Escape From Konoha

"Is it raining..."

When he woke up in the morning, Neji heard the sound of pattering and pattering from outside the house, obviously it was the sound of rain.

Judging by the size of the sound, it seems that the rain is not too small.

When I walked to the corridor outside, there was a stream of water on the eaves, which kept flowing into the courtyard.

The sky was overcast, and thunder could be heard faintly in the distance.

In this hot weather, it is a little pleasant to be able to occasionally encounter rainy days.

Even if Neji can bear hardships and stand hard work, it is not a problem to be exposed to the sun for a long time, but after all, he does not like this hot weather.

The light blowing wind brought the damp and earthy breath, and the sleepiness that was still a little sleepy, suddenly became awake.

It has been a few days since returning from the land of ghosts.

Although he was disrespectful in the game and was reprimanded by the Zong family after returning, in essence, he did not receive any substantive punishment, which was not something he could control.

Recalling the scene of the game that day, although I re-simulated it countless times in my brain, the result I got was that I ended up with a disastrous defeat.

And compared to the defeat in the war, he felt that the Zong family's distrust of the split family made him more gloomy.

Perhaps after returning from the land of ghosts, he became particularly sensitive to certain things, and was able to perceive things that he would never take the initiative to pay attention to before.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the woman named Hyuga Ayane is right. The Konoha Hyuga clan is indeed full of contradictions, and the relationship between the main family and the branch family seems to be very strange.

Thinking back to the fact that my father also vaguely revealed that there is a strong hostility between the Zong family and the branch family, it doesn't feel like a family is getting along at all.

Therefore, he also became hesitant to ask his father for a certain truth.

He wanted to know the answer, but he was also afraid that the answer he got would plunge him into pain and despair.

Separation... what is it?

Village... and what is it?

It seems that something is constantly preventing him from integrating into the family and into the village.

"Ningji."

A warm voice came from the other end of the corridor, and my father came over in his daily casual black plain clothes.

"Father."

Neji turned around and said hello slightly.

"You've been up late these days."

yes. \"

Neji nodded.

It's seven o'clock in the morning. Normally, he would get up at five in the morning for morning exercises.

"Are you still brooding over what the patriarch said?"

The clan meeting that day was also present, but it was not suitable for him to speak for Neji on that occasion.

He was worried that it would be self-defeating, complicating what was otherwise simple.

Neji fell silent and did not speak.

"You haven't mentioned this kind of thing since the clan association came back. I thought you didn't care about this kind of thing. But now it seems that your heart doesn't seem to care at all."

Days difference laughed.

Neji didn't know how to answer.

"They've always been like this, and there's no need to be upset about this."

Days difference comforted.

I'm not upset about this. Neji said something in his heart.

He is not yet vulnerable enough to admit defeat.

He also won't feel distressed because of the punishment from the Zong family, putting himself in a dilemma.

But seeing that his father would be wrong, Neji didn't intend to explain.

Father thinks that the clan maintains such a state, is it really good to continue? "

Neji asked.

"You mean...\"

"Through the test, I can more or less intuitively see the Hinata clan in the land of ghosts, which is completely different from what we have here."

Although the elders of the sect here, after watching the video of the game, will regard the soft fist of the Hyuga clan in the land of ghosts as a crooked way that deviates from the orthodoxy of Hyuga, but they still want to break their heads behind their backs, and they all want to study it. The tricks used by the border people.

Because they are enemies, they do not want to acknowledge the achievements of the other party, so they will use the name of orthodoxy to completely deny them.

But because it did bring a powerful deterrent effect, I could only despise and reject it, while secretly researching, thinking hard to get the powerful secret of the Hyuga clan in the land of ghosts that is different from the orthodox soft boxing.

For these dishonest clan elders, Neji suddenly understood a truth, preaching is meaningless, and only actions can make them obey.

"This is something the Zong family needs to consider."

Said day.

In other words, there is no reason for the separation, and there is no condition to intervene in such disputes.

