What needs to be started next is a long negotiation. It can be said that Dodai did not really give up his intention after visiting the Iwagakure mission and returned. Anyway, the talks between the Three Kingdoms have just begun, even if Konoha wants to be completely divided.
The two sides are negotiating at different levels, but Dodai has his own way to leverage his strength, and the specific results will depend on what happens next. The division of labor between the three of the Iwa Ninjas, Loess, Shoji, and Akato, is also very clear.
Huang Tu is responsible for the main negotiations, and Chi Tu serves as a supplementary staff.
The most important general seems to be the deputy leader on the surface, but he will basically not participate in the negotiations. In the first few days, the general will show off to make Konoha feel that he is also the main negotiator.
Here the focus shifts entirely to the collection of information and checking out points.
No matter how difficult the negotiations are, no matter how tumultuous they are, they cannot really last for a month. Ten days and a half is a normal period of time, and the general's own actions must be finalized within this time.
Fortunately, the information that needs to be collected is not that difficult, and there are still high-level spies who have been lurking in Konoha Hidden Village. Although these people cannot detect deeper confidential information, the whereabouts of some people can still be grasped relatively accurately.
Come down.
Including Hyuga Hizashi, whom Shoji needs to be most concerned about, and Hinata Hizashi’s only son—Hyuga Neji!
The former was almost a simple person after the Kumo Ninja incident, and seemed to stay in the main house of his clan for a long time without leaving the house. The latter often visited the clan's residence, and the location was very clear, it was close to the west of the Hyuga clan's residence.
In a flat training ground somewhere to the side.
In addition, we also collected part of the daily patrol and garrison information of Konoha ninjas. Some of it relied on senior spies lurking in Konoha Hidden Village, and some of it was collected by Shoji himself through investigation.
It must be said that in this mission negotiation, the security level of Konoha Hidden Village was at least two or three levels higher than the previous one. This can still be detected and sensed by the general, including some Anbu privately.
The configuration, the establishment of barriers, etc. are not something Shoji can accurately grasp, but those are not what Shoji needs to care about now, and he has no intention of sneaking into areas where Konoha's high-level secrets are located!
Only after confirming the above information.
Then it was the evening of the fourth day after arriving at Konoha Hidden Village.
It was also the moment when the negotiation between the three major ninja villages reached its most intense stage. Shoji sneaked out of his hotel without arousing the vigilance and attention of any Konoha ninja around him, including those monitoring the Hyuga clan jounin.
After all, it's still some distance away, and it's not in full surveillance mode yet.
After spending three days, the general went in and out several times during the day, and after repeated confirmations, he found an obvious gap, escaped the detection of a pair of supercilious eyes, left the hotel area, then detoured for a distance, and then headed all the way towards
Move quickly away from your target area.
Konoha Hidden Village, the third training ground on the west side, this is an ordinary training ground without any dangerous factors established by Konoha Hidden Village. It is characterized by flatness and width, with some forests and rivers, most of which are
The purpose of the plain is to facilitate the ninjas in Konoha Hidden Village to undergo various trainings.
Someone once said that Konoha Hidden Village is not big, and only hundreds of thousands of people can support it to death. In fact, this is not the case. You must know that the number of ninjas in Konoha Hidden Village is usually maintained at more than 20,000, and there are a large number of them.
Most ninjas have families. With the development over the years, not to mention too many, the total population of Konoha Hidden Village, or even the five hidden villages, will be hundreds of thousands, which is approximately
In Shoji's previous life, it was a slightly densely populated county town. Even if you look at it this way, Konoha is actually not very big. But if you include the numerous training venues, the size of Konoha Hidden Village is definitely
It is comparable to a prosperous second-tier or even first-tier metropolis in the previous life!
Of course, this is only talking about the floor space.
The Forest of Death training ground that many fans are familiar with in the original book already occupies a very large area, but there are at least seven or eight similar training grounds in Konoha, plus some special venues.
Hidden Leaf Village is really big!
The same applies to the other four major ninja villages.
But in any case, in such a world, the area where hundreds of thousands of people live is already relatively large. When it is necessary to deliberately conceal his whereabouts and aura, Jiang Si's speed is not very fast.
