"Your daughter, you old boy, are you really willing to give up?"
Shikaku Nara's expression was speechless.
"But it seems to me that Yemu is not close to your daughter."
"On the contrary, it's the other two girls."
"Also, Hyuga Clan, it seems that they usually marry within the clan, right?"
Facing Shikaku Nara's inquiry, Inoichi Yamanaka looked embarrassed.
But he still waved his hand and said, "This matter should be decided by the young people themselves."
"Lord Hokage, why don't you announce it now?"
Tsunade thought for a while and nodded, "In this case, let Hyuga Hiashi come over. I believe their family will be very happy."
"Well, Hokage our family is also very happy." Inoichi Yamanaka raised his hand.
This made Tsunade helpless, "In this case, then you should also call Ino Yamanaka, call all those young people, and let's make a plan together."
Land of Rain, in the secret headquarters of Akatsuki.
The cold rain was like silk, hitting the thick stone wall, echoing with a low and dull sound.
In a dark meeting hall, Konan stood quietly in front of the window, paper flowers slowly stretched out on her fingertips, her brows slightly furrowed, and Jue slowly emerged from the ground behind her, her voice hoarse and cold.
"The intelligence has confirmed that Five Great Nations has reached an agreement and is preparing to launch Joint Extermination against us Akatsuki."
"The mobilization of the team and the deployment of troops have been confirmed through the secret lines of their countries. Although Konoha is still delaying, several other countries are already gathering."
"Humph." Konan turned his head and said coldly, "Are they finally unable to sit still?"
After the words fell, Tiandao·Pain slowly walked down from High Platform, and the purple Rinnegan faintly swept over the two of them, his expression calm to the point of being almost indifferent.
"When soldiers come, they will block it; when water comes, the earth will cover it."
Deva Path Pain's tone was neither urgent nor slow, as if this upcoming war was just a footnote in time.
"The more they deny it, the more it means our behavior is correct."
"Before we can reshape the Shinobi World order, they - the guardians of the old order - must be crushed."
Konan frowned. "But some of our members are still out on missions, and some have no news."
Black Zetsu also nodded. "Kakuzu, Hidan, Deidara, Scorpion, Kisame Hoshigaki and Uchiha Itachi have not returned to the team."
Pain's eyes were cold and fixed on the ground like nails, "Then let them come back first."
He slowly raised a hand, pointing Hand Seals, and black Chakra signals spread out like ripples, reaching the rings carried by Akatsuki members.
"The war is about to begin." Pain murmured in a low voice, "Return quickly."
Black Zetsu There was a trace of deep meaning in his eyes, and they sank to the ground silently.
Konan's paper flowers bloomed silently, and she whispered:
"Since it is a war, let me fold the first bouquet of sacrificial flowers for this world."
At the same time.
Main Family station of the Hyuga Clan.
Yemu was walking on the way home, his steps a little heavy.
Five Kage Summit Although it is over, the aftermath is not over.
Hinata's always downcast eyes still made Yemu feel an invisible pressure.
Yemu To be honest, I really didn't expect that Hinata, who was originally gentle to everyone, would become like this.
He sighed softly and opened the door of his mansion.
The door clicked softly, but there was no response.
It was unusually quiet inside the house.
Yemu frowned slightly, but suddenly heard--
"Ka... ka ka... ka..."
It was an extremely weird sound.
It was like the sound of a knife blade constantly cutting on a chopping board, with an odd rhythm and mechanical frequency, echoing repeatedly like some kind of obsession.
Kitchen?
Yemu paused in his steps, a hint of uneasiness rising in his heart.
He followed the sound and approached the kitchen step by step. The wooden floor under his feet made a muffled sound every time he took a step, as if in response to the growing uneasiness in his heart.
He walked to the kitchen door, and the moment he raised his eyes, his pupils shrank suddenly -
I saw Hinata Hyuga standing in the middle of the kitchen, wearing white home clothes, with long hair hanging down casually, but her cheeks were pale and her eyes were empty.
She held up a sharp kitchen knife in both hands, cutting the air in front of her mechanically and slowly.
That's right, it's air.
There was nothing on the chopping board, but she seemed to be immersed in some kind of hallucination, repeating the action of cutting vegetables over and over again. The "click" sound of the kitchen knife cutting through the air was like a sharp scratch on Yemu's nerves.
There was a faint smile hanging on the corner of her mouth, her lips were chapped, but the morbid calmness on her face made the entire kitchen atmosphere seem to freeze.
"Ye...Yemu..."
Hinata noticed the footsteps and slowly raised his head.
At that moment, Yemu almost felt that his whole body froze.
The look in her eyes was not one of surprise, but one of irrational obsession.
The reflection of Yemu was reflected in the deep pupils, but with a hunger that seemed to be staring at prey.
"You're back..."
"Are you going to... eat me?"
A chilling smile appeared on her face, and the kitchen knife in her right hand suddenly reversed, and the blade was aimed at her wrist.
Is this Brother Cheng's route??
Yemu shook his head, this is not good.
"If you want to eat me... I'll get ready right away..."
"I can cut myself up into pieces and put them in your favorite bowl."
"Don't you like beef slices the most? I can cut them even thinner than beef... want to try?"
Yemu's pupils shrank suddenly, and with a movement of his body, Body Flicker Technique came to her and snatched the kitchen knife from her hand.
"Hinata!"
Yemu shouted softly, with speechlessness in his voice.
"Are you crazy?"
"Crazy?" Hinata raised his head, tears sliding down his cheeks, but the smile on his face never changed.
"Then why... you only told Qingxue... but not me?"
"Do you know how dazzling it was when I saw her standing side by side with you in the Five Kage venue...?"
"I can't do anything... I don't even have the qualifications to stand next to you..."
Her voice grew quieter and quieter, until it was almost inaudible.
Yemu was silent for a while.
The kitchen fell into a dead silence, and even the sound of the pendulum on the wall seemed to disappear.
Okay, okay, one yandere is enough for Yemu, and now here comes another one.
In the future, underground Little Black Room and Qingxue will be able to have companions.
"You know, Yemu."
Hinata suddenly spoke again, his voice so ethereal that it seemed as if it was coming from a distant abyss.
"If it hadn't been for Qingxue... if she hadn't been a step earlier... I could have been that person."
"As long as you want me..."
"I can even give you my life."
She hugged Yemu suddenly, leaning against his arms like a puppet with its strings cut off.
"Please don't... abandon me again, okay?"
Yemu. didn't say anything, just patted her back gently, as if comforting, but also helpless.
He knew that this relationship... had crossed the line.
But a deeper storm may be yet to come.
Because outside the window behind him, a pair of scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan was watching all this coldly.
--That's Qingxue Uchiha.
There was a smile of unknown meaning on her lips, and she murmured in a low voice:
"It's getting more and more interesting, Yemu..."
