The leisurely life of the Hyuga main family

"Speaking of which, how strong is that newcomer again? I wonder if he'll drag Kakuzu down." Deidara teased with a wicked smile, thinking of the masked man who had joined not long ago.

"There shouldn't be a big problem, after all, we've got the leader's approval," Black Zetsu said absentmindedly.

"When will I be able to mentor a newcomer..." Deidara's voice lowered slightly as he spoke.

After capturing the Three-Tails, his partner Sasori was defeated by Konoha ninja who came to his aid while covering their retreat.

"That damn thick eyebrow, one day I'll make you pay!" Deidara said through gritted teeth.

"???" Black Zetsu looked at Deidara, who suddenly changed the subject, with a puzzled expression.

"That guy with the thick eyebrows is practicing the Eight Gates Formation; he's incredibly strong!" After thinking for a moment, Black Zetsu revealed Guy's strength: "If it's not necessary, it's best not to get into a conflict with that guy."

A former Konoha genin used the Eight Gates to wipe out the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. If the others hadn't run away quickly enough, they would probably have been wiped out.

Even Juzo Biwa, the true man who later joined their Akatsuki organization, was traumatized by the beating.

The man with the thick eyebrows was already an elite Jonin in his normal form. Once he opened the Eight Gates, without any life-saving ninjutsu, none of them could stand against him.

"Strong? How strong can he be?" Deidara scoffed. "That thick-browed guy is just a mere taijutsu ninja. I have plenty of ways to kill him. If he hadn't been a counter to Sasori, how could Sasori have possibly lost?!"

"In a head-on confrontation, he shouldn't be afraid of anyone in the organization!" Black Zetsu said calmly, "including the leader."

"That thick eyebrow is that strong?" Deidara was a little incredulous, after all, he was very effective against taijutsu-type ninjas.

"He! Is incredibly strong!" To avoid sending high-level combatants to their deaths, Black Zetsu still felt it necessary to share some information about the Eight Gates with him: "Once upon a time..."

On the other side~

Following clues left by her clansmen, the dragonfly tracked them all the way to the territory of the Land of Waterfalls.

After some searching, they finally found the Wind Demon Clan who had moved here.

"Y-you! Who are you?!" Looking at the aloof beauty floating in mid-air with four thin wings behind her, Sasa Mei felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy, staring at her with full vigilance.

This enemy is beautiful and looks delicate and frail. But there's a consensus in the ninja world that ninjas with the ability to fly are either extremely troublesome or extremely powerful.

"I am a shadow louse." The dragonfly's expression was calm, but with a hint of smugness.

"You're lying!" Although she was very young, her sharp eyes had already seen through everything, which was commonly known as "seeing through everything at a glance"!

This idiotic pretty girl, of all people to impersonate, why did she have to impersonate that ugliest, ugliest old man? She probably heard about Lord Shadow's power somewhere, so she stupidly ran over to impersonate him.

And! If you're going to dress up, at least make it look decent, wear a Konoha ninja headband on your forehead!

Such a foolish act is simply trampling on the intelligence of Lady Sasami.

"Take me to the clan's headquarters!" Dragonfly rolled her eyes, knowing that there was no point in talking to this stupid girl, so she might as well go to the clan's headquarters to find the clan elders.

"No...!" Sasami was just about to refuse when Dragonfly grabbed her by the back of the neck, sealing her fate.

"Come on, lead the way. I can find it myself, but it'll be too slow." With that, Dragonfly lifted Sasami up and flew away with her.

"Impossible!" Such a powerful enemy, who defeated her in a single exchange, made Sasami immediately raise her head. With an air of unyielding defiance, she said, "I will never lead the way for you. Kill me!"

"I am indeed a Shadow Fog, but before that, I had another name: Dragonfly." The helpless Dragonfly could only offer a brief explanation. If that still didn't work, then it would just be a matter of spending some time searching: "Do you know about the clan's secret technique, the Mayfly Ninja Art: Bubble? It was because I practiced that ninjutsu that I transformed into a Shadow Fog; this is my true form!"

"I don't know!" Still holding her head high, as a rookie genin, even though Sasami was also from the Fuma clan, how could she possibly have come into contact with such a 'top-level' secret technique when her strength was not up to par?

"..." Feeling like she was talking to a brick wall, the dragonfly remained silent for a moment, then gave up on explaining and began to take off to search for the new settlement of the Wind Demon Clan.

Since Sasami has already appeared, the Fuuma clan's base should be nearby. It will only take a little time from now on.

"Wasn't our family in the Land of Fields before? Why did we suddenly move to the Land of Waterfalls?" Dragonfly asked casually as she searched.

"No comment!"

"…………" For a moment, Dragonfly had the urge to strangle this idiot Sasami.

Fortunately, it wasn't long before the dragonfly found its clan's settlement, but what it saw was a large number of its clansmen who had died or been injured.

Two figures dressed in black robes with red clouds, one of whom was carrying two corpses, were none other than Jonin of the Fuma clan.

"Damn it!" Sasami cursed angrily as soon as she saw one of the corpses.

"Senior Kakuzu, these two shouldn't have any bounties, right? We shouldn't need to take action, right?" Tu Zi shrugged, feeling quite helpless having such a teammate.

"Their killing intent is practically overflowing. Although there's no bounty, we definitely need a battle that's a loss for them," Kakuzu said nonchalantly.

The mission is complete, shouldn't we let him earn a little travel money? The bounty for a Jonin of the Fuma clan is worth five million.

He wasn't about to hand over this corpse to an enemy he wanted to fight.

"Get away!" After releasing Sasami, Tonbo immediately attacked! She flashed in front of Kakuzu and released a chakra shock without saying a word.

However, these two were no pushovers. As the dragonfly teleported in front of them, the two quickly retreated to create distance.

boom!

The violent chakra surge immediately created a huge crater in the earth.

"Hey, hey, hey, no way! This guy's got some serious skills, Kakuzu-senpai!" Tu Zi, playing the idiot to himself, immediately started gesturing wildly, saying, "Such a powerful attack! If you get hit, you're definitely dead!"

"Hmph, then don't get hit!" With a cold snort, Kakuzu realized that the girl in front of him was difficult to deal with, and immediately began to form hand seals.

Two Earthly Grudges of the Wind and Fire attributes immediately appeared.

"Fire Release: Head Carving!"

"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"

The two ninjutsu complemented each other, with the wind fueling the fire, creating a massive fireball that hurtled towards the dragonfly.

"Chakra Impact! Chakra Impact! Chakra Impact!" Nowadays, Dragonfly doesn't have many fancy ninjutsu; she only has Body Flicker Technique and Chakra Impact.

A continuous barrage of chakra transformed him into a mobile artillery turret!
