Chapter 93

“Did he say that.”

“Yes.”

At the root, Danzo got a report from his subordinates, and after hearing Neji’s original retelling, his face became unsightly.

He didn’t expect Neji to take him so seriously.

Yes, he was indeed removed from the position of “Hokage Assistant”, but only the position was removed. His power is still firmly in his hands.

The Jōnin are all aware of this, but Neji seems to be unclear about this, treating him as an insignificant “retired cadre”, which makes it difficult for him to tolerate it.

but……

“Do you want to catch him?” the subordinate asked.

“Catch?” Danzo raised his eyelids. “He is estimated to have the strength of the elite Jōnin, which is not something you can easily deal with. Moreover, he is now a popular figure in the village, and catching him will only cause public outrage.”

One more thing Danzo didn’t say was that about Neji, Third Generation had already greeted him.

After the top management decided not to punish Neji for the time being, Third Generation approached him and told him clearly not to move Neji. He, this Hokage, would not allow it. And it’s not just Hokage, if something happens to Neji, the Hyuga clan will never give up.

The Hyuga clan now, after all, is different from the previous ones…

These factors made Danzo unable to shoot Neji.

But he understands one thing…

Danzo said in his heart: Now Sarutobi doesn’t allow me to do anything, but when Neji really wants to remove the curse of all the branch houses of the Hyuga clan, I am afraid he will no longer protect Neji.

In certain matters, Danzo knows that Third Generation will also prioritize the village.

This is why the “root” exists. If Third Generation did not tacitly agree that something happened at some point, then this organization would have ceased to exist…

“Then Lord Danzo, what do you mean?”

“Wait.” Danzo closed his eyes. “When he takes that step, in order to protect the interests of the village, I will kill it myself.”

The days gradually calmed down.

In addition to practicing every day, Neji also began to focus on collecting information about Three Tails.

I have to say that the identity of “elder” is quite useful. This gives him a lot of right to speak in the Hyuga clan, and if he has the right to speak, he can arrange people to do things.

As a well-known family, Hyuga still has a lot of connections in and outside the village, and there are also some channels for intelligence collection, which can provide some valuable clues for Neji.

Three Tails Jifu is the only wild tail beast.

Its original Jinchūriki is Lin Nohara, and the world changes caused by this little girl who didn’t make many appearances in the story can be quite a bit. The next Jinchūriki was Fourth Mizukage Yagura.

After the death of Citrus Yagura, the new Jinchūriki never appeared. After the resurrection, Three Tails fell asleep in a lake in the mountains of the country of water.

Neji dared to set it as a target because it was a wild-tailed beast.



Unlike Jinchūriki, the wild tail beast does not have the consciousness of controlling power in its head. It is fighting purely by instinct, so its overall strength is relatively poor.

If Jinchūriki was completely tailed, then Neji wouldn’t dare to make a decision… The completely tailed Jinchūriki could only be dealt with at least at the “Shadow” level. And now Neji, in his normal state, is Jōnin, or elite Jōnin, and he is still a little away from Kage-level.

Of course, by opening the Eight Gate, he can gain Kage-level power in a short time… But it is only a short time, and there are certain side effects.

Such strength should be enough to deal with wild tail beasts. But to be on the safe side, I still need a helper.

helper……

In the forest training ground, Neji wiped sweat on his forehead after training, and said to his heart: Who is the helper?

He thought of Konan for the first time, and then immediately rejected it.

The reason for thinking of Konan is that Konan is very strong, and Konan said before that he owes him a favor, and she should agree to ask her to act.

But the reason for the rejection… Needless to say, she is a member of Akatsuki’s organization!

Akatsuki’s purpose is to collect the tail beasts. If Neji finds it and tells Konan not to collect it, let me eat one first… Then let’s not talk about a favor, no matter how much favor it is, it won’t work.

Excluding Konan, what the others said…

First of all, they are not considered within the family. They are all from the Hyuga clan, and they are all Gentle Fist. For a high-defense tail beast like Three Tails, it is basically untouchable.

Think of a group of Hyuga ninjas hitting Gentle Fist on the tortoise shell of Three Tails… the scenes are a bit funny!

Even Neji himself, his Gentle Fist, Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, flying needle punching… all have no use for Three Tails. All he can use is the single point penetration of Finger Pistol and the range of the empty palm. The explosion hits and hurts.

Therefore, a helper outside the clan must be found.

So……

Neji’s eyes naturally fell on Tenten and Xiao Li who were practicing separately not far away.

Only these two companions can be trusted outside the clan, plus a Guy teacher.

Guy should not be involved in his affairs, so Tenten and Xiao Li can help.

Xiao Li… is also a pure physical technique, and it is not very useful for Three Tails. Tenten is the only one who can really help.

Tenten…

If it was the Tenten in the original book, it wouldn’t help much, because that Tenten only used ninja attacks at the time, which was almost a pure physical flow.

The current Tenten is different. Under Neji’s influence, the current Tenten is also keen to develop his own spatial talents, so he has developed techniques such as “tail explosion”.

This technique can play a significant role in dealing with Three Tails.

Provided that……

Prepare enough detonators.

Although Tenten is a rich little woman, it’s true that he asked people to help and spend money to prepare props… Neji also felt very embarrassed. No way, he thinks he can only borrow a sum from Hanabi… Now, as the patriarch, Hanabi can mobilize a lot of funds.

At this time, Guy came to the training ground.

He came to Neji, went to him, and told him, “Neji, the village has a task to assign to you.”

“Assign to me?”

Ninjas have missions, but they are generally based on teams. What Guy said was a task specifically for him.

“Yes, it’s a single mission.”

“What task?”

Both Xiao Li and Tenten came over, looking at Guy curiously.

This task does not need to be kept secret, so Guy said it directly.

“Protect Sasuke.”

“…”

“Protect Sasuke?!”

“What? Why do you want Neji to do such a thing…”

Xiao Li and Tenten didn’t understand this task very well, and Neji himself was speechless.

He is busy now, how can he protect Sasuke?

Guy solemnly said: “The mission is the mission. As a ninja, we don’t have the right to choose. In addition, don’t resist Neji. This mission will not be very long. It will only last until Sasuke is discharged from the hospital.”

“…”

“Originally, the senior management arranged for other people, but now they are assigned to do other tasks, Neji, don’t have any complaints, just go ahead!”

“……All right.”
