Naruto: If I ask you to practice gentle fist, will you drive a Gundam?

Soon, ten clan members followed Ningci's instructions and entered the research facility. At the same time, the system interface also sent a corresponding prompt:

[Hinata Xuan has entered the research facility! Started researching the Otsutsuki serum (permanent version)! ]

[Hinata Tenichi has entered the research facility! Started researching the Otsutsuki serum (permanent version)! ]

[Hinata Kawase has entered the research facility! Started researching the Otsutsuki serum (permanent version)! ]

. . . . . .

Looking at the names of these tribesmen, Neji quickly clicked the skip button because he didn't want to waste his energy on ordinary tribesmen.

This is not to say that Ningji is heartless, because as the head of the family, his limited energy should be used efficiently, rather than remembering names, asking about people's well-being, and doing superficial work.

Ningji believes that compared to those superficial work, what the head of a family should do is to do practical things for the welfare of the clan members!

Soon, Ningji completed the system operation, and these tribesmen entered the research facilities one after another, and the entire scientific research base became busy again.

Ningji finally breathed a sigh of relief and realized that the previous operation had taken a lot of time and it was already evening.

At this time, the system interface prompts again:

[Weekly intelligence has been collected! Do you want to check it? ]

"Oh? Intelligence?"

Only then did Neji remember that he had previously arranged for Uzuki Yugao to be an undercover agent in Konoha.

"Oh! Yes, that's right! Let's take a look!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a slender figure landed behind Neji, appearing silently like an elegant cat.

"Owner!"

Neji looked down and saw a woman with long purple hair wearing a tight nightgown that outlined her figure in perfect detail. She was kneeling on one knee and saluting Neji.

It was none other than Mao Yue Xi Yan.

Because of some magical operations done by Neci before, Yugao has become Neci's servant, and is stationed inside Konoha to collect intelligence.

"Well, you're here."

Neji stretched out a hand to stroke Xi Yan's chin, and the latter responded very respectfully, like a cat trying to please its owner.

"Hurry up and tell me! I'm pressed for time!"

Neji said coldly, removing his hand.

Seeing this, Xi Yan felt a little disappointed, but her master's order took precedence, so she reported:

"Recently, we have spotted some unidentified ninjas wearing ANBU uniforms moving around Konoha Village, but according to my people's investigation they are not ANBU, they are most likely Danzo's Root or criminals from other countries."

"Haha, is that really the case..."

Although the previous Uchiha clan genocide was extremely cruel and the Sandaime ordered Danzo to disband the Root, there was no way Danzo would directly disband the private armed forces he had built himself.

As for the fact that Danzo was secretly maintaining the operation of the Root, the Sandaime turned a blind eye.

Neji had long guessed that Danzo would not give up his Root easily, and the Sandaime's weak character made it impossible for him to completely break off with Danzo.

"Master, you already knew this?"

Xi Yan looked at Neji with admiration, as if her master knew everything.

"Okay, I guessed it, what about the others?"

"Yes, according to reports from several of my subordinates, there have been unidentified ninjas active outside Konoha Village recently. However, due to the Chunin Exam, many ninjas from other countries can visit Konoha with good reason, so there is no way to verify their identities one by one."

Indeed, holding the Chunin Exam means that the gate of Konoha Village is open to the entire ninja world, and anyone can enter and exit freely. This is undoubtedly a huge security risk for Konoha.

"Humph, they are so open to ninjas from other countries. If the Sandaime could use the flattery he showed to other ninja villages on his own people, he wouldn't have ended up like this."

After Neji finished speaking, he fell into a short period of thought, with a deep glint in his eyes.

Regarding Orochimaru's upcoming plan to destroy Konoha, it seems that the target is Konoha, but in fact it is not.

Ningci, who has read the original work, knows that Orochimaru has a huge whitewashing reversal in the later period, which even many Naruto fans cannot accept.

But in fact, there is no need to whitewash Orochimaru. His essence is not much different from Danzo.

He is just an extremely fanatical Konoha radical.

Try to recall, although Orochimaru's action was ostensibly called the Konoha Destruction Plan, judging from the results, Konoha's biggest casualties were actually the loss of the Third Hokage, and there was not much loss in the village and main combat power.

Compared with the Nine-Tails Rebellion, most of the casualties were village ninjas, and almost an entire generation was wiped out; looking at the Konoha Collapse Plan, the biggest casualty was only the Sandaime.

Judging from the results, Orochimaru's goal is actually very intuitive:

That is to help Konoha achieve reform and promote its development by assassinating its corrupt high-ranking officials.

In his own words:

"Let the windmill of Konoha start turning again."

Neji admitted that the Sandaime was not a corrupt official in the strict sense. On the contrary, his starting point was also Konoha.

But the Sandaime had been in power for too long, and gradually placed the interests of the family above the interests of the village, and established the Sarutobi Dynasty through his own political schemes.

The concept of the village's strength was gradually replaced by the concept of the Sarutobi family's strength.

Neji boldly guessed that if there had not been this plan to destroy Konoha, the next Hokage would most likely have been Asuma, and the next generation would have been Konohamaru.

Naruto will completely become a war machine, assisting Konohamaru's growth and thus helping Konohamaru continue to maintain the status of the Sarutobi family.

So in Neji's view, his interests are almost completely consistent with Orochimaru's.

The reason why he did not cooperate with him was that he was afraid that his strength was not enough to talk to Orochimaru. If he was not careful, he might become the other party's guinea pig. After all, no matter how loyal Orochimaru was to Konoha, it could not change the fact that he was a mad scientist.

He's a little unreliable as an ally, but it would be great if we could recruit Orochimaru!

As the number one researcher in Hokage, it would be so cool if Orochimaru could come to work in his own research base!

But for now we still have to take it slow and plan for the long term.

At least I have to complete the current Chunin Exam first before I have the chance to meet Orochimaru, and that will be Orochimaru in a weak state. At that time, I will have more bargaining chips!

Neji's eyes moved slightly, and strange colors flickered in his pure white eyes. Those colors reflected the future scene of the Hyuga family's rapid development, and the scene of himself reaching the pinnacle of the ninja world.
