Chapter 1025 Troubles

The joy of the new year has passed for some time. From mid-February to early March, the entire ninja world suddenly experienced a rare late spring cold.

The plum blossom season is coming to an end, and the peach blossoms are about to bloom, but a rain or snowstorm interrupts everything.

Falling petals flowed everywhere along the cold snow. Such an unusual scene cast a shadow over people who were looking forward to a new year.

Farmers who had delayed the sowing period of their crops had to spend money to invite ninjas to help. It was a natural disaster and a drastic change in man-made disasters. On the contrary, the amount of D-level and C-level tasks in Konoha Village increased sharply. The children who had just become genin, Being overwhelmed by endless trivial tasks.

In the village theater, various plays such as "The Tale of Bamboo" and later "The Legend of Urashima Taro Ryugu" and "Momotaro" are very popular. Even the mediocre works tailor-made by Kurama Yakumo are also popular. It has received a lot of attention, and even though it has gained a lot of popularity, it is not a complete failure.

With the Kurama family's massive investment, the few remaining clan members have re-entered the mainstream of Konoha. This once marginalized ninja clan is showing signs of re-emergence.

As the core of the family, Kurama Yakumo is naturally the focus of attention.

After being in the limelight in last year's Joint Chuunin Examination, he did not take advantage of the situation to expand his influence. Instead, he kept a low profile and only promoted his reputation among lower-level civilian ninjas and the world. This is really incomprehensible.

Fortunately, starting this year, the situation has changed. Kurama Yakumo has also begun to appear frequently in the village. Following the promotion of Hyuga Neji, he was the first to obtain the Jonin qualification.

With the defection of Uchiha Sasuke, who was in the limelight two years ago, and there is no news, Konoha Village really needs to support one or two young talents to support the scene.

Kurama Yakumo, who has the closest connection to Suna Ninja on the surface, has become a well-known inspirational model with the tacit approval of all parties.

Unfortunately, both Kurama Yakumo and Hinata Neji are both children of the ninja clan. They have extremely powerful blood inheritance limits, and their family inheritance cannot be compared with that of ordinary ninjas.

Therefore, in an era when grassroots rise and civilian ninjas gradually gain the right to speak, it always seems to lack some meaning.

In the past, all kinds of gossip would have been flying all over the place. Unfortunately, the two of them didn't have a very wide social circle and had little contact with each other. They didn't know where to start by hyping up the scandal or arranging a resounding title.

As Hyuga Neji consciously kept a low profile and Kurama Yakumo became obsessed with laboratory research, the heat naturally dropped a lot.

However, Kashiwagi, who often appears next to Kurama Yakumo, has gained a lot of presence, especially after everyone learned that most of the music in the puppet show is her work, and the number of puppets who are good at playing the ocarina has gradually increased. gained considerable popularity.

In the warm and cold breeze, the snow in Konoha Village has almost melted, and the music played by the small shops on the street to attract customers has also been replaced by the familiar "Original Scenery of Hometown" that I don't know when. It is also suitable for the occasion.

On a clear morning, Hinata Neji walked through the streets and calmly arrived at the sparsely populated training ground.

The genius boy of the Hyuga family who once again started the practice of Eight Gate Dunjia, gradually discovered the power of the parasitic puppet that Jin gave him as he overexhausted his body again and again.

Only with a strong enough body and gathering all the strength of the whole body can one use the Eight Door Dunjia Formation.

But the prerequisite for successful practice is to open the eight doors to the body's restrictions under extreme fatigue. When exhausted, it is difficult to persist without falling, let alone have the strength to break through the eight gates.

This is a paradox that is difficult to solve. When the body is in good condition, it is not the time to open the door. The body is overdrawn and the eight doors are loose, but there is not enough physical strength and chakra.

On the one hand, the threshold for practicing Eight Gate Dunjia is too high. Having a strong will, enough to achieve transcendent feats when the oil is exhausted, is the key to opening the door.

Therefore, you can imagine how important it is to have a parasitic puppet that plays a balancing role and give a push at a critical moment.

Recently, I feel more and more that I am not far away from "opening the door" and the time to achieve the Lotus Flower is getting closer and closer. Hyuga Neji can't help but feel happy in his heart.

Maybe it will be the next training, maybe if you persist for another month, you will definitely succeed, Hyuga Neji firmly believed it.

