Escape From Konoha
Vol 9 Chapter 122: touch
Dark clouds covered the sky, thunder light shone in the clouds, and there was a faint roaring sound.
The speed of the raindrops seems to be falling faster.
Even though it was only noon, the sky seemed to let the night fall in advance.
The dull atmosphere squeezed in the room made it hard to breathe.
Most of the figures on the day shift were shrouded in the shadow of the room wall, and the pair of white pupils looking at Neji were very bright.
Although regarding Ning Ci's problem, he had expected that this day would come sooner or later.
But he didn't expect this day to come so quickly, which caught him off guard, and he didn't even prepare the words of defense in advance.
No, in front of a son with a bright mind and a clear mind, any sophistry explanation is meaningless.
What's more, Ning Ci personally verified this matter.
Because once some things are noticed, it is difficult not to make people doubt and suspect.
Facing the silent father, Ning Ci clenched his fists tighter and tighter. Although his chest was already filled with boundless anger, his tone was surprisingly calm.
"This kind of thing... when..."
when?
It's really an ambiguous question.
Rizai sighed in his heart.
There is really no need to hide this kind of thing.
"It has been a rule since ancient times, but after the split seventeen years ago, the clan's restrictions on divisions have become even more severe."
Riza replied lightly.
"Seventeen years ago..."
Ning Ci came to a sudden, and didn't feel too much surprise.
Seventeen years ago, that was the time when Hinata Ayane defected to Konoha.
If that year is used as the dividing line, many things do make sense.
"That's right. Coincidentally, when the third Ninja World War broke out that year, Konoha was forced to be involved in the battlefield. The Hyuga Clan, who should have gone all out to fight on the front line, turned out to be betrayed by Ayane Hyuga. Had to hide in the village in the early stage of the war, unable to send manpower to the front line to support."
"Is it because the other party has the ability to crack the bird in the cage?"
Ning Ci asked.
Rizai recalled the scene of that year, and it seemed to be vivid and fresh in his memory.
"Yes, this technology was obtained by a person who is hostile to the Hyuga clan, and the consequences are more terrible than imagined. But the village is tight on the frontline battlefield, and the retreat strategy of the Hyuga clan has attracted many people's dissatisfaction. As a last resort, for Send the tribe to the battlefield as soon as possible to support, and at the same time appease the high-level, the clan at that time could only use extreme means to control the division."
That is to monitor the families of all branch ninjas who go out to perform tasks, and monitor them 24 hours a day.
Once the branch ninjas who go out defect or act against the main family, their family members will be executed.
Using the family as a deterrent, even though the divided family is dissatisfied, they can only obey all the orders of the clan.
Such a result, Neji can guess it with a little brainstorming.
"At that time, Anbu, who was directly under Hokage, assisted the main family's actions. Every move of the branch family was monitored to prevent defectors from instigating rebellion. And the effect was obvious. During the third Ninja World War, the branch under Konoha No one from the family defected. Although there may be some careful thoughts behind the scenes, under the coercive policy of the Zong family, they did not dare to act recklessly on the surface. Here, the Zong family and the Branch family reunited on the surface, and the "trust" was restored relation."
But this kind of 'trust' threatens the separation of the family for the safety of the family members, and forces the establishment of a 'trust' relationship with the clan.
Such trust can be said to be fragile.
Once such a relationship is broken, there will be no room for buffer between the branch family and the main family, and fierce conflicts will inevitably erupt.
But the good thing is that as long as there are no accidents, the main family and the branch family are still as close as one family on the surface, trust each other, and maintain the original contract.
And as a day difference that has been given a high degree of trust by the clan, it is also unavoidable.
He and Neji couldn't leave the village at the same time, one must go out, the other must stay in the family, and accept the 24-hour surveillance of the family like a prisoner.
"As expected..."
Ning Ci closed his eyes sadly, breathing heavily.
Even though he had expected it, but when he came to such a conclusion from his father Risai himself, humiliation and anger inevitably surged in his heart, so that a dark feeling of wanting to destroy everything was born in his heart.
Guys from the Zong family, what do you think of the separation of the family?
Is such a clan really worthy of his continued allegiance?
After Ning Ci got angry, unprecedented confusion appeared in his opened eyes.
He no longer knew why he fought in the past.
I don't know who to fight for next.
Life feels like nothing matters.
Whether it is the family or the village, he has no reason to fight for it.
What's the point of continuing to practice and become stronger?
Anyway, this is the only way in this life.
