There is a kind of people in the world. When they know what they want, no one can stop them.
And Sasuke and Neji are obviously such people.
Neither Sasuke nor Neji expected Sakura and Tenten to appear, so after knocking them out, the two of them couldn't help but move a little faster.
The Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan can be said to be one of the two oldest families in Konoha. In addition, both families are the blood lineage of the Eye type.
Therefore, the two families were built in completely opposite locations.
And the path that Sasuke and Neji took was naturally not the same.
But if you want to reach the Konoha gate, you have to walk on the main road after all.
Whizzing!
Two figures rushed out from both sides almost without distinction, and at the same time quickly clung to the corners on both sides, preparing to move forward.
At the same time, at this time, the two people also discovered each other's existence.
Sasuke Uchiha!
Hinata Neji!
Neji and Sasuke looked at each other with a look of surprise in their eyes.
Both of them have reached this position, but they cannot be discovered, otherwise their efforts will be in vain.
Sasuke's body squatted down slightly, obviously ready to fight.
However, Sasuke's face looked a little ugly. Compared to Sakura who was defenseless, the strength of Hinata Neji in front of him was not inferior to his own.
I'm afraid that there is no way to resolve the battle in a short time.
Thinking of this, Sasuke was silent for a while, looked at Neji, and said in a solemn voice:
"Why are you here?"
At the same time as Sasuke's voice sounded, Neji's voice also came at the same time.
"You want to leave Konoha too?"
Neji looked at Sasuke indifferently, but the curled palms under his sleeves clearly showed that Neji was not as calm as he looked on the surface.
As the voices from both sides rang out, the two people were stunned for a moment at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, Sasuke and Neji looked at each other deeply and walked out of the corner.
"Is there any way you can leave without drawing attention to yourself?"
Neji lowered his voice and spoke to Sasuke next to him.
"I'm not completely sure, but dusk is the only chance."
Sasuke was silent for a moment, then spoke in a low voice.
The two of them had a tacit understanding, and neither of them asked the other why they wanted to leave Konoha.
"Not completely sure? In other words, there are some things you can't be sure of, as long as you can solve these problems." Neji looked at Sasuke and said.
"The people guarding the gate of Konoha are just two ordinary chunin. What I care about more is the Konoha security force hidden in the dark. I need to know their specific location and appearance, and then use transformation techniques to get through."
Sasuke looked at Neji and said seriously.
"With my eyes, this problem can be easily solved. The rest will be left to you."
Neji breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look in the direction of Konoha's gate, and quickly opened his eyes.
Compared to Sasuke's defection in the original work, without Orochimaru's secret help, Sasuke could only use the stupidest method to leave Konoha.
Fortunately, Sasuke and Neji just wanted to leave Konoha and not sneak in. Otherwise, the difficulty would have been increased dozens of times.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, neither Uchiha nor Uchiha Madara provided Sasuke and Neji with an escape route, but only sent people to wait outside Konoha.
Perhaps in the eyes of Uchiha and Uchiha Madara, if they can't even complete the trivial matter of leaving Konoha, then there must be no cultivation value.
Time passed unconsciously.
In a forest outside the gate of Konoha, Sasuke and Neji were leaning against a big tree, their eyes flashing with excitement.
The two of them finally came out!
"Hyuuga Neji, it seems we haven't fought each other yet."
Sasuke looked at Neji, who had an indifferent expression across from him, and suddenly spoke.
"Will have the opportunity next time."
Neji spoke slowly. After speaking, he reached out and took off the Konoha forehead protector from his forehead, and threw it on the ground casually.
Seeing Neji's blank forehead, Sasuke couldn't help but widen his eyes, with an incredible look on his face.
Neji glanced at Sasuke's shocked expression and didn't care. There was no need to hide it now.
With a slight movement of his feet, the whole person disappeared on the spot and quickly headed towards Kirigakure Village.
After a few jumps, Neji had disappeared from Sasuke's sight.
Seeing the direction in which Neji disappeared, Sasuke came back to his senses at this time.
Originally, Sasuke still had some doubts about Neci's sudden departure from Konoha, but now, Sasuke finally knew the reason, and at the same time, Sasuke also knew where Neci wanted to go.
"The first Mizukage Righto?"
Sasuke murmured to himself, lowered his head and glanced at the forehead protector thrown down by Neci, then took off the forehead protector on his own head, threw it on the ground, turned around and walked in the other direction.
At this time, the Hyuga clan.
Hinata was sitting in the center of the room with her eyes closed, as if waiting for something.
Not long after, the door was pushed open and a Jōnin from the Hyuga clan walked in. He respectfully said to Hyuga Hizashi:
"Clan leader, Hyuga Neji hasn't come back yet."
"You haven't come back yet? Send someone to look for you now!"
There was suddenly a hint of seriousness in Hinata Hizu's tone.
