Hyuga Hiashi, this man is actually very pitiful. His wife died shortly after Hanabi was born. As the head of the Hyuga family, he never remarried and never tried to have a son.

In fact, in terms of age, Ri Zu is only one year older than Luo Yi before he came to this world.

He never thought that he would be so shaken.

Luo Yi knew what his father-in-law meant by the "seal". Even if he had to make Hanabi a bird in a cage, he was unwilling to let her become a Jinchūriki-like existence.

So what if he was an orphan of four generations, and so what if he sacrificed himself for the village? Everyone in the village knew about Naruto's childhood experiences; no one dared to be optimistic about Naruto's future.

Therefore, as long as the future son-in-law in front of him can protect his daughter when he cannot protect her, it will be fine even if his daughter is not strong.

"Please rest assured, father-in-law. Although I don't know the principle of the power of fireworks, I did feel it vaguely a long time ago." Luo Yi chose his words carefully, "During this period of time, our training has been carried out with the goal of controlling that power."

Rizu understood. No wonder they had been spending less time on cultivation recently and more time on calligraphy, painting, tea ceremony and flower arrangement. Was it for the purpose of cultivating their minds and tempers?

"You think more deeply than I do... Well, I can now entrust Fireworks to you with confidence." The old father smiled with relief and loneliness.

"Please don't say that. Hanabi and Hinata-sister will still be more dependent on you now and for a long time in the future." Somehow, Luo Yi could empathize with his father-in-law.

If I have a daughter in the future, I will experience this day sooner or later, right?

The communication between the future son-in-law and the future father-in-law did not last long but was fruitful. Luo Yi felt the love from Ri Zu's words, and Ri Zu also felt the responsibility from Luo Yi's statement.

So it was dinner time.

"Dad, I'm sorry for making you worry." Hanabi apologized pitifully before eating.

"It's okay, I've seen it all, and Luo Yi has also explained it. There's nothing wrong with your original intention of action, and you need to work harder in the future. Increasing strength is not the only purpose of training, mastering strength is also the same." Rizu admonished patiently.

"Yes." The little girl didn't dare to look at her father's expression.

"Don't be tense. After dinner we will go to the hospital to see your sister and then come back to rest early. We have to go to the Hokage tomorrow to explain the situation." Hiashi explained the next arrangements.

Hinata's condition is much better than the medical staff imagined. She only needs to be observed in the general ward for a few days, and her family can visit her at any time.

As for the Hokage, Hanabi's performance today does require an explanation.

"Yeah." When it comes to visiting her sister, the little girl is still nervous and anxious, "Luo Yi, are you going too?"

She had caused trouble, and her fiancé had to clean up the mess for her. Hmm… I felt really guilty, even self-loathing, but I also felt inexplicably relieved. Strange…

"As for me," Luo Yi glanced at the rising moon outside the window, "I'm afraid I can't. I have important things to do in the next two nights."

Full moon night.

...

Kikyo Castle, near the border between the Fire Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom.

A giant, exquisitely shaped sculpture called "Angler Fish" sits on the roof of a classic ancient building. On the "fish tail" sits a gloomy young man with a large gourd on his back.

"It's a headache. Don't you want to rest?" Another voice came from the roof. It came from Toss Anvil, the porcupine mummy sound ninja who played with sound waves.

"Something?" Gaara lowered his eyes, as if he was looking at the next victim.

"I was planning to wait until you rested before I attacked you... I wanted to fight you here." Toss was ready to reduce the number of opponents before the official game. "I saw how you attacked with sand. Which is faster, sound or sand?"

A very straightforward provocation.

"When the moon is full, its blood will boil..." Gaara ignored him and looked up at the sky.

Then, the figure under the moon began to change suddenly.

"Click——"

Three bottomless claw marks appeared on the roof, raising a huge cloud of dust. However, among the countless pieces of split wood, the body of Tos, which was supposed to be there, did not appear.

Gaara recovered and supported his knees with his hands, breathing heavily, and glanced towards the woods not far away, which was the direction where he suddenly appeared and disappeared.

Luo Yi didn't expect that he had saved one more person beyond the original plan.