Jin, who was always paying attention to its movements, also gained a lot.

"As expected of a genius who is highly praised by my father, the control group in Sunagakure Village who are practicing simultaneously are progressing much slower. Even if they are the best selected from tens of thousands of people, they still don't have the talent to compare with Hyuga Neji. 』

It is really difficult to surpass a genius who works hard, even following his back is extremely difficult.

Seeing his sweaty hair and the evaporated sweat on his body condensed into unpleasant-smelling water vapor or even ice mist under the influence of cold air, the well-informed Hibiscus couldn't help but sigh.

After the tips of his hair and corners of his eyebrows were covered with a little white frost, Hinata Neji finished today's practice, wiped the water mist and small ice crystals from his body, and ate some dry food with hot tea.

"Are you here?"

Facing the deserted place, Hinata Neji asked,

"Is this widespread snowstorm because of your plan? Since I can remember, there has never been such a severe spring cold..."

Hina, who had disappeared behind the scenes, appeared, crossed the water-stained area, stood opposite Hyuga Neji, and replied:

"It has some influence, but it is not the main reason! This year's climate was already a bit abnormal, but our 'plan' made this change appear more drastic..."

Countries close to the north are fine, but the situation in the Greater Bay Area in the south is even more exaggerated. In just half a month, three tropical storms made landfall. After the raging, the white dew turned into frost, and little snowflakes fell, leaving many old people who had never seen snow in their lives. They were all surprised.

For Suna Ninja, the biggest trouble is that it makes the sea, land and air transportation lines more risky, which increases a lot of operating costs.

Further away, in the Kingdom of Water and the Kingdom of Thunder, I heard that this year’s seasonal salmon migration was not normal. Many giant bears waiting at the river’s strategic points were starving and thinning, one after another. The invasion of deep-sea cold water masses has also caused heavy losses to major offshore fishing grounds.

Even though Daimaru had predicted that weather changes in a short period of time would have some adverse effects, he still underestimated the importance of the moon's existence.

It's not that it won't work without it, but the entire ninja world needs a period of time to adjust and reach a new balance before it can stabilize.

Since the sun is not bright today, you can still vaguely see the shadow of the moon hanging in the sky in the northwest corner.

However, Hyuga Neji knew that there was just a false illusion supported by a giant reincarnation eye.

The real moon has long been taken away.

"It really doesn't matter if such a big moon is placed directly in the ninja world?"

Jin waved his hands and said with a smile:

"An Xin, those things that originally belonged to the ninja world, just let them return..."

"return?"

Hinata Neji frowned;

"What do you mean?"

"Wait until you can open the Eight Gates or possess the Reincarnation Eye before you explain. Now you can't keep that secret..."

"That's right! I know!"

Hinata Neji, who had expected it, understood.

The two parties, who are barely collaborators, must share information. If I don't talk about it now, there must be a reason.

Thinking of this, Hyuga Neji couldn't help but curiously asked:

"So what do you think about the 'Quick Rescue Team' and the 'Sniper Team'? According to the strength you have shown, those guys have no strength to threaten the entire ninja world. Only the S-class rebel ninjas organized by the 'Akatsuki' organization have some It looks good, but under the encirclement and suppression of the entire ninja world, we can't make trouble..."

If you were still a little wary about the "Senior Eye" before, after seeing the giant reincarnation eye, which can reach heaven and earth, and is almost omnipotent, but was still defeated by Daimaru and several masters, Hyuga Neji faced off against the establishment of Ninja. The necessity of the Allied Forces was doubted.

"What kind of opponent deserves to be treated so seriously by you?"

"Any master beyond imagination does not appear out of thin air..."

After thinking about it for a while, Jin decided to reveal a little secret to prevent Hyuga Neji from accidentally making a mistake.

"The Samsara Eye is not scary. We are more concerned about the reason for its appearance. What threatens the entire ninja world is never a powerful ninja or a blood successor, but the unknown..."

"I... don't quite understand. Ninjas do need enough intelligence support, but is it necessary to be afraid to this extent?"

"This is different!"

Jin warned seriously,

"The five major ninja villages are the rulers of the ninja world. In theory, no secret can be hidden from us at the pinnacle of power. But in fact, there is such a powerful rebel ninja organization that has been lurking under our noses for so many years. This Is it normal?"

