"Satoru, am I a useless person?"

Anko looked up, her brownish-gray eyes were dull and lacked any luster.

"Useless person?" Satoru Hyūga smiled helplessly. "To be honest, I don't understand. Why do you keep putting this label on yourself?"

"But I really feel like I'm useless. You and Rin are both so outstanding, and Teacher Shibi is also well-known among the Jonin. Among you guys, I only feel like a complete waste."

Anko's voice grew softer and softer, until it was as faint as the buzzing of a mosquito, barely audible.

"Why do you think so, Anko? In fact, you're already very excellent."

Satoru Hyūga sighed and tried to make his voice as gentle as possible.

"I just want to do something for everyone, no matter how small. When Rin and Kakashi were fighting, I really wanted to help, but I didn't even stand a chance against Kakashi. I could only run to find you."

"I really hate that feeling, that feeling of being completely powerless. I was right there, but I couldn't do a thing..."

Anko involuntarily clenched her fists. As she spoke, she even began to sob.

"Many times, so many times already. I'm not useful at all. I can only hold you guys back. I'm just a useless person."

Satoru Hyūga fell silent. Anko's sobbing voice sounded extremely grating to his ears.

In the original work, for Anko to be taken in as a disciple by Orochimaru, she was definitely considered a genius. But under his influence, the trajectory had changed. She, who should have been Orochimaru's disciple by now, seemed rather ordinary at this time.

And this gap was infinitely magnified in comparison with himself and Uchiha Rin.

"Anko."

Satoru Hyūga took a deep breath, put his hands on her shoulders, and tried to speak as gently as he could.

"You're actually already very good. Maybe you just don't stand out that much among us. As long as you find your own strengths and keep at it, you'll definitely become an excellent ninja."

"Do you understand?"

"Yeah."

Anko nodded and replied softly.

Satoru Hyūga let out a faint sigh. Perhaps after coming back this time, he should discuss with Teacher Shibi and arrange a special training for Anko.

With Satoru Hyūga's consolation, Anko's mood improved significantly. After taking a short break, the two started to search for the last stronghold mentioned in the intelligence.

This location was extremely secluded. Satoru Hyūga searched for a long time but still couldn't find any trace of them.

"It seems that the Anbu ninja in charge of reconnaissance only deduced from the tracks of those bandits that the enemy's stronghold is in this area. But as for the exact location, I'm afraid they haven't found it yet."

"This is going to be a bit of a hassle."

Satoru Hyūga pursed his lips helplessly and looked up at the meeting place he had agreed on with Shibi Aburame. It was already very far from here.

If they still couldn't find anything, they would have no choice but to go back and meet up with the others first, and then discuss a countermeasure.

Looking around, he found that they were already very close to the coast. The view was unobstructed, with only continuous stretches of forests all around and a cliff beside the sea.

If there was a bandit stronghold nearby, it should have been easily discovered.

"Strange," Satoru Hyūga couldn't help frowning.

Beside him, Anko suddenly said in confusion, "Satoru, I don't quite understand. Why would that group of bandits set up their stronghold here? It doesn't seem like a suitable place for a stronghold."

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in Satoru Hyūga's mind. He vaguely felt that he had grasped something.

Since that group of bandits had set up their stronghold near here, it naturally meant that there was something here that could meet their needs. He quickly scanned the surroundings, and his gaze gradually stopped on the cliff beside the coast.

"Anko, you wait here for me. I'll go and take a look."

"Okay."

When he reached the foot of the cliff and looked up at the cliff face attentively, Satoru Hyūga activated his Byakugan, and sure enough, he discovered some clues.

"These bandits actually have such great perseverance."

There were signs of artificial excavation on the cliff. From the perspective of the Byakugan, he could clearly see the positions of iron spikes, ropes, and other footholds fixed on the cliff face. Following those traces all the way up, he found a huge cave at the top of the cliff.

