During the Third World War, the Kirigakure Village also captured several members of the Hyuga branch on the battlefield, but there was no doubt that those Hyuga clan members committed suicide, and their Byakugan were destroyed by caged birds, leaving no useful research value for the Kirigakure.
Kazuma Kobayakawa put the letter from Xiguashan Pig aside. As soon as the sky was getting light, he left the embassy and went to ask Hinata Chan for the Shadow Clone Technique.
Chapter 62 There’s no going back
It was daybreak and only a faint light could be seen at the end of the sky. Kobayakawa Kazuma headed towards the Hyuga clan's territory.
On a small path leading to the Hyuga clan, Hinata Chan, wearing a long skirt with a fireworks pattern, stood against the wall. When she saw Kobayakawa Kazuma, a smile appeared in her eyes.
"Hey! The Shadow Clone Technique I promised you." Hinata Chan waved the scroll in his hand and showed off to Kobayakawa Kazuma.
"You really helped me a lot." Kobayakawa Kazuma held Hinata Chan in his arms. With the god-level ninjutsu of Shadow Clone, his future journey as a ninja would be smoother.
Even the crystal escape that had never been carefully developed had enough time and energy to study.
Hinata Chan was confused by Kobayakawa Kazuma's sudden action. She gently placed her hands on Kobayakawa Kazuma's back, closed her eyes, and her face was as red as the glow in the sky.
After separating from Kobayakawa Kazuma, Hinata Chan quickly rushed back home. Stealing the Shadow Clone Technique was a decision she made privately and she must not let her brother find out.
In the Hyuga clan's territory, outside her home, Hinata Chan met the person she least wanted to meet.
"Chan-chan, after completing the mission outside the village, I heard the news that you came back. It's great. Although some people in the clan are spreading rumors that you were insulted by that scumbag, I believe you." Hinata Masato held Hinata Chan's hand and looked very happy.
Ever since Hinata Chan was taken away, Hinata Masato has gone to the Third Hokage many times, requesting to get Hinata Chan back through negotiations.
"Oh!" Hinata Chan sighed. She didn't want to see her fiancé.
In the past, she didn’t know what it felt like to like someone, so even if she was going to marry someone she didn’t like, she could still barely keep in touch with them.
but now……
Hinata Chan placed her hand on her heart, very calm, without even any agitation. She knew very well that she did not like this fiancé, and she did not even have any impulse.
"Chan-chan, today I will go and propose to Lord Hiashi. Let's get married." Hinata Masato didn't notice Hinata Chan's change at all and was still just talking about his joy.
"I'm sorry, Masato..." Hinata-chan pulled her hand away, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she smiled faintly and said, "We... can never go back."
"Why?" Hinata Masato's face suddenly changed. His eyes revealed deep fear, and he waited for Hinata Chan's answer with a pleading look.
"Because I'm pregnant." Hinata Chan gently rubbed her belly, with a gentle smile on her face, and the radiance of maternal love seemed to overflow. "I promised Lord Kobayakawa that our child would be born smoothly and return to the Hyuga clan. That was the agreement between me and him."
"Ha..." Hinata Masato took a breath subconsciously, and there seemed to be a tremor in his tone.
"Why? Why do you want to give birth to a child for that kind of scum, Chan-chan!" Hinata Masato shook Hinata Chan's shoulders, his voice mixed with tears.
Hinata Chan impatiently shook off Hinata Masato's hand and said coldly: "Masato, I'm telling you, it's really annoying to cling to a woman like this!"
Hinata Chan turned and left. Hinata Masato seemed to have all the strength drained out of him in an instant. He leaned weakly against the wall, his body gradually curled up into a ball, and he cried.
Kazuma Kobayakawa, who had taken away the Shadow Clone Technique, also returned to the embassy. He stayed in the room alone and secretly learned the Shadow Clone Technique.
The difficulty of the Shadow Clone Jutsu is far greater than any ninjutsu that Kobayakawa Kazuma had learned before. Fortunately, he had the B-level ninja qualification, which allowed Kobayakawa Kazuma to learn this ninjutsu quickly.
In the following days, in addition to handling daily affairs, Kazuma Kobayakawa spent his free time studying the shadow clone technique.
The only downside to being a diplomat is that you don't have the time to devote yourself to improving your abilities.
Three months later, winter was almost over, the snow in Konoha began to melt, and Kobayakawa Kazuma's Shadow Clone Technique had reached 3% completion.
At this stage, Kazuma Kobayakawa can already use the Shadow Clone Technique unstably, although there is a certain probability of risk of failure.
However, the larger amount of chakra made Kobayakawa Kazuma not care about the risk of failure. Since there was a certain failure rate, he could just try a few more times.