And we have to take a long detour to avoid the area with the largest number of ninjas in Konoha. Although there is a high probability that we will not be discovered, we are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Besides, we have enough time, so Shoji does not need it at all.
Worry.
After spending more than half an hour, Shoji finally arrived at his destination. With almost no effort, Shoji easily found the target person he was looking for - Hinata in Konoha's spacious third training ground.
Neji!,
This is the only one of the twelve little heroes in the original work who is no less tragic than Naruto and Sasuke, the two true protagonists of the genius boy. At this moment, he is just a four-year-old child. General Si quietly came to this place.
Position next to a young child at all times.
Neji was beating the wooden stake in front of him with a stubborn look on his face, and from that immature figure, Shoji could clearly see the endless resentment and sadness exuding from this little boy.
"Peng!"
"Peng!"
Even if the world of ninjas is a premature one.
Many children have to engage in exclusive ninja training since they are three or four years old. This is especially true for Ningji, who is a child of the Hyuga clan. However, the intensity of the training of the little boy in front of him is obviously far beyond the limit of his age.
, the small fists were full of scars, but he still seemed unaware, not feeling any pain at all, and persisted in his training. This all means that Ningji is training beyond the standard, and he is also destroying.
Holding his little body.
But this is all within reason.
Hyuga Neji just lost his father a month ago.
In the world of ninja, children are very precocious. Unlike the world of Shoji's previous generation, 4-year-old children may not really have any intuitive awareness, but in this world, Neji can understand it very clearly.
I understand that my father will leave me forever!
The father who had always cared for him died because of the ridiculous rules of the clan. This was a great sadness for Hyuga Neji, but he was powerless. He didn't even have the last look of his father.
After seeing the method, his father's body was even wanted to be delivered to the enemy in person!
if you can.
Ningci now even wants to directly kill all the members of the Cloud Ninja Mission who have come to Konoha Hidden Village again. However, this is not only impossible to do, but the most important thing is that Ningci himself does not have it at all.
Ability can do it!
Weakness is the greatest original sin!
This is especially true in the world of ninjas!
After his father died, the previously carefree Ningji also died. In his opinion, it was because his father was not a member of the clan, or because he was weak, that he was sacrificed.
!
strength!
The most powerful force!
It can be said that at this moment, Neci is undoubtedly in the same state of mind as the two pillars in the original work. One thing is that in the original work, Ningci is really infinitely similar to the existence of the two pillars!
Without Naruto, it is impossible for Neji to take the same path as Erzhuzi, but it is difficult to say which choice is correct, because Naruto once promised Neji something after becoming Hokage.
Still didn’t do it!
The Hyuga clan is still the same Hyuga clan.
This is the sadness of reality.
'Father! Father! Father!'
It contains endless sorrow.
The sadness and resentment revealed in the depths of Neji's pupils!
"ah!!!!!"
The fist that finally hit the wooden pile, the trace of blood that faintly seeped out, and the little boy's shrill words.
"What should I do, Father..."
Then the little figure collapsed helplessly on the ground, tears already falling down from his cheeks uncontrollably.
Confusion, pain, anger, and powerlessness.
At this moment, almost all the negative emotions can be seen in this four-year-old child. They are so real and so sad.
And when the general came into view in the shadow corner aside.
There is also a faint look of pity on Shoji's face. Even if he does have the idea of using Neji, it is still said that it is due to the influence of another memory and emotion. Shoji still has feelings for Neji.
A more appreciative and fond attitude.
It is precisely because of this.
The general will only appear here today.
"Of course you have to use your own strength to do what you want to do!"
The steps that came out, the slightly low words that fell.
"who!?"
Attracting the attention in that first moment, Neji suddenly stood up from the surface. This is a world where four or five-year-old children can go to the battlefield to kill people. Naturally, Hyuga Neji, who has been exposed to elite ninja education since he was a child, also
Maintain the highest level of vigilance at all times!
This is not the residence of my family, but a slightly remote training ground in the western suburbs.
This immediate alert posture, and then the body turned around, Neji's little face was full of vigilance, but at the moment he saw Shoji's face.
Ningci was stunned at first, and then showed a look of disbelief.
