Naruto: The hardworking model who realizes his dream is actually the white moonlight of the ninja wo

Just existing is wrong.

Such existence does not exist.

Tobirama thought so, and even when facing Uchiha, he had the same idea.

People are not always exactly the same, just like there are no two Ningci in the world - this analogy is not very accurate. Perhaps in the near future, after a few years or decades, two Ningci will appear.

Apart from external interference, Tobirama's ideas are generally consistent with the laws of this world.

"Host, what are you thinking about?"

It would only take a day at most to get here from the war zone where Danzo was.

A day is neither long nor short.

Anything can happen in one day.

For example, the villagers who died of the disease and the spread of the virus.

Strictly speaking, Ningji, who knew how to use medical ninjutsu, could start treatment directly on the first day he arrived in the village. Even if he couldn't completely control the virus, at least he could get the patient out of danger.

In addition, based on Ningji's current understanding of the virus, Qiaotou Village will be back to normal in half a month at most - all this is based on the premise that they will not capture the mastermind behind the scenes, but only deal with the plague as a symptom.

But what will Danzo see when he comes?

The Qiaotou Village which is gradually recovering its vitality, and the beautiful Senju Tobirama.

"Danzo must transform everything around him from a materialized state."

"We need to make some sacrifices to do this - and there is no better opportunity than this in a short period of time."

System 001 was confused and didn't understand what was going on.

"Sacrifice? Are they the villagers here?"

"Host, don't worry about this. Once the mission is completed, we will quickly move to the next time point. Even if the host commits evil and acts recklessly against the villagers in this time and space, they will never live to collect the debt from the host!"

001 smacked his lips: "There's also burning, killing, and looting..."

He is ordering the dishes.

It surrounded Neji's ears like white noise, but not a single word was actually heard by Neji.

He and Tobirama set up camp on the edge of the village, with army green tent cloth and silver nails.

The tent fabric is strong and sturdy, and the nails are shiny.

Ninjas cannot weave or cast iron.

All of these were made by ordinary villagers, just like the villagers of Qiaotou Village, stitch by stitch, hammer by hammer.

They would die because of Neji's choice.

Because of Neji's choice, he will never open his eyes again.

It’s just because the mission goal is to keep Tobirama, the dying man, alive.

Neji has a thousand, ten thousand ways - on the day of Tobirama's death, he can go through countless attempts, die countless times, until he finds a way to survive in such a desperate situation.

Neji Hyuga will not die.

He died a long time ago.

But the villagers will die, and their names may never even appear here once. They are just a decoration, a symbol of the street.

Just like in the Fourth Shinobi World War, people died in a corner of the battlefield before reaching the core battle zone.

They didn't even have a "face".

But they are alive.

In the invisible place, they have their own life, their own love, and their own dreams.

They have family and friends... they are living people just like Uzumaki Naruto and Senju Tobirama.

There is no difference between us when it comes to living.

"Should I die?"

Neji placed his hand on his chest. Below the hideous wound was a hot beating heart and lungs that sometimes expanded and sometimes contracted.

Further down are the organs that move slowly and digest food.

All of this shouldn't exist.

Only now, they are working as a matter of course.

"I think I'm dead..."

The tent was opened and the morning sun poured in from outside, outlining the tall and strong silhouette of a man on the ground.

The sun is so hot that it hurts my eyes.

Neji could only squint his eyes, leaving a gap, and look up.

The man was wearing armor that seemed to glow.

The sunlight blurred Tobirama's facial features and his color, and what was highlighted was an ambiguous feeling called feeling.

The sunlight seems a little too dazzling.

Neji put his hand over his eyes, followed by three light coughs.

"Tobirama...?"

Warmth covered the back of Neji's hand, and the heat source's humid breath lingered around Neji's ears.

Tobirama is back, Neji thought.

He seemed like a lazy teammate who only thought and acted by himself - only Neji would think so.

Tobirama is a little too down-to-earth and hardworking.

He was like a pillar of a tent, silently taking care of everything.

Thinking of this, Neji's guilt deepened again.

"cough cough..."

As expected, there was a piece of water handed to him by Tobirama. It was soaked with herbal juice, which was said to have the effect of relieving cough.

Tobirama went to pick it early in the morning. This grass is most effective before the sun rises completely.

The herbal merchants can only provide some herb-related information to their employers.

If the medical level in Tobirama's time was not yet developed, there would probably be no place for Neji even to provide information.

"Everyone has their own choice, Neji."

Tobirama set up the tent, and the warmth of Neji's hand still remained in his palm.

He sat next to the boy and gave a rare soothing smile.

"Without you, we would have a hard time finding even the herbs."

"Did Danzo give you a hard time?"

This is the first time Neji has spoken to Tobirama like this since they met again.

Previously, it was mostly mixed with some ambitions, like casual conversation among colleagues.

The current Tobirama has withdrawn from the identity of Hokage - only now, just for a moment.

There is the gentleness and delicacy that belongs to the elderly, as well as the love and care that comes from those close to you.

Like the morning sunshine, warm and powerful.

"Right now... not yet."

The current Danzo is still just Danzo Shimura, and has not yet become the leader of the Root who killed his father in secret.

"That's when you need him to make a change."

Tobirama took a sip of water, supported his left hand behind his back, and held the sunlight that squeezed in through the gap in the tent with his right hand.

Most likely, it has something to do with myself.

At this point, it was not difficult to guess that what Ningji was going to do would be related to himself.

If it were anything else, Neji would have left here long ago using an identity - just like he did when he went from Senju to Uchiha.

He didn't go anywhere, just stayed in Konoha.

It was only because he was about to go on a mission this time that he offered to go along.

Yes, this time he became Neci's "target".

It's a feeling that's hard to describe.

During these twelve years, Tobirama's imagined "what ifs" have reached a terrifying level.

What does it feel like when imagination becomes reality?

Surprise? Pleasure? Unbelievable?

But now, Tobirama just felt uneasy.

Some people are worried about his future decisions.

And that person was Neji.

It would be better if he wasn't the target.

However, the appeal of the word "it's him" is unprecedented.

“We’re always making choices.”

Tobirama felt mixed emotions, and at this moment, he made his choice.

“As you make your choice, we make our choice too.”

"This was never your choice alone, Neji."

Letting it be, the man's hand gently stroked Neji's back.

"It's our choice."

It is a choice that the Hokage cannot make, but it is the choice of Senju Tobirama.

He heard the young man coughing softly and then the sound of water being swallowed.

"Besides, if I were alone, the situation would only be worse than it is now."

The more Tobirama spoke, the less he felt like a Hokage.

But at least for now, let him be Tobirama Senju.

The future Hokage will be making his debut soon, and the responsibilities imposed on him will have to come to an end here.

There are so many things he can't do. After all, the position of Hokage should be done by someone like the eldest brother.

There is nothing more comfortable than helping others.

Perhaps it was because of his way of thinking that he brought Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo together.

Whether it is right or wrong can only be tested by time.

If people think too much, nothing will remain. Things that happen too far in the future are not what Tobirama needs to consider now.

He is always decisive and believes that everything happens for a reason - most research talents seem to share this idea, which can help capable people take the first step more easily.

But here is Neji.

Most likely Ningji whose last name is Hyuga.

Perhaps after his death, or after the death of Sarutobi Hiruzen and others, there is still Hyuga Neji active in the world.

"It's okay. It's fine now."

Tobirama was talking to Neji, and also to himself.

The turning points of time and history are never predictable by humans.

This is the fact, and craving is useless.

But now, Tobirama wanted to know something and wanted to have a near-perfect future.

If he had worked harder, would Hyuga Neji be able to live in a better era?
