Uchiha's Blade

For Mana, facing Hyuga Neji is a very uncomfortable thing for her.

Just seeing the ugly mark on the child's forehead was like a flame burning her nerves, reminding her of what she had missed in the past few decades.

Hyuga Neji probably couldn't understand Mana's feelings, but he did feel a kind of sadness and guilt from the other person.

Glancing at the Konoha forehead protector Mana was wearing again, Neji asked, "Why are you here? No one usually comes to this place."

Precisely because few people came here, he chose this place to practice the soft boxing skills he had secretly learned.

Zhenna said: "I felt someone here when I was teaching students nearby, so I came to take a look."

Neji exposed her unceremoniously: "Impossible, I haven't seen you before."

Mana pursed her lips and smiled: "How far can your Byakugan see? For me, my range of perception is beyond that of Byakugan."

Although he hates the fate of the Hyuga family separation, it is obvious that Neji is still proud of his bloodline ability, which is true for every blood family.

At this time, his face showed some anger because of being underestimated by the Byakugan: "Do you want to say that your perception is more powerful than the Byakugan, Uchiha!"

Mana's iconic Uchiha-style clothes and distinctive appearance clearly made Neji think of another major ninja clan in Konoha.

Mana said: "This has nothing to do with Uchiha. Are you looking down on me? Don't look at me like this. I have been a jounin for a long time. I am the youngest jounin since the founding of Konoha. The age of promotion is only ten years old, only older than the current one." You’re a year older.”

Mana said these words deliberately and was already prepared for Neji to be completely angered by her.

but……

Neji thought for a moment and then suddenly realized: "You are Mana Uchiha!"

In recent days, Uchiha Mana's name has been a hot topic in Konoha.

Not to mention her legendary experience of traveling through time, for ninjas, her strength is even more important.

At present, most of Mana's missions outside are teamed up with the root ninja. The other ninjas in the village have not yet had the opportunity to see her fight in person, but judging from the difficulty and efficiency of Mana's recent missions, at least everyone agrees with her. The lowest strength has reached the level of jounin.

Or, her strength is top notch even among jounin.

Such a genius who appears suddenly and bears the surname "Uchiha", the Hyuga clan must pay attention to it no matter what.

Hyuga Neji has heard a lot about Uchiha Mana from his tribe these days.

However, Mana rarely interacts with people, at least she doesn't have friends from the Hyuga clan yet, which leads to the Hyuga clan's information about her being relatively superficial.

They can use their Byakugan to inquire in detail, but they can use their Byakugan to spy on people in their own village. If there is no justifiable reason, they will be beaten at least if they are caught, and the Hyuga clan will definitely be embarrassed.

Considering the jounin's sensitivity to other people's eyes and the surname 'Uchiha', the Hyuga clan has temporarily given up on using their Byakugan to gather information.

Neji looked at Mana, it was his first time meeting this legendary genius ninja.

As rumored, he has a typical Uchiha style appearance, but other than that, there is nothing special about him.

Mana asked Neji: "Are you practicing here alone? Don't want to be seen?"

Neji immediately became alert: "What does this have to do with you?"

Mana's voice was soft: "Don't be nervous, I have no hostility. Besides, even if there is something hard to say, as long as it does not harm the village, it is only a matter of the Hyuga clan, and it has nothing to do with me."

Under such a soft and gentle voice, Neji unconsciously subsided the hostility and vigilance in his heart, and even his attitude softened a lot: "You didn't just pass by by chance. What is your purpose?"

"I certainly didn't pass by by chance."

Mana did not deny this: "I came to you specifically."

Neji was confused: "Looking for me?"

Mana is currently the most popular genius ninja in the village, and he... is just a child who has not graduated from the ninja school, and is not even a formal ninja. If there is anything that Mana needs to come to her personally?

Zhenna said: "I have heard about you...or your father. I think we should be able to understand and support each other."

When the matter of Hinata and Hizashi was mentioned, Neji's newly calmed emotions began to get agitated again. Mana noticed his clenched fists and sighed: "You don't have to do this. I have no intention of persuading you to let go of the past."

