I started my horror resurgence from Naruto

Chapter 46 Metamorphosis: The Caged Bird Flapping Its Wings

If the credibility of rumors is ranked into 10 levels, with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest, then, in Hyuga Neji's mind:

The credibility of Hinata Naraku being the real murderer of the [Illusion Murder Case] ​​is now at level 4, which is a state of half-belief and half-doubt. It was originally at level 1 and was almost unbelievable.

The credibility of him being the mastermind behind the revenge against the Zong family is absolutely zero, and he was definitely framed;

and,

The credibility of the various rumors about [Danzo-sama invites you to tea] is at level 10, which is a level that you have to believe even if you use your toes to think about it.

It is said that...

Everyone who was invited by [Lord Danzo to have tea] left quietly after drinking the tea and never came back again.

They are most likely dead;

Or maybe he didn't die, but his self was castrated, his emotions were wiped out, and he put on a mask that he would never take off and became a puppet controlled by Danzo, like a walking corpse, living a life worse than death.

Therefore,

Privately, everyone jokingly named [Danzo's tea invitation] [Death Notice]!

But at this moment, when Hyuga Neji really received the invitation to have tea, he looked at the three people in front of him wearing masks, who seemed to have no vitality at all, and Hyuga Neji really couldn't joke.

Hyuga Neji rolled his eyes and his penetrating gaze pierced through the three roots unscrupulously. He could see that a strange shadow was condensed in the brains, tongues and hearts of these three bodies. Hyuga Neji was very familiar with that shadow, as a similar shadow had been lurking on his own forehead for many years.

This is the sign of the curse!

Not just one, but three. How cruel and insane!

Hyuga Neji shuddered all over, he would never go to Danzo's tea party with the three people in front of him. Although he didn't know why Danzo was looking for him, he could definitely avoid the slanderous rumors of the "mastermind".

At this moment, Hyuga Neji made up his mind that even if he accepted the false accusation, he would never survive and have anyone plant any messy curse on his body again.

A bird in a cage is enough.

"Please~"

There was no tone in the voice, which made Hyuga Neji more disgusted and resistant. He stood there motionless.

"In Konoha, no one can refuse the invitation of Lord Danzo." Seeing that Hyuga Neji did not move, the leading Root pulled out a kunai from his waist without thinking and shot it at Hyuga Neji.

At the same moment, the other two Roots said nothing, and the extremely ferocious Asahi rushed towards Neji, attacking the latter's vital points.

This decisiveness and ruthlessness was completely different from the previous competitions between Hyuga Neji and his classmates. It was a kind of vicious and cruel competition that treated life as worthless and was a fight of either you die or I die. They would attack suddenly at the slightest disagreement and would strike without any scruples.

"The roots are as fierce as the rumors say!"

Hyuga Neji's face changed slightly, and as he retreated and dodged, his palms flew like butterflies, and hit one of the attackers in the chest with exquisite precision. The chakra overflowing from his fingertips was like an invisible scalpel, instantly cutting off several of the opponent's meridian points where the chakra gathered.

Chakra meridians may seem shapeless, but the pain of having them cut off is several times more painful than muscle trauma, and is equivalent to the pain of having internal organs cut. Ordinary people would almost faint without anesthesia, and even ninjas with strong tolerance would inevitably suffer from the problem of being pulled by the pain and deforming their movements.

but,

The few Roots in front of him seemed to be unaware, and their movements did not slow down at all. Even their breathing and heartbeat did not change. They still maintained the established attack movements and killed Hyuga Neji.

"Have the pain nerves been damaged long ago?"

Hyuga Neji was stabbed in the shoulder and arm, blood splattered. He met the indifferent eyes of Genbu and came to a horrible conclusion in his heart.

His heart skipped a beat and he took a half step back. He raised his elbows and stamped his feet, and his body suddenly turned around. The storm of recovery sent the three roots flying.

However, before he could catch his breath, a root member suddenly met Hui Tian in mid-air and broke half of his arm. Blood spurted out of his mouth, and he formed seals with his hands, with high-temperature flames spewing from his mouth.

