Red sand dust

What happened on the moon, except for a few people with keen senses who realized what was going on, most of the ninja world knew nothing about it.

When Hyuga Neji returned to the family mansion, apart from the concerned clan leader Hinata Hinata, who looked sideways, he also said a few greetings to Hyuga Hinata, his cousin.

"Sure enough, he is just a rising star who has received little attention. To the entire family, he is not worth mentioning! 』

Hinata Neji, who had expected this for a long time, sighed softly.

Not to mention a teenage boy who has just shown his prowess, even Hinata Hizashi, the clan leader, is only an integral part of the huge machine of the Hyuga family. Only the "part" named "Clan Leader" is slightly important. Just a little.

"The relationship between individuals, collectives, and organizations is exactly as Daimaru said. No matter how it changes, its core purpose remains the same! 』

A group of people with the same interests, using something as a bond, gather together and strive for common interests.

In theory, this should be the case, but in reality, the intricate relationship causes these groups to always deviate from their original intentions.

Change is not a bad thing, but in most cases, elderly families are heading towards collapse in all likelihood.

The clansmen always pride themselves on maintaining the honor of the family, but in the eyes of outsiders like Daimaru, the more emphasis is placed on something, the more something is missing.

"Glory...can it really be passed down from generation to generation?" 』

During the chat, Daimaru also asked Hyuga Neji these questions. Even in difficult times, the genius of the Hyuga family, who is proud of his blood, Byakugan, and soft fists, gave an affirmative answer without hesitation, but was completely refuted by Daimaru. .

"The so-called prestige and glory of our ancestors are not wealth but a burden. The only inheritance that can be left to our descendants is something that can truly bring strength..."

They are proud of the Blood Succession Limit and Soft Fist, because they can bring great advantages to the Hyuga clan, gain powerful strength, and have very important strategic value to the village.

Including the rules of clan and branch families, and the existence of the "caged bird" curse seal, they are all to keep the Byakugan blood line from leaking out, and to use this as a reason to unite the clan members.

"If you think that you have gained powerful power, you can dismantle the order of the Hyuga family. You are undoubtedly too naive. If you cannot replace the benefits of this decadent and backward system with greater benefits, those weak clan members would rather be imprinted." A bird in a cage, driven by the Zong family, is unwilling to fight for the so-called freedom..."

At least the traditional family structure can ensure that they will not be abducted by outsiders who covet the blood lineage - eye-gouging or put on the test bed. Not every Hyuga clan member is a genius and can be as strong as Hyuga Neji. Have sufficient self-protection capabilities.

In the night, the evening breeze gently blew through the curtains, blowing on Hinata Neji's slightly gloomy face. His frown showed that the young man was troubled.

"Sure enough, if you want to shake such a huge family with your own strength, you need a more sophisticated strategy, don't you think?"

The young man muttered to himself unconsciously. After waiting for a while, there was no answer. His heart moved. He raised his head and looked at the table on the side. The blond-haired red-skirted doll that was supposed to be ready to hit him at that moment was no longer there. .

Hinata Neji smiled bitterly when he realized that he had lost his composure.

These days, the young man who has become accustomed to getting along with Jin and talking to him from time to time is always looking forward to the other party giving some advice. Even if the harsh words are hard to hear, if you chew them carefully, they still make some sense.

Now, after the trip to the moon, there is no need for the two to be so closely connected.

"It turns out that I am not as strong as I thought, so adaptable to a lonely life!" 』

Hinata Neji, who gently took off the forehead protector and saw his face in the small mirror on the table, looked at the "Caged Bird" curse seal.

At first glance, it seemed that there was no difference from before, but after understanding what happened, the genius boy of the Hyuga family understood that the "caged bird" could no longer directly kill people. Although the curse seal was not completely released, the clan members could still sense it. Its movements will cause him pain. When necessary, Hyuga Neji also has secret techniques that can temporarily eliminate the interference of the "caged bird".

Daimaru cannot remove the cursed seal "Caged Bird" buried deep in Byakugan and his brain without disturbing anyone. The Otsutsuki clan has a way to completely solve it, but considering Hyuga Neji's situation, it is still It retains its appearance and some non-lethal functions.