"Uchiha Shoji!"
These words came out of my mouth.
This time, the general was stunned.
Although he is indeed one of the most famous people in the ninja world, Shoji was surprised that Neji, who was only four years old, could recognize him immediately.
However, when I thought about Neji's overly mature and rational performance in the original work, Shoji was relieved and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that even a 4-year-old child in the Hyuga clan could recognize my identity. It seems that I am still
I have somewhat underestimated my current fame."
"Hmph! How could the famous contemporary Shura of the Uchiha clan not know that he is just an Iwa nin? Do you have any special purpose for coming to a child like me? And what did you say just now?
mean?"
Very serious words, and an obviously very serious expression.
But from the words spoken by Hinata Neji, who is only four years old now, it seems to have a cute feeling with a hint of cuteness.
The tight look on his little face made the smile at the corner of Jiang Si's eyes become a little brighter.
"A special purpose? Of course there is. The meaning of those words is of course the literal meaning. Don't you understand, Neji-kun? Oh, by the way, do you mind if I call you by your name?
"
"literal meaning?"
Neji's eyes widened, as if he was a little shocked.
"Yes, literally. I can feel the anger and sorrow deep in your heart. I came here today just to give you such an opportunity. Of course, I will not hide my intentions. It is because I value you Hinata.
The identity of the clan, the white eyes that value you, Neji-kun, join our Iwagakure Village, if you still want to avenge your father! Whether it is the Hyuga clan clan who sent your father away or the top management of Konoha Hidden Village
, as well as Yunyin Village, which received your father’s body, I can promise you here on behalf of Yanyin Village that one day, your blood revenge will be avenged!"
Shoji looked at Hyuga Neji in the opposite seat with a very serious expression, and said in the most determined tone.
"revenge?"
Very seductive words.
The incitement revealed by this bare fruit.
There is no doubt that for Neji, who is only four years old, Shoji's words are no more than the whispers of the devil. The young heart of this completely seduced child has already been burning with Shoji's words in his pure white pupils.
The fire of hatred.
It's also the moment when emotions are about to reach their peak.
It seemed like a flash of clarity.
"Why do you do this? Even if you are looking at our clan's white eyes, you should know very well that I am only a branch of the Hyuga clan, and I was branded with the mark of the caged bird as early as last year. The value of these white eyes is not
It’s as high as you imagined!”
Clear, rational and precise organization.
After Hinata Neji took a deep breath, his little face was still tense, and he spoke word by word facing Shoji's deep eyes.
But what Neji himself didn't notice was that at this moment, a deep look of desire was revealed in the depths of his own pupils.
It seems that he really hopes that General can really convince him.
And this.
It was also seen very clearly by Shoji. No matter how talented a person is, he is only four years old after all. He can still express his thoughts logically and clearly when he suddenly encounters a figure like Shoji who is almost a big boss in the ninja world. Neji has already
It lives up to the genius in the original work.
"So what if we separate the families? We, the Uchiha clan, have also heard a little about the sealing technique of the caged bird. This technique cannot be controlled remotely, right? Although the specific distance is not grasped, I still don't believe it. The Hyuga clan's
People of the clan can use this technique thousands of meters away, not to mention, this technique is by no means 100% impossible. Of course, it is still very difficult for me to do this now, but Neji-kun, I believe
I, in the future, I will definitely be able to break the restrictions of this magic prison on you. I will choose you not because of the influence of my family status, but because I fancy you as the son of Hinata Hizashi. Of course, if you don’t want to be your father in your heart
If you have a desire for revenge, or if you are still bound by the ridiculous restrictions and restraints of the so-called clan and family division, then just pretend that I didn’t say anything!”
Caged bird seal.
This is a technique created by the Hyuga clan thousands of years ago. It is a sealing technique that directly affects the soul of the person being casted. There is definitely no way to solve it now, but Shoji already has two ideas. One is to follow this technique.
The foundation of the style, the source of the power of the Hyuga clan, is the reincarnated eyes of Hamura Otsutsuki!
It is foreseeable that the reincarnation eye can definitely break the seal of the caged bird!
There happens to be such a thing on the moon!
