Hyuga's Rebellion

Chapter 21 Consciousness
"Mr. Akai, can you let me go?"

Feeling the big hands still exerting strength on his shoulders, Neji shook his body, and turned his head to look at Akai and Kakashi with serious faces.

"Don't be so impulsive next time, Neji!"

Looking at the disciple who had almost become a stranger for a moment, a trace of worry flashed in Akai's eyes, and his tone was slightly low.

"I will remember this sentence, Teacher Akai!"

After taking a cold look and staring at Kakashi at himself, Neji snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the exit.

"You bastard, where else are you going?"

Seeing Neji who showed no signs of repentance for hurting Hinata, Uzumaki Naruto asked with a burst of anger in his heart.

"Didn't you learn your lesson, or did you not listen to what I said at all?"

Looking at Naruto Uzumaki who was still relentless, Neji laughed dumbfounded.

"No matter how powerful you are, for Hinata, I will definitely defeat you!"

As if he had learned a lesson from the scene just now, this time Naruto did not choose to do it directly, but instead suppressed the anger in his heart, pointed at Neji with his right hand and said loudly.

"Kill me?"

Naruto's words were stated in his mouth, making Ningci's expression slowly turn cold. This was the first time he looked at the boy in front of him squarely, and looked at him with the same eyes. Kakashi and Akai next to him couldn't help but look shocked. This level of murderous aura was about to overtake them. The Junin couldn't help being shocked, let alone those little ghosts who couldn't even be called Chunin.

"The current Neji is terrifying!"

Sakura, who had felt the murderous aura of Orochimaru, couldn't help turning pale at this moment, and her body subconsciously moved away from Neji a few steps. Only Gaara, who was indifferent to Neji's murderous aura, was watching Neji from the stands. His eyes at this moment He was wide open, with bloodshot eyes like spider webs all over his eyeballs. It seemed that Neji's murderous aura had a strong influence on him.

"Naruto Uzumaki, remember what I said, the next time you meet me, you will die in my hands. If you don't want to die, just get stronger during this time!"

Neji's eyes were full of malice that he could no longer conceal, and the naked murderous intent made Naruto's body stiffen immediately. Looking at the embarrassed Naruto, Neji sneered and walked out with a disdainful sneer.

While passing by Xiao Li, Ning Ci suddenly stopped, didn't look back and just said something lightly.

"Xiao Li, I am very aware of your strength, but you have to listen to what I say next. If your opponent is Gaara, you must either abstain, or explode with all your strength from the beginning, if you can defeat him!"

After leaving this sentence, Ningci stopped staying, and there was no longer any competition of his own. After staying like this, Ningci was afraid that he would not be able to restrain his malice towards that boy with nine tails, so he really killed him here. .

"Teacher Akai?"

Listening to Ning Ci's last warning, Xiao Li raised his head and looked at Akai beside him with a complicated expression.

"Let him go, he is so calm and calm by himself!"

A Kai stared at Ning Ci's back and said slowly.

Different from the original book, today's Tiantian and Xiao Li have already understood what the Zong family is bound to Ningci. Although they sympathize with Hinata's experience, they will not intervene in matters that belong to Ningci. After all, Ningci's strength, they But it is very clear that if he really has murderous intentions towards Hinata, even the teacher may not be able to catch up with him.

And this fact, Mr. Akai is obviously aware of it.

"Li, if your opponent is that sand hidden ninja, I allow you to use that!"

Hearing Ning Ci's warning to Xiao Li, A Kai also felt a bad breath from the red-haired kid carrying a gourd in Sha Yin, and became vigilant in his heart, and began to lift the usual constraints on Xiao Li's strength.

"Hi, I see, Teacher Akai!"

Excitedly flicking his right hand, Xiao Li was obviously very happy with A Kai's decision, and only A Kai and Xiao Li knew the meaning of the conversation.

Listening to the conversation between the master and the apprentice, Kakashi on the side stared at the two with a complicated expression. As Akai's mortal enemy, perhaps he was the only one who knew the meaning of Akai's words.

In the middle of the stands, the third Hokage who had been watching all this from the very beginning, and Sarutobi Hiruzane had a serious expression on his face. Even he did not expect that Neji had grown to this point, and the plan that was expected in his heart before, at this moment It also became uncertain.

And the friction between Neji and Naruto made him understand that it might not be so easy to untie this child's knot now!

Thinking of this in my heart, this old man who was nearly seventy years old suddenly felt extremely exhausted in his heart!
He rubbed his temples on both sides with a headache, and fell into the eyes of Naruto, who seemed to think of the figure of the blond man. The Third Hokage couldn't help but said with emotion: "Minato, if it was you, you should be able to do it." better!"

Red Dou and Anbu next to him were slightly taken aback when they heard this, and glanced at the obvious age spots on the cheeks of the old man in front of them, making their eyes dim slightly, yes, even if it is Konoha Hokage, this man is already too old He had already resigned, but he had to bear the sad news of the fourth generation. He had to hold on to take over the heavy responsibility of Hokage again, and the complicated things over the years had made this old man, who was over seventy years old, exhausted physically and mentally.