The flame was bounced back by the Kaiten's rotation and ignited itself, but the equally terrifying high temperature invaded the absolute defense formed by the Kaiten at a close distance, burning Hyuga Neji's skin. The skin on his hands and wrists were visibly burned and ulcerated, and there was a stinging burning sensation when he breathed.

The roots outside were burned by the swirling flames, and the mask cracked and fell off, revealing a face that was being burned, like a dying monster. There was no pain or anger in those ordinary eyes, only a heart-pounding fearlessness of death, and there was no living instinct at all.

monster!

The alien he encountered in the pit last time was a real monster, which was chilling; but this time, the root taught Hyuga Neji a thorough lesson - humans can also transform into monsters in human skin.

To be honest, for Hyuga Neji, who is known as a genius, the combined strength of three Roots may not be as strong as the oppressive feeling brought to him by the aliens, but he did not expect that only one Root could force him into a dead end.

The other two Roots also came to their senses, formed seals with their hands, and imitated Hyuga Neji in performing Fire Release Ninjutsu, not caring at all about their companion who had self-immolated and been charred.

Hyuga Neji's face turned dark. He shouldn't have held back. He had too many distracting thoughts and concerns before he attacked. He was always thinking about the unexplainable consequences if he killed the Root by mistake. Now, he didn't have to think about it anymore, because he was the one who was going to die.

"It turns out that I always thought that Oni-san was a coward and a loser, but in fact..."

Hyuga Neji continued to release Kaiten, his pale pupils were covered by the red flames, the vacuum formed by Kaiten was about to suffocate him, and at the moment of death he had to choose between suffocation or burning to death, was this an irony to his reputation as a genius? His mind began to wander, and he muttered to himself,

"I have always been showing my hatred for the Zong family on my face, but it is just a show on my face. I have never really done anything radical. I have always believed that I am being held back by the caged bird, but is that really the case? That is just an excuse I use to deceive myself. What really holds me back is my determination to perish together with the Zong family!"

His breathing was blocked, his throat was burning and dry, Hyuga Neji stared with pale and powerless eyes, he felt the festering skin on his hands, but the pain in his body was not even one ten-thousandth of that in his heart, regret was like countless ants gnawing at his soul, his mind flashed back to Hyuga Naraku's face that was exactly the same as his own, he suddenly grinned with cracked lips, tears of a miserable smile flowed out: "So, I am the coward who has been avoiding and deceiving myself!"

Hyuga Neji laughed "hoho", then forcefully exhaled the last breath of air from his throat. He suddenly withdrew Kaiten, faced the flames that were engulfing him, and stepped into it boldly.

"Die with me!"

In the flames, a fearless figure staggered and stumbled, but rushed forward, carving a bloody path, and crashed into the arms of one of the Roots with his last breath of resentment. All his final strength poured out, and the Root's chest collapsed. In the flames, Hyuga Neji fell heavily to the ground. He struggled to turn over and lie on his back with his head facing up. The burnt forehead protector slipped off, and the ugly curse seal was reflected in the moonlight, but it was no longer hideous.

At least before his death, Hyuga Neji could face the curse seal on his forehead calmly. Although the caged bird that locked his body was not released until his death, he felt that the bird named Neji deep in his heart flapped its wings for the first time.

"The only regret is that I will never get the answer to my doubts from Onisan!"

Hyuga Neji turned his head and looked at the last Root, who extinguished the flames on Neji's body expressionlessly and sneered: "Want to die? You have to wait until you meet Danzo-sama before you can be allowed to do so!"

The laughter of Genbu stopped abruptly, he lowered his head stiffly, a bloody hand pierced through his chest, and his five fingers were pinching a beating heart.

puff!

The heart exploded and dirty blood splattered.

"You're right, the person who died was not Hyuga Neji!" A gloomy and cold voice whispered softly into Genbu's ear.

Hyuga Neji's consciousness became blurred. He tried to keep his eyelids filled with lead open. His vision became narrower and narrower. He only saw a pitch-black mask and a pair of white eyes looking down at him as the Root corpse fell.

Roll your eyes?

"Onii-san?!" Hyuga Neji closed his eyes...