Although it also belongs to the Hinata clan in name, it is at a disadvantage in nature. It is only a branch of the subordinate existence, and it cannot communicate directly with the Hinata clan in the land of ghosts like the clan.

Neji looked at the stagnant water in the yard and said nothing.

"Speaking of which, your friend just came to look for it, and it seems to be from the same team as you."

The day difference suddenly said.

Neji understood, it was Xiao Li and Tian Tian.

"Then I'll go out first."

"It doesn't matter if you come back later, just relax when it's time to relax."

Days difference smiled.

Neji glanced at Rizai, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.

"Ningji, this way!\"

Next to a shop not far from the Hyuga Clan, Neji saw Tian Tian waving at him.

She and Xiao Li were sitting on a bench under the eaves outside the shop, where they had breakfast.

"Is Mr. Kai not here yet?"

Neji didn't see Kai's figure, so he asked.

"Yeah, it seems that after coming back, many Shangin have become very busy. Yesterday, I just met Mr. Kai in a hurry."

Every day, he took out the extra hot rice **** and put them in front of Neji.

"Here, Neji, you probably haven't had breakfast yet."

thanks. \"

Neji felt a hint of warmth and a slight smile appeared on his face.

Compared with the family whose atmosphere is always dull and serious, and various rules, it is more relaxed to get along with the companions here.

Don't have to think about superfluous things.

Sometimes, he would also think, if only he was not born in the Hinata clan.

There's nothing wrong with being an ordinary ninja.

Although he doesn't care on the surface, he still feels a longing in his heart—the happiness called freedom.

Freedom... what does it feel like?

It seems that in this family, he never knew what it was like to be free.

Even if there is no caged bird spell, the various rules and regulations of the family still make him feel a lot of pressure.

"Is the injury all right, Lee?"

Neji looked towards Xiao Li and asked about his injury.

"The doctor said it would be a full recovery in another week."

Xiao Li said vigorously.

To a large extent, his injuries were caused by the excessive use of the Eight Gates Dunjia. It can be said that this is a dangerous move that can damage the enemy by one thousand and one hundred by one.

"Since this is the case, then don't do some extreme exercise during the recovery period. What if the injury recurs and suddenly comes to work?"

Dissatisfied every day said.

She knew that Xiao Li had been secretly doing overloaded physical exercises for the past two days, and was very worried that his injury that was about to recover would prolong the recovery time due to the excessive exercise.

"Tiantian, youth is not allowed to waste time!"

Xiao Li said seriously.

Tian Tian rolled his eyes, knowing that what he said was in vain.

"Do you have any plans for today?"

Neji bit the warm rice ball, swallowed it, and asked.

"Mr. Kai is not here, let's do whatever we want. But today is a rainy day, so it's not suitable to go out for training."

Looking at the gloomy sky every day, I don't really want to practice in this kind of weather.

Moreover, the Chunin exam had just passed, so she didn't want to devote her rare leisure time to her practice.

She is not a cultivator like Xiao Li.

"In that case, Tian Tian is a girl."

Xiao Li seemed to be thinking about something.

His unintentional words made the corners of his mouth twitch every day. Did she not act like a girl before?

"Ningji, what are your plans?"

"In my case, I probably want to rest at home."

Neji said without hesitation.

"I thought you would keep training in this bad weather, just like Li."

Tian Tian was surprised that she had rarely seen Neji so leisurely.

However, she can also guess something about the game.

On the surface, he doesn't care, but inside he will definitely be unwilling.

Therefore, Tian Tian Shi Interest did not extend the topic to this.

"Even I want to take a break occasionally. Also, I don't want to get wet all over and catch a cold."

I don't like hot weather, but it's too much to say that Ning likes it on rainy days.

"But it's not good to be too leisurely. You must become a Chunin as soon as possible. So let's go to Hokage-sama to take up the task later!"

Even on such a rainy day, which can quench people's enthusiasm, Xiao Li's whole body is full of enthusiasm to perform tasks, and he wants to exercise himself through various tempering and make himself grow rapidly.

