In Konoha: My canned food shop is very popular in the ninja world

Chapter 140: Neji, you've been to the jar shop! The impact of Wood Release, Sarutobi Hiruzen's ugly face

When the ninjas present saw the corpse at the scene, their expressions changed one by one.

Without any hesitation, someone immediately took me to the hospital.

Some people also cordoned off the scene and ran to report to the Third Hokage.

"there."

The entrance of the jar shop.

Lin Mo sat at the door, looking in the direction of the explosion.

Looking at the ninja who walked quickly past him, his expression was extremely strange.

There was such a sudden and loud explosion that he didn't think it was caused by a detonating talisman.

"Could it be Tiantian's missile?"

Thinking of the missiles fired every day, Lin Mo rubbed his brows.

What happened again that caused Tiantian to launch that thing?

This is what the last air-dropped bomb looked like.

The same is true of today's missiles.

"never mind."

Shaking his head, Lin Mo went back to the house and ignored all this.

It has nothing to do with him anyway.

"The most urgent task is to refine the chakra and store it, and then transform it into mana accumulation."

"Using magic power to perform earth evil techniques or those ninjutsu, I feel that the power is even stronger than the original one."

"Now, what you need to practice is the Eight Gates and an Operation Fruit. You just need to master the Bloodline Limit."

Thinking of the means he now possessed, Lin Mo narrowed his eyes and performed the clone technique to create three clones.

Arrange three clones, one to read the scrolls recording the Eight Gates Ninjutsu and become proficient in it, one to master the surgery fruit, and one to master the bloodline limit.

As for his original form, he chose to refine the chakra and then transform the chakra into mana and accumulate it.

Since he had better magic power, it was impossible for him to use chakra to activate ninjutsu or display certain abilities.

When Lin Mo was refining chakra and transforming chakra into magic power.

Hyuga clan.

Hyuga Hiashi was standing in the courtyard with Hyuga Neji.

Slowly turned his gaze away from the noise.

He has already arranged for the Hyuga clan's secret guards to investigate the situation.

"Master Sunzu."

At this time, Hyuga Neji looked at Hyuga Hiashi in front of him and asked calmly, "What's the matter with you calling me here?"

He really doesn't understand.

Why would Hinata Hiashi, who I haven't met many times, come to find me?

"Shh!"

In response to Hyuga Neji's words, powerful chakra surged from Hyuga Hiashi's body, gathered in his hands, and suddenly hit Hyuga Neji hard.

"boom!"

The air exploded.

Hyuga Neji instantly felt the strong sense of oppression from Hyuga Hiashi, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

The chakra in his body was running rapidly. He stepped back subconsciously, and with a light step, he instantly displayed the Lingbo Weibu technique he had mastered.

Hyuga Neji's figure disappeared like water waves, turning into an afterimage and easily avoiding Hyuga Hiashi's surprise attack.

There was a loud bang in the air, and Hyuga Hiashi's palm was fierce and hit the place where Neji had just stood, bringing up a strong airflow and raising the dust on the ground.

However, Neji was already standing a few steps away, his face full of shock, anger and confusion.

He never thought that the head of the Hyuga clan, his nominal elder, would suddenly attack him without any warning.

"Master Rizu! What are you doing?"

Neji couldn't help but ask sharply, anger and confusion barely concealed in his voice.

But the next second, Neji was shocked.

Because he found that Hinata Hiashi didn't seem surprised at all by his agile dodge.

Hiashi did not continue to attack, but stood there quietly with a calm expression, as if he had already expected that Neji could easily dodge.

Seeing this, Neji instinctively took a step back, staring at Hiashi.

"really."

Hyuga Hiashi spoke slowly, looked at Hyuga Neji calmly, and said softly: "You have been to the jar shop."

Hinata Hiashi's tone was flat, but every word carried great weight, as if a heavy stone was pressing on Neji's heart.

Neji instantly felt a chill spreading down his spine, and a storm of emotions suddenly rose in his heart.

He never expected that Hinata Hiashi not only knew the existence of the jar shop, but could even see at a glance that he had been there.

Even testing him!

You know, even though he had developed this Lingbo Weibu, he had never used it in his family.

It was only used when fighting against Rock Lee.

There was no way Rock Lee would tell on the secret.

He hasn't come back in the past few days.

How did Hinata Hiashi know this?

In the face of Hyuga Neji's shock, Hyuga Hiashi put his hands behind his back, his expression calm and without any fluctuation.

"Snapped!"

The next second, Hinata Hiashi swung his hand and something was thrown over.

Seeing the thing being thrown at him, Hyuga Neji jumped back subconsciously and did not catch it.

"Clap!"

Something fell to the ground with a loud sound of coins colliding.

Hyuga Neji was shocked.

What is Hinata Hiashi doing?
The next second, Hinata Hiashi waved his hand again, and a purse flew out again.

This time, Hyuga Neji reached out to take it, feeling the heavy weight. Hyuga Neji didn't understand and looked confused.

"A person can only open ten jars a week. You definitely don't have the money to open extra jars. This is the money the family owes you for opening the jars."