Ning Ci's will quickly sank, his eyes lost their light, his head was lowered, and his mind was full of negative and indifferent thoughts.
Although he could force himself to continue fighting, whether it was fighting for the family or for the village, he felt extremely repelled just by imagining it.
Thinking of the indifferent attitude of the elders of the branch family, Ning Ci suddenly understood why they faced life so turbulently and calmly. Calm down.
The only ones who are deceived are the younger generation who are separated.
But young people will always grow up until they discover this cruel fact, and then become like those elders who live in the family with an attitude that everything doesn't matter.
Even the thought of hatred is probably too lazy to show it, because it is meaningless.
Ning Ci smiled wryly.
Before he knew the answer, all he thought about was how to fight for the family and the village.
But now, such thoughts have completely disappeared from my mind.
"Sorry, I seem to be a little tired, go back and rest first, father."
Seeing Ningji walking out of the room in a daze, Nissai wanted to keep him, but he just opened his mouth, not knowing what words to comfort him, and finally could only silently watch his back, disappearing from sight.
Hope he can come out of the shadows and get back on his feet.
"Zong family, oh..."
In the room, there was a sigh of the day difference.
It's pointless to go on like this forever.
Tossing and turning on the bed, what Ning Ci recalled in his mind was still the words that the day difference said at noon, which made him unable to let go of it for a long time.
He is only thirteen years old this year, and when he thinks that the next few decades may be so meaningless, living like a walking corpse, Neji can't help feeling sad and depressed.
But self-killing is too extreme, at least Neji doesn't have any thoughts of committing suicide, even though he no longer has great expectations for the future.
And the root of everything is not caused by that woman—Hinata Ayane, the root of all unreasonableness lies in the caged bird. Hyuga Ayane, at best, was the last straw that overwhelmed the trust relationship between the main family and the sub-family. The hidden problems within the Hyuga clan had already appeared, and it was not brought about by Hyuga Ayane.
Therefore, Neji didn't have the slightest hatred for the Hyuga clan in the kingdom of ghosts.
Some are just envious, and some have unexplainable longings.
In this family, as well as in this village, I can no longer find a reason to fight for it, and my dreams in life have become worthless and wiped out.
As long as the mark on his forehead is not removed, no matter how optimistic he is in facing life, Neji will still feel resentful and repulsive.
Humans are such creatures.
Even if they are looking at the same things, watching the same scenery, and talking about the same things, the resulting feelings are completely different.
The joy of those people, I can't feel it, and I can't empathize with it.
It's like they don't understand what the inner world of a person who has lost their freedom is like.
Therefore, rather than depression and helplessness, Ning Ci is more at a loss for the future.
It's like coming to a fork where many roads intersect. It seems that any road can be taken, but it seems that whichever road to go on is unsatisfactory, there is no value in going on, and life is empty.
If freedom is restricted, personality is humiliated, and even the closest family members are subjected to extreme injustice, then it is inevitable to have such thoughts.
Reality is utterly empty.
Then the only freedom I have now is probably to dream.
Ning Ci couldn't help laughing at himself.
He can also try not to think about it and be a fool who doesn't know anything, but now as long as he closes his eyes, he can only feel the emptiness in his heart. No matter what, Neji doesn't like self-deception.
Looking out the window, the thunderstorm had stopped at some point.
It was already night, and before he knew it, he had been thinking in bed for most of the day.
Since he had eaten two rice **** in the morning, he hadn't eaten anything all day. Neji felt a little hungry and wanted to find something to fill his stomach.
No matter what, life still has to go on, at least there may be hope for living.
Although this hope is very slim.
Just when he got up and was about to get out of bed, his body suddenly froze, and a gust of cold air rushed from the soles of his feet to the Tianling Gai, like an ice cave.
A figure appeared in the shadowed corner of the room at some point, with a pair of sharp eyes staring straight at him in the darkness.
"who!?"
Ning Ci jumped to the side, put on a soft fist posture, and looked vigilantly at the figure in the shadow of the corner.
With his strength, he was completely unaware that there was an extra person in the room. Although it was true that he was immersed in thinking, it also showed the strength of this intruder.
Jonin.
And it's a strong Jonin.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to sneak into his room silently.
"Take it easy, it's me."
A figure slowly came out from the corner. It was a man with a kind smile on his face, and he didn't mind Neji's vigilance at all.
Has the same white eyes as Neji, but is much older than Neji, about twenty-six or seven years old, with black hair and shawl, handsome appearance,
It is a unique symbol of the Hyuga clan.
