Chapter 255 Investigation
Konoha, the forest on the outskirts of the city, the training base of the third team.

Locke Li was doing push-ups with one hand while flipping through the mission log in front of him.

"found it!"

After a while, Rock Li's breath stabilized and he shouted loudly.

I saw him still continuing to do push-ups with one hand and said:
"According to the mission log, on May 17, I finally found my client Fukushima Granny's little kitten-chan on the roof of the Konoha Signal Department and successfully rescued her.

"On the way back to deliver the mission, I met Hyuga Neji."

Locke Li changed his hand and continued to do push-ups. He glanced at the document in front of him again and confirmed:
"That's right, May 17th."

Opposite, Uchiha Sasuke and Tenten looked at each other.

You know, what Tiantian said before, the time node for Ningji's change was exactly May 16th.

If Tiantian's speculation is true.

So, the Hyuga Neji that Xiao Li mentioned is probably a lie.

"I remember, you are already a chuunin, why are you still doing these D-level missions for genin?"

On this side, Uchiha Sasuke did not rush into the topic, but casually chatted with Xiao Li first.

"Sasuke, although I am not as good as you, I think that as the successors of the Will of Fire, we should remember the responsibilities on the shoulders of ninjas!"

Locke Li responded seriously while practicing hard:

“Teacher Kai taught me that ninjas have levels to better serve everyone;
“There are levels of tasks just to prioritize;
"However, we must not think that there is really any essential difference between tasks of different levels! Faced with every commission, we, as ninjas of Konoha, should not have any sense of distinction!
"Teacher Kai said that behind every task is the trust and expectation of the client in us!

"Every task is worthy of us devoting 100% of our youthful blood to pour out and maintain the expectations of the client! To pave and connect the hearts of the people! To spread and cultivate the warmth of society, to care for and protect Konoha s future!!"

Uchiha Sasuke stared at Rock Lee dumbfounded, somewhat shocked in his heart.

Due to his previous work experience in Anbu, Sasuke only performed the inquiry operation habitually.

Originally, he just wanted to get closer to the interviewee through small talk first, and did not want to appear too stiff.

But the other party's series of speeches far exceeded Sasuke's expectations.

Yes, these words, and the person who said them, Xiao Li, are indeed a bit foolish.

However, after meeting too many smart people, Uchiha Sasuke knew very well how precious this kind of stupidity was.

Metkai's passionate master and apprentice, aside from his super abilities, he can also be regarded as a loyal minister.

While Uchiha Sasuke was deep in thought, Tenten beside him asked anxiously:
"So, how long did Neji stay with you that day? What did he say? What did he do?"

Hearing the barrage of questions every day, Rock Li couldn't help but stop his practicing movements, turned over and stood up.

He looked at Tiantian with a strange look on his face, wondering what the two people in front of him wanted to ask.

"That's right. We suspect that the current Ningji is pretending to be an undercover spy from another country. We would like to know the specific situation with everyone."

Uchiha Sasuke adopted the version with the lowest communication cost and said seriously.

"Will such a thing happen?!"

After hearing Sasuke's explanation, Rock Lee looked serious and said worriedly:

"So, isn't Neji in danger now?!"

"The identity of the other party cannot be completely determined, and the possibility that Neji himself is emotionally abnormal has not been completely ruled out. Therefore, the question we ask you next is very important."

Uchiha Sasuke said equally seriously.

"Tell me everything you know!"

Xiao Li nodded solemnly, recalled carefully, and said:
“That day, after I rescued the lovely Mi-chan from the roof, I happened to see Neji walking over from a distance.

“At that time, he greeted me from a distance, very warmly.

"Do you think this spy is trying to please me? Trying to lower my vigilance?"

"Just tell the facts, don't be subjective."

Uchiha Sasuke interrupted the other party's speculation and said calmly.

"Oh well!"

Xiao Li nodded repeatedly and continued:
"Then, Neji asked me what I was busy with and what my plans were next. After the mission was completed, my plan was naturally to continue practicing.

"After learning about this, Neji said that he hadn't practiced together for a long time and missed the days of the third class.

"I was very happy to hear what he said. Then, we both came to this base together, and then"

At this point, Xiao Li suddenly stopped, and then seemed to remember something. He laughed and shouted:
"I see, it's okay! It's okay!"

