After the dinner, several genin also said goodbye and left. Only Hyuga Neji was stopped by Shikamaru when he stood up to leave.
Several genin looked at each other one after another. Although they were confused, seeing that Shikamaru was not prepared to talk more, they all got up and left.
After Hinata Neji saw Shikamaru calling him, he lowered his head to drink tea with a lukewarm expression. After a slight hesitation, he sat down again.
Although the two did not know each other for many days, and were not as close as Shikamaru, Chouji, Ino, and even Inuzuka Kiba and Aburame Shino, Shikamaru's performance in the Chunin Exam also made Hyuga Neji feel...
With admiration, he knew very well that if he faced Gaara, he would not be able to turn the tide like Shikamaru, distract Shukaku by himself, or even defeat the opponent with the help of others.
"Thank you for the gift. It's of great use to me." Seeing that the other genin had left, Shikamaru put down the tea cup and said to Hyuga Neji.
Doctors' killing skills are often better than those of many soldiers, because they understand the structure of the human body better and understand where it is more vulnerable, but even so, they are still not as good as Hinata, who has "white eyes" and has the ability to "see through"
A clan.
Because of the damage method of Soft Fist, the Hyuga clan has been constantly exploring and perfecting the structure of the human body for several generations, and using it to create striking routines.
Although Shikamaru cannot use Soft Fist, and this set of body diagrams is not as effective for him as it is for the ninjas of the Hyuga clan, he can also use medical ninjutsu. Even if he does not take the path of medical ninja in the future, he will have one more skill next to him.
Body is not a bad thing either.
"My mission is not short. A lot of things must have happened in the village during this time?" Shikamaru looked at the silent Hinata Neji and continued: "I think you were in a bad mood before.
?Perhaps you can tell me about the recent situation?"
Hyuga Neji looked at Shikamaru in surprise, who was pretending to have a heart-to-heart talk, but his relationship with Shikamaru was not close to heart-to-heart yet, so he just shook his head indifferently.
Shikamaru was not discouraged when he saw Hinata Neji's attitude. He was not a strong man with an aura of his own. He could make people speak their minds without any precautions in just a few words. Because of this, he could not even talk about setbacks.
And with anger and embarrassment, his years of practice and training were wasted.
"Forget it, then come with me for a walk!" Shikamaru greeted Hinata Neji and pulled him to the street regardless of his attitude.
Looking at Konoha Village from a high altitude, there are only three buildings that people can notice at first sight.
The first natural thing is the Hokage Rock located on the back of the mountain. The heads of the past Hokages are carved from huge rocks, as if they are quietly gazing at the Leaf Village.
The second is the building under the Hokage Rock. The building with fiery red as its main color is like a dancing flame, radiating its heat in a fan shape, illuminating the entire village.
As for the third one, it is the avenue where Shikamaru and Hyuga Neji are located. This wide street starts from the Hokage Building and leads straight to the gate of Konoha. It neatly divides the Konoha Village into two halves, making any
When people enter the Konoha Village gate, they can first see the statue standing high.
Just like the gods who guard the village, they silently watch anyone who comes, whether they are friends... or enemies.
Although the villagers of Konoha can see this uncanny sculpture every day, few of them feel bored or bored. Even in this world with magical ninjutsu, such works are rare. This is not only the production of
Itself, only within the powerful organization of Konoha Village can the war not spread here and destroy the works.
This is the foundation of a powerful organization.
What's more, the education in Konoha Village has always been successful, especially for ninjas, who have a strong sense of belonging to the village. Ordinary people who regard ninjas as the benchmark are affected by this, and subtly, this leads to the ownership of Konoha Village.
Such centripetal force.
"I've heard about your father." Shikamaru, who squinted at the Hokage Rock, suddenly said.
Hyuga Neji had been observing the seemingly leisurely Shikamaru, but unexpectedly the other man suddenly spoke and told him what had concerned him the most over the years.
"It's very admirable, but also very regrettable." Shikamaru seemed not to see Hinata Neji's uncertain face, and continued: "He saved Konoha Village from war and saved the lives of many ninjas. With this
It is indeed a pity that such a spirited ninja passed away quietly."
As Shikamaru spoke, he turned around and looked directly into Hinata Neji's eyes calmly. What he said was indeed from the bottom of his heart.
"Can you talk to me about what Hizu-san said to you?" Shikamaru suddenly asked.
How did he know!?
Hinata Neji frowned inconspicuously, but this naturally could not be hidden from Shikamaru, who had been paying close attention to his expression.
"It seems that my guess is correct." Shikamaru turned around and said as he continued walking towards the bottom of Hokage Rock.
