Soul of Naruto wears Rock Lee

Chapter 20 Going against the ancestor’s decision!

In a brightly lit room, the Sandaime stared at the three portraits in front of him with his hands behind his back, namely the First Hokage, the Second Hokage, and the Fourth Hokage.

Nara Shikaku led the three of them to this place and stood aside consciously.

"Lord Hokage, the three of us have arrived."

"Thanks for your hard work."

The Sandaime turned around and looked at the three of them, Xiao Li, with a kind and kind smile on his old face.

"Lord Hokage!"

The three of them knelt on one knee to show their respect.

"I heard that Shikaku spoke highly of you, but I didn't expect it to be you. Yes, heroes are born, and Konoha needs energetic newcomers like you."

"Thank you, Hokage-sama!"

The three responded in unison.

"Okay, I should tell you about the next five-nation joint competition. If you have any needs now, I can satisfy you as long as I am within my capabilities."

The Sandaime looked at the three of them with a smile.

The three of them were stunned, unable to imagine that there was such a benefit.

Ningji raised his head and hesitated to speak. Xiao Li noticed his unusual politeness and said: "Hokage-sama, what we lack at the moment is strength. In the Five Nations League, only if you are strong enough can you have a chance to win the championship!"

"Hahaha, that's well said. I'm very happy to have such self-awareness. However, strength cannot be improved overnight. As for the auxiliary banned substances, they are not allowed to be used in competitions unless under special circumstances."

The Sandaime made it very clear that it is not impossible to improve your strength in a short period of time, but he does not recommend it.

"Hokage-sama, if one of the three of us improves his strength in a short period of time through normal means, I wonder if Hokage-sama can help?"

The third generation was surprised. How could he improve his strength in a short time in a normal way?

"Tell me, I want to see who it is."

Glancing at the three of them, the Sandaime said hesitantly.

Nara Shikaku also became curious. He could not figure out how to improve his strength in a short period of time, except for forbidden techniques and drugs.

"Hinata Neji!"

Xiao Li blurted out, and Neji's expression changed.

The Sandaime and Nara Shikaku woke up and understood what Xiao Li was referring to, but their faces were full of helplessness.

"Are you trying to break the seal of the caged bird for Hyuga Neji?"

"Exactly!"

"It can't be done. The caged bird is a seal passed down from generation to generation by the Hyuga clan. Even if I am proficient in ninjutsu and am the Hokage, I can't break the seal without alerting the Hyuga clan. What's more, if something goes wrong, Ning He might lose his life."

Xiao Li: “…”

Old man, do you want to brag about yourself like this?Aren't you afraid of being slapped in the face?

"Why don't you understand what I said?"

The Sandaime noticed Xiao Li's displeasure and thought he was making trouble unreasonably.

"Hokage-sama, I don't mean for you to break the seal secretly. The risk is too high."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Xiao Li stood up and explained: "First of all, the three of us will represent Konoha in the Five Nations League, right?"

"Secondly, as one of the representatives of Konoha, if Neji is not strong enough, will he lose Konoha's face if he is easily defeated in the competition?"

"Is it damaging Hinata's face?"

"According to what I know, Hinata is a very face-conscious family."

While talking, Xiao Li took off his skull mask, and his face was covered with scars.

The Sandaime and Nara Shikaku couldn't help but be moved when they saw Xiao Li's face.

"With their desperate character to save face, they should not allow members of the Hyuga clan to do things that harm the family's face."

"If the caged bird is released and Neji's strength is greatly improved, and we win the joint competition, then does Neji bring honor to the Hyuga clan?"

"If a member of the Hyuga branch can win, wouldn't it make people shudder as the strongest clan?"

"This move will basically bring fame and fortune to the Hyuga clan."

After saying this, Nara Shikaku raised his thumbs: "Talent! Why didn't I think of it?"

Xiao Li's words were very clear and even highlighted the key points.

First, Hinata is a family that wants to save face, otherwise it would not cover up Hinata and Hinata's behavior.

Second, honor. As a famous family and an ancient family with a long history, who doesn’t want the family to be famous far and wide. So far, the impression of Konoha in various countries still remains on Senju and Uchiha. Who cares about Hinata?

Who knew Hinata was the strongest clan in Konoha right now?

The strongest one is only named by Hinata himself, which is totally worthy of the name.

Third, it is also a matter of face.

For a long time, Hyuga has been dominated by the clan, the clan is the strongest, and the branch families are just vassals.

If the vassals of the separate families can win the joint competition, what about the Hyuga clan?

It will definitely become famous!

The Sandaime fell into deep thought and asked: "Shikaku, what do you think? Are there any feasible opportunities that Xiao Li mentioned?"

Nara Shikaku smiled and said he had no objection.

"Then let's decide, Neji. I will write a letter for you to hand over to the head of the Hyuga family. Whether it can succeed or not depends on your family's considerations."

Neji suppressed the joy in his heart and said calmly: "Thank you, Hokage-sama!"

Hyuga family.

After receiving Ningci's letter, Hyuga Hizashi confirmed it with the Hokage Studio again and again. After confirming that Ningci's letter was authentic, an emergency family meeting was held.

Some in the meeting agreed, while others thought it was inappropriate.

The party that disagreed believed that Hinata Ningji was rebellious and that once the seal was released, the consequences would be disastrous.

Those who agreed believed that Neci's participation in this competition represented Konoha and the face of the Hyuga clan. It was related to the reputation of the Hyuga clan and it was necessary to unlock the caged bird to increase its strength.

After deciding which was more important, everyone had their own opinions, and the meeting fell into chaos.

"Enough, noisy how to solve the problem, let me ask you, if Hyuga Neji is no longer a member of the Hyuga clan after releasing the caged bird?"

This sentence shocked the six elders present. The six of them stopped making noise and thought about what Hinata Hizu said.

The sixth elder with long black hair was the first to express his point of view: "Hyuga Neji is the son of Hyuga Hizashi. Hizashi once sacrificed for the family and Konoha. Now the boy Ningci has the opportunity to represent Hyuga and fight against other countries. I don't think it is necessary to unlock the seal. It’s not appropriate, it’s just forced by the situation.”

"Hmph! You, Liu Six, are violating the rules of your ancestors. Once the seal is released, have you ever thought about the other people in the separated family?"

When the Sixth Elder heard this, he was instantly furious: "You are the only one who talks nonsense. You are really capable. Why is there no one from your team selected to represent the family? I think you are jealous!"

"Bah! I'm jealous. What's the point of a mere district-level competition!"

The Sixth Elder sneered and asked: "A competition recognized by all countries, and there is also the legendary Six Paths Immortal's Noble Phantasm as a reward. Such a profitable competition, I didn't expect that it would be meaningless in front of you, the Second Elder. If you really have the ability , go find the Third Hokage, if we don’t participate, let the other four countries play, if you have the guts, you can go!”

"Lao Liu, you are simply disrespectful and bullying others too much. Be careful that I use clan rules to discipline you!"

"You old immortal, you always follow the clan rules. Are you the one who has the final say on the clan rules? Hinata, you have the final say? Don't you look in the mirror? Go down there and see your ancestors and think about it! You are just wasting air while you are alive!"

"I'm so angry! I'm going to kill you!"

"Come on! Who is afraid of whom? Look at your age. I will give you a hand. Don't say that I bully others!"

Hinata Hinata had a headache. The second elder was quite prestigious in front of the other elders, but the sixth elder was always scolding the second elder and wanted to scold the second elder to death.

"Ugh!"
