Naruto: The Caged Bird Cannot Confine Me - Feng Hou Qi Men

Seeing this, Feng Qi stopped pushing his Qi chakra and halted the expansion of the array.

Information on ninja battles is crucial, and he will definitely have to contact the Akatsuki organization again in the future. He's not stupid enough to expose his limits as soon as they meet.

The two sides looked at each other from a distance, both wary of each other's abilities.

"This guy is more troublesome than we thought. There's no need to fight to the death here. Should we retreat first?" Jue suggested in a deep voice.

On the tree, Obito stared indifferently at Feng Qi, who exuded a dangerous aura.

After a few seconds of contemplation, he nodded slightly, and a spatial vortex emanated from his single eye.

"I believe we will meet again, Hyuga Kazeki."

After leaving those words, Obito and Zetsu, who had disappeared into the tree trunk, vanished from the forest.

A few minutes later.

Feng Qi, who was standing quietly in place, used his Byakugan to sense his surroundings and confirmed that Obito and Zetsu had left.

He crossed his knees and sat cross-legged on the muddy ground, propping his cheek with one hand and letting his long hair fall loosely.

"All sorts of things are starting to happen one after another, it's really troublesome..."

There are currently two ways to increase the upper limit of Qi chakra.

Firstly, it enhances the intensity of one's gaze, allowing for better control over one's desires.

To achieve this, one must collect the pure Byakugan passed down through generations of the Hyuga clan and send it to the moon.

The former is protected by Konoha and needs to wait for the right opportunity.

—For example, the Chunin Exams jointly held by Konoha and Sunagakure.

Moreover, although Feng Qi's eye power improved after absorbing the Byakugan of Hyuga Hiashi and others, it did not achieve a qualitative leap.

The dosage is too small; it can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

The latter has the potential to break through to the Tenseigan, but the passage to the moon is quite hidden, and even if it is found, they are currently no match for the descendants of Otsutsuki Hamura.

That leaves only the second path: finding a way to bypass the influence of desires in cultivating Feng Hou Qi Men!

Thinking of this, Feng Qi closed his eyes slightly, and the Qimen formation diagram beneath him quietly activated.

The surrounding flowers, plants, and trees vanished like bubbles, replaced by a clear and bright void.

This is the "inner view" of Feng Hou Qi Men. As long as you pay an equivalent price, you can get the answers to the questions you want.

hum!

As soon as Feng Qi had a thought, a huge fireball comparable to the sun appeared, making his lonely figure look extremely small!

Chapter 28 Orochimaru

The Qimen Dunjia formation slowly collapsed, and a cool mountain breeze ruffled her long hair.

Lush greenery, birds flapping their wings, the surroundings once again present a scene of dense forest vegetation.

Feng Qi, who had just left the interior, was covered in sweat. Two lines of bloody tears slowly seeped from the depths of his white eyes. His chest was constricted, and he coughed up bright red blood with a "whoosh".

"The interior view is truly a double-edged sword; it almost caused our demise..."

Feng Qi's vision turned crimson as he felt the chaotic chakra within his body, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.

In the inner vision just now, he tried to touch the fireball, which was smaller than the one in Konoha, and almost got burned to ashes!

Suppressing his fear, Feng Qi slowly stood up and wiped the blood from his face and the corner of his mouth.

This kind of behavior, which is like trying to negotiate with a tiger for its skin, is extremely dangerous; a slight misstep could cost you your life.

Although he didn't get the exact answer he wanted, fortunately, at the moment he touched the fireball, Feng Qi captured a rather important key piece of information.

Auspicious location: West of the Land of Fire.

In addition to the attributes of the Eight Trigrams and the ability to control changes in time and space, Feng Hou Qi Men endows Feng Qi, as a sorcerer, with the ability to "seek good fortune and avoid misfortune".

It is precisely because of this ability that he can anticipate the Hyuga main family's plan to gouge out eyes and make full psychological preparations.

If he hadn't happened to run into Team 8 that day, Kurenai Yuhi wouldn't have asked for a fortune telling out of curiosity, and he wouldn't have given Hinata a reading.

Whether he can successfully defect from Konoha and stay in this quiet and peaceful forest is still an unknown variable.

I have to say, fate is wonderful.

Therefore, Feng Qi did not insist on obtaining detailed methods for controlling desires.

Being able to obtain an auspicious direction is already quite lucky; being greedy would be somewhat impolite.

—Whether it's being burned to ashes by the interior or being consumed by excessively inflated desires, it will kill you!

Perfect timing! The search process also allows me to take a look at this world filled with bonds and darkness.

As for what happens next, we'll take it one step at a time and let nature take its course.

