Konoha's Hextech Ninja

When they trained together, Karin and the others witnessed Shion summoning the Netherworld Legion with all her might.

Even with Karin Uzumaki's naturally enormous chakra reserves, she couldn't possibly withstand tens of thousands of immortal warriors.

"This girl, I considered her a friend!" Karin Uzumaki muttered under her breath, "but she couldn't resist and came to ambush us on the very first night!"

"Can you pinpoint the location?" Yakumo Kurama asked. "If the distance isn't too far, perhaps my illusion magic can..."

"Your illusion magic only has a maximum range of one kilometer. Beyond one kilometer, its power will be greatly reduced."

Hinata Hyuga fired an arrow, pinning an immortal warrior to the ground. Observing the distance with her Byakugan, she said, "Shion has been keeping a distance of more than two kilometers from us. Your genjutsu is useless. My lightning arrow, from this position, can be easily dodged."

The girls knew each other too well; they were all aware of each other's strengths and weaknesses.

Since Shion was going to attack them, she certainly wouldn't give them a chance to fight back.

“Two kilometers…” Yakumo Kurama lay on Karin Uzumaki’s back, a look of resentment on his face: “At this distance, my five senses cannot control her.”

"Wait!" Karin Uzumaki suddenly sensed something and looked into the distance.

'Ziyuan' emerged from the woods and walked towards the group.

Kurama Yakumo picked up his paintbrush and sketchbook, ready to begin, but was stopped by Hyuga Hinata: "This is a clone, don't waste your chakra."

Hinata Hyuga's Byakugan was fixed on Shion's location, and she witnessed Shion create a clone and send it over, while her original body remained in place.

Moreover, this clone is not a powerful shadow clone, but an ordinary clone with no combat ability whatsoever, which can only be used to confuse the enemy.

Because of this, Hinata Hyuga was able to use her Byakugan to confirm that it was a clone rather than the real body.

If it's a shadow clone, the Byakugan won't be able to detect it.

As Shion's clone approached, the Undead Warrior's offensive slowed slightly, merely suppressing the three women's positions to prevent them from escaping the encirclement.

“Let’s talk,” Ziyuan said. “I have no intention of being your enemy; I just want you to face reality.”

"I thought we were friends!" Karin Uzumaki punched an undead warrior away and angrily questioned Shion, "Don't you consider us friends?!"

"It is precisely because I consider you all as one of my own that I have come to talk to you."

Shion looked at Karin Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga and said, "I know you two want to be with Yoruichi, and I feel the same way. But only if you listen to me can this wish come true."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Karin Uzumaki immediately bristled, her red hair flying wildly without any wind: "How dare you make a move on Yoruichi! I will never let you get away with this!"

Hinata's gaze also turned somewhat unfriendly.

Having two 'rivals,' Kurenai Yuhi and Karin Uzumaki, made her very unhappy.

Now there's another Shion who looks exactly like her and is even stronger.

Hinata Hyuga's sense of crisis surged instantly.

"Yoruichi-nii won't belong to just one person."

Shion pointed to her eyes and said, "These eyes of mine can see the future. Only if you listen to me will we have a chance to stay by Yoruichi's side."

"What do you mean?" Karin Uzumaki was taken aback. "You mean, the three of us together? How can that be?!"

"Why not?" Shion retorted, "Daimyo and nobles have many wives and concubines, and they can do it, so why can't Yoruichi-nii? Do you think Yoruichi-nii is inferior to them?!"

The ninja world is very divided.

The vast majority of ninjas were monogamous.

For nobles, having multiple wives and concubines was the norm.

This also led to completely different ways of thinking among the individuals.

Karin Uzumaki, Hinata Hyuga, and others who received 'ninja'-style education from a young age instinctively believed that Yoruichi Yagami could only have one woman by his side.

Shion, who was nominally a priestess of the Land of Demons but actually the 'daimyo', never confined her thinking to the 'monogamy' model of ninjas.

"Or perhaps..." Shion looked at Karin Uzumaki and said in a deliberately sarcastic tone, "Are you trying to force Yoruichi to leave Kurenai-sensei? You know that Yoruichi won't be happy if you do that, right?"

Karin Uzumaki was indeed provoked by Shion and shouted, "I will never make Yoruichi sad!"

As she spoke, Karin Uzumaki blushed and said awkwardly, "As long as I can be with Yoruichi, I can accept it even if there are other people involved!"

"So let's cooperate." Shion pressed her advantage, urging, "You two will never succeed on your own. Only by listening to me can you both stay by Yoruichi's side!"

"Shion!" Hinata Hyuga sensed something was wrong and immediately exclaimed, "You mean you want us to follow your lead from now on?!"

Hearing Hinata's words, Karin Uzumaki also came to her senses, looked at Shion warily, and said, "Are you going to be the big boss and make us the small boss?!"

Shion: "..."

Is this the thought process of the Uzumaki clan?

Ziyuan remained silent for a moment.

"I can cooperate with you, but don't expect me to do whatever you say from now on!" Hinata Hyuga looked at Shion warily and said, "Just tell me everything you know, or I'll tell Yoruichi!"

Hinata Hyuga knew that she was no match for Shion at the moment.

