Hokage: I will never go offline

After Ah Fei disappeared like this, Neji had no choice but to give up.

But it's a bit reluctant to say let it go, he just feels that there is no need to be reluctant to forgive him for the time being.

Even if he can try his best to crack Ah Fei's time and space ninjutsu now, Neji can probably do it now.

But Neji knew that the conspirator behind him was not Obito Uchiha, behind him was the plan of Madara Uchiha, Hei Ze and others.

After all, even Hei Ze is just a pawn played by Otsuki Kaguya. As for Otsutsuki Kaguya's staggering combat IQ from the year before he was sealed, Neji is really curious about it.

As well as Otsutsuki Pu Shiki's hostility towards Kaguya, what happened to the Otsutsuki clan is what Neji needs to investigate.

It's just that now, there are no clues to look for for the time being.

It's just that Ningci can be sure that if he starts to scare the snake, it may really lead the matter to an uncontrollable direction.

The current top priority is to settle the post-war situation of Konoha Village and prepare for the Fourth Ninja World War.

Konoha Village, in front of the gate.

It is said to be a gate, but it is just a location. The gate here has long since ceased to exist.

Some are just the villagers and ninjas who are rebuilding Konoha Village, which still looks lively.

The clothes of Ning Ci and Ino were still the same as they were before the time travel, which caused some passers-by to look at them from a distance from time to time, but no one recognized them.

And two years later, Neji and Ino's appearances have also opened up, and they are no longer teenagers and girls at all, so that they have been pointed at all along the way, and no one has recognized their true identities.

"Ningji, Danzo's body, is it really good to just bury it there?"

"Why not? Anyway, I have already got the important things."

Ning Ci shrugged, showing a relaxed smile.

Although Ino has always looked bitter after seeing Konoha's current situation, but Neji seems to have relieved his emotions.

After all, Payne invaded Konoha and destroyed Konoha. As a traverser, Neji knew what would happen. When he didn't come, Neji was still worried about accidents.

But after it happened, Ning Ci didn't have anything to worry about, he just tried his best to remedy it.

"but……"

Ino let out a breath.

After Neji came back from that era, his style of doing things seemed to have changed, and he was no longer the cautious style he used to be.

"Ning Ci, this doesn't look like you at all..."

"You used to think about a lot of things. Even though Danzo has a bad record, he is an important figure in Konoha. We also participated in his death, so we buried him in the stone bridge outside Konoha Village. Besides, is it too hasty? Even if he got the Eye of Shishui, there are so many eyes that have been transplanted and consumed on his body, and there are many secrets hidden in his body..."

Seeing Ino's analysis, Ning Ci looked at him meaningfully, and then smiled "puchi".

"Ino, Konoha Village has been destroyed, don't worry about what's there and what's not."

Ning Ci laughed, as if merging with the warm sunshine, very healing.

"You've seen it along the way. Konoha has become like this. More important things are yet to come. I don't care about people like Danzo. You say my style has changed? That's right, I'm watching By the time of the Second Hokage, I seemed to understand it completely."

"Understand what?"

"I understand the meaning of Hokage."

When Ning Ci said these words, he suddenly stopped.

Looking at Neji's serious and serious face, Ino's heart palpitated deeply.

Although I don't know why, I always feel that the current Neji has become very sharp somewhere, invisible and intangible.

Neji explained: "Before the death of the third Hokage, he said that he would hand over Konoha Village to me."

"At that time, I didn't understand the weight of this sentence. In my opinion, he was just an old Hokage who lost the ability to protect Konoha Village. In the end, if it wasn't for him helping me track down the Hyuga Clan As for the dossier, I will completely consider him a failed Hokage."

Ning Ci looked at Ino, who was startled.

"Failed... Hokage?"

"Hehehe~"

Ning Ci grinned again, and shook his head lightly: "However, those are all wrong opinions~"

"I originally thought that Hokage was just a superficial job. The third Hokage did not have the strength of the first Hokage, did not have the courage of the second Hokage, and did not have the youth of the fourth Hokage. But...he is the longest serving among all the Hokages , the Hokage who has influenced the most generations. It is he who has passed down the so-called will of fire to this day."

"There is no strength, but relying on the situation. To put it bluntly, is it trying to survive? As long as you are alive, as long as you stay in this position, you can adapt to the situation and be pushed to a fixed point by the situation. However, every era is different. ... This time, in that era, I saw it clearly."

When Ning Ci said this, his expression became slightly serious.

And Ino also felt something, those scenes were also vivid in her mind, she gave a soft "hmm".

Ning Ci pondered for a moment, then continued: "When I saw Elder Shenyue hand over Tianren's spiritual body to me before his death, his courage to coexist with pain and hope really inspired me. Even Hyuga Mu Although I don't know the reason for this decision, I think he also has his standpoint. The second generation of Hokage must have his considerations, he is such an extreme Hokage, but... At that time, he could obviously escape, but for the sake of He did not hesitate to make such a choice not to let me, in his eyes, Konoha's hope for the future come to nothing."

"So... so you were moved by their courage in the face of death?"

"No, Ino, I'm talking about the meaning of Hokage."

"The... meaning of Hokage?"

Ino blinked his eyes, feeling that Neji's thoughts had risen to more than one level than before.

Neji showed a gratified smile and explained: "That is the meaning of his being Hokage, to die with honor for the village. Whether it is the third Hokage or the fourth Hokage, they all died with honor for the village. The interests of the village are far greater than theirs. Personal emotion, once you figure it out, you can immediately understand their decision."

"so……"

Ning Ci took a deep breath, his face calm.

"I'm not becoming a Hokage. But the Hokage of Konoha Village is not a tool I use. They should all be the greatest shadows who have dedicated everything to this village. People like Danzo are not worthy of being called shadows at all."

After Ning Ci finished speaking, he walked forward, while Ino stood behind in a daze.

"This... Neji, Neji?"

She quickly chased after him, not knowing what kind of decision Neji made...

……

The Hyuga clan, the main family.

After the war, the Hyuga clan was also bare. The former training ground and the family compound, and even the dojo were razed to the ground long ago, but they were rebuilt little by little with everyone's efforts.

And behind the long dry forest, there is a hidden cemetery, dense with bones, a figure is standing in front of it, with a vigilant expression.
