Escape From Konoha

Dark clouds covered the sky, thunder light flashed in the clouds, and there was a faint roar passed down.

The raindrops seemed to be falling faster.

It was only noon, but the sky seemed to let the night fall ahead of time.

The dull atmosphere squeezed into the room made it hard to breathe.

Most of the figure with the day difference was shrouded in the shadow of the wall of the room, looking at Neji's pair of white pupils, the color was very bright.

Although he had already anticipated Neji's question, this day would come sooner or later.

But he didn't expect this day to come so quickly, which caught him off guard, and he didn't even prepare the words of defense in advance.

No, in front of a smart, clear-minded son, any explanation with sophistry is meaningless.

What's more, Neji personally went to verify this.

Because once something is noticed, it's hard not to be suspicious and suspicious.

Facing the silent father, Neji clenched his fists tighter and tighter. Although his chest was filled with boundless anger, surprisingly, his tone was extraordinarily calm.

"When is this kind of thing..."

when?

Really ambiguous question.

The day difference sighed in his heart.

There is really no need to hide this kind of thing.

"The regulations have been in place since ancient times, but after the split seventeen years ago, the Zong family has only become more restrictive in terms of restrictions on separation."

Days difference lightly replied.

"Seventeen years ago..."

Neji was stunned, not too surprised.

Seventeen years ago, that was when Ayane Hinata defected to Konoha.

If that year is used as the dividing line, then a lot of things can really make sense.

"That's right. Coincidentally, the third ninja war broke out that year, and Konoha was forced to be involved in the battlefield. The Hyuga clan, who should have gone all out to fight on the front line, ended up being betrayed by Hyuga Ayane. Had to hide in the village in the early stage of the war, unable to send manpower to the front line to support.”

"Is it because the other party has the ability to crack the caged bird?"

Neji asked.

Riba recalls the scene of that year, and it seems to be vivid and fresh in my memory.

"Yes, this technology was obtained by a person who was hostile to the Hinata clan, and the consequences were more terrible than imagined. However, the village was tight on the frontline, and the retreating strategy of the Hinata clan attracted many people's dissatisfaction. As a last resort, in order to Send clansmen to the battlefield as soon as possible to support, and at the same time appease the high-level, the clan at that time could only control the branch by extreme means."

That is to monitor the families of all the branch ninjas who go out to carry out missions, and monitor them 24 hours a day without interruption.

Once the outgoing branch ninjas defected or acted unfavorably to the clan, their family members were executed.

Using his family as a deterrent, the split family, who was born with two hearts, was dissatisfied, but could only obey all the orders of the clan.

Such a result, Neji can guess with a little brainstorming.

"At that time, Anbu, who was directly under Hokage, also assisted the clan's operations. Every move of the branch was monitored to prevent the defectors from rebelling. The effect was also obvious. During the Third Ninja World War, the branch affiliated to Konoha. No one in the family defected, although there may be some careful thinking behind the scenes, but under the coercive policy of the Zong family, they dare not act recklessly on the surface. At this point, the Zong family and the branch family are reunited on the surface, restoring 'trust' relation."

But this kind of 'trust' is based on the safety of the family members, threatening the separation of the family, and forcing the establishment of a 'trust' relationship with the clan.

Such trust can be said to be fragile.

Once such a relationship is broken, there will be no room for buffer between the branch and the clan, and a fierce conflict will inevitably break out.

But the good thing is that as long as there is no accident, then the Zong family and the branch family are still as close as a family on the surface, trusting each other, and maintaining the original contract.

And as a daily errand that has been given a high degree of trust by the clan, it is also unavoidable.

He and Neji couldn't leave the village at the same time. When one went out, the other had to stay in the family and be under 24-hour surveillance by the clan like prisoners.

"Sure enough..."

Neji closed his eyes sadly, breathing heavily.

Although it had been expected, but coming to such a conclusion from his father's daily errands, humiliation and anger inevitably emerged in his heart, so that a dark feeling that wanted to destroy everything was born in his heart.

What does the guy from the Zong family think of splitting the family?

Is such a clan really worthy of his continued loyalty?

After the anger, Neji opened his eyes with unprecedented confusion.

He no longer knew what he fought for in the past.

I don't know who to fight next.

It doesn't matter what life feels like.

Whether it was the family or the village, he had no reason to fight for it.

What's the point of continuing to cultivate and become stronger?

Anyway, that's the only way in this life.

