Chapter 268 The other half
Every day that Hyuga Hinata lives is like a provocation.
This is the future.
Uchiha Itachi eventually parted ways with Tsunade on bad terms. Mercy is certainly needed in the face of life and death, but sometimes this kind of human softness may not be recognized by all of his compatriots.
Itachi left a note with these two lines of words on it and left without saying a word, but the fact that Hinata Hyuga was still able to breathe and sleep in Tsunade's arms without knowing anything was the best answer.
He is compromising, what kind of compromise?
"It can't be me..."
Tsunade sat alone in the room with Hinata sleeping on her legs. She looked out the window, recalling every word Uchiha Itachi had said.
She didn't think Itachi was wrong. In fact, in Tsunade's opinion, that was what they should do.
Is this what a ninja is?
Weren't the original ninjas just emotionless killing machines, and then one day, they became what they are now.
Compared to companions and life, completing the mission always comes first.
This is what a ninja is, this is how they were taught.
Therefore, Konoha White Fang who gave up the mission and chose his teammates would become the sinner of Konoha, and Uchiha Itachi who sent his entire family to prison would become a hero.
But she always felt that something was wrong.
What can change this, and what can point out the mistakes.
None of this can be accomplished overnight. Being born in the present, living in a known world, and having your own opinions that are different from those around you is wrong in the first place.
The previous one who was called the Number One Companion has now become Uchiha Madara’s toy.
The next one will shout for his companions and linger around the tail end of the car.
The cycle continues, and she will continue to live.
The only ones who can know what will happen next are those in the future.
"Well..." Tsunade lowered her head and looked at the girl who was still not awake.
"There's no point in thinking so much, just take it one step at a time."
"Have some courage, Tsunade."
Now the biggest mess has been thrown into her hands, and Hinata's opponent is that Kabuto Yakushi.
It is said that he was a jonin who was picked up by a jonin, but according to Itachi's description, this person is not as simple as he seems.
Not only is he Scorpion's spy, but he's also Orochimaru's confidant.
Even in the future, one will become an "immortal".
It's magical just thinking about it. A Genin who has been a little-known intelligence ninja for thousands of years, not only is his ninjutsu not outstanding, but his abilities in all aspects are just mediocre.
But he is a spy with a thousand faces hiding in the dark.
Certainly, the work of Danzo and his group of old guys was also indispensable.
As the saying goes, there must be something hateful about a pitiful person. Up to now, Yao Shidou has not become completely hateful.
"In short, we cannot allow Hyuga Hinata and Yakushi Kabuto to have a head-on conflict."
Itachi seemed to have convicted Kabuto Yakushi from the very beginning.
"He hasn't done anything yet."
People are developing, and things are developing as well. Making assumptions about them without authorization will only push things toward the "assumed" outcome.
Especially for someone like Kabuto Yakushi who is a fence-sitter and has no loyalty at all.
If there were someone more worthy of his admiration than Orochimaru, perhaps things could still turn around.
Or maybe Kabuto Yakushi and Orochimaru are not yet aware of the existence of Hinata Hyuga and that strange dream, and this is just a common coincidence.
Uchiha Itachi was unwilling to bet on what was over there.
"We don't get another chance, Lady Tsunade."
"No matter what time it is, we should always prepare for the worst, right?"
So from the very beginning, he wanted to kill Hinata Hyuga.
But Tsunade just smiled and responded: "You are right."
She did not deny this.
"But there is no need to deny all possibilities for a better future."
"you..."
Itachi compromised again and again until he left.
Tsunade did not convince him of her sense of accomplishment, which really fits the saying "parting on bad terms".
"Well..."
The girl's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she was about to open her eyes.
White flowed out from the gaps, and they were clearly all Byakugan, but they were far different from the pair Tsunade was familiar with in her memory.
It is natural for cousins to look similar, but their similar looks reveal completely different temperaments.