Hinata Neji was told by Shikamaru that he had no intention of leaving. After hesitating for a moment, he still caught up with Shikamaru.
"The clan leader told me the words and scenes when my father died, and he also gave me the last words my father left." Hyuga Neji spoke, and Shikamaru noticed that his tone towards Hinata Hizashi was no longer as rude as before.
, obviously the efforts of the head of the Hyuga clan to win over were not in vain.
"Can you tell me in detail? I want to hear about your father's deeds." Shikamaru said softly, with a solemn expression, tilted his head slightly, and stopped to look like he was listening carefully. This attitude has already expressed his respect for Hinata.
Poor respect attitude.
When Hyuga Neji saw Shikamaru's attitude, he no longer resisted and slowly recounted what Hinata Hizashi said at that time.
Hinata Hizashi's words are actually similar to the original work. Although there are some changes, the central meaning is not convenient and it is nothing more than a soft policy.
Shikamaru listened quietly and kept thinking in his mind.
Just seeing it as a story and experiencing it yourself are two completely different things. To put it at the extreme, many people who like horror movies would not like to participate in it personally, because the former is just an outsider's experience, while the latter is about people.
itself, cannot be compared.
Shikamaru's previous life and his current attitude towards the world of Naruto are also different. When he came to this world, he truly lived, breathed the fresh air, felt the withering of life, and saw those living and different ninjas.
He already understood that this was no longer a simple story for him, it was a world, and he himself was involved in it.
Therefore, an insignificant event might have been ignored in the previous life, but now, Shikamaru would think about the meaning behind any event.
Shikamaru noticed that Hinata and Hinata were different from the original this time, and finally knelt down to Hinata Neji.
It had been nearly ten years since Hyuga Hizashi's death, and it was not until after the Chunin Exams that Hyuga Neji was informed of the truth and a suicide note was produced. In fact, even Hyuga Neji himself was confused!
Maybe Hyuga Hizashi himself can favor Hyuga Neji because of Hizashi's death. This may be the reason why Hyuga Neji has not encountered provocation from the Hyuga clan until now. But in the final analysis, as the head of the Hyuga clan, the interests of the family and the clan's interests are
Representative, that's all Hinata and Hinata can do.
If Hyuga Neji didn't perform as well as in the Chuunin Examination in the original work.
Even if the amazingly talented Hinata Neji loses to Uzumaki Naruto, people will still not feel slighted at all, especially Hinata Hizashi who is proficient in soft fist.
But what frightens people is not only his talent, but also his deep-seated hatred for the clan and the Hyuga clan.
This is a boy who can make the Hyuga clan prosper. This was probably the thought that kept echoing in Hinata and Hinata's mind at that time.
As the head of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hizashi did not immediately think of killing Hyuuga Neji, which was considered to be a reminder of Hyuuga Hizashi's kindness.
Of course, now Hyuga Neji does not have the opportunity to show off his amazing talents like in the original work, but the acupuncture skills revealed are already rare. Hyuga Hizashi hesitated again and again, but still did not want Hyuga Neji to take the road of opposition to the Hyuga clan, so he came forward.
Win over.
Shikamaru didn't know what Hinata and Hinata were thinking, but that didn't stop Shikamaru from thinking about him.
This is not a prejudice, it is just the most fundamental assessment of the respective positions, interests and classes they represent.
Hyuga Rizu represents the interests of the Hyuga clan and clan. He himself is the beneficiary of this system. He will not think of destroying it at all, but will try his best to maintain it. For him, this kind of behavior has nothing to do with good or evil.
, it is an instinct.
They will deceive others to protect their own interests and speak sweet words to the victims of the system.
The so-called "protecting the bloodline of the Hyuga family" is nonsense. In this case, Hyuga Hinata should become a branch family, and the more talented Hyuga Neji should become the main family. Only those who are capable can take over. This is development.
The foundation of strengthening the Hyuga family, so this statement is nothing more than a shameless excuse to protect the beneficiaries who have now been included in the clan class.
Hyuga Neji is able to tolerate hatred and resistance to this system all the time, and rarely cares about showing such emotions. Hyuga Neji, who has considerable talent for so long, can be regarded as having a "conscience".
"..., your father's spirit is admirable." After a long time, after listening to Hyuga Neji's words, Shikamaru lowered his eyelids and said softly. He spoke sincerely and from the heart.
"Yes, my father chose to sacrifice himself for the family, the patriarch, and for the Leaf Village." Hyuga Neji breathed a sigh of relief and said sadly: "I will never be as good as my father. He is a great man.
The ninja."
"What you said only makes me regretful, not what makes me admire." Unexpectedly, after hearing what Hinata Neji said, Shikamaru commented slightly coldly.
