Chapter 180 Returning to the Clan (Please Subscribe)

"Big brother, someone is following us."

Although Toneri was young and had lived alone in the comfortable environment of the lunar underground world for many years, it was thought that the child would not be very vigilant. However, his behavior at this moment was beyond Shinichi Hyuga's expectations.

While the two of them were shopping, several tails appeared behind them without their knowledge, and now the shepherd had actually noticed them.

Shinichi glanced at Toneri with some surprise, a slight smile appearing on his face, and praised him:

"It's amazing that you were able to discover that, Sheren."

"Very good, you have the potential to become an excellent ninja."

Shinichi Hyuga never hesitated to praise the young Toneri. Children of this age need a lot of encouragement so that they can express their true nature.

All he needs to do is provide some guidance when necessary.

"Let's go, Herman."

"Since you'll be living in the ninja world in the future, I'll take this opportunity to give you a lesson in advance."

Shinichi Hyuga casually put his arm around Toneri's shoulder, completely ignoring the ninja following behind, and led Toneri towards a secluded area in the town.

A few minutes later, the two arrived at a small alley in the town, with high walls on both sides. In front of Shinichi and Toneri, another high wall blocked their way.

The alley is only two or three meters wide. Perhaps because there are high walls on three sides, sunlight cannot shine directly into the alley, making it appear somewhat dark.

Shinichi Hyuga led Toneri to the end of the alley. Seeing that there was no way forward, the two stopped and slowly turned around.

At that moment, four men emerged from the side of the alley entrance and blocked the alley's exit.

These people were dressed much like the ordinary residents of the city, wearing slightly rough-made jackets, and did not look like ninjas at all.

However, upon closer inspection, Shinichi could see that beneath their thick clothing were strong, muscular bodies. From the perspective of his Tenseigan, he could also see the ninja tools they were hiding.

These people... are ninjas in elaborate disguise.

"Who are you?"

Shinichi Hyuga's hands hung slightly at his sides, his body relaxed, appearing completely unguarded, and he simply asked the question with a calm expression.

He could recognize these people as disguised ninjas, but based on this information alone, Shinichi had no way of knowing their true identities.

The Land of Fire borders many countries, and this town is a hub for frequent exchanges between the Land of Fire and the neutral Land of Iron.

This also means that some external spies often use the Land of Iron as a route to disguise themselves and enter the Land of Fire, where they can hide in various towns and cities.

After waiting for several years, these disguised ninjas, having acquired relatively stable identities, would attempt to infiltrate Konoha to steal information about the village.

Every ninja village trains spies to steal information, but these people's main task is to gather intelligence and they will not easily expose themselves.

These ninjas who have taken the initiative to intercept Shinichi Hyuga have actually broken a taboo.

What could make them risk exposing their identities to seduce someone... was probably the eye rolls from Toneri and Shinichi.

Blood inheritance limit...

For these people, as long as they can seize the Byakugan bloodline limit, it doesn't matter if their identities are exposed. This achievement is far greater than continuing to infiltrate and gather intelligence!

The four men stared intently at Shinichi Hyuga. Perhaps it was because Shinichi was older than Toneri, or perhaps it was Shinichi's composure that made them feel uneasy.

In short, the four were far more wary of Shinichi than of Toneri.

Clearly, they had no intention of answering Shinichi Hyuga's question; in response, they simply silently drew their weapons.

"Won't you answer?"

The other party's silence was not unexpected by Shinichi. How could a well-trained ninja be foolish enough to reveal his intelligence?

Not everyone is like the protagonist of a shonen manga, who announces his name as soon as he encounters an enemy.

"Shhhhh-"

Several kunai flew swiftly towards Toneri, who was standing beside Shinichi Hyuga. These kunai were their answer to Shinichi's question. Their target was clear: seeing that Toneri was relatively young, they used this younger member of the Hyuga clan as their breakthrough point.

Seeing this, Shinichi Hyuga had no intention of helping Shigenobu. He flashed and appeared in front of Shigenobu. With a wave of his hand, a black Truth-Seeking Ball quickly condensed in Shinichi Hyuga's palm. Under Shinichi Hyuga's control, the Truth-Seeking Ball rapidly expanded and instantly transformed into a thin shield.

The kunai struck the Truth-Seeking Balls one after another. The hard steel blades snapped off the moment they touched the Truth-Seeking Balls and fell to the ground.

"?!"

Shinichi Hyuga's technique was something the enemy had never seen before. Seeing that their kunai were so easily blocked by the enemy, the men immediately changed their tactics.

The group of people were clearly from the same ninja village and should know each other well. When Shinichi Hyuga's Truth-Seeking Balls transformed back into spheres and floated on his shoulder, the four of them adjusted their positions and blocked the alley exit in a "口" (mouth) formation.

