The leisurely life of the Hyuga main family

"That's possible, but is the cost something you can decide?"

"I will do my best!" Maki's eyes were firm.

"Teacher!" Temari and Kankuro were deeply moved, and even Gaara looked up at Maki.

It turns out there are many people who care about me, I just never realized it...

The self-centered Asura was once again moved.

"Unfortunately, I'm not particularly interested in the Sand Village." After glancing at Temari for a moment, he then looked at Kankuro and Gaara: "Wait, there seems to be one I'm slightly interested in."

"Please speak!"

"I need your Sand Village's puppetry techniques data. I'm somewhat interested in puppetry. Can you produce it?"

"I'll figure something out!" Maki was a little embarrassed. The puppetry techniques of Sunagakure were a closely guarded secret.

Low-level puppetry techniques are one thing, but high-level puppetry scrolls are all held by Chiyo's lineage, and they are not easy to obtain!

"Teacher, no!" Kankuro immediately interjected, "How could you bring the Puppet Technique Scroll..."

"Shut up, kid. You're just an extra." Looking at Kankuro, who seemed a bit clueless, Hakugetsu bluntly said, "The valuable one is the Ichi-Tachi. You'll only get a stainless steel basin at most."

Bai Yue's words directly sank Kankuro, and also accidentally injured Temari.

The somewhat heavy atmosphere at the scene immediately eased, and the children almost burst out laughing.

"No, they are all very important to me!" Maki said immediately. Compared to the incompetent Fourth Kazekage, Maki was more like an old father to the three of them.

"Teacher..." The three Sand Ninja were deeply moved. Kankuro, in particular, almost burst into tears.

"Whatever makes you happy." Bai Yue glanced back at Maki, whose eyes were filled with determination, and her impression of him improved slightly. "Anyway, good luck."

"Teacher, is puppetry really that powerful?" Recalling the battle not long ago, where he had been dominating Kankuro, he would have defeated Kankuro long ago if it weren't for the poisonous stuff that had made him somewhat restrained: "That Kankuro was actually quite weak."

"…………" So annoying! If only I could beat them…………

"So-so. It depends on the person. Some puppeteers are alright, while others are not skilled enough." But Kankuro's words probably mean he hasn't matured yet.

Thinking about the later stages, I'll mess with his idol's whole family... Hmm... Kankuro, who controls "Sasori's Family Portrait," is so-so but not bad.

"…………" She was even angrier! But she couldn't beat this one either!

"What's there to study?" Kiba Inuzuka immediately retorted dismissively, clearly not understanding the full meaning of "not bad" from Shirotsuki.

"I'm just bored and want to find something to have fun with!" Shirozuki said with a touch of melancholy, rubbing Kiba's head. "I'm already tired of sealing techniques and ninjutsu."

Tired of playing?

What does that mean?

Is there any way to get tired of ninjutsu?

Bai Yue's casual remark immediately set the group in a state of mental turmoil. Even Maki, Temari, and the others were pondering the meaning of those words.

Unfortunately, they didn't dare to ask.

"Alright, this farce is almost over. Everyone go home." This so-called Konoha Crush plan came quickly and went even faster.

Despite facing various trials, including the heavy casualties among lower-level ninjas during the Third Shinobi World War, the loss of the Fourth Hokage and a fully-fledged Nine-Tails Jinchuriki during the Nine-Tails Night, and even the interference of the Ninja Village.

Even so, Konoha is by no means a place that can be easily defeated by the mere inexperienced Sand Village.

Even if we remove the bug that is White Moon, Konoha still has Guy, the strongest ninja in the current ninja world, hidden away!

"This is probably what you call an asymmetry of information, right? At first glance, Konoha seems to have weakened to the extreme, but in reality, the core strength of the major ninja clans has never truly been weakened. Although their high-end combat power is scattered, it is still Konoha's strength in the end..." Bai Yue, who was talking to himself with emotion, suddenly laughed out loud: "Poor Rasa, he really went crazy from panning for gold."

"..." Faced with Bai Yue's close-range attack, the three Sand Ninja could only remain silent.

Maki wanted to agree a little, but to do so at this point would be too hurtful to the feelings of his three disciples... and two of them.

"Speaking of which, why are you still following me?"

"I...we have nowhere to go..." Temari said weakly.

"How could you not have anywhere to go? Isn't the torture chamber quite nice?" He looked at Temari with a half-smile.

The torture chamber... what kind of good place is that!

Temari felt a chill run down her spine. Going to a place like that, she would be crippled even if she didn't die.

"Could you take us in for the time being?" Temari looked at Shirotsuki pitifully, almost pleading.

"Brother Baiyue is very busy, he doesn't have time..." Whether it's his status as the Fourth Kazekage's child or his status as the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, even if he's just a prisoner, he's still a hot potato, a very troublesome individual. To avoid causing trouble for his beloved Brother Baiyue, Neji was prepared to refuse!

"Okay, but you'd better behave."

"Big brother, they..."

"It's nothing, just a minor issue." With a hand on Neji's shoulder, Bai Yue said again, "Let's go home first. Today was quite fulfilling, we need to get some rest."

"This... is!" Neji hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded, and said to Maki and the others with a hint of annoyance, "You'd better not cause any trouble for Big Brother, or I'll just kill you all!"

"…………" How could I dare!

That smiling, big-eyed guy is terrifyingly strong, and you two little-eyed guys are also incredibly powerful. Even if we were at our peak, let alone half-crippled, we wouldn't dare to act recklessly...

"Neji, once you've settled them in, I'll head back to rest. Oh, and don't be like your brooding, long-faced Uncle Hiashi, always wearing that stern expression..." After saying that, Hakugetsu couldn't wait to go back and study the Shiki.

"…………" Two branch families passing by.

"..." After a moment of silence, Neji forced a 'smile' and then said, "You guys, come with me."

"…………" Could you please make your expression more natural? Your forced, stiff expression looks really creepy.

Besides, aren't you showing far too much respect to that wicked, super handsome guy?

Temari really wanted to complain, but she didn't dare. After all, Neji looked very serious, and he didn't seem to like them much.

If they get angry and embarrassed, they won't actually kill them, but they'll definitely get a beating.

Meanwhile, after returning to his residence, Bai Yue couldn't wait to open the Realm of Truth and Illusion, preparing to study the corpse demons he had captured.

"Lord Baiyue!" Although the Realm of Truth and Illusion is not large now, it still has quite a few people living there.

"Hmm..." Ignoring Sheren, Baiyue stared straight at the corpse demon who was bound hand and foot.
