My disciple of Konoha is the savior

"Huh?" Xuan Yu didn't answer right away, but looked at Naruto in surprise, "Why do you ask such a question all of a sudden?"

Naruto didn't know what he was thinking of, and his face showed confusion that shouldn't appear on a twelve-year-old boy like him.

Then, he told Xuanyu what had happened in the C-level missions he had performed in succession in the past few months since he graduated from the ninja school and became a genin, left the village and came into contact with the real ninja world.

Xuanyu knows the cause and effect of the Tianquan Town escort caravan mission, so there is no need to say more. There is nothing to say about the Wave Kingdom escort mission. Xuanyu participated in these two special C-level missions, so he just said it casually. Overturned.

And in the next task.

Naruto saw that some people got happiness because of ninjas, and some people lost their families because of ninjas. Some civilian areas were destroyed because they were involved in the fighting range between ninjas, and some civilians died in the wild because of their unique habit of rebellion.

He has seen too much in the past few months.

He also thought a lot from the perspective of the three questions Xuan Yu gave him.

Then, he was confused.

He couldn't judge good or bad, but when he saw the civilians who died tragically due to various man-made disasters, the ordinary people who were killed by ninjas hired by someone, and the farmers who were killed by the so-called cult followers for ridiculous reasons, this one The scene after scene made him instinctively perceive some kind of distortion, and a complicated and unspeakable feeling that made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Naruto knew that Brother Xuanyu must have encountered similar things. After all, he had performed countless missions. When Brother Xuanyu was still a chuunin, he was already a famous mission maniac. As long as he was not dead, , either doing the task or on the way to do the task.

He felt that he had only experienced more than twenty C-level missions, and he had seen so many different scenes during the missions. Xuanyu had done so many missions, and he must have completely understood the entire ninja world.

No one knows ninja world better than him.

Therefore, he wanted to know what the ninja world looked like in Xuan Yu's eyes, whether it would be the same as the idea that he should not have as a ninja faintly emerged in his heart.

After listening to Naruto's thoughts and doubts about what happened to him, Xuan Yu couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, revealing a subtle smile, and his deep eyes shone with a different kind of expression.

There is nothing more interesting than watching the perfect work drawn by your own hands, stroke by stroke, slowly being completed. .seven

Quan on the side looked at Naruto with a hint of surprise.

This kid... is becoming more and more different.

When thinking about this, she couldn't help but glance at Xuan Yu, for some reason, while looking at Naruto, she inexplicably saw in him the shadow of Xuan Yu who had just graduated and became a child.

The sense of illusion that obviously exists but is inexplicably untouchable, and even feels that it may disappear at any time, which makes her extremely frightened, is exactly the same.

Shaking his head, Quan shook off this sudden thought, and then looked at Xuan Yu seriously.

Is Naruto's extraordinary growth now what Xuan Yu expected...

"The ninja world in my eyes."

Xuanyu shook his head, then sighed softly, turned around suddenly, leaned on the railing, and said lightly:

"To put it simply, it's probably off-white."

"Eh?"

This answer made Naruto stunned.

"Brother Xuanyu, gray and white refers to..."

"A boring world with nothing to look forward to, that's probably it."

Xuanyu yawned, and then said slowly: "Numbly, I perform tasks like a tool. I numbly use kunai to erase the happiness, sadness, dullness, despair, or lamentation of my life. I am also burdened with countless things I have not done for Living numbly with known pain and sorrow, this is probably the life of many ninjas."

"As long as there is a mission, ninjas have to risk their lives and engage in fierce battles for each other's position. In countless battles, their hands are stained with the blood of enemy ninjas or civilians, and some People have lost their parents, some have lost their brothers and clansmen, some have lost their loved ones, some have lost their companions, and some have even killed their companions for this, and have become stained with filth that can never be washed away, deep in their hearts. It leaves a scar that will never heal."

"Battle is bound to be accompanied by sadness, but as a ninja, this is an unavoidable reality that must be faced. When the grief accumulates to the limit, there is no yearning in the heart, nothing to care about, and no meaning of existence. People are no longer human. In this way The existence of the unreasonable existence will inevitably give birth to some kind of distortion."

