Naruto: I Will Never Go Offline

Neji and Ino followed the map given by the second Hokage and came to a small place in the back of Konoha.

It was barren and looked desolate.

"Here... I remember here."

Neji blinked, her memory still fresh.

Because this is where Neji asked Kosuke about swordsmanship 40 years later.

"fencing……"

Neji and Ino looked at the desolate place, sitting in a simple log cabin.

There is no yard outside the log house, but it was made of some simple wooden signs. Some new seedlings were planted around the log house, but after a heavy rain, more than half of them were washed away and the roots were unearthed. The method of planting is also Very immature.

Inside, a boy about the same age as Neji ran out.

"You..." He widened his eyes in surprise, very surprised.

...

Inside the house, several people sat on the floor.

On the table, the taste was still familiar, Gu Jie made tea and served it to Neji and Ino.

This was clearly the place from more than 40 years ago, and for some unknown reason, Neji suddenly had the impression that he had been there in ancient times.

He chuckled and said, "This tea is very good."

He took a sip, and after the bitterness, it brought some sweetness.

"Yeah, this tea is a specialty tea produced in a small tea garden in the back mountain of Konoha. I haven't given a name yet. This tea is very sweet, very suitable for normal use after a long journey, and it can relieve fatigue."

After he said that, he took a sip himself, and he couldn't see the appearance of a teenager at all, and he looked like a veteran who had lived for many years.

He added: "But I didn't expect that the two guests that the second-generation Hokage-sama personally asked me to receive are actually your two benefactors! It's too fateful, why don't you, benefactor, name this tea? "

Ningci chuckled and asked for a while, and then said, "You were rescued by a ninja in the village of fog hidden that day. It was also raining before you came here. Why don't you call it the rainy season?"

"Okay, good name. The name given by the benefactor is not poetic!"

"Okay, don't call me benefactor anymore, I'm Hixiang Tianren, you can call me Tianren."

"Heaven... Tianren?"

Gu Jie widened his eyes dumbfounded, and a ray of light flashed.

"It turns out that you are the Hinata Tennin who defeated Yunyin Village's second-generation Raikage with swordsmanship!? Really? Is it really you? And it was defeated by one move, you..."

The speed of Gu Jie's speech suddenly changed, and both Neji and Ino were a little surprised.

"Uh...that, just luck."

Neji chuckled, although it was like something that Tianren would admit generously, but Neji still couldn't do such a cheeky thing.

"Don't be humble, don't be humble! Master!"

Gu Jie shouted quickly, and then said: "You accept me as your apprentice, I worship you as your teacher! I want to learn swordsmanship from you!"

Neji was a little embarrassed, although Tobirama didn't give him any tasks, but when he was here to avoid the limelight for a while, he hadn't thought about accepting disciples at will.

On the other hand, Ino smiled lightly, and looked at Neji in a meaningful way.

Neji was stunned, and vaguely remembered that after Neji asked the sixty-year-old Kosuke to teach swordsmanship, Kosuke recounted the sporadic episodes he once learned swordsmanship with Hinata Tennin.

It is said that the time is short, but for him, there is a great inspiration for swordsmanship...

"Brother Tianren, I am an orphan, and I lost my parents since I was a child. I decided to become a ninja halfway, just to protect myself. To this day, I don't have any relatives or friends of my own, and I have been living here alone, and I was taken in by the second generation of Hokage. Me, swordsmanship is a protective skill that my parents left for me, I don't want to lose this skill, please... teach me swordsmanship!"

Seeing that Gu Jie had fallen to his knees, Neji was not in a dilemma, only chuckled: "Get up, I will teach you swordsmanship, but you don't need to call me master. You just need to remember that I will be called Hi Xiang Tian Ren. ."

Gu Jie raised his head moved, stared blankly into Neji's eyes, and the two looked at each other.

At this moment, Gu Jie completely remembered Neji's gentle and indifferent gaze.

So, from this day on, Kosuke learned swordsmanship from Neji.

And Neji also added some fun to this boring life, but what Kosuke taught was naturally some basic swordsmanship.

The life here is peaceful. The three of them occasionally go hunting in the back mountain. The rabbits and fish they catch are cooked by Ino, and they have a big meal together at night.

Moreover, it was very stable here. There was a thousand miles of jungle with Konoha in the back, and there was a group of Konoha defenses in front. It was basically at the right time and place, and Neji was able to sleep well.

One day, gradually into the night.

"Boo hoo hoo hoo"!

The phantom of the sword drew back little by little, and Gu Jie tried his best to control his breathing and let out a long sigh of relief.

"That's great, the swordsmanship of Konoha Liuliu is getting better and better, which is inseparable from the skills that Senior Tennin gave me!"

Kosuke exclaimed with joy, and Neji also put away the *** in his hand and put it into the sheath, saying: "Then you just need to find this direction and keep practicing every day. You will one day be good at swordsmanship. reached a state of ecstasy.”

"I...really? Can I do it?"

Kosuke is looking forward to it.

Neji chuckled: "Of course, as long as you persevere. It's getting late, let's take a break."

At night, the three of them sat around the table and chatted about the past.

"So, did your parents disappear in that disaster? Why not try to find them?" Ino asked.

Gu Jie showed a helpless look, his eyes were full of insincere words.

"No, no. After that disaster, the neighboring country of the vortex was destroyed."

"The country of the vortex?"

"Yeah, the village we are in is right on the dividing line between the country of vortex and the country of rain."

"War... it's really a terrible thing." Ino murmured.

"The country of vortex has no hope. In recent years, it has been looted by nearby robbers. It is said that some big countries hire ninjas to kill them all... Not long ago, the sparsely populated vortex village was looted by beasts. A strangely dressed person appeared near there, looking for something very ferociously, there are already corpses scattered around the country of the vortex."

This news suddenly woke up Neji.

"Where did the news come from?"

"The villagers outside the back mountain! They are here to defect to Muye Village. It has been going on for several days, and many people in Wuchao Village are now displaced..."

Neji and Ino's eyes seemed to see some hope and determination.

At night, Neji secretly decided that the matter of Konoha Village and the second Hokage would be put aside for now, and he had to rush to Vortex Village, where he might be able to find any clues he needed.

However, this time, I slept very restlessly.

As soon as I woke up the next day, I got up early and went to the Hokage Building. Kosuke Maruxing, who rushed back, shouted as he ran, "It's not good! Brother Tennin!"

"what happened?"

Neji walked out, and Ino had just put on his clothes, and asked sleepily, "What, what's wrong?"

Gu Jie gasped and said hesitantly: "The Kingdom of Thunder and Thunder has declared war on the Kingdom of Fire! The people of Yun and Hidden Village, he, they have already dispatched vanguard troops to attack Konoha Village!"

"The war... has begun!"
