Naruto Arrows

After sending Hazuki Shimizu away and lying down on the tatami again, Hinata Neji couldn't help but have a strange expression on his face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

Although Konoha does take care of orphans, the ones who are really valued are those whose parents were ninjas.The village will keep their parents' inheritance on their behalf, and then provide them with living expenses every month until they reach adulthood or graduate from the ninja school and become genin.

As for more war orphans, they are adopted and cared for by orphanages.

The person in charge of the orphanage was the pharmacist Nono U who gave Kabuto his surname and glasses.

However, now, this poor woman must have been forced by Danzou's old silver coin to go to the Land of Earth as a spy on the pretext of deducting funds from the orphanage.

And he should have been, or will soon be, tricked to death by Danzo because he knew too much.

But for an orphan like Hyuga Neji who came from a ninja family, it was a different situation.

Although their parents are dead, they rely on the clan, so all expenses will naturally come from the clan, and the village will not interfere.

After all, although Konoha has been trying its best to suppress the power of various families, it does not dare to be as bloody as Kirigakure.Therefore, no matter how greedy Konoha is for these seedlings who are destined to become ninjas, or even excellent ninjas, they do not dare to stretch their hands that far.

You know, just the fact that Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo played a double act to force many families to send people to join the root has already made these families deeply dissatisfied. How dare the village go one step further and attack these orphans.

Therefore, in this case, the purpose of Hiruzen Sarutobi's attack is worth pondering.

. . .

In the Hokage's office, even though it was completely dark, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had not yet gotten off work, frowned involuntarily after hearing the news that Hazuki Shimizu had arrived.

He knew in his heart that Ye Yue Qingshui came to see him at this time, obviously it could only be because of one thing.

"That boy refused?"

Before Ye Yueqingshui, who walked in, could report, he started to ask questions.

"Yes."

There was a little embarrassment on Hazuki Qingshui's face.

In any case, he rushed to send money to Hinata Neji, and compared to other orphans who were given money from their parents, this time, the money given to Hinata Neji was all from the village. .

Under such circumstances, he actually messed up the matter, and it was inevitable that he felt guilty and embarrassed.

"What's the reason?"

Naturally, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not really blame Hazuki Shimizu, so he asked with some curiosity in his heart.

"Ahem, this, Hinata, that child, he..."

After hearing this question, Ye Yue Qingshui's face became even more embarrassed, and her mouth was stumbling, as if she couldn't speak.

"Is it hard to hear?"

Seeing his appearance, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't show any dissatisfaction, as if he had been prepared for it.

"This, this is not."

Ye Yue Qingshui quickly shook her head.

"He just said, said, said he was, but it was for nothing."

When he said the words "no reward for no merit", his already delicate voice was as thin as a mosquito.

Obviously, as a civilian, he could hear the dissatisfaction and ridicule hidden in Hyuga Neji's words.

This was also the reason why he stumbled when he heard Sarutobi Hiruzen ask the reason.

Even though he was prepared in his heart, after hearing Hazuki Shimizu relay Hyuga Neji's reasons, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but his chest rose and fell violently.

How could he not understand the subtext that Hazuki Shimizu could understand?

"As expected, he is still resentful and dissatisfied with the village because of Hizashi's death."

In fact, from the previous ANBU report about Hyuga Neji's behavior outside the Hizashi family, Sarutobi Hiruzen could see clearly that Hizashi's son seemed to have suddenly enlightened because of his father's death.

He originally thought that since the child could see that Hizashi died for his brother, he might not be so resentful, but now it seems that he is still too optimistic.

"Wait a little longer. When the village recovers its vitality, and when the village can no longer worry about war with Kumogakure and Iwagakure, then I will definitely restore Hinata Hizashi's reputation and let him get everything that should belong to him. , to become a hero praised by everyone."

. . .

"Oh? That brat rejected Hiruzen?!"

When Hazuki Shimizu left the Hokage's office, in the underground office of the root, Shimura Danzo also found out the reason why Hazuki Shimizu went to see Sarutobi Hiruzen, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

Although he still didn't know what Hyuga Neji said to Hazuki Shimizu, he knew very well that Hyuga Neji must still be resentful because of the death of his father Hizashi.

Resenting the weakness of the village and Hiruzen as Hokage, resenting the village for using his father's life to quell the war with Kumogakure.

In his opinion, the resentment in Hyuga Neji's heart was the emotion he could best exploit.

As long as he grasps this, he has every chance of pulling Hinata Neji into his roots.

At that time, he will be able to have a Hyuga ninja who does not have to worry about being controlled by the Hyuga clan, and have the most useful Byakugan in terms of investigation and surveillance.

Of course, the most important thing is that if he can control this resentment, he will no longer have to worry about Tianzang's old things happening again.

"The position of Hokage will eventually be mine!"

After waving his hands to repel his men, he was left alone in the room, talking to himself, with that morbid obsession filling his one eye.

. . .

In the early morning, after dressing, folding the quilt, washing, and warming up as usual, Hyuga Neji put on the green tights that the Matt family loved so much, put on his own bow and arrows, and walked out of the house.

After buying two sandwiches on the street and packing them, he walked quickly towards the east gate.

Yesterday, he had made an appointment with Naruto to meet at the East Gate to continue their respective practices, so he bought an extra sandwich.

Although Hinata's elders cut off his living expenses and he rejected Hiruzen Sarutobi yesterday, he really doesn't have to worry about money.

At least not in the last year or two.

As a senior Jonin, Hyuga Hizashi left a lot of money for his son.

Although most of them were given to his brother Hizu, they will be handed over to Neji after he graduates from the ninja school and officially becomes a ninja.

But it also left Neji a considerable sum of money.

Even though he had exchanged most of them for the bow and arrows in his hand, the rest was enough for him to use for a year or two.

After all, even now, he has just practiced archery and is already self-sufficient, rarely having the opportunity to use money.

Just when he left the busy street and was about to take a small road and rush to the east gate as quickly as possible, a figure suddenly blocked his way.
