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

Chapter 62: The Fire Nation Envoy

"Guest?" Shion tilted her head in confusion.

This word is still relatively unfamiliar to her.

As the highest-ranking shrine maiden in the Land of Demons, the residents of the country obviously do not use this term.

As for the heads of the countries surrounding the Demon Country, because of the "death prophecy", they basically would not come to the Demon Country to find Shion unless there was something particularly important.

Death can be said to be the thing that those high-ranking people fear the most!
This is actually one of the reasons why the Ghost Country, which has low overall combat power, can remain a permanent neutral country.

"You'll know when you go back." Feng Qi patted the dust off his hands and looked down at the Witch City shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun at the foot of the mountain.

"Aren't you going back with me?" Shion caught the meaning of his words.

"Don't forget, I'm still a wanted S-rank rebel ninja." Feng Qi said in a deep voice, answering Shion's question affirmatively.

Not to mention that the guys who came to the Ghost Country this time were most likely coming for him!
"Oh." Shion looked a little disappointed.

Even though they had been together for a very short time, she had already developed a vague sense of dependence on Feng Qi, who had helped her break her fate for many years.

It was because of Feng Qi's appearance that she finally no longer had to worry about waking up from her sleep and seeing the bizarre deaths of people around her, nor did she have to endure the residents' fearful gazes that were as painful as sharp knives.

The life that I once dreamed of but was out of reach suddenly came to me miraculously, and all the darkness disappeared in the blink of an eye.

And it was like Hinata Fuuki descending from the sky, the light that dispelled the darkness!
In addition, Feng Qi also has a monster sealed inside his body that is one with her, which makes her feelings towards Feng Qi complex and subtle.

"Well, can I ask you a question first?" Ziyuan said suddenly.

Feng Qi's attention was mostly on the Konoha Anbu in the dark, so he said without thinking, "Tell me about it."

"Does that handmade bracelet have any special meaning? I see you wear it on your wrist all the time." Ziyuan raised her hand and pointed at the bracelet on Fengqi's wrist, which didn't look exquisite.

This thing seemed to have some special meaning, which made her quite concerned.

"Hmm? You mean this?"

Feng Qi shook the bracelet on his wrist, and the anxious-looking Ziyuan in front of him gradually overlapped with the shy and silly sister.

"This was given to me by my sister when she graduated from Ninja School." He sighed softly.

"I see, that's great!"

The tension on Shion's face instantly disappeared, and a bright, sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

If it’s my sister, then it’s okay, as long as it’s not a gift from my girlfriend!

She thought so in her heart.

"Why are you asking this question all of a sudden?"

Feng Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, and under the gaze of Bai Yan, he could see the changes in the girl's expression.

"No, I don't mean to ask if you have a girlfriend, I'm just curious!"

Shion waved her arms in panic, her thoughts racing faster than ever before, and hurriedly changed the subject, "It seems like you and your sister have a pretty good relationship, right?"

"I killed her father myself."

Feng Qi had a blank expression on his face, and the caged bird curse mark on his forehead looked extremely glaring under the setting sun.

Hearing this, Shion was stunned on the spot, standing there stupidly, and it was a bit difficult for her to wrap her mind around for a while: "You, you killed the father of your sister from the same family?! In other words, this sister is the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan of Konoha?"

"It seems that Zuho should have told you about my origins and the reason why I was labeled an S-rank traitor." Feng Qi nodded. This was a matter of course.

"You are definitely not the kind of cruel person who would kill the clan leader and elders innocently."

Ziyuan's eyes were very determined. She mustered up the courage to look Fengqi in the face. "Well, can you tell me about it?"

Because of the height difference, she needed to tilt her head back.

After taking a glance at the pair of lavender eyes that looked quite similar to the Byakugan, Feng Qi expanded his perception and spread it in all directions.

Perhaps because they are wary of Shion's identity as a priestess of the Land of Demons, the Anbu ninjas of Konoha in the dark show no signs of taking action for the time being.

After confirming this fact, he raised his finger and pointed at the curse mark on his forehead, explaining calmly: "This thing is called a bird in a cage. It is the fate I broke."

Seeing Shion frowning with a puzzled look, he briefly recounted his experiences and struggles in the Hyuga clan.

Until now, even Feng Qi himself still has lingering fears when recalling the crazy state filled with the thought of "transforming nothingness into king".

Even he was like this, not to mention Shion who was already suffering from the torture of fate.

"I didn't expect that in the Fire Country, Konoha Village, which is known as the most powerful ninja in the ninja world, there would be such a disgusting family. They arbitrarily control the lives of their fellow tribesmen and even call it protection. It's really dirty!"

After hearing the entire story of Fuuki's defection from Konoha, Shion felt the same way and clenched his fists with an expression of extreme anger.

If it was before she met Feng Qi, she might have treated him coldly and said something discouraging like "this is fate" because she had no resistance to fate at all.

But now, she has realized that so-called fate is just an excuse cowards make for themselves.

Before you die completely, no matter who you are, you have the right to pursue freedom!
"The strong prey on the weak, that's how the world of ninjas is. You never know when you'll be cursed like a bird in a cage, so it's not too late to regret and quit now." Feng Qi said in a deep voice.

"In that case, wouldn't that mean we have to compromise with fate?"

Shion smiled and answered, "I want to become stronger. This is my own choice!"

In order to keep up with you...

She didn't say the latter sentence after all.

"That's a good realization." Feng Qi gave his affirmation with a faint smile.

At this moment, a figure hurried over from the foot of the mountain.

Arriving in front of Shion, Zuho rested her hands on her knees, panting.

He looked at Feng Qi with a strange expression, and then said seriously: "Master Ziyuan, the envoys from the Fire Country came to visit suddenly. I have arranged for them to wait in the guest house."

"The messenger from the Fire Nation?"

Ziyuan frowned and turned to Fengqi and asked, "Is this the guest you just mentioned?"

Thanks to Konoha and the Hyuga clan, this priestess who holds the highest status in the Land of Demons now does not have such a good impression of the Land of Fire.

Or to be more precise, very bad.

"Probably. Most likely it's directed at me."

Feng Qi said frankly, "There's no need to hide my whereabouts from them, otherwise those guys won't let it go."