Hinata Hiashi put his hands behind his back, looked at Neji and said softly: "If it's not enough, you can come to me directly."

"why?"

Hearing what Hyuga Hiashi said, Hyuga Neji frowned.

He didn't understand.

Since Hinata Hiashi knew the magic of the jar shop and even knew that he opened the jars, it was impossible for him not to know that there was something in the jar that could unlock the caged bird.

When Hinata Hiashi found out that he, a member of a branch family, opened a jar, he was not angry at all.

Instead, he gave himself money and let him drive?

To some extent, he even hated this family.

"Because this is what the family owes you."

Hinata Hiashi said calmly: "Also, I called you here today to tell you something else, about your father's last words."

"What!?"

Hearing what Hyuga Hiashi said, Hyuga Neji's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Whether you believe it or not, I have to say it now."

Hinata Hiashi said slowly: "The truth of the matter is not as you think. I think you can understand it now, so I will take this opportunity to tell you."

Under Hyuga Neji's pale gaze, Hyuga Hiashi slowly opened his mouth and narrated what happened back then.

At this moment.

the other side.

In the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had already received the general information.

"A towering tree appeared in the middle of an empty street with buildings?"

"Or did it come out in the form of chakra?"

Looking at the purple-haired Anbu ninja in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked a cigarette and said slowly: "Are you sure it wasn't detected?"

"Yes, according to our blockade investigation, in addition to the blood, there was a strong chakra fluctuation at the scene."

The purple-haired ANBU ninja said respectfully: "Preliminary judgment is that it is Wood Release. There is no other chakra at the scene."

When speaking the last three words, the Anbu ninja spoke in a low voice.

She really didn't expect that Wood Release would appear in Konoha Village.

"I see."

Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly closed his eyes: "Evacuate the rest of the people and destroy the tree on the spot. Keep this matter secret. The Chunin Exam is coming soon. Don't attract the attention of other ninja villages."

"Yes."

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, the purple-haired Anbu ninja nodded.

"Also notify advisor Danzo and ask him to come over to discuss things." Sarutobi Hiruzen gave the order again, causing the ANBU ninja to nod to show that he understood, and then quickly left.

"Danzo."

After this Anbu ninja left, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and his expression became gloomy.

Then he stood up, walked to the window, and ordered: "Send two Anbu ninjas to the Hyuga clan's territory to see what's going on in the Hyuga clan's territory."

"Yes!"

As soon as Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, there was an immediate response.

And at this moment in the Hyuga clan's territory.

In the courtyard where Hyuga Hiashi lives.

After listening to what Hyuga Hiashi said, Hyuga Neji sneered and said, "Why should I believe you? This is just an excuse for the main family. What else do you have to say?"

"Because I talked about you having this kind of reaction, I didn't say it until now, and I never had the chance."

Hyuga Hiashi was not angry because of Neji's sarcasm, and remained as calm as ever, as if he had already expected Neji to have such a reaction.

Looking at Neji's disdainful expression, Hyuga Hiashi sighed softly, and said in a gentle tone: "I understand your anger, Neji. I have never ignored the resentment in your heart. That is why I have been slow to tell you the truth."

Neji sneered, staring at Hiashi with eyes as sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to see any trace of lies on his face.

However, Hiashi did not avoid Neji's gaze, still standing there, and continued in a calm tone: "But today, I am not talking to you as the head of the Hyuga clan. I am speaking to you as Hiashi's brother, conveying his last words to you."

"That was the last wish your father, Hyuga Hizashi, left for you."

These words were like a thunderbolt, exploding in Neji's heart.

Hyuga Neji's body trembled slightly, his eyes suddenly widened, and a trace of hesitation and shock flashed in his eyes.

"Father's last words?"

Neji repeated in a low voice, his tone full of disbelief and questioning.

His father has always been a painful point in his heart that he cannot let go of, and it is the source of his deep hatred for the Zong family.

And now, Rizu actually said that his father left a will?

This instantly replaced the anger and hatred in Neji's heart with shock and complex emotions.

Neji's breathing couldn't help but quicken a little, and his emotions gradually became complicated.

But he still tried to control his emotions and said coldly: "What do you want to say? Do you want me to believe you with these words?"

At this moment, Hinata Hiashi suddenly moved.

He pressed down gently with his hands and slowly bent his knees.

In front of Neji, Hiashi actually knelt down.

His movements were smooth and firm, without any hesitation or humiliation in his expression, as if this was an action he had decided on long ago.

Neji's eyes opened wider in an instant, his pupils filled with shock and disbelief.

He never thought that Hiashi, the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, would actually kneel before him!

"What are you doing?"

Neji was incoherent for a moment, and he froze in place, at a loss as to what to do.

The patriarch of the Hyuga clan, the leader of the main family, kneeled down to him, a member of the branch family?

This scene was completely beyond Neji's imagination and shocked him deeply.

Hinata Hiashi still remained in the kneeling position, his knees firmly on the ground, his expression still calm, as if he did not feel ashamed at all.

His voice remained steady and gentle: "I kneel down as Hizashi's brother because this is your father's last wish."

"He wants you to hear these words and wants you to understand and accept them."

