Chapter 40

“Tingling~”

The wind chime hanging on the door made a sound, Tian Dad looked up at the daughter who entered the door and smiled.

“Tenten, I’m back.”

“Um.”

“Seeing you are so happy, you must have brought Neji back.”

“Yeah! I got it back!”

Tenten sat down on the chair and looked at the ninja hanging on the wall. Through the reflection of the blade, he could see that his expression was unnatural.

Knowing daughter Mo Ruo father, Tian Dad put his sleeves in, hehe asked: “What’s the matter, Tenten, so happy?”

“Where is…”

“Not yet, let’s see how you smile.”

“Hate!” Tenten covered his face.

Heavenly Dad was someone who came here anyway. Seeing this scene, he said in his heart: It’s broken.

“Ahem! Tenten, Dad is not an old antique, I know you young people are youthful and energetic. Let’s talk about it, what about the karma that Dad gave you?”

“Hey? How did you know, Dad!”

Dad Tian said helplessly: “Why don’t you know, you usually take it out when you have nothing to do. As a result, since Neji stayed in the country of rain, until now I picked him up, I haven’t seen you take it out for so many days. . It can only be that I am not on you.”

… When did Dad be so smart?

Tenten was shocked. In her impression, her father had always been a simple and honest middle-aged man.

However, she didn’t know that any father, no matter how stupid he was, would become a detective when it came to his daughter.

“…Dad, you won’t be angry if I tell you.”

Hey.

Tian Dad was already mad with his waist in his waist.

He knew what it meant as soon as he said it. If he accidentally lost it, he would definitely not say that.

“Give it away?”

“Um……”

“Let me guess, it’s definitely not for Xiao Li.”

“of course!!”

Tian Dad sighed, “Neji’s kid is not a fuel-efficient lamp.”

Tenten pouted, “Dad, why do you say that Neji? He’s very good.”

“It’s very good, tall and handsome, just like your dad when I was young.”

“…”

“However, it is precisely because of this that it is easy to attract bees and butterflies.” Tian Dad pretended not to see the speechlessness in his daughter’s eyes, and continued, “Besides, he is different from other villagers, he belongs to the Hyuga clan.”

“What happened to the Hyuga clan…”

Tenten said so, but his voice became quieter.

She herself lacked confidence.

This has nothing to do with the famous family. In fact, even though their family is not so unremarkable, it is reliable to open a shop and sell ninja, and Konoha’s family property can also rank top.

On the other hand, Neji, although he has a family property, he has no worries about food and clothing. But in addition to food and clothing, you have to rely on task rewards for any valuables you need to buy. Usually, it is even more refreshing, and you don’t carry a penny on your body.

When going out to eat, it’s basically Tenten’s treats!

But the point is not money.

It lies in… descent.

Tian Dad pointed to his eyes: “The eyes of the Hyuga clan, unlike ours, are very precious things. In order to protect this bloodline, they rarely intermarry with foreigners.”

“Dad!!!”

Tenten pushed his father’s hand, annoyed.

“I have nothing to do with Neji! What are you talking about!”

“Let’s talk in advance. Besides, at your age, you shouldn’t have anything!” Tian Dad said in a deep voice, “If there is anything, I have to find that kid to settle the account!”

Seeing that his father talked more and more outrageously, Tenten covered his face and ran into the back room.

Seeing his daughter running away, Tian Dad didn’t seem to be able to do anything but sigh.

“Oh, oh, oh! Women’s college is not in the middle of staying, this is not grown up yet…”



Let me say that the impact of this mission is really not small.

Neji is back, but the merchant can’t.

The Zhilin family gave out ten carts of medicine for nothing, but no one came back. They also sent someone to the village to inquire about the situation.

The village’s reply was that Zhilin died directly because he was an ordinary person, had poor physical fitness, and was too frightened.

Neji survived because he was a ninja and had good physique, but he also suffered a lot of injuries. Many people saw this when Neji entered the village, and the bandages wrapped around him almost wrapped him into a mummy.

The Zhilin family is obviously not satisfied with this answer, but there is nothing to do.

People are already dead, what else can we do?

After expressing a rebuke, the members of the Zhilin family left.

As for the third shift who performed this task, there was also a “mission failure” in the resume.

This also made Xiao Li and Tenten angry. They couldn’t be blamed for the failure of the mission. Could it be that they chose to fight and died in the Kingdom of Rain, so the mission would not fail?

As the leading teacher, Guy did not dispute this result.

As Jōnin, he has performed many tasks.

He is well aware that this result is already very good and very good. At least, no one in the team was seriously injured, no one’s limbs became mutilated, and no one died.

In previous missions, such cruel things have happened too much.

However, this matter still has an impact, that is, the number of missions the squad has received has decreased a lot.

It seems that the Zhilin family and some other business families have been ventilated, and similar business escort tasks have all been designated not to be accepted by the third shift.

Neji was very happy about it.



He doesn’t like to do this kind of tasks, and there are fewer tasks, just to have more time for training.

This time, his several battles in the Kingdom of Rain have given him a lot of experience, insights and insights, enough to digest it for a while.

Moreover, he also felt that he should sink his heart to strengthen his own strength.

This trip to the country of rain has experienced several moments of life and death, and Neji once again realized that now he has left the village to the outside, just like a sheep leaving the sheepfold, and he is in danger of being slaughtered at any time.

And don’t need any well-known dangerous figures in the Shinobi world, even the unknown Chūnin and Jōnin, with a few teaming up, it is not particularly difficult to want his life.

This makes Neji very uneasy.

The world is too dangerous, let’s practice level first.

As a result, Neji, who returned to the village, basically opened the “big girl” mode-the door did not come out, and the Second Gate did not move forward.

Because his training progress exceeded Xiao Li and Tenten too much, it didn’t make much sense to train together, so Guy also allowed him to practice on his own, just ask him if he doesn’t understand.

So, a week later, the Wooden Golem piles in Neji’s yard had been replaced by seven or eight.

On this day, Neji was replacing the new stakes, and suddenly someone came to the door.

“You are really hardworking, Neji.”

“… Patriarch.”

The visitor was Hyuga Hiashi. Neji saw him standing at the door and paused and asked, “What’s the matter with you?”

As the patriarch, Hyuga Hiashi is very busy every day, it is impossible to hang out to him and chat with him.

“Can we sit down and talk?”

“Can.”

Neji took him to sit down at the tea table in the house and poured a cup of tea.

Hyuga Hiashi held the tea cup and pondered for a moment.

“Neji, others think you are a genius, but I know that you have to work harder than most people. This is what makes you stronger.”

“Patriarch, didn’t you come to compliment me specifically, did you?”

“…I have decided to let Hanabi succeed as the patriarch in the future.”

The subject suddenly changed, and Neji frowned slightly.

“Why are you telling me this?”

He is a junior in the branch house and has no right to speak in such matters. The matters of the heirs are all decided by the patriarchs and elders.

Hyuga Hiashi looked at Neji seriously, and said solemnly, “Because I want to entrust you with the important task of assisting her in the future.”