"Because I also hate the so-called clan and branch system, and I also hate the caged bird. This is one of the reasons why I came to you."

Mana said: "I want to liberate the Hinata family, so the caged bird is a problem that must be solved. Now you should have been engraved with the mark of the caged bird, right?"

Neji subconsciously wanted to cover his forehead. He raised his hand halfway before he remembered that his forehead was wrapped in a bandage and he couldn't see the ugly pattern at all: "What on earth do you mean?"

Zhenna said: "For me, you are the only one I am sure of. I have no good impressions of either the caged bird or the clan, and even if I say these words to you, I don't need to worry about your informant... Although I don't care much about Hinata. Will the Hyuga clan know about this, but I want to tell them myself, as it can easily lead to misunderstandings if others tell me. I don’t want the Hyuga clan to think that I have bad intentions.”

Neji snorted: "Based on what you just said, doesn't it mean you have bad intentions?"

Zhenna looked innocent: "It's not a bad thing to abolish the family separation system and the caged bird. How can this be called malicious?"

Neji: "..."

He felt that the other party did not understand what he was talking about.

"Don't think about it, your claims are simply impossible! This is fate, we - what are you doing!"

He suddenly waved away Mana's hand stretched out to his forehead, and even took a step back.

Zhenna said: "Look, it's not that you don't care. If you really accept that this is an irreversible fate, you won't be so disgusted with that thing on your forehead. You hate it because you know It’s unfair and you want to fight back... you just can’t.”

Neji pursed his lips tightly. He didn't want to speak, and he didn't dare to speak. He was afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would pour out all the unspeakable words in his heart.

No, that can never be the case.

Mana said: "I just want to help you, not just you, but also the Hyuga clan, or the entire Konoha."

Neji's face turned even paler, and he took another step back uncontrollably: "Shut up!"

"You are afraid, not of me, so what are you afraid of?"

Neji took a step back, and Mana took a step forward until Neji leaned against a thick tree with no way out.

"Ningji, what I want to do is to be called impossible. It may not sound realistic, but this is the difference between me and them. Just like some ninjas became the first Hokage, and some... never deserve to be Praise in the name of the strong.”

Neji lowered his eyes and did not look at her: "They said you are the disciple of the First Hokage..."

Mana nodded: "I am, so whether it is the separation of the Hinata family or the caged bird, this is what I should complete. Although it is late now, it will always come."

Neji took a deep breath: "You are telling me these things without a purpose. What do you want me to do?"

From Neji's point of view, he had almost no other choice if he wanted to survive.

After hearing such a secret, if he didn't agree to join Jinna's camp, he would probably die here today, right?

Even though he is also known as a genius among the Hyuga clan, there is obviously a difference between a genius who has not even graduated from a ninja school and a genius who became a Jonin at the age of ten.

Zhenna said: "You have nothing special to do. I want to study the caged bird, and... I want to give you some compensation."

Neji finally raised his eyes to look at her. To Neji's surprise, he didn't see any threat in Mana's eyes. There was warmth like the spring breeze in those black eyes that were completely different from his. He originally thought that Mana Wanting him to study the caged bird was the most important purpose, but at this moment, when looking into those black eyes, Neji felt strangely that perhaps for the other person, compensation was the purpose.

Mana said: "Do you mind having a teacher who is only three years older than you?"

Ningci was stunned, barely able to understand the meaning of this sentence, and did not dare to try to understand: "You..."

Mana said: "I think that as my disciple, it may be of some help to your situation. Moreover, this is also my promise to you. I will definitely change the current Hinata!"

Neji could not have any doubts about her words, because when she said this, there was a bright and charming light in her eyes.

Like a star that brings hope.

Mana blinked and stretched out his hand to Neji: "If you don't object, I will visit the Hyuga clan leader as soon as possible. I still have some things to say to him."

Neji held her hand: "Yes."

