As a professional intelligence officer, the methods Darui could use to commit suicide naturally weren't limited to just "pulling on aggro."
Concealed within the teeth of these professional intelligence personnel were usually poisons that could kill a person in a short time, prepared precisely for moments like this.
Using these drugs, one could kill themselves imperceptibly just by biting down hard on the gap between their teeth. They could also rapidly corrode the corpse, preventing the enemy from extracting information from it. It could be said to be essential medicine for suicide, whether at home or on the go.
Moreover, what Darui had hidden in his mouth at this moment was an upgraded version of the suicide drug. After biting it, it would release a fresh strawberry cake scent, allowing him to pass away peacefully amidst the aroma of his favorite food. It could be said to be a very humane form of euthanasia.
Of course, in Darui's opinion, this suicide method wasn't perfect; it was far less heroic than having his head smashed in by an enemy's palm strike. But at a time like this, there was no room for pickiness—it was better to die first!
So, at the last moment, after being acupunctured, Darui just had to bite down... but he couldn't follow through.
"Huh? Mmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!"
Before Darui could realize what had happened, a large lump of mud was stuffed into his mouth! The mud emitted a strong, earthy smell that made his stomach churn!
It doesn't matter! I can just choke myself to death by swallowing this mud!
Thump! But at that moment, Darui felt a heavy blow to the back of his head. The world before his eyes immediately began to spin, and his consciousness quickly drifted toward the heavens.
It's over.
At the last moment before Darui lost consciousness, a childish face with a faint smile appeared before him.
"Sorry, the moment you stepped into this place, you lost the right to die."
Watching Darui get knocked out by the Anbu captain's slap, Yuki, standing nearby, wiped his right hand—covered in dirt—on his clothes, revealing a relaxed smile.
If I don't want you to die, then you can't die.
In fact, the moment Darui was being acupunctured, Yuki had already grabbed a handful of soil from the yard, run over as fast as he could, and stuffed it into Darui's mouth without even looking.
Of course, the Anbu captain next to him also cooperated perfectly. He reacted almost simultaneously with Yuki's movement, knocking Darui unconscious from behind to prevent him from continuing his grand endeavor.
"Take this guy to Father and explain the situation clearly..."
After resolving this crisis, Yuki turned his head and spoke to the Anbu captain. His tone was still so calm, so composed it was almost frightening.
The young master is truly extraordinary. Hinata Kamon, the captain of the Anbu guard, never imagined that a three-year-old child could remain so unflustered in such a situation and could even calculate his opponent so calmly.
"You, take the young master back to his room first. I will take this guy to find the Patriarch."
"Yes!"
After taking one last look at Young Master Yuki, Kamon ordered his subordinate to escort the young master back to his room. Then, he picked up the unconscious Darui and went to report to Hiashi.
Not long after, when Yuki finally returned to his room, he finally let out a long sigh of relief, a slightly excited expression appearing on his face.
It's done! Successfully passed the first hurdle!
For the current Yuki, the gains tonight could be considered quite substantial. First, he successfully tested the power of "Princess Kaguya" when activating "Tidal Moon." Second, he averted this catastrophe.
For the Hyuga clan, the visitors from Kumogakure were definitely menacing. After all, they came specifically to "jump in front of a car." They wanted to get themselves killed in your home and then demand compensation. The most annoying part was that, faced with the ongoing war, you could do nothing about it.
So, in the original story, both the Hyuga clan and Konoha had to swallow this bitter pill. Although it wasn't a big deal to sacrifice Hizashi's life, no matter how you looked at it, this kind of thing was utterly disgusting, especially for Neji. It was extremely unfair—he was miserable enough being the only one in Team 8 with a tragic backstory...
But by capturing Darui alive this time, Kumogakure's porcelain-touching plan had come to an end. As long as he remained alive, everything was negotiable, and they couldn't even achieve their insurance-scamming goal.
Compared to successfully thwarting the "Kumogakure Insurance-Fraud Project," "Princess Kaguya's" abilities surprised Yuki even more.
Frankly speaking, Yuki didn't have much confidence in the ability of "Tidal Moon" before. After all, "Princess Kaguya's" base attribute values were too low. Even after absorbing the moon's power, she shouldn't be too powerful.
But after actual testing, Yuki discovered that the power of "Tidal Moon" was much stronger than he had imagined.
Of course, this isn't to say that "Tidal Moon Kaguya" was truly that powerful. To be honest, even in the "Tidal Moon" state, her strength was at most slightly above that of an average Genin.
However, when you factored in the characteristic of "Princess Kaguya's" Stand being completely invisible to ordinary people, it became truly terrifying.
Imagine how scary a "ghost" that no one could see and that could attack at any time and from any state would be. Even if this "ghost" only had the strength of a Genin, it was utterly outrageous.
Not to mention, "Princess Kaguya's" growth potential was a huge question mark. Right now, her master, Yuki, was only three years old. If "Princess Kaguya" was already this strong now, what would she be like in five years? Or ten years? What kind of terrifying existence would she become?
"Hehehe, hahahaha!"
Thinking about this, Yuki couldn't help but laugh out loud. Perhaps because he was so excited, his reaction was a bit slower, and he didn't notice the figure who had quietly pushed the door open.
"What are you laughing about?"
"Wow!"
When he heard the familiar cold voice, Yuki jumped off the bed in shock. What he saw next was his father's eternally icy expression—a face that seemed frozen for millennia.
It was said that members of the Hyuga clan were very aloof, and the current head of the family, Hiashi, was definitely the one who took this aloofness to the extreme. Even when facing his own son, he firmly maintained his original state with his icy expression and Byakugan eyes.
However, it was very rare—at this moment, there was a hint of obvious surprise in Hiashi's eyes, though the surprise wasn't very noticeable due to the Byakugan.
"Father, don't scare people like this in the middle of the night."
After clearly seeing who the visitor was, Yuki swallowed hard and spoke to his father, still startled.
"Scare you? Who's scaring you? You're the one with too much courage, daring to walk outside at night. I hope this incident teaches you a lesson."
Those somewhat indifferent eyes stared directly at his own flesh and blood. Although Hiashi tried his best to appear normal, the slight tremor of his lips couldn't conceal the surprise in his heart.
From the moment Kamon brought the Kumogakure Jonin to him and recounted the entire process, the head of the Hyuga family felt he had never truly understood his three-year-old son.
Based on Hiashi's understanding of him, he definitely wasn't the kind of boring man who would embellish facts. But from what he heard, the composure and strategic thinking Yuki displayed in this incident far exceeded expectations.
"Father, the people from Kumogakure were obviously targeting me this time. Whether I was captured lying here or captured while taking a walk outside, it doesn't seem to make much difference."
After being scolded by Hiashi (albeit perfunctorily), Yuki helplessly scratched the back of his head, his expression quite intriguing.
"Hmph, didn't you just say he was a traitor? Now you know he's from Kumogakure?"
Hiashi snorted coldly. On the way here, Hiashi had also pondered the intentions behind Kumogakure's visit this time. However, the more he thought about it, the more the hidden implications and potential consequences sent chills down his spine.
After all, Hiashi was the head of the Hyuga clan. He could naturally see what kind of trick Kumogakure was playing this time. No matter whether that guy Darui succeeded or failed, Kumogakure stood to gain benefits. It was simply a surefire, profitable venture.
However, such a stable, profitable scheme had been cracked by a three-year-old child. It was simply absurd to even say it out loud.