Every morning, Kazuma Kobayakawa would use the Shadow Clone Technique to create two shadow clones, and then have one of the shadow clones leave the embassy before dawn and run to a deserted place to develop Crystal Release, while the other shadow clone would stay in the embassy to practice his daily ninjutsu.
He himself wandered around every corner of Konoha Village, handling various different matters.
The fundamental reason why only two shadow clones were created was that Kobayakawa Kazuma was afraid of the consequences of excessive fatigue or chakra depletion.
After all, after the Shadow Clone Technique is lifted, in addition to the knowledge and experience gained by the clone being returned to the original body, the feeling of fatigue will also be returned to the original body.
It is for this reason that the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, which can create multiple shadow clones at once, is listed as a forbidden technique.
However, even so, Kazuma Kobayakawa was very satisfied. The existence of two shadow clones meant that his speed in practicing ninjutsu had reached twice the usual speed.
Another month passed, and Kobayakawa Kazuma's Shadow Clone Technique had reached 5% completion. At this level of completion, there was almost no risk of failure in performing the Shadow Clone Technique, it would only waste some extra chakra.
Everywhere you look, cherry blossom trees scattered throughout Konoha are revealing buds that are about to bloom, and the small trees along the road are also sprouting tender green branches.
Kobayakawa Kazuma went to the Uchiha clan's territory as usual. Although Uchiha Fugaku did not have a very good impression of him, he did not intend to let go of this piece of fat meat of Uchiha.
In particular, during the period when Hinata Chan is still pregnant, it is necessary to hurry up and get a beautiful woman from the Uchiha clan in order to enhance strength and deal with the crisis that may occur next.
Moreover, Kazuma Kobayakawa could vaguely feel that Konoha Village had become increasingly restless recently, and the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village was intensifying.
When the night of genocide comes, I'm afraid I won't be able to find an Uchiha woman who can give birth to a child for me.
A few hundred meters away from the Uchiha clan's territory, Kobayakawa Kazuma and Uchiha Itachi met by chance on a small road, which made Kobayakawa Kazuma alert.
At the moment of meeting, Uchiha Itachi's three-magatama Sharingan opened subconsciously.
Kobayakawa Kazuma knew very well that the Uchiha clan's Sharingan would not only be used actively in battle, but would also be opened when they were overly emotional.
Now, Uchiha Itachi probably not only has a bad impression of him, but he may even have the intention to kill him.
Chapter 63 Backstab Master
"Lord Kobayakawa." Uchiha Itachi bowed to Kobayakawa Kazuma. He did not have a good impression of this Kirigakure villager who often appeared in his home.
During this sensitive period, Kobayakawa Ichima's visit will only exacerbate the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village. Having witnessed the Third Ninja World War, he longs for peace.
Seeing Uchiha Itachi's black hair and the traces of tears in his eye sockets, Kobayakawa Ichima couldn't help but chuckle and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Please don't go to the Uchiha clan's residence again. The relationship between the village and the Uchiha clan is very tense now. You are a ninja from the Hidden Mist Village, and your behavior has brought great trouble to our clan." Uchiha Itachi lowered his head, his tone and attitude were very respectful.
"I'm talking to you. You have the Sharingan, which the Uchiha clan is proud of, but you can't tell the difference between falsehood and reality? Itachi, you are as stupid as Uchiha Shisui." Kobayakawa Kazuma shook his head and didn't intend to pay attention to this young genius.
Perhaps Itachi has his own understanding of peace, but in Kobayakawa Kazuma's opinion, abandoning an entire clan just for a false peace is undoubtedly a very stupid act.
Although Itachi finally saved his brother Uchiha Sasuke, it was at the expense of the entire Uchiha.
Although Mangetsu Hozuki, who is also called a genius like Itachi, has a smaller vision, abandoning the false peace and choosing the path of a rebellious ninja is another option.
When the breeze blew, the willow branches that should have swayed in the wind seemed to be fixed by something and solidified to one side.
Kazuma Kobayakawa immediately realized the problem. He was caught in an illusion. He didn't know when Uchiha Itachi had cast an illusion on him.
"Tsk!" Kobayakawa Kazuma was in a bad mood. He was worthy of being the cheater in Konoha. How dare you say that Uchiha Itachi was just a Chunin?
With just three magatama, Uchiha Itachi was able to kill most of the jonin from other ninja villages in seconds.
Kobayakawa Ichima quickly disrupted the chakra in his body, using this method to escape from the illusion. The still image in front of him was peeled off, and Uchiha Itachi, holding a kunai in his backhand, had already stabbed over.
A large amount of chakra erupted under his feet, and Kobayakawa Kazuma used the technique of instant body movement to dodge Uchiha Itachi's thrust, feeling extremely heavy in his heart.
