Soul of Naruto wears Rock Lee

Chapter 68 The person being protected

News of the death of Elder Hyuga spread quickly throughout Konoha, and the Hokage received a notice requiring all ninjas in Konoha, including senior officials, to attend the funeral ceremony.

This move aroused the curiosity of many people. What kind of prestige does this great elder Hyuga have that requires all the ninjas of Konoha to go to mourn?

After Xiao Li, Tiantian, and Metkai received the notice, they collected some information about the Hyuga clan.

"I heard a while ago that Neci and the great elder of the Hyuga clan went on a trip, and the great elder Hyuga passed away just after they came back. Could it be related to Neci?"

When Tiantian raised this question, the two of them couldn't help but worry. With Neji's character, they were really afraid that the old man would be killed by him midway.

"It shouldn't happen. Tomorrow is the funeral. If you see him at the funeral, it can basically prove that the death of Elder Hyuga has nothing to do with him."

At the funeral the next day, except for the ninjas, Xiao Li found Shimura Danzo hiding in the corner with a bandage on his right hand.

"It seems that the identity of this great elder Hyuga is not simple, even Danzo, who is hiding in the darkness of Konoha, is participating."

Tiantian suddenly came to him and said happily: "I found Ningji. He is in the corner over there. Why don't we go over and say hello to him? We haven't seen each other for almost two months."

Xiao Li followed the direction pointed by Tiantian and found Ningci's figure. He shook his head and said, "Just make sure it has nothing to do with him. Don't disturb him now. I believe he will be back soon."

After hearing what Xiao Li said, Tiantian had no choice but to give up.

In the two months since Neji left, the three masters and apprentices were always paying attention.

The last news we got from Hyuga was that Neji and Elder Hyuga were traveling far away.

After the funeral, Ningji spotted Xiao Li and the other three. He nodded and followed the clan members directly back to their family.

"Lord Hokage, the Hyuga clan has returned."

The Sandaime stood in front of the Hero Monument, took out a Japanese drinking bottle from his arms, poured wine on the ground, and sighed: "The people of that era are all gone. He is the only senior who has witnessed chaos and stability. Without his determination and Desire for peace, it’s hard to imagine Konoha’s current situation, he has paid too much for Konoha and Hinata.”

Moonlight Hayate coughed twice and asked in confusion: "Lord Hokage, is this senior really a person who has survived from the Warring States Period to this day?"

The Sandaime shook his head: "No need to ask, let's go back."

The Hyuga family held an emergency meeting after the funeral.

"It's time for Rizu to talk about it. Why did the great elder suddenly pass away?"

Hinata Hinashi looked around at the six people present and said, "Come in."

The door opened and Neji walked into the room, knelt on the ground and looked at the six Hyuga elders present.

"Let me tell you."

The second elder shouted angrily: "This is the highest meeting in the clan. When will it be your turn to interrupt, I still suspect that you are the murderer of the first elder!"

"Second Elder, it's up to Neji to explain this matter. Put your anger away first."

Without waiting for the second elder to speak, Hinata Hinashi said to Ningci: "I saw your arrangements in the last words of the great elder. The things behind this, the great elder hopes that you will explain to us, Ningji, tell the whole story. Let’s make it clear to everyone.”

Recalling the old man's instructions, Neji organized his thoughts and explained them one by one.

"The great elder was not killed, but died of exhaustion after fighting with his family."

When these words came out, everyone was confused and confused. Who is this family member referring to?

"Ningji, let's be clear, my family? Who is this family?"

The one who urged was the Sixth Elder.

Neji did not explain directly, but said: "Because the following news will subvert your understanding, I am ready to be tested by you to see if I am lying. The great elder has considered this and asked me to advise you. What I will tell you today What you say must not be known to other tribesmen, otherwise your memory will be erased and you will be expelled from the family."

"Bastard, what qualifications do you have to negotiate terms now? If you dare to tell a lie, I will be the first to kill you!"

The second elder is still hot-tempered. Since the death of the first elder, his mood has been in a low state. Everyone who knows his character does not blame him. The death of the first elder is the most uncomfortable for the old man in front of him.

"Second Elder, everyone can understand your feelings, but please let Neji finish his words first."

Hinata Hinata reminded the old man politely, and the old man seemed to realize that there was something wrong with him, and sighed: "Xiao Neji, please tell me, I'm rude."

"Neji can understand the elder's mood."

Next, Neji told everything about what he saw and heard and what the great elder had told him.

Under the gaze of eight pairs of white eyes, if Neji told a lie, he would be caught out.

But throughout the whole process, no one could hear any lies. What shocked them even more was that there were such amazing secrets surrounding their family.

"In other words, it was someone from my family who killed the great elder?"

The second elder looked ferocious and gritted his teeth and growled.

"Everyone, Neji has told you what happened. Next is the content of the suicide note left by the elder, which needs to be explained to you."

Hinata Hinata said.

A meeting lasted until late at night, and the six elders left, leaving only Neji and Hinata Hizu.

"Ningji, the great elder asked me to cooperate with you in his suicide note. Can you tell me the true purpose of the great elder now?"

Neji nodded, took out a seal scroll, unlocked the seal inside the scroll, and a black box flew out.

Neji handed the box to the other person.

"The box was prepared by the great elder in advance. He predicted that his death was coming and left this relic specially."

Hinata Hizu looked at the box and wondered why.

"What's in there?"

"The great elder's reincarnated eye."

Hinata Hinashi's hands were trembling and he almost couldn't hold the box steady.

"The great elder dug out his eyes before he died and asked me to hand them over to you. Currently, you are the only one in the Hyuga clan who has the ability to control the reincarnated eye. In order to cope with the revenge that may come at any time."

Hinata tightened her neck and stroked the box, her heart filled with sadness. The elder was thinking about Hinata's safety until his death.

"What's your plan next?"

"The purpose of my family is to reincarnate. I don't know when they will come to trouble us. I will resume my daily practice starting tomorrow."

"it is good."

Neji stood up and left. Hinata and Hizu's eyes were filled with sadness. He grabbed the box in his hand and murmured, "Don't worry, Great Elder, Hizu will do whatever it takes to protect the family!"

Back in the room, Neji lay on the floor, his eyes filled with tears. What he said was just one of the truths. The person who really killed the elder was actually himself.

He was lucky enough to open the reincarnation eye during the joint match against Karui. It was his reincarnation eye that attracted his family members on the moon. The elder found out that he had inspired the reincarnation eye and immediately re-sealed the caged bird for himself. The caged bird could precipitate his blood. , even my family members can hardly detect it.

Because of his unintentional initiation, the Great Elder had to use himself as bait to attract his family members to turn their target towards him.

The great elder is protecting himself, and even more so, he is protecting his eyes from being robbed by his family!

Rather than saying that the Great Elder died in battle, it would be better to say that he died to protect himself!
