I practice martial arts in Konoha

"Ningji..."

"I know you will never trust the Zong family, and I have no shame in begging for your forgiveness."

"Then from today on, the Zong family will no longer force you to do anything, nor will it give you any support. You can rely on your own efforts to do what you want, but the premise is... you cannot harm the Zong family, and you cannot Endangering the Hyuga clan!"

"If you do something that harms the family, I will definitely activate the Caged Bird Curse Seal without mercy and end your life!"

"You... do it for yourself!"

When the white clone stepped out of the clan's mansion with an expressionless expression, Hinata Hinashi's stern words were still echoing in his ears.

If there is no accident.

For a long time to come.

He will never set foot here again.

This showdown.

Because both parties were very restrained, they did not break out.

And the result was pretty much what he imagined.

Hinata and Hizu finally chose cold treatment.

In other words.

Like Neji in the original time and space, he was hidden by the Hyuga clan.

fate.

circled around.

It seems to have returned to its original trajectory.

the difference is.

He could never be like Neji in the original time and space, who fell down at the feet of the clan and cried bitterly because of an unfounded suicide note, offering his loyalty, and in the end even risking his own life and sacrificing himself.

From the perspective of the white clone.

Either don't resist in the first place, or resist until the end.

And what about Neji from the original time and space?

When I was a child, I suffered so much and suffered so much because of my resistance to the Zong family. I realized the Bagua 64 Palms and Huitian through my own efforts. However, because of a little setback and a suicide note, I gave up the resistance and went to praise the Zong family. If you go through life and death for the Zong family, aren't all the suffering and sins you have endured in vain?

So stupid!

So cheap!

So spineless!

"Chuunin Tatsuya, there is an adult who wants to see you, please come with us!"

On the way home.

When walking into an uninhabited alley.

Tatsuya was stopped by two Anbu who suddenly appeared.

The masks they wore seemed different from ordinary ANBU, with patterns that Tatsuya had never seen before.

Could it be that they are the roots Neji-sama mentioned!

"Which advisor wants to see me?"

Tatsuya asked knowingly.

The two Anbu didn't answer.

One of them made a seal with his hands.

The soil on the ground flowed like a whirlpool and spread to the feet of the three people.

The bodies of the three people began to sink slowly.

Tatsuya's eyes flickered and he remained motionless, letting himself be swallowed up by the vortex of mud.

For a moment.

The mud swirl disappears and the ground returns to its original state.

Another ANBU suddenly appeared.

boom!

The smoke dissipated.

He transformed into Tatsuya's appearance, walked out of the alley, and wandered around the streets.

◎

A spooky underground space.

Tatsuya and three others were walking on the suspended trestle.

This is the darkest place in Konoha.

No light can be seen from above, and no bottom can be seen from below.

In his breathing, he could faintly smell a trace of cruelty and coldness.

An old man with a cane and his arm hanging.

Standing alone on the bridge with one eye closed.

"Danzo-sama, bring Chuunin Tatsuya here."

After the two Root Organization members came back to life, they stood directly behind Danzo.

"Master Danzo."

Tatsuya saluted meticulously.

According to Neji-sama, this Hokage assistant who seems to be a combination of the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled is actually a strong man comparable to the third generation of Hokage.

"Chūnin Tatsuya, on behalf of the village, I order you to describe the process of practicing Fusion from beginning to end, down to the smallest detail."

"Yes, Danzo-sama. The practice of melting will start when I become Neji-sama's experimental subject..."

Tatsuya didn't hesitate at all, he looked like he knew everything and said everything he wanted to say.

A flash of surprise flashed in Danzo's eyes. He didn't expect this kid to be so obedient, making all the tricks he had prepared in advance useless.

So he listened and thought.

Occasionally, he asked a few very targeted questions, showing his profound ninjutsu literacy.

"Iron Sand Palm... is indeed a very creative secret technique, but the key to why you were able to master it in a short period of time must be that magical secret medicine, right?"

"Yes."

"Do you still have that secret medicine?"

"No more...but I keep the test tubes after the potion is used up, and there is still a little bit of liquid left in it."

"Where's the test tube?"

"in my house."

"I will send someone to go home with you later to get it... Now let's talk about Hinata Neji."

"This……"

Tatsuya hesitated this time.

"Even if you don't tell me, I can still get information about Hyuga Neji from other people, but the accuracy may be difficult to guarantee. If the information is wrong and the village misunderstands Hyuga Neji, then..."

Tatsuya gritted his teeth: "I can say it, but please don't hurt Neji-sama..."

After half an hour.

As soon as Tatsuya stepped forward, an ANBU appeared on the back.

"Danzo-sama, Hokage-sama, please make a copy of the Melting Escape Secret Technique, send it to the Hokage's office, and enter it into the Sealed Book."

Danzo's face darkened when he heard this.

Damn monkey, he picks peaches every time!

◎

The woods behind the mountain.

"Lord Neji, I have leaked all the information to Danzo in accordance with your instructions."

"very good."

"But Neji-sama, isn't it too dangerous to do this? What if Danzo wants to do harm to you..."

"It doesn't matter. What Danzo knows is what I want him to know. He thinks he has mastered everything about me, but he doesn't know that it's just the tip of the iceberg that's exposed to the water."

"I see……"

"Also, I have broken up with the Zong family. If the Zong family wants to win over you, you should be conceited first. After all, your father is from a separate family, and you have to live according to the face of the Zong family..."

"Does the clan want to plant the Caged Bird Curse Seal on me?"

"No, the Caged Bird Curse Seal can only be applied by one pair of Byakugan to another pair of Byakugan. You don't have the Byakugan, so you can't carry the Caged Bird Curse Seal."

"Master Neji, my teammates and I have made an appointment to have a dinner at a barbecue restaurant. Do you want to attend?"

"When your teammates are having dinner together, I won't get in the way."

"Goodbye, Neji-sama."

"and many more……"

"Lord Neji, please order..."

"I may rarely come back to the Hyuga clan in the future. If you can't find me for something, use your psychic technique to summon Arashi Maru and contact me through it."

"You want to leave Hinata? Do you want to... please take me with you!"

"I have other plans. You don't have to follow me all the time. Your main task in the future is to work hard to develop Meltdown and seize the time to become stronger. Without the strength of an elite Jonin or even a Kage, you are not even qualified to fight for me."

"I see."

Tatsuya felt a little frustrated, but soon regained his fighting spirit.

"Go!"

The white clone waved his hand and watched Tatsuya's back fading away.

Group possession.

The bait has been cast.

Next, it’s up to you to perform.

What would you do?

Dangdang Guoying, don’t disappoint me!