"Why did you save me? You are a Konoha man, how could you be willing to take such a risk to save me?" Toss, who escaped death, was puzzled.

The monster that Gaara turned into gave him a sense of oppression that was even greater than that of Orochimaru, but Luo Yi, who had no contact with him before, rescued him in front of this monster.

Although, Toss's evaluation of Luo Yi is on par with Orochimaru.

He had never seen anyone who could walk around with the Kusanagi sword and still be safe and sound.

"Why... just think that I am too kind-hearted and can't just stand by and watch someone die." Luo Yi couldn't figure out why he suddenly helped a supporting role change his fate, but now that things have come to this...

He decided not to waste any more words, "You want to prove it to Orochimaru, right? Unfortunately, you have already seen Gaara's true face, and Sunagakure will not let you live. My suggestion is to play dead and hide in the dark, and then wait for the opportunity to strike during the official competition."

"What is your purpose in doing this? Don't think I will appreciate your kindness!" Toss's trust in the person in front of him was even lower than that of Orochimaru.

The only reason for saving myself is because I am of use to him.

"I thought you were the most reasonable one among the three of you. I was wrong." Luo Yi didn't indulge him. "If you want to go back and die, then hurry up. I have something else to do. I'm leaving now."

Then he disappeared in an instant, leaving Toss with a confused look on his face.

Really... save him, and then leave without asking for any reward or conditions?

...

At the same time, the instructor’s dormitory is opposite the candidates’ dormitory.

Sunagakure's teacher, Maki, is chatting with Kabuto.

"I didn't expect that someone could rescue someone from Gaara. Did Orochimaru come forward personally?"

When Luo Yi rescued Toss, he transformed into the appearance of Otogakure's instructor, which was the image that Orochimaru showed at the beginning of the preliminaries.

"How is it possible? Lord Orochimaru would not do anything for a discarded child." Kabuto denied without hesitation, "The only people who can do such a touching and boring thing are probably Konoha's Jonin... and him..."

"Konoha? Doesn't that mean that after today Konoha will know that we brought Shukaku here, and our plan to "destroy Konoha" will be exposed?" Maki's tone was filled with dissatisfaction.

"Don't worry. Even if I'm not exposed over there, I've already been exposed." Kabuto laughed dryly twice, "They've already discovered that I'm a spy for the Sound Ninja."

"And you came to see me after you were exposed... If they knew about our meeting, the plan would be completely ruined! What "Orochimaru's right hand", you are so stupid." Maki has already started to think about the plan after being exposed.

"Hehe... To be precise, I let them find me on purpose." Kabuto pushed his glasses with a sullen face, "I wanted to use this to test Konoha's reaction... Besides, leave the aftermath to me..."

"No, let me do it. Since he's our comrade, we should help him. Besides... there's only one rat, it's easy."

Kabuto and Maki looked towards the same corner.

The person squatting in that corner was Ji Feng.

On the nearby roof, the figures of Gale and Maki flashed, and it was obvious that the latter was much faster than the former.

"Isn't this the examiner? Why are you here?" Maki spoke politely, but there was murderous intent in his eyes.

"Teacher Jifeng asked me to practice and prepare for the competition, why are you so meddlesome?" Luo Yi appeared behind Jifeng with his right hand already on the Kusanagi sword.

"Luo Yi, you..." Ji Feng was so shocked that he didn't know how to ask.

After experiencing the battle between Hinata and Neji, I dare not be careless now. If I show up a little later, it may be too late to save the situation.

"I didn't expect there were two mice..." Maki's tone was a little more fearful, "Your stealth skills are better than your teacher's. Kabuto and I didn't find you."

"Is there a possibility that Dou has discovered me but didn't tell you?" Luo Yi smiled cunningly.

"Stop trying to sow discord. We are..." Maki shouted, then suddenly stopped.

Just now, Kabuto said that it was "deliberately exposed" with the purpose of "testing Konoha's reaction"; then could it be that it is also "deliberately exposed" now with the purpose of "testing Sunagakure's reaction"?

"You are an 'indestructible alliance', right? Don't forget that Sand Village and Konoha are now officially allies, and what are you doing now?" Luo Yi smiled like a certain Snake Pill.

Just plant the seed called doubt...
