People in Konoha, starting with a Sen Sen fruit

The old man talked about this and that and tried to test the waters for a long time.

He kept talking about the will of fire, as if he completely regarded Rikuto as his future successor, as if as long as he grew up, he would naturally become the next Hokage.

But the people on the mainland just wouldn't listen.

Let’s not talk about whether the Third Hokage had such thoughts.

Even if they really wanted to train him as the successor to Hokage, he had absolutely no interest in it.

The position of Hokage.

He always kept his distance.

Isn’t it great to be free and unrestrained?

What's the good of being tied up in an office reviewing documents all day long, and not having time to rest until midnight?

He just needs the Hokage to be "one of his own".

and so.

He refused in a few words.

Lu Ren quickly said goodbye and left.

……

Seeing that Xiurihong did not come back.

Lu Ren was too lazy to go back and disturb Xianglin and her daughter who had just reunited.

Walking aimlessly.

Before we knew it, we arrived in the suburbs.

"Soft Fist Technique·Eight Trigrams…Sixteen Palms!"

"Bang... bang..."

Far away.

A thin figure wearing training clothes and a gray cloth tied on his head.

There, his figure moved swiftly, and his bandaged hands turned into an afterimage.

He kept hitting the wooden stakes in front of him.

It turned out to be the classmate whom I hadn't seen for two years - Hyuga Neji.

"Huh...huh..."

Although I never looked back.

But Hyuga Neji, who was gasping for breath there, had veins bulging at the corners of his eyes, and his white gaze was captivating.

"Lu Ren!?" His pupils shrank subconsciously.

Relying on the Hyuga clan's 360-degree vision, he can ignore obstacles and see through everything.

He noticed Lu Ren directly.

And, from that somewhat familiar appearance, I recognized the other person.

But the opponent's chakra meridian system has an incredibly huge amount of chakra.

He couldn't help but have his pupils shrink, and he couldn't believe it.

"Ok?"

Looking at the familiar figure in front.

Lu Ren raised his eyebrows, also a little surprised.

Greeting with a smile: "Hey, Neji, long time no see..."

He had been walking aimlessly, enjoying the scenery he hadn't seen for two years.

The perception ability is not turned on all the time.

It's too tiring to live like that.

"You're back?"

Neji was surprised.

He naturally knew that the person in front of him had already been accepted as a disciple by the legendary Three Ninjas, "Princess of Konoha" Tsunade.

In the past two years, Lu Ren has been practicing with the other party outside.

"Yeah, I just came back..."

Looking at the faint traces of blood seeping out of Hyuga Neji's bandage.

Lu Ren couldn't help but exclaimed: "You really work hard... You can actually send out sixteen palms in an instant, you really deserve to be the genius of the Hyuga family!"

· ··Request flowers·· ·····

Although Xiao Li did work very hard.

But it must be said that even if Neji's efforts are not as good as Rock Lee's, they are not much worse.

Behind the title of genius, there are also countless blood, sweat and hard work.

"Humph, compared to you, I'm far behind..."

Although they had not fought, Neji could analyze the huge gap between the two just from the huge amount of chakra.

There was no thought of challenging the other party at all.

Maybe this is fate.

Some people are destined to be the kind of true geniuses who are rare in the world, shining brightly, and made countless people look up to them.

Some people, no matter how hard they try, are ultimately just ordinary geniuses in people's eyes and cannot escape their tragic fate.

Some people, no matter how hard they try or how unwilling they are to give up, cannot change their mediocre talents and are destined to always be the last one in the class.

0...0

Think of this.

Neji couldn't help but clench his fists.

He always talks about fate.

It was precisely the expression of his unwillingness to succumb to fate.

It is obvious that in the Hyuga clan, his talent is not inferior to anyone else.

Even far surpassing the cowardly and mediocre eldest daughter of the Zong family.

It just so happens that the other party was born into a clan, has a high status and is respected.

However, I, whose gifts and abilities are far superior to his, was born into a separate family.

Even life and death are controlled by others, and one is born to protect the clan.

He claims to be a member of the Hyuga family, but he is actually just a servant enslaved by the main family.

There is no way to escape that sad fate forever.

"Are you unhappy with your fate?"

Lu Ren understood.

He was naturally very clear about Hyuga Neji's affairs.

I have to say that Hyuga Neji's father, Hyuga Hizashi, was indeed unlucky.

He was born just one or two minutes later than his twin brother, Hinata Hiashi.

But the fate of the two people is very different.

One is the respected head of the Hyuga clan who holds a high status.

A member of a branch family who has been cursed with the caged bird since childhood, and whose life and death are always controlled by the main family.

Even Hyuga Neji himself was ruthlessly cursed with the caged bird seal when he was four years old and could not escape the fate of the branch family.

That’s all.

The key point is that when Neji was four years old, he was carved into a caged bird not long ago.

For some reason, his father looked exactly like his elder brother Hyuga Hiashi, so he died as a branch family instead of Hyuga Hiashi, the head of the main family.

Became a pitiful victim.

This made him hate the clan and his own fate to the extreme.

Chapter 4: Xiao Li becomes a disciple? The miraculous operation of Konoha F

"Alas……"

The breeze blows.

On the empty grass.

The two people who hadn't seen each other for a long time sat there and chatted.

I heard that Lu Ren had experienced so much outside in the past two years.

In comparison, I can only stay in the not-so-big village of Konoha, like a frog in a well, looking at the world from the bottom of the well.

Hyuga Neji was even more envious.

"Oh? Was Rock Lee accepted as a disciple by the senior ninja Might Guy?" When Lu Ren heard Ningci say that Rock Lee actually became a disciple of the senior ninja Might Guy, he was a little surprised.

He didn't expect that Xiao Li, who was supposed to be accepted as a disciple by Might Guy after graduation.

He unexpectedly gained the recognition of the senior ninja Might Guy in advance and became his disciple.

"It's all because of you, Rikuto. When you came back last time, you mentioned to him that Konoha's Jonin Might Guy is a strong man who is not good at ninjutsu and specializes in taijutsu..."

Hyuga Neji spread his hands helplessly.

Recalling the ups and downs of Xiao Li's apprenticeship, he sighed: "When that kid saw that you were accepted as a disciple by the three ninjas, he immediately put all his efforts into it. He asked around for the residence of Might Guy, knelt at his door for three days and three nights, and finally followed Might Guy for exaggerated training, and never gave up for three whole months!" "Zero Six Zero"

"In the end, even the jonin Might Guy was moved by his sincerity and accepted him as his disciple!"

Only that stubborn young man can persevere.

If it were him, to be honest, he would have given up long ago.

After all, Neji knew it very well.

His own pride.

It made him unwilling to beg others so humbly.

Even if he lives a mediocre life, he still has his own persistence.

“…” Lu Ren was speechless.

He didn't expect that he had just mentioned it casually at the time.

Xiao Li actually mustered up the courage to shamelessly ask Might Guy to be his disciple.

And, it was successful.

However, just from what Neji said.

He could feel the hardships and challenges involved.

If it were him, he would ask himself whether he could do it as well as Xiao Li.

Perhaps, it is because I have not been a genius since childhood that I am called the last one.

That’s why I don’t have that kind of arrogance, and I can grit my teeth and persist in doing anything I have decided to do.

Even if it means begging humbly.

"brush……"

The light on his hands faded.

Rikuto healed Neji a little.

His hands are covered with scars from years of exercise.
