Although he didn't know about the other four ninjas, the strongest one among them was definitely Jonin-level. A Jonin of the Land of Water. ...This was getting a bit troublesome. Hinata sized up the five ninjas opposite her. The five ninjas on the other side were also sizing her up. The leader among them glanced at the half-dead Grass Ninja. Then he looked at Hinata, who had some minor injuries on her body. Especially Hinata's striking *Byakugan* made him slightly stunned.

His brows slowly furrowed. This Jonin of the Land of Water asked in a deep voice: "*Byakugan*?! A Hyūga from Konoha Village? You Konoha ninjas came to our Land of Water, and are still killing people in a water country town...?" "Are you Konoha trying to challenge us to war? Do you want to tear up the peace treaty?! But judging by your appearance, it doesn't seem like it." "Or do you have some other agenda?" "..." Listening to his long conspiracy theories, the corner of Hinata's mouth twitched slightly. *

What a brain-dead guy, and what other agenda?* Her expression didn't change, even if there was a high possibility that her opponent was a Jonin. But Hinata still looked as calm as ever. Because if the opponent's Jonin wasn't proficient in speed, she was one hundred percent confident she could escape. After all, Hinata's *Shun* was quite good, plus her abnormal physical stamina. It was generally not a problem to move at high speed and escape a Jonin's pursuit. Hinata replied, "I am not a Konoha ninja. I am just a student who hasn't graduated from the Ninja Academy yet. Do you believe me?"

The Jonin frowned tightly: "Not a Konoha ninja? Impossible. You clearly have a pair of *Byakugan*." Hinata explained: "But I haven't graduated from the Ninja Academy yet, so how can I be considered a ninja? Moreover, this person must die. There is no reason for him to live in this world. I killed him. He is a rogue ninja from the Land of Grass who has killed many people. He must die." "If you don't believe me... you can go check on the children in the village behind us. All hundreds of them probably died, and they were all killed by them." After hearing Hinata's words, the eyes of the five ninjas from the Land of Water narrowed.

They chose to ignore the fact that Hinata hadn't graduated. Their attention focused on the hundreds of people who died. "What exactly is going on? Do you have any evidence to prove what you're saying is true?!" The Jonin of the Land of Water questioned in a low voice. Hinata's delicate brows furrowed slightly: "Can't you go take a look for yourself? If it's not true, you can capture me, and I won't resist." Land of Water Ninja: "......" After a few seconds of silence, the Jonin of the Land of Water stared intently at Hinata, then spoke in a deep voice: "Even if what you said is true, this rogue ninja from the Land of Grass can only be dealt with by our Land of Water. You Konoha have no right to interfere."

"I will send someone to investigate thoroughly. If it is truly as you say... then I might have misunderstood you." "And you cannot kill this person. We in the Land of Water have the right to punish him." Although Hinata was only twelve years old this year, she had learned quite a lot in the Ninja Academy, and her intellect was more mature than most adults. She could tell what the other party meant. Although the other party might see her as a "Konoha Ninja," and the relationship between the Land of Fire and the Land of Water was acceptable.

So his words were still somewhat polite. If she were an enemy ninja, he would have attacked long ago. And the reason why the other party wanted this rogue ninja from the Land of Grass. It was nothing more than wanting to extract some information from this rogue ninja. Since the other party was a rogue ninja from the Land of Grass. He must know a lot of intelligence. But... If this rogue ninja was taken away by the ninjas of the Land of Water, she would be out of time for her actual combat assessment today, and would probably receive a failing grade. So Hinata's attitude was firm: "I'm sorry, I must kill him."

As Hinata's voice fell, the kunai in her hand, imbued with killing intent, struck toward the rogue ninja. The Jonin of the Land of Water's pupils constricted, and he swiftly advanced. A gloved hand tightly gripped the kunai. The Jonin of the Land of Water's expression was grim, and he spoke coldly: "Such arrogance. I, 'Kagetsu', a Special Jonin of the Land of Water, was almost one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist during my time in the Hidden Mist Village. A Konoha *Byakugan* brat... do you want to cry and run back to your daddy?!" Although his tone was very cold and steady, in reality, his heart stirred with quite a few ripples, because the two fingers with which he gripped the kunai... now brought him a heart-wrenching pain, as if they had been struck by a hammer.

A drop of sweat welled up on his forehead. But no one noticed. Such a fast kunai. Such immense strength. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the half-dead Grass Ninja. From his name, "Kagetsu", a Special Jonin of the Land of Water, it was clear that his opponent was at least a Chunin-level ninja. And that Konoha *Byakugan* brat in front of him, who looked very young. Probably only 12 or 13 years old. Yet she could beat a Grass Ninja Chunin into such a miserable state. He certainly wasn't simple. With a cold face, he ordered the four people behind him: "Don't move... you four are just newly graduated students, only at a Genin-level, you are no match for this *Byakugan* brat. You will be killed." "This brat in the ninja world... is a rare genius." Hearing the words of this Special Jonin named Kagetsu. Hinata couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Then she looked at the four young genin with indignant faces, who seemed somewhat unconvinced. She suddenly understood. This Special Jonin of the Land of Water... should be a class teacher leading students on a mission?! "No matter what... I feel like I'm going to have to fight again." "I wonder how many moves I can hold out against a Special Jonin."