After passing the Chunin exam this time, he seriously felt that his strength was insufficient. Compared with those top genin, he was still far behind.

"No, you will definitely take on those tiring tasks."

Tian Tian refused without hesitation.

\"why is it like this?"

And Mr. Kai isn't here either. We'll talk about the task later. "

"Yeah, this kind of thing is a bit out of place."

Neji nodded, he was not very enthusiastic about carrying out the task at the moment.

"I can't say the same thing. If it's a parent-child task, it's different."

\"Parent-child tasks?"

This new term made Xiao Li and Ningci look at Tian Tian in confusion.

"To put it simply, it is to perform tasks with family members who are also ninjas. Because the difficulty is small, and the task process is easy and pleasant, it will not appear distressing, and by the way, you can get close to your family and enjoy the warmth of family... Therefore, compared to the task , it's more like a family going on a trip. This is the origin of parent-child tasks. Why, don't you know?"

Instead, Tian Tian asked strangely.

Xiao Li shook his head without hesitation and said, "No, my parents are not ninjas, I had no idea that such a mission existed."

"Then Neji didn't experience it either?

Everyday asked curiously.

Neji hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, I've never been on a mission with my family."

I don't know what to say every day.

It would be excusable if it were those who just graduated, but they were graduates from the previous year, and the life of the genin had lasted for more than a year. Neji should have time to do this kind of task with his family.

"That's a pity. I heard that Ino and the others will do this kind of task with their family after a few days off. It's really admirable."

Like Xiao Li, Tian Tian's parents are not ninjas, they are just businessmen who opened a ninja tool shop, and have never experienced what it is like to perform tasks with their family members.

Neji was silent.

In fact, it's not just the so-called parent-child task, he doesn't even have the experience of traveling with his family.

Every time he wanted to travel with his family, his father used the excuse of the task to reject his requests.

Thinking of this, Neji couldn't help but cast a haze in his heart.

Neji suddenly stood up from the bench, Tian Tian and Xiao Li looked at him, always feeling that something had happened to Neji, and his face didn't seem very good.

"What's the matter, Neji?"

"Sorry, I suddenly remembered something at home, let's be here today."

"But, that you just... came here...

When Tian Tian wanted to say something, he saw Neji get up, shuttle in the rain, and return to the Hyuga clan's clan, making Tian Tian's retained words stop in his mouth, unable to continue.

"Neiji's state seems to be a little off. It's the first time I've seen such a serious expression on his face, and I always feel like something big is going to happen."

Xiao Li looked at Ningci's back, and felt that it was a little unusual for Ningci to suddenly go back.

"Will he be okay with Neji?"

Every day is also worried, did he say the wrong thing?

However, recalling what he had said before, he did not mean to offend anyone at all.

"At times like this, it's better to leave him alone. We've only done a disservice in the past."

This is Xiao Li's sincere speech.

He is very clear that there are some private matters, and there is no way for others to help.

As a companion, he could only pray that Neji would come out safe and sound.

"Really, if only Teacher Kai is here, I really don't know what he is busy with."

Complaining bitterly every day.

noon.

The rainy weather has not improved, but has a trend of getting worse and worse.

Seeing the figure of Ningji returning, the daily difference that just came back from the sect's territory was slightly stunned.

"Did you come back so early today?"

According to his guess, Neji should have lunch with his companions, and maybe he won't come back in the afternoon, until after dinner.

"Did father come back from the Zong family?"

Neji didn't answer the question.

"Yeah, it's my brother... No, it's the patriarch who asked me to go over and discuss some private matters."

Day almost nodded.

"Private business?"

"It's about Hinata."

Neji blinked, even more confused.

He didn't understand Hizu, the patriarch, and called his father over just to discuss Hinata's affairs.

If you are running around for the heir of the clan, then there is absolutely no point in looking for your own father.

In the matter of deciding the successor of the clan, although the branch has a little right to participate, it is only the right to participate, and the decision has always been in the hands of the clan.