"In the ninja world composed of countless ninjas, with the accumulation of hatred, sorrow, and pain, this distortion will only continue to deepen, causing a chain reaction. In the distortion of the world, no matter what kind of horrific tragedy is possible, so, in my eyes, this kind of world is almost colorless."

After hearing this, Naruto fell silent immediately.

It turns out that this is what Brother Xuanyu thought after experiencing many events in the ninja world...

In this case, what he saw and experienced during this incident was just the tip of the "distorted" iceberg, not worth mentioning at all.

Inexplicably, a rough answer to a certain question slowly emerged in Naruto's mind.

Ninja, what on earth is...

I remember when he answered this question for the first time, knowing nothing, he took it for granted that he gave an answer like "it is a very remarkable and powerful existence that makes people yearn for".

Looking back now, Naruto felt that his natural cognition at that time was very ridiculous.

Although it is normal for a kid to yearn for heroes and admire the strong, but even so he still feels a little ashamed.

"I understand, Brother Xuanyu."

Naruto finally got rid of the countless thoughts, and then said solemnly: "Thank you Brother Xuanyu for telling me so much. Now, maybe, I can understand a lot of things."

At this moment, two names slowly popped up on the display panel above——

Hinata Hinata vs Neji Hinata.

Xuan Yu quickly noticed the content on the display board out of the corner of his eye, and an elusive smile appeared on his face.

"It's too early to say I understand."

As he said that, he pouted his lips towards the sign above, and continued: "Now is the right time, Naruto, let's concentrate on watching the next scene, the oldest and famous family in Konoha - the Hyuga Clan, the legendary white-eyed pupil art master." Maybe, you can see something unexpected from it.”

Hearing this, Naruto subconsciously looked towards where Xuan Yu indicated.

And when he saw Hinata's name, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

He still cares a little about this freshman of the same period who has made him more and more visual as he grows older.

Now that Xuanyu said so, he leaned over and looked at Hinata and another black-haired boy who was somewhat similar to her who walked to the middle of the competition field attentively.

"Hyuuga Neji...what...?"

With his strength, he naturally doesn't need to care about candidates who are serious about taking the Chunin Exam.

He has them win too much.

So he didn't pay much attention to the handsome boy who was a year older than himself and had unique eyes very similar to Hinata.

"That boy is the cousin of that cute little girl from the Hyuga clan." Xuan Yu said quite meaningfully.

"Huh? Zongjia? What does that mean?"

Xuan Yu said lightly: "Wait and ask that little girl yourself, I think, if it was you, she should tell you."

Although he didn't know where Brother Xuan Yu came from for his judgment, Naruto didn't ask.

Still, he was a little surprised.

Brother Xuanyu actually cares about this kind of ordinary contest that is all-in-one?

Obviously even when he and Quan practiced in actual combat, Big Brother Xuanyu hid and yawned while roasting chicken wings, too lazy to watch them.

抱着疑惑，鸣人开始认真看底下即将开始的战斗。<spanstyle=“font-size:20px;margin-top:-20px;width:0;height:0;display:block;color:transparent;transform:scale(0,0)skew(0,0);“>谷</span>

Soon, he discovered something was wrong.

Due to his special experience as a child, he was extremely sensitive to the sight of others. The look in the eyes of the white-eyed boy named Hinata Neji when he looked at Hinata seemed a bit cold.

Not to mention looking at the eyes of relatives, even Sakura and Ino, the best friends and rivals in the previous battle, did not look at each other as well.

There was no warmth in his eyes.

offstage.

"I never thought my opponent would be you, Miss Hinata."

Ning Ci looked at Hinata and said calmly with a blank face.

"Brother Ningji..."

Hinata put her clenched hands on her chest and looked at Neji in front of her with a complicated expression.

"Before we start, I would like to advise Miss Hinata of one thing."

Ning Ci did not immediately put on an attacking stance, but said slowly: "That is, give up this duel."

After a pause, he said with a cold expression: "In my opinion, you are not suitable to be a ninja. Your character and your ideas are ridiculously childish. You are incompatible with ninjas. You don't even have the most basic self-confidence."

"So, it is enough to be a ninja who can only perform simple low-level tasks for the rest of his life. You shouldn't take the Chunin exam. Come to think of it, you, who are indifferent to the world, forced yourself to take part for the sake of your two companions. Yes."

