Yi Shuihan was not seen.

"What is that?"

"Lord Danzo!"

"careful!"

Not far away, several Konoha ninjas pointed to the sky and screamed in terror.

A palm, about a hundred meters long, made entirely of purple lightning, fell at an extremely fast speed directly above Danzo.

Danzo felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and then he completely lost consciousness.

A palm print appeared on the ground. Below, Danzo and two Anbu members had disappeared, but Uchiha Itachi was strangely unharmed. After a while, he was rescued by the arriving ninjas.

"Have you ever heard of a palm technique that descends from the sky?"

Several kilometers away, Yi Shuihan muttered to himself, Danzo really underestimated him. His attack range was hundreds of miles. If a sword immortal could take a head from a thousand miles away, he could naturally take Danzo's head from several kilometers away as well.

Moreover, while taking the head, he could precisely control the attack so that it wouldn't land on Itachi Uchiha.

"What? Danzo is dead? And the Root headquarters has been completely wiped out?"

Minato Namikaze looked at the ANBU member who came to report, and his voice involuntarily rose a few decibels.

Although he himself did not like Danzo, and even sometimes wished for Danzo's death, he had to admit that Danzo had played a certain role in the stability of Konoha. Moreover, the power Danzo controlled was no weaker than that of the Hokage. How could such a powerful force be completely wiped out in such a short time?

Something is wrong, so wrong.

"Tell me again how Danzo died?"

"Danzo was witnessed by several ninjas. He was killed by a giant lightning palm that fell from the sky and was killed in one blow. His body could not be found. However, strangely, Uchiha Itachi was found under the giant palm. He was unconscious at the time, and there is still a huge palm print there. At the same time, there is a very similar palm print at the headquarters of Root."

"Danzo was instantly killed without any resistance?" Minato Namikaze knew that this meant the enemy's strength far exceeded Danzo's, and even far exceeded his own.

With such strength, if he were in Konoha, the image of Yi Shuihan would automatically appear in Minato Namikaze's mind, and this image would remain in his mind and could not be removed.

There's a 90% chance, no, a 99.999% chance, that Minato Namikaze was killed by Yi Shuihan, and a 0.001% chance that Danzo was killed by Heaven because of divine resentment.

"Is it because of Itachi Uchiha? Itachi Uchiha was his disciple. If Danzo attacked Itachi Uchiha, then there would be a motive. But why would Danzo suddenly attack Itachi Uchiha?"

Minato Namikaze couldn't understand this, and even if he knew who did it, he couldn't take any further action. Seeking revenge on Yi Shuihan? Don't be ridiculous. Yi Shuihan was already showing mercy by killing Danzo and not pursuing the matter.

"Danzo! I told you long ago not to mess with him, but you still went." The Third Hokage remained silent for a long time after receiving news of Danzo's death.

The Third Hokage stayed alone in his room for a long time before reappearing. However, after coming out, he never mentioned Danzo, as if he had completely forgotten about it.

Chapter 386, The Daughter-Sending Plan in Progress

The impact of Danzo's death was far greater than it appeared on the surface. All the major clans in Konoha were shocked and, fearing that they might offend Yi Shuihan, issued orders to restrain their clan members and make them show Yi Shuihan the utmost respect.

If anyone offends Yi Shuihan, they will have to bear the consequences alone. The clan will not only not help them take revenge, but will also send them over to apologize.

The coordinated actions of the various families ensured that both the older and younger generations remembered the name Yi Shuihan once again.

Many families have even made it clear that even if they offend the Hokage, oppose Konoha, or even become rogue ninjas, they should not provoke Yi Shuihan.

Yi Shuihan became a taboo subject for a time.

The Uchiha clan, because Danzo's death was apparently caused by Itachi Uchiha, and Yi Shuihan killed Danzo to avenge his disciple, immediately fawned over Itachi Uchiha within the clan, directly confirming him as the next clan head. Within the Uchiha clan, Itachi Uchiha's influence was even greater than that of his father, the clan head Uchiha Fugaku.

In order to compete with the Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan launched a plan to send their daughter to the Uchiha clan. The plan had only one goal: to make Hinata Hyuga a disciple of Yi Shuihan.

If they can't become his disciple, they should at least become someone Yi Shuihan cares about. The best outcome would be to become Yi Shuihan's woman directly. Of course, considering Tsunade's existence, they don't have much hope that Hinata can become Yi Shuihan's woman.

"Sakura, what are you doing here?"

"Ino, and Hinata, what's going on with you two?"

"Sakura, Ino..."

The three female ninjas among the new generation of Konoha's 12 Konoha members unexpectedly reunited outside the hot spring resort.

“Isn’t this a hot spring? Of course I’m here to soak in the hot spring.” Sakura seemed quite natural.

