Naruto Arrows

"You want to go to the Land of Craftsmen?!"

When he heard Hyuga Neji's request, Hinata Hizu couldn't help but be shocked.

Neither he nor Yokoyama told Neji about the root mission, could it be said. . .

"Ningji, is there still a connection between you, Zhi, and the future?"

This was the first thought that came to his mind.

"Future?! Contact?"

Neji was naturally confused by his question.

"Don't you want to go to the Country of Craftsmen because you will be in the Country of Craftsmen in the future?"

Seeing that his nephew's expression didn't seem to be fake, Rizu couldn't help but become confused.

"Uncle, what happened? Could it be that the future sent news?"

Ningji, who thought it was really the future that had sent the news, still had some excitement on his face.

Although he only did it casually when he rescued the future, and only stayed with the future for less than half a day, he still hoped to see a new life in the future.

"Ningji, why do you want to go to Takumi Country?"

Deciding that he was mistaken about Hiashi, he decided to ask Neji why he wanted to go to the Land of Takumi first.

"The bow I am using now is too weak and is no longer suitable for me, and the bows I can find in Mandiantang are too big and clumsy. Therefore, I want to go to the country of craftsmen to personally find materials and craftsmen to build my own bow. Satisfied bow.”

Neji, who had already made up his mind, opened his mouth to explain.

"Is there no other reason?"

Rizu breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but ask another question.

"What else could be the reason?"

Neji, who felt that Hizu was a little strange from the beginning, couldn't help but frown and asked again.

"Uncle, what happened?"

"Hey, if you didn't come to me today, I would have called you over and told you about this..."

Hizu sighed softly and started to explain to his nephew.

"Danzo really hasn't given up yet?!"

After understanding the ins and outs of all this, Neji couldn't help but look disgusted and worried.

"Oh, the Mangekyo Sharingan, and it's a Mangekyo with that kind of terrifying ability. How could Danzo be willing to do it?"

Rizu twitched the corner of his mouth, not hiding his mockery of Danzo.

"Hengshan told me before that there seemed to be an agreement between you and Mirai, so I wanted to call you over to confirm."

But immediately, Hizu changed the topic, looked at Neji with his eyes, and asked in a very solemn tone.

"Ningji, what do you think is the possibility that the future is actually in the land of craftsmen?"

"More than [-]%."

Neji, who was just joking at the beginning and said it casually in order to have a general goal for the future, felt a little unsure at this time.

After hearing Neji's answer, Hizu's brows immediately furrowed.

Fifty percent, half and half, it doesn't seem like much, but considering the consequences, he has to be cautious.

"I'm sorry, uncle, it was my lack of consideration that caused trouble for you and the Hyuga clan."

Looking at Hizu with his brows furrowed, Neji couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.

After all, this incident was caused by him. Hyuga Yokoyama, who had already been implicated before, was wiping his butt. Hyuga Hizu ignored the Hyuga clan's always low profile and conflicted with Danzo. Now it was more likely to implicate the entire family. He couldn't help but feel uneasy. .

Thinking of the thoughts and remarks about "cutting off" with the Hyuga clan at the beginning, I couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"You are both a member of the Hyuga clan and my nephew. It is natural for me to protect you."

Rizu frowned, shook his head slightly, and replied.

"What we need to consider now is not regret or self-blame, but resolving this crisis as soon as possible."

"Yes, I understand."

Neji took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.

"Then uncle thinks, if I go to the Hokage-sama to request to go to the country of Takumi at this time, will it arouse the suspicion of him and Danzo?"

After he calmed down, he quickly thought of the relationship between his original idea of ​​going to the Land of Craftsmen and this matter, and asked in a deep voice.

"Suspicions are certain, especially Danzo."

In fact, Hizu still doesn't want Neci to take risks. After all, Neci is just a child who is less than eight years old this year.

"But no matter what we do, Danzo's suspicion of us will not disappear. Therefore, the real focus is still on the Hokage."

But since he and Hengshan thought for a long time and couldn't come up with any good solution, the only chance now seemed to be the idea proposed by Neji.

