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

Now, his Byakugan power has been enhanced, and he has also seen through the basic operating principles of Sage Mode from Jiraiya.

This can naturally be used to explore and deduce other techniques.

The Sage Art: Reverse Life is the first Sage Art that Feng Qi developed based on the Reverse Life Triple Technique and combined with Tsunade's Hundred Healings Technique!

That's why his Sage Mode is pure white, which is also the root cause of what he calls "not perfect".

—In terms of actual effect, this immortal technique currently only has a maximum effect of reversing life by about 1.5 levels.

"Reverse rebirth?!"

The two incredibly simple words caused Tsunade's pupils to widen instantly, her breathing to become rapid, and her turbulent chest to heave violently.

"That's right. It is immune to water and fire, impervious to swords and axes, untouched by evil spirits, free from all diseases, and can even regenerate severed limbs. Its appearance can also be fixed at the age of youth at will, achieving the immortality that Orochimaru has always dreamed of."

Feng Qi added, "This is the final form of this immortal technique."

"I want to learn this! You better perfect it right now, and then teach me step by step!"

Tsunade was so excited that she grabbed Feng Qi's robe from his chest and pulled him close to her face.

She had absolutely no interest in immortality, but the idea of ​​"eternal youth" was incredibly appealing to a woman who loved beauty!

"Ahem, don't worry, we've hit a bottleneck, so it won't be that fast yet."

Feng Qi was so overwhelmed by the sudden sense of oppression that he had some difficulty breathing.

Tsunade seemed to realize her lapse in composure and quickly loosened her grip on Fuuki's collar.

Remembering the place in Cloud Hidden Village that Feng Qi had mentioned earlier, a place where one could perfect immortal techniques, she was instantly filled with enthusiasm, her expression excited as she said:

"The construction of Daoyin Village is urgent and time is of the essence. Let's go to the Land of Lightning tomorrow to negotiate with the Raikage!"

Feng Qi didn't believe a word of this: "You just want me to perfect the Immortal Technique: Reversal of Life, right..."

"Aha, ahaha." Tsunade scratched her head and let out an awkward yet polite laugh.

"Let's wait a bit longer and deal with the Land of Wind, which is closer to us, first."

Feng Qi did not expose Tsunade's little scheme to her face.

Walking slowly to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Ghost Shadow office building, I looked out and saw the bright moonlight shining down, covering the brand-new village with a layer of radiant glow.

His gaze seemed to traverse a vast distance, landing on the distant Hidden Leaf Village.

Judging by the timeline, Orochimaru's three-year period for resurrection should be coming to an end soon.

So, will they stay firmly in Konoha, or will they choose to defect from Konoha in pursuit of greater power?

Hinata...

-

Konoha, formerly the home of the Hyuga clan.

Accompanied by shouts, the dull thuds of fists landing echoed from the training room late at night.

This is the battlefield where Hinata and Hikaru spar. Ever since the Hyuga clan incident, the two sisters have been training intensely every night to become stronger, until one of them is completely exhausted.

And this time, the first person to fall to the ground was still Hinata Hanabi.

Although she is still young, her talent far surpasses that of her older sister Hinata. However, the Hinata of today is no longer the soft, timid coward she was in the original story.

Her significant physical advantage allowed her to remain undefeated and successfully deflect every attack from Hanabi!

Once the commotion subsided, Hinata, exhausted and drenched in sweat, sat in the courtyard, staring blankly at the full moon in the night sky.

A deep darkness lingered in the depths of his pure white eyes, reflecting a profound sense of loneliness.

"Compared to yesterday, Hanabi took another blow, and she even managed to break through my defenses and strike my pressure points..."

Recalling the details of her sparring session with Hanabi, Hinata's disappointment deepened.

Leaving aside the insurmountable genius Neji, even Hanabi, who is several years younger than him, is almost catching up.

This caused Hinata great inner turmoil, and she began to hate her own mediocrity and incompetence.

This profound sense of powerlessness stemming from "talented bloodline" was exactly the same as when facing Gaara of Sunagakure during the last Konoha destruction plan.

The illusion techniques I learned from Kurenai-sensei are completely ineffective against enemies of that level, let alone be used to catch up with the even more powerful Fuuki-nii!

Speaking of which, her journey with genjutsu has been quite bumpy since the Chunin Exams began.

First, he was brutally defeated by Orochimaru in the Forest of Death, then he faced Neji with the Byakugan during the Chunin Exams, and then during the pursuit mission, he encountered Gaara, the Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast...

All the opponents I encountered were beings who could ignore the effects of illusions!

This led Hinata to have the illusion that the genjutsu had no effect at all.

It's understandable that she would have such thoughts, after all, the person she was determined to catch up with was Hyuga Kazeki, who had awakened a special Byakugan!

Thinking of the news that Feng Qige had appeared in the clan's territory and entered the forbidden area of ​​secret techniques, Hinata subconsciously clenched her fists, not even noticing the blood seeping from her fair skin.