"Are you...Senior Xuejian?"
Seeing the man's appearance, Neji was taken aback and recognized the man's identity.
Sun Xiangxuejian.
The elite Jonin of the Hyuga Clan.
Although he is not an elder of the branch family, his status is not inferior to that of elders at all.
Moreover, he won the trust of the Zong family, and he did a lot of things for the Zong family to oppress the branch family, and he had a very bad reputation among the branch families.
Not only that, but he was also very at odds with his father, and the two often had disputes over political views.
It can be said that he is a lackey who is loyal to the clan.
Having said that, Neci knew him only through written information, but in reality, the number of times he met with the other party could be counted on the fingers of the fingers.
He couldn't figure out why such a character would come to him.
However, thinking that the other party is a loyal lackey of the Zong family, could it be that his dissatisfaction with the Zong family has been discovered?
Thinking of this, Ning Ci remained calm on the surface, but began to get nervous inside.
It doesn't matter if something happens to you, but it will be troublesome if your father is involved.
"Are you surprised? I've always wanted to meet you, a well-known genius of the Hyuga clan, alone."
Hyuki smiled slightly.
"You flatter me."
Ning Ci put down his soft fist posture, no matter what, the opponent is also an elite jounin in the clan, so he still needs to have a respectful attitude.
"I don't know what Senior Xue Jian wanted for me?"
After a moment of silence, Ning Ci said, asking the other party's specific intentions.
Hyuga Yukama always had a smile on her face, that fake smile that was visible to the naked eye, gave people a very cold feeling, and could not feel the slightest warmth.
"Although I was entrusted to come to you, it's not a lie to be interested in a genius like you."
"Entrusted by someone?"
Ning Ci was slightly taken aback.
"Yeah, because you're like me.\"
The smile on Hyuga Yukama's face was full of mystery, making Neji unpredictable.
"What's the meaning?"
Neji didn't want to play charades with him.
"Over the years, there are only a few branch members who have been honored to be personally invited by Ayane-sama, and you are one of them."
Hearing Hinata Yukina's words, Neji's pupils widened in shock, because the news was so shocking that Neji began to tremble when he spoke.
"Who are you!?"
traitor! This word suddenly appeared in Neji's mind.
He didn't expect that this branch elite Jonin, who often used the power of the clan to bully the clan, and even willingly became the lackey of the clan, would be a spy planted in the clan by the enemy country!
Ning Ci's hands and feet became cold.
Even this kind of person is a spy, to what extent has the Hyuga clan been infiltrated now?
Hyuga Yukama seemed very satisfied with the shock on Neji's face, and said with a smile:
"Next, I think we should have a good common topic\"
The Hokage Building was shrouded in darkness, and the lights inside were brightly lit.
"Then, it is certain that Uchiha Sasuke is the only one who will be promoted to the Chunin in this exam."
In Hokage's office, Hizan looked at Kakashi who was standing in front of the desk and said.
Kakashi accepted the appointment letter handed over by Shikaku, and Sasuke's promotion to Chunin has been confirmed.
"Congratulations, Kakashi."
Lu Jiu congratulated.
"Ah, thank you."
Kakashi scratched his head, not being too pretentious, and calmly accepted such congratulations.
In fact, the result was almost the same as he expected.
In the finals, only Sasuke and Naruto had the experience of defeating their opponents, and the rest of the contestants were eliminated in the first round.
But compared to Sasuke's comprehensive conditions, Naruto's basic conditions are too low, and it is obviously not suitable for promotion to Zhongnin.
At least Kakashi couldn't imagine which ditch Naruto would lead the team to after he became the team leader.
Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
"My kid is not good at all. He was eliminated in the qualifiers. It seems that he should restrict his leisure time in the future."
Lu Jiu said in distress.
Although the son seems to be a low-motivated person, he also has great expectations.
But if he didn't even make it to the finals, no matter what, it's hard to be promoted to Chunin.
If you miss this opportunity, you can only wait for the next Chunin exam.
"It's just a little later, there's no need to worry."
Kakashi said.
"Then I will take your word for it."
Lu Jiu nodded, he still has this bit of confidence.
"The focus of the next thing is to start the arrangement in the Anbu."
Ri Zhan said at this time.
Both Kakashi and Shikaku looked serious.
Has Tsunade-sama agreed? "
"I've already asked Jiraai to pass. No matter what, the blood of the first generation of adults is flowing in her body. She is the Fifth Hokage that Konoha hopes to belong to. There is no time for her to be self-willed."