"So, we have to plan carefully."

. . .

"Sandaime-sama, I would like to see the head of the Hiashi clan."

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had just sent away the ANBU team led by Hatake Kakashi, was looking at the streets of Konoha outside the window and smoking a pipe, when he was awakened by the secretary's voice.

"Hyuuga Hinashi?!"

Hearing the name, he was stunned for a moment, and then a shadow flashed in his eyes.

Half a year ago, he believed that Danzo arrested Hyuga Neji because Neji had offended him before, and because of Hyuga Neji's white eyes, even if the mountain wind happened later and used Hyuga Neji to reveal Uchiha Shisui's eyes to him. The secret that was taken away by Danzo, he just felt that Danzo was old and out of his depth and could no longer fully control the roots.

But now it seems that this matter is far from that simple.

"I have seen the third generation of adults."

After Sarutobi Hiruzen was shrouded in green smoke and thinking about the connection between half a year ago and what just happened, Hinata Hinashi arrived.

"Oh, Hizu is here, sit down."

A smile appeared on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face.

"Thank you, Sandaime-sama."

Rizu smiled gratefully and bowed, but did not sit down.

"Sandaime-sama, my subordinates are here today. I have something important to discuss with Sandaime-sama."

"Oh?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen pretended to be surprised when he heard this, but he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Sure enough, after some movement at the base, you Hinata finally couldn't sit still?

"What is it that makes you, the head of the Hyuga clan, make this trip in person?"

He suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and asked pretending to be relaxed.

"Ahem, this, this is a bit embarrassing to say."

Hinata Hizu pretended to be embarrassed and coughed twice.

"Half a year ago, I wonder if the Sandaime-sama still remembers that Neji's child wanted to find a new path?"

"Well, I'm very impressed."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked deeply at Rizu.

"What? But Neji has a new idea?"

"Sandaime-sama's clear warning."

Hizu nodded as if he didn't see his eyes.

"Ningji started practicing bow and arrow when he was five years old. It has been almost three years now. In the past three years, he has made great progress, but this has also caused new troubles."

"What's the trouble?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart moved. He knew that the drama was coming, and he immediately asked like a qualified compliment.

"Because he has made too much progress, the bow in his hand no longer suits him."

When Hiruzen Sarutobi heard this, he immediately thought of the three teams at the root. His mind was spinning rapidly, and soon, a name appeared in his mind.

'The land of craftsmen. '

"Although Mandiantang has tried his best to help him find a new bow, he said that those bows were too big, clumsy and not suitable for him, so,"

Even with his Byakugan, he couldn't penetrate the green smoke in front of him and see through what Hizu was thinking in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

But thinking about the result he had negotiated with Hengshan and Neji, his mind was made up.

"So, he hopes to go to the Land of Craftsmen himself to customize a bow that suits him. But,"

Having said this, he immediately pretended to be embarrassed.

"It's just that our Hyuga clan has never liked to use weapons, and we don't know anything about the Craftsman Country. Therefore, we hope that the Sandaime-sama can issue an A-level mission to escort Neji to the Craftsman Country, and deal with those craftsmen in Ningji. At that time, I was able to have enough insight and means to ensure that Neji would not be deceived by those craftsmen and successfully customize a bow that he liked."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was still sneering in his heart, couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this.

He originally thought that Hinata Hizu came here just to dispel his suspicions, but he did not expect that it would end up like this.

Of course, Hyuga Hizatsu's doing this can indeed dispel the suspicion, but if he completely appoints personnel to "escort" Ningji to the country of Takumi, what other tricks can the Hyuga clan do?

Just for a child like Hyuga Neji who is less than eight years old?

Even though he had seen too many geniuses in his decades of ninja career, he still didn't think this was a funny joke.

'Did I really misunderstand? '

For a moment, he was confused.

"Sandaime-sama? Sandaime-sama?"

"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry. As I get older, my attention is easily distracted."

Looking at the confused Hinata and Hinashi in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen came back to his senses and excused himself with a random excuse.