There was no feeling of being seen through, nor was there the unique coldness and melancholy of that person. Instead, there was a sense of cowardice and uneasiness that made the ninja feel upset.
"you're awake?"
The woman smiled and helped the girl sit up.
Of course Uchiha Itachi would not let Hyuga Hinata walk out like this. His eyes flashed with black flames.
If someone uses illusion on Hinata Hyuga, Amaterasu will burn them to ashes without mercy.
"Tsunade...sama..."
She looked a little confused: "I am..."
Hinata has had the problem of fainting due to excessive nervousness since she was a child. She subconsciously thought that she was too nervous to bear seeing her brother Neji at the branch family, and her brain habitually went on strike.
This happens all the time, it just happened at a bad time.
"I..."
Hinata Hyuga turned into a steam engine, her whole face flushed red. She didn't dare to look directly into Tsunade's eyes. There seemed to be white mist coming out of her head, and she felt ashamed.
This kind of thing! At such an important time!
"I'm glad you're okay, Hinata-chan. You gave us a scare when you suddenly fainted!"
The woman smiled and pulled the girl up.
He smiled again and took the girl outside.
Just like what Uchiha Itachi did to her at the beginning.
"Ah... I... Brother Neji..." Subconsciously, her hands were twisted together, and her two white and slender fingers were dotted with sparse calluses. Hinata was not yet ready to say anything.
At least she didn't forget what she came here for.
It's a blessing in disguise.
But those hands didn't look like the hands of a Hyuga clan member - instead they looked like those of the Hyuga main family.
It looks more like the eldest daughter of the Zong family.
The eldest daughter of the clan who could make her own father say that his twelve-year-old daughter was not even as good as her six-year-old sister.
Tsunade can't be said to despise Hinata, but this doesn't mean that Hinata didn't work hard or anything - it's just that information asymmetry always exists, and talent and quality also determine how far a person can achieve.
Some people know how to become strong at the age of three.
But some people need to be taught by others, and only when they have an epiphany one day can they make some progress.
Tsunade has met so many, so many people.
Those who are able to work hard are also talented, at least she thinks she is one of this category.
"Ningji is feeling unwell and has gone to bed now."
Tsunade's voice was extremely gentle, as if being a little harsher would scare the girl.
"Ah..." Hinata sighed in disappointment, her eyes reluctantly drifting towards the room she had visited in her childhood.
This is the first time I come to the Hyuga branch without my father.
I didn't expect that I would do such a shameful thing...
If she can’t find brother Neji today, tomorrow... will be her Chunin Exam.
To be honest, she didn't have the confidence to win against Kabuto Yakushi at all.
But she will not escape, this is the result of her partners' joint efforts, and it is an opportunity for her to prove herself.
"Then I'll come again next time..."
If she can prove herself, brother Neji won't look down on her anymore.
By that time, she will definitely be braver than she is now and will be able to say everything she wants to say.
Thinking of this, Hinata realized that she had been taken out of the door by Tsunade, and it was time to say goodbye.
"Thank you, Lady Tsunade."
She thanked him timidly, not knowing that she was thanking the wrong person.
The blonde smiled brightly, "Do your best tomorrow, Hinata-chan."
The hand passed over Hinata's head carelessly. Tsunade never added any pet names or nicknames when addressing people.
But Hinata is an exception. It's not because Tsunade likes this girl so much, but simply because she is Hyuga Hinata.
That's it.
At the same time, the shadows of the trees were swaying in the courtyard. The boy was still tired after a light sleep, but he still opened his eyes generously and compassionately.
"Gaara..."
Snake-Eyed Apricot Tree went out to fetch water, leaving the red-haired boy alone in the room.
Ningci held the other person's hand with some difficulty and chuckled:
"That's... my other half..."
He hadn't dreamt of it for a long time, a past that was so real that it didn't seem like a dream.
"Black... hooded..."
"My other half, who was handed over as a bargaining chip."
Perhaps you will find your promised other half, who has the power of "God".