After having Hyuga Neji, Mana's future team will have two members. According to her plan, the remaining ones should be ninjas from small families or civilians.

There is no need to worry about this. After all, unlike the blood successor family with clear abilities, finding a suitable disciple among small families or civilian ninjas depends more on luck.

Before starting negotiations with the Hyuga clan, Mana felt that he should add some more capital to himself.

The tasks she has done recently may be enough to prove her strength for ordinary ninjas, but if she wants to be qualified to talk to the Hyuga clan leader...especially if it is certain that the other party has met Danzo, Mana needs it even more. Give the other party some shock.

That would require a very difficult task, and at the same time it would be enough for her to show her strength.

Mana already had plans for this.

The next day, when Mana arrived at the office of the Hokage's small building, Uchiha Itachi also came with two former root ninjas. At present, they have officially transferred to the normal ANBU team and are led by Uchiha Itachi.

The Anbu who came were a pair of brothers, the elder brother was named Nobu, and the younger brother was named Saai.

Of course, these are just code names, and Danzo will not give the tools names, but after Mana took over, this was their official name, and they also got the official household registration, and this name was also written on the household registration.

Zhenna smiled when she saw them: "How are you doing lately?"

From time to time, she would care about the lives of these former root ninjas.

The letter said: "We are all fine. The meatball restaurant you recommended last time is delicious."

"You've already been there!"

Mana said happily: "I told you before, that must be the best meatball shop in Konoha!"

Uchiha Itachi said: "Mr. Mana, the mission you mentioned before..."

Mana suddenly realized: "Yes, there is still business. Speaking of which, among the three ninjas, Tsunade and Jiraiya are currently in the village. I think it is time for the remaining one to come back."

Uchiha Itachi's expression suddenly became serious: "You mean Orochimaru?"

Mana nodded: "After all, he is a rebellious ninja in Konoha. It would be inappropriate to let him go like this, right? I have heard that he has accumulated a lot of wealth recently and even plans to build a small village."

This information was obtained from Danzo.

Although it is a bit surprising that Danzo and Orochimaru are connected, it is not unreasonable, and Mana is too lazy to comment on it.

She just kept in touch with the rebellious ninja in the village. After going through Danzo's dark history, she could no longer be surprised by any bottomless things Danzo did.

Uchiha Itachi frowned and said: "Orochimaru's strength is not comparable to that of ordinary rebel ninjas. This is one of the reasons why Konoha has not taken any action against him in these years."

Mana said: "I don't think he is stronger than me. I mean, if he is indeed at the same level as Tsunade and Jiraiya, then he will never be stronger than me unless he can break through this limit. Going to another realm, but even then... I still have the flying thunder god technique."

Even if there is an accident, in terms of running ability, Fei Lei Shen is the best in the world!

What's more...

"That is the rebellious ninja of the village. There is absolutely no reason to let it go. Now he wants to build his own ninja village? If Konoha doesn't respond to this, he will become the laughing stock of all the villages. The five major ninja villages This is probably the joke of the year."

Uchiha Itachi knew that she was determined and sighed in his heart: "Then do you need me to accompany you?"

"No," Zhenna said, "I will deal with him myself, and I do have other things to do."

Uchiha Obito, it's time to go and see what's going on.

Uchiha Itachi felt that she was doing it for the Hyuga clan. He also understood that even if Mana had paid so much for the Hyuga clan, the Hyuga clan would not be grateful to her, just like Uchiha Fugaku also believed that Uchiha Mana must have Just like the conspiracy, if the family separation system and the caged bird are attacked, the reaction of the Hyuga clan will probably be even more intense.

Would Mana not understand something like this that even he could easily think of?She must understand.

Uchiha Itachi asked: "Why on earth...why do you want to do this?"

Mana thought of Uyashiki Yōya and couldn't help but show a warm and loving smile: "Because I think you are all my lovely children, and I should love you like a father."

Itachi: "...?"

On the other hand, Sai on the side said without hesitation: "Dad!"

Itachi: "..."

Danzo, what did you teach them before?