"I know the resentment in your heart. I won't force you to believe me now, but please at least listen to what I have to say."

Looking at the kneeling Hinata Hiashi, Neji's heart was filled with huge waves.

Neji's breathing began to quicken, and the impact of emotions made it difficult for him to control his emotions for a moment.

The scene before him made it impossible for him to sort out his thoughts, and Rizu's behavior shocked him deeply.

Looking at Rizu's calm expression and listening to his low voice, the image of my father kept flashing through my mind.

He has always been brooding over his father's death and believed that the Zong family was the culprit that led to his father's sacrifice.

And now, Rizu's action seemed to be silently telling him that some things were not as he thought.

Neji's fingers trembled slightly, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

He stared at Hiashi who was kneeling in front of him, anger, hatred and doubts intertwined in his heart.

He never thought that Rizu would express himself in this way.

He was even willing to put aside his dignity as the leader of the clan and kneel before him.

"you"

Hyuga Neji opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end nothing came out.

At this moment, his feelings were so complicated that he couldn't express them in words.

Hiashi raised his head, looked at Neji calmly with sincere eyes, and said softly: "Ningji, your father hopes that you can live a life without hatred."

"He used his life to protect you, and he hopes that you can inherit his will and not be blinded by hatred."

Hearing this, Neji's heart was hit hard, and his eyes flashed with pain and confusion.

"This is the truth. I should have been the one to die, but your father."

Hinata Hiashigaru sighed, slowly stood up and said, "I know you can't accept it in a short time, but what I said is indeed true."

"Now that you have been to the Jar Shop and know how magical it is, you should also know this."

"In the jar shop, there are things that can bring back the dead. They can bring your father back to life."

Hearing this, Hyuga Neji's pupils shrank sharply.

He naturally knew the magic of the jar shop.

He also knew about this.

"Among the Hyuga clan, only you, me, Hanabi, and Hinata know about that magical shop. I am also trying my best to keep the news secret. People from the main family don't know about it."

Hinata Hiashi said slowly: "The owner is mysterious. Opening the jar can improve our strength. Even I can benefit a lot."

"We can open forty jars a week. If we find something related to resurrection, the chances are much higher than others."

"When your father is resurrected, you can ask him the truth of the matter."

"Besides that, I'm also researching ninjutsu to resurrect people."

At this point, Hinata Hiashi paused and said, "Because I believe that even something like resurrection may not be so easy to open from the owner's jar."

"But now in the ninja world, there are incomplete resurrection ninjutsu."

"Konoha's S-rank rebel nin Orochimaru has mastered this method. I can't contact him and I can't get the details."

"According to my research, that jutsu originated from a forbidden technique developed by the Second Hokage of Konoha Village. It is impossible for my Hyuga clan to obtain it."

"There's no way the Hokage can use the jutsu on the Sealing Scroll against me, Hyuga Hiashi."

"But if you open the can, it's possible to get this jutsu."

"I believe you definitely haven't opened all ten jars. If you don't open all the jars you need every week, it will be a waste for both you and me. It will be a waste of the opportunity to revive your father."

"So I will support you in opening the can, and I also hope that Hiashi can be resurrected."

"And you don't need to worry about the so-called caged bird. You can solve it by opening the can."

"I can assure you as the head of the Hyuga clan."

"If I, Hinata, or Hanabi find something that can unlock this seal in the future, I will help you unlock it. I don't have the power to completely deny the main family."

"But I believe that this day will not be too far away."

"Before that, we need to lie dormant. Do you understand, Neji?"

After hearing what Hyuga Hiashi said, Hyuga Neji fell silent.

What Hinata Hiashi said today was such a big shock that he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"I know you need time to digest it, but I think if this kind of thing is not discussed sooner, it will only become more and more unfriendly to both parties."

Looking at the silent Hyuga Neji, Hyuga Hiashi said slowly: "In my eyes, you are a genius who surpasses the main family, and genius should not be buried."

"Take the next two days to relax. When you are recovered, come to me again. I will teach you a technique I found in the jar shop. It will make you stronger."

"If you want to learn and become stronger."

At this point, Hinata Hiashi paused and continued: "If you need anything, you can come to my study to find me directly."

"Ningji, the family may have owed you, but I, have not."

Hearing this, Hyuga Neji slowly closed his eyes.

I have to say, what Hinata Hiashi said is true.

From childhood to adulthood, Hinata Hiashi has indeed never done anything wrong to himself, and he has never suffered any bullying or mistreatment.

The teaching resources they enjoy are all from the Hyuga clan, and are even better than those of other branch families.

"I will."

After a long silence, Hyuga Neji turned around decisively and left the courtyard.

Hyuga Hiashi sighed, and only after watching Hyuga Neji leave completely did he slowly look away.

After waiting for a while, the Hyuga clan's secret guards came back.

"Master, according to our investigation, it was the Root ninjas that were attacked."

The Hyuga clan's secret guards who appeared said respectfully, "There are traces of Wood Release Ninjutsu left at the scene, and there is a strong Wood Release Chakra aura left. The Hokage's Anbu are cleaning up the scene. We can't get close, but we have investigated, so we can still judge the general situation."
