Chapter 42 Return to the Land of Waves (Thanks to the lucky symbol for the reward and extra chapter)

Over the next few days, Luo Yi and Hanabi tried out a new schedule, which was approved by Hiashi and Hiruzen.

Especially the "game-based training", the Third Hokage even thought of promoting it in ninja schools, although it is a bit beyond the scope of the current children.

But thinking of the ninjas of Kakashi's generation who could tread water at will at the age of 12, and the fact that only more than a decade later, Sasuke, an outstanding graduate of the ninja school at the age of 12, was still practicing tree climbing, Hiruzen could not help but frown.

This isn't even a generation away, the regression of teenage ninjas is terrifying.

No, at least "climbing trees barefoot" must be included in the content of the future ninja school graduation exam.

This directly led to the fact that in the next few decades, prospective graduates of ninja schools secretly and cordially sent regards to the entire family of the culprit who caused the sudden increase in the difficulty of the exam.

If there is any experience worth recording, it is that Hiruzen recommended to Luo Yi to sign a "Blood Contract" with the monkey clan of the Enma, and that Hayate brought his lover Uzuki Yugao, who happened to be on her day off, to practice swordsmanship, to exchange experiences in swordsmanship practice together.

I have to admit that Hayate's girlfriend looks even prettier than in the anime, so could it be that Hayate's weak body is really because... ahem!

Hinata finally came back. According to her description, Luo Yi found that some C-level tasks were not as cost-effective as D-level tasks. If it was just for income, it would be better to do D-level tasks frequently.

For example, during the few days in Konoha, perhaps because Mrs. Zhizhimei paid an extra expedited fee and the village was short of manpower, Luo Yi was assigned to go out and find the pet cat Xiaohu.

Everyone in Konoha knows that "Find Xiaohu" is a task that is regularly refreshed in the D-level task bar, and it is very cost-effective.

Mrs. Chishimi is very generous.

It can be seen that even in the world of Naruto, the power of rich women is shocking. Luo Yi pinched his wallet which was finally bulging and sighed.

Considering the astonishing number of D-rank missions on my father-in-law's resume, could it be...

Being the head of a household isn't easy either.

Finally, Luo Yi could feel that the little girl had completely put aside her airs as the "Second Miss of the Hyuga Family" when she was alone with him, and showed the liveliness that a girl of this age should have.

He just needs to pretend in front of the tribe members other than himself and Hinata.

Maybe Hiashi is only strict on the surface, but his inherent gentleness still affects the children and prevents Hanabi and Hinata from becoming as stubborn as Neji.

One more thing to add, Luo Yi's study of sealing techniques can be said to be just beginning. With the attribute suppression of Yin-Yang Escape, it is no problem for him to lift the sealing technique "Bird in a Cage" that the Hyuga clan has used against the branch family.

But he knew clearly that the seal on the body was easy to remove, but the seal on the mind was difficult.

The conclusion is that you need to wait for the right time.

Whether it was removing the burdens of Neji and Hanabi, or removing the "shackles" that imprisoned the entire Hyuga family.

Luo Yi always kept in mind the principle that haste makes waste.

...

So, time came to the day when "Rizu" and Cardo agreed to meet.

At the gate of Konoha Village, Hiashi looked calmly at "himself" who had already stepped out of the village gate, while Hanabi beside him also looked at him curiously.

"It's a perfect transformation technique. It's hard to detect any clues even with the Byakugan in a short period of time. Be careful and come back as soon as possible." Rizu gave a high evaluation.

"boom--"

"Sorry for the offense." Luo Yi cancelled the transformation technique and changed back from "Rizu" to his true form.

"Ninjas shouldn't be so particular about tactics. Hokage and I both hope you can achieve your goal." Hiashi said, and then glanced at his little daughter beside him, "But don't force yourself, and don't make Hanabi worry."

As expected, the original Hiashi is essentially a gentle person, but he is also subjected to a sealing technique called "family responsibility".

Luo Yi gave the little girl an apologetic smile, "Don't worry, Hanabi, I'll be back soon."

At least before the Ninja School opens.

"Um... yeah." There were many passers-by entering and exiting the gate nearby, and Hanabi tried to remain expressionless in response, although her slightly pouting lips already gave away her inner thoughts.

Luo Yi had an urge to leave a yin and yang clone to accompany her.

