Grant both our wishes at once?

Lying on the floor, Mabui stared coldly at Kanami without saying a word.

Even though she was under Kanami's control, she remained very calm and did not appear panicked.

"You should understand that the fact that my clone hasn't disappeared means that my main body is safe and sound."

"Let me think... the time you spent casting your Ninjutsu before must have been because you chose a super long distance from me. At the time, you didn't know I wasn't Hinata."

"So... you didn't teleport me to the Land of Lightning, did you? Or even to the Cloud Village?"

Upon hearing Kanami's words, Mabui's eyebrows twitched slightly.

'Has the Raikage taken him into custody, or is he currently fighting the Raikage in the village...?'

'No, it must be Raikage who captured him!'

A tremor ran through her heart. In the past, she would never have felt the slightest bit flustered in the face of the red-haired boy before her.

But now, she knows that the red-haired boy in front of her not only knows how to use long-distance teleportation Ninjutsu, but also possesses the Wood Release of the man known as the God of Shinobi.

She subconsciously thought of the scene where the Fourth Raikage, Ai, was killed by Kanami and slaughtered everyone in the village.

If such a thing were to actually happen, she felt that dying a thousand times wouldn't be enough.

'Impossible! Raikage is the strongest; he must have captured him!'

She bit her lip, trying her best to deny the images in her mind.

"Okay, I understand."

"Since you don't want to speak, then you don't need to."

Kanami said coldly.

Kanami clearly saw every subtle expression and movement of Mabui.

Even if the other party doesn't say it, all her actions prove that his guess is at least 80% correct.

'Does he really know?'

A question popped into Mabui's mind.

Moreover, she had to react extremely quickly, as she couldn't discern from the boy's tone whether he was bluffing or genuinely wanted to kill her.

"Etc!"

In just half a second, Mabui broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly spoke.

She didn't know if Kanami really knew, but she couldn't gamble. The other party dared to kill even the Hokage Advisor; her own life didn't seem that important.

"I'm telling you, you were indeed teleported to Cloud Village by the Ninjutsu I used."

Kanami used his Wood Release technique to create a small stool, sat down, and looked at Mabui, saying, "Oh, but I already know that. Are you still of any use to me now?"

Mabui torn with inner turmoil.

She truly didn't know what use she could be to the other person.

She pursed her lips. "Can I trade myself for Samui's life?"

"Mmm!"

Samui was tied up nearby, heard this and made some stammering sounds.

"But judging from the noise, the other party doesn't seem to want to listen to your advice."

Kanami glanced at the large, muscular woman beside him and loosened some of her restraints, revealing her blonde, blue-eyed beauty so she could speak normally.

Samui had regained his ability to speak, said, "Mabui, no! How could you be so selfish as to trade your life for mine? Wouldn't I live with guilt for the rest of my life?"

Then she looked at Kanami and said earnestly, "I'll trade my life for hers."

"Samui, you..."

Samui interrupted, "Stop talking. You're better than me in every way. Raikage needs your assistance."

"Good."

Kanami nodded and stood up.

"You two seem to have a very deep friendship, so I'll grant both of your wishes."

Upon hearing this, Mabui and Samui were initially delighted, but then they were stunned.

'Can it satisfy both of us at the same time?'

The two looked puzzled.

Kanami placed his hands on the two of them, closed his eyes, and activated his Mind's Eye of the Kagura.

"Flying Thunder God Technique"

They were then teleported to the outskirts of Konoha Village, into a dense forest where almost no one would appear, even during the day.

"Why... did you bring us here?"

Kanami didn't speak; the only response they received was from the saplings sprouting from the ground.

"Wood Release: Tree Binding for Eternal Burial"

As the saplings with green buds twined around the Mabui and Samui, they quickly grew thicker and thicker, becoming sturdy trees in just a few seconds, sprouting lush green leaves.

A fleeting look of despair crossed their faces before they were completely enveloped by the trees.

Immediately, a large tree with a diameter of two meters appeared where the two of them were.

"If you two wish to redeem each other, then become trees together, so that you are in me and I am in you."

bass.

Feng An's Wood Clone disappeared from the spot.

Hyuga Residence.

Hinata Hyuga was standing in front of Hyuga Hiashi.

She looked at her father with unwavering eyes.

"Father, can you teach me again?"

After a moment 'Hyuga Hiashi asked, "You want to become stronger because of him, right?"

"Hmm... Kanami is very, very strong, but the stronger he is, the more worried I become. I'm afraid I'll become a burden to him. I also want to be like my father, able to face some difficulties together with Kanami..."

Hinata Hyuga didn't mince words and directly expressed her inner thoughts.

"Ahem," Hyuga Hiashi coughed somewhat awkwardly.

Only he himself knew that he was not capable of facing difficulties together with Kanami. In the crucial battle, he was even protected and teleported back home by the other party.

"That kid's level of excellence is beyond comparison with his peers..."

Hyuga Hiashi muttered to himself.

Hinata didn't hear clearly and asked softly, "Father, what did you just say?"

Hyuga Hiashi shook his head, a smile playing on his lips, "Girls grow up and leave home, huh? You actually want to become stronger for that brat. I thought you wanted to protect your father that way."

"Ah..."

Hinata Hyuga's face flushed red, and she waved her little hands rapidly. "When I become stronger, I can protect Kanami, and I can also protect Father..."

"Understood. Protect the brat, and while you're at it, save this old man."

Hinata hurriedly explained, "No, no..."

Hyuga Hiashi ruffled Hinata's hair and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, I know, I know."

On the other side, Kanami's true form was frantically throwing Kunai while simultaneously using the Flying Thunder God Technique in conjunction with the Body Flicker Technique to travel.

His fair face had long since turned ashen and dirty.

He only knew that Konoha Village was roughly located in the southwest of the Land of Lightning, and that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.

In order to return to Konoha as soon as possible, he never took detours along the way, crossing the border of the Land of Lightning and traversing a vast ocean.

Kanami had absolutely no idea how many times he had used the Flying Thunder God Technique.

He raced across two great countries, and even with the Uzumaki Bloodline and the powerful Chakra recovery speed of Hashirama Cells, he couldn't withstand such reckless spending.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally saw what appeared to be the border of the Land of Fire from a great distance.

"Damn it, I can finally see the border of the Land of Fire! Old Deng, wait for me, I'll be there soon..."
