The life of a villain starting from Naruto.

Chapter 176 Gravekeeper

"Hizashi, what is your unborn child's name?"

"I don't know, Jiuzhenli and I haven't discussed it yet."

"Stay with her more. After all, once you leave, you won't know when you will come back here. Maybe you won't have the chance in the future."

"I understand the rules. Patriarch, once you enter the tomb, you will treat yourself as a dead person."

The dead never leave their graves.

In the quiet room where no one else was around, the steam of the tea rose up, cutting off the sight of the two brothers.

Clan leader... Rizu sighed in his heart, only to feel that the fragrant tea in his mouth became bitter.

Hizashi, don't you even want to be called "brother"?
Hinata and Hinata were silent for a long time, and then slowed down their tone:

"As long as I live, Jiuzhenli and your children will not be bullied, and their food and clothing will be first-class."

"Every time you have a birthday, I will go to the grave to visit you, tell you about Jiu Zhenli and the children, and bring you some good wine, good food and novelties from the outside world. As long as you want, I can give you even the most precious treasure. Get it here."

"Ah."

Hyuga Hizashi is the head of the branch family and the younger brother of Rizu. He is quite prestigious in the clan. After talking to his brother, he spent a long time socializing in the big house outside and was almost the last one to leave.

"Ah."

He is the leader of the clan and must put Hinata's overall interests above his personal affairs.

"Jiu Zhenli." He stepped forward and said displeasedly:
"In two months, your due date will be here. Go back quickly. Didn't Tsunade-hime say that although pregnant people should exercise moderately, they must also ensure enough rest..." Hizashi said halfway, suddenly Pause.

Ever since he found out about Tennin's death, Hyuga Hizashi began to look for the next gravekeeper. After much deliberation, he found that the only one who could endure the loneliness and would never betray him was his younger brother Hizashi.

"Ah."

Hinata Hizu pressed his tongue tightly with his teeth, fearing that he would say something like "I will secretly arrange for you to meet your wife and children."

When Hizashi returned to his mansion, the first thing he saw was the woman sitting in the courtyard.

"Brother." Hinata Hizashi suddenly spoke and said with a sad smile:
"All I know is that I will never see Kumari and her unborn child."

"After you enter the grave, I will publicize that you died in the mission. It will not damage your name. The village and clan will only think that you are a hero who sacrificed for everyone."

Rizu's throat seemed to be choked by something.

……

It wasn't until midnight that the tribesmen dispersed.

I am the clan leader, so I must put aside all personal relationships... Rizu thought.

His younger brother Hizashi is a person who can hide his emotions better than himself. He usually has no expression and only focuses on protecting himself as the head of the branch family.

What he said to Hizashi was not a lie. The huge tomb where countless corpses were buried did need regular repairs. Once a large amount of external chakra entered, it would cause disastrous consequences, and the successor could not wait without delay.

"Hizashi, I don't want to make this decision, but the previous tombkeeper is dead. The tomb's spells need to be maintained regularly, and the corpse must be treated with potions every once in a while. Hizashi, you understand. You are my biological brother, I trust you the most..."

The brothers' conversation stopped there, and there was only the sound of bubbling boiling water in the quiet room.

In fact, Hizashi loved to laugh when he was young. Whenever he was scolded by his strict father, Hizashi would laugh and stuff candies into his hands... But since he was six years old, Hizashi's forehead has been carved with a caged bird. After that, he never smiled like that again.

Under the moonlight, my wife had tears streaming down her face.

After five years of sleeping together, Hyuga Kumari knew very well what kind of character her husband was. With a tiny movement, Kumari could see the farewell in Hizashi's heart.

"Hizashi...it will be difficult for me to see you again in the future, right?"

The family leader opened his mouth and was silent for a long time. He held his wife in his arms and slowly stroked her hair.

Five years ago, Hizashi and Hisari got married, but they didn't get along well at first. He even complained to Hizashi privately about Hisari's hair being too long, "As a ninja, you don't have to worry too much about your appearance. Your hair is so long that it makes you look uncomfortable." Like a butterfly, can it still make it come back to heaven?"

The day after he said this, Kumaru shaved her hair into shoulder-length hair.

She was pregnant last year. According to the tradition of the Fire Nation, Jiu Zhenli seldom touched sharp objects, and naturally she didn't know how to cut her hair. Now her black hair is fluttering.

Thinking about it now, Hinata Hizashi felt that he was really a complete bastard back then.

What about short hair and long hair? It’s not like Jiu Zhenli will go to the battlefield, so just let her be happy.

Unfortunately, he understood it too late.

……

After a few days of peaceful life, Hizu was Hizashi's elder brother after all, so he gave him a lot of grace, allowing his younger brother to have time to concentrate on spending time with his family.

However, as time passed, Hizashi was worried that the spells in the tomb would not be maintained, so one evening, he formally issued an order for Hizashi to perform a "major mission."

Early the next morning, at the gate of Konoha Village.

Hinata Hizashi turned around and said to Hisamari:

"Go back, you have nothing to give, you still have a baby in your belly."

"Hizashi..."

"Be obedient. If you have anything to do, go to the clan leader. As long as you are not guilty of treason, he will definitely protect you and your child. After all, Rizu is... my biological brother."

Hizashi touched his wife's hair and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up:
"People in Konoha Hospital said that our child is a boy?"

"Yes, although there is a rule not to reveal the gender of the fetus, my relationship with Tsunade-sama is okay, and Yuuto is from our separate family. The doctors dare not hide this from me..."

"In this case, let's call our child Neji."

"Ningji?" Jiuzhenli stroked her belly:
"What a strange name...does it mean anything?"

"Neji, Neji, doesn't it sound like a rumbling train?" Hizashi's eyes were full of hope and tenderness:
"I hope that this child will not become like me."

"Even if you are a caged bird, you must open your heart and live openly."

"As a father, I have given up everything for my family and my brother. This is my decision with no regrets."

"But if it were a train that was rumbling forward, it would have taken another route and had a different ending, right?"

"Neji, Neji... don't become [the person everyone expects]."

"Live happily, that's enough."

As a branch of the family, the man who devoted everything to his family and his brother was named Hyuga Hizashi.

Whether it is the current "I entered the withered grave and never left the outside world", or in the original work "I was killed instead of Hizu and the body was sent to Kumogakure", Hinata Hizashi was the victim.

But even for such a dedicated man, on the eve of his departure, his blessing to his unborn child was to "walk another way."

The other road...what kind of road is it?

Hinata Hizashi didn't dare to think deeply about this issue. He just hugged his wife tightly and enjoyed the last embrace in his life.

However, what the parting couple didn't know was that in the forest far away, the young man was closing his eyes and holding his breath, carefully feeling the direction from which the chakra was coming.

He also has pure white eyes.
