Shadow of the Wood

Chapter [-] Regret

After the dinner party, several genin also bid farewell and left one after another, only Neiji Hinata was stopped by Shikamaru when he got up to leave.

Several shinobi looked at each other, although they were puzzled, seeing that Shikamaru didn't intend to talk more, they also got up and left together.

Seeing Shikamaru calling him to stop him, Hinata Ningji lowered his head to drink tea with a tepid look, hesitated a little, and sat down again.

Although there are not many days when the two meet each other, it is not as deep as the friendship between Shikamaru and Choji, Ino, or even Inuzuka Ya and Yume Shino, but Shikamaru's performance in the Zhongnin exam also made Hinata Ningji feel Admiration, he knows very well that if he is facing Gaara, he will not be able to turn the tide like Shikamaru, relying on his own strength to distract Shukaku, or even defeat the opponent with the help of others.

"Thank you for the gift, it is of great use to me." Seeing that the other genin had left, Shikamaru put down the teacup and said to Neiji Hinata.

The killing skills of doctors are often better than many soldiers, because they understand the structure of the human body better and understand where it is more vulnerable, but even so, they are still not as good as Hyuga who has "white eyes" and has the ability to "see through" family.

Because of the damage method of soft boxing, the Hyuga clan has been constantly exploring and perfecting the structural diagram of the human body for generations, and using this to create hitting routines.

Although Shikamaru can't use soft fist, and this body map doesn't have as much effect on him as it does on the ninjas of the Hyuga clan, but he can also apply medical ninjutsu himself. Body is not a bad thing.

"My mission this time is not short, and a lot of things must have happened in the village during this period of time?" Shikamaru looked at the silent Hinata Ningji, and continued: "I think you didn't seem to be in a good mood before. ?Perhaps you could tell me a little bit about what's going on?"

Hinata Neiji looked at Shikamaru who put on a posture of talking in surprise, but his relationship with Shikamaru was not close enough, so he just shook his head coldly.

Shikamaru is not discouraged when he sees Neiji Hinata, he is not a strong man with his own halo, just a few words of conversation can make people express their thoughts unsuspectingly, if it is because of this point that even setbacks cannot be mentioned As for anger and embarrassment, his practice and training over the years were wasted.

"Forget it, then walk with me!" Shikamaru greeted Hinata Neiji, and pulled him to the street regardless of his attitude.

Overlooking Konoha Village from a high altitude, there are only three buildings that can be noticed at first glance.

The first is naturally Hokage Rock located on the back of the mountain. The heads of Hokage in the past are carved out of huge stones, as if they are quietly gazing at Konoha Village.

The second is the building under Huoying Rock. The building with fiery red as the main color is like a jumping flame, radiating its heat in a fan shape, illuminating the whole village.

As for the third one, it is the avenue where Shikamaru and Hinata Ningji are located. This wide street starting from the Hokage Building and leading straight to the Konoha Gate divides Konoha Village into two halves, making any People mainly enter through the gate of Muye Village, and they can see the statue standing on a high place first.

Just like the gods guarding the village, silently watching anyone who comes, whether it is a friend... or an enemy.

Although the Konoha villagers can see this uncanny statue every day, few people will feel bored and boring. Even in this world with magical ninjutsu, this kind of work is rare. In itself, only in the powerful organization of Konoha Village can the war not spread here and destroy the works.

This is the essence of having a powerful organization.

What's more, the education in Muye Village has always been successful, especially for ninjas, who have a strong sense of belonging to the village, and ordinary people who take ninjas as their benchmarks are affected by this, and subtly, it has led to the existence of Muye Village. Such centripetal force.

"I've heard about your father." Shikamaru who squinted at Hokage Rock said suddenly.

Neiji Hinata has been observing Shikamaru, who seems to be leisurely, but suddenly the other party speaks, and tells him the thing that has concerned him the most for many years.

"It's very admirable, but also very regrettable." Shikamaru didn't seem to see Hinata Ningji's uncertain face, and continued: "He saved Konoha Village from the flames of war and saved the lives of many ninjas. With this It is indeed a pity that a ninja with such a spirit passed away quietly."

As Shikamaru spoke, he turned his head and looked straight into Hinata Neiji's eyes calmly. What he said was indeed an opinion from the bottom of his heart.

"Can you talk to me, what did Master Nizuzu say to you?" Shikamaru asked suddenly.

How did he know! ?

Hinata Ningji frowned slightly, but of course this couldn't be hidden from Shikamaru who had been paying attention to his expression.

"It seems that my guess is correct." Shikamaru turned around and continued walking towards the bottom of Hokage Rock while talking.

Hinata Ningji was spoiled by Shikamaru's words, neither going nor leaving, after a moment of hesitation, he still caught up with Shikamaru's pace.

