Chapter 409 It’s your life in exchange
Natsuki finished communicating with Orochimaru.
So I went out first, since it was almost Easter day anyway.
It's better to use this to fool Neji.
Natsuki first used the transformation technique, and then sneaked all the way to Hinata's house.
The security in Konoha Village was temporarily taken over by the Sarutobi clan, and Natsuki saw Asuma dealing with security issues on the road.
It feels decent and there seems to be no problem in the short term.
Asma was also in a very bad state of mind and kept smoking one cigarette after another.
After all, his father, the Third Hokage, died as soon as he said he would die, and he still couldn't accept this fact.
Natsuki also heard many words of praise for the Third Hokage on the road, most of which came from the mouths of the Sarutobi clan.
Natsuki spent a lot of time sneaking into the Hyuga clan.
The Hyuga clan is now sorting through the ruins and counting the dead.
There were not only people from the Hinata branch, but also ANBU sent by Orochimaru.
Xia Mu walked around several times before finding an acquaintance.
Hyuga Yuto.
Hyuga Yugito was very tired, Hizashi died, and Neji became blind.
Basically all the powerful people in the branch are dead, and now many things need to be dealt with by him.
He was really powerless.
Or he himself feels that he is not capable.
But at this time, whether it works or not, it must be done.
"A brave man."
A voice startled Yugito, and he didn't even know who ran up to him.
When he looked up, it was Natsuki.
The brave man was shocked:
"Master Xiamu, why are you back?"
Natsuki raised his index finger, signaling Yugito to be quiet.
"I heard something happened to you Hinata, so I came back specially to see if I could help."
Yong Ren smiled reluctantly:
"Master Xiamu, I'm afraid you can't be of much help in this clan's current situation."
Xia Mu shook his head:
"Then leave it alone and tell me where Neji is first?"
Yongto knew that Natsuki and Hizashi had a good relationship, so he didn't hide it from Natsuki and directly told Natsuki about Neji's room.
Natsuki quietly walked into Neji's room.
Neji lay on the bed, crying with his blind eyes open.
Hizashi only had this son, and he had taken good care of him and raised him with care since he was a child.
The feelings between the two can be imagined.
Scene after scene of getting along with my father flashed through my mind.
Neji couldn't help but feel sad.
My father's death was so unworthy. He had done so much for the clan, and yet he died so mysteriously.
Neji punched the edge of the bed hatefully, even his white eyes went blind because of it.
This is the caged bird, is this fate?
Neji began to hate the caged bird above his head.
He is also full of resentment towards the clan leader and resentment towards the entire Hyuga family's tradition of clan separation.
Neji clenched his fists, his face sometimes sad and sometimes resentful.
Xia Mu watched for a long time.
Based on Ningji's experience, it would be a good start for the male protagonist.
So should I play the role of grandpa?
Xia Mu was in random thoughts.
He said something out of nowhere.
"Young man, do you long for power?"
"Who?"
Neji was shocked, this was his room, why was there anyone else?
He had no idea when it came or how long it had been here.
Xia Mu came to his senses, a little embarrassed, and got into trouble.
Fortunately, Neji couldn't see him now.
"Neji-chan, you're so cute, you can't even recognize my voice." Natsuki teased.
Neji heard it this time.
He is his father's friend and the leader of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Natsuki.
"Senior Xia Mu, why are you here?"
When Neji exhaled, he felt a little depressed and choked up.
"Father has..."
Natsuki interrupted Neji:
"What does it look like to cry?"
"When a problem arises, you should think about how to solve it, instead of crying here."
Natsuki didn't say it was okay, but she burst into tears as soon as she mentioned Neji.
Other things can be solved, but my father is dead, how can I solve this?
Natsuki grinned, okay, it's better to just say it, otherwise Neji would be too miserable:
"Okay, don't cry. There is a way to save your father."
Neji was stunned for a moment, waving his hand and grabbing Natsuki's clothes.
"Senior Natsuki, are you telling the truth?"
Natsuki patted Neji's hand:
"It's true, but there's a price to pay."
Neji grabbed Natsuki's hand with his backhand:
"Senior Natsuki, I am willing to accept it no matter what the price."
"Um……"
Xia Mu pretended to say: "What if it is your life?"
Neji didn't even think about it:
"I am already a useless person. If I can exchange my father's life, I am willing."
Neji's dedication made Natsuki smack his lips.
No wonder you would risk your life as Naruto to block the knife for Hinata.
What a good kid.
"Okay, it's a deal, your life will be mine from now on."
Neji said stupidly: "Natsuki-senpai, what did you say?"
Natsuki repeated:
"I said, come with me now to save Hizashi."
"Really?" Neji couldn't believe it.
My father is dead.
Xia Mu laughed:
"When did I, Natsuki Uchiha, tell lies?"
"You just said that you would trade your life for your father's life."
Neji quickly grabbed Natsuki's clothes, as if grasping the last straw.
Neji lowered his voice: "Senior Natsuki, keep your word!"
Natsuki responded with a hello and quickly knocked Neji unconscious.
Just put Neji in the sack.
Anyway, Neji's eyesight is not convenient now, so it will be faster to take Neji there.
After leaving a note.
Natsuki took advantage of the chaos in the Hyuga clan and quietly carried Neji out.
……
Orochimaru Laboratory.
Because Hizashi was already a dead man, Orochimaru acted very quickly.
He quickly removed the piece of cranial nerve that carried the caged bird and a pair of useless Byakugan.
Orochimaru took a few minutes to get everything done.
Next thing is to wait for Natsuki.
Not long after, Natsuki returned from the secret passage Orochimaru left for Natsuki.
Orochimaru saw that Natsuki also brought a bag.
Someone was obviously tied up.
"Xiamu, what are you doing?"
Xia Mu said matter-of-factly: "I kidnap people, don't you know how to watch?"
Then he released the unconscious Neji.
"This kid has a lot of talent. Let's see if we can unlock his caged bird."
Orochimaru came over and checked Neji's eyes.
"Interesting, the secret seal of the caged bird didn't burn him to death, it just disabled his eyes."
"We can try to make him fake death to avoid the reaction of the caged bird."
Orochimaru had just studied the principle of caged birds when he encountered a special situation here.
The secret seal of the caged bird was not fully used, so it was only half burned. Now he is blind, but his brain nerves are not damaged.
Now the Caged Bird Seal is in the process of re-accumulating chakra.
If Neji is allowed to fake his death, he should be able to disable the caged bird.
Orochimaru removes the caged bird again.
"Then let me try."
Orochimaru looked happy and lifted Neji up and placed him on the operating bed.
After taking the drug, Neji went from a coma to a state of suspended animation.
