Jiraiya pointed at Minato Namikaze and indicated that they should start with him first.
"Teacher, we should save Tang Nation Daimyo, and we must not let him fall into the hands of Thunder Nation!"
The choice made by Minato Namikaze was exactly the same as Jiraiya, and he also guessed the reason why Jiraiya called the four of them over.
"I am willing to lead the team to complete this task. Please trust me, teacher."
"Of course I believe you." Jiraiya nodded, then looked at Hizashi Hizashi, "Hizashi, what do you think?"
"Master Jiraiya, this kind of mission of going deep into the enemy's territory alone is most suitable for our Hyuga clan." Hyuga Hiashi pointed at his Byakugan, "All the enemy's movements and loopholes cannot escape these eyes."
"I naturally believe in the supercilious eyes of the Hyuga clan, and I also believe in Hinata's ability." Jiraiya nodded, and then looked at Akira Hatake, "Smart ghost, what do you think?"
"Master, I am very happy to carry out this mission, but I have one thing to add."
"Oh? Tell me about it." Jiraiya has always had an inexplicable sense of anticipation towards Hatake Akira. He really wants to see what unique insights Hatake Akira has.
"Our target for this mission is the Daimyo of Soup Country. Rescue is of course our top priority, but if force majeure occurs during the journey, I think it is also feasible to kill the Daimyo of Soup Country in the territory of Thunder Country. It may even bring us unexpected results."
"What you mean is..." Jiraiya looked at Hatake Akira deeply and instantly understood what he was thinking.
Akira Hatake's intention is obvious, that is, to rescue if he can, and to kill the Tang Dynasty Daimyo if he can't rescue, and then plant the blame on Lei Zhiguo, so that Tang Zhiguo will completely fall to Konoha.
Even if you can't wear the same pair of pants as Konoha, it will take a big circle across the territory of several countries to attack Konoha's Kingdom of Thunder, and experience what logistical pressure is.
There are three small countries between the Thunder Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom. If the Thunder Kingdom wants to attack the Fire Kingdom, then the Thunder Kingdom's front line and supply line will become their biggest weakness.
As long as the Daimyo of Hot Spring Country dies in the territory of Lightning Country, there is absolutely no chance that Hot Spring Country will reconcile with Lightning Country. Harassing and ambushing Lightning Country's long supply lines will become the main means of retaliation by Hot Spring Country's ninjas.
"If the situation allows, you can do this." Jiraiya still accepted Hatake Akira's proposal, and also gave a subtle reminder, "You must hide your identity, otherwise you will end up losing more than you gain."
"Don't worry, Master. There won't be any problem."
The way Hatake Akira patted his chest to make assurances made Jiraiya laugh. "Although the suggestion is good, you need to follow Minato's orders on how to do it."
Reaching out and patting Minato Namikaze's shoulder, Jiraiya looked solemn and said, "The safety of the northeastern defense line is now in your hands."
"Don't worry, Master. We will complete the task brilliantly!"
"It's good to have confidence, but the danger of going deep into the enemy's territory alone cannot be ignored. I must tell you worse news." Jiraiya paused, "Whether you succeed or not, you will not be able to get support from the main force. You must be aware of this."
"We understand."
"Well, let's get ready and set off as soon as possible." Jiraiya turned his back and waved to the four people.
Chapter 115 Hinata Hizashi's eagerness.
"A large enemy force is found 8 kilometers ahead!"
The four people who went deep into the heart of the Land of Hot Springs ran all the way, and Hyuga Hizashi, who was hidden in the middle and protected by Minato Namikaze, Akira Hatake, and Kakashi, suddenly spoke out a reminder.
"Can we get around it?"
Namikaze Minato, who was leading the battle, looked back at Hinata Hinata, and asked him in a deep voice.
"We can go around it, but the defense line of the Hidden Cloud Village ninja troops is very long. It will inevitably take some time to go around it." Hinata Hizashi put forward his own opinion, "I used my Byakugan to observe that there are several defense loopholes in the enemy's defense line eight kilometers ahead. We can take advantage of it."
"Let's go around..." Namikaze Minato said calmly, "It does take longer in terms of time, but it is undoubtedly safer to do so, after all, we cannot have any reinforcements."
