"Although I do dislike the Cloud Village a bit, you seem like a decent guy, so I'll give these two photos to you for free!"
Hinata wore a kind expression on her face, but inwardly she was smirking like a devil.
"Oh wow, thank you! You're really such a kind person!" Muyue excitedly called Hinata a "Nice Guy," completely unaware of the devastating blow he was about to suffer.
"Here."
Hinata tossed the photos over. Her smile growing even wider.
"Thank you so much—I've always wanted to collect pictures of Lord Raikage and Killer Bee! Unfortunately, their pictures are never sold anywhere."
He held the photos as though they were precious treasures, thanking Hinata repeatedly. But the next second, when he finally looked closely at the content of the two pictures, his facial expression suddenly froze.
"By the way, what kind of photos did Hinata give him?" Kakashi asked with some confusion from the spectator stands. "Why did that kid suddenly go silent?!"
"Kakashi-sensei, do you still remember the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning back then?" Sakura smiled slightly while reminding him.
"Hold on—wait... Are you saying that those two photographs..." Kakashi gulped involuntarily, tightening his grip on Make Out Paradise uneasily. To this day, he still hadn't fully recovered from the psychological trauma of that past incident. How terribly unfortunate this fan of the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee must be—seeing those same horrifying images might just shatter his mind entirely!
"Exactly what you're thinking!" Sakura's words made Kakashi break out in a cold sweat. "Originally, Hinata asked me for those pictures hoping one day to spread them across the entire shinobi world. But it seems they've already served their purpose ahead of schedule."
"That photo..." Naruto, listening nearby, naturally understood immediately as well, and his face turned green instantly.
"What a pitiful guy," muttered Sasuke softly, shaking his head. This was truly karma. Before the match even started, he was dealt a powerful psychological hit. If this guy didn't have a strong enough heart, he could easily lose his sanity.
"Don't forget to remind Haku and Kotetsu later to send him to Konoha Hospital," Kakashi said after a pause, struggling to find the right words. "And also arrange for a psychotherapist to help counsel him afterward. We can't afford for something tragic happening to happen here in Konoha."
"Ibiki should go—he's familiar with this sort of psychological issue!" Sakura suggested.
"Heh," Kakashi rolled his eyes inwardly. If you want to seriously traumatize someone from the Cloud Village, just say it outright.
Chapter 203: Hinata's Path of Revenge [Part 2]
"This has to be fake—you're lying to me with counterfeit photos!"
Muyue clutched his chest, his steps unconsciously stumbling backward several paces. His trembling hand held the photographs, and his expression showed signs of breaking down emotionally.
"As much as I wish I could tell you they were fake, the truth is often very cruel!"
"Hinata looked at Muyue with sympathy. 'This photo is genuine, you know. Otherwise, who would dare to impersonate the Fourth Raikage?'
'No, impossible! Impossible!'
Muyue's voice quivered slightly as he spoke, bordering on tears. The two people in the photo reminded one immediately of the word 'freedom'—and that shattered his beliefs completely.
'Stop running from reality. Be strong,' Hinata comforted him kindly while secretly laughing inwardly.
'You're lying through your teeth—you shameless fraud!'
Muyue threw the photograph onto the ground and glared angrily at Hinata, his eyes burning with fury. He was convinced this was a deliberate attempt to confuse him; it must have been planned like that!
'What a shame for this photograph—it got thrown on the ground by you! Weren't you claiming to be a fan of the Fourth Raikage?'
Hinata shook her head, feigning disappointment. That look paired with her mocking tone only stoked Muyue's rage further.
'I'll definitely kill you!'
Muyue growled murderously, nearly shooting sparks from his nostrils. 'I will never allow anyone to insult Honored Raikage and Killer Bee-sama!'
'You're welcome to try!' Hinata folded her arms across her chest, standing firmly with a cold countenance, a faint smirk playing at the corners of her lips, clearly expressing disdain in her eyes. 'And coincidentally, today I'm also here to collect on the debt your Cloud Village has owed me for years!'
'You vile wretch who dares smear the honor of Raikage and Killer Bee—die!'
Muyue drew out the weapon strapped to his back and charged toward Hinata fiercely.
The weapon Muyue wielded was a broad double-edged sword, appearing quite heavy, yet felt as light as a feather in his hands, handled with great ease and dexterity.
The Hyuga clan was known for their unparalleled skill in taijutsu. In the face of Muyue's attack, Hinata didn't even need to activate her Byakugan. She simply stepped sideways slightly, dodging effortlessly.
Muyue swung his wide-bladed sword mightily, creating gusts of wind—a testament to his tireless practice over the years. Despite his remarkable swordsmanship, every strike came within a hair's breadth of slicing her robe's edge—but not quite hitting its mark. Each time she evaded with impeccable timing, maintaining such a razor-thin margin that it left Muyue frustrated but unable to land a single blow.
'Are you just going to keep dodging?!' Muyue angrily gripped his sword, striving to suppress the rage building inside. His emotions had mostly calmed by now, and he felt terrified about his earlier rash charge forward—if Hinata hadn't merely avoided him but instead engaged in direct combat, given his current capabilities, it would've been extremely dangerous.
'I dislike your Cloud Village, but I'm not someone who'd take advantage of another's vulnerability. Your former self, blinded by anger, wasn't worthy enough for me to strike back!'
Hinata scoffed contemptuously. It was true she hated people from the Cloud Village, but provoking others intentionally before ambushing them was beneath her principles. Winning meant nothing if it wasn't done honorably and fairly.
