Chapter 903 Afterglow

He is also a son of a wealthy family from the ninja clan. Hyuga Neji's talent is a little better than Kurama Yakumo. After the Byakugan awakens, his starting point is slightly inferior to that of Genjutsu Kaikai, but his potential is even better.

Due to his status as a separate family, Hyuga Neji's soft fist training was not as good as that of Hyuga Hinata and Hinata Hanabi. Even so, relying on his unparalleled talent, he evened the gap and even surpassed the two clansmen. Miss.

Unfortunately, in reality, it is difficult to have a relaxed environment for Hyuga Neji to quietly accumulate strength.

The genius boy who has been thinking about ways to break the situation has thought about many possibilities. The Kurama family, whose influence in Konoha Village has declined, is ranked very low on the list for help.

However, among those who have the ability to interfere, there are a few who are willing to offend the Hyuga family and speak for a mere chuunin!

"With all due respect, it would be difficult for the Kurama family to intervene. If it's too troublesome, I might not be able to pay the price..."

After thinking for a while, Hyuga Neji did not refuse Kurama Yakumo's kindness out of unnecessary pride, but asked very pragmatically.

"It's not the Kurama family, it's me!"

The girl corrected,

"The Kurama family only has a little bit of ancestral glory left that is about to dissipate. It has no ability to influence a behemoth like the Hyuga family..."

"Then...what are you going to do?"

"Leverage! The relationship between people is not close, but it is not as far as you think. After a few turns, you can always find someone to help you!"

"Are you asking for a favor?"

Hinata Neji understood.

Humans are social animals, connected by bonds near and far.

The favor I got from helping Hinata Neji out of trouble would have to be returned sooner or later. The value of a favor was somewhat inestimable if it was visible and tangible and easy to negotiate.

In the final analysis, the final price has to be paid by Hyuga Neji, the source of the incident.

This is actually overdrafting the future to save the present, and the risk is definitely not small. However, Hyuga Neji doesn't have many choices now.

"Can you let me know who took action in the end?"

Kurama Yakumo smiled and shook his head:

"You don't need to worry about others, just come to me when the time comes. Even if there are other problems, they won't be found on you!"

"Then...please!"

"You're welcome! The genius who is so indistinguishable from me is so distressed by trivial matters. Doesn't it look like I have no ability?"

Anyway, it was done casually, and Kurama Yakumo didn't really need to invest any money, just a few words.

…

Two days later, the transfer order signed by the Hokage was officially sent to the residence of the Hyuga clan leader. Hyuga Neji became the first batch of members of the "Sniper Team". Along with him, Kurama Yakumo, who won the final victory in the Chunin Exam, and Kurama Yakumo, who also performed the same Excellent Aburame Shino and Nara Shikamaru.

The original ninja team has not been disbanded, but they no longer complete low-level tasks as frequently as before.

In addition to Konoha ninjas, those who were transferred to the "sniper team" were Suna ninjas Murasaki and Chaofeng.

The mission target of the "Sniper Team" is not dangerous S-class renegade ninjas. The level of danger is slightly lower than that of the "Rescue Team", but it is still far from safe.

Recruiting these "stars of hope" obviously has the intention of "destroying growth".

Originally, Konoha Village and Sunagakure Village did not need to be so eager for quick success, but the threat from the "Akatsuki" organization was getting bigger and bigger, and many senior ninjas could no longer spare their time to deal with the minions.

Seeing the unexpected recruitment order, Hinata Hizu breathed a sigh of relief.

After so many years of being the clan leader, Hinata and Hinashi were very confident, but reality poured cold water on them. The huge inertia formed by nearly a thousand years of tradition made it as ridiculous as trying to make a slight change.

It was impossible to save the life of his younger brother Hyuga Hizashi back then, and now it is very difficult to save his nephew Hyuga Neji.

The caged bird is not only a powerful weapon for the clan to restrain the separated families, but also a means for the separated families to rely on the clan to fulfill their obligations.

The so-called "necessary sacrifice" is so heavy that even the clan leader is only an important part of the Hyuga family's classic car.

Hinata Hinata, who had realized something, recalled the feeling of relief when the ancestors of the clan handed over the position of clan leader to him.

