Chapter 182: First Meeting with Neji

Konoha Village.

After saying goodbye to Jiraiya.

Xia Mu found that he ran out in the middle of the night.

There was really nowhere to go.

He didn't dare to go back for the time being, because he didn't want Tsunade to break his ribs.

Let's talk about it after Tsunade's anger subsided.

Xia Mu walked around Konoha leisurely and found that the lives of civilians were relatively stable.

The third generation was better to civilians, but other aspects were not so good.

Unknowingly, Xia Mu walked to the door of the Hyuga clan.

The high gate and large courtyard covered a very large area.

There were guards on duty at the door, and the guards saw a figure coming from a distance.

After looking at it with the white eyes in advance, they were all surprised.

In the middle of the night, why did the head of the Uchiha clan come here?

"Lord Xia Mu, what's the matter so late?"

It happened that the Hyuga clan came to chat with Hizashi and see little Neji.

"Well, is Hizashi here?" Xia Mu asked.

"Master Hizashi is here, please follow me."

"Go and pass the message."

The guard said to his companion next to him, and led Natsuki inside.

With Natsuki's status, it is impossible to leave others at the door.

Although Natsuki did not send a visiting card in advance, it is well known that Natsuki and Hizashi have a good relationship.

There is nothing wrong with the guard's behavior.

When the guard led Natsuki in, Hizashi had already stood up to greet Natsuki.

Hizashi waved his hand, and the other guards went down. It was quiet around, and there were only the two of them left.

Hizashi took Natsuki to the study.

"What is the important matter that Natsuki came to me so late?"

Hizashi understood that as the head of the clan, he came to see him alone at night, it must be something very important and secret.

Natsuki was immediately fooled, and now he was embarrassed, Hizashi looked so serious.

Could it be that Natsuki wanted to say that he just came to chat with you and see Neji by the way?

Let's make an alliance, after all, I might intervene in the Kumogakure battlefield later.

Xia Mu coughed: "Hizashi, Orochimaru is coming back."

Hizashi was not surprised to hear this: "I have prepared for the recent announcements issued by the Third Hokage."

"Now Jiraiya is in the village, Tsunade is with me, and when Orochimaru comes back, the three ninjas will be gathered."

Hizashi didn't know why Tsunade was in the Uchiha clan, but if Orochimaru came back and the three ninjas gathered, the power reserve of the Third Hokage would increase greatly.

Although Jiraiya and Tsunade were both alone, Orochimaru had never lacked followers, and there were even many old subordinates who were idle at home in Konoha Village.

These people were no longer trusted by Konoha Village because of Orochimaru's defection.

Not only were they monitored for a long time, but they were also worried that Konoha would do something behind their backs, so they basically resigned and returned home.

If you are willing to accept long-term surveillance, you can only do some unimportant positions.

"We Uchiha have been removed, and now we have the right to withdraw at any time. Now only your Hyuga clan is left in the entire Konoha. You and your brother must make plans early."

The reason why Xia Mu did not consult with Hiashi is that Hiashi often has a more old-fashioned and conservative mindset.

And because of the relationship of being a bird in a cage, Hiashi has a broader perspective on many things.

Hiashi did not expect this, he just thought that Xia Mu came to deliver this message, which should be a hint.

"Xia Mu, what are your plans?"

After all, if Orochimaru comes back and the strength of the Hokage line is improved, it is unknown whether they will oppress Uchiha again.

Hiashi did not know that the Uchiha clan and Orochimaru had cooperated.

Natsuki said, "I just met Jiraiya. We Uchiha may be coming back."

Hiashi was surprised: "Are we moving the whole clan back?"

Natsuki shook his head: "How is that possible? I don't know what the Third Hokage is planning. At most, he is seeking a position in the Elders' Council."

"Become a listed elder."

"If the Hokage faction is strong, we may need to support each other."

When Natsuki said this, Hiashi nodded.

The ability of the three ninjas was enough for Natsuki to pay attention to. After all, the struggle for power is not like exchanging chess pieces. You can't start a war easily. Otherwise, after both sides are defeated, others can only take advantage.

No wonder Natsuki had to go there in person. Natsuki meant to form an alliance.

This matter can only be said by him alone.

Now the various ninja clans in Konoha, if they are not close to the Third Hokage, are gradually falling apart, or only two or three kittens are left.

Over the years, Hiashi has seen too many ninja clans disappear for various reasons.

Because of the unique ability of the Byakugan, the Hyuga clan has always been regarded as a forbidden delicacy by Konoha, and other forces are not allowed to interfere.

