Fly high in the shadow of fire

Chapter 25 The Return
The spring sun is hanging high in the sky, reflecting the gentle and non-glare sunlight, and a group of people can be seen walking slowly in the distance.

"Wow, look what's ahead," Tiantian said excitedly.

I saw the tall city walls of Muye Village standing there. Many merchants from other places and surrounding villagers were entering the village through the inspection of the guards. There was no change when they left. This is a sense of stability, as if they don't have to worry about anything when they enter the village.

The guards at the entrance of the village still had serious expressions on their faces. Ning Ci and the others slowly walked into Muye Village after passing their inspection.

"Goodbye, Mr. Kai, I'm going home first," Tian Tian said and ran away quickly.

"Teacher Kai, I..." Xiao Li was a little embarrassed.

"Come on, Xiao Li, you haven't been home for a long time, a man can't be so awkward." Maitekai saw Xiao Li's embarrassment, and said with a smile.

"Yes, Teacher Kai." After finishing speaking, Xiao Li also ran away.

Ning Ci looked at the two people who left and smiled slightly. For them, it had been too long since they left home.

"Ningci, why don't you go back?" Looking at Ningci beside him, Kai said puzzled.

"There is no one in my house, only two uncles and grandpas nearby. I will go back to see them at night." Ning Ci said calmly, "Mr. Kai is going to the Hokage Building?"

Maitekai thought for a while and said, "Yes, I'm going to talk to Mr. Hokage about the situation during this time, and by the way, ask if there are any advanced tasks suitable for you."

"Teacher Kai is really strict, he doesn't give us a holiday," Ning Ci said silently.

"We can't waste our youth like this, don't you think so, Neji?" Maitekai said passionately.

Ning Ci originally wanted to come back and rest for a while, but it seemed impossible, but he thought that it was his teacher who issued such an advanced task, so he immediately calmed down, "Mr. Kai, let's go together later, I haven't seen you for a long time teacher"

Neji is talking to Kai here.

"Hey, isn't this Kai, long time no see" came a lazy voice.

Neji and Maitkai turned their heads to look, isn't this Kakashi?
I saw Kakashi coming out of the side alley.

"Ningji, guess who I am" A voice with a low voice came from behind Kakashi, and Neji knew who it was without guessing, the orange trouser legs had already exposed the target.

Only then did Neji notice that a girl and a boy walked out behind Kakashi.

And the girl with pink hair and wide forehead was secretly looking at a boy with his hands in his hands and his head bowed with a gloomy face, not paying attention to what happened here.

It turned out to be Haruno Sakura and Sasuke.

As if noticing Neji's gaze, Sasuke looked over and saw that it was Hinata Neji, an old opponent, and then snorted disdainfully.

Ning Ci smiled and didn't care. When I teach you in the future, after all, Itachi entrusts me to take care of you. It's impossible not to change your three views. This cynical look is too annoying for him.

Before Ning Ci could speak, Naruto jumped out who couldn't wait.

"Ningji can't think of it, I've become a ninja too." Naruto also moved his forehead closer to show Neji.

"Long time no see, Senior Kakashi, how are you doing?" Neji pushed Naruto aside and asked Kakashi with a smile.

"I'm not good. It's not like Kai took you out to do missions so leisurely. These three brats annoy me so much." Kakashi said, covering his forehead.

"Haha, Kakashi, I'm not leisurely, but Neji and the others are really good, they make me relax a lot," Kai laughed.

"Neji, we haven't seen each other for a long time. During this period of time, we have also been doing very serious tasks, isn't it Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto grabbed Neji's clothes and tried his best to show off to Neji.

"Hi hi" Kakashi had a headache.

"Really, Naruto, it looks like you did a good job," Neji said jokingly.

"Hee hee" Naruto smiled and touched his head.

"Hmph, I'm not what I used to be, are you interested in a competition, Hinata Neji?" Sasuke said.

"Wow, Sasuke is so handsome," Haruno Sakura admired.

Kakashi lowered his head.

Ning Ci smiled, "Yes, but not now, you are not strong enough now, it is meaningless to teach you a lesson"

"You..." Sasuke gasped.

"Ningji, don't mind, although Sasuke is a genius, he is still far behind you." Kakashi hurried out to smooth things over, it seemed that he still cared about Sasuke.

"Ms. Kakashi" Sasuke was very dissatisfied.

"Neji is Hokage-sama's disciple, not something you can compare to now." Then Kakashi turned his head and said to Neji: "I'm sorry, Neji, we still have a task to leave first."

