"Hyūga Masaru?"
Aoi raised his eyebrows, looking somewhat puzzled.
Standing in front of him was none other than Hyūga Masaru, the old acquaintance who had given him two Beginner Treasure Chests. Since gaining Hyūga Masaru's heartfelt fear, Hyūga Masaru had never dared to meet him face to face again.
What was the reason for stopping him today?
"Aoi, you should run away quickly!"
To Aoi's surprise, Hyūga Masaru's first words upon seeing him were to tell him to run.
"Why?"
Aoi was stunned for a moment, surprised. "Could it be that old thief Senju Tobirama has come to kill me?"
After all, having gotten involved with someone else's granddaughter who was not even two years old, Aoi was a little guilty.
Although he looked only two years old, even younger than Tsunade, his soul was already an adult. His relationship with Tsunade was a real loli nurturing...
Sinful!
"No, it's my brother!"
"Your brother?"
Aoi was at a loss. He hadn't heard of Katō Dan having any relatives with the Hyūga family. Could it be that idiot Jiraiya?
"My brother's name is Hyūga Masazane. He wants to kill you!"
Hyūga Masaru pushed Aoi with a terrified expression. "You should run away quickly. He's already a Genin, has opened his Byakugan, and is a thousand times stronger than me!"
Hearing this, Aoi was completely relieved.
It wasn't Tsunade's parents, nor was it Tsunade's boyfriend from her original destiny. What did he have to be afraid of?
Hyūga Masazane, a Genin?
Aoi shook his head with a smile. He was really being underestimated.
Not to mention him now, even the him from a month ago who fought Orochimaru could defeat an ordinary Genin...
"That's a bit of an exaggeration..."
Aoi waved his hand with a smile. "I have no grudges with your brother. Why would he want to kill me?"
"It's true..."
Hyūga Masaru swallowed, explaining the whole thing.
Five minutes later...
"Because you can't defeat me, your father is going to send you to the Land of Fire?"
Aoi looked at Hyūga Masaru with a shocked expression. He never expected such a development. Did this Hyūga Masaru's dad have a problem with his head?
"I'm not as skilled as you, so I don't actually resent you..."
Hyūga Masaru sighed with a depressed mood. "But my brother has always protected me since he was little, not wanting me to suffer even the slightest grievance."
"But, why today?"
Aoi scratched his head strangely. If that Hyūga Masazane had disregarded everything and assassinated him a month ago, he might have really been in danger due to the suddenness of the attack...
But now?
Aoi only treated it as a joke.
"Because, in a few days, my brother will be heading to the battlefield!"
Hyūga Masaru swallowed. "He wants to kill you in these few days before he leaves..."
Obviously, this Hyūga Masazane wanted to kill Aoi before going to the battlefield. If he survived, as a meritorious figure in the war, coupled with the Hyūga family's influence, he might be able to save his life.
If he unfortunately died on the battlefield, then killing Aoi wouldn't be a loss either.
No matter how he calculated it, he would gain...
"I'm really being underestimated by others..."
Aoi shook his head helplessly. Regardless of which choice, Hyūga Masazane clearly thought he had Aoi in the bag.
"You should run away quickly..."
Hyūga Masaru swallowed. "I've been out for long enough. If I don't go back, my brother will become suspicious!"
Saying goodbye to the terrified Hyūga Masaru, Aoi couldn't help but frown.
It wasn't that he was worried about Hyūga Masazane, but that this Shinobi World War seemed to be getting more and more tragic...
Even teenagers were starting to be sent to the battlefield!
Walking home, Aoi was thinking about this matter. If Might Duy was sent to the battlefield, what should he do to save his life!
Unlike Might Duy, Might Duy Sr. hadn't even appeared in the story of Naruto...
Aoi didn't even know how he died or who killed him.
It was really a headache...
Just as Aoi scratched his head, the paper sliding door of a shop by the street suddenly exploded.
"Gentle Fist, Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"
