Chapter 58

Neji already has the answer to the previous question.

Whether Third Generation is alive or dead is good for him, after these few days of thinking, his answer is to live.

This does not mean that he has a good impression of Third Generation, it is purely that after Third Generation’s death, Konoha fell into a long-term, continuous unstable state. And because of his death, he lost the suppression of Danzo, which indirectly caused all kinds of troubles later on.

For Neji, what he needs is a safe and stable environment to continuously improve himself. The death of Third Generation made Konoha no longer stable, which is not good for Neji.

Therefore, he decided to change the plot and try to make Third Generation survive.

It’s not difficult to say, as long as Orochimaru is not allowed to stand alone with Third Generation.

Hokage office.

After listening to the Third Generation report by Mitarashi Anko, I felt that something was wrong.

And Hyuga Hiashi’s visit with Neji at this time made him feel like a storm.

Seeing Neji coming in, Third Generation smiled: “Neji, you are a celebrity with me. Many Jōnin have told me that you are the best ninja in the new generation.”

“Neji is also the best in our Hyuga clan.” Hyuga Hiashi boasted smoothly, and then explained his intentions. “I came to you this time because Neji discovered something incredible during the exam.”

“Oh?”

Third Generation remembered Anko’s report just now. Was that battle related to Neji?

Neji looked at Third Generation, the man called “Professor of Ninjutsu”, now very old, his face is full of wrinkles and old Madara. He thinks Orochimaru chose to do it at this time. It is estimated that there are also reasons for the weakness of Third Generation.

Next, Neji repeats what he said to Hyuga Hiashi.

When I heard “Jinchūriki”, the smile on Third Generation’s face disappeared completely.

“Jinchūriki came to take the Chūnin exam, Sunagakure, this is…”

“I think their attempt is bad.” Hyuga Hiashi said, “Hokage-sama, we should prepare early.”

“it is necessary.”

This matter is very important. Third Generation did not dare to be sloppy, and immediately called Anbu to ask them to trace the whereabouts of the three Gaara.

There is no way to confront Sunagakure. After all, Jinchūriki’s statement is just a side word of Neji, there is no conclusive evidence and other witnesses.

However, Neji said again at this time: “Master Hokage, my thought is that four days later, at the end of the second exam. If the three of you dared to show up, it means that Jinchūriki is not fighting me. If they don’t dare to show up, The fact is clear.”

When Third Generation and Hiashi listened, they both nodded.

This is true. If Gaara is not Jinchūriki, what is he afraid of? But if he was, after experiencing the battle with Neji, he who exposed the tail beast would definitely not dare to appear in Konoha again.

Third Generation stepped forward and patted Neji on the shoulder: “You speak well and do well, Neji. If the village avoids potential dangers, you are the village’s great hero.”

Neji hummed, and when he finished speaking, he left.

Hyuga Hiashi stayed. He knew that Third Generation had something to say to him.

“Hiashi, I have something to ask for your opinion.”

“Master Hokage, please speak.”

“It’s about the child Neji. There is no doubt that he is a genius like Kakashi. He is so young that he already possesses strength far beyond Chūnin.”

“…”

Hiashi also knows this. As for why Third Generation knows it is also very simple. Being able to escape under Jinchūriki’s tailed beasts, without any injuries, is not an exaggeration to say that he has the level of Jōnin.

“And the most important thing is that he has a sense of responsibility and a spirit of sacrifice. The task they did in the third shift to the Land of Rain, I am still impressed.”

When Third Generation talks about this, Hiashi has gradually understood.

“Master Hokage, don’t you mean to say…”

“Yes.” Third Generation said, “After this Chūnin exam, I want Neji to join Anbu.”

Sure enough…

Hiashi just heard Third Generation praise Neji, and he knew he had a passion for talent.

However, for Neji to join Anbu… it was not a very good decision for the Hyuga clan.

Hiashi thought for a moment, and said, “It stands to reason that I, as the head of the patriarch, should be proud of being able to join Anbu and protect the village. However, with all due respect, Neji’s situation is a bit special.”

“Oh? Tell me.”

Third Generation’s reaction to Hiashi was not surprising, smoking a cigarette calmly, smashing his mouth.

“That’s it, Neji has the duty to assist the next patriarch, so…”

“Haha.” Third Generation smiled, “Hiashi, you are still very young, and it will take at least ten years to pass the position. Neji probably left Anbu long ago, and I am afraid that the old man will not be there anymore. .”

Unlike other organizations, Anbu’s staff changes frequently, and few can do it for more than ten years.