"Okay." Hinata Hibiki nodded, and then pointed out a detour route, "Go 5 kilometers forward at the three o'clock direction, then change to the 12 o'clock direction and go 3 kilometers forward. We can go around the edge of their defense line."
"Everyone, follow me!"
After knowing the route provided by Hyuga Hizashi, Namikaze Minato made a gesture and then led the three people to change the direction.
But after running for about five minutes, Hinata Hizashi's face suddenly changed.
"Oh no, there's a new situation ahead!"
"What's wrong Hizashi?!"
"Eight kilometers ahead, there is a fan-shaped defense line of the Hidden Cloud Village." Hinata Hizashi looked very bad, with sweat dripping down his forehead, "Minato, the defense line of the Hidden Cloud Village ninja troops is arranged in a stepped fan-shaped defense circle."
"This is a difficult situation..." Namikaze Minato muttered to himself. He naturally understood what the stepped fan-shaped defense circle meant.
And then Hyuga Hizashi immediately told Namikaze Minato a piece of bad news.
"Minato, the defensive arrangement of the ninja troops of Yunyin Village is obviously aimed at the eyes of our Hyuga clan."
"How to say?"
"Each fan-shaped defense line is 5 kilometers apart and 8 kilometers long. Although the personnel are sparsely deployed, it is within the range of the fastest ninja support speed."
"That is to say, once there is any disturbance, the fan-shaped defense line will form an encirclement at the fastest speed, and it will be the kind with three layers inside and three layers outside!"
"The observation range of the Byakugan is between 5 and 10 kilometers. When the Byakugan discovers the first line of defense, we who want to infiltrate will definitely change the direction of infiltration. Then, after traveling two to three kilometers, I will find the location of the second line of defense."
"They were very close to us, which not only made it difficult for us to infiltrate, but also greatly slowed down our infiltration speed."
"According to my estimation, by the time we break through the stepped fan-shaped defense of the Hidden Cloud Village Ninja Force, the Daimyo of the Land of Hot Springs will have already been escorted to the Land of Lightning by them!"
"This..." Namikaze Minato's heart kept sinking, "In that case, if we want to rescue or kill the Daimyo of Hot Spring Country, there is no better way than to force our way through the defense line set up by the Hidden Cloud Village Ninja..."
"Indeed, we..."
"and many more!"
Akira Hatake interrupted the conversation between the two, "I remember that Jonin said just now that the observation distance of white eyes is 5-10 kilometers, so if the observation distance is increased to 10 kilometers, then we can find out earlier The fan-shaped defensive front in the back, so as to change the direction earlier, and save a lot of time for our safe infiltration."
"What Ming said is correct, but I am a branch of the Hyuga clan... The maximum observation distance of the Byakugan is only 8 kilometers."
Hinata Hizashi looked depressed, but still explained bitterly to Hatake Akira.
Are there any limitations on the observation distance of white eyes for caged birds?
In the past, Akira Hatake only knew that a bird in a cage would cause a fatal blind spot in the Byakugan's 360° vision, but he didn't know that the Byakugan's visual distance would also be affected.
But after thinking about it, Hatake Akira felt relieved. The bird in the cage was not only a means of controlling the branch family, but also affected the purity and potential of the Byakugan. It was not surprising that it had such an influence.
"Okay Ming, get ready, let's start the armed assault!"
Minato Namikaze made a decision immediately. Now, with every second that passed, the Daimyo of Yu Country was further away from them.
They can't afford to delay!
"Teacher, I still have a way!"
Akira Hatake raised his hand and threw out a purple-red chakra chain, which was wrapped around his waist under Hinata's puzzled eyes.
"Ming, you..."
As soon as two words came out, Hinata Hizashi's eyes widened and his mouth opened so wide that a fist could almost be stuffed in!
“This…this…this…how is this possible!?”
Hinata Hizashi felt that all the attributes of his body were raised by nearly 40%, and his Byakugan, affected by the bird in the cage, seemed to be reborn, and its abilities were also improved to a certain extent.
"The visual angle has disappeared..." Hinata Hizashi looked around and thought to himself, "And the detection range of the Byakugan has not only reached the 10-kilometer limit of the Soka family's Byakugan, but it has even increased by 1 kilometer!"