After handing over the order from the Hokage to Hyuga Neji, Hyuga Hizashi solemnly said:

"It's a bit unexpected. This is not my arrangement, but it is still a good place! Ninjas should prove themselves on the battlefield. This is your opportunity, and it is also an opportunity for the family. Go and let others see Hinata's glory... "

It is impossible for the closed-minded Hyuga clan leader to seek external forces to deal with dissidents in the clan. It is a taboo to recruit outsiders to attack his compatriots.

The clan leader, who had initially thought that the village did not want to see the Hyuga family split due to too fierce internal fighting, sighed secretly in his heart.

As time went by, Ninja Village became more and more controlling within the village. Even the Uchiha family was uprooted, and the Hyuga family had no confidence to resist.

The Konoha ninjas come first, and then the Hyuga clan members. There is no conflict between the two, but sometimes they have to compete.

Taking the document stamped with the Hokage's stamp, Hinata Neji, who knew full well that Kurama Yakumo was responsible, lowered his head slightly:

"I understand, thank you Patriarch for your care during this time!"

"I've said it several times, you don't have to be so embarrassed in private!"

Hinata Hizashi, who could not hide his self-deprecation in his tone, said,

"Hinata and Hanabi are in the front yard. Go say hello and report! Nara Shikaku is a very good leader and should value your talents. If necessary, you can come back at any time. Although the family is in chaos, it will always be Your backing..."

Hinata Neji, who bowed again, accepted his promise, and then left very calmly, with the original prying eyes disappearing, as if the previous dirty things did not exist.

…

In a secret experiment that cost a lot of money to build, Kurama Yakumo is enjoying his leisure time after the intense experiment.

"I didn't have any special preferences before, but now I am a little fond of fresh tea. The special soil and climate of Awaji Village, and the tea trees cultivated, do have an unusual charm..."

"I'll bring you some more next time!"

A strange man with a devil mask and a total of eight arms stood not far away, motionless, but a big sound came from behind the mask.

"What I'm missing is your tea? Tell me, you're the one who invited me to talk in detail. Why is there only one weird-looking puppet here?"

Kurama Yakumo snorted angrily.

"We won't be able to leave for a while. Naruto Village is in dire need of reconstruction, and all kinds of order must be established from scratch!"

"I think Temari is staring at you, so you don't have time to run away!"

"This... doesn't count!"

There was no hint of embarrassment in the puppet's tone, and he admitted frankly,

"The 23rd of this month is Temari's birthday!"

If I didn't have time before, it would be fine if I couldn't make the trip. But it would be a bit unreasonable to leave with an excuse even though I have time.

"It's really superficial. Do you think Temari likes you to celebrate her birthday?"

"She doesn't care, but I can't pretend not to know!"

How can the interactions between people be calculated so clearly?

"It's really hard work to have a mental talent!"

Kurama Yakumo sighed.

It's not easy to be used to seeing people's hearts and still have a passion for life. Just like what happened to Hinata Neji not long ago, it wasn't very complicated, but the gap between people's hearts made it so difficult to clarify small things that could have been easily dealt with.

In the end, external forces had to intervene to break the deadlock.

"It's easy to lose the ability to 'love' after seeing too much! It's because of my special circumstances that I have not become insensitive and unkind. In comparison, you are even more rare..."

From an adult's perspective, it's a bit unbearable to look at Kurama Yakumo's experiences over the years. The loss of blood inheritance limits made her accustomed to seeing people's hearts when she was young and mentally retarded. In fact, Quite rare.

Hatake Kakashi has abandoned himself for more than ten years because of his father's suicide. Uchiha Obito degenerated to the point of wanting to destroy the world because his crush was killed. Kurama Yakumo personally killed many relatives, including his parents, without knowing what to do. How many times worse.

"Because I discovered that there are idiots like you in this world, which gives me some hope. Maybe I can see more interesting people and things..."

"Like Hyuga Neji?"

"He? So-so! He looks cold, but he is actually a young man who attaches great importance to family ties. His majestic appearance is just a camouflage to protect himself!"

"The key is talent, which is indeed enviable!"

If Daimaru relied on the fortune and cleverness of the prophet to reach this point, Kurama Yakumo enjoyed the gift of the blood of his ancestors.