The long one just stays for a few years, then withdraws and returns to the ordinary. In a short period of time, Anbu’s career will end in one or two years.

This is not to say how dangerous it is to be Anbu, but the identity of Anbu members needs to be kept secret, but the secrets will always be revealed one day, so most Anbu whose identities are leaked will choose to quit.



“Of course.” Third Generation continued, “This also takes Neji’s opinion into consideration. To be honest, I mentioned to his instructor Guy before that, like you, Guy doesn’t want Neji to join Anbu.”

“…”

“Maybe this old man of me is more stubborn, haha.”

“Hokage-sama, you are right. Neji will decide this matter after all.”

“Well, I’ll talk to him later. You go back first.”

“Yes.”

Watching Hyuga Hiashi leave the office, Third Generation’s expression grew deeper.

“Sand Shinobi…Do you want to start a war…”

As Third Generation himself said, he is already an old man, he is old and has experienced many things. As Konoha’s longest reign, Hokage has participated in several Ninja Wars, and he also knows the cruelty of wars and the fickleness of the country’s hidden villages.

Even the allies that concluded the contract, under the inducement of their interests, the covenant may be torn off at will. This is why the Chūnin exam was introduced, which indirectly replaced the war to some extent.

But now it seems that Sand Shinobi has some actions that he shouldn’t have…

Ugh.

Sighed in my heart, as Hokage, Third Generation also knew what to do at this time.

He immediately sent an order for all Jōnin from the village to come to the office to assemble.

Sleep will wake up eventually.

Gaara opened her eyes and found herself on Kankuro’s back. Kankuro and Temari were advancing fast.

“I……”

As soon as he opened his mouth, the two of them said in shock at the same time: “Are you awake?!”

Gaara just feels a headache: “Let go of me!”

“…”

Kankuro put it down, Gaara held her head and looked around. This environment is no longer right, they have undoubtedly left the Forest of Death and Konoha.

“what happened?”

Kankuro and Temari looked at each other. The former was angry and wanted to reprimand, but was stopped by Temari’s eyes.

Gaara is emotionally unstable now. If he reprimands, once he starts, I am afraid that there will be a crippling situation.

Kankuro pressed the fire and said, “After you used the Fake Sleeping Technique, the tail beast did not fight the Byakugan guy, but chose to escape.”

“Run away?!”

“Yes.” Temari said, “We chased you for a long time, but fortunately you changed back before Konoha’s ninja found it. But then, our mission has failed, and now we can only go back to the village.”

Is Konoha hunting them now? If you show up in Konoha again, will you be caught immediately?

They dare not bet that Jinchūriki is too important, and now they can only abandon the plan and go back to the village first.

“…”

Gaara’s face was gloomy and she didn’t say a word.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. Kankuro and Temari saw the man, and suddenly panicked, lowering their heads and shouting, “Teacher.”

“You disappointed me too much.”

The visitor wears Sand Shinobi forehead protector and half of his face is covered by a gauze scarf. It is Jōnin Baki, the instructor of Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro.

“Especially you, Gaara.” Baki looked at the gloomy Gaara and reprimanded mercilessly, “Now Konoha’s Anbu is already in action, and the target is you. Because of your impulse, our entire plan may fail! ”

“…”

“Teacher, now…is there any remedy?” Temari asked.

“Huh, even if there is, it has nothing to do with you!” Baki glanced at the Konoha Village in the distance, “Well, you guys will go back to Sand Shinobi now!”

Kankuro asked unexpectedly, “Teacher, won’t you go back?”

“Idiot! Do you think there are only three of you who are coming for the exam? This time we have 30 candidates from Sand Shinobi! There are still a lot of them left. If I, the leader of the team, leave, I won’t be able to fulfill our Sand Shinobi’s purpose. Isn’t it pure? Now only the three of you are going. I can tell Konoha that you are unwell and leave early!”

“…Teacher you must be careful!” Temari worried.

Hearing this, Baki sighed with sophistication, and said nothing more.

It’s not too surprising that Gaara and the three have gone wrong. Originally, Gaara was mentally unstable and there were many hidden dangers, but as a powerful combat force, the high level of the village still sent him out with a fluke mentality.

Now it seems that it is really a huge mistake.

Not only Gaara herself can no longer appear in Konoha, but also Sand Shinobi’s entire action, it is likely that Hokage will be aware of it.

Baki thought to himself: In the past few days, we must carefully observe whether Konoha will make military deployments. If we are really prepared, then after the second exam, we must immediately report to Master Fengkage and suspend the operation. Even if you violated the agreement with Orochimaru, you must do whatever you want…