Knowing this, the two wisely did not disturb the old man's memories of the past alone!

……

Leaving the practice field, Ning Ci appeared next to Tian Tian, ​​looking at Tian Tian who was already asleep, even Ning Ci, who was wantonly exuding murderous intent not long ago, could not help but look warm, with a strange look in his eyes, and sat quietly in front of the hospital bed , slowly closed his eyes.

It was a very quiet moment!
Three days after the selection exam, Konoha's nursing home.

The figures of Ning Ci and Tian Tian appeared, but this time they went to visit Xiao Li.

Although he was reminded by Neji, he tried his best to use the strength and speed of the opening of the Eight Gate Dunjia from the beginning, which really caught Gaara by surprise, but as time passed, Xiao Li still fell into the predicament in Neji's memory. That is, the power and speed he obtained after opening the Eight Gate Dunjia simply couldn't cause enough damage to Gaara to end the game.

As the side effects of Bamen Dunjia gradually became apparent, he still lost the competition, but it was better than he remembered. With Neji's reminder, Akai deliberately guarded, and Gaara tried to crush Xiao Li's double. The moment the leg bone was shot, it was shot.

Therefore, when Ning Ci looked at Xiao Li who was lying on the hospital bed tightly wrapped in bandages, it was just a sequelae after opening the Bamen Dunjia, but even so, I am afraid that Xiao Li would probably lie on the hospital bed for a long time.

"Well, you already have enough understanding of your own strength!"

Ning Ci was sitting by the bed, Tian Tian, ​​who had already recovered, was peeling apples for Xiao Li with a knife, looking at Xiao Li who couldn't move on the hospital bed, and asked faintly. ·

"Well, although I'm not reconciled, I don't regret it. After trying my best, I already roughly understand what I can achieve!"

Lying on the hospital bed, Xiao Li, who couldn't move at all, rolled his eyes slightly through the thick bandages, and his tone showed firmness instead of frustration.

"You've grown up, Lee!"

With his hands folded, Ning Ci sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Xiao Li who looked like a mummy, with a hint of emotion in his tone.

"Naruto and the others came to see me yesterday!"

Xiao Li, who was lying on the hospital bed, suddenly mentioned this matter, which instantly dropped the atmosphere in the ward to a freezing point. Hearing this, Tian Tian, ​​who was peeling an apple, almost trembled.

"Okay, I get it now!"

After a moment of silence, Ning Ci glanced at Xiao Li on the bed and gave an answer.

"Naruto told me that Hinata was seriously injured and is still in the emergency room!"

Xiao Li couldn't move at all, and could only observe the changes in Ning Ci from the corner of his eyes.

"Are you blaming me, Lee?"

Quietly looking at his companion in front of him, Ning Ci's tone changed slightly.

"No, I just feel that I am getting farther and farther away from you now. I am afraid that even Teacher Akai doesn't know what level you have reached now..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Li's tone became a little more serious, he turned around with difficulty, and set his eyes on Ning Ci who was silent at the side.

"Li, your injury hasn't healed yet, don't push yourself so hard!"

While peeling an apple, Tian Tian, ​​who was listening to the conversation between the two, watched Xiao Li's movements and hurriedly stopped him.

"Actually, Tian Tian, ​​​​you also know that Neji, who is stronger than us, has to train harder than any of us. That level of training, day after day, year after year, can be said to be the best in Konoha. No one works harder than you, but why, Neji, you have become so strong, why do you force yourself, it seems that something in your heart has been oppressing you, making you a stranger!"

Lying on the hospital bed, Xiao Li told the truth that Tian Tian had been hiding in his heart.

"Are you curious about this?"

Hearing Xiao Li's doubts, Ning Ci's expression became more and more calm, and he quietly watched the two of them ask indifferently.

"There is a point. We don't know what Neji is hiding in your heart. We are just worried about you. As for why, it is probably because you are the first person who agrees with me!"

When Xiao Li said this, Tian Tian didn't object, and it seemed that she was expressing her worries.

"If you have to say a reason, it's actually very simple..."

Ning Ci was silent for a while when he said this, and then added: "Because I became stronger, I became more and more small. I have lost myself because of fate, and I don't want to lose my soul because of being weak. !"

Speaking of this, Ning Ci closed his eyes, and memory fragments from the future were flashing in his mind one after another.

Losing to Uzumaki Naruto in the Chunin Exam at the last moment, not only was he physically defeated, but even at that moment he was denied himself, and the belief he had always insisted on was also defeated. He believed in Nizuzu and reconciled with the Zongjia.

But in the end, his own destiny is no different from the fate of the separated families for thousands of years. Those who were bound by the curse had to die for the clan, but he was willing to embark on his own destiny, to serve the family. Asura, the reincarnated son of the Sage of the Six Paths, withstood the ten-tailed attack.

In the end, nothing changed, the separation of the family is still the separation of the family, imprisoned on the forehead with the brand of the bird in the cage, not only imprisoning the Lord's own body, but even his own soul does not belong to him.

If this is my destiny, I choose to refuse!

Ning Ci opened his eyes, and from this moment began to struggle against his own destiny.