But how to say it, even if it is a yin and yang clone created by himself, Luo Yi finds it difficult to have a sense of identity that the clone is himself.

The original body is doing a mission outside, and the Yin and Yang clones are at home accompanying the girl. It makes me uncomfortable just thinking about it, and it feels like NTR.

Who made me awesome? And who did I make awesome?

Not to mention, the risks of the Yin-Yang Clone Ninjutsu are still unknown. If abused, it may cause a disaster that even the main body will find difficult to deal with.

"I'm leaving." After a brief psychological struggle, Luo Yi set foot on the road to the East.

He knew that Hanabi was still watching his back, so he walked away slowly until he was within visible distance.

When the boy's figure disappeared in the morning mist, Hiashi patted the little girl's back and said, "Go back, Hanabi. Luo Yi will be back to Konoha in a few days."

"Yeah." The little girl lowered her head, and did not conceal the sense of loss in her expression and tone.

The old father suddenly felt that he should put on one more piece of clothing before going out early in the morning.

What's wrong with a jonin? A jonin is also a human being, and he has no choice but to be in middle age. He is very strong for not holding a thermos cup.

On the other side, after no longer being able to see the fireworks, Luo Yi sighed softly. He still remembered that when he first traveled through time, he was in a completely playful mood, but after only a few days, he was already worried.

"Whoosh-"

The young man disappeared from the spot and flew away at a speed comparable to that of instant teleportation.

...

Wave Country, a port town near the northern end of the island.

It was already evening when Luo Yi arrived at the agreed town square. He transformed into Rizu before landing.

In order to play the whole play, he also created a shadow clone, which then turned into the appearance of a member of a branch family of the Hyuga clan, carrying a suitcase filled with leaves that turned into money.

By the way, when he was turning leaves into banknotes, a bold idea came to his mind...

Fortunately, it was suppressed in the end.

It is called a "square", but in fact it is a private back garden built by Cardo for himself. Local residents have no right to enter, and they are not even allowed to pass by and take a look.

There is an exquisitely crafted small fountain in the center of the square, surrounded by stone benches and carved street lamps.

The horizontal pole of the street lamp is quite long, suitable for hanging primitive capitalists like Cardo on it for public display.

It's a pity that I can't do it.

The scheduled time was 7pm, and "Rizu" arrived 5 minutes ahead of schedule, while Kado seemed to have been waiting for a while.

It can be seen that the Hyuga family still holds great weight in the other party's heart.

On the bench next to the fountain were Cardo and his two warrior bodyguards, Valaj and "Zhuoli", and the kidnapped "Luo Yi".

On the side of "Hizashi", there are only "Hizashi" and a Hyuga clan member who doesn't look very strong.

Cardo knew that blackmailing a jonin from a powerful ninja village was not wise at all, but he firmly believed that "others are fearful and I am greedy" could bring huge profits, and his experience so far has proved his motto.

Moreover, this is his home ground and he has hostages.

After a few days of observation, it was discovered that this hostage was not a ninja, but a good-for-nothing who only cared about eating. He was a complete waste and burden.

Cardo's assessment of the situation was very accurate. Even if a conflict arose, in a three-on-three situation, he could easily hold out until the people lying in ambush nearby came out and subdued the other side.

The advantage is mine!

If he knew that among the six people present, four were Luo Yi's clones, transformations, or clones' transformations, how would he feel?

It feels like it will be exciting, but he has to hold back. For the sake of the overall situation, he cannot do whatever he wants.

A ninja is someone who is patient and then makes a big move when the time comes, allowing the world to feel the joy.

"Zhuoli", who was transformed from the Yin-Yang clone, had a bandage on his face, covering his mouth and nose similar to Zabuza. He seemed to be pretending to have an injured mouth to avoid exposing his true identity by communicating too much with Cardo and others.

As for the hostage shadow clone, it seems like he has gained a little weight. Is it an illusion?

Unfortunately, even after transforming into Rizhao, Luo Yi still wouldn't roll his eyes, so it was impossible to figure out what he was doing just by staring at him.

"I've long heard of your name, Lord Hyuga Hiashi of Konoha." Cardo smiled cunningly, as if he had everything under control.

"Sorry for the long wait, Mr. Cardo, thank you for helping my little guest from the Hyuga clan." "Hiashi" said with a stern face.