“Me too.” Ino’s eyes flickered. In fact, after experiencing the charm of the hot spring, she fell in love with the place. Later, after hearing about Yi Shuihan, she gradually shifted her attention from Sasuke to Yi Shuihan. Now, she wants to meet Yi Shuihan more than improve her strength.

"And you, Hinata, are you the same as me?"

"...Huh?" Hinata Hyuga blushed, paused for a moment before nodding, or rather, lowered her head in embarrassment.

My father asked me to become Brother Yi's apprentice. I wonder if Brother Yi will accept me!

What should I do? It's so embarrassing! But Father…

Hinata's mind flashed back to the serious yet expectant gazes of her father and the elders, and her eyes instantly hardened.

Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura, however, did not notice Hinata Hyuga's change. Hinata Hyuga was always like this, and even if they had paid attention, they might not have noticed anything unusual.

"Ino, you haven't been competing with me for Sasuke lately. Did you realize you couldn't win and just gave up? You're quite self-aware!"

Sakura Haruno looked smug, thinking she had guessed the truth. However, Ino, whom she had always regarded as her rival, looked at her indifferently and did not show the reaction she had expected.

"Don't think you can get away with this by pretending. Actually, what you're really thinking right now is..."

“Who would like a brat like Sasuke? Only an immature kid like you would like him,” Ino said expressionlessly, then a blush appeared on her face. “Compared to him, Sasuke is far inferior.”

"Him! Who is he?" Sakura looked at Ino in confusion, and this time she really realized that Ino wasn't lying, but genuinely had no interest in Sasuke.

For some reason, Sakura suddenly felt very bored, and even her interest in Sasuke decreased significantly.

As a young girl, she naturally has a competitive mentality. The reason she was so obsessed with Sasuke was because Ino was always competing with her for him. Now that there is no rival, her obsession with Sasuke has naturally become less intense.

"Oh, it's Ino and Hinata! And are you all here to soak in the hot springs, kids?"

"Hello, Uncle Dai."

"Hello, uncle!"

Having met Ino and Hinata many times before, he was very familiar with them and greeted them with a smile.

Even though it was his first time meeting Sakura, he could tell from Ino and Hinata's conversation and their expressions that they were definitely friends. He also acted very kindly towards Sakura because of his affection for her. Even if he didn't know her and she was just a little girl he didn't know, he would still treat her in a similar way.

"Your name is Xiaoying, right? You've come at just the right time; there are still some spots left today."

As Matt Day spoke, he led the three women inside.

"what is this?"

Sakura Haruno suddenly saw the Iron Rule Stele not far away and pointed at it, saying...

"Oh, that's the ironclad rule stele of our hot spring resort. You can take a look at it first. If you violate the rules on it, you will be punished."

Curious, she walked up to the iron rule stone tablet and carefully looked at the words on it. Gradually, Sakura Haruno's little mouth opened, and the gap kept getting bigger and bigger until it was big enough to fit an apple.

"It was my first time here, just like yours! But I got used to it after a while."

Yamanaka Ino spoke in a manner befitting her senior, while Hinata remained indifferent.

"What? What's so great about it?"

Sakura Haruno said unhappily, not wanting Ino to see her looking so pathetic.

With a light laugh, Ino Yamanaka ignored Sakura Haruno and instead asked Might Guy, "Brother Yi now? Can I go see him?"

"Well, if it's alright, I also need to speak with Brother Yi about something."

Hinata Hyuga raised her little hand and said cutely.

Even Might Guy was charmed by Hinata and was momentarily lost in thought.

"The boss's words are in the back, but I need to ask him first before you go to see him."

Might Guy wouldn't have been so easy to talk to if it were anyone else, but he knew that Yi Shuihan seemed to treat Hinata differently than others, which is why he said he was willing to ask Yi Shuihan.

"It's alright, just go ask! I think he'll be willing to see us."

"Alright, but I need to make arrangements for this little girl first."

Might Guy explained the prices of the hot springs to Sakura and then asked her how she wanted to spend her money.

"Could we wait a moment? If possible, I'd also like to meet the owner here."

Chapter 387, Unable to Become a Disciple, But Successfully Takes in a Sister

"You said that Ino, Hinata, and a girl named Sakura Haruno want to see me."

When Matt Day met Yi Shuihan, Yi Shuihan was eating dessert and drinking black tea.

After a few seconds of hesitation, Yi Shuihan replied, "Okay, you can bring them over."

His main purpose was to meet Hinata, this gentle girl to the core; Ino and Sakura were just secondary considerations.

Before long, the three little girls, led by Matt Dai, arrived in front of Yi Shuihan.

"Want to eat something together?"

Yi Shuihan spoke in a big brother's manner, seemingly treating the girls like little sisters.

A warm feeling, like that of an older brother, instantly healed the hearts of the three girls. It's not just girls who can be healed; a warm-hearted man can heal girls too!

