Naruto Arrows

"Jiraiya left again?"

In the root base, Danzo could not help but frown slightly when he heard his subordinate's report.

He originally thought that Jiraiya suddenly returned to Konoha this time because he was persuaded by Sarutobi Hiruzen and was ready to come back to take over the position of Hokage in order to make a smooth transition until the next ninja qualified to be Hokage appeared. Unexpectedly, he Just after launching the investigation, Jiraiya left again, fully prepared, and returned to the village for less than a day.

"Can you find out why Jiraiya returned to the village this time?"

While he was relieved in his heart, he couldn't help but become more interested in the purpose of Jiraiya's sudden return to the village.

Since Jiraiya is still the same Jiraiya as before, what on earth could have attracted him to temporarily give up traveling in the ninja world and return to Konoha?

"Danzo-sama, it is believed that Jiraiya-sama returned to the village this time for Hyuga Neji."

Even a low-level ninja would be very respectful when talking about Jiraiya.

"Hinata Neji?!"

Hearing this name, Danzo felt irritated and disgusted for no reason.

He coveted the Byakugan in his heart, but unfortunately, unlike the proud Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan had strict rules and the clan system made his hope of getting a pair of Byakugan very slim.

Finally, he finally found a Hyuga Neji who was not overly controlled because of the relationship between Hyuga and Hizashi even though they were separated from each other. He once thought that there was hope. However, it turned out that this Hyuga Neji made him anxious several times. I feel resentful in my heart.

"It's just a branch of the Hyuga clan. How can it be worth Jiraiya's return?"

After suppressing the annoyance and disgust in his heart, calming down and thinking for a moment, Danzo looked at his subordinates kneeling in front of him with some dissatisfaction, and asked sternly.

"This, this, I don't know, but, according to reliable information, Jiraiya, Jiraiya has accepted Hyuga Neji as his disciple."

Feeling the tremendous pressure brought by Danzo, the root ninja kneeling on the ground was so nervous and fearful that he couldn't even respect Jiraiya.

"Reliable news? How reliable?"

But his answer still didn't satisfy Danzo.

"The Hyuga clan has not concealed this matter at all, and now it has almost spread throughout the entire Hyuga clan."

But this time, he was full of confidence.

"It is said that after Hyuga Neji graduates and passes the chuunin exam, Lord Jiraiya will take him to travel the ninja world and personally guide him in his training."

He continued to add.

After hearing his explanation, Danzo, who was already convinced, frowned and his eyes were full of doubts.

Hyuga Neji's talent is very good, which he already knew when he went to recruit for the first time.

But the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan, two wealthy clans that rely on pupil techniques, have Byakugan and Sharingan as their foundation.

Although the Hyuga clan is not like the Uchiha clan, almost all their abilities are in the pair of Sharingan, but if they want to exert the power of the Byakugan, they also need to cooperate with the soft fist that the Hyuga clan has continuously improved over hundreds of years.

At this point, not to mention Jiraiya, even he and the monkey's teacher Senju Tobirama would probably be difficult to guide.

For Jiraiya, the fourth generation Hokage who taught Denami Feng Minato, it was impossible not to know this, so why did he accept Hyuga Neji as his student?

Danzo stood up, clasped his hands on his chest, and walked around the room, thinking hard.

Suddenly, he thought of the previous battle with the Red Sand Scorpion, an S-class rebellious ninja in the Kingdom of Stone. He stopped and raised his head in astonishment.

'Could it be?No, this is impossible, it is just a weapon that has been eliminated long ago. How could it be worth asking the monkey to recall Jiraiya? How could Jiraiya agree to such a ridiculous request? '

He tried hard to deny the idea that came to his mind, but he couldn't help but think back to the time when Neji sneaked up on Scorpion with an arrow. Instead, he slowly began to believe this seemingly absurd idea.

"Besides this possibility, there should be no other possibilities."

Danzo, who finally convinced himself, sat back on the chair and muttered to himself.

"Is that annoying brat's archery skills really so special?"

This also made Danzo, who had already given up on coveting Neci, become interested again.

Unlike the Zong family, which is limited, and the branch families are set up with the white eyes of the caged bird, there is definitely no limit to things like archery.

Can I get the secrets about his archery skills from that brat and train myself to become an archery master?

Danzo's eyes were greedy.

. . .

Getting out of bed in a daze, Neji put on his clothes like a zombie with a pair of panda eyes.

Last night, he thought about Chonggo's situation and scared himself. As a result, the more he thought about it, the more worried he became. Finally, he didn't know when he fell asleep because he was too sleepy.

A good biological clock made him wake up as usual, but going to school forced him to give up the idea of ​​going back to sleep, got up, dressed, washed and prepared to go to school.

But just when his spirit had almost left his body, he was washing up completely relying on instinct, and after habitually tying the caged bird mark on his forehead with a cloth, he opened his eyes wide, and his whole body paused as if it had shut down. There.

'Was that my imagination just now? '

His brain suddenly woke up, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. With trembling hands, he took off the white cloth on his head, revealing what he thought was a very ugly engraving of a caged bird.

After tremblingly wiping the mirror in front of him with the white cloth to make it look fine, he opened his eyes wide and saw that the ugly mark in the mirror had disappeared.

"This, this, this..."

Even with Ningji's nerves having experienced time travel, when he looked at his face in the mirror, his face was filled with disbelief, and then ecstasy emerged on his face.

Although he felt that he had no hatred towards Rizu and the two cousins ​​and could not do anything to harm them, he obviously did not like the caged bird mark on his head.

This is like placing a bomb on yourself, and the detonator of the bomb is still in the hands of others.

Even if he didn't believe that Hiashi, Hinata, and Hanabi, who had just learned to walk, would be harmful to him, the feeling of having his life in the hands of others was still very uncomfortable.

But now that this mark has disappeared, does it mean that the restrictions on him have also disappeared?

"Blind eyes!"

Wanting to verify this, he opened his eyes.

"really!"

Neji, who sensed that the blind spot had finally disappeared, was now completely convinced that the caged bird mark on his body had disappeared.

After experiencing the initial disbelief and subsequent ecstasy, he had almost calmed down and couldn't help but start to think about the reason. Looking back on yesterday's experience, it was obvious that there was only one possibility.

"Is this the effect of absorbing those natural energies?"
