Chapter 100 Mask
Chapter 100 Mask
Before Kai could even explain, Hyuga Kito breathed a sigh of relief, pleading as if he'd seen a savior, "This guy thinks I'm trying to steal his student and insists on a duel with me. Jiraiya, please keep your subordinates in check!"
Jiraiya was somewhat puzzled. "A duel? Guy?"
Upon hearing this, Matt Kai awkwardly scratched his head with a laugh, looking somewhat guilty.
The main reason is that the village has been quite busy lately, but after reporting his mission, he heard that a guy from a mysterious organization was Neji's teacher and was also proficient in physical combat, so he was a bit tempted by the prospect.
After explaining the whole story to Jiraiya, Jiraiya pondered for a moment and then suddenly nodded and said, "Actually, I also think you two can have a spar, but you have to respect the wishes of the wooden man. Whether you can persuade the wooden man to agree to your duel in the remaining days depends on your own ability."
Just as he was about to watch Jiraiya teach Guy a lesson, Hyuga Kito was dumbfounded when he realized what was happening. Wait a minute! No way?! He deliberately lured this guy over here, not so that he would change his strategy and become a persistent pest.
However, upon hearing this, Kai immediately flashed a smile, revealing his pearly white teeth, and said resolutely, "Yes! Lord Jiraiya!"
Hyuga Kito frowned at this, not wanting to waste chakra on the matter. Just as he was about to question Jiraiya about Konoha's way of treating guests.
Jiraiya seemed to know what he wanted to say, and suddenly changed the subject, "Of course, if we're going to duel, we can talk about it later. By the way, now that you're here, Kijin, could you please take a look at Karin's condition?"
"Karin?" Hinata Kito pondered, as if remembering something. "Is she the little girl who mistook me for someone else the other day?"
"Mistook me for someone else?"
As Hyuga Kito spoke, he slightly lowered his head as if he had seen something. "Hmm, don't worry about it. By the way, if you're talking about her, you can go back and check the room now. She should be awake by now, if nothing unexpected happens."
"Awake??" Jiraiya then realized that Naruto, who had been making a ruckus just moments before, hadn't secretly followed them. It seemed that what Hyuga Kito had said was true.
"Is there anything else? If not, I'll be leaving now." Seeing that Jiraiya understood the situation, Hyuga Kito planned to slip away before Gai could react.
"etc!!"
Suddenly, an urgent shout was heard. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a red-haired girl adjusting her glasses, breathing slightly heavily.
After Karin adjusted her glasses and clearly saw the figure in front of her, her doubts deepened. It was him again?!
Frowning, she closed her eyes again and used her senses to visualize the detailed anomalies within a ten-mile radius.
At this moment, Naruto and the others also caught up. Just now, after Karin woke up, she suddenly closed her eyes, as if she sensed something, and hurriedly chased after them despite Naruto and the others' advice.
Karin analyzed the chakra appearing in her senses. This was Naruto, Sasuke… Jiraiya… and Reikawa? No, this position belonged to the Wood Golem!
Karin slowly opened her eyes and looked at Hyuga Kito. After a moment of hesitation, she finally made up her mind and said, "Could you please remove your mask?"
"!!!"
Just as Karin finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly fell silent. Everyone had different expressions, but there was no sound and no one spoke.
Because this was a question they had also wondered about, but they felt that the request was impractical. Wasn't the purpose of wearing a mask to hide one's identity?
Just as Jiraiya was worried that this question would arouse the guard of the wooden man, and wanted to laugh it off and let the matter pass,
"Can."
Just as everyone's expressions turned to surprise.
Hinata Kito's lips curled slightly as he continued, "I said I could take off my mask, but what do you have to offer in exchange?"
