Chapter 96

Sasuke was finally discharged from the hospital.

He has not always cooperated with treatment, but since Neji started acting as a protector, he has become better than anyone else with treatment.

To this end, Sasuke, who has always regarded his appearance as nothing, also used a little “beautiful male trick” to find a female medical ninja to help him use medical ninjutsu to speed up the progress of his treatment.

No way…all to get rid of Neji as soon as possible.

Being protected by someone who took the Chūnin exam together before, he really couldn’t bear it.

This is too shameful…

With a thin-skinned Sasuke, with his own efforts, the original one-month recuperation time was shortened by nearly half. In twenty days, he will be able to get rid of crutches and barely walk on his own.

Neji was very happy, Sasuke was anxious to get rid of him, he was still anxious to get rid of Sasuke.

It’s a waste of time not to use it for spiritual practice, but to be a bodyguard all the time.

Watching Sasuke go home from the hospital, Neji also went to the mission center, only to find out that his protection of Sasuke was not recorded at all.

I think so, this is probably a secret mission, after all, apart from Kabuto, it is not certain whether there are other spies arranged by Orochimaru in the village.

So Neji went to find Third Generation.

Third Generation received the news that Sasuke was discharged from the hospital one step ahead of him. When he saw Neji smiled and said, “Neji, thank you very much.”

“Nothing. Now that you know everything, then I’ll go back.”

“Hold on.”

“You have something else?”

“Ha ha……”

Third Generation smiled, his eyes looked kind and affectionate.

“I haven’t thanked you for saving my old man’s life.”

“…”

“Neji, you may not know that those Otoninjutsu was originally going to work together to develop a kind of enchantment ninjutsu, trapping me in it… You killed them and destroyed Orochimaru’s plan. Otherwise, I am this The bad old man is already lying underground now.”

I may not know… I know too much.

Neji said in his heart that he did it for this purpose.

Now it seems that the rewards are still… at least the family affairs Konoha executives didn’t bother him, and the other is that Danzo didn’t ask him again after that.

This is naturally related to Third Generation. If there is no Third Generation, if others don’t say anything, Danzo will definitely take any action.

And now Neji, in terms of hard power, hasn’t been able to overwhelm the entire roots including Danzo… He still needs some time to “grow”.

If Third Generation can get him involved in this time, it makes sense for him to save Third Generation. If Third Generation dies, the blank period before Tsunade’s tenure… Maybe Danzo will attack him. This is not what he wants to happen.

“Is it the information I got from that Otonin?”

“Yes. And not only this piece of information, but also more important things, such as… Orochimaru’s laboratory location.”



“…”

Neji didn’t understand why Third Generation told him this, so he listened quietly.

Third Generation picked up the cigarette stick and lighted the cigarette while continuing: “We can no longer tolerate what Orochimaru did. The village has decided to start a hunt for Orochimaru.”

Hunting down Orochimaru?

This is a bit beyond Neji’s expectation…

Orochimaru is different from other rebels. For other rebels, after issuing the killing order, Anbu may really be chasing after him… This in itself is one of Anbu’s jobs.

But Orochimaru, an S-rank rebel, usually after issuing a kill order or a wanted order, the village will not take any actual actions.

No way, send the ordinary Anbu team, just to send the head… send the shadow, the income is too low, the shadow has more important things to do.

Therefore, although Orochimaru and Uchiha Itachi are both Konoha’s S-rank rebels, Konoha has issued wanted documents, but in fact, no team was deployed to carry out the actual hunt.

Orochimaru is too dangerous to hunt him down. Uchiha Itachi’s situation is more special, and Third Generation doesn’t want to hunt down;

Now it seems that the wind direction has changed.

Neji thought to himself: It is estimated that this Orochimaru attack made Konoha’s high-level staff unable to sit still. He was worried that the next attack would come, so he wanted to act first.

