the other side.

Ayane, who was walking back to the Hyuga clan, also had a frown on her face.

What's going on? Why didn't that Sharingan woman do anything to me?

Recalling the scene where she and she rubbed each other's backs in the hot spring pool, Ayane's frown deepened.

This is not normal.

Whether it was the relationship in the ninja school or the relationship between himself and the Sharingan woman after joining Sakumo's team, there had never been such intimacy.

What is she thinking?

Why didn't you take action at that time?

I was obviously ready to fight at that time, but...

For some reason, Ayane felt that the Sharingan woman was more difficult to deal with than before.

Not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of city government.

"Where have you been, Ayane?"

At the entrance of the road to the Hyuga clan's territory, a male ninja wearing the traditional costume of the Hyuga clan stood there, waiting for Ayane to return.

"Senior Dongjian, why are you here?"

Ayane was a little dissatisfied because her meditation was interrupted, but a gentle smile appeared on her face.

He also responded politely to the male jounin of the Hyuga clan in front of him, with impeccable and perfect etiquette. He was neither too close nor too distant, and had an attitude of aloofness.

It was precisely because of this feeling of uncertainty that Hinata Touma felt that no one in the Hyuga clan was more terrifying than the girl in front of her who was under twenty years old.

"You disappeared from this morning for two and a half hours. Where did you go?"

Fuyuma knew that if he wanted to dominate the conversation with Ayane, he couldn't respond to her questions.

"Although I also want to answer this question from Senior Fuyuma, this is a confidential mission assigned to me by Mr. Rizu, so..."

Ayane looked embarrassed and sincerely apologized to Fuyuma.

"...You should know your responsibilities."

"This is what Mr. Rizu allowed."

Seeing that Ayane used Hizu as a shield again, she knew that this matter would eventually go unsolved.

Because what she is doing now does not touch the bottom line of the Hyuga clan, even the elders can only give a few words of instruction at most and will not take any practical actions.

Such precious combat power was destroyed so easily, which was also a huge loss for the Hyuga clan.

Anyway, with the caged bird as a restriction, the elders won't care about trivial matters.

"Senior Dongjian, if there is nothing else, I will go and work first."

Be prepared to jump past the winter room.

"You'd better not let me catch you."

"The handle? What handle? Senior Dongjian, you are very strange."

"You can't deceive anyone, but you can't deceive my eyes. Every move you make is under my surveillance."

"Senior Dongjian...you are indeed a very strange person."

Really, it's so troublesome.

Although I don't mind working with such a person, Ayane feels that she would be bored if flies were buzzing in her ears all day long.

I really want to quickly swat this fly buzzing in my ears to death.

The dinner also ended in a calm atmosphere.

Liuli's eyes, complexion, and behavior were all the same as usual.

This also made Shiraishi more certain that Liuli's normality at this moment was the biggest manifestation of abnormality.

I thought that by dinner time, I would be baptized by Liuli's anger, but it still passed calmly, and Shiraishi became increasingly uneasy.

This uneasiness was not caused by Liuli not showing the anger he should have, but because there was a sudden unspeakable debt in his heart.

"I've already made the props you want."

"knew."

"How does it feel to lead genin on a mission?"

"Nothing special."

"When performing tasks, it's better to be careful. Just like you this time, the client lied about the task level."

"I know, I won't act out of emotion."

It was a very ordinary exchange, and Liuli just answered with her usual expression.

Shiraishi was a little absent-minded while eating. In the end, he couldn't help his curiosity and asked Liuli: "Liuli, do you really have nothing to ask me? For example, what happened when Ayane came here this morning..."

"Why are you asking? You are too sensitive. Isn't it normal for friends to come visit you?"

If you really think so, Shiraishi will feel better.

"Okay, I'm full."

Liuli left this sentence and walked out of the door before Baishi could speak again.

It was already very late at this time, and the sky outside was getting dark. That place was not where the bedroom was, it seemed to be the training ground.

Shiraishi finished his meal in a hurry and had no time to clean it up, because compared to this kind of thing, Liuli's current state worried him more.

When I went to the training ground to find Liuli, I saw her practicing taijutsu on wooden stakes there.

Liuli's strength is very heavy, and the wooden stakes here are harder than ordinary training wooden stakes, but every punch will leave shocking cracks on the wooden stakes.

Did you really start venting here?

The calm posture during the day and before were all just pretending to feel sorry for myself.

After all, it is impossible for a proud person like her to show her weakness to anyone.

Bai Shi sighed inwardly.

"Liu Li, I..."

At this time, it’s better to go head-on.

You cannot avoid this aspect with a vague attitude.

What answered him was Liuli's sudden fierce fist.

The thick murderous aura that hit his face made all the hairs on Bai Shi's body stand up.

He knew that he would definitely not be Liuli's opponent in battle, but the difference in the powerful aura flowing from her body was wider than he imagined.

In order to respond to Liuli, Shiraishi had no choice but to mobilize natural energy.

Although there was no gap in defense, for someone who was good at breaking through the enemy's defense line from the front, Liuli didn't need to use any trickery to expose the enemy's flaws, but could directly crush him from the front.

Like a violent storm, the never-ending continuous attacks only lasted for half a minute, and Shiraishi was already out of breath.

Liuli was wearing a jet-black tight-fitting outfit, and her long hair as black as night was flying in the wind. At this moment, she fell from mid-air, and her fists with protective gloves directly made a 'rumbling' sound on the ground.

The atmosphere exploded and the buzzing sound in the ears lasted for a long time before it ended.

Shiraishi glanced at the huge hole made by Liuli's punch, with cold sweat on his face.

Are you going to kill yourself?

If you are hit by a fist like that, no matter how hard your body is, it will be too much for you.

"Where are you looking? You dare to be distracted here while you are fighting me."

A cold voice came from behind.

Oops!

Shiraishi turned around, crossed his arms in front of him, and made direct contact with Liuli's fist.

boom!

His body flew out and collided hard with the wall surrounding the training ground, leaving a hole in the wall. Shiraishi sat down on the ground with some exhaustion, breathing heavily.

Liuli came to Shiraishi, fiddled with the long black hair beside her ears in a natural movement, and then put her hands on her hips, with an expression on her face that seemed very dissatisfied.

"You have become weaker. You were not this weak a year ago. This level cannot satisfy my passion for fighting."

"There is no way. I have been focusing on research for more than a year. I have only trained a handful of times. In addition, I have not practiced with others, so my body's strength and speed are inevitably a bit sluggish."

Bai Shi was very open-minded and no longer clung to Liu Li from behind like before.

Liuli stared at his face closely, sighed, and stretched out her hand to pull him up.
