Hokage: I Neji will never go offline

Ning Ci opened the scroll, and there were dense symbols written in the scroll, which Ning Ci could not understand at all, but Ning Ci still put the scroll away.

"Okay, see you then."

"Hey~ let's go, Junmaro."

Orochimaru and Junmaro dodged and disappeared in front of Neji. Neji shrugged, stood up, and looked at Shiro and Ranmaru.

At this moment, Ranmaru was still hiding behind Shiro, until Neji's eyes swept over before sticking out his head.

"What's the matter? Ranmaru, are you afraid of him?"

With a look of hesitation on Ranmaru's face, he shook his head slightly.

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that that person is too cold. Just looking at it, Lanwan felt chills all over his body, and he also had a strong murderous aura. He seemed to have killed many people."

"Hehe, he is Orochimaru. In the future, he may encounter enemies who are colder than him. If this happens every time, there is no way to fight the enemy. You have to adapt slowly."

Ranmaru bit her lip and nodded, Shiro took Ranmaru's hand again and smiled at Ranmaru.

A few months later, Ningci was lying on the grassland where he and Itachi had separated before, crossing his legs, looking at the sky boredly, while Shiro and Ranmaru were practicing gymnastics beside him.

"Lan Wan, your steps are a bit messy. You need to grasp the rhythm of your breathing, otherwise you will get tired easily. You must save your energy to the greatest extent so that you will not be suppressed when you are fighting the enemy with the spell."

"Ha! I see, Brother Bai!"

Ranmaru kept attacking, while Shiro kept dodging.

In the past few months, Ranmaru has been eating well and sleeping well every day. Even Neji feels that Bai is a bit biased. In addition, Shiro uses medical ninjutsu to help Ranmaru recuperate every day. Now Ranmaru is completely normal.

In order to improve Ranmaru's physique, Bai has practiced against Ranmaru every day for the past half month. At first, Ranmaru could only last for more than ten minutes, but now Ranmaru has been practicing with Bai for half an hour.

More than ten minutes later, Ranwan's legs went limp, and she knelt down on the ground panting, sweat kept rolling down her cheeks, Bai also stopped moving, and helped Lanwan up from the ground.

"It lasted 5 minutes longer than yesterday, that's amazing, Ranmaru."

Ranmaru raised his head with a smile on his tired face.

"Really? Great!"

"Hehe~~ Yes, come on, take a rest, and I will accompany you to climb the tree after the rest is over."

"Ok!"

Shiro and Ranmaru came to sit next to Ning Ci, and Ning Ci squinted at Shiro, and smacked his lips a little impatiently.

"Bai, are you sure the meeting time Itachi said is today? I've been waiting here for an hour, why haven't you come yet?"

"Master Ning Ci, Mr. Itachi sent me the news yesterday that we will meet here today. Please be a little more patient."

Ning Ci pouted, sat up from the ground, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and threw it to Ranmaru.

"I said, why can you keep in touch with Itachi? I don't even have a way to contact Itachi, isn't this too strange?"

"Ah... well, because I was more worried about Itachi-sama's physical condition when I was making money with Itachi-sama, so I established contact with Itachi-sama."

Ranmaru looked at Neji curiously while wiping his sweat with the handkerchief Neji threw over.

"Master Ning Ci, what kind of person is Master Itachi that you and Brother Bai mentioned?"

Before Neji could answer, Shiro put his hand on Ranmaru's head first, and smiled at Ranmaru.

"Itachi-sama is Neji-sama's partner and friend, and he is a very gentle person."

"Really? Is it as gentle as Lord Neji?"

Ranmaru looked at Ningji innocently, Ningji turned his head to one side in embarrassment, and Shiro covered his mouth and smiled lightly.

After another ten minutes, a black spot appeared in the distance, and as the black spot got bigger, the figure of Itachi gradually appeared.

Ning Ci immediately stood up and waved to Itachi in the distance. When Itachi saw Ning Ci, a smile appeared on his face, and he waved to Ne Ci as well.

"It's so slow, Itachi, what have you been doing these past few months?"

"Sorry, I have dealt with some personal matters, and now it's over. Speaking of which, who is this?"

Itachi turned his gaze to Ranmaru, Neji also turned his gaze to Ranmaru, and was about to introduce Ranmaru to Itachi when he saw Ranmaru looking at Itachi with extremely frightened eyes, Neji was stunned for a moment, and then the first thought in his mind The first thought was whether Ranmaru had been hit by Itachi's illusion.

"what!"

At this moment, Ran Wan suddenly hugged his head in pain and fell to the ground, tears kept streaming down from Ran Wan's eyes.

"Hey! Ranmaru! Ranmaru, what's wrong with you?"

Neji hurriedly helped Ranmaru up, and Shiro quickly used medical ninjutsu to help Ranmaru stabilize his emotions.

The pain on Ranmaru's face gradually disappeared, and she turned her head to look at Itachi stiffly, her lips trembling slightly.

"It's so dark, so painful, why? It's so painful, why can you still laugh? It's strange, isn't it?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Itachi's eyes, and he turned to look at Neji, who lightly touched Ranmaru's forehead and smiled warmly at Ranmaru.

"Ranmaru, what did you just see?"

Ranmaru shook his head stiffly, blinked, lowered his head, and stopped looking at Itachi.

"I just... saw hell, that hell is in Itachi-sama's heart, it is a hell made of darkness, despair, pain..."

"Ranmaru..."

Neji took a deep breath, and when he noticed Itachi was looking at Ranmaru with worried eyes, Neji's eyes became complicated.

Ranmaru can see the emotions in other people's hearts, and the reason why Ranmaru did this just now is because he saw Itachi's hidden emotions in his heart.

Ranmaru was in pain just seeing it, as if under an illusion. Neji really couldn't imagine how painful Itachi's heart was, but even though it was so painful, Itachi was still able to act as if nothing had happened.

"Bai, you take Ranmaru first and let him have a good rest. Itachi and I have something to talk about alone."

"Yes!"

Bai responded, hugged Ranmaru in his arms, turned and left.

After Shiro walked away completely, Neji sat down and winked at Itachi, and at the same time patted the ground beside him, Itachi shrugged and sat down next to Neji.

Looking at the sun that was gradually setting to the west, Ning Ci took a deep breath, his eyes showing nostalgia.

"Itachi, after all, we haven't sat down and chatted like this for a long time, maybe five or six years."

Itachi nodded, with nostalgia in his eyes.

"Yeah, it's been a long time. Before we knew it, we've been away from Konoha for four years. Neji, you'll be 12 next month, right? You've already grown so tall. When you left with me, you And a little kid I could hold in one hand."