"What's okay?"

Tiantian asked doubtfully.

Sasuke also frowned and pricked up his ears to hear what Xiao Li would say next.

"During the training process, Ningci once again reviewed the Sixty-Four Palms of Rou Fist and Bagua. He also did the bird counting exercise from the white eye panoramic perspective.

"Yes, I have seen this with my own eyes, there is nothing wrong with it!
"It is impossible for spies from other countries to have the ability of Byakugan and Soft Fist. Who else could have it except Neji himself?"

Rock Li clenched his fists and said loudly:

"It seems that everything is a misunderstanding, haha."

Xiao Li laughed, looking relieved.

However, Uchiha Sasuke still had a solemn expression.

After all, Neji was not the only one in the Konoha Hidden Village who knew how to use the Byakugan and the Soft Fist.

Then, Sasuke continued to ask:
"So, have you chatted?

"Ningji, did he say anything strange, such as anything or information that made you feel abnormal?"

Xiao Li looked stunned for a moment, recalled it again, and said slowly:

"Yes, there are indeed
"Ah, no! I mean, no! Now that it is confirmed that the other party is Neji himself, there is no need to talk nonsense about this kind of thing."

Rock Li is a loyal person and will never lie at all.

At this time, seeing his flustered face, Uchiha Sasuke immediately lowered his face and said seriously:

“This matter is related to the safety of Konoha!

"Lying, is this what a passionate young ninja should do?"

"NO, I have not"

On this side, when he heard Sasuke say this, Rock Li immediately became anxious.

His cheeks turned red and he hesitated:
"He did ask me, uh, whether there are any beautiful peers worthy of attention among the ninjas in Konoha during the recent period.
"To be honest, this doesn't seem like something Neji would do! He's pretty serious, uh, originally."

Xiao Li's face turned red and he stammered, while secretly glancing at Tiantian beside him.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Tiantian felt humiliated and ashamed.

Although he was not the one who did something wrong, Tiantian felt ashamed and angry from the bottom of his heart.

"Then what did you say?"

On this side, Uchiha Sasuke did not react at all and continued to ask calmly.

"Of course I'm talking about Haruno Sakura!"

Rock Lee blurted out, and then looked at Sasuke with a complicated expression.

The atmosphere suddenly became further awkward.

"and then?"

Sasuke continued to ask.

Among the three, only Uchiha Sasuke stayed out of the embarrassment and maintained a businesslike expression from beginning to end.

"Then, Neji continued to ask questions. I then mentioned Ino and Hinata, but Neji kept asking and said he didn't want it to be someone he knew. Finally, I mentioned Eri's name, and he left satisfied."

"So, why didn't you say my name?!"

On the side, Tiantian was furious.

Just like before, he pretended to hit his old teammate on the head.

"Who is Eri?"

Uchiha Sasuke stopped the noise on the side with his eyes and continued to ask.

"what"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Xiao Li's face.

But soon, he raised his head again and said frankly:

"I've always gone to talk to Sakura, and we've also gone on dates together!

"Well, I guess it's a date.
"Anyway, Eri is Sakura's colleague, but I'm not sure if she's a ninja. She's a nurse at Konoha Hospital."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded, confirmed the other information again, turned and left.

Behind him, Tiantian still waved his fist angrily, indicating that he would settle the score with Xiao Li next time.
-
"So, what exactly do you think?"

On the way, Tiantian asked Uchiha Sasuke who was standing beside him.

"Perhaps, things have been going too smoothly these days. At the beginning, when you told me those things, subconsciously, I was actually resisting the possibility of anyone getting into trouble."

Uchiha Sasuke said expressionlessly:
"On the other hand, as you said, if, in the end, everything is just Neji simply wanting to break up with you, then, for me, it is actually the best possibility."

Anyway, nothing happened on the road.

Sasuke simply started talking about all his previous thoughts:
"In the Hyuga mansion, the moment I saw Hyuga Neji, I was almost certain that he was Neji himself.

"The tone of his voice, the way he read, and the expression on his face were all exactly the same as the Neji I knew.
"You know, we've been together for so long, I'm confident I can spot any subtle differences."

"So, when you said that you couldn't determine the other person's identity for the time being, you were actually trying to comfort me, right?"