Even if the three of them joined forces, it would be difficult to deal with Ziyuan's Netherworld Legion in this unrestricted environment.

But she knew very well who Shion feared most.

If you can't beat them, then go complain to their parents!

These words struck Ziyuan squarely at her weak point.

"I just can't do anything with you."

Ziyuan shook her head and said, "How about we make a bet? If I win, you'll listen to me. If I lose, you'll listen to me."

"How do we gamble?" Karin Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga remained wary, but their tone softened somewhat.

"You all know Yoruichi's plan. Coincidentally, there are two Jinchuriki participating in this Chunin Exams."

Shion said, "We will each be responsible for capturing one Jinchuriki. Whoever finishes first wins. The condition is that they must be captured alive. To be fair, you will choose first."

Although Yagami Yoruichi didn't deliberately tell the girls about some of her plans, she didn't hide them from them when discussing them with Orochimaru, Tsunade, and others.

They all knew a little bit about it, especially since after the Chunin Exams, Yoruichi Yagami planned to capture all the Jinchuriki.

They had already figured out the identities of the two Jinchuriki who were participating in the Chunin Exams during the previous exams.

"Hey, let's choose the One-Tailed Beast. It should be the weakest one," Karin Uzumaki suggested.

“But Sunagakure is one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages after all. Even without the Tailed Beasts, their strength is not bad. There are also puppeteers, which we have never fought and do not know their methods.” Hinata Hyuga analyzed for a while and said, “Compared to them, the team from a small shinobi village like Takigakure should be much weaker. I think capturing the Seven-Tails would be easier.”

Neither of them realized that, without their knowledge, they had already tacitly accepted Shion's proposal.

The power to speak is determined by a bet.

far away.

Shion's true form stood atop the treetop, gazing towards the direction of Karin Uzumaki, Hinata Hyuga, and Yakumo Kurama, her eyes flashing with countless images.

A peculiar power emanated from her body, quietly spreading and influencing everything around her.

After a while.

Karin Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga finally finished their discussion, looked up at Shion, and said, "We'll take care of the Seven-Tails, and you'll take care of the One-Tails."

"Whoever completes the arrest first wins!" Ziyuan looked up at the two women and said, "The loser must accept the consequences and follow the winner's instructions."

"If you lose, you have to tell us everything you know!" Hinata Hyuga hurriedly added, "You have to tell us how we can stay by Yoruichi's side!"

Shion looked at Hinata Hyuga, and after a moment of confrontation, nodded and said softly, "Okay."

"It's a deal." Karin Uzumaki, fearing Shion might turn back, quickly said, "If you break your promise, I will definitely speak ill of you to Yoruichi!"

"I understand," Ziyuan replied perfunctorily, her clone dissipating into countless points of light.

As Ziyuan's clone dissipated, the Netherworld Legion surrounding the forest also sank into the ground and disappeared.

"This guy!" Karin Uzumaki clenched her fist and slammed it against a nearby tree trunk.

The big tree collapsed with a loud crash.

Hinata Hyuga deactivated her Byakugan, put away her longbow, gathered the scattered arrows, and returned to Karin Uzumaki, saying, "I remember the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki is behind us. Let's set off early and take her out."

Kurama Yakumo climbed down from Uzumaki Karin's back and asked timidly, "Will Yoruichi-sensei be angry if we act secretly?"

"Anyway, Yoruichi-nii is going to capture the Jinchuriki. If anything happens, just betray Shion." Hinata clenched her fists tightly, looked into the distance, and said, "We can't let that guy win!"

"Let's set off tonight and take down our target as soon as possible!" Karin Uzumaki was also seething with anger, eager to vent it immediately. She clenched her fists and said, "I hope the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki is tough enough!"

Kurama Yakumo tried to persuade them to no avail, so he had no choice but to follow the two women back the way they came to find the Takigakure team.

Chapter 263 Jinchūriki: Why are you hitting me when you're all fighting over a girl?

In the morning, Yagami Yoruichi opened his eyes feeling refreshed.

But as soon as he woke up, he received a memory from his clone and learned some bad news.

While Yagami Yoruichi was holding Yuhi Kurenai and falling asleep, the team containing the One-Tailed and Seven-Tailed Jinchuriki was attacked and all members were captured alive.

The perpetrators were none other than four of Yagami Yoruichi's students.

Because Yagami Yoruichi's clone was watching closely, she quickly figured out what had happened.

Immediately, Yagami Yoruichi wore a strange expression.

"These guys are really messing around!" Yagami Yoruichi couldn't help but cover her face.

A few little girls got into a fight over a man and ended up capturing the spirit medium of another village?

If this gets out, Yagami Yoruichi will become famous in the ninja world.

It's not because of its strength that it became famous.

Instead, their scandalous affairs spread throughout the entire ninja world.

In any world, gossip and scandals spread very quickly, especially the scandals of 'big shots,' which can spread throughout the world in a very short time.

Yoruichi Yagami didn't want to become known to everyone in the ninja world because of this.

"Let the clone handle it as soon as possible."

"Honestly, they can't sit still for a moment."

Yagami Yoruichi cursed inwardly, but when he glanced at Kurenai Yuhi, who was still fast asleep beside him, a smile appeared on his face.