Even without the Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Itachi's strength has reached this level, and his attainments in illusion techniques are probably not inferior to those of the 30-year-old Kurenai Yuhi.
"Do you understand what it means to attack me?" Kazuma Kobayakawa asked coldly. Taking advantage of this gap, he dismissed the two shadow clones who were practicing ninjutsu in the embassy.
In an instant, a large amount of chakra was returned to the body, which gave Kazuma Kobayakawa some confidence.
"That's why I'm here to talk to you alone." Uchiha Itachi threatened: "Since you don't agree, I can only defend peace in my own way. Afterwards, I will bear all the blame."
"It seems that you are very confident that you can beat me." Kobayakawa Kazuma twisted his neck. He deliberately avoided Uchiha Itachi's sight to prevent himself from being hit by the illusion again.
Uchiha Itachi did not shy away from the question and replied coldly: "I have investigated you. Although you are far better than me in ninjutsu proficiency and slightly better than me in taijutsu, your ninjutsu are very ordinary and are restrained by my Sharingan."
"That's right." Kobayakawa Kazuma couldn't help but admit that although Itachi was only in his teens at this time, his mind and strength had already surpassed that of ordinary jonin. Coupled with the Uchiha clan's Sharingan, there were really few jonin in the major ninja villages who could be his match.
"However, you were investigating me two months ago. Now, your information is outdated." Kobayakawa Kazuma honestly made seals with his hands, Chou, Xu, Chen, Zi, Xu, Hai, Si, and Yin, a total of eight seals. The next moment, six shadow clones appeared in front of Uchiha Itachi.
This Shadow Clone Technique is a new ninjutsu that Kobayakawa Isshin has learned. Except for a few people like Mei Terumi, no one has seen it, and Uchiha Itachi certainly has not seen it either.
The Shadow Clone Technique is a ninjutsu invented by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, against the Uchiha clan, and it is designed to counter the Sharingan.
"I know your illusion is very powerful, and your clan's unique Sharingan has a bonus to the casting of illusions. But, can you make all the shadow clones fall into the illusion in an instant?" Avoiding Uchiha Itachi's eyes, the six shadow clones rushed towards Uchiha Itachi.
Kobayakawa Kazuma's greatest advantage is naturally his huge amount of chakra and excellent physical skills. Even if the chakra is divided into seven parts, each part of chakra is still enough to compete with the young Itachi.
A shadow clone used the technique of instant body movement to appear behind Uchiha Itachi, and then engaged in close combat with Itachi.
"They are all entities. This is not an ordinary clone technique. They are all real shadow clones." The moment he saw the shadow clones appear, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but panic. At this moment, the advantage of the Sharingan disappeared.
Uchiha Itachi's Sharingan spun rapidly, he saw through the shadow clone's every move and predicted the other party's next move.
opportunity!
Seeing the shadow clone's raised right hand smashing down, Uchiha Itachi squatted to avoid the attack. He seized the gap in the shadow clone's attack, and the kunai in his hand flew out, killing one of the shadow clones with one kunai.
The remaining five shadow clones used the technique of instant body movement to come in front of Uchiha Itachi, and the five of them rushed forward.
Uchiha Itachi jumped high and avoided the attack of the shadow clone. He quickly formed hand seals in mid-air, puffed up his mouth, and aimed at Kobayakawa Kazuma at the back, who was the real body.
Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique.
The huge fireball attacked Kazuma Kobayakawa, like a sea of fire burning the ground beneath his feet.
Seeing the figure engulfed in the sea of fire, Uchiha Itachi breathed a sigh of relief. He won.
The main body was attacked, and even the shadow clones below him were affected. They were slowly released one by one and exploded into a ball of white mist.
As the last wisp of flame at his mouth died out, Uchiha Itachi fell to the ground, and suddenly, a long sword pierced his body.
"How is it? Did my shadow clone act very similarly?" Kazuma Kobayakawa's voice sounded behind Uchiha Itachi, with a slight tremor in his voice.
The one that was engulfed by the fireball was naturally the shadow clone. Kobayakawa Kazuma deliberately let the shadow clone be burned by the fireball before releasing it.
However, as the shadow clone was released, the pain from the burning flames was also felt by the main body, and it was very painful.
However, the opponent is Uchiha Itachi, who is known as a genius. How can he find this excellent opportunity to backstab him without paying a price?
"How could this happen?" Itachi looked down at the long knife that pierced his chest, and felt a piercing pain.
Then, his body scattered, and a group of crows fled in all directions, and in the distance they reassembled into the appearance of Itachi, but this time, Itachi covered his chest, and blood continued to spurt out of the wound.