Neji's will quickly sank, his eyes lost the light, he lowered his head, and his mind was full of negative thoughts.

Although he can force himself to continue fighting, whether it is fighting for the family or fighting for the village, just imagining it makes him feel extremely repulsive.

Thinking of the indifferent attitude of the elders of the branch family, Ningci suddenly understood why they faced life so calmly. Calm and calm.

Only the younger generation who are separated are deceived.

But young people always grow up until they realize this cruel truth, and then they become like those separated elders, living in the family with the attitude that everything doesn't matter.

Even hateful thoughts are likely to be too lazy to express, because they are meaningless.

Neji smiled bitterly.

Before knowing the answer, all he thought about was how to fight for the family and the village.

But now, such thoughts have completely disappeared from my mind.

"Sorry, I seem a little tired. I'll go back to rest first, father."

Seeing Neji walking out of the room in a state of despair, Rizai wanted to keep him, but he just opened his mouth, not knowing what words to use to comfort him, and in the end he could only silently watch his back and disappear from sight.

Hope he can come out of the shadows and get back on his feet.

"Zongjia, alas..."

In the room, there was a sighing sound of daily difference.

It's pointless to keep going on like this.

Tossing and turning in bed, what Neji recalled in his mind was the words he said at noon, which made him unable to let go for a long time.

He was only thirteen years old this year, and when he thought about the next few decades, it might be meaningless to live like a walking corpse, and Neji couldn't help feeling sad and depressed.

But self-termination was too extreme, at least Neji didn't have any thoughts of committing suicide, even though he no longer had much expectations for the future.

And the root of everything is not caused by that woman, Hyuga Ayane, the root of everything unreasonable is the caged bird. Hyuga Ayane is at best the last straw that overwhelms the trust relationship between the clan and the branch. The hidden problems within the Hyuga clan have already appeared, and they were not brought by Hyuga Ayane.

Therefore, Neji did not have the slightest hatred for the Hinata clan in the land of ghosts.

Some are just envy, and some are unexplainable desires.

In this family, and in this village, I can no longer find a reason to fight for it, and the dream of life has become worthless and vanished.

As long as the mark on his forehead is not removed, no matter how optimistic he is about life, Neji will still feel resentful and repulsive.

Humans are such creatures.

Even if you look at the same things, watch the same scenery, and talk about the same things, the resulting feelings are completely different.

The joys of those people cannot be experienced, nor can they empathize with them.

It's like they don't understand what the inner world of people who have lost their freedom is like.

Therefore, rather than being depressed and helpless, Neji was more at a loss for the future.

It's like coming to a fork in the intersection of multiple roads. It looks like you can go on any road, but it seems that whichever road you go down is unsatisfactory, there is no value to go on, and you live empty.

If you are restrained from freedom, you will be insulted in terms of personality, and even your closest family members will be subjected to extreme injustice, then it is inevitable to have such an idea.

Reality is so empty.

Now the only freedom I have is probably only dreaming.

Neji couldn't help laughing at himself.

He can also try not to think about it, be a fool who doesn't know anything, but now as long as his eyes are closed, he can only feel the emptiness in his heart, no matter what, Ningji doesn't like this kind of self-deception.

Looking out the window, the thunderstorm had stopped for some time.

It was already dark, and before he knew it, he had been thinking about it for a long time in bed.

He hadn't eaten anything for a day since eating two rice **** in the morning, and Neji felt a little hungry and wanted to find something to fill his stomach.

In any case, life still has to go on, at least there may be hope for living.

Although this hope is very slim.

Just when he got up and was about to get out of bed, his body suddenly froze, and a cold air rushed from the soles of his feet to the Tianling Gai, like an ice cave.

A figure appeared in the shadowy corner of the room at some point, with a pair of sharp eyes staring straight at him in the dark.

"Who!?"

Neji jumped to the side, put on a soft fist, and looked warily at the shadow in the corner of the wall.

With his strength, he was completely unaware that there was an extra person in the room. Although it was true that he was immersed in thinking, it also showed the strength of this intruder.

Onin.

And it's still a powerful Jōnin.

Otherwise, it is impossible to sneak into his room silently.

"Don't be nervous, it's me."

The figure slowly walked out from the corner. It was a male with a kind smile, and he didn't mind Neji's vigilance at all.

He has the same white eyes as Ningci, but he is much older than Ningci. He is about twenty-six or seven years old, with black hair and a shawl, and a handsome face.