"Well, I don't know..."

"You can rest assured about this Nizu. There have been many transactions between Konoha and Takunin Village. I will send experienced people to accompany the team."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said and deliberately made a joke.

"After all, we can't let the A-level mission fee you paid go down the drain, right?"

Having said this, his mind changed and he opened his mouth to test again.

"However, if it is escorted by the Hyuga clan, just entrusting a ninja with experience in dealing with the Takumi Ninja Village to do a B-level mission is enough. Why do you need to issue an A-level mission and waste money?"

Hinata Hinatsu couldn't help but feel his heart tightening when he heard the words, and the alarm bells sounded. However, there was a look of embarrassment on his face, and he was vaguely ashamed to speak.

"Sandaime-sama, no, not every Hyuga ninja supports Neji like Yokoyama and I do."

Finally, after a long silence, he threw out such a sentence that seemed full of anguish and unwillingness, but in fact had been crafted for a long time.

And this "complaint" that he had been sculpting for a long time did have the desired effect.

Because as Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, although the constraints in the village were not as great as those of Hinata and Hinata among the Hyuga clan, he was still deeply troubled by them, so naturally he immediately developed empathy with Hinata and Hinata.

It is true that silent and general money is easier to use than people with complicated minds.

"I understand. I will choose the right person today. Can I leave early tomorrow morning?"

Although he had not let down all his guard in his heart, Sarutobi Hiruzen was no longer as vigilant as before.

Especially when he thought about Kakashi Hatake who had just been sent out by him, and the person he had already thought of who was suitable for carrying out this mission.

With these two people here, even if they were jonins from the Hyuga clan, he wouldn't worry about them causing any trouble.

Rather than worrying that Hyuga Neji would cause trouble during this trip to the Craftsman Country, what made him more curious at the moment was how far Hyuga Neji's archery skills had improved.

It was actually possible for the Hyuga clan, which had always been conservative, to spend such a huge price to pave the way for it.

Also, the children of the Hyuga clan who were trained by Hyuga Neji, how far their archery skills have improved, can they bring so much courage to Hyuga Hizatsu, the new head of the family who strives to innovate.

'Perhaps this trip to the Country of Craftsmen is a good experiment. '

"Let Tianzang come to see me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, with thoughts in his mind, walked to the window, opened the window, and exhaled a puff of smoke. The sound was scattered in the wind like smoke.

. . .

Envy, deep envy.

When he heard that Hinata Nene was leaving the village and even leaving the Land of Fire for the Land of Craftsman, Naruto, who was still "jumping up and down" eager to jump to the second grade, drooled with envy on the spot.

However, fortunately, he also knew that this time Neji was doing business, not traveling or having fun, so although he really wanted to go together, he did not resort to it, and just kept nagging in Neji's ears. , asked Neci to bring him a gift, and asked Neci to promise to tell him everything he had seen and heard along the way when he came back.

Compared to the simple Naruto, Danzo in his hometown immediately became excited after hearing the news from his subordinates.

Sarutobi Hiruzen only had suspicions and lacked a lot of key information, but he was extremely sure as early as half a year ago that there must be a close relationship between Uchiha Shisui and Hyuga Neji, and even Uchiha Shisui If you can escape from the Land of Fire, you must have the help of the Hyuga clan.

Therefore, the moment he heard the news, he automatically blocked the reasons reported by his subordinates later, and only one sentence echoed in his mind.

"Uchiha Shisui is in Takumi Country!"

The only thing that made Danzo suspicious was Hiruzen Sarutobi's movements.

A team composed of ANBU elites was dispatched to accept the so-called commission and escort Hyuga Neji to the Craftsman Country.

Could it be that Sarutobi Hiruzen already knew from Hyuga Neji that Uchiha Shisui was still alive? Could it be that he also coveted Uchiha Shisui's other eye? !

When he thought of the Sharingan that was snatched away by Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo couldn't help but feel anger and unwillingness in his heart.

"No, this eye must not be taken away by him again!"