Two ninjas stood in front, weapons in hand, while two others stood behind. Under Shinichi's gaze, the ninjas in the back were rapidly forming hand seals, clearly preparing some kind of ninjutsu.

Shinichi Hyuga had no intention of getting entangled with these people. When they saw him and Toneri as their prey, the outcome was already sealed.

Although we don't know the specific identities of these people, in the ninja world, knowing the identity of the enemy is not important.

Ninjas living in the ninja world only need to understand one thing: any enemy who attempts to attack them should be eliminated!

Shinichi Hyuga appeared almost without warning among the four men, and the Truth-Seeking Ball floating on Shinichi's shoulder suddenly transformed into a "sea urchin." The Truth-Seeking Ball flew to the top of Shinichi's head and suddenly grew four sharp spikes, instantly piercing the enemy's vital points.

Heart, brain, liver, lungs.

The four people, who were in different positions, were fatally attacked almost at the same time. Two of them died on the spot, and the other fell to the side into a pool of blood, which quickly stained the ground red.

The man whose lung had been pierced lay on the ground, gasping for breath, his face filled with fear and pain. He clearly hadn't expected the enemy to be so powerful; the four of them were already in dire straits after just one exchange.

Despite having their livers and lungs pierced, the two men still had a chance to live. Realizing they were no match for the enemy, they dragged their heavy bodies and tried to escape.

Seeing this, Shinichi said to the attendant who was not far away:

"Master, kill these two."

I thought that young Toneri would feel burdened because he had never done anything like this before, but this is a path that every ninja must take.

Unlike Hinata and Hanabi, Toneri is exceptionally talented and possesses the aptitude to awaken the Tenseigan. He will undoubtedly become one of the Hyuga clan's most important fighting forces in resisting external enemies in the future. He absolutely cannot be raised into a soft-hearted person.

I genuinely thought that the person in question needed some time to process this and to mentally prepare themselves.

However, to his surprise, as soon as Shinichi gave the order, Shiren leaped up and struck one of the enemies who was trying to escape with a palm strike, hitting him squarely in the back. The enemy died instantly upon being hit.

After killing one person, the henchman did not slow down. He leaped forward and caught up with another person, killing him in the same way.

He killed two people without even a flicker of emotion on his face; it was swift and decisive.

"Well..."

Seeing that Shiren had killed two people so decisively without even showing any change in expression, Shinichi began to ponder.

He suddenly realized that his approach to training his students seemed to have gone astray.

This child... isn't the gentle type I expected; that gentleness only shows when facing me.

On the contrary, Sheren's personality is inherently cold, and killing people does not burden him at all.

Shinichi was initially worried that if Toneri was kind-hearted, he might not be able to adapt to the cruel environment of the ninja world.

However, now that he has seen through Toneri's true nature, Shinichi Hinata can't help but worry that he might be raising a ruthless killing machine.

Neither of these two extremes is what Zhenyi truly hopes to see.

Fortunately, there is still a chance to salvage the situation.

Seeing the enemy lying in a pool of blood, Shinichi hesitated briefly before beckoning to Toneri. As Toneri approached, Shinichi pointed to the corpse on the ground and said:

“Master She, our white eyes are a treasure coveted by many.”

"Be vigilant at all times when you are out and about."

"When dealing with enemies, you must use swift and decisive measures. Only in this way can you better protect yourself."

"do you understand?"

Although Toneri's personality is completely different when he treats his own people and others, Shinichi does not view him with prejudice because of this.

To survive in the ninja world, being a little cold-blooded towards outsiders might not be a bad thing.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, the young Toneri seemed to realize something was a little late. After hearing Shinichi's words, he subconsciously grabbed Shinichi's clothes and nodded heavily after finding some sense of security.

To be honest, when Shinichi ordered him to take action, Shiren didn't think much at all. He only knew that it was his elder brother's order, and subconsciously he directly killed the two enemies.

Only then did Sheren begin to feel a slight unease, as if he had just committed his first murder. However, this unease vanished without a trace with Shinichi's words.

enemy....

Shinichi's words completely relieved Sheren of his psychological burden. In his eyes, his brother's words and orders were absolute!

Even Toneri himself didn't know why he trusted Hinata Shinichi so unconditionally. Perhaps it was because of ancestral teachings? Or perhaps it was because Hinata Shinichi was the first man to enter his world and bring him a sense of security since his father's death.

Even Shinichi didn't expect that Toneri was rapidly developing into a "brother complex" person.

Dealing with these stalking ninjas was just a tiny, insignificant episode in the lives of Shinichi Hyuga and Toneri.

After wandering around the town for a long time, Toneri, who had lost interest, was taken to an inn by Shinichi to rest. Later that evening, Shinichi also took Toneri to experience the local cuisine.

After staying for one night, the two of them left the town quietly and headed towards their next destination.

...

The bodies of the four ninjas who died in the alley were recovered by an unknown force, and Shinichi paid them no further attention.
