Naruto: A bird in a cage can't trap me Fenghou Qimen

Chapter 45: The Chunin Exam is Coming
The land of fire, Konoha.

Team 7, who had just returned from a mission, encountered a group of three strange people wearing Sand Village forehead protectors.

The red-haired boy with the word "love" tattooed on his left eye was carrying an hourglass gourd on his back and was pinching Konohamaru with one hand, violently pressing it against a telephone pole.

Seeing his younger brother being beaten, Uzumaki Naruto didn't think twice, rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward.

As a result, before he even touched the other person, he was firmly bound to the spot by unknown puppet strings.

"Damn it, what the hell is this thing!" Naruto was furious.

call out.

A stone flew out at high speed, accurately severing the connection between the puppet string and its operator Kanjiro.

Under a tree trunk not far away, Uchiha Sasuke, the only remaining boy of the Uchiha clan, came to the rescue.

Before Sakura, with her heart-like eyes under the tree, started licking, Sasuke's pupils suddenly shrank and he slowly looked behind him, as if sensing some danger.

I saw a black shadow hanging upside down on the tree, and Gaara, who was standing on the street just now, appeared quietly like a ghost!
……

At the same time, the Hokage Building.

Many Chunin and Jonin including Hatake Kakashi, Kurenai Yuhi, Sarutobi Asuma, Iruka, etc. gathered.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, wearing a Hokage robe and a Hokage hat, sat in the main seat, biting an old-fashioned pipe with patina in his mouth and gently exhaling a smoke ring.

"Well, let's talk about the candidates for the Chunin Exam in seven days." Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Kakashi took the lead and recommended Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura.

His proposal was immediately questioned by Iruka, who felt that Naruto and his companions had just become Genin not long ago, and that their lives might be in danger if they directly participated in the cruel Chunin Exam.

After all, this Chunin Exam is jointly organized by Konoha and Sunagakure, and many ninjas from other countries surrounding the two major countries are participating, so security is difficult to control.

Kakashi argued with reason and finally made an agreement with Iruka to conduct a "qualification test" on Naruto and the other two.

Yuhi Kurenai, who was also a jonin, thought about it and decided to recommend Team 8, which she led.

There was no problem with Kiba and Shino, but Hinata's recent condition made her very worried.

Since coming out of her self-isolated state, Hinata has become like a different person. She has been training like crazy, risking her life, and both her body and mind are in an extremely tense state!
"Hyuga Hinata? The incident some time ago dealt a severe blow to the entire Hyuga family. Are you sure there is no problem?" Sarutobi Hiruzen expressed the same concern.

Thinking of Hinata's extremely determined face, Yuhi Kurenai finally said solemnly: "I believe in the child's ability. This is also her own request."

"Is that so?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his hand to straighten the Hokage's hat, and looked at all the senior ninjas present. "The Hyuga clan is in a difficult situation right now. They are all villagers. During the Chunin Exam, we must try our best to ensure the safety of the younger generation."

"Understood, Sandaime-sama!" the ninjas responded in unison.

With the recommendations of other jonin, the list for the Chunin Exam was confirmed.

After the meeting, everyone dispersed.

On the way, Kai, dressed in youthful clothes, found Kakashi.

"Kakashi, have you heard that the little devil Fuki seems to have appeared in the Land of Demons?"

Kakashi slowly closed the "Baiyan Taoist Priest" in his hand that replaced the intimate paradise, and looked up at the vast cloudless sky.

"Even if they are from the Anbu, they don't have the authority to rashly intrude into a neutral country. That guy really knows how to choose a place."

Recalling the scene of Hinata Fuuki breaking through the Dog Earth Flow Wall that night, Kakashi shook his head speechlessly and sighed, "As the most dangerous S-rank rebel ninja, he has to set up a stall all the way to the Land of Demons."

"I really don't know what he is thinking..."

"Hahaha, that's how that guy always behaves." Kai struck a slightly shameful pose, his trademark teeth shining.

Obviously, he also knew about Feng Qi's deeds recorded in "The Taoist with White Eyes".

"It's a confusing style."

Kakashi put his hands in his pockets, thought for a few seconds, then laughed, "It's definitely his style."

