"Neji, come out for a bit."
After returning to the Hyuga clan, Neji was called out by Hyuga Hiashi.
Without even having to think about it, Neji knew that Hyuga Hiashi was going to lecture him. In that kind of situation, his every action represented the Hyuga clan, and openly challenging Danzo would cause problems, even if the Hyuga clan was the top family in Konoha.
Compared to the village leaders, family was not worth much. The tragedy of the Uchiha clan was the best example.
"Neji, you didn't think this through very well," Hyuga Hiashi said heavily.
As expected!
Neji also knew that revealing himself to Danzo too early wasn't a good choice, but he had no other option at the time.
Danzo had already noticed him. If Danzo became Hokage, he would have endless trouble in the future. If he was caught by Danzo, he would lose a layer of skin even if he didn't die.
The root of the problem was that perverted old man Jiraiya. Konoha had been destroyed like this, but he still hadn't shown up. He wondered what kind of material was so interesting to him.
The more he thought about backing down, the angrier he got. The more he thought about holding back, the more he felt like he was losing out.
"Naruto, Jiraiya, you're really a fine pair of master and student!" Neji complained in his mind. The two of them had messed up his plans twice, it was really... a grudge.
But then, Hyuga Hiashi suddenly said with a hint of praise, "Although you didn't think it through, you did a very good job."
"Hmm?" Neji looked up, looking at Hyuga Hiashi in confusion.
"Danzo is cunning and vicious, and he has always been against families with special bloodlines. If he really becomes Hokage, my Hyuga clan won't be far from following in the footsteps of the Uchiha."
"But, after your big scene today, Danzo, hehe, he can forget about becoming Hokage in this lifetime," Hyuga Hiashi said with a cold laugh.
Danzo thought he was hiding very well, but his actions had always been watched.
Ha, Kumogakure kidnapped Hinata during negotiations back then. It was just a Jonin, but he was able to sneak into the Hyuga house without anyone noticing, and even the leaders and elite of Konoha didn't notice.
For many years, he had always had doubts about this matter. Just recently, he finally found some clues, and these clues all pointed to Danzo.
"He still has evil intentions towards the Byakugan," Hyuga Hiashi thought secretly. Of course, he wouldn't tell Neji these things, because Hizashi died because of this.
Neji nodded. After his outburst, Danzo's reputation was completely ruined. Except for Naruto, everyone else was smart. Working with Orochimaru to kill the Third Hokage was enough to give him trouble.
In the future, his actions in Konoha would be limited in every way, and his situation would become very difficult.
"But, you were too reckless. Danzo will definitely hold a grudge against you, and Utatane Koharu isn't very forgiving either."
Hyuga Hiashi was a little worried. Neji was indeed too impulsive. Offending two leaders of Konoha would greatly hurt Neji's future, and they would definitely make things difficult for him in the future.
"I'm not afraid of them," Neji said calmly. At worst, he would send them on their way.
Although Danzo and Utatane Koharu were strong, if he really wanted to kill them, he had many ways to do it.
If all else failed, he would use All-Killing Ash Bones to crush their bones and scatter their ashes, making them disappear from this world completely.
"You, forget it. You have too many secrets, so I won't ask you. What do you want to do? Do you really want to go look for Tsunade?" Hyuga Hiashi asked.
"Yeah," Neji replied.
Hyuga Hiashi hesitated, and finally said in a deep voice, "Since that's what you want to do, then do it without worry. I will fully support you."
"Okay."
Then, Neji left to find Tsunade. The current Konoha was shaky, and Tsunade was needed to be in charge.
Watching Neji's departing back, Hyuga Hiashi sighed softly. His original intention was to have Neji compete for the position of Hokage.
From what he briefly saw today, there seemed to be quite a few people who liked Neji. Plus, with the strong support of his Hyuga clan, even though Neji's strength wasn't enough right now, he could still compete.
But Neji didn't seem to have that idea, so he could only give up.
After separating from Hyuga Hiashi, Neji immediately headed towards Tanzaku Town. If he walked fast, he would arrive in a day.
"Hyuga Hiashi seemed to be hinting at something. I wonder what he's thinking," Neji thought.
Generally, when a clan member made a mistake, Hyuga Hiashi, as the clan leader, would punish them in front of many clan members. Not to mention that his actions had dragged the entire family into the situation, so how could he just let it go like this?
Neji couldn't possibly know Hyuga Hiashi's thoughts, but he didn't think too much about it. Anyway, it didn't have a bad effect on him.
As he stepped out of the Hyuga clan's residence, a figure in the bushes quickly flashed away. Neji paused slightly, and the corners of his mouth turned up.
"Danzo, I'm rooting for you."
As he walked to the village entrance, a loud noise came, along with several violent Chakras.
It seemed like someone was fighting.
Neji glanced in that direction, his eyes showing appreciation.
The Akatsuki organization was really fast and dedicated to achieving their goals. If this was in his past life, no, no matter where it was, it would be a perfect model organization.
"It's a pity that they were tricked by Black Zetsu, and the entire Akatsuki organization's original purpose was twisted," Neji sighed.
As everyone knows, there are three strongest illusion techniques in the ninja world:
The so-called Will of Fire, Naruto had been hurt by the Byakugan for so many years, but he still protected the village at all costs, which was really amazing.
Then there was Black Zetsu's great trickery, planning for a thousand years just to save his mother. He had fooled the ninja world for a thousand years, always succeeding. If he hadn't admitted it at the last moment, he could have kept tricking people.
Of course, the most powerful illusion technique was Naruto's Talk-no-jutsu. No matter what Sharingan, Rinnegan, Byakugan, or Tenseigan you have, they're all useless against my Talk-no-jutsu.
Neji chuckled, he was at peace with it: "Forget it, I'll find a time to trick... recruit the other members of Akatsuki. After all, the weakest of them are still elite Jonin."
Ignoring the battle there, Neji walked out of the village. Even if Jiraiya hadn't returned, the two people wouldn't benefit from being in Konoha.
Not to mention that Itachi wouldn't use his full strength, and Danzo wouldn't watch Naruto being captured. Danzo wouldn't easily give his unstable "weapon" to others.
"Old man, make good use of your last bit of energy."