"I can't cut myself off from the family. Even if the village protects me, once the "caged bird" is completely released, I can't affect the family from within!" 』

If the conservative and xenophobic Hyuga clan wants to impose order from the outside, it will only face a united counterattack. Only through internal disintegration and external pressure can the tradition of this faltering family be fundamentally shaken.

"I need foreign aid!" 』

Hyuga Neji had a clear understanding.

Daimaru and Suna Ninja are strong enough, but they are too far apart and have too many taboos.

His teammates and teachers are all excellent ninjas, but without strong backing support, they are not enough to serve as foreign aid.

There are only a handful of Konohagakure ninjas who have the strength to seduce the Hyuga family and the courage to do so. Unfortunately, Hyuga Neji doesn't have much friendship with them. With the help of the Hokage or the power of "Gen", he will fall into the dilemma of colluding with outsiders to attack his compatriots. , but the Kurama family, a powerful but small family that is outside the mainstream ninja clan in the village, is very suitable.

However, it is not easy to persuade Kurama Yakumo to help. The only way Hyuga Neji can think of is to achieve the goal in a roundabout way through Daimaru's relationship.

"I actually want to establish relations with the ninja clan of Konoha Village through Suna Ninja. It seems that in the past, except for ninjutsu training, I didn't do very well in other aspects!"

Hinata Neji, who laughed softly to himself, had a full understanding of how the adult world works and what he should do in the future.

Especially after seeing what a powerful ninja like Daimaru thinks about every day, after having a preliminary understanding, I felt ashamed that I was trapped in the family and could not extricate myself.

Three years ago, they were genin competing on the same stage. Three years later, they were no longer in the same world. Such a huge gap was really shocking.

There are also two female ninjas, Kurama Yakumo and Saya, whom I met last year. The pressure they put on me is also amazing.

Fortunately, through this risky transaction, Hyuga Neji finally gained the minimum strength to resist the family.

"The reincarnation eye..."

After knowing the secret of the Byakugan being able to be promoted after meeting the conditions just like the Sharingan, Hyuga Neji has more expectations for the future.

The power that is so powerful that it can destroy the world is so terrifying.

The young man couldn't help but turn on his white eyes, and the eyes in his eyes were unnaturally glowing with a faint blue light.

Ever since Daimaru used Senjutsu Chakra and the power of Yin-Yang Escape to stimulate his blood and find the location of the Earth-Moon Passage, Hyuga Neji felt that the Byakugan was different from before.

Just like the original path leading to a quiet place, a big train forced it to pass through it. Although the train is no longer there, the traces of its passing are still there.

Whenever he turned on his Byakugan, Hyuga Neji discovered that not only his original ability to see through, all angles, and long-distance perception had been greatly enhanced, but now he could even perceive the Hyuga clan members who were not too far away, or Byakugan to be exact, even without deliberately observing them. general trends.

For example, in the clan leader's bedroom now, Hinata Hinata is obviously still busy, Hinata Hanabi is tossing and turning on the bed, and Hinata Hinata has fallen asleep.

In the family mansion, several hidden piles hidden in the barrier were also discovered.

This is bloodline perception that transcends space, and is not the same as Byakugan's chakra perception.

Benefiting from such a huge change, Hyuga Neji felt that his soft fist power would definitely reach a higher level.

Just when Hyuga Neji was still thinking carefully, a turbulence in time and space aroused, and Hibiscus, who had been remembered just now, appeared.

"As expected, you haven't rested yet. Just in time, this is for you..."

The doll that was talking threw a dark irregular ball over, and Hinata Neji caught it.

"What's this?"

It has a metallic glow and feels like wood, but its weight is very light.

"I will personally give it to you as a benefit for your cooperation during this period..."

"Are you making your own decisions?"

"How is that possible? It's my intention. Father knows it, but he doesn't stop it. It's considered acquiescence..."

Fine!

As long as it's not something that requires too much cost.

After looking at it for a while, Hinata Neji, who didn't find how to use it, asked:

"How do I use it?"

"Just swallow it..."

"So big?"

Hinata Neji looked embarrassed.