Once a bird is freed from the cage, why would it worry about not being able to spread its wings and soar?

Thinking of this, Feng Qi reached out and patted the dirt and dust off his body, then vanished in a blur.

Before following the inner visions to head west, he decided to make a trip to the capital of the Bird Kingdom to get some money to buy a new outfit.

His pure white eyes and the caged bird mark on his forehead were too conspicuous, as if he had "I am Hyuga Fuuki, an S-rank rogue ninja of Konoha" written all over his face!

Therefore, in order to avoid being targeted again by troublesome bounty hunters or even by ninjas from the major nations who covet the Byakugan, it is still necessary to conceal this basic information.

Of course, the most important point is that after drinking tea and stretching his muscles, he confronted Obito for a short while.

His stomach was growling loudly with hunger...

Just as Feng Qi was setting off for the capital of the Bird Kingdom, in a distant region...

Country of Fields, Village of Sound.

In the dimly lit attic, candlelight flickered, illuminating various bottles and jars.

The nutrient solution inside is soaking various special animal carcasses, including some human tissue.

In the room, long black hair was draped over her shoulders, extending into the purple eyeshadow around her nose, and her cold, slender pupils blinked.

Orochimaru sat with his legs crossed on a black wooden chair, gazing at the photograph in his hand with great interest.

His handsome face was marked with a bright and striking blue caged bird imprint, and his white eyes were pure and clean.

That was the latest wanted poster for Hyuga Kazeki, a rogue ninja of the S rank released by the Land of Fire.

"Hyuga Fuuki, a member of the Hyuga clan who awakened a special Byakugan, single-handedly killed more than a dozen elite ninjas from the Hyuga main clan..."

A hoarse, deep voice slowly drifted from Orochimaru's mouth as he stared ambiguously at Feng Qi on the wanted poster.

Upon hearing this shocking news that reverberated throughout the ninja world, he was undoubtedly startled, even somewhat incredulous.

As a fellow ninja who defected from Konoha, he was well aware of the true nature of the Caged Bird Seal for the Hyuga branch family.

At the same time, they also had some understanding of the strength of Hyuga Hiashi and those clan elders. If they ganged up on them with all their might, even some Kage might not be able to escape unscathed.

However, even under such an "absolutely impossible" situation, Hyuga Fuuki still managed to do what no other member of the Hyuga branch family could do, breaking his own destiny!

"An awakened Byakugan with various strange abilities that has never appeared in any records,"

Orochimaru's eyes burned with curiosity. "He's truly mysterious, making one want to dig him up and study him!"

Despite Konoha's deliberate concealment, Hyuga Fuuki had already demonstrated some of the special Byakugan's abilities during the mission before severely damaging the Hyuga main family.

For Orochimaru, investigating such matters was not particularly difficult.

That's precisely why he's even more interested in "special white eyes".

It can unleash various ninjutsu without hand seals, its formation is different from the Hyuga Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Formation, it ignores elemental weaknesses, and...

Similar to the Wood Release technique of the First Hokage!

This alone made Orochimaru, who had been researching Hashirama's cells, incredibly excited, and every cell in his body trembled!

"I wonder which is stronger, the special Byakugan or the Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan?" Orochimaru's eyes gradually turned greedy.

As the two strongest and oldest clans in Konoha, both renowned for their ocular powers, Orochimaru naturally compared the Byakugan with the Mangekyou Sharingan.

This brought back very unpleasant memories for him: Itachi Uchiha's damned eyes!

Just then, the tightly closed door was slowly pushed open.

"Lord Orochimaru, all preparations for the surprise attack on Konoha have been completed. Now we just need to wait for the Chunin Exams."

The handsome young man, pale-faced and with a cold gaze, knelt on one knee before Orochimaru.

"Thank you for your hard work, Kimimaro."

Orochimaru glanced at the other person casually and folded the wanted poster in his hand.

His plan to destroy Konoha during the Chunin Exams was something he had planned long ago.

Now, while there's still time, before taking this action, there's one more thing he really wants to do.

"I'm investigating this person's whereabouts; I want to meet with him."

Orochimaru stuck out his thick, long tongue and licked it, then handed the Hyuga Kazeki wanted poster to Kimimaro.

"Yes!"

As a madman follower of Orochimaru, Kimimaro didn't ask any questions. Without thinking, he took the photo, responded, and turned to leave.

The room fell into a cold, dark gloom once again.

Orochimaru leaned back in his chair, looking at the research equipment in the room, a cold, insane, and chilling laugh slowly spreading across his face.

"Hehe, I really hope you can bring me enough surprises."

"Hyuga Kazeki..."

The second update will be later