However, the Hyuga branch family system and the bird in the cage can completely prevent Konoha from interfering with the Hyuga clan.

As a result, Konoha has always loved and hated the Hyuga clan.

The alienation between the Uchiha clan and the village over the years has caused the Hyuga clan's shield to disappear.

The Hyuga clan has also taken over the Uchiha clan's guard team.

Now the Hyuga clan is more difficult than expected.

The guard team is like a quagmire, and it can't get out of it no matter how it is handled. Not only are there a large number of people outside, but they are always held accountable when problems occur.

Hizashi now has little time for training, and most of the time he is busy with a lot of chores.

If Uchiha can come back, even if he is just a listed elder, it will be a good start for the Hyuga clan.

The recently revealed culprit of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Obito, still doesn't know what the follow-up actions will be.

As the front line of Konoha's defense, the garrison, Hinata is under the greatest pressure.

The time and space ninjutsu can easily find loopholes in your patrol.

Natsuki said this and changed the topic: "Well, is Neji in the clan now?"

Hizashi was stunned for a moment, thinking that Natsuki probably just said that.

He relaxed and said casually: "I happen to be at home tonight, and I should still be training right now."

Xia Mu looked up at the sky. The bright moon was hanging high, and it was almost midnight.

"You're still training at this time. Neji is really working hard."

Hizashi also had a smile on his face when he heard this. Neji's talent was indeed very good, and his character was also very good. He had a good relationship with Naruto and Sasuke in the past few years, and occasionally they would have something to eat together after school.

Neji has graduated this year and is now a genin, although the tasks he does every day are relatively simple things.

But Neji did it very well and was very calm.

"Let's go and see your son." Xia Mu said as if on a whim.

Hizashi took Xia Mu all the way to the practice field.

Before entering, I heard constant clapping inside.

Neji was constantly spinning around a wooden man, hitting the red dots on the wooden man's body every time.

The shot was decisive, the position was precise, and the applause was dull.

Even when it came to training, Neji was very serious about it.

Seeing his father come in, Neji immediately stopped and saluted him.

"Father."

Neji lowered his head and looked intently. Although there was someone next to Hizashi, Neji still didn't ask or look more.

Natsuki frowned slightly, although Neji's approach was very thorough in terms of etiquette.

But Ningji is only 12 years old now. He is so old-fashioned at such a young age, which makes Natsuki sigh in his heart.

The Hyuga clan's family rules are too strict.

"Neji, this is the leader of the Uchiha clan, Natsuki Uchiha."

Hizashi introduced Neji.

Neji bowed to Natsuki politely: "Natsuki-sama."

In the last life, Neji didn't wait for Naruto's promise until his death. I don't know what will happen to Neji in this life.

"Have you learned how to recover?" Xia Mu said gently.

Kaitenben is the secret code of the Hyuga clan, and ordinary members of the branch are not allowed to learn it.

Of course, many separated families are not talented enough to learn enough to make a difference.

Neji's ability to learn to return to heaven itself represents his outstanding talent.

Neji looked up at Hizashi. It was only recently that he learned to die, but he didn't expect Natsuki to know about it.

Although Hizashi didn't understand what Natsuki meant, he still nodded towards Neji.

Neji replied: "Go back to Natsuki-sama, we've already met."

"Show me the cast."

Neji took two steps back, stretched out his hands, and released a large amount of chakra from all the chakra acupuncture points in his body. He turned his feet and his whole body rotated rapidly. One chakra formed a semicircular air shield.

Natsuki was sure that the technique of penetration could not break Neji's return.

This is what the plot kills, so Neji's death has no value at all.

At that time, Natsuki was disgusted when he saw this place. Even if he could break through the Kaitian with the penetration technique, Neji might not be able to break through the Kaitian.

At that time, Naruto had the blessing of the Nine-Tails, a base of Sage Mode, could sense good and evil, his clones could fight all the mini-bosses, and his chakra could milk the entire battlefield.

Can this AOE kill him?

Natsuki didn't believe it.

None of the other noobs died, but Neji died, right?

The most shitty thing is that less than twenty-four hours after Neji died, Naruto was praising Obito as the most handsome.

At that time, Natsuki wanted to strangle Naruto to death.

Now Naruto's thoughts must be revised at any time. It is better to drown on the spot than to have such three views.

Natsuki looked at Neji in a daze.

He had too many regrets in his previous life, and Neji was one of them.

Neji's death completely confirmed the fatalism.

The son of the Hokage became the Hokage, the son of the counselor became the counselor, and the son who died for others died for others.

How ironic.

In this life, I will never let you die.

If I let you die again, I will be a fucking bastard!