This big thing, which is almost half the size of a head and cannot be held with one hand, is something that can be swallowed after being knocked hard.

This is not enough to choke people to death!

"Just kidding, it will be easier if you swallow it..."

Jin replied with a smile,

"Personal collection, when you practice, it will automatically change its form and merge with you. It is a more practical puppet weapon, especially for you..."

"for me?"

Hinata Neji was stunned;

"Soft Fist or White Eyes?"

Jin waved her little hands,

"This is your innate talent. If you need my guidance on both White Eyes and Rou Quan, then you, a 'genius', are too inferior..."

After a pause, Jin continued to explain:

"This thing was made in my spare time, and it is well received by my father. Its function is similar to adding a regulator to the body's cells. It can provide appropriate compensation when physical strength and chakra are severely overdrawn..."

"This... is an auxiliary tool that can explode at critical moments?"

"Don't think about using it to fight all the time..."

Jin warned,

"Have you never thought that this is a useful tool for cultivation? Especially for a so-called 'genius' like you who is a master of physical skills and is only one step away from cultivating the 'Eight Doors Dunjia'?"

"Wait, you mean..."

Hinata Neji's heart lit up after being reminded.

Metkai taught the eight-door Dunjia practice to three students. Tiantian and Hyuga Neji failed to practice it, and only Rock Lee succeeded.

The reason is not that Hinata Neji doesn't work hard enough, but that there is indeed a difference in physique. It is not easy to gather the strength of the whole body to break the restrictions of the chakra on the chakra meridians in the body and gain powerful power instantly.

If this possessed puppet weapon is used as a trump card to explode seeds at critical moments, it is not impossible, but it is too wasteful.

If you can let it give you a push when practicing Eight Door Dunjia, the success rate will undoubtedly be much higher.

"Li Lianhua dare not say, but Piao Lianhua who opens the door should have great hope of success..."

There will be a second time after the first time. When Hyuga Neji becomes more and more proficient in opening the Eight Gate Dungeon, this thing will not be of much use.

Precisely because its upper limit is too low, it is just a puppet weapon of low value and is only useful in the hands of certain people.

"Why would you make such a thing? This is obviously customized for taijutsu ninjas..."

Hyuga Neji asked confused.

"It was just an accident! In fact, I just wanted to make a comprehensive parasitic armor similar to 'Poison', but unfortunately the technology is not up to par, so this is the only way..."

Jin replied with some embarrassment,

"Mother is a little disappointed, but father is very interested. He feels that this 'Seven-day Breathing Technique' combined with Ziluo may improve the efficiency of practice and allow more people with poor qualifications to embark on the path of taijutsu ninja... "

"So, how does it actually work?"

"I haven't tried it yet. Isn't this the first thing that reminds me of you?"

After fussing for a long time, it turned out that the new model of puppet needed a "volunteer" to try out the effect.

Hyuga Neji, who originally thought that Jin was kind-hearted, suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

"I know! Maybe it's really useful to me..."

"That's right. I won't trick you. During this period of time, we have developed a friendship. Don't take this small favor to heart..."

For the current Hyuga Neji, the biggest problem is that his physical strength and chakra limit his development. Even though he is only about sixteen years old, there is still room for growth, but it is limited.

His perception is excellent, but there is no possibility of practicing the sage mode. Byakugan's promotion still needs to be slowly explored. He is proficient in physical skills and can only tap his potential in this field.

Eight Gates Dunjia is a forbidden technique that can theoretically maximize the body's potential. Even if it only lowers the threshold a little, it is still a great thing.

"If you succeed in the future, I owe you a favor..."

"It's easy to say, we Sand Ninja and you Konoha Ninja are also allies who share weal and woe, and there will be many opportunities to fight side by side in the future! Next, just tell me your training insights and let me adjust them to the best state... "

Hinata Neji had no reason to refuse things that were mutually beneficial.

If you can really master the power of the Eight Gate Dungeon, even if you just open the door, it will be a huge improvement for Hyuga Neji.

Regardless of whether it is the Byakugan or the Reincarnation Eye, no matter how powerful the bloodline secret technique is, it requires a huge amount of chakra to support it. With a solid foundation, the road to the future will be smoother.