Hyuga Neji is undoubtedly a real genius. With his Byakugan and Soft Fist, he is even more powerful. Even if he loses these two things, he can still become an outstanding young ninja. If he were not born in this era, there are Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke. With these two accidents, he is the well-deserved talent king.

"Thanks to you this time, it would be quite troublesome if I did it by myself!"

Kurama Yakumo said with a smile.

It is undoubtedly impossible to rely on the strength of the Kurama family to promote the political affairs of Konoha Village. If you want to get Hyuga Neji out of trouble, you must use illusion to hypnotize a large number of people.

It is definitely not a problem to do it, but not only is it not easy to operate, there is also the possibility of being exposed and causing greater risks.

Therefore, it would be much easier for Daimaru to secretly tell Sunagakure to push.

The Konoha ninjas who still needed the cooperation of the Suna ninjas just went with the flow. This "little thing" was easily accomplished with the efforts of many parties and the tacit understanding of a few people and turning a blind eye.

"It's easy to do with a little effort, and there may be places that need him in the future, so it would be a good idea to sell him a favor!"

"You are very optimistic about him. Is he one of the 'children of destiny' in this 'big era'?"

"It's a pity that you guessed wrong this time. The Hinata family has another heel, so there's no need for Byakugan this time!"

In the next generation, the hero who saves the world will be the owner of the Byakugan, but his surname is no longer Hinata.

"I always feel that asking you for help is exactly what you want. Are you planning something else?"

"It's too early to say that now!"

Daimaru didn't mean to hide it deliberately, but some things were only in his imagination and there was no basis for implementation.

"So, this time's 'saviors' are Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke. I believe someone who cares has noticed how extraordinary they are!"

The turbulent generation in Konoha Village, if the equally outstanding Hyuga Neji is excluded, only Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke meet the requirements.

"Actually, if you think about it, you will know that Hyuga Neji's 'protagonist attributes' are not enough. His bloodline attributes are full, but he is already known, and there is no 'storytelling'; his parents are dead, but there is no blood feud, and his personality is not passionate enough. , not contagious. He is a good companion, but he cannot lead an era!"

The encounter between Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke is undoubtedly very "standard", and is more "rooted and mature" than the protagonists of many heroic novels.

"We are really arrogant to treat the upcoming magnificent era as a story like a heroic legend..."

"The eyes of reincarnation have appeared in the world, and myths are about to return. No matter how bizarre things are, you must be willing to accept them!"

Daimaru has revealed a lot of information in a circumstantial manner, and it has brought about a lot of changes in the current situation of the ninja world, but fundamental changes have not happened yet.

"I always feel that you are hiding something. If you plan to do something with Hyuga Neji's help, be sure to bring me with you! There is always a feeling that it would be a pity to miss it..."

"Can!"

After all, Kurama Yakumo is also a feared genjutsu ninja with great strength, so he should be able to help a lot.

"Let's get down to business! Are those secret techniques of yours preparing to restart the path of Shinto in the Chunin Examination?"

"It doesn't count! It can be clearly seen that there are remnants of gods and monsters in Kurama's bloodline, and it is normal to follow the path of 'divine enlightenment', but..."

Kurama Yakumo's eyes flashed, and he seemed to see Daimaru lazily basking in the sun on the south coast through endless time and space.

"The road has disappeared to the point where not even a few words are left, and it doesn't seem to be anything special. We still have to combine the path of the ninja, take advantage of the situation, and open up a new road!"

"That's good! I'm also worried that you will be confused by those roads that seem to go straight to the end! Time has changed, and now is the era of ninjas. Any choice that goes against the trend is not advisable. The power of God will indeed This world is now, but it is also the afterglow of the end..."

Even the samurai were suppressed by the ninja and were forced to survive in a corner. How could there be room for those losers of history to make trouble again?

"The Suna Ninja have a lot of ninjutsu inheritance that have been improved from Shinto. There will only be more in Konoha Village. If you are interested, you can collect some and learn from them."

"I understand this, and I won't try it randomly! Anyway, thank you for reminding me. Also, Saya, who has a very bad temper, seems to be following a similar path. Aren't you worried about her?"

"Miss Saya is a puppet master after all. Her family inheritance allows her to avoid many traps..."

In contrast, the Kurama family, which is about to become a secular business tycoon, is even more worrying.