The voting of the division is just a passing scene.

And private matters... which made Neji even more confused.

The daily difference did not explain directly, but took Neji into a nearby room. The door was not closed, and he could see the rain in the courtyard from here.

The father and son sat down on the floor face to face.

"Speaking of which, Neji, do you have a girl you like?

Neji's face was very strange for such a thing as a sudden question from the day.

Tian Tian's voice and appearance instantly appeared in his mind, but it was only for a moment, because Tian Tian was the girl of the same age he had contacted the most times, and as for the rest of the girls, he did not meet much.

During the ninja school period, he was often single. Although many girls had a good impression of him, to say that he liked this kind of thing,

Neji felt it was a little too early.

"Why does my father ask that?"

"Isn't there? I thought that with your ability, there would be many girls pursuing it."

Niizai said jokingly.

"I didn't think about it."

"It's really like your style."

"Then, about that so-called private matter, what is \"

Neji raised the topic, and was a little curious about the private affairs that Rizu went to the patriarch Rizu to discuss.

"According to the patriarch, Hinata seems to have a boy he likes."

Neji thought of the yellow-haired boy who was defending Hinata and quarreling with him on the way back.

Compared with his own heterosexual relationship, as a cousin Hinata seems to have less heterosexual relationship.

If Hinata really had a man he secretly liked, that Neji would lock on to the target all of a sudden.

"They are impossible."

Neji said directly.

Although the Hyuga clan has out-married people, the number is very small, and they are also subject to many restrictions.

What's more, Hinata is the young master of the clan who may inherit the position of the patriarch.

Even if Hinata takes a step back and fails to compete for the position of the patriarch, he is also the daughter of the patriarch Hizu, and the next elder sister of the patriarch Hyuga is of great significance to the clan.

For example, his father was the younger brother of the patriarch Hizu.

With this blood relationship, his father can be said to be the most trusted members of the clan.

Therefore, whether Hinata succeeds in competing for the position of the patriarch, she cannot marry out.

Therefore, if Hinata really likes a foreigner, Neji thinks that it will be good for both parties to break it as soon as possible.

"That child is called Naruto Uzumaki."

The day difference looked at the rain in the courtyard.

"Ok."

"That child's identity is a bit unusual."

?

Turning his head, seeing the stunned expression on Neji's face, Rizai smiled slightly.

"Whether it was in the past or now, it is very common for ninjas and ninjas to marry each other. Especially in the chaotic Warring States period, since there were no villages, the alliance between ninjas and ninjas was usually based on in-laws. For example, the first Hokage-sama who founded our Konoha Village, and his wife, Uzumaki Mito-sama, represent the union of the two families."

"swirl…"

Neji suddenly thought of something.

He thought of Uzumaki Xiangrin, who appeared in the finals of the Chunin Exam, who also had the same surname as Naruto.

This surname, I am afraid, represents an unusual meaning.

"Although it's a bit premature to say that, the patriarch's side is actually undecided. The things behind that child are too huge, even for our Hyuga clan, it is very difficult to deal with. Moreover, it is said that he and one of the three ninjas are very difficult to deal with. Jiraiya-sama has a good relationship. The Muji ninjutsu that he used in the Chunin exam to defeat Gaara was taught by Jiraiya-sama."

Neji didn't recover from the shock.

In his perception, the Hinata clan can be said to be the example of all Konoha ninjas. He could not imagine that the entire Hinata clan would give in because of a Uzumaki Naruto.

"I didn't expect him to have such a network."

"Lord Hokage also values ​​him very much. Because of this, the Zong family seems to be in a dilemma."

Days difference sighed.

Because the initiative in this matter is not in the hands of the Hyuga clan, but on the Hokage side.

Naruto's guardian is the third Hokage.

Even if the three generations of Hokage resign from the position of Hokage, the fact that the guardian is Hokage will not change.

What's more, there are Sannin behind him, and even the Minister of Anbu is inextricably linked with him.