For some reason, he always had a feeling that the next time he would meet his junior Hinata Fuuki was getting closer...
-
The Kingdom of Demons, located in the Miko Castle at the heart of the capital.

The bell rang, and Shion, who was lying on the big bed, suddenly opened her eyes. Her long hair was disheveled, and her face was covered with cold sweat, with fear and terror. She saw the death scene of Hinata Fuki exploding all over her body again, and the horrific scene of blood and flesh splattering everywhere lingered in her mind.

"I have already broken fate once."

Recalling the indifferent expression of the guy with pure white eyes when he said such words, Shion sighed heavily and raised his hands to cover his eyes.

"Will this prophecy really be broken..."

The gloomy-looking girl muttered to herself.

On the other side, there is a spacious and bright villa in the Witch City, and a small pavilion with exquisite workmanship.

The brewed aster flower tea creates tiny ripples, and the fragrance of tea fills the air, bringing a refreshing atmosphere.

Fengqi sat opposite the shrine maiden guard Zusui.

Ever since being marked with a "death prophecy" by Shion, Feng Qi, as an outsider, has been "invited" to temporarily live in the Miko City.

——The abilities and temperament displayed by Feng Qi are too special. No matter what, they must ensure that the prophecy can be accurately realized in order to ensure the safety of the witch's life!

Feng Qi, who had originally intended to contact the spirits of monsters, naturally did not refuse this unreasonable and tough measure. Instead, he settled down in the Witch City with peace of mind.

"I never thought you would be such a dangerous person, Mr. Hinata Fuuki."

With a serious look on her face, Zuho was the first to speak and break the silence.

Just now, Konoha of the Fire Country sent an urgent notice to the Demon Country, focusing on explaining the dangers of the "White-Eyed Taoist Priest" and hoping that they could cooperate in the capture.

The Demon Country, which attached great importance to the prophecy of the shrine maiden, naturally would not accept this proposal. They pretended to be stupid and perfunctory to the negotiation ninja sent by Konoha, claiming that they would inform them as soon as possible if they saw Hinata Fuki.

The Konoha Anbu, which had no authority to interfere in the internal affairs of the Demon Kingdom, could only retreat helplessly.

Although it is known as the strongest village in the ninja world, Konoha's external policy is not tough at all. It has been like this in the past, not to mention that the Hyuga clan, which now has powerful combat power, has suffered a heavy blow!
Therefore, Feng Qi had some free time and could calmly adjust his own state to avoid being harassed by waves of ninjas.

"Since you already know my true identity, you still dare to sit here and drink tea with me. You have quite a bit of courage."

Feng Qi picked up the aster flower tea and savored it carefully.

This scented tea, a specialty of the Land of Ghosts, was not overly strong in flavor, but had a light, refreshing fragrance that suited his taste quite well.

"Even if it costs my life, I must ensure the safety of the witch and the accuracy of the prophecy. This is my mission."

Compared to Feng Qi's indifference, Zusui's expression was much more serious. "Besides, I don't think you are that dangerous."

How could an S-rank rebel ninja sit quietly and drink tea and chat with me like this? !

"That's not necessarily true. If I go crazy, your entire country will be finished."

Feng Qi slowly put down the teacup and told the truth.

"At least you won't do that now, right?" Zuho replied.

A light breeze blew, lifting the fallen leaves in the courtyard.

The atmosphere fell silent again.

After pondering for a long time, Zuho couldn't help but asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Fengqi, do you really have a way to break the prophecy without hurting Lady Shion?"

If it were someone else, he would definitely not ask such an impossible question.

But the Hinata Fuuki in front of him was an exception.

In a fundamental sense, this young man who was able to kill the main Hyuga family of Konoha under the absolute suppression of a special curse seal had indeed broken the shackles of fate!

Hearing this, Feng Qi just smiled without further explanation.

The bell on Shion's body requires a human life as the price, so as to suppress the terrifying power in her body and prevent it from going out of control.

He already had a general idea of ​​a similar method, but he needed to come into contact with the ghost souls before he could accurately judge its feasibility.

Feng Qi stood up leisurely, with a smile on his face: "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed."

Under the confused gaze of Zuho, he turned and left, leaving behind a mysterious figure.
