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 the 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 sleeping with her eyes closed.
But the strange thing is that neither Ryosuke nor Hinata on his back are affected by the impact of the airflow, even though they are speeding at such a speed at an altitude of thousands of meters.
Both the robes and hair they wear 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. The body began to twist slightly.
"Did you sleep well? Sorry, I didn't give you time to rest."
Ryosuke apologized and stopped flying. 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.
She had just woken up from a deep sleep, her cheeks were slightly red, but she looked in good spirits, "It was 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 that you would not be used to sleeping like this."
Ryosuke breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he tried hard to suppress his muscles to make them less hard, and from time to time transmitted the medical chakra to her body for warmth, he was still afraid that it would affect her rest.
After all, in order to meet Shanks earlier, his behavior was somewhat unreasonable.
Compared to myself who was well-fed and well-prepared, Hinata had just finished a meeting and was very tired and went home. As a result, I pulled her into the team with just one sentence and started to hurry. Although this is 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 is a bit arbitrary. How could I not be used to it? Although the sleeping posture is different, we don’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 food pill and took a bite, and took out the map on her body and spread it out, "We are now..." "In the Black Wood Forest." Ryosuke pointed to a place name marked on the map. The Black Wood Forest is located in the inner 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 would take at least a few days to get from Konoha Village to the Blackwood Forest. They were almost near Saki Castle. Feeling the chakra consumption in his body along the way, Ryosuke explained, "I flew a little faster. According to my calculation, if we travel all night, we can reach Saki Castle tomorrow." In fact, if it weren't for Hinata, he could fly faster with his full strength, and it would be possible to reach Saki Castle before dawn. The body after the transformation was much stronger than Ryosuke imagined. He had never thought that he could travel back and forth 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." As she spoke, 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 was planning to make good use of her knowledge of wilderness survival along the way, and by the way, cook a few meals for Ryosuke with the ingredients she collected, and 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 admiration for Ryosuke's strength...
After being surprised once or twice, she slowly got used to it.
As long as it is about Ryosuke's combat power, Hinata feels that no matter how outrageous it is, she can 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 her cheeks and said vaguely: "After tomorrow, we will sneak into the city first, and then visit him after we have recovered our spirits."
As she spoke, she climbed onto Ryosuke's back skillfully. The figures of the two made Hinata look like a kitten lying on a big tiger.
"It's so hard, completely different from before."
Hinata stretched out her hand and patted the back that was completely different from before, and her palm was like patting a stone.
But the breath was still that familiar breath.
"I'm 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 meet Shanks earlier.
After Hinata woke up and ate some Bingliang pills for a short time, they started to hurry again.
The whistling wind blew in their 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 did not quite understand why Ryosuke did this, they still chose to believe in his judgment.
In a hurry, Hinata did not even hand over family affairs, and even did not 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 passed by, and she understood why they arrived at the Blackwood Forest so quickly. Time passed by bit by bit. Although the road was boring and the scenery was difficult to see due to the height, Hinata did not disturb Ryosuke and distract him. Ryosuke did not speak and hurried on his way. They were very quiet to each other, but they did not 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 silently followed the crowd to enter the city. At the magnificent city gate, Saki Castle's security was very relaxed, and it did not change because of 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 walked through the city gate head-on, there were many ways to confuse the warriors guarding the city, so they didn't work hard on this aspect.
As soon as they entered the city,
Hinata, who was beside Ryosuke, widened her eyes in surprise, looking at the bustling 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, as one of the top forces in the ninja world, was already prosperous enough, but I didn't expect to see a scene outside that was 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 bustling 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 is temporarily in charge of logistics in the clan. She knows the importance of economic development to a force. If there were no such 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 such a country behind our Hyuga, which can provide 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 a little.
But Ryosuke shook his head, "Wait a little longer. Konoha Village has made so many years of efforts, and the clan can't just let it go."
Without discussing this old-fashioned issue, the two found a restaurant, had a comfortable lunch, washed up, and then slowly went to bed to rest.
It took a lot of energy to rush all night, even Ryosuke needed a little rest.
With Hinata by his side, he didn't have to worry about his mind going crazy. As soon as he lay down, he fell asleep slowly by smelling the familiar smell of the person next to him.
When he woke up, it was already late at night.
"Eat first."
Hinata woke up early because she slept for a while on the road.
Before Ryosuke could see the time clearly, she had already brought a wooden box with a lot of food into the house.
After eating before going to bed, he would have a meal as usual after waking up. This is the basic quality of a physical training family.
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, "I really need someone who can take care of my daily life. I might as well bring Aunt Liang out. After all, you don't know how to..." He closed his mouth before he finished speaking. Because Hinata opposite him had already smiled, and her smile was very gentle. "Yes, I'm sure you are very important to me now." Ryosuke quickly changed the subject, 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, temporarily put the matter aside 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 couldn't sleep 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. Of all the recent events, this was the only unusual one. In the past, Ryosuke's wooden personality meant that their relationship would have been stagnant without her taking the initiative to contact him, and there was no way they would have made any breakthroughs. 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 both fear and joy, and she thought that he had come to her senses, but now she thinks that this matter is a bit strange. "Yeah."
Ryosuke nodded, "In fact, if you are not by my side recently, I can't sleep at all."
"Even when I am free, many bad thoughts will come to my mind."
"That's why I have become a little impatient recently, because if I stop moving forward and you are not by my side, I will fall into wild thoughts and find it difficult to control myself."
Hinata's expression was full of worry, "...Is it a problem that only appeared 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 sufficient information, which led to some consequences that should not have occurred."
"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 without real power, money, status, or 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 that he is between these mental states.
