They were a hastily organized group of rogue ninja, specializing in capturing wanted criminals on the black market to collect their bounties.
Hyuga Ranmo's file had only been on the black market's wanted list last night, and they had arrived in Konoha today.
Coincidentally, they had been planning their mission when all the Ninja Academy students went to Konoha's West Mountain for some competition, so they simply made their move.
To their surprise, Hyuga Ranmo, currently ranked third on the black market bounty list, was so easy to capture; a simple strike and he was theirs.
"What do we do now?
Are we all supposed to stay here and wait until we defeat him before we all set off together?"
This was their first time working together, and they lacked trust and coordination.
"I think none of you are leaving!" Just as they were disagreeing, Hyuga Ranmo appeared before them: "You're not leaving either. Leave him here, or you'll be killed without mercy!"
His voice was icy as he stood atop a tree trunk, his face cold and indifferent.
"Who are you?
A little brat, how dare you talk such nonsense!"
The man wearing the headband of a rogue ninja from Kirigakure suddenly rushed forward, and at the same time, a thick fog rose from the dense forest.
"Water Curtain, what are you doing?
Don't use the Hidden Mist Technique, be careful Maikin escapes with that child," a rogue ninja from Kusagakure said.
A gust of wind blew by, and the fog quickly dissipated. Sure enough, Maikin and the child were nowhere to be seen.
Seeing this, the three no longer cared about dealing with Hyuga Ranmo and turned to chase after them.
Hyuga Ranmo raised an eyebrow. These people had no teamwork spirit whatsoever.
He used a Body Flicker Technique to catch up and directly blocked the path of the burly man Maikin at the front.
"Put him down, and I'll spare your life!"
Actually, Hyuga Ranmo could have killed him directly, but he didn't want to hurt Hyuga Hikaru!
Because that man's finger was on Hyuga Hikaru's neck; if he didn't act first and the other man exerted force, Hyuga Hikaru would be finished.
At the same time, the other three ninjas caught up.
"Maikin, you really can't be trusted!
You actually tried to pocket the reward money!"
"Wait, look, doesn't this kid look a bit like the kid in the black market scroll?"
Maikin had already realized that the boy on his body wasn't Hinata Ranmo at all.
Compared to him, the boy standing on the tree who had been spouting nonsense at them looked much more like him!
Shuilian took out the bounty scroll and carefully examined the portrait.
Black-haired child with closed eyes... It was exactly the same as the one in front of them.
Before, when they saw the boy in the painting with his eyes closed, they thought he had Byakugan and was deliberately keeping them closed.
Now they realized that he couldn't see, and they had arrested the wrong person from the start.
"Thud!"
The burly man Maikin threw Hinata Hikaru to the ground.
Hinata Hikaru, who had fallen from the high tree to the ground, woke up in pain.
Looking up, he saw five people in the tree, one of whom was Hinata Ranmo. He happily waved and greeted him, "Hinata Ranmo, I'm here!"
"I know, take good care of yourself!"
Hinata Ranmo said, and rushed up to him.
With two swift wind-style blade strikes, the sensory-type ninja in the team was eliminated.
He was the weakest among them and the first to fall.
This is the cruelty of the ninja world: if you don't strive and never improve, you'll always be at the bottom, and sooner or later you'll lose your life!
Hyuga Hikaru was utterly astonished by this sight.
Was this still the blind Hyuga Ranmo, whose grades always lagged behind his?
When did he become so powerful?
He rubbed his eyes; he hadn't even seen how Hyuga Ranmo attacked, and one of their opponents had already fallen.
"Lightning Release: Heavenly Lightning Technique! Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"
Hyuga Ranmo formed hand seals rapidly, leaving the remaining three opponents no chance to retaliate.
Among them, the man named Maikin was the strongest of the four, reaching the level of a Special Jonin.
Seeing things were going badly, with the wooden dragon hot on his heels, he leaped up and grabbed Hyuga Hikaru, placing his finger on his neck: "You brat, stop right now, or I'll kill him!"
Knowing how powerful this kid was, he shouldn't have thrown the hostage away.
"No, don't kill me..." The kidnapped Hyuga Hikaru was terrified, his face pale.
Hyuga Ranmo stopped his ninjutsu and landed on a large tree opposite the kidnapper.
"Hyuga Ranmo, I apologize! I'm so sorry!
I always bullied you, always said bad things about you.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to! Please save me!"
Hyuga Hikaru cried, looking at the deep forest, feeling like he was already far from Konoha. It was over.
Hyuga Ranmo definitely wouldn't save him.
He'd treated him so badly; he must hold a grudge!
"Pfft..."
Just as Hyuga Hikaru was losing hope, a Wood Release: Wood Piercing Technique suddenly exploded inside the burly man's body
. At the same time, a figure leaped over, carrying him to a large tree opposite—it was Hyuga Ranmo!
"Wow!"
He looked at Hyuga Ranmo in front of him and suddenly felt that he was incredibly tall, and that he seemed to be glowing.
Looking back at the man who had fallen to the ground, his body was riddled with Wood Release thorns like a hedgehog.
"You're amazing, Hyuga Ranmo!"
Hyuga Hikaru felt a surge of joy upon seeing his enemies dead!
"Let's go back!"
Hyuga Ranmo grabbed his wrist, used a Body Flicker Technique, and disappeared without a trace, reappearing thousands of meters away.
"Hyuga Ranmo, you're so fast! Hyuga Ranmo, you're a hidden master!
Wow, where is this?
Why haven't we reached the village yet?"
"The Forest of Death!"
"Ugh!
No wonder this place felt so eerie, but I feel safe with you by my side, Hinata Ranmo.
Let's play together from now on, Hinata Ranmo.
I suddenly realize I really like you.
I feel like I'm already your fanboy..."
Finally, the two arrived at the village.
Hinata Ranmo shook off Hinata Hikaru, who was still nagging, but Hinata Ranmo came close again with a big smile on his face.
He started bragging as soon as he saw his classmate.
"Oh my, you guys didn't see it!
Hinata Ranmo is really amazing!
Four people surrounded him and he just flicked his wrist, and two of them died.
The last one tried to threaten him with me, but he flicked his wrist again, and suddenly that person's body exploded into a wooden bomb! Isn't that amazing?
Isn't that amazing!"
The whole class surrounded Hinata Ranmo. "Really?
That's great! Hinata Ranmo, you're so good, go participate in the competition!
Just now, those older students were laughing at us, saying we're like little first-graders who can't even jump high when hit, and that we're like little stools that can only stick their butts out when hit."
