I Love You, So I Must Push You Into Hell!

Recalling Hyuga Natsu, and remembering that Hyuga Natsu had the chance to stay with Hyuga Tetsu in the team and wait for his reinforcement, she instead followed Hyuga Genko.

Based on Hyuga Yu's understanding of Hyuga Natsu over the years, This girl is by no means a vase to be admired on a table; on the contrary, hidden beneath her innocent, doll-like face is a ninja who is almost too smart.

She must have a plan!

Even, looking back now, Hyuga Yu felt as if an invisible and slender hand had been pushing him forward throughout this entire incident.

Starting from failing to join the Main Family's guard team and being comforted by Hyuga Natsu, in order to get the order to leave the village early, Hyuga Yu had to take a risk and contact Root, and finally arrived here.

And now, for Hyuga Natsu, he had to dig out and bring back the Main Family's Byakugan.

Were these planned by Hyuga Natsu?

Where did she get so much information?

And for what reason did she force him to reach this point step by step?

However, As Hyuga Yu thought of this, he suddenly realized--

Hadn't he noticed?

From the first time Hyuga Natsu appeared before him and said, "I will protect you," he should have realized that the girl ninja who spent time with him never did anything meaningless.

From that sentence, Hyuga Yu should have been vigilant, But he wasn't.

Because everything that happened afterward were things Hyuga Yu had planned, imagined, investigated, confirmed, Things he longed for but never carried out.

Thirteen years...

From a child to a servant, from a servant to a cannon fodder Genin, from a cannon fodder Genin to a loser in the Chunin Exam.

A ninja career that was not long but filled with frustration had, inch by inch, worn away the light that once shone in Hyuga Yu's eyes.

He began to worry about gains and losses, stopped being reckless, and his plan to become a Chunin transformed from a legendary ninja biography that shook the world in his imagination to a plan to become a Medical Ninja in the safest camp and muddle through.

He began to cherish everything before him, But he became increasingly taciturn and melancholic.

Until, this moment--

The giant worm wriggling in his abdomen expelled life-threatening Chakra with a rhythmic beat!

His heart pounded violently as he ran at extreme speed, creating a blood-pumping excitement!

His feet leaped between tree branches hanging on the brink of life and death, the wind cut like a knife across his cheeks, sliding towards the hollow of his neck!

However, The hair on his body relaxed and rejoiced in this extreme environment, as if celebrating a new birth, or as if looking forward with hope towards an unknown but undoubtedly extremely magnificent future!

Hyuga Yu's calm and stern face suddenly trembled slightly, Finally, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile that was nervous, uneasy, yet vibrant and unrestrained.

He no longer thought about Hyuga Natsu's various actions, nor did he dwell on Hyuga Natsu's motives, Because when he realized this problem, from beneath this woven story, He saw a line of unspoken maiden's sweet nothings.

Now, all he wanted was to quickly end this ridiculous game of cat and mouse, then find that girl and give her a good rap on the head!

"So,"

"The opponents are the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?"

Hyuga Yu's smile quickly turned into another extremely ferocious one.

"Then let me show you what a--Konoha Genin--is!"

He slung his longbow across his back and waved his hand, taking out a scroll marked with "Medical" from his storage bag!

Unfurled, Summoned, Here it comes!

#

On the other side, 10 kilometers east of the nameless forest.

"Boom!"

Brilliant flames swirled high, and the surging airwaves swept away everything in sight, The trees rustled under the blast wave.

"Quick! Run!"

"With those two guys, Hiroya can't hold them off for too long!"

Hyuga Genko, clad in an expensive and exquisite combat suit, abruptly looked back, his heart pounding like a drum as he stared at the massive sounds of battle behind him. His face was deathly pale, unlike that of a living person.

He leaped rapidly between branches, his posture slightly awkward, indicating he wasn't very proficient at maneuvering through trees.

However, thanks to the mandatory training the Hyuga Clan imposed on Main Family members, Hyuga Genko's speed was not slow; he was even faster than Hyuga Natsu beside him.

At this moment, Hyuga Genko turned his head, his Byakugan trembling as he asked, "Natsu, are you sure your route is correct?"

Hyuga Natsu, her Byakugan showing bulging blood vessels, nodded. "It's correct, Young Master Genko. I observed the enemy's formation; we can only retreat to the left."

"That's good, that's good... huff..."

Hyuga Genko breathed a sigh of relief. Soon, he looked at Hyuga Natsu with a hint of emotion and said, "Natsu, I'm glad you're here... I mean, I'm glad you didn't stay there and followed me."

"When we return to Konoha, I will definitely thank you profusely!"

"Yes." Hyuga Natsu smiled and nodded at him. "Protecting you is my duty, you don't need to feel any pressure."

Hyuga Genko suddenly felt his mouth and throat dry.

He could tell from her words that Hyuga Natsu's attitude towards him wasn't as respectful as her words suggested. At the same time, he suspected that Hyuga Natsu had followed him more out of a desire to avoid punishment from the Main Family after the mission.

But now, Hyuga Natsu was the only one left by his side.

The rude Chunin woman with the dog had seized an opportunity to slip away the moment she realized something was wrong.

The guy controlling insects had no presence at all; he didn't know when he had disappeared.

In the end, the only person he could trust was a member of the Hyuga Branch Family, whom he viewed as a subordinate.

But even members of the Hyuga Branch Family were living, breathing people, and people had their own emotions.

In Konoha, these emotions, under the pressure of status, power, clan training, and the Caged Bird curse, would transform into reverence for the Main Family, gradually evolving into a twisted form of loyalty.

But at this critical juncture of life and death, Did she truly have any loyalty towards him?

Members of the Hyuga Main Family were also human, and perhaps they understood better than normal people what a dirty creature a human could be.

The education Hyuga Genko had received since childhood was to not be arrogant about his Main Family status, to understand the reasons behind it, and thereby master better ways to manipulate people and gather allies—

Building upon the natural reverence Branch Family ninjas had for the Main Family, instilled through clan training, Hyuga Genko would lower himself to interact with the Branch Family.

He would offer them benefits with money, encourage their progress with power, and bind them to his cause with beauty.

Finally, he would naturally gather a group of subordinates from the Branch Family who were loyal to him.

Hyuga Hideki, Hyuga Hiroya, and even the Jonin from the rear guard were talents cultivated by the previous generation of Main Family members using such methods.

Even without the Caged Bird curse, they would naturally be willing to die for the Main Family.

But now, Three loyal Jonin guards were dead, one was dying, and the whereabouts of another were unknown.

Hyuga Genko could only rely on the unfamiliar Hyuga Natsu.

He no longer had time to slowly train Hyuga Natsu, release "goodwill," create coincidences, and lead her step by step to become loyal to him.

However, at this moment, Hyuga Genko couldn't leave her side, and even with the "Caged Bird" curse, he feared she would abandon him now.

Thus, Thus, Hyuga Genko took a deep breath, his face contorted with pain and seriousness, and said to Hyuga Natsu beside him, "Natsu, when we return to the village, let's get married!"