Not to mention Ino, who was already captivated by Yi Shuihan's charm, even Sakura, who had only met Yi Shuihan for the first time, was instantly filled with Yi Shuihan's heart, and even Sasuke's shadow was gradually replaced by Yi Shuihan.

At this moment, she seemed to understand why Ino had fallen for someone else. How could someone so outstanding really exist? He was even more handsome than Sasuke, and so mature and reassuring.

"Um, nice to meet you. I'm Sakura Haruno. Big brother, you can call me Sakura. Please take care of me."

What kind of madness is this? Yi Shuihan looked at Haruno Sakura, who was staring at him with a dazed expression, with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

However, in order to maintain his image, Yi Shuihan still smiled and nodded, saying, "I am Yi Shuihan, and I am also the owner here. You can call me Brother Yi or Brother Han, it's nice to meet you, Xiaoying."

"Wow! What is this feeling? I'm so excited, my heart is pounding. Could this be the legendary love at first sight?" Sakura Haruno was completely lost in her own reverie.

"Looks like I have another opponent. But oh well, I'm not the first one anyway. Lady Tsunade is too unfair. Maybe I'll need to team up with Sakura to have a chance."

Yamanaka Ino covered her forehead, lost in thought.

"Hmm?" Yi Shuihan suddenly turned to look at Hinata. Just now, he had a feeling that something interesting was about to happen, and the person who triggered it was Hinata.

Staring at her by Yi Shuihan, Hinata felt as if she was burning with embarrassment. The Nine-Tails' rampage in the original story did not occur, nor did the incident of the Cloud Village stealing the Byakugan happen, and there was no story of Naruto saving her. Therefore, Hinata did not have Naruto in her heart at this time. Although Yi Shuihan was not as close to her as Naruto was in the original story, they were definitely much closer than ordinary relationships.

It's admiration, the kind of affection a younger sister has for her older brother, or a romantic feeling between a man and a woman. In short, Hinata's feelings for Yi Shuihan are quite peculiar.

Mustering her courage, Hinata walked step by step towards Yi Shuihan. With each step, her gaze grew more resolute. When she was less than a meter away from Yi Shuihan, Hinata's face was filled with determination, and her eyes were filled with seriousness.

"Please marry me!"

Suddenly, a scene flashed into Yi Shuihan's mind: the person proposing was Hinata Hyuga. It has to be said that Hinata at this moment really looked like a man about to propose.

Of course, the real reality is,

"Please accept me as your apprentice, Brother Yi."

After speaking, as if she had exhausted all her courage, Hinata once again became the familiar Hinata, her head bowed, not daring to look at Yi Shuihan, her body trembling, as if she were waiting for judgment.

"What?! Hinata...she's become an apprentice?"

Ino stared at Hinata in shock. The Hinata who was completely different from before, and the words she spoke, seemed like a dream, making it hard for her to believe.

Sakura Haruno also sensed that something was wrong and became very quiet.

All eyes lingered between Hinata and Yi Shuihan.

Might Guy recalled the scene at that tournament where people wanted to become his apprentices, and he couldn't help but feel nervous. He didn't want to see Hinata being rejected and heartbroken. Even he liked this little girl very much!

"Suddenly becoming an apprentice, is this what they call an interesting thing? Why doesn't it feel interesting at all!" Yi Shuihan's gaze swept over Hinata, and he was also considering whether he should agree.

To be honest, he had indeed considered taking Hinata as his apprentice. After all, he wanted this girl to have the ability to protect herself and not hurt others, or at least to have the ability not to be hurt herself.

However, I later realized that even if I didn't take her as my apprentice, I could still guide her, and the effect would be the same.

Hmph, he would never admit that he actually has some feelings for this little girl!

Now that Hinata has personally become his apprentice, it wouldn't be good to suddenly refuse. This child, who is already easily hurt, will definitely feel bad and sad because of his refusal.

I'm in a dilemma! What a mess this is! Why did they suddenly start this apprenticeship thing? I was caught off guard by this unexpected apprenticeship. Although I'm happy to be recognized like this and everyone wants to become my apprentice, I'm actually a little reluctant to accept this disciple!

What to do? I've got it! Let's decide on this!

“It’s impossible for me to be your master,” Yi Shuihan finally spoke, but his words made Hinata’s face darken. However, he quickly changed the subject, “But I do want to have a cute little sister. I wonder if you would be willing? As long as you become my sister, you can learn whatever you want, and I will protect you.”

"My sister? Me!" Hinata pointed at herself, her eyes filled with disbelief.

If I become the younger sister, then I'll be the close person Father mentioned, right? That would fulfill everyone's expectations.

"Hmm," she nodded affirmatively. "So, are you willing?"

"I am willing."
