Hokage: I will never go offline

Konoha Village, the Hinata clan.

Family gate, doorway.

The door is open.

However, it was very quiet.

"Hey, is there no one? The door is open?"

As soon as Ino and Neji stepped in, they were very sensitive.

She has never been to the Hyuga Clan, and this time she came only because of Neji. She is not a person who usually touches unknown things.

So in my heart, I was somewhat vigilant.

"Well, it's okay."

Ning Ci only walked in front, he only wanted to see Hinata as soon as possible, and nothing happened.

And Ino was behind, hesitating.

Ning Ci glanced back at her and said, "Don't worry, the gate of the Hyuga Clan is usually guarded, but because of the recent incidents in the village, I am afraid that the clan has received a little impression, and there are usually no outsiders. It's normal for the gatekeeper to leave when you come in. Although it's true that he left his post without authorization, but...I usually can't control these things."

"Oh……"

Ino then followed. The vicinity was deserted and there was an inexplicable mist.

The two walked slowly towards the inside.

"It's so big, Hyuga Clan."

Ino sighed.

Neji said: "Ah, that's right. The Hyuga family is located on the edge of the village, and the land here is relatively wide. It was just expanded a few years ago."

"so……"

As the two walked, the quiet atmosphere around made Ino a little uneasy.

But she was embarrassed to ask. After all, Neji said just now that this is a normal situation. I heard Neji say that the clan will occasionally hold clan meetings before. Although the mountain clan is not so closed, it is similar.

"Speaking of which, it is thanks to you, Neji, that I was able to advance to the Chunin this time."

To keep the atmosphere from being awkward, Ino said.

Such a quiet atmosphere made her a lot more nervous, trying to relax.

As Ning Ci walked, a stiff smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Um……"

Suddenly, Ning Ci said again: "Ino, do you still remember when we trained together?"

"Huh? Well, I remember."

"At that time, we seemed to be missing a link and didn't practice." Ning Ci said, and the two continued to walk.

"Yes, what is it?"

"Cooperate, we have never had a team battle. This time in Konoha, we became teammates for an unprecedented time, what do you think?" Neji did not turn his head, but continued to walk with Ino.

"Hmm..." Ino hesitated.

"Ino."

Ning Ci said suddenly.

"Let's hurry up, things are not right in the village."

Afterwards, Ning Ci quickened his pace and lowered his voice, "Pay attention to your surroundings, I will definitely protect you."

Neji ninja rushed forward, and Ino was stunned, a little stunned.

Why did Neji suddenly say this just now?
The surrounding fog was getting thicker and thicker. In just a few seconds, Ning Ci ran so far that Ino could hardly see his back.

"and many more!"

She followed quickly.

I was silently thinking about something.

What exactly does Neji mean?

The two came to a place, and Ning Ci looked up, and there was a house with a yard inside.

The dense fog above is even thicker, all of which indicates that something is wrong with the Hyuga Clan today.

As for Ning Ci, his expression was obviously abnormal, but Ning Ci didn't say anything, didn't say anything...

Afraid of eavesdropping?
Ino suddenly realized this terrifying question.

teamwork! ?
"That is to say, has it come to such a time?" Ino thought to himself.

Having been with Ning Ci for so long, he never talked nonsense. This abnormality is obvious.

So……

"Ino, you go in first."

Ning Ci pushed them away, and Ino walked in, although he was scared in his heart.

The surroundings were silent, there was no one around, and the thick fog drifted in the air. If the two of them separated by ten steps, the background would be blurred unexpectedly.

Ning Ci said that he would protect himself, and Ino used this to reassure himself and move forward boldly.

Footsteps sounded, and Ino turned his head vigilantly!

...a false alarm.

It's Neji.

Ning Ci walked in slowly, with a confused expression on his face.

"This is Hinata's clan, why is there no one there?" Neji murmured, and then walked forward alone, as if he couldn't see Ino the whole time.

"That sentence, did you say it to me? I already know it, Neji!" Ino also walked forward. Neji was obviously playing charades. The opponent is likely to be a member of the Hyuga clan. Investigative power, the two can't startle the snake.

"In this case, hurry up and find Hinata!" Ino quickly followed Neji and overtook him.

Ning Ci was taken aback, and his heart sank.

It seemed that Ino also realized that something was wrong. It would be strange if he didn't notice such an abnormal fog and silent atmosphere.

With a "squeak", the door was pushed open.

"Boom boom boom!"

As soon as the door was pushed open, there was a loud noise.

Both of them were vigilant, and saw that one of them fell to the ground with a loud crash.

"what is this?"

Ino frowned and was about to step forward.

And Ning Ci went to hold her hand.

"I gonna go see."

Ning Ci went forward.

The room is quite spacious, and the door is directly facing a mourning hall, with many spiritual tablets placed on it.

The fallen door is on the right side, and it should be connected to a room, but the door will not fall down for no reason. From Neji's words, it is clear that this is the main family, and it should be far more important than this.

"Boom"!
There was a loud bang, and a huge wind blew by.

The instant and intensity of that power made Ino unable to stand up.

Ning Ci was hit flying far away by the flying palm, smashed through the wooden wall at the other end, and fell to the ground.

That person suppressed Neji, and then quickly formed a seal with one hand.

"One-handed...!?" Ino was surprised.

Afterwards, a strange warlock sealed Ning Ci's body, and he lay down lifeless on the ground.

"Huh? Why is there a strange little girl here to die?"

That person has a pair of white eyes of the Hyuga clan, but his face is so ugly that he doesn't look like a person, but he can be seen as a person.

Ino swallowed.

"What the hell are you? Why did you attack Neji?"

"..."

The other party looked at Ino, but didn't answer.

"If you are not a member of the Hyuga clan, you should be able to kill him directly as a sacrifice, right?"

His words made Ino swallow his saliva.

"who are you?"

The man seemed to finally hear Ino's words, and laughed twice.

"Who am I? I'm just a failed experiment, hehe..."

When he answered, Ino gritted his teeth and made a seal.

"The art of turning the heart!"

"Woo!"
His mind seemed to be controlled in an instant, and his eyes widened.

Ino frowned, but found that he was still in place!

"call out"!
"So fast!"

Ino jumped up, that person's speed was very fast.

"Hey, what a strange ninjutsu, it was almost controlled by you?" The man opened his mouth, and even the teeth in his mouth were like piranhas.

Ino jumped to the side, and quickly made another seal: "Ninja method, the art of distracting the heart!"

"Again?"

The man was trying to struggle, but he was hit.

The whole person danced uncontrollably, but his consciousness was clear.

"What the hell did you do to me?" He was terrified.

Ino shed a drop of cold sweat: "This is a practical ninjutsu that is far more powerful than the art of turning around. Although it cannot be used to investigate intelligence, it can be used to assist in attacks."

"Hey, so what? After the operation is over, you still have to die!"

The other party wasn't afraid, but the corner of Ino's mouth twitched.

"Bang"!
The body of Ning Ci, who was sealed over there, suddenly disappeared.

"Shadow Clone!? When?"

Ning Ci sprang out from behind Ino, with a swift and violent palm, like the stride of the wind.

"boom"!
Hitting that person with a palm, the whole person didn't fly away, but all the chakras in his body were shocked, as if standing still, the huge palm force almost controlled all the flow of his chakras!
Then, he fell heavily to the ground.

Ino smiled and said, "It seems...we still have a tacit understanding?"