The second is to directly analyze the soul itself in depth. In this aspect, there is an expert, Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, who happens to be involved in all of Shoji's plans in these two aspects.
Arrived!
Therefore, Neji's caged bird problem can be solved at the same time.
And what Shoji didn't say for a reason is that Neji is undoubtedly the most talented person in the Hyuga clan in the original work. Although it is difficult for the descendants of Otsutsuki Hamura on the earth to open the reincarnation eye, but
You can't deny that there is still a corresponding probability. After all, the blood of Hamura Otsutsuki still flows in the Hyuga clan!
Even if the probability is one in ten thousand or one in a million, it is still possible!
And in Shoji's opinion, this possibility exists in Hyuga Neji. Shoji has always felt that, like the Uchiha clan, the true origin can be traced back to the Hyuga clan in Otsutsuki Kaguya.
The blood evolution of eye skills for these people must firstly depend on the concentration of their own bloodline. The purer the person, the more likely they are to reproduce the power of their ancestors. Secondly, it must depend on their own ability and mind!
To put it simply, talent and hard work are both indispensable!
Of course, the former is definitely more important. This is common to generals in their previous lives. People who are more talented than you don't need to say that they work harder than you. As long as they work as hard as you, you can only follow others.
Behind the talent, one can never surpass him!
In this world, talent is even more important.
Hyuga Neji, in Shoji's view, is a person with both talent and hard work. Moreover, unlike the Uchiha clan, the evolution of the Byakugan and the group of madmen on the moon have already provided an unconventional path. Then
It is to fuse a large number of Byakugan to condense a reincarnated eye. Even if it is different from the reincarnated eye that you evolved, it is still a reincarnated eye!
In other words, Shoji can also reproduce this choice!
Collect a large amount of Byakugan and condense the purer power for Neji to absorb, and then strengthen his own bloodline to evolve his own reincarnated eye!
But these are all things for later, and now it still depends on Neji’s own choice.
"Revenge! Of course I think about revenge for my father all the time! Zong family? Split the family? That's bullshit. If you can really give me the power of revenge, I will never hesitate.
But, can you do this!? Uchiha Shoji!"
Neji's wide eyes, clenched fists, and the crazy look in his white pupils. You must know that in the days after his father died, Ningji was living in dire straits every day.
.
His mother died in a battle not long after he was born. Neji has always been dependent on his father Hinata Hizashi since he was a child. Hizashi's position in Neji's mind is the most important one that no one can replace!
Just like the two pillars in the original work.
Neji had similar thoughts at this moment.
That is, 'As long as they have the power to take revenge, they will not hesitate to make a deal with the devil!'
"Very good, what I need is your determination. As for power, I think the Uchiha clan and Iwagakure are enough, right? Whether it's Konoha or Kumogakure, they all belong to us.
The target, especially Konoha, is the blood feud of our Uchiha clan. Under these eyes, our clan has never forgotten what our mission is. You don’t need to worry about this at all. Now is the time to tell you
It’s time to make a choice, Hinata Neji, are you willing to give up your current life and choose to join us!?”
It doesn't mean that Neji is a child, so he doesn't feel scornful.
Shoji has always treated Hinata Neji with an equal eye, and these last words of invitation, followed by his extended right hand, reflected the scarlet color in Shoji's deep pupils.
Not only did Neji not feel any fear, but a very faint blood-red color seemed to emerge from the depths of the white pupils at this moment. There was no need to hesitate at all, but he chose to step out firmly.
step.
He also extended his right hand.
"I do!"
Childish yet firm words.
'I'm sorry, Father, I should have lived up to your expectations, but I will never regret it. Just look at it, Father, whether it's Konoha or Kumogakure, any sinner who kills you, I'm not the one
I won't let you go!'
Deep in the heart of this little boy, endless ambitions of his own grew!
"Very good! So, Neji! Welcome to join Iwagakure Village! I promise, this is definitely the most correct choice you have made!"
Shoji smiled slightly, gently held Neji's right hand with his right hand, and said with a hint of appreciation.
"Then, let's go!"
Immediately afterwards, Shoji held Ningji's little hand, and the two left the place together. As the sunset completely set in the west, submerged into the gradually falling night, they returned in the direction they came from.