The only explanation for this situation is that there are traitors in the five great ninja villages, secretly sheltering and supporting the "Akatsuki" organization.

"The only people who can hide it from us are the five great ninja villages themselves. Of course, there is another situation, that is, there is a mastermind behind the scenes who is stronger and more terrifying than us. If nothing else, just like Toneri Otsutsuki And the moon, have you ever thought that there would be an existence hanging in the sky that could destroy the ninja world at any time?"

"I probably understand what you mean! The strength shown by the 'Akatsuki' organization has not actually reached the point where the entire ninja world is trying to encircle and suppress it, but there may be other enemies behind it!"

This is also the reason why it is difficult for the five major ninja villages to reach an agreement and form a ninja alliance.

The Third Tsuchikage and Onoki were convinced, but the Fourth Raikage may still suspect that the existence of the "Akatsuki" organization is a bait thrown by Konoha Village, Sunagakure Village, and Kirigakure Village. After all, those S who were singled out Most of the high-level rebel ninjas were ninjas from three ninja villages.

The complicated containment relationship and the vague distrust are all troubles that hinder the further cooperation of the five ninja villages.

"So what do we do?"

Jin replied:

"Wait! Sooner or later, the thread of fate will reveal the story that should happen one by one. The most important protagonist has not yet arrived..."

Just as he was talking, Jin suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the gate of Konoha Village.

"We actually came back more than a month earlier than expected. Fortunately, we acted early and didn't alert them..."

"them?"

Hinata Neji asked.

"You'll know when you get back."

A somewhat surprised Jin said,

"The most important protagonist is ready. It seems that our preparations have to be arranged in advance..."

After resting for a while, Hinata Neji, who had recovered a lot of strength and chakra, silently opened his Byakugan, and saw the white-haired Jiraiya in the distance walking into the gate of Konoha Village with a familiar figure with blond hair.

"Is it him? He finally returned from his studies..."

"You were defeated by him before. Do you want to take this opportunity to challenge and regain some face? Before you reveal your four tails, you should still have a chance of winning..."

"forget it!"

After thinking about it for a while, Hinata Neji gave up the temporary dispute and said,

"If he is what you call the 'child of destiny', it seems that a magnificent era is about to begin. We still have to seize the time and do everything possible to improve our strength."

"You're right, but you don't need to be overly cautious. A teenager who has been more than ten years old always has an old-fashioned style, which is a bit bad. It doesn't hurt to be a little arrogant occasionally..."

Jin, who was encouraging with a smile, took out a pair of thin white gloves. Judging from the texture, they looked like leather, but lacked toughness.

"Take it! This is a boxing glove made from scraps I saved. It should be helpful to you..."

Without delaying, he took it and put it on boldly, tried the feel, and nodded with satisfaction, Hinata Neji said:

"It's very light, and the chakra transmission efficiency is extremely high. It's a treasure! Why did you give me a gift for no reason?"

"A small signal source, without the ability to actively connect to the grid, can play the role of sending and receiving signals. I give you this to prepare for one day in the future. When you encounter an invincible opponent and are in a life-or-death crisis, you can Call for help through it, if there is a 'relay station' level puppet nearby..."

"Understood!"

Hinata Neji no longer cares about more questions. Anyway, the answer is either that the time has not come yet or that he is not strong enough to understand.

"Thank you very much for your practice data today. It helped me a lot. See you tomorrow!"

Today's routine was over, and Jin, who still had a lot of work to finish when he returned, stopped greetings, said goodbye and left. Hyuga Neji stood up, dusted himself off, and prepared to go home to fulfill his duties as a sparring partner for the eldest daughter of the clan.

Returning to his long-lost hometown, he saw a village that was even more prosperous than before. Naruto Uzumaki stood on the top of a telephone pole and observed the streets that had changed a lot.

The young man who became much stronger also grew taller and looked much stronger.

After parting ways with Jiraiya, Uzumaki Naruto, who was eager to find an acquaintance to catch up with, jumped down from a high place and walked on the somewhat unfamiliar streets.

There was probably no one at home where he could go back. It would be great if he could meet his teammate Sakura Haruno and his teacher Kakashi Hatake first. However, his worry about gains and losses made him hesitate, so he wandered in the noisy streets.

On the other side, the information about Jiraiya's return to the village also fell into the eyes of many interested people, including of course the "Akatsuki" organization spies who had been waiting for a long time.