It is a unique symbol of the Hinata clan.

"Are you... Senior Yukina?"

Seeing the man's appearance, Neji was taken aback and recognized his identity.

Sunshine Snow.

The leading elite of the Hinata clan, Jounin.

Although they are not elders who are separated from their families, their status does not need to be inferior to elders.

Moreover, he has won the trust of the Zong family, and has done a lot of things for the Zong family to oppress the branch family, and he has an extremely poor reputation among the branch families.

Not only that, but he is also very at odds with his father, and the two often have disputes over political views.

It can be said that he is a loyal lackey to the Zong family.

Having said that, Neji's understanding of him was only through written information, but in reality, the number of times he met with each other was very limited.

He couldn't figure out why such a character would come to him.

But thinking that the other party is the die-hard lackey of the Zong family, could it be said that his dissatisfaction with the Zong family has been discovered?

Thinking of this, Neji appeared calm on the surface, but his heart began to get nervous.

It doesn't matter if you have an accident, it will be troublesome if your father is implicated.

"Are you surprised? I've always wanted to meet you alone, the famous genius of the Hinata clan."

Hyuga Xuejian smiled slightly.

"You flatter me."

Neji put down his soft fist, no matter what, the opponent was also the elite of the clan, and he still had to have a respectful attitude.

"I don't know if Senior Xuejian has anything to do with me?"

After a moment of silence, Neji said, asking the other party's specific purpose.

Hyuga Xuejian always had a smile on his face. The fake smile that was visible to the naked eye gave people a very cold connotation and could not feel the slightest warmth.

"Although I came to you on a request, it's not a lie that I'm interested in your genius."

"Entrusted?"

Neji was slightly stunned.

"Yeah, because you're just like me.\"

The smile on Hyuga Yukima's face was full of mystery, making Neji unpredictable.

"What's the meaning?"

Neji didn't want to play dumb with him.

"Over the years, there are only a few branch members who have been honored to be personally invited by Ayane-sama, and you are one of them."

Hearing Hyuga Yukama's words, Neji's pupils suddenly widened in shock. Because the news was too shocking, Neji began to tremble when he spoke.

"You are!?"

traitor! The word suddenly popped into Neji's mind.

He didn't expect that this branch elite Jōnin, who often used the power of the clan to bully the clan, and even willing to become the lackey of the clan, would actually be a spy planted by the enemy country in the clan!

Neji's hands and feet became cold.

Even this kind of person is a spy. How far has the Hyuga clan been infiltrated?

Hyuga Yukoma seemed satisfied with the shock on Neji's face, and said with a smile:

"Next, I think we should have a good common topic\"

The Hokage Building was shrouded in darkness, and it was brightly lit inside.

"Then, if you are promoted to Chunin personnel in this exam, it is certain that only Sasuke Uchiha is the only one."

Inside Hokage's office, Hizan looked at Kakashi who was standing in front of the desk and said.

Kakashi took over the appointment letter handed over by Kakashi, and the promotion of Sasuke to Chunin has been confirmed.

"Congratulations, Kakashi."

Kakashi congratulated.

"Ah, thanks."

Kakashi scratched his head without being too pretentious, and accepted such congratulations calmly.

In fact, it was almost the same as what he expected.

In the final final, only Sasuke and Naruto had the experience of defeating their opponents, and the rest of the contestants were eliminated in the first round.

But compared to Sasuke's comprehensive conditions, Naruto's basic conditions are too low, obviously not suitable for promotion to Chunin.

At least Kakashi couldn't imagine which ditch Naruto would lead the team to when he became the squad leader.

Just thinking about it makes my head hurt.

"That kid in my family can't do it at all. He was eliminated in the qualifiers. It seems that he needs to restrict his leisure time."

Kakashi said in annoyance.

Although his son may seem like a sluggish person, he also has great expectations.

But he didn't even make it to the finals, so no matter what, it's hard to be promoted to Chunin.

If you miss this opportunity, you can only wait for the next Chunin exam.

"It's just a little later, there's no need to worry at all."

Kakashi said.

"Then it's your blessing."

Lu Jiu nodded, he still had this confidence.

"The main point of the next thing, it's time to start the arrangements in Anbu."

Said at this time.

Both Kakashi and Shikaku looked serious.

Has Tsunade-sama agreed? "

"It's been over since I asked Jirai, no matter what, she has the blood of the first generation of adults flowing through her body, and she is the fifth-generation Hokage that Konoha expects. There is no time for her to be willful."

