Ch. 161Three Options
Su Ye and Hoshizuki Hyuga hid from two groups of fighting ninja after weighing their options, since Hoshizuki had no chakra and identifying themselves as Konoha ninja could put them at risk. As the approaching shinobi arrived, Su Ye warned Hoshizuki to stay still while they remained concealed.
- Hoshizuki Hyuga asked Su Ye what to do, and he laid out three options: fly over the ninja, identify themselves, or hide until the fighting ended.
- After Hoshizuki said she had no chakra, Su Ye chose hiding and explained that the ninja might attack strangers or target her Byakugan.
- Su Ye rubbed pungent herbs on himself and Hoshizuki to mask their scent, then pulled her into bushes and laid a false trail to misdirect the pursuers.
- Hoshizuki suggested taking out both groups, but Su Ye reminded her that she had no chakra and he was an ordinary civilian.
- As the ninja approached, Su Ye caught Hoshizuki's restless hand and told her to stay still.
