Hokage: I Neji will never go offline

Chapter 10 Birds and Beasts in Cages

Being questioned like this, Ning Ci felt guilty all of a sudden. Before leaving, Ning Ci went to Tiantian to tell him something. At that time, he said that he would leave for a few days. Originally, Neci’s plan was to only make one round trip. Just one month.

But Ning Ci completely overestimated the speed of the caravan's progress, and the subsequent training was even more unplanned, and even Ning Ci had completely forgotten about it. Now that he was talking about it every day, he remembered that there was such a thing.

"Tiantian, listen to me, I was supposed to be back in a few days, but there was a little accident, which delayed a little time. It was really just a little accident, didn't I already come back? You say yes? Can we discuss it, can you let me get up first?"

Tian Tian blushed and got off Ning Ci. Ning Ci heaved a sigh of relief and sat up.

"Huh~~Tiantian, you are too ruthless this time, aren't you?"

"Humph!"

Tian Tian folded his hands on his chest, turned his head to one side, and ignored Ning Ci at all, the corner of Ning Ci's mouth twitched, a little at a loss.

"By the way! Tiantian, how did you know I was back? I just entered the house with my front foot, and you came with your back foot. Isn't that too powerful?"

Tian Tian glanced at Ning Ci, holding his head up very proudly.

"Of course, those ninja uncles guarding the gate are regular customers of my house. I give them a [-]% discount when they come to my house to buy things. I asked them to pay special attention to you. They will come and tell me as soon as you come back."

"It's...it's nice to have money."

"Hmph! Don't change the subject. Didn't you say you'll be back in a few days? Where have you been all this time?"

Tian Tian stared at Ning Ci with burning eyes, and Ning Ci stood up, selectively ignoring him.

"Oh! The weather is so nice today, Tian Tian, ​​let's go eat dumplings."

"you!"

"If you don't go, I will go alone."

While speaking, Ning Ci had already stepped out of the door, and looked back at Tian Tian with a slight teasing, Tian Tian followed immediately, and took Ning Ci's hand very naturally.

"Who says no! Let's go!"

"Hehe, then, do you want to call Naruto?"

"No more, bastard!"

Tian Tian kicked Ning Ci's leg angrily, Ning Ci chuckled, and left the room with Tian Tian.

After eating the dumpling, Ningci sent Tiantian home. When they parted, Tiantian also specifically said that he would come to find Ningci tomorrow, and asked Ningci not to run around tomorrow, but Ningci just shrugged and did not express his opinion.

As soon as he left Tiantian's house, Neji turned around and walked towards Naruto's house.

"Knock knock knock!"

Arriving at the door of Naruto's house, Neji knocked on the door. Not long after, the door was opened, and Naruto walked out of the house rubbing his eyes.

"Who is it? What can you do with me?"

"Yo! Naruto, I'm back."

Neji smiled and greeted Naruto, Naruto blinked at Neji, rubbed his eyes again, and after making sure that he read correctly, his face became pleasantly surprised.

"Brother Ning Ci! You are back!"

"Hehe, yes, let's go, Naruto, I'll treat you to ramen."

"Haha! That's great!"

At Yile Ramen Restaurant, Neji ordered Naruto the most luxurious ramen, while Neji, who had already eaten dumplings with him every day, only ordered the smallest ramen.

"Brother Ningci, where have you been for more than a year? You don't even know, so I worry about you every day."

Naruto's words made Neji feel his nose sore, and couldn't help rubbing it with his hands.

"It's nothing, it's just that I've been locked in the cage for a long time, and I just want to go out and have a look."

"Cage? What kind of cage, Brother Ning Ci."

Ning Ci put down his chopsticks, looked left and right for no one, shook his head lightly, and let out a long breath.

"You are a beast in an iron cage, and I am a bird in a cage. A beast is still a threat even if it is in an iron cage. Even if it does something out of line, it will be fine." Problems, but the bird is not a threat, and if it does something that does not conform to its status, it will be dealt with immediately."

While chewing the ramen, Naruto looked at Neji with doubt and bewilderment on his face.

"Brother Ning Ci, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand at all?"

Ning Ci shook his head, chuckled, and patted Naruto's head with his hand.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, one day you will understand what I'm talking about, but, Naruto, if possible, I will leave Konoha next time, I'm afraid I won't come back again, and we will have a good time at that time." It might become an enemy."

"Leave next time? Will you become an enemy? Why? Why did Brother Ning Ci leave?"

Ning Ci took a deep breath, shook his head again, put his mouth close to Naruto's ear and lowered his voice.

"Naruto, I hope you can promise me what I said to you today, don't tell anyone, after I leave, you can tell Tiantian what I just said, okay?"

Naruto's chewing speed slowed down, and he still didn't understand Neji's words, but he still nodded.

"I know, but don't worry, Brother Ning Ci, I will not become an enemy with you! Certainly not!"

"Hehe~~ Yes, definitely not, I believe it too."

After eating ramen, Neji and Naruto walked around the village for a while and went home.

Lying on the bed, Ning Ci took out the scroll he got from the bandit earlier, stared at it for a long time, then shook his head and put it away again.

"Tsk! After being punched in the nose, I actually forgot about it. It really was because the punch hurt so much."

Originally, Ningci was going to show this scroll to Tiantian. Tiantian, a madman who uses a scroll, must be easier to understand what is sealed inside than Ningci. Even if Tiantian is still young and has no ability to crack it, Tiantian can still take Go back and show his parents.

But as soon as he got home, Ning Ci was punched on the nose every day. Ning Ci immediately forgot about it, and only remembered it after lying down.

"Knock knock knock!"

There was another knock on the door, and Ning Ci got off the bed impatiently.

"Who? Can't you just let me have a quiet time when I come back? Is there any urgent matter that can't let me take a day off?"

While complaining, Neji opened the door, and it was Hyuga Tomoma who appeared at the door, and when he saw Neji, he smiled and greeted Neji.

"Ning Ci, are you back? It's been a long time."

Facing Hinata Tomoma's enthusiasm, Neji gave a dead fish eye very shamelessly, and stretched out his hand without saying a word.

"So it's Uncle Fujian, bring it here."

Hyuga Tomima's smile froze instantly, and he looked at Neji blankly.

"Take, take what?"

"What, what? Uncle Fujian, you came here by yourself, and now you are pretending to be stupid? Of course, it is living expenses. It is 5000 taels a month. I have been away from Konoha for more than a year. Shouldn't the living expenses be given to me during these times?" ? I’m not such a stingy person, so just give it to me as a whole year, and I don’t want a fraction, just give me 6 taels.”