Ri Zhan said so firmly, as if he had made up his mind.

"Five Hokage? It's finally time."

Lu Jiu let out a sigh of relief, and it seemed that the burden on his body became heavier.

"The daimyo side has already agreed, and the only thing left is the issue of Tsunade's return. As for Danzo, what's the trend these days?"

Hizan looked at Kakashi.

Monitoring the roots is also one of Anbu's jobs.

Especially in this special case, the work of monitoring the roots should not be sloppy.

"Everything is normal at the moment, but I don't think it's that simple here."

Kakashi replied.

"Yeah, that's what worries me too."

Rijian was worried.

If Danzo came out to disrupt the situation at this time, it would make him feel at ease, but he didn't make a sound like this, and he didn't know what was going on in the dark.

It made Hiyori feel restless.

Such Danzo must be secretly plotting some major conspiracy.

Only by bringing Tsunade back to Konoha as soon as possible and letting all the dust settle, can the thoughts that shouldn't arise in Danzo's mind be dispelled.

Even his Hokage doesn't know how much the roots have grown, how many people are there, and how many radicals are secretly contacted.

Once these people riot, it is a very scary thing.

"Do I need to dispatch some people here?"

Kakashi suggested.

For the root, he also has no good way.

Danzo does things basically without leakage, and it is difficult to find a handle.

The roots are even more deeply hidden, and the power is huge. Even among the Nara clan, there are some voices who seek refuge in Danzo. Although these voices are small, it also shows that the current situation is grim.

The Danzo that unites so many martial arts factions has already threatened Hokage.

"Not for the time being, it's not that far."

Rijian also considered using the power of the three clans of pigs, deer and butterflies, but gave up after thinking about it.

Doing so will only scare the snakes and let Danzo hide deeper.

"Kakashi, you are temporarily returning to Anbu until the fifth Hokage is confirmed."

Rijian quickly made arrangements.

Considering the mobility, it would be better for Anbu to monitor the movement of the root.

"The seventh class\"

"I will find another Jōnin to replace it temporarily."

"Yes, I'm fine."

Looking at Kakashi's retreat, Hizan also leaned back against the seat and exhaled slowly, and his wrinkled face was full of tiredness.

This body is really getting worse and worse.

In the dark jungle, a frog shuttled through the forest, jumping in front of Jiraiya as fast as lightning, and croaked twice.

Jiraiya crouched down and took out a scroll from the frog's open mouth.

Looking at the text on the scroll with the help of moonlight, Jiraiya frowned after reading it.

"Still haven't found it yet?"

This is the information from Anbu.

This time he came out to find Tsunade, and brought two groups with a total of eight Anbu members, each of whom was a ninja with a strong search ability.

But it's been quite a while since he left Konoha, but unfortunately, Tsunade's whereabouts have not been found so far.

Whether it is himself or Anbu Yin, it can be said that he has gained nothing.

The only information I got was that a week ago, Tsunade seemed to have appeared in a casino in Lin Zhiguo, and then disappeared, and disappeared mysteriously.

Did you go to the Shitbone Forest to avoid me? Jiraiya frowned~www.readwn.com~ Although he could find the location of the Shibone Forest through Miaomu Mountain, it is the domain of the Slug Immortal. If Tsunade is determined not to see it, it is estimated that he will eventually We can't even get in through the door of Shizuku Forest.

Moreover, he didn't think Tsunade would suddenly go to the Shitbone Forest at this time, there was absolutely no need for it.

"It's really troublesome work, so I don't even have time to collect materials"

Jiraiya also complained.

At this point in time, it was obviously an important time for him to collect materials in the hot hot springs.

As a result, the gloomy cold wind was blowing in such a place, leaving Jiraiya at a loss for a while.

Originally, I wanted to end this kind of work sooner, but Tsunade's trace is really difficult to grasp at the moment, and Jirai also doesn't know when this will be the result.

"However, then again, this is a bit strange. Tsunade's traces have disappeared so completely. This is the first time I have encountered it."

Jiraiya's expression became serious, he suddenly remembered something, touched his chin, and began to ponder.

In the past, Tsunade would deliberately avoid Konoha's sight, but he would not leave a trace.

But this time is different, as if the world has evaporated, there is no clue to find.

"I hope nothing happens to her."

Zilai also looked up at the bleak moon above his head, suppressing the deep anxiety in his heart.
