:

“Tsunade-sensei, have you taken up a position in the village again?”

"No, it's just that the old man assigned me some work... Oh, by the way, this matter has something to do with you too." Tsunade paused and then said:

“Yuuto, you have been away from the village for two months this time. How do you feel about the outside world?”

"Life in most areas is quite difficult, but the Fire Country is peaceful." Hyuga Yuuto said this sincerely. Putting aside his personal position, Konoha Village is indeed a peaceful place. The world is worse than the worst after all. Konoha Village is even more devastated.

 “Is it chaotic?”

"It's very chaotic, teacher. There are more and more traces of unknown ninjas appearing around the Land of Fire... Is there going to be a war?"

"Yeah." Tsunade nodded. As a strong person who experienced the Second Ninja War, she was very familiar with this situation:

“Maybe it will be tomorrow, maybe it will be the next second, the war will break out at any time, it depends on who can’t bear it first... Konoha’s first batch of combat troops have been assembled, led by Orochimaru.”

“Based on the current situation, the village needs a large amount of available combat power and outstanding elites who can stand alone.”

"In a few days, the old man will promote a few young people to become Jonin, which is not only to expand the elite team, but also to boost morale - look, the flames of our Konoha are endless, and excellent seeds are emerging in endlessly."

 “The old man insists on letting me be the examiner, tsk, because he sees that I am too idle...ahem.”

“Back to the topic, I have seen the list of people promoted to Jonin this time, and you are on the list. Oh, by the way, Hatake Kakashi, the son of White Fang, is also on this list.”

Hinata Yuuto suddenly felt like "I finally have someone above me".

—The examiner for promotion is my own teacher, how could I lose?

Possibly guessing what her apprentice was thinking, the blond woman stretched out her hand and flicked Hinata Yuuto's forehead protector:

"You are my disciple, but I won't let you go because of this, do you understand?"

“Understand, the teacher has a broad mind and contains the love of the whole village.”

"Hey..." Tsunade glanced down at herself, feeling that her words were a bit of a tease. If it was Jiraiya who was speaking, he would have punched him long ago.

But when she looked up, she met the eyes of her 13-year-old apprentice as pure as white paper (in a sense, they were indeed whiter than paper), and she immediately felt that she was thinking too much. Yuuto was a good boy with very positive energy. , not that lewd Jiraiya.

The blond woman coughed lightly to cover up her embarrassment:

"Don't be so talkative. Generally speaking, there is only one sentence: I will not give you special care, and I will even make it more difficult for you to pass, because you are my disciple, a genius in the line of Master and Disciple of Hokage, and you are an example! But If you fail because of this... Huh!" Her hand suddenly exerted force, and she actually made a burst of air.

 “Understood!” Hinata Yuuto nodded crazily.

“Huh? But sensei, I remember that the mission merit I accumulated is not enough to be promoted to Jonin…”

"War will break out at any time, and we cannot follow the past rules."

"Okay, teacher... By the way, these are for you. I went to the country of Taki and found some gems and other things. They are about the size of a thumb cap. They are very suitable for carrying around. They are natural gambling funds..."

 …

Hinata Yuuto finished eating at Tsunade's house and talked for a while before leaving the Senju clan in the afternoon.

 At this time, due to the tense situation in the outside world, the village has reduced the dispatch of tasks and recalled a large number of ninjas. Along the way, Hinata Yuuto met many acquaintances, including Hatake Kakashi who was wearing a half-face mask, the energetic Uchiha Obito, Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai who had a good relationship at this time...

He even saw a little kid carrying an even smaller kid on his back, buying candies on the street.

"Shisui and... Itachi?"

 Uchiha Itachi is only a few months old, but the two tear troughs are too conspicuous. Considering his age, it is not surprising that Hinata Yuuto recognizes him.

 However, the young man who separated from his family only glanced at it and continued on his way.

Let Itachi and Shisui be put aside for now. There will be plenty of opportunities to look at them in the future. Now these two are still too young and there is really no value in using them. It is useless to just button eyeballs.

Hyuga Yuuto soon arrived at the Hyuga tribe.

 Unexpectedly, he did not see Hinata Hinashi. After a little inquiry, he found out that Hinata Hinata and several other leaders of the big clan had all been invited to the Hokage Building for a meeting.

 —War is indeed imminent.

 Hinata and Hinata are not around, and Hokage Sarutobi and Hiruzen have no time to listen to their own reports. Hyuga Yuuto has nothing to do today.

 The sudden free time made him a little uncomfortable.

 “Go to the teacher?”

This thought flashed through Hinata Yuuto's mind, and then he shook his head. Based on the boy's understanding of Tsunade, at this time, there was a 100% chance that she was being slaughtered crazily in the casino.

 There was nowhere to go, so he could only return to his home in the Hyuga clan.

It is still deserted. It has been uninhabited for two whole months, and there are layers of cobwebs in the corners.

Hinata Yuuto sighed, took out the cleaning tools again, and started cleaning seriously.

Due to the gradual growth of his body and the practice of strange strength and medical ninjutsu, his coordination has been greatly enhanced, and even the cleaning has become much faster. Before it gets dark, Hyuga Yuto has tidied the entire big house.

  Chakra can be regarded as the "productivity" of the ninja world. It is very efficient. With chakra, anything can be done with twice the result with half the effort.

 Hinata Yuto didn't feel hungry after finishing his housework, so he didn't even cook. He just lay in the room and stared at the roof blankly.

I don’t know how long I had been lying there, but the young man suddenly got up and left the house.

Stepping out of the clan area and following the familiar path, he came to his secret training place.

Hinata Yuuto took a deep breath and suddenly felt much more relaxed.

When he is doing nothing, he always feels panic and uneasiness. The caged bird engraved on his forehead seems to be a curse that drives him to move forward endlessly. Hyuga Yuuto cannot stop, and those senior time travelers "steal their lives" He has never experienced the cool style of "half a day's leisure".

“I was born to work hard.” Hinata Yuuto laughed at himself, took out the dummy from the tree hole, and stood it in the forest.

ˆBang bang bang bang bang…

 Hinata Yuuto kept hitting, using all the techniques he had learned.

 At the moment of exhaustion, he finally calmed down.
