Hyuga's Rebellion

Chapter 28

In Konoha Village, the Nanga Shrine, which has been abandoned for a long time, is located in the gathering place of the Uchiha clan.

There are cobwebs all over the place, and weeds have grown all over the path leading to the shrine. It seems that no one has been there for a long time.

Under the moonlit night, two men in red robes of Fuyun appeared there.

"squeak"

With the sound of the door being pushed open, pieces of dust fell down.

The ground that was originally paved with bluestone slabs was also completely covered in dust. With the opening of the door that had been dusty for many years, dust rushed in everywhere.

"Itachi-san, wouldn't it be more dangerous here, you know this is the territory of your Uchiha clan?"

Standing at the gate of the shrine, Kisame glanced at the logo with the Uchiha clan emblem printed on the gate, feeling a little puzzled.

"Don't worry, no one will disturb us here!"

Looking around the dilapidated shrine with nostalgia, Itachi's tone showed a bit of fatigue.

This made Guixier a little surprised. After paying more attention to his companion, he looked at the Itachi who had been leaning against the corner and closed his eyes to rest his mind after cleaning up for a while, but he felt that it should be taken for granted.

Even the Uchiha clan, if they use that pupil technique for a long time, their bodies will not be able to support it, not to mention that today not only used Tsukiyomi, but also Amaterasu was forced to use it in order to deal with Jiraiya, one of the Sannin , so it is understandable that Itachi-san is exhausted now.

Thinking of this, the corner of Guixie's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't say anything more.

Under the lonely moonlight, a tall man leaned quietly outside the door. Except for the occasional slight noise from the extinguished bonfire, the night near the shrine was extremely quiet.

In the early morning of the next day, it was by a stream far away from the range of Konoha.

The figures of Itachi and Kisame appeared there, and the two of them were sitting and resting for a while, when suddenly the rings on their hands vibrated at the same time.

Aware of all this, the eyes of the two slightly met each other.

"Did you find us?"

Itachi looked up at the sky full of clouds, and murmured.

"Yeah, it really makes people can't be idle for a moment!"

Putting the Yuji on the stone by the river, Guiyu, who was replenishing water, had a hint of emotion in his tone.

……

Standing by the river, with Kisame and Itachi maintaining the state of seal formation, the two connected to Payne's technique.

"You are finally here, Kisame, Itachi!"

Also maintaining the seal state, Payne Tiandao looked at the two who finally arrived and said.

"There is actually one more person here, can't it be a newcomer?"

Seeing the obvious extra figure, Kisame grinned and said.

"You guessed it right, Kisame, that's exactly the purpose of my summoning you this time."

After glancing at Ghost Shark, Payne finally revealed his purpose.

"Oh, that's really strange, since I joined the Akatsuki organization, no newcomers have joined!"

Holding a long and narrow scythe, Hiduan's voice came over.

"Everyone calm down, let the newcomer introduce himself, you must know that he is Itachi's junior!"

Having said that, Payne's gaze stayed on the silent Itachi for a while.

"interesting!"

Hearing this, Guixier stared closely at the shadow of the newcomer, eyes full of curiosity.

Even Uchiha Itachi on the side couldn't help raising his head, looking at this junior who was also Konoha Renin.

"Hinata Ningji, please take care of me when we meet for the first time, Senior Itachi!"

After being silent for a long time, Neji, who was hiding in the shadows, finally spoke. He raised his head and looked at Itachi Uchiha opposite, with a very flat tone.

"Neiji Hyuga...are you a member of the branch family?"

After being silent for a while, Itachi still spoke. After finding out the somewhat unfamiliar name from his memory, he quickly understood the meaning of the name.

"You guessed it right, I'm a member of the branch family, Senior Itachi!"

Not caring about his identity at all, Neji smiled slightly and admitted all this.

"Okay, let's stop here. I have one more thing to announce. The matter of Orochimaru will be handled by Neji. After all, the ring that represents the status symbol of the organization was also taken away by Orochimaru when he left the organization. It is also very suitable as an assessment for newcomers.”

The Samsara Eye glanced at the gathered members, and Payne's voice sounded again.

"Wait a minute, I remember Orochimaru is my goal!"

Hearing this, the silent Xie suddenly spoke.

"That's what I'm going to say next, Xie, tell Neji all the news about your mastery of Orochimaru, don't hold anything back!"

Staring at the somewhat dissatisfied Scorpion, Payne said slowly.

"Tch, looks like another kid who died prematurely"

Xie snorted dissatisfied, and his eyes full of scrutiny fell on Ning Ci for a long time.

"I don't need to worry about that, Senior Xie, I am very confident in my own strength!"

