I started my horror resurgence from Naruto

Wake up.

The background of the plug-in prompted that there was a record of movement in the fear value, and the number of fear fragments was quietly increased by 1, which made Hinata Naraku, who had just finished squatting in the toilet, feel more refreshed.

He went out quietly, turned right, and met Rock Lee who had been waiting anxiously. They agreed to search for Neci's trace in the village together today.

Ever since Hyuga Neji disappeared without a trace, Rock Lee has been feeling guilty and has been frantically searching for his companions, but to no avail.

During this process, Rock Lee had to come into contact with Hyuga Neji's Nissan, and with Hyuga Naraku's intentional or unintentional catering, the friendship between them was gradually warming up.

Rock Lee is so simple-minded. After several contacts, he felt that Neci's previous perception of Nissan was too harsh and extreme. In fact, although Hyuga Naraku's strength is indeed terrible, his other aspects are very good.

He is good-looking, speaks nicely, and has a mature, steady, and tolerant personality... Well, Rock Lee sometimes can't help but think that except for Nissan, who is stronger than him, Hyuga Neji is completely defeated in other aspects.

Although it seems a bit unfair to Neji to think so, but, Neji really threw away the cloak of genius, and what was left inside was all extreme, arrogant, resentful, vicious, cold-blooded, and looked down upon others...

Oh my God,

It turns out that Hyuga Neji has so many character flaws. Even Rock Lee was shocked and didn't dare to think about it any further.

"Xiao Li, you don't look right. Are you feeling unwell?" Hinata Naraku's voice was full of concern.

"No, nothing?" Rock Lee showed some shame and self-blame on his face, "If I hadn't let Neji leave and chased him earlier, maybe Neji wouldn't have killed three members of the Root and fled for fear of the crime. Who knows whether he is alive or dead."

Hinata Naraku patted Rock Lee on the shoulder. Under the sunlight, he seemed to be bathed in gold, full of warmth that convinced him. "It's not Rock Lee's fault. Don't blame yourself. After all, although we don't know what conflict occurred between him and the Root, the Root is also a part of the village. No matter what the reason, Neji's killing of his companions in the village is an irreversible mistake. This has nothing to do with Rock Lee, you or anyone else. This is caused by Neji's extreme and resentful character."

Hyuga Naraku sighed and said sadly, "Although Neji's character flaws are ultimately caused by the ancient system of the Hyuga family, it is also because I, Nissan, failed to teach and take good care of him since he was a child. It is because I am too useless that he is too disappointed and lacks a sense of security."

"Nissan--" Rock Lee was not good at speaking and he didn't know how to comfort Hyuga Naraku, but he had already begun to follow Hyuga Naraku's request and spontaneously was willing to call Hyuga Naraku "Nissan" on behalf of the ignorant Neci.

"Although my Neji goes home with a sour face every day, I can see that you take good care of him." Hinata Naraku said seriously, "Maybe Neji is the strongest one in your team, but I know very well that he is the one with the most fragile heart, the one who must be tolerated and taken care of by you all the time. You have done a lot of things that I should have done but couldn't do, so I am very grateful to you, Xiao Li, and the girl named Tiantian from the bottom of my heart."

Rock Lee scratched his head a bit embarrassedly. Being a passionate and open-minded person, he had never actually thought about these things. He was just being humble and tolerant of some of Neci's bad habits out of his nature, and Tenten was probably just doing it because of his looks.

"Okay, no need to explain, I understand everything." Hyuga Naraku smiled. From Rock Lee's clear and shy eyes, Hyuga Naraku had an idea in his mind. He had already planted the seeds of intimacy in Rock Lee's heart. To use the words in "The Will of Fire", this is called a bond.

Probably because he had the identity of Neji Hyuga and the face that was printed out from the same mold, in short, Hyuga Naraku felt that he was gaining Rock Lee's favor very smoothly, to the point that Sadako, who would occasionally poke her head out of the shadows, was grinning with jealousy.

Along the way, the two searched the area near the Uchiha Wasteland and the surrounding woods, but unfortunately they still failed to find any useful clues.

then,

Rock Lee said goodbye to Hinata Naraku and agreed to search together the next day. Hinata Naraku was naturally pleased and agreed.

- If the plug-in can also include Rock Lee's intimacy into the statistics, then the following subtitles should pass across his retina here - [Rock Lee's intimacy ↑, the current intimacy is respectful! ]

It was getting dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun was being eroded by the impatient night. A masked ANBU appeared behind Hinata Naraku.

"Hmm?" Hyuga Naraku suddenly turned around and looked over suspiciously and warily. Because of Hyuga Neji's disappearance, it was reasonable for him to have such a reaction to the Anbu.

"Don't be nervous, it's Lord Hokage who wants to see you about something." The gray-haired Anbu conveyed the Hokage's order in a lazy tone.

Hearing that it was the Hokage and not the Root, the vigilance in Hinata Naraku's eyes completely disappeared, leaving only a hint of strange doubt, which was a very reasonable reaction.

No matter what Sarutobi Hiruzen's true face is, at least, on the surface, the Hokage's reputation in the village has always been well maintained, and he is worthy of the trust of these inexperienced ninja students who have just stepped out of the campus.

"Hatake Kakashi!"

Hinata Naraku followed behind the ANBU without saying a word. Looking at the former's iconic hair color and the forehead mask covering his single eye, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"I really don't understand the meaning of him wearing a mask, is it self-deception?"

Hatake Kakashi recognized Hyuga Naraku behind him. He had met him once in the audio-visual room. He had also heard a little about Hyuga Naraku's current situation and had a little sympathy deep in his heart. Then, for some unknown reason, he eavesdropped on his conversation with Rock Lee.

how to say?

She has a great understanding beyond her age and speaks in a way that makes people like her~

But that was all. The extra warmth in Kakashi Hatake's heart had long been buried in ice with the deaths of his relatives and friends.

Besides,

I don’t know what talents or values ​​this young man has, but now he has been noticed by the Third Hokage. This is really a blessing or a curse!

"I heard that you failed the graduation assessment more than once?" Hatake Kakashi suddenly asked.

"Well, I may not have the talent in this area." Hinata Naraku answered calmly.

Hatake Kakashi sighed. He knew there were two explanations for this calmness. One was the resignation to one's fate, and the other was the turbulent waves that were forcibly suppressed behind the calmness.

and,

No matter which one, as long as someone can give it a match of hope, it will be like a raging fire, and a raging flame will be rolled up in this seemingly calm soul.

"In fact, not being able to be a ninja is not a bad thing." Hatake Kakashi said indifferently, as if he was talking to the boy behind him, but it seemed more like he was talking to himself who was confused.

"Well, thank you, I know." Hinata Naraku actually agreed in his heart, but he needed the identity of a ninja at this stage, and he also needed a way to become stronger in front of the public in a reasonable way.

He believed that Sarutobi Hiruzen would plan this path for him.

"Go in, the Hokage-sama is waiting for you."

"it is good!"

Hinata Naraku took a deep breath and opened the door of the Hokage's office...
