"You really are a persistent pest.
Come on, have some roasted sweet potatoes!"
Old Purple stroked his red beard and shook his head helplessly.
Hyuga Lanmo came to his side, looking at his appearance with surprise, and asked, "Sir, your beard is so long, won't it burn when you use Lava Release?"
"Pfft..." Old Purple spat out a mouthful of water: "Cough cough, well, I... who knows, anyway, it's never burned!"
"Oh, that's alright!"
Hyuga Lanmo nodded.
The two were silent for a while, then Old Purple turned to look at him and said, "Your foundation is good, and your speed is fast too.
I feel that if the two of us fought, maybe your ability would be above mine?
Of course, this is just a guess..." After speaking, he sat down, started a fire, and took out two sweet potatoes from his backpack and put them on the fire to roast.
Neither of them spoke. He stubbornly stared at the flames, then suddenly turned to look at the child beside him, and looked him up and down.
"How about we try it after we finish eating!"
"Maybe we shouldn't?"
Hyuga Lanmo shook his head, his eyes fixed on the sweet potatoes!
"If you don't fight me, I won't agree to your request.
You want to learn ninjutsu from me?
At least let me know your secrets, right?"
Old Purple raised an eyebrow, a rare smile appearing on his face.
Suddenly, he whirled around and kicked Hyuga Ranmo, then spun again, unleashing a Lava Release attack!
Hyuga Ranmo dodged backward, using Earth Release to block the Lava Release, followed by a Water Release: Waterfall to cool the Lava Release that followed. Using
Wood Release: Concealment Technique, he vanished into the forest.
"Not bad. With this ability, why bother learning from me?"
Old Purple remarked.
"Lava Release. Scorching River Rock Technique..."
Suddenly, a child appearing above the trees unleashed Lava Release, startling Old Purple.
Old Purple quickly leaped to a distance, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He stared intently at the child hanging upside down in the tree, finally asking, "You... how do you know Lava Release?"
In his memory, there weren't many people in the ninja world who could use Lava Release!
"Because if I see someone using ninjutsu, I can learn it if I want to!"
"See?
Don't you use sensory jutsu?"
Old Purple was indeed a very observant person.
During this time, Hyuga Ranmo had been following him in black and white, never revealing his blindness, yet Old Purple knew all this.
"Yes, although I use sensory jutsu, perception is still seeing..." Hyuga Ranmo spoke truthfully, his eyes deep blue, his black hair flowing in the wind, his entire body already on the ground, his eyes seeming to hold the entire starry sky.
Old Purple was overjoyed.
There was such a child in the world! If Onoki knew of such a person, he would probably be willing to sacrifice a dozen Jonin to obtain him, right?
He hated Onoki's ruthless methods to achieve his goals, and even more so his actions during the Third Shinobi World War, where he slaughtered civilians to seize food for victory.
Therefore, after several conflicts with him, he decided not to serve such a person anymore, and thus he left Iwagakure.
He just never expected to find such a treasure!
"What's your name?
Tell the truth!"
Old Purple could tell that this child was hiding something from him.
Hyuga Lanmo thought for a moment and said, "Konoha, Hyuga Lanmo!"
As soon as he said this, Old Purple took a few quick steps and was in front of him in an instant.
He squatted down and looked at him carefully: "You're from the Hyuga clan?
You don't have Byakugan!"
"Yes!
I think I have a mutated bloodline!"
This was the first time in a long time that Hyuga Lanmo had talked about his body to outsiders.
However, he did not explain the system, because the existence of the system could not be explained here, but bloodline could explain everything.
After saying this, even though they were deep in the mountains, Lao Zi still cautiously looked around, then gestured for him to be quiet: "Keep your voice down.
Don't tell anyone you don't completely trust about things like this, understand?
Also, outside of Konoha, don't say you're from the Hyuga clan, especially not here!"
Having said this, Lao Zi released the child, sighed, and sat down on a nearby rock.
He then looked at the forest fire caused by Lava Release and used Earth Release to completely cover it.
"Let's go, let's go to a nearby town and get something good to eat."
This child trusted him so much, which gave Lao Zi a strange feeling.
Since he had already left Iwagakure, he certainly wouldn't go back, and he opposed Onoki's ruthless methods for the village, so naturally he wanted to protect this child.
But when he thought of the ordinary people who died because of Onoki's stubbornness, a surge of anger welled up inside him, and he felt uneasy!
"Actually, someone like you doesn't need to become my student at all.
Besides, you've already learned all my ninjutsu, so there's no need for me to teach you anything..." Old Purple looked down at Hyuga Ranmo, his heart growing more excited the more he looked at the child.
If it were before, encountering someone from Konoha would likely have been a bloodbath, but since he learned to let go and stop getting caught up in the village's affairs, he felt much lighter.
Not only that, but now he could even coexist peacefully with a child from Konoha—it was truly a miracle.
"But I really want to learn all your ninjutsu.
I know some ninjutsu are secrets and can't be taught to just anyone, but I've truly admired you for a long time!"
Hyuga Ranmo's internal vision system was almost complete, just a little bit away from mirroring and copying the Four-Tails.
Old Purple shook his head slightly.
"I'm sorry, I can't teach you.
It's my incompetence that I can't shake you off, but as a former ninja of Iwagakure, I can't teach ninjutsu to a child from an enemy ninja village.
This is my most basic loyalty to my hometown!"
Hyuga Ranmo didn't speak.
The two of them entered the town one after the other and went to a restaurant for a meal.
Sitting at the same table, Lao Zi ordered a lot of vegetarian food.
It was then that Hyuga Ranmo realized that Lao Zi was a Buddhist, which explained why he disliked killing.
"I'll only allow you to stay with me for one more day today.
Don't be so shameless anymore. You're young and capable, you can't go astray.
There are so many things to do in life, why be so obsessed with ninjutsu?
I'm even considering giving up the ninja profession!"
With that, Old Purple poured himself a cup of sake and drank it down.
Although he had abstained from meat, he hadn't abstained from alcohol.
"Hey, you know what?
I thought about leaving Iwagakure for a long time.
Little guy, where are your parents?
Aren't they worried about you coming out alone?"
"They're dead!"
Hyuga Ranmo answered softly.
"Because of the war again, right?"
He nodded: "This damned world, some things could have been avoided, why can't some people understand that?
