Traveling through Naruto with Heroes of Might and Magic.

Qingwu's heart stirred, recalling another characteristic of unicorns: their attacks have a chance to blind their targets.

This characteristic, which is considered a "divine skill" in the game, has been proven true for the first time in the ninja world.

Just now, Troy used his lightning clones to dodge the unicorn's attack.

However, the chakra contained within the lightning clone was still his own, and the blindness trait was triggered, directly destroying Troy's vision.

"So that's how it is."

With the outcome decided, the unicorn instantly sensed Troy's location. With a flick of its massive head, the unicorn stabbed fiercely at the blind Troy.

Just as Troy was about to be pierced through by the giant horn...

A figure in blue swept in from the side, striking the unicorn with a palm strike imbued with a gentle force. Then, using the momentum, the figure flipped backward, landing steadily with Troy beneath the tree.

Troy was still covering his eyes and howling, his whole body trembling like a leaf.

"Lord Qingwu, please stop!"

A calm voice rang out.

Qingwu looked up and saw that the person was wearing the Hyuga clan's standard kimono, with a white ribbon around his forehead.

"Hinata...Hizashi!"

The newcomer, Qingwu, was no stranger to the man; he was the younger brother of the Hyuga clan patriarch and the father of Hyuga Neji, one of the twelve main characters in the original story.

"Lord Qingwu, they are members of the Cloud Hidden Envoy, they cannot be killed!"

Hyuga Hizashi reached out to stop Qingwu from continuing his attack, his Byakugan eyes fixed on Qingwu, his voice carrying a hint of urgency yet remaining polite.

"hold head high--!!"

The unicorn, having failed in its attack, raised its head and roared in dissatisfaction, as if to continue its attack on Troy, with the newly appeared Hyuga Hizashi also becoming its target.

Hyuga Hizashi, standing in front of Troy, felt a sudden tightness in his chest.

Qingwu slightly raised his hand, and the unicorn immediately restrained its ferocity, its body quickly shrinking back to its normal size before slowly retreating to Tianzang's side.

Little Naruto giggled, struggling to break free from Tenzo's embrace and climb onto the unicorn's back, clutching its mane tightly.

Hyuga Hizashi breathed a sigh of relief. Being targeted by the unicorn had given him the feeling of being targeted by a tailed beast, which was terrifying.

At this moment, Hinata, whom Tenzo was holding, trembled her eyelashes and slowly opened her eyes.

Hinata's vision was still a little blurry.

However, the first thing she saw was Naruto playing around on the unicorn's back.

That crisp laughter was so infectious that it instantly dispelled the fear in her heart.

Hinata's eyebrows unconsciously curved slightly.

Qingwu was unaware that the "Crown Prince" and "Crown Princess" had already met for the first time in this manner.

At this moment, he looked at Hyuga Hizashi and frowned, saying, "The Cloud Village delegation? But I've already killed them."

Hyuga Hizashi looked at the corpses of the one-armed Cloud Ninja and the bald-headed Dun, his expression heavy with grief, unsure of what to say.

He was the first to discover Hinata's disappearance, and then tracked her down.

However, when he discovered that it was Kumogakure who had kidnapped Hinata, he, being from a prominent family, immediately sensed that something was wrong.

At the crucial moment of peace talks,

If the Kumogakure delegation dies in Konoha, it will be no small matter.

Even if they kidnapped Hinata Hyuga first, the Cloud Village will definitely seize on it and make a big fuss about it.

At that time, due to pressure from Iwagakure, if the village doesn't want the negotiations to break down, it will definitely have to make huge sacrifices...

Chapter 188 Hyuga Hizashi

"Lord Qingwu!"

Hyuga Hizashi suppressed his anxiety and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for saving Hinata in time. I will take these two bodies with me."

"!!" Qingwu was stunned for a moment and then realized that Rishima probably meant that he should take the blame for him.

Good guy,

So Neji's father was always so self-sacrificing? No wonder he was willing to commit suicide to quell the conflict between the village and Kumogakure in the original story.

Qingwu revealed a slight smile.

He was both grateful to Hyuga Hizashi for wanting to take the blame for him, and found it very funny that Hyuga Hizashi, a middle-aged man, kept calling him "Lord Seigo".

The Hyuga family... are really old-fashioned.

“Just call me by my name,” Qingwu said calmly. “I killed the person, so I will take responsibility for it myself. Senior Richa doesn’t need to do that.”

Hyuga Hizashi's expression tightened, and he said urgently:

"Lord Qingwu, the negotiations between Konoha and Kumogakure are at a critical juncture. If they seize any leverage against us, they will not let this go easily."

"Hehehe, hahaha..." Just then, Troy, who had been howling for a while, lowered his hands from his eyes and laughed, "It's healed! My eyes are healed!"