Tenten's heart sank as she listened to Sasuke's honest words.

In addition, the information obtained by Rock Lee further solidified the possibility of "Ningji changing his heart".

Thinking of this, Tiantian bit his lip and asked with all his strength.

"good."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded and continued:

"I am more than 90% sure that person is Hyuga Neji.

"Then, until he said that he wanted to break up with you, in my opinion, all doubts have been resolved." Uchiha Sasuke stopped and after a while, he slowly spoke again:
"Matters of love are too unfamiliar to me. I actually can't fully understand your behavior."

People who can't hear the music always think that the dancers are crazy.

In Uchiha Sasuke's opinion, people in love are creatures that are difficult to understand.

Sometimes they commit suicide, sometimes they are ecstatic;
Sometimes I love someone to death, and sometimes I am so determined that I want to cut off all ties with that person.

Since love has no reason, then breaking up probably has no reason either.

Since, I can't understand why Hyuga Neji has to fall in love with Tenten, and why he says "there's no other way".

So, it is probably quite normal that I cannot understand Hyuga Neji's sudden breakup.

The former is something that I cannot understand, but it happened.

The latter is also incomprehensible, so it might also be the real fact, right?

When faced with an unfamiliar and unfamiliar field, everyone will make a rough cognitive judgment in a black box way.

The less you understand, the more crude you are; the more crude you are, the bolder you are.

Therefore, after hearing Ningci clearly express his desire to break up with Tenten, Sasuke's first reaction was -

OK, I have come to an area that I am completely unfamiliar with.

Afterwards, after Hyuga Neji complained bitterly, the annoyed Uchiha Sasuke directly concluded:
All of this is a Rashomon-style farce caused by the breakup of this dog couple.

Tiantian was unable to accept the reality and became suspicious, dragging himself into this meaningless farce.

It was not until the smell of the snacks at the door of Ganligan that Sasuke calmed down again and returned to the "unknowable" state.

I don’t know, it doesn’t matter.

There are ways to find out.

What is more terrifying and dangerous than “not knowing” is “mistakenly thinking that you know”.

That is, the above-mentioned "extensive" experience summary facing the black box.

A false answer will make people stop completely in the wrong place.

"In short, I should face up to the objective reality that I don't understand feelings and treat all possibilities equally. I can't jump to conclusions just because I don't understand."

Uchiha Sasuke's voice was steady, without any emotion in it.

"so."

Tiantian said thoughtfully.

"So, even if I am 90% sure that person is Neji, it does not mean that Neji has no problems."

Uchiha Sasuke took over and said seriously:

“Even if all signs now point to Neji’s change of heart, it doesn’t prove that this is the truth.

"As I said before, 'One hundred doubts cannot constitute a piece of evidence.' I will not make any assumptions about this matter until I get decisive evidence."

After a pause, Sasuke continued:

"So, what we need to do next is to continue to expand the scope of the investigation. Let's see what the Hyuga Neji that Xiao Li contacted wants to tell us."

As he spoke, Uchiha Sasuke stopped and looked up.

In front of him was the gate of Konoha Hospital.

"Wow! Long time no see! Are you here to see me too, Tiantian? Hehe, I'll be well soon, actually."

Lying on the hospital bed, Uzumaki Naruto, with his right hand and half of his chest wrapped in bandages, greeted the two of them enthusiastically.

"You look pretty good."

Tenten greeted with a smile.

Sasuke thought that the clue about "Eri" he got from Rock Lee was too deliberate, as if it was a message that Neji intentionally left for him.

Therefore, before directly contacting "Eri" herself, Sasuke decided to still follow the original plan and ask as many companions of the same period as possible.

Collect surrounding evidence first.

"So, did you bring it?"

After greeting Tenten, Uzumaki Naruto turned his head and looked at Sasuke with an expectant expression on his face.

"What to bring?"

Sasuke was stunned, having no idea what the other person was talking about.

"Ramen! Ramen!

"We clearly agreed on this last time!"

Uzumaki Naruto shouted loudly, as if the world was ending and he was about to collapse on the spot.

"I forgot."

Uchiha Sasuke said calmly, pulling a chair over casually and speaking:
"I came here today to ask you something about Neji."