Saying that, Kakashi pulled Naruto, who was unwilling to leave, and walked aside with Haruno Sakura and Sasuke.

"Ningji come and play with me when you have time," Naruto said struggling.

"I'll let you see my strength in the future," Sasuke said fiercely when he left.

"Goodbye, Kakashi, talk more when you have time." As soon as Maitekai's voice came out, Kakashi ran faster.

It's been so long since I've finally relaxed, I'm still willing to try with Kai.

Thinking of this, Kakashi looked at the three little ghosts around him again, his head grew bigger again, what crime did I do.

"Let's go, Teacher Kai," Ning Ci said.

"Oh, yes, we still have business to do, now is not the time to compete with Kakashi, let's go, Neji"

The two then came to Hokage's office.

"Teacher, long time no see." Neji walked up to Sarutobi Hiruzen and said.

"Oh, Neji, I thought you had forgotten me as a teacher, you haven't come to see me for so long, and you don't care about the elderly at all," Hiruzaru Sarutobi said angrily.

"Lord Naruto"

"Oh, it's Kai, how about it, my disciple is not bad?"

"Ningci has lived up to the title of disciple of Hokage," Kai said seriously.

"That's good, it seems that you are doing well, Neji," Hiruzaru Sarutobi said, looking at Neji.

"Isn't it because you, the master, teach well?" Ning Ci flattered him without blushing or panting.

"I know what I taught" Although what he said was wrong, it was quite useful to see his face.

"Kay, what else do you want?"

"I want to ask if there is a B-level mission suitable for Neji and the others. They have the ability to try it."

"Oh, why is the evaluation so high?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi glanced at Neiji.

Ning Ci smiled at Yuan Feiri and winked at him.

"Is that so? Although I have a lot of tasks, but I don't have any suitable for you at the moment, so you will come. Let's rest for a while before we talk." Yuan Feiri said to Kai, before going to see Ning Ci.

"Then thank you, teacher." Ning Ci showed a big smile to the third generation, it seems that the teacher still understands me.

"Yes, Hokage-sama"

Then the two left.

"Teacher Kai, I'm going home first, we'll see you later." After saying that, Neji ran away.

This time Ning Ci just said that he was not in a hurry, but now he is in such a hurry, Kai shook his head and smiled.

"Grandpa Shan, Uncle Cheng, I'm back." Ning Ci went to the Hyuga Clan's land for a while and went to find the two closest people here.

After a commotion, Ning Ci returned home.

what happened?Someone touched my things. Although it was well concealed, Ning Ci made a secret note before leaving, and found out after returning.

Although Auntie Cheng will come to clean it regularly, she will never touch these places, even if she accidentally touches it, she won't touch it all.

Neji was sure that someone had entered his room and searched it carefully.

Who is it, besides being a disciple of Hokage, he has nothing to pay attention to?And it's in the land of the Hyuga clan, the land of the Hyuga clan?

Ning Ci's eyes turned cold, he was from the Zong family.

But Ning Ci couldn't figure out what he had to worry about?
In a dark room.

"Neiji Hinata is back?"

"Yes, my lord"

"You didn't find anything when you went to his house last time, but he won't find anything, right?"

"No, he's just a kid who just became a ninja, and I've carefully covered it up, so he won't be found out"

"Okay, but we haven't been able to find a chance, so we can't touch him openly"

"My lord, now we can only wait for the opportunity"

"You go back first"

"Yes"

The door opened, and a ray of sunlight came in, and there was some light in the room. There was a person sitting inside, and the old face of the person could be seen through the faint light. It turned out to be Hyuga Arai who suppressed Neji before.

Hyuga Arai looked at Hyugayu who left and fell into thought.

On that day, Hinata Yuki came to report that he saw Ningji Hinata practicing a kind of soft boxing technique, which he had never seen before. It was a direct, quick and powerful move, and it could be used continuously without accumulating energy at all.

It turned out that Neji was seen by Hyuga Yu who was passing by when he was experimenting with moves, but Neji, who was overexcited, didn't notice.

After hearing Hinata Yu's detailed description of this move, Hinata Arai's heart was moved.

This can directly join the Hyuga family's Rouquan inheritance. This should be the contribution of the patriarch of the clan, not the boy's own possession. That's why he sent Hyugao to search Neji's room.

Hyuga Arai never thought that this was created by Neji's hard work. In his eyes, it was developed by Rouquan and should belong to the clan, so he should submit it.

Then there was this scene today.