This was also the reason why his search had been fruitless all along. If he hadn't come to the foot of the cliff, the range of the Byakugan and his electromagnetic perception wouldn't have been able to cover that area.

Satoru Hyūga smiled and said, "No wonder they chose this place as their stronghold. From the top of the cliff, no merchant ship passing by in the nearby sea area can escape their surveillance."

After he had figured this out, Satoru Hyūga jumped up, stepped on the protruding rock ledge, and then jumped again, getting closer and closer to the top of the cliff.

The strength of that group of bandits wasn't very strong. Sniping them from a distance with a high - powered sniper rifle would take too much time. It was more time-saving to directly enter the interior of the stronghold.

In the forest.

Anko couldn't help becoming anxious.

"Satoru has been gone for so long. Why hasn't he come back yet? Could he have encountered an accident?"

The place where they were located was very far from Konoha Village. It was also the most chaotic area in the Land of Fire, and ninjas from other villages often appeared here.

This was also the reason why the Hokage had assigned for them to exterminate the bandits.

Satoru Hyūga's long absence made her can't help but worry.

Just then, a familiar voice sounded, finally making her anxious heart relax.

"Anko, let's go and meet up with Teacher Shibi."

Satoru Hyūga walked over from the forest and said to her with a smile.

"Has the mission been completed?"

"Yeah. Now all we need to do is meet up with Teacher Shibi and it'll be over. With his and Rin's abilities, they should have already taken care of it."

"Is that so? Come to think of it, I still didn't manage to help at all."

Anko couldn't help but sigh, and her expression became gloomy again.

"Don't say that, Anko. If it weren't for your reminder, I wouldn't have discovered the location of their stronghold. I might very well still be running around like a headless chicken right now?"

"Let's hurry up and meet Teacher Shibi."

"Yeah." Anko replied softly.

The agreed meeting place was far from here. After walking for a while, Satoru Hyūga looked back at the gray sky above the sea. Faint Lightning Bolts could be seen flashing through it.

Satoru Hyūga knitted his brows.

"It seems like there's going to be a downpour. Let's pick up the pace, Anko."

The two quickened their pace and swiftly shuttled through the forest.

After walking for some time, Satoru Hyūga suddenly looked solemn. He grabbed Anko beside him and murmured.

"Wait, Anko. There are two ninjas from other villages up ahead."

Hearing this, Anko also stopped and looked at Satoru Hyūga a bit nervously.

"Satoru, are they enemies?"

"It's not clear yet, but their strength is probably very strong."

Satoru Hyūga looked extremely solemn. Just now, he suddenly detected two extremely powerful bio - magnetic fields entering his perception. They were definitely very powerful ninjas.

His Byakugan activated silently. After Satoru Hyūga saw the pattern on the other party's Forehead Protectors and the ninja sword on one of their backs, he subconsciously gasped.

"Anko, let's retreat. The other party is the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."

Hearing these words, Anko felt as if a huge hand was tightly squeezing her heart.

They were the most powerful humanoid weapons in Kirigakure. Each member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist was a tremendously powerful elite jonin. And their Cruelty and bloodthirstiness were well - known to Anko even though she was far away in the Land of Fire.

"Are both of them from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?" Anko swallowed hard and subconsciously asked.

"No, the other one isn't, but his strength might be even more terrifying."

Satoru Hyūga held his breath silently. The bio - magnetic field of the person without a ninja sword was actually stronger than that of Shibi Aburame. Even if Teacher Shibi were here, he probably wouldn't have the guts to face the two of them simultaneously.

The surrounding air seemed to turn to ice. Even the movements of the two of them became sluggish. They retreated slowly, not daring to make any loud noises for fear of being detected by the other party.

Just then, the two people in the view of Byakugan moved.

They were moving at an extremely fast pace and getting closer and closer to this location.

"Damn it! Have we still been noticed?"

Satoru Hyūga's expression turned extremely grim.