That was the closest she ever got to meeting Feng Qi!

After a long while, Hinata finally loosened her fist and raised her arm to touch the Orochimaru curse mark on her neck.

Even now, she still remembers with perfect clarity the feeling that was beyond reason and far more powerful than anyone else's after triggering the curse mark!

If we could fully master that power, perhaps...

Hinata couldn't help but have this dangerous thought.

This is not the first time.

Suddenly, as if sensing some kind of danger, Hinata's nerves tensed up, veins bulged at the corners of her eyes, and she activated her Byakugan immediately!

Whizzing.

Just then, two kunai, reflecting the cold moonlight, came from afar and were aimed directly at her head!

Using her Byakugan's all-around perspective, Hinata quickly sidestepped and dodged the kunai.

At the same time, he focused his energy and spirit, stretched his arms forward, and assumed the starting stance of Hyuga Gentle Fist.

"Hehe, you actually dodged it. Looks like your reaction is pretty good."

A sinister laugh came from the dark corner, and four ninjas wearing Sound Ninja headbands and with huge ropes tied around their waists slowly appeared.

Kidomaru, Tayuya, Sakon and Ukon, Jirobo...

It was none other than the Sound Four under Orochimaru's command!

"You are the Sound Ninja who participated in the attack on Konoha?!"

Hinata recognized the other person's identity from the headband.

However, the Sound Four had no intention of answering. Kidomaru took the initiative and sprayed Hinata with extremely sticky spider silk.

Hinata glared at the spider silk, instantly realizing how difficult it was to entangle her, and quickly leaped backward to avoid it.

Before she could even get her footing, a dark shadow suddenly descended from above.

Sakon and Ukon moved with incredible speed, raising their feet and stomping heavily on Hinata.

Boom!

The kick shattered the hard wooden floor on the spot, and Hinata, the target of the attack, appeared beside him with her agile figure.

"Gentle Fist Technique, Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"

Faced with the sudden enemy, Hinata showed no mercy and used Gentle Fist to strike the opponent's vital pressure points with every blow!

Zuo Jin and You Jin hurriedly parried the attack, barely managing to withstand thirty-two blows.

Just as the most ferocious and rapid sixty-four palm strikes were about to hit his vital point, a strange flute melody suddenly rang out.

The flute music brought with it a misty, ethereal fog that coalesced into a hideous demon that swung its fist at Hinata's cheek.

Despite Hinata's quick reaction, forcefully changing her body angle by slamming her foot on the floor, she was still grazed on the shoulder by a huge fist. She was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the training room and sending splinters flying everywhere.

"Sister! What happened?!"

Hanabi, who was resting limply on the ground, was immediately startled. She wanted to stand up and help Hinata fight the enemy, but unfortunately, her chakra had been completely exhausted in the previous sparring session, and she had no way to support taijutsu.

hum!

Just as Hanabi was about to forcefully activate her Byakugan, a burly figure was faster than her, rushing to Hinata who was struggling to get up and delivering a powerful straight punch.

Boom!

The straight punch is incredibly powerful; the shockwave it generates alone knocks down many pieces of equipment in the training room, leaving the surrounding area in a mess.

"Sister!" Hanabi cried out in alarm.

When the smoke cleared, Hinata, who should have been severely injured, was not defeated.

On the contrary, she caught Jirobo's full-force attack with just one hand!

However, Hanabi did not breathe a sigh of relief; a hint of fear appeared on her young face.

Half of the older sister's body was covered with dense black lines, making her fair and clean profile appear sinister and terrifying.

That was Orochimaru's cursed seal, which the village's Jonin had mentioned and which could potentially threaten their lives!

"You're not the only one who possesses the power of the cursed seal, Hinata Hyuga."

Jirobo, whose attack was blocked, smiled slightly, and black cursed marks similar to Hinata's slowly appeared on his body. "Moreover, I am more skilled at wielding this power than you are!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Hinata felt the force of her opponent's fist erupt like a volcano.

She only lasted a few seconds before being swung away by this strange force, crashing through another wall of the training room and landing on the ground in the courtyard outside.

Having succeeded in his attack, Jirobo did not press his advantage. Instead, he followed the other three, who had also activated their cursed seal powers, and slowly walked up to Hinata, looking down at her from a superior position.

"To be honest, Lady Hinata, we have come here on Orochimaru's orders to bring you back to Otogakure in the Land of Rice Fields," Kidomaru said first.

"I believe you should have clearly felt the powerful amplification brought about by the curse mark."

"Staying in Konoha will make it impossible to catch up with Hyuga Fuuki. If I want to obtain a more advanced cursed seal form and become stronger, I must give up everything that is irrelevant."

After a brief pause, Tayuya continued in a deep voice, "These are Lord Orochimaru's exact words. He will be looking forward to and welcoming you in your new place."

"Think it over carefully. We'll be waiting for you in the woods outside the village until dawn."

Having said that, the Sound Four ignored Hinata, leaped high into the air, and disappeared into the vast night sky as black shadows.