Ri Zhan said so firmly, as if he had made up his mind.
"Fifth Hokage? It's finally time."
Lu Jiu exhaled lightly, and it seemed that the burden on his body became heavier.
"The daimyo has already agreed, and the only thing left is the question of Tsunade's return. As for Danzo. How is the trend these days?"
Hizan looked at Kakashi.
Monitoring the roots is also one of Anbu's jobs.
Especially in this special case, the work of monitoring the roots should not be sloppy.
"Everything is normal at the moment, but I don't think it's that simple."
Kakashi replied.
"Yeah, that's what worries me too."
Ri Zhan was very worried.
If Danzo came out to disrupt the situation at this time, it would make him feel at ease, but he was so silent, he didn't know what was being arranged in secret,
That made Ritsu feel restless.
Such a Danzo must be secretly plotting some major conspiracy.
Only by bringing Tsunade back to Konoha as soon as possible and letting everything settle, can Danzo dispel the thoughts that should not have arisen in Danzo's heart.
Even he, Hokage, doesn't know how strong the root is, how many people are in it, and how many radicals have been secretly contacted.
Once these people riot, it is a very terrible thing.
"Do you need to dispatch some people from my side?"
Lu Jiu suggested.
For the roots, he didn't have any good methods.
Danzo is basically impeccable in doing things, and it is difficult to find any handles.
The roots are even more deeply hidden and powerful, and even among the Nara clan, there are some voices of defecting to Danzo. Although these voices are small, it also shows that the current situation is grim.
Danzo, who unites so many fighting factions, has already threatened Hokage.
"Not for the time being, not to that point."
Ri Zhan also considered using the power of the Zhuludie clan, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
Doing so will only scare the snake away and make Danzo hide even deeper.
"Kakashi, you will temporarily return to Anbu until the Fifth Hokage is confirmed to take office."
Ri Zhan quickly made arrangements.
Considering the power of action, it is better for Anbu to monitor the movements of the roots.
"The seventh class"
"I'll find another Jonin to take over temporarily."
"Yes, I'm fine."
Seeing Kakashi stepping back, Hirazan leaned back against the seat and exhaled slowly, his wrinkled face was full of tiredness.
This body is getting worse and worse.
In the dark dense forest, a frog shuttled through the forest, jumped in front of Jiraiya as fast as lightning, and croaked twice.
Jiraiya squatted down, and took out a scroll from the frog's open mouth.
Looking at the text on the scroll with the help of moonlight, Jiraiya frowned after reading it.
"Still haven't found it yet?"
This is the information from Anbu.
This time he came out to look for Tsunade, and brought two teams, a total of eight Anbu members, each of whom is a ninja with strong search capabilities.
But it's been a long time since I left Konoha. Unfortunately, Tsunade's whereabouts have not been found yet.
Whether it's him or Anbuyin, it can be said that he got nothing.
The only information I got was that a week ago, Tsunade seemed to have appeared in a certain casino in Lin Zhiguo, and then he disappeared mysteriously, disappeared mysteriously.
Did you go to Wetbone Forest to hide from me? Zilai also frowned.
Although he could find the location of the Wetbone Forest through Miaomushan's relationship, it is the territory of the Slug Immortal. If Tsunade is determined not to see it, he probably won't even be able to enter the door of the Wetbone Forest in the end.
Moreover, he didn't think Tsunade would suddenly go to the wet bone forest at such a time, there was no need for it at all.
"It's really troublesome work, and I don't even have time to collect materials"
Zilai also complained endlessly.
This point of time is obviously an important time for me to collect materials in the hot spring.
In the end, there was a gloomy cold wind blowing in this kind of place, making Zilai also at a loss for a while.
Originally, I wanted to end this kind of work soon~www.readwn.com~ but right now Tsunade's traces are really hard to track down, and Jiraiya doesn't know when the search will continue like this, and when there will be a result.
"However, then again, this incident is a bit strange. This is the first time Tsunade's trace has disappeared so completely."
Jiraiya's expression became serious, he suddenly remembered something, stroked his chin, and began to ponder.
In the past, although Tsunade would deliberately avoid Konoha's sight, he would not leave no trace behind.
But this time it was different, as if the world had evaporated, and there were no clues to look for.
"I hope nothing happens to her."
Jiraiya looked up at the sad white moon above his head, suppressing the deep anxiety in his heart.