Qingwu looked over and saw that the unicorn's attack chance to blind "trait" did not cause permanent blindness; it seemed that the effect had expired.

"You brat from Konoha," Troy glared at Qingwu and said fiercely.

"You dared to kill members of my Cloud Village delegation! If the peace talks break down, it will all be your fault, you ignorant brat!"

Hyuga Hizashi was startled and suddenly struck out with a palm strike at Troy behind him.

This scene caught Qingwu off guard, and even Troy was caught off guard—just moments ago, Hyuga Hizashi had been insisting that the bigger picture was at stake…

"Uh-"

The Gentle Fist Chakra shattered Troy's heart meridian, leaving him caught off guard.

Seeing the Cloud Ninja Troy fall, Hyuga Hizashi turned around and said sincerely:

"In the end, it was all to save the young lady of my Hyuga clan. Now that things have come to this, the Hyuga clan shall bear the blame."

He had been a bit flustered just now, and he hadn't expected the surviving Yunyin to be so "unreasonable".

Qingwu paused for two seconds to mourn for Troy, who had just been shouting, then looked up and said:

“Rushing into Konoha and kidnapping children, it would be too lenient for them to die. Besides, Konoha’s peace has never been bought with the sacrifice of others.”

Qingwu's words were loaded with meaning.

Hyuga Hizashi's Adam's apple bobbed, and he was momentarily speechless.

Qingwu waved his hand, "I killed them all. Senior Hizashi, you should take your young lady away quickly."

Since I'm going to the border of Kumogakure anyway, I guess I might as well have more debts to carry.

As for the peace talks with Kumogakure being disrupted, tch... If Kumogakure were truly sincere about peace talks, would they have taken the opportunity to plunder Konoha's Byakugan bloodline limit?

They're clearly taking advantage of Konoha's more difficult situation to act like thieves who profit from the chaos!

"Uncle~~"

While Richa was still in a daze, the little girl in Tenzo's arms called out softly, her little hands gently tugging at Tenzo's sleeve, her eyes still showing lingering fear.

Hizashi snapped out of his daze and stepped forward to take the girl from him. "Hinata, don't be afraid."

Hinata felt safe and curiously peeked out to examine the person who had saved her.

Seeing this, Qingwu gave the little girl a gentle smile.

"!!" Hinata, like a startled fawn, shrank back into her seat, her ears turning a deep red as if they were about to bleed.

Little Naruto, riding on the unicorn's back, laughed heartily, "She blushed, so cute, and so timid too, hahaha."

Upon hearing this, Hinata lowered her head even further, not daring to raise it.

Hizashi sighed inwardly. How could this child compare to his own son? It was a pity that Neji was born into the branch family and had already been marked as a "caged bird" this year.

In a daze, I heard Qingwu's voice: "Let's go quickly, or we won't be able to explain if the Dark Guard comes."

Hijiri bowed deeply, his tone extremely solemn: "I will escort the young lady back now, and then turn myself in to the Anbu."

"!!" Qingwu was shocked.

Are you fucking deaf? Are you going to take the blame for me?

Qingwu's lips twitched, and he almost couldn't resist the urge to crack open this guy's head to see if the Hyuga clan's brain structure was different from that of ordinary people.

"Wait, that's not what I meant..." Qingwu tried to explain.

But Hizashi had already picked up Hinata, scanned the surroundings with his Byakugan, and disappeared into the forest in a few leaps, so fast that he didn't give Qingwu a chance to speak.

"..." Qingwu took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to complain.

Naruto blinked on the unicorn's back, glancing in the direction where Hizashi and Hinata had disappeared. "Brother Qingwu, that uncle looks really nervous."

Qingwu looked at him, "Naruto, aren't you afraid?"

He was referring to the three corpses on the ground, but surprisingly, the three-year-old Naruto wasn't flustered at all.

"I?"

Naruto jumped off the unicorn's back, ran to the corpse, squatted down, and took a closer look.

Tianzang and Qingwu exchanged a glance, wondering what the little guy was up to.

"Wow! He's dead!" Little Naruto even reached out his little hand and curiously poked Troy's corpse, then stood up and said:

"Brother Qingwu, Brother Tianzang, bad people deserve to die, right?"

Qingwu was slightly taken aback.

Naruto continued, "They were bad people, bad people who kidnapped children. They were killed by Brother Qingwu. What do I have to be afraid of?"

Qingwu smiled and said, "Yes, why should good people be afraid of bad people?"

Perhaps some people are born extraordinary.

"Oh—" Naruto drawled out his words as if suddenly realizing something.

"Kakashi told me that I want to become a great ninja in the future. I won't kill people, but I also can't be killed by bad people, right?"

Naruto's innocent words touched Tenzo, who stepped forward, patted Naruto's hair, and said with certainty, "That's right."