When Naruto Uzumaki heard what Sasuke said, the expression on his face froze a little.

His expression was very unnatural, and he muttered in a low voice:

"It's Neji again."

"It's like this, we suspect that the current Neji is an undercover spy from another country.

“I came here this time to get to know the details from you guys.

"Have you seen him these days?"

This time, it was Tenten who followed suit, imitating Sasuke's previous behavior, and took over the conversation to explain to Uzumaki Naruto.

"So this is ah!"

Naruto showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and then he did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly recalled seriously:

"He actually came to visit me once. But he didn't stay for long before leaving."

"What did you say specifically?"

Every day is a surprise.

Unexpectedly, after asking two people in a row, I got affirmative answers from both of them.

"Nothing much, you know, just the usual stuff you do when you visit a patient.

"How do you feel? Are you feeling better? When will you be discharged from the hospital? Blah blah blah, wipe it."

Uzumaki Naruto answered in a somewhat noisy tone.

"Anything else? Like, something that makes you feel a little abnormal, or something that you care about?"

Tiantian continued to ask.

"Emm, something suspicious, let me think about it"

Uzumaki Naruto held his unbandaged left hand to his chin.

He narrowed his eyes and once again played the detective role.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke again:
"While chatting, he asked me about a nurse named Eri.

"It just so happened that Eri came in to change my dressing not long after. He just stared at her! Then, when she left, he immediately followed her without even saying hello to me! He's a very rude guy!"

Uzumaki Naruto said this while secretly observing Uchiha Sasuke out of the corner of his eye.

He was completely unaware that Tiantian beside him had already clenched his fists and looked angry, gritting his teeth.

"Do you remember what day it was in May?"

Uchiha Sasuke continued to ask, like an emotionless propulsion machine.

“Uh, it was the last time I changed the dressing.

"Each time the dressing is changed, the interval is three days. Coincidentally, today is also the day to change the dressing. Today is, uh
"May 21st, if you work backwards, one times seven equals seven, two times seven equals four, three times seven equals forty-one."

Uzumaki Naruto awkwardly counted the days on his fingers.

"May 18th."

That is, the day after meeting Xiao Li.

Uchiha Sasuke gave the answer instead.

He then stood up, took Tiantian beside him, and strode out of the ward.

Completely ignoring the shouts of Uzumaki Naruto behind him:
"How come you've become so rude!

"I say, you should spend less time with Neji in the future! Look at him, he has even infected you with this very rude habit!
"And! Ramen! Ramen! I must remember this next time!!"

"Shut up! You're disturbing the other patients' rest!"

A pretty voice came, interrupting Uzumaki Naruto's heart-wrenching cry.

Although this person tried his best to sound harsh in his tone, he still couldn't hide the sweetness of his voice.

"Uh, sorry, Nurse Eri. Are you going to change my dressing again today?"

Uzumaki Naruto's voice became much quieter and he responded sheepishly.

Originally, Uchiha Sasuke and the other man, who had already walked dozens of meters, suddenly stopped.

On this side, Tenten's eyes were blazing with fire when she heard Eri's name.

He turned around immediately and rushed towards Uzumaki Naruto's ward.

　Everyone was not satisfied with the previous chapter. It must be because I did not write it clearly.

　　The responsibility lies with me.

　　In this chapter, I spent a considerable amount of space reviewing Sasuke's mentality. The writing style was a little abrupt, but my ability is limited, so I will stop here.

　　I still think that a work cannot be explained. If the reader does not understand the meaning, then there is something wrong with the author's design.

　　Please give me more suggestions. If this book is really disgusting, I really encourage you to abandon it or just leave a message to scold me.

　　These days I take care of my children and family during the day, stay up late to write at night, and find time the next day to revise, adjust and supplement. It's already very embarrassing. The results are getting worse day by day. What keeps me going is largely because of you who follow me. But if I really disappoint you, this matter will no longer have any meaning. Because commercially, this book can basically be said to have failed.

　　If you are unhappy with what you see, please leave a message and speak out, so as not to waste each other's time.

　　At that time, I plan to stop updating until September, when my eldest son goes to school and has more time. I will quickly go through the game according to the outline. I said I would not eunuch it, but that was purely to give myself an explanation.