Although the Hyuga clan has long been aware of this kind of thing, considering the intricate relationship behind Naruto, even the Hyuga clan does not dare to intervene at will, and can only let it develop.

After all, if Hinata really lost his status as the patriarch, then picking it out and marrying someone would also be a choice.

From the results, it does not seem to be a bad thing.

But the issue of face and tradition is still something that the Zong family needs to consider.

After the split, the Hyuga clan is too weak after all. If it is like the Uchiha clan in the past, even Hokage can face it head-on without fear.

Rilag couldn't help sighing, the time was pushed forward by twenty years, and the Hyuga clan would not be so cautious. That split has damaged the strength of the Hyuga clan too seriously.

Neji nodded absentmindedly.

It is not too early for the family to consider the issue of marriage so early.

Even now, it is not uncommon for a family to get married and have children at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

Compared with the Warring States Period, although the average life expectancy has increased a lot today, it is not much higher. Therefore, the population problem is still one of the major problems faced by villages and even a country.

The only task for those incompetent clansmen is to contribute to the family in terms of population.

Not only the Hinata clan, but also the rest of the ninja clan, and the village has specially introduced many preferential policies for this purpose.

"What about Hina-sama's thoughts? Has the patriarch talked to you?"

Neji asked.

"Not yet, the patriarch and the rest of the clan elders plan to wait and see what happens."

In the final analysis, I dare not put the initiative in my own hands.

With the degree of protection of Naruto by the three generations of Naruto, even if Naruto knew exactly what color of underwear he was wearing today, Rija couldn't believe that the three generations of Naruto knew nothing about the secret love of the patriarch and eldest daughter of the Hinata clan.

Is that so? "

"You should pay attention to this matter in the future. After all, that is your cousin. She is different from the rest of the clan."

Niizai looked at Neji and said.

"I know that I will pay attention to this aspect in the future. Lord Hinata is not suitable for the environment of the clan."

Neji nodded and agreed, even if he didn't ask for it, he planned to do it.

"That's fine, fine, it's almost time for lunch, let's...\"

"Father."

Neji suddenly stopped the errand and sat still.

"What's wrong?"

Rizai looked at Neji suspiciously and sat down again.

"I want to do parent-child tasks with you later."

Neji looked up and met Riza's eyes, revealing a hint of desire.

Parent-child tasks? "

He was stunned, and he didn't know why Neji suddenly made this request.

He knew about parent-child missions, that is, on the premise that children and parents are ninjas, going out to perform missions together is a novel way of family travel.

"Well, since I've never experienced anything like this, I want to know what it's like. Can you, father?"

Neji looked at Ripa with hopeful eyes.

Rizai was silent, a trace of guilt and pain flashed on his face because it was not just a parent-child task, he found that even the so-called travel, he could not give Neji.

"Sorry, the recent clan affairs..."

The daily difference can only be dismissed as busy with business~www.readwn.com~ In fact, I returned to the family three hours ago, and found other branch ninjas as old as me, and asked some questions. "

Rizai's eyes dodged a little, as if fear and Neji looked at each other.

"Father, do you know? It's a coincidence, those who are the same age as me, they are like me, they have never performed parent-child tasks with their family members, no, they don't even have the experience of traveling with their family members, It's an interesting coincidence."

As Ningji spoke, Rizai took a deep breath and looked at Ningji with complicated eyes.

In this complicated gaze, there is still gratification.

Because he suddenly realized that his child has grown up and can think about problems on his own, instead of being sheltered under his wings.

But what followed was a burst of sadness and helplessness.

"what do you wish to ask?"

"When I went to the country of wind and the country of ghosts to take the exam, my father was not doing a task at all, but was monitored, right?"

Neji stared at Ripa's face, as if trying to find the answer he was looking for.

He clenched his fists, almost sinking his fingernails into his flesh.

Looking at Rizai's eyes, there is longing, but also worry, more anger, and a strong hatred that even he himself has not noticed!

For the sake of the family, the separation of the family was born and died, and the result was only in exchange for this end.

Zong family!
