The Right Way to Die in the Ninja World

Chapter 349

The Land of Water, the Hidden Mist Village.

Kurama Yakumo, Mrs. Tsunami, and Hinata Hinata were shopping on the street. Behind them, Hyuga Neji and Kimimaro silently acted as a humanoid bag carrier without any complaints.

Since the Chunin exam, the relationship between Neji and Hinata has recovered a lot.

In fact, when he was a child, Ning Ci also liked this little soft and cute sister. Even if he was forced to engrave the curse mark of the caged bird, even though he didn't like it, it would not reach the point where he hated the clan until... his father was forced to... If he died, the elder brother who replaced the Zong family became the scapegoat.

Not only that, seeing that the Zong family is superior, a weak little girl whose talent is far inferior to his own can directly control his own destiny because of birth, no matter how talented he is, no matter how hard he works, it will be useless. The hatred became deeper and deeper, and Hinata was naturally angered.

However, after the outbreak of the Hinata Chunin Exam, Neji had to re-acquaint Hinata who he thought was weak and useless.

Before going out with Hinata this time, he even received a letter from Hinata Hinata sent to him by the Hinata patriarch.

'Please tell Neji that I didn't die because I divided my family to protect my main family, but I died because I protected my brothers and the village. '

At that moment, Ning Ci had already let go.

It's not that he didn't doubt the authenticity of this letter in his heart, and it's not that he didn't doubt the mood of his father when he wrote this letter-whether he really didn't mind going to death, or he had no choice but to let him not get into a corner and be able to be good. Written to survive?
There are too many possibilities, and the dead cannot speak.

Even...he couldn't be sure whether this suicide note was written by his real father.

After so many years, why did he not see this suicide note until now?
Neji didn't know all this, but at the first moment, he chose to lower his head and knelt down with trembling body, showing that he had believed the words in the suicide note.

Because he can only believe.

Ning Ci looked at Hinata who was chatting and laughing a lot in front, his eyes were soft.

He still can't trust his patriarch uncle, but he has learned to move forward, no matter what that guy is, at least Hinata is indeed a sister worthy of protection, and the Hyuga family also needs him to accumulate strength to change.

Neji couldn't help but think of the scene when he saw Akira Hanami before leaving for the mission. It was after the Chunin exams and before the patriarch talked to him.
-
At that time, this person who had become a legend of Konoha had been fishing in the lake like an old man, yawning lazily while fishing, looking bored.

Although they knew each other, they didn't meet much and were not familiar with each other, but for some reason, Ning Ci walked over.

Perhaps it was because of the relationship with Hanami Akira's original teammate in the next mission, or perhaps because of some kind of desire that he didn't know, Hinata Neji took the initiative to say hello to the other party.

"You look bored."

"It doesn't look like it, it's really boring."

"Is it because you can't leave the village for the time being?"

"Ah, probably part of the reason..."

"Then why don't you go out?"

For some reason, he clearly knew that he shouldn't say this, but Neiji Hinata still asked it. Maybe it was because some kind of eagerness in his heart was so hot that he couldn't help but feel that he hated iron for being weak!
"With your strength, if you really want to go out, no one will be able to stop you?"

If Huajian Aketetsu doesn't want to grow mushrooms and mold in the village, even Hokage can't restrain him.

"Indeed."

"Then why did you..."

Ning Ci spoke halfway, not knowing what to say.

At that time, Hua Jianming seemed a little surprised, but immediately, he looked Neji up and down, and then showed a clear look.

"I understand what you're thinking—you probably want to ask why I'm locked in a 'cage', and I still have the strength to break free from this cage, why don't you go out?"

"..."

Ning Ci didn't speak, he thought of the "bird in a cage" stamped by his family on his forehead, his eyes were a little sad.

Although he didn't say it out loud, deep down he really thought so.

In his opinion, Hua Jianming's current situation of being restricted from travel is quite similar to him, like a bird in a cage, the only difference is that Hua Jianming has the power to break the cage.

However, the other party still stayed obediently, which made Ningci quite uncomfortable, feeling aggrieved.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Hanami gave him the answer with a smile.

"Because we have different ideas. Restricting travel is boring, but I know that the teacher is considering the overall situation, so I am willing to accept this proposal...Of course, this is only one of the reasons."

He patted Ning Ci on the shoulder with a casual and natural tone.

"The most important thing is that I am very clear that I can abide by this proposal if I want to. It is easy for me to break the 'cage', so naturally I will not feel any discomfort."

Ning Ci thought of what Hua Jianming said in his ear when he pressed his shoulder.

"Ningci, people have to look forward! The most important thing is that you have to figure out what you want."

"Want...something?"

"If you understand, don't worry about other irrelevant things."

Because Hua Jianming once owed Tian Tian a favor when he was very weak at the beginning, he had already thought about it at that time, to let Ne Ci survive to repay this kindness, at least so that Tian Tian would not have to die alone like the original book, so, at this time He was also willing to talk to Ning Ci more.

"Either you can deceive yourself or listen to other people's explanations to fulfill your dreams and live in a daze. You can also choose to pursue power. When the time comes, you will decide what to believe and what not to believe."

"You want to tell me that the rules are made by the strong."

"At least this is the case in the ninja world. When your strength can easily break through the birdcage, even if you are in it, you won't feel like you are bound."

"..."

"By the way, I have a newly developed root technique here, do you want to learn it?"

"Can you?!"

"Shhhhhh!"

Like a thief, Hanami Ming pretended to look around, then stuffed a scroll into Neji's hand.

"It's a by-product of the failure of other ninjutsu research and development. I thought it was useless at first, but now it seems that it is just right for you. Although it is a temporary solution, it should be enough for you now."