Neji replied neither soft nor hard, he didn't have too many worries about Orochimaru Ningji, you must know that physical ninjas are often the natural enemies of ninjutsu ninjas, not to mention that Orochimaru is in the weakest state today, Naturally, Neji didn't have many worries.

For Ning Ci's answer that did not show weakness, Xie only snorted coldly, and stopped entangled in words.

"Let's leave the others, Scorpio, stay with Neji, and tell him all the information about Orochimaru!"

The meeting was announced to be over, but in the end, Payne still repeated the order not long ago to Scorpion.

Buzzing, along with a few figures disappearing.

In the spiritual space built by Payne, only Scorpion and Neji remained there.

After a while, Neji, who was still in the seal state, finally opened his eyes.

On the top of the tall tower, Payne Tiandao was sitting there leaning, and Xiao Nan was also standing there.

"understand?"

Sensing that Neji had been released from the surgery, Payne, who was sitting on the top of the tower, looked down and asked with a twitch of his mouth.

"Well, Senior Scorpion has already told me!"

Ning Ci nodded and explained to Payne who was on the side.

"That's good, I will wait for you near the village, and then you two will form a group, and I will leave the matter of Orochimaru to you!"

After glancing at Ning Ci lightly, Tiandao said slowly.

"I see!"

After a flat reply, Ning Ci didn't stay any longer, stepped on the transparent air with both legs, and walked slowly towards the entrance of the village.

At the entrance of Yuyin Village, Ning Ci appeared there wearing a red floating cloud robe.

Only his right hand tilted and pressed the bamboo hat tied with the wind chime, and the white eyes in the exposed gap had been opened.

"Jingle Bell!"

The wind blew, and with the melodious ringtone, Ning Ci suddenly spoke.

"Come out, Senior Jue, my white eyes have already noticed you!"

Neji lowered his head and rolled his eyes, looking at the ground and said slowly.

"It's really good eyes. You know, even Uchiha Itachi's Sharingan can't detect me in the sneaked state!"

The ground shook slightly, and a man in the shape of a pitcher plant floated out of the ground. His body was black and white, and even his tone of voice was different.

"Stop talking stupid things, Bai Jue, Bai Yan's power of observation is not comparable to that of Sharingan!"

Different from Bai Jue's jumping between speeches before, Hei Jue's tone is hoarse and steady.

"You know Baiyan's information very well, Senior Heijue!"

Neji's face was hidden in the bamboo hat, and only his eyes were exposed. Although no one could see his specific expression, his tone of voice was a bit of a pun.

"All of this is just my job of investigating intelligence. After all, there is only the Hyuga clan in the ninja world, and this is the only blood successor clan that retains the pupil technique!"

As if not aware of the surprise in Ning Ci's tone, Hei Jue explained slowly.

"That's really hard work!"

Let go of the right hand holding the hat, Ning Ci's expression was completely covered by the hat, and he could hear the ups and downs in his tone during the exchange, it was so flat.

"Mr. Ning Ci is still considerate of us, but other people in the organization don't understand our difficulties at all!"

During the speech, it seemed that he was touched by Ning Ci's simple exclamation, and the detached Bai Jue narrated in an exaggerated tone.

"Let's go!"

With his body hidden by the red floating cloud robe, Ning Ci took the lead to walk out of the village.

"Where is our destination, Ning Ci-kun?"

After sneaking into the ground again, Heijue, who just exposed the top of his head, asked in a hoarse tone.

"Who knows, probably the only clue is the casino!"

Neji, who was hiding under the bamboo hat, replied very lightly.

"Ok?"

Bai Jue was a little puzzled, after all, this answer was completely incomprehensible.

"Because I'm not sure about the exact location of that woman."

Speaking of this, the woman known as the fat sheep flashed in Ning Ci's eyes.

"Oh, I see, you are talking about that woman, the woman who is the same Sannin as Orochimaru!"

Finally understood who the woman Neci was referring to, Hei Jue added belatedly.

"Then let's go, Orochimaru won't be able to wait long, we must speed up!"

Thinking of the uncomfortable man, Neji added a little, and then quickened his pace.

And listening to Ning Ci's words, even Bai Jue became quiet, and his speed was not much slower than Ning Ci's after fully merging into the ground.

Along the way, it was extremely quiet.

However, this is also in line with Ning Ci's intentions. The intentional reduction in the frequency of communication will prevent Hei Jue from seeing too many flaws. After all, everything learned from future memories has already made Nei Ci very hard to restrain.

After all, as Otsutsuki Kaguya's only surviving son, the blood flowing in his body is the key to breaking the caged bird curse.

Knowing this, Neji worked so hard to restrain himself.

After all, I only have one chance, but I must not act rashly until I find the ninjutsu that restrains Heijue from blending into the ground!