"The patriarch told me the words and scenes of my father's death, and also gave me the last words left by my father." Neji Hyuga said, and Shikamaru noticed that his tone towards Hyuga Hyuzu was not as rude as before. , it is obvious that Hyuga's family's wooing is not in vain.

"Can you tell me in detail? I want to hear about your father's deeds." Shikamaru said softly, with a dignified expression, tilted his head slightly, and stopped to make a posture of listening carefully. This attitude has already expressed his respect for Hinata Hinata Poor attitude of respect.

Seeing Shikamaru's attitude, Hinata Neiji no longer resisted, and slowly narrated what Hinata Hyuzu said at that time.

Hinata Hyuzu's discourse is actually similar to the original work, although there are some changes, but the central meaning is inconvenient, and it is nothing more than adopting a soft policy.

Shikamaru listened quietly, and at the same time kept thinking in his heart.

I just regard it as a story, and experiencing it myself is completely two different things. To put it in extreme terms, many people who like horror movies will not like to participate in it personally, because the former is just an outsider's experience, but the latter is related to Itself is not the same.

Shikamaru’s attitude towards the world of Hokage in his previous life and today is also different. When he came to this world, he was really alive, breathing the fresh air, feeling the withering of life, seeing those living and different ninjas, He already understood that this was no longer a simple story for him, it was a world, and he himself participated in it.

Therefore, an insignificant event may be ignored when watching it in the previous life, but now, Shikamaru will think about the meaning behind any event.

Shikamaru noticed that Hinata Hyuzu was not the same as the original book this time, and finally knelt down to Hinata Neji.

It has been nearly ten years since Hinata Hinata's death, and it was not until after the Chunin Exam that Hinata Neji was told the truth and showed his suicide note. In fact, even Hinata Neji himself was puzzled!

Maybe Hyuga Nyaku himself can favor Hyuga Neji because of the death of Higashi, which may be the reason why Hyuga Neji has not encountered the provocation of the Hyuga clan until now, but in the final analysis, as the head of the Hyuga clan, the interests of the family and the interests of the clan It means that there is only so much Hyuga Nichizu can do.

If Ningji Hyuga did not have the performance during the Zhongnin exam in the original book.

Even if the stunningly talented Hinata Ningji lost to Uzumaki Naruto, he still wouldn't make people feel slighted, especially Hinata Hinata who was proficient in soft boxing.

But what makes people frightened is not only the talent, but also the deep-seated hatred for the clan and the Hyuga clan.

This is a boy who can make the Hinata clan flourish.This was probably the thought that kept reverberating in Hinata Hyuzu's mind at that time.

As the head of the Hyuga Clan, Hyuga Hyuzu didn't think of killing Hyuga Neiji at the first time, and he already remembered Hyuga Hyuzai's kindness.

Of course, Hyuga Neji has no chance to show his astonishing talent like in the original book, but the acupressure techniques revealed are already rare. Hyuga Hyuzu hesitated again and again, but he still didn’t want Hyuga Neji to embark on the road of confrontation with the Hyuga clan, so he came forward win over.

Shikamaru doesn't know what Hinata Hyuzu thinks, but this doesn't hinder Shikamaru's opinion of him.

This is not prejudice, it is just the most fundamental measurement of the interests and classes attributed to their respective positions.

Hyuga Hyuzu represents the interests of the Hyuga Clan and the clan. He himself is the beneficiary of this system. He does not think of destroying it at all, but tries his best to maintain it. For him, this kind of behavior has nothing to do with good or evil , This is an instinct.

They will deceive others in order to protect their own interests, and flatter the victims of the system.

The so-called "protecting the blood of the Hyuga family" is nonsense. In this case, Hinata Hinata should become a branch family, and the more talented Hyuga Ningji should become the main family, and those who are capable will live in it. This is development. The foundation of growing the Hyuga family, so this statement is nothing more than a shameless excuse to defend the beneficiaries who have now been included in the clan class.

Hinata Hinata can tolerate the constant hatred and resistance to this system, and has little concern for showing such emotions, and Hinata Ningji, who is not low in talent, has been regarded as having a "conscience" for so long.

"... Your father's spirit is admirable." After a long time, Shikamaru lowered his eyelids and said softly after hearing Hinata Neji's words, his words were sincere and from the heart.

"Yes, my father chose to sacrifice himself for the sake of the family, the patriarch, and Muye Village." Hyuga Neji breathed a sigh of relief, and said sadly: "I will never be as good as my father, he is a great ninja."

"What you said only made me regret, not what I admire." Unexpectedly, Shikamaru commented a little coldly after hearing Hinata Neji's words.