The jounin was slightly startled, then quickly turned around and left.
A solemn look flashed in Hinata Hizu's eyes, and he looked at the scroll on the table in front of him.
This scroll is the "Kaiten" training scroll specially sent to Neji by Hinata Hizatsu yesterday.
But now, not only has the scroll on the table not been opened, it has not even moved.
That's right, Hinata Hinashi is staying at Neji's home now.
Today Hinata Hizashi suddenly came over. One was to give some advice on Neji's training, and the other was to repair the relationship between the two.
But after arriving at Neji's house, he found the untouched scroll on the table. Hinata Hinata realized that he seemed to have thought of things a bit simply.
Not long after, the Jonin returned to the room, looked at Hinata Hizashi who was still sitting there, and said respectfully:
"Clan leader, I have been to all the training grounds, and there is no sign of Hyuga Neji."
Hinata Hizu was silent for a while, then stood up directly from where he was, raised his feet and walked towards the door. At the same time, he said as he walked:
"Send someone to go to the Konoha security force. I'm going to the Hokage's office building now. It's best to give me an accurate message when I arrive at the Hokage's office building."
Following the words of Hinata Hizu, the jounin nodded quickly, turned around and disappeared.
As the leader of the clan, when Hinata stepped out of the gate of the Hyuga clan, he quickly attracted the attention of interested people.
In particular, a large number of ninjas from the Hyuga clan turned into white shadows and moved in all directions.
Is the Hyuga clan making big moves?
All the ninjas who saw this scene had doubtful looks in their eyes.
Hokage's office.
Jiraiya and Tsunade were currently dealing with various recent documents in Konoha, and the two of them were completely busy and exhausted.
So far, the fifth generation Hokage has not been selected. Although the third generation intended to pass the position to Jiraiya before his death, since the resurrection of Senju Hashirama, the original reputation of Tsunade has been added.
The entire Konoha was divided into two factions for a while, one supported Jiraiya and the other supported Tsunade, but for Tsunade and Jiraiya, neither of them cared.
The result is that all government affairs in Konoha are temporarily handed over to two people.
In fact, as long as Senju Hashirama is around for a day, it doesn't matter who becomes the Hokage. After all, Senju Hashirama is the real pillar.
As for the other Hokage candidate, he had already quit, not because Danzo wanted to quit, but because he had no choice.
During the period after Senju Hashirama was resurrected, he naturally wanted to see his family and the Uchiha clan.
However, one can imagine what it would be like facing Senju Hashirama.
If Senju Hashirama could still remain silent after knowing that the Senju clan had come to an end, then when he knew that the Uchiha clan and the Uzumaki clan had been exterminated, Senju Hashirama became completely angry.
Although Senju Hashirama usually behaves carefree, it does not mean that Senju Hashirama does not understand politics.
There are no secrets in Konoha to Senju Hashirama. Even if there are, as long as Senju Hashirama wants to know, no one can hide it from him.
Danzo, who was related to these things, was so frightened that he became weak when he found out that Senju Hashirama was investigating these things.
Now let alone running for Hokage, Danzo doesn't even dare to leave the house.
However, after Senju Hashirama investigated these matters, he did not go to Danzo. He was just a little silent, or disappointed.
Whoosh!
An ANBU member suddenly appeared in the Hokage's office.
After the ANBU member said a few words to Jiraiya and Tsunade respectfully, he disappeared again.
"Did something happen to the Hyuga clan?"
Jiraiya put down a piece of information in his hand and spoke with some curiosity.
"We'll find out when Hinata Hinashi comes."
Tsunade yawned and said casually.
Not long after Tsunade finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and then Hinata Hiashi walked in directly.
"Hyuuga Clan Leader, what's the matter?"
Jiraiya looked at Hinata Hinashi and said in confusion.
"Almost, it's time to come." Hinata Hinata calmed down and said softly.
Jiraiya and Tsunade looked at each other at the same time, the doubts in their eyes getting stronger.
At this moment, the door that had just been closed was knocked again, and then a Jonin from the Hyuga clan and a ninja from the Konoha Security Department hurriedly walked in.
"Tsunade-sama, Jiraiya-sama, we found two sets of Konoha forehead protectors in the forest outside the gate of Konoha. They should be from Konoha genin."
The ninja from the Konoha Security Department quickly spoke respectfully.
Konoha genin's forehead protector?
The expressions of Tsunade and Jiraiya changed. Could it be that someone from another village attacked Konoha and kidnapped two genin?
As soon as they had this idea, the two people shook their heads at the same time. This possibility was very low.
"No matter what, we must first determine who these two people are, have all the genin gather, and notify their leading jounin as well."
Jiraiya quickly gave an order to the ninja from the security department.
This ninja from the Konoha Security Department quickly turned around and left. At the same time, several ANBU ninjas hiding in the dark also left one after another.