"Ming, tell me, what is this ability of yours? Is it permanent? Are there any side effects? Does it have any effect on you?"
Hinata Hizashi forgot the mission he was carrying out and looked at Hatake Akira excitedly. He took two steps forward and grabbed his hand, speaking in an extremely excited voice.
"Uh... this..." Facing Hinata Nichizai who suddenly became enthusiastic, Hatake Akira looked a little unnatural, "It's just a special auxiliary ability of mine, and it will not harm my body."
"Then what is the lasting effect of your ability...?"
"If the chakra chain keeps you tied, the effect will last forever."
Suddenly, after Hatake Akira said this, Hinata Hizashi's eyes lit up frighteningly, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on Hatake Akira's hand.
He saw hope from Akira Hatake, and saw the dawn of Separation's white eyes getting rid of the harm of the caged bird!
It’s not that Hyuga Hizashi wants the branch family to completely get rid of the caged bird, but he hopes to keep the caged bird to protect the Byakugan from being stolen, while reducing the restrictions and damage of the caged bird on the purity and ability of the Byakugan.
As the head of the branch family, Hyuga Hiashi naturally knew the importance of the bird in the cage to the entire Hyuga family.
It can be said that if there is no bird in a cage, it is still an unknown question whether the Hyuga clan still exists.
After all, the white eyes that have been open since birth are really tempting!
If the bird in the cage had not existed, the Hyuga clan would have been in name only as early as the Warring States Period.
Even if there are surviving Hyuga clansmen, they will be reduced to humanoid reproductive machines that produce supercilious eyes!
"Then can I ask you to..."
"Stop!" Hatake Akira urgently mediated, "Let's finish the current task first, and then discuss these things."
"Yes, yes, yes, complete the task first." Hinata Hizashi came back to his senses, his face a little hot.
After calming down, Hinata Hizashi, with the help of Hatake Akira, once again used his Byakugan to observe any movement 11 kilometers away.
"Go two kilometers toward 1 o'clock, then turn toward 11 o'clock and go another three kilometers!"
Hinata Hizashi reported a new route of action again, and the four set out again to chase the captured Daimyo of Yu Country.
Chapter 116 Wind Style: Rasenshuriken, here we go! (Subscribe, monthly pass!)
The Hyuga clan is indeed a family that has the confidence to compete with the Uchiha clan for the title of the number one eye technique family.
In certain specific circumstances, the Byakugan is indeed more advantageous than the Sharingan.
It’s just a pity that the path for the Byakugan to evolve to a higher level is much more difficult than that for the Sharingan.
The Uchiha clan's Sharingan has a smoother evolutionary path, from one magatama to three magatama, from three magatama to Mangekyo, from Mangekyo to Eternal Mangekyo, and finally to the Rinnegan.
On the other hand, although the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan also has differences in purity, this division is not obvious, and the conditions for evolution are even more vague, and the huge span is even more daunting.
Byakugan - Samsaragan, too many gradual steps are omitted in between. When compared with the smooth evolution process of the Sharingan, it is obvious which one is better.
In fact, the ability of the Samsara Eye is comparable to that of the Rinnegan, but among the Hyuga clan, descendants of Ōtsutsuki Hamura, few can reach that level.
Hatake Akira also understood the reason, which was that none of Otsutsuki Hamura's descendants could reincarnate in the ninja world like Indra and Ashura with their own chakra.
While on the road, Hatake Akira thought a lot, and he felt more or less sorry for the Hyuga clan and sympathy for the Hyuga branch.
But these are other people's family affairs, and Hatake Akira can only think about it, it is impossible for him to interfere.
Now, there are five people that Akira Hatake needs to assist, and his free time is already fully scheduled. Unless Akira Hatake himself wants to work himself to death, he will never provoke the Hyuga clan.
"We have discovered the Kumogakure ninja squadron escorting the Daimyo of Yu-no-Kuni!"
With the help of the Hyuga clan's Byakugan, and with Hatake Akira temporarily allowing the Hyuga Hizashi to break the restrictions of the bird in the cage, the four-man team led by Namikaze Minato safely passed through the layers of defenses of the Hidden Cloud Village ninja troops, and successfully caught up with the Daimyo of the Land of Hot Springs who was about to be taken to the Land of Lightning.
