Chapter 13 Paji~

Rustle rustle.

Under the faint illumination of the moonlight, a figure was leisurely walking in front, and another figure was chasing closely behind.

Even though he was being chased, the figure still sang softly, and the song kept echoing in Hizashi's ears.

cage mesh, cage mesh~

かごの中の鸟は~

いついつ出やる~

夜明けの晩に~

Crane and turtle no すべつた~

Who is behind the front?

"Who the hell is this guy?"

Hizashi's brows furrowed tightly. The singing made him more and more irritable, and the depression in his heart became more intense.

This is Hinata, this is Konoha.

Although most of the defensive forces are focused on the Kumogakure envoy and the Zong family's daughter, it is very unwise to take the initiative to sing and expose your position.

"And this guy has been stuck at the boundary of the Byakugan range. Is he trying to lead me somewhere?"

Wait! That’s not right!!

Hizashi suddenly stopped and realized something as if he was waking up from a dream.

"Unsolved!" The hand seals disrupted the flow of chakra in his body.

The song that had been echoing in my ears disappeared instantly, and the picture in front of me gradually distorted and changed.

The quaint yard, scattered wood chips, and Neji who passed out next to him.

It turned out that he had never left the courtyard from beginning to end, and had been wandering in hallucinations.

Hizashi's chest was heaving and he was breathing heavily, with a horrified expression: "Genjutsu? When?!"

After dispelling the illusion, he immediately discovered many errors in details.

"It's so obvious to lure you into a urn or to lure the tiger away from the mountain. How could I fall into the trap and even abandon Neji and pursue it alone?"

But he didn't realize it at all and followed the figure for five minutes!

If he hadn't accidentally discovered that the blind spot of Byakugan had disappeared, he wouldn't have known how long he would have been indulging in the hallucination!

Hizashi was filled with fear and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

But when I glanced out of the corner of my eye, I discovered a figure sitting there quietly in the corridor.

Hizashi subconsciously blocked Neji behind him, and at the same time wanted to send a signal for the enemy's invasion.

"The five minutes just now are enough for me to kill you countless times, and the moment you send the signal, it is also enough for me to slit your throat, pierce your heart, blow your head open, and kill the children behind you at the same time.

.”

A cold and cruel word, accompanied by violent and bloody murderous intent.

Hizashi couldn't help but froze, and the movements of his hands suddenly stopped.

This guy is serious and has the strength to do it...

Hizashi tensed up and slowly turned around to look at the figure.

The man's upper body was hidden in the shadows, and his figure and face could not be seen clearly, but he could faintly see the three-eyed fox mask on his face.

The clothes on his body are also very unfamiliar, and he is most likely not from Konoha.

Hizashi took the initiative and asked, "Is the illusion you used just now an auditory illusion?"

Genjutsu is a technique that uses chakra to interfere with the opponent's five senses, disrupt the opponent's chakra, and cause them to fall into hallucinations.

Visual genjutsu is the most common type of illusion, and the Uchiha clan is best at using visual genjutsu.

There are very few illusions that use the senses of hearing, smell, and touch.

Hizashi had only heard of it, and this was the first time he had seen an auditory illusion.

But the man didn't answer him, he just stretched out his hand to tease the bird in the birdcage, without even looking at him.

He said without any wavering in his tone: "I am going to say a few words now and then leave. You have to listen to a few words of mine and then go home to take care of your child."

"Every few years in the future, you will look at his face and be glad that you are still alive, glad that you chose to go to the light instead of death."

"Because you chose not to take a particular path on a particular night."

The masked man turned to look at Hizashi, his tone was extremely calm from beginning to end: "Do you understand what I said?"

Looking at the blue eyes as calm as dead water behind the mask, Hizashi couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

When did such a character appear in the ninja world? He didn't receive any news at all.

at this time.

The masked man suddenly said: "Your death is coming, but you don't know it."

"What do you mean?"

The masked man didn't care about his reaction and reached out to open the cage that imprisoned the bird.

But I don’t know if I have been locked up for too long and have forgotten how to fly.

The bird was indifferent to the vast sky outside, still pecking at the food in the cage.

Menma hummed the ballad softly again.

"Bamboo cage, bamboo cage eye~The little bird in the cage~When can it come out?"

"Dawn night~The crane and the turtle slipped~Who is the one behind?"

Hizashi, who had just been restrained by the illusion, subconsciously formed a seal when he heard the sound.

But the next second, his white eyes widened again.

"you!"

The figure originally sitting in the corridor disappeared in an instant, holding the hands he wanted to form a seal with.

The force obviously felt very light, but it left him completely unable to move.

"Isn't this nursery rhyme nice?"

Although he couldn't see his face under the mask, Hizashi always felt like this guy was smiling.

But he didn't find anything funny at all.

I just feel fear.

With this weird speed, if the masked man wanted to kill him, he could really cut off his head in an instant.

"I heard this nursery rhyme from an island where the children were playing a game."

The masked man said: "The ghost child squatted in the middle and covered his eyes. A group of children sang this nursery rhyme around the ghost. After singing, if the ghost child guesses who is facing him behind him..."

"That person will become the scapegoat instead of the caged bird."

The masked man's tone became meaningful: "The name of this nursery rhyme is called "Caged Bird"."

Through the faint moonlight, Hinata Hizashi could see clearly the dress of the man in front of him.

He wears a white three-eyed fox mask on his face, black fingerless sleeves, dark red straps on his arms and calves, and only his short and medium black hair is exposed.

The attire, voice, and figure are all very unfamiliar.

Hizashi said in a solemn tone: "Who are you, sir, and why are you here?"

"Although my clan members are all gathered in the ancestral hall now, as long as you send out a signal, even if you kill me, you will..."

"You can try."

The masked man directly interrupted his threat and said calmly: "Although this clone is very weak and cannot destroy Konoha, it can still destroy Hinata."

...Clone?

Hizashi was stunned for a moment, veins popped out around his eye sockets, and his face instantly showed a look of astonishment.

Can't you see through his white eyes?

However, this terrifying chakra...

"If it's really like what he said, then does a shadow clone have this kind of strength?"

Although chakra cannot completely represent strength, it can reflect strength to a certain extent.

And in his Byakugan sight, the chakra concentration in this guy's body is more dazzling and richer than that of the Third Hokage!

"I came here just to let the birds fly in the cage, but it seems like he doesn't want to leave."

The masked man stretched his palm into the cage, and the bird stood in his palm very obediently.

But once he tried to get the bird out of the cage, the bird began to struggle violently.

Looking at the bird that was constantly flapping its wings trying to escape from the palm of his hand, the masked man's eyes narrowed.

Bang!

"We will meet again soon."

Under Hinata Hizashi's horrified gaze, the masked man shook off the blood on his hands, said no more and turned to leave.
