Chapter 39 Return to Konoha

Itanium led people to take the medicine cart away.

Seeing them drifting away, both Xiao Li and Tenten were a little embarrassed and worried.

The businessman’s business seems to have been exposed, Kakashi looks very smart, I am afraid you can guess what happened?

Mr. Guy…

But soon, this sentiment was replaced by concern about Neji’s sentiment.

The two of them moved to Neji’s side, held him, and asked him what happened these days.

Neji is really speechless, he is not crippled and lame, he has not yet reached the point where he needs someone to walk. But the two of them looked firm, he struggled twice and didn’t break away, so it was just that.

“Actually, the past few days have been wonderful.”

Neji briefly talked about what happened in the past few days, and both Xiao Li and Tenten were shocked.

Don’t talk about them, Guy is also very curious and listens carefully. Only Kakashi, lowered his head, stuck Kabuto and walked aside, seeming to be thinking and analyzing while listening.

After speaking, everyone also understood why people in the Kingdom of Rain would treat him so well.

“No wonder, Neji, you have saved so many of them, so I must be grateful to you!” Xiao Li suddenly realized.

Tenten lowered his voice with some worry and fear: “Neji, you don’t take your own safety seriously. In case…”

“I thought I was able to fight. It’s not reckless.” Neji said, then comforted, “Anyway, it’s over now, just relax.”

“Yeah!” Tenten smiled upon hearing the words, “When I return to Konoha, I will treat you to a big meal!”

“Okay. Ah, yes.”

Neji pulled back the arm held by Xiao Li and touched it in his arms.

“This… give it back to you.”

He took out the special kunai given to him by Tenten before, with light blue flower spikes tied to the tail.

Tenten saw that he took out the place where kunai was taken out, and his cheeks were red: “Why do you put it in that place…”

“…?”

Neji was puzzled.

“Put it in the inner pocket of your shirt, so it’s not easy to lose. And if it’s stuck in front of the heart, if there is any attack against the heart, it might be able to withstand one or two.”

He didn’t say this, he said, when he said “close to the heart” or something, Tenten blushed even more, and he didn’t answer at all.

“Here you are.”

“… Take it! I’ll give it to you!”

“…Tenten, didn’t you say this is your father’s birthday present?”

Tenten turned his head and said, “That’s a lie to you! I just said that if you want you to cherish your life, you take it seriously, what a fool!”



“…”

“Haha! Neji, you are a genius when you are fooled!” Xiao Li couldn’t help but said with a happily smile.

Kakashi secretly pulled Guy aside: “Ah Guy, is Xiao Li always so mindless? It’s exactly the same as when you were a kid.”

Guy’s face turned black, and he was helpless.

The adults naturally heard that Tenten was talking nonsense, but the fool Xiao Li really believed it.

As for Neji…

She looked at Tenten with red ears, paused, and put Kunai back into the inner pocket of her jacket.

“Okay, then I will accept it.”

“…”

“Tenten, kunai is something to protect yourself.” Neji’s voice is gentle, but his tone is serious, “Now you give it to me, I will replace it, and protect you in the future.”

“Neji…”

Tenten was stunned. He didn’t expect him to say such a thing, and his brain was empty for a while.

Guy and Kakashi were both dumbfounded. The latter regained his senses and touched his chin: This generation of little ghosts are really amazing… Are they all talking like this? Much better than us middle-aged uncles.

Very good, maybe the peace of the Ninja world in the future will be won by the eloquence of the younger generation!

On the other hand, Xiao Li, who has only a real stick, didn’t understand what was going on, so he didn’t get too busy and leaned forward:

“Tenten, I will also protect you in the future!”

“……Know it!”

Tenten regained his senses when he heard his voice, and gave Xiao Li a furious look. This guy with thick eyebrows has to pick this time to spoil the atmosphere!

I didn’t see Neji and I… I was so angry!

Xiao Li naturally didn’t know the situation, and it was exactly the same. Why did Neji say what he said, but the effect is completely different?

Feeling aggrieved, Xiao Li walked to Guy to seek comfort: “Mr. Guy?”

Guy patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: “Xiao Li, sometimes, you really remind me of my former self!”

Back to Konoha, it was already three days later.

As soon as Neji went to his home, Hyuga Hiashi brought his two daughters over and asked about the situation.

“You’re fine.” After Neji explained the outline, Hyuga Hiashi said, “Otherwise, I really don’t know…”

“I understand. You don’t need to say more.”

“……Well.”

Hyuga Hiashi looked at Neji, and only felt that Neji now is completely different from a few months ago.

There is a sense of renewal.

After he left, Hinata and Hanabi also expressed concern.

“Brother Neji, you have worked hard…” Hinata was a little stiff.

When she was a child, she and Neji had a good relationship, but later, she became more and more alienated, almost like strangers.

Although Neji is now different from before, the relationship between the two has not improved much. It’s not that Neji doesn’t want to, but that the two usually don’t have many opportunities to meet.

Unlike Hanabi, who runs to him every three to five times, the relationship can’t be worse.

“Brother Neji, your words don’t count!” Hanabi frowned and complained, “I said that I would be back for half a month, but now it’s almost a month! Also, I clearly said that I won’t let myself be dangerous…”

“Sorry, sorry.” Neji looked at the little girl with red eyes and patted her little head, “I promise, not next time.”



“It’s better to be like this!”

The familiar and intimate conversation between the two of them surprised Hinata by the side.

She didn’t know when the relationship between her sister and Neji brother became so close.

“Then tomorrow, Brother Neji, take a look at the boxing I practiced these days, I will improve a lot!”

“OK.”

at the same time.

On the other hand, in Hokage’s office, Third Generation was smoking a cigarette while listening to Kakashi’s report.

“You mean, these rebels will replace Rain Shinobi and become the new military force of the Rain Country?” Third Generation repeated Kakashi’s conclusion with some surprise.

“Yes.” Kakashi said, a face hidden behind the mask, showing no emotion.

“Those rebels controlled the border of the Rain Country. According to Neji, the town they captured just a few days ago seems to be’Windstone Town’.”

Third Generation looked down at the rain country map spread out on the table.

“Fengshi Town” is very conspicuous. It is a strategically important place and a transportation hub in the Land of Rain. And this place is very close to Rain Shinobi Village, close enough to launch a raid overnight.

If even here is captured…

Third Generation took a breath: “It seems that we will have a conversation with the representative of the new Hidden Village in Rain Country soon. The premise is that they want to talk to us.”

“I’m afraid so.”

“Ha ha……”

Third Generation laughed a few times, not knowing whether he expected it or hated it.

After a while, he suddenly said, “The Neji child seems to be very popular with them.”

Kakashi raised his eyebrows and squinted, “Probably the most popular fire countryman.”

“Um……”

Kakashi helped forehead protector, seeming to be joking: “But that kid, to be honest, doesn’t seem like someone who can sneak in as a spy.”

The Third Generation action paused: “Oh?”

Kakashi shrugged: “Too handsome, too conspicuous, and unsuitable for espionage by nature.”