Thinking of this, Neji suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Sure enough, the words of Third Generation in the next second confirmed his hunch.

“The village is going to form a hunting team and invite Sand Shinobi to send some people out to form a joint team with us.” Third Generation took a puff, “Our team leader is currently tentatively designated as Jiraiya. For the team members, I hope Neji You can be one of them.”

“…”

I’m going to hunt down Orochimaru?

Neji couldn’t help but cursed in his heart, isn’t it okay to look for trouble!

He himself has a lot of plans, such as catching Three Tails, such as looking for Tsunade to ask for clues about the “spiritualization technique”… Now the task of protecting Sasuke has been delayed for more than 20 days. It has just ended, and he is going to hunt again. Orochimaru?

Considering from the perspective of self-interest, this task will not only yield no benefits, it may also be in danger… However, the ninja is not an existence that can only be considered from the perspective of self-interest.

Seeing Neji frown, Third Generation also understood his thoughts.

“You don’t want to go, I can understand.”

“…”

“But now the village needs your power. If Orochimaru is caught one day earlier, it may reduce many potential victims… Also, I said earlier that Neji will be suspended for you to join Anbu. This task, even as an assessment. …If you are willing to do it, I will officially introduce you to Anbu when you come back.”

You can also refuse. In the previous turmoil, you have done a lot for the village, and as Hokage, I am very grateful for what you have done. In short…I will give priority to your personal opinion on this matter. What do you think? ”

Third Generation lowered some of its stance. In fact, as Hokage, it issued missions to subordinate ninjas. Ninjas cannot refuse unless they have a reasonable reason.

Third Generation can force Neji to accept the task, but he has not done so, and he does not want Neji to have a rebellious mentality.

And he also took out Anbu’s affairs, which is equivalent to this mission also possessing trading attributes. As long as Neji does it, regardless of success or failure, he can officially join Anbu when he comes back.

So is this bargaining chip worth my risk?

Neji thought to himself, it must not be worth it.

If he wants to join Anbu, it means to accumulate qualifications and have more opportunities to enter and leave the village. Sometimes it is more convenient. However, it is definitely not equivalent to kill lives for this.

But then again, if Jiraiya is really leading the team, then the security is actually good…Jiraiya now happens to be in the prime of his prime, with strong combat power in Sage Mode, combined with Toad Sage’s “chanting”, at least it can be suppressed. Live in Orochimaru.

But it was just suppression… After all, Jiraiya’s restraint on Orochimaru was not great.

If it is replaced by a ferret, then it is called a lore, no, it is finished. Illusion art blood abuse Orochimaru, the ten-fist sword can seal Orochimaru…too much restraint.

But itachi had no restraint when facing Jiraiya. Not to mention that you got into the belly of the toad as soon as you met. If you really want to fight for a long time, itachi who is not in good health will be consumed by Jiraiya. As for the illusion that Itachi is good at, the two Toad Sages summoned by Jiraiya in Sage Mode can also help crack them.

This shows that there is still a certain restraint relationship between the ninjas…

Jiraiya leads the team, and with some powerful players, it is okay to defeat Orochimaru, but it is almost impossible to kill Orochimaru.

As for this arrest, Neji also believes that it is unlikely to be successful.

but……

Neji’s heart suddenly moved.

He thought of another bargaining chip, which was not provided to him by Third Generation, but he suddenly thought of… Phosphorus.

A long time ago, Hanabi told him that he had read some records about the sealing technique, and wanted to find out if he could seal the spell. At that time, Neji thought of fragrant phosphorus, the surviving blood of the Uzumaki clan.

Now she should have been captured by Orochimaru… If she can be found during the hunt for Orochimaru, maybe…

After thinking for a long time, Neji raised his eyes and asked, “When will we leave?”

Third Generation smiled upon hearing the words: “Don’t worry, wait until Jiraiya comes back and talk to Sand Shinobi. It may take a while before you can leave… During this time you can take a break.”