"Ah!" Hinata exclaimed softly, and then quickly denied: "No... no... I... I just want... to be like him and change through my own efforts... ..”

Her voice was so small that it was hard to hear clearly.

"Humph!"

Ning Ci snorted softly: "A person can never change himself."

Hearing this, Naruto couldn't help frowning.

There was an inexplicable fire in my heart.

But he quickly doused it.

Emotions will affect the observer's thinking. Only by maintaining the most rational state and not being affected by external objects can we draw our own conclusions from the phenomena we see.

He never forgot what Xuan Yu said.

At this time, Neji continued: "It is because there is no change that there will be differences between people. Yes, life is not created equal."

"Appearance, mind, strength, talent, bloodline, all these are determined from the beginning. No one can change it, just like..."

Speaking of this, his eyes became colder.

"It's like, I belong to the branch family, and you belong to the Zong family. No one can change all this. We cannot change the destiny of our branch family to sacrifice unconditionally for the Zong family no matter what."

"That's right." He slowly refined Chakra, and his strange white eyes became sharper: "No one can change their inherent destiny!"

pat!

While the chakra was surging, veins suddenly appeared on Neji's handsome face, gathered around the white eyes.

"People who can become elites are born with this kind of fate, and those who don't have this kind of trait can't change their fate of being left behind no matter how hard they try. This is the reality."

While speaking, his aura suddenly rose, and his murderous aura overflowed.

"Miss Hinata, you are the latter, so don't try to do such meaningless things. Being a genin for the rest of your life is the fate you should accept, otherwise..."

"You bear the consequences!"

Hinata was intimidated by Neji's astonishing aura, and her petite body couldn't help but tremble, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

She didn't know what she thought of, but she actually looked away, not daring to look at Ningji, and there was a look of fear in her distinctive white eyes.

Seeing her like this, Naruto, who was about to enter the observer state, was abruptly interrupted. Facing the people he cared about, he still couldn't observe in a rational manner.

Xuan Yu glanced at him, but instead of reprimanding him, he smiled, and then deliberately said to him in a slightly louder tone:

"I say Naruto, even if the eldest daughter of the clan is really cute, and like Yamato Nadeshiko, she will definitely be a virtuous bride than anyone else in the future, you don't have to keep looking at places that people shouldn't look at, right? , very rude."

Naruto:"?!!!!."

He looked at Xuan Yu unexpectedly, completely stupefied by his inexplicable words.

When did I look where I shouldn't?

Brother Xuanyu, what's going on here?

Xuanyu's own existence is already very eye-catching, and there are many ninjas who pay attention to him openly and secretly, including those candidates. After all, they can teach Naruto, a top genin who is as strong as a monster, they Of course it's impossible not to care.

As a matter of course, what Xuan Yu said just now reached the ears of almost everyone.

They subconsciously looked at Naruto who was beside him with a dazed expression, their eyes were a little subtle.

Sakura looked suspicious, while Sasuke on the side frowned.

What are you doing, Naruto, he actually did such a disrespectful thing next to Master Xuan Yu, it's too outrageous!

They did not doubt Xuan Yu's words.

Moreover, Naruto's reaction at this time didn't look like that. If he had nothing wrong with him, how could he react like he did now, as if he had been caught by his teacher for doing something bad?

Naruto was very sensitive to other people's gazes, and he soon noticed the strange gazes coming from around him. He had an inexplicable feeling that although he was alive, he was actually dead.

"Brother Xuanyu..."

He looked at Xuan Yu with a pained face.

However, Xuanyu raised his eyebrows slightly as if nothing was wrong: "What's wrong? Naruto? Do you have anything to say?"

"Uh...no...no."

Although he didn't know why Brother Xuanyu suddenly wanted to prank him, Naruto still wisely chose to remain silent.

And just when he looked confused, Hinata's delicate body underneath, which was originally trembling slightly, calmed down quickly.

She naturally heard what Xuan Yu said.

'Naruto-kun... is looking at me...'

After a brief moment of stiffness, Hinata felt a huge force coming out of her body. The wavering in her heart was completely dispelled in an instant. Her originally weak eyes quickly became firm, and then——

"Blind eyes!"

She suddenly opened her eyes, and her imposing eyes met Neji's four eyes on the face that had become quite ferocious.

"I'm sorry, brother Ning Ci, I will not give up."
