Chapter 1068: , The Overbearing Ninja

Beside Jiraiya.

Orochimaru had already taken in all of Jiraiya's expressions.

To this, a strange look flashed in Orochimaru's dark, gloomy snake pupils.

"Give up, Jiraiya."

"She is destined to be the woman you can never have in your life."

Orochimaru really wanted to advise Jiraiya like this at this moment.

But the words reached his lips and were swallowed back.

Because until this moment, Jiraiya had only been suppressing this emotion in the bottom of his heart.

What did he have to say?

It can only be said that love arises from nowhere and runs deep.

One can only hope that Jiraiya will be able to keep this emotion restrained.

"890…"

Not long ago, Kumogakure and Iwagakure broke out into a fierce battle.

Although the main battlefield was located within the Land of the Moon.

But the Tian Zhiguo, adjacent to the Land of the Moon, was also affected to a certain extent.

Coupled with the influence of the Land of Rain actively declaring war on Konoha.

Within the Tian Zhiguo, which had been suppressed by Konoha for a long time, sparks of resistance actually broke out.

For a time, the Tian Zhiguo, which had been peaceful for a long time, also became somewhat turbulent.

But fortunately.

Due to Sarutobi Hiruzen's arrangements, those suppressing the rebellion in the small country were the Uchiha clan, Konoha's number one ninja clan, and the Hyuga clan, Konoha's number two ninja clan.

In the face of the powerful strength of the Uchiha and Hyuga, the rebellion was quickly quelled.

This also allowed the Tian Zhiguo to return to peace once again.

After quelling the rebellion, the Hyuga and Uchiha did not intend to stay in the Tian Zhiguo, but withdrew very quickly.

Leaving only a few ninja squads lurking on the border of the Tian Zhiguo to keep track of information about the Tian Zhiguo at all times.

Border of the Tian Zhiguo.

Several ninjas of the Hyuga clan were squatting boredly in front of a simple tree house.

"Captain, when do you think we can return to the village?"

A Hyuga ninja asked his captain.

They had been left in the Tian Zhiguo to execute guard duty for over a month.

During this period, the border of the Tian Zhiguo had been calm.

Even the war between Iwagakure and Kumogakure had ceased.

This Hyuga ninja didn't understand why they still had to continue guarding here.

"Don't talk nonsense, just execute the orders."

Hearing this, the Hyuga captain responded with a straight face.

Seeing the Hyuga captain refuse so sternly, this Hyuga ninja could only show a sheepish look.

Only he didn't know that from an angle he couldn't see, a hint of gloom also flashed in the Hyuga captain's eyes.

Clearly.

Those who could be left here to execute the guard mission would naturally not be core members of the Hyuga clan.

Therefore, these few were all ninjas of the Hyuga "Branch House."

To prevent the Branch House from threatening the status of the Main House, ninjas of the Hyuga Branch House were implanted with a seal called the "Caged Bird" from birth.

Just as the technique called "Caged Bird" describes.

Hyuga ninjas implanted with this technique are like birds locked in a cage, never able to obtain freedom.

Just like this group of Hyuga Branch House ninjas at this moment.

Within the clan, they could only be squeezed out by ninjas from the Main House.

They had even been left in this godforsaken place for a month, and were still in a state of being ignored.

Thinking of this, the Hyuga captain's heart became increasingly gloomy.

"Caw, caw."

Just then, in the forest in the distance, a harsh bird call suddenly sounded.

This movement naturally immediately attracted the attention of these few Hyuga ninjas.

"Alert!"

The Hyuga captain stood up immediately, looking toward the distance as he spoke.

"Swish!"

Almost instantly, extremely obvious veins appeared on both sides of his eyes.

In the face of the powerful visual ability provided by the Byakugan.

The Hyuga captain saw the scene in the distance of the forest without any effort.

The moment he saw the scene in the distance, the Hyuga captain gasped.

"Hiss!!!"

Because in his field of vision, he actually saw a dense army of ninjas!!!

And more importantly, these ninjas all wore Kumogakure forehead protectors on their foreheads.

Kumogakure had made a move!!!

The Hyuga captain reacted immediately.

"Could it be that Kumogakure intends to launch a retaliation against Iwagakure?"

"Or is it…"

Thinking of this, the Hyuga captain's heart trembled instantly.

Too busy to continue thinking, he immediately intended to issue the order to retreat.

But just then.

"Zzz…"

Accompanied by the sound of electricity.

A dark, burly shadow had already shrouded him within it.

The Hyuga captain's pupils contracted violently; he turned his head somewhat stiffly and saw a figure full of overbearing aura and pressure.

He had an extremely sharp gaze, a body as heavy as a brown bear, and long hair like steel needles on his shoulders.

He was—the Third Raikage!!!!

"Gulp."

The aura of death instantly shrouded the Hyuga captain.

Under the aura of the Third Raikage, if he wanted to, taking the life of this Hyuga ninja would be a mere effort.
