Leaf Village.

Yamanaka's flower shop.

Sakura opened the store door and walked in slowly.

In the flower shop, various bouquets are arranged everywhere in a very professional manner.

They are generally arranged based on color, smell, and shape. In short, Sakura doesn't know much about the details. After all, she hasn't learned flower arrangement for a long time, and the knowledge of flower arrangement has long been returned to the teacher.

"Sakura, why are you here?"

Ino was helping in the store at this time. After seeing Sakura push the door open and come in, she quickly stepped forward and asked.

"Aren't you going to help Sasuke and Naruto train together?"

"Naruto has gone somewhere. He has disappeared for two days. As for Sasuke, he is in special training with Kakashi-sensei. I can't help him."

Sakura spread her hands. Staying in their special training place for a long time was not good for her skin, so she didn't want to go.

"Besides, I also want to practice myself."

"Oh?"

Ino asked happily after hearing this.

"Are you here to practice with me?"

"No, you think too much."

Sakura replied without emotion, and then began to look at the flowers.

"Speaking of which, Ino, what kind of flowers would be better to choose when visiting a patient?"

"Huh? Who's hurt?"

Ino asked with some confusion, but still quickly selected a bouquet of gypsophila and gave it to Sakura.

"Xiao Li, he saved my life in the Forest of Death."

Sakura took the baby's breath and sniffed it gently. It was not bad.

"Later, I was beaten so badly by Naruto, so I still have to go and visit."

"He asked for it!"

Ino also realized at this time that Sakura told her a little bit about what happened in the Forest of Death, but most of them were complaining about what Naruto said when he rescued her.

"Obviously you all know him, and he still uses that kind of ninjutsu, which is Naruto. If it were anyone else, wouldn't he be sent to the hospital?"

Ino curled her lips indifferently, then looked at Sakura with bright eyes.

"Speaking of which, does Naruto have a girlfriend?"

"Ah?!"

Sakura was startled when she heard this, she really jumped back, and then asked warily.

"What do you want?!"

"What do you want to do with such a big reaction! Sakura, you already have Sasuke, do you still want to take it all?!"

Ino stared at Sakura with an unhappy expression, and then quickly changed to an excited expression.

"Although Naruto is a little worse than Sasuke, that's just a problem with his personality. As long as he becomes calmer under my training, he will still be a very good and high-quality resource!"

"We are sisters, you can't help me, right?"

"Uh……"

Sakura was a little embarrassed when she heard this. She didn't know why, but she always felt very reluctant for others to get involved with Naruto. It didn't matter if she liked it or not, it was just that little girls liked that the person who cared about him the most was themselves, and Sakura was no exception.

Apart from anything else, if Naruto suddenly ignored her because of another woman, Sakura felt that she would be very disappointed by then.

She looked at Ino up and down and said helplessly.

"If you have the confidence to be better than Miss Nishikawa Kasumi."

"Who is Nishikawa Kasumi?" Ino shook her golden hair confidently.

"Is she even prettier than this beautiful girl?"

"The owner of Kasumiya Bookstore and the noble daughter of the Nishikawa family, her appearance and figure are all superior to yours."

Sakura said expressionlessly.

"Yes, she is the kind of super rich woman and beautiful girl whose 100 million taels can only be regarded as pocket money instead of savings."

"So what?! Emotional matters can be measured with money!"

Ino swallowed her saliva and said without confidence.

"It's up to you."

Sakura shook her head speechlessly, then turned and left, leaving Ino indulging in fantasy.

"Chaos! You didn't give me any money!"

When Ino heard the sound of the door being pushed, she immediately reacted and chased out angrily.

……

In a small forest on the outskirts of Konoha.

Under a huge old tree, there is a darkroom of about twelve or thirteen square meters.

The secret room was very small and the facilities were very basic. It only had some supplies of food and water, a wooden bed and a small amount of daily necessities.

This is Hyuga Neji's secret base, and the layout is just like his character, simple and lonely.

At this time, a week has passed since the qualifiers.

His injuries have also completely recovered.

Other than that, he only occasionally showed up when he returned to his clan to prove that he was not missing.

I spent almost all the rest of the time in this secret room.

"That person shouldn't lie to me. If he wanted me to die, there would be no need for him to say those unnecessary words to me."

Hyuga Neji sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at the tube of dark liquid under his Byakugan.

If his guess is right.

This tube of liquid should be some kind of serum, not poison.

Combined with what the scary person said, it should be some kind of genetic serum that can make people 'evolve'.

I just don’t know what the serum is.

Things at the genetic level have a very high degree of uncertainty. Hyuga Neji actually doesn't know much about this kind of knowledge. Most of it was accidentally seen in the ninja school.

As for why he saw these things, it was simply because as the chief ninja school of his generation, he had already finished studying the contents in the textbook.

This medical knowledge was also acquired by him in order to more accurately grasp the weaknesses of the human body.

"Once injected with this unknown gene, if everything goes well, you will indeed become another 'person', but the risk is also very high, ranging from unknown alienation of the body to direct gene collapse and death."

"Moreover, the process can be foreseen and must be very painful."

life and death.

Confinement and freedom.

What is true freedom?

Is it beautiful or cruel?

Maybe when I am strong enough, I will get the answer.

No matter how much the little bird in the cage understands about freedom, it is just imagination.

What I seek is... true freedom.

and so.

Didn't hesitate too long.

Now his body and mind have reached their peak state.

So!

Hyuga Neji was heartbroken. From the perspective of Byakugan, he pierced the needle of the genetic serum in his hand directly into his heart, and then slowly injected the serum completely.

Ho,, ah——! ! !

Almost at the same time, Neji, who didn't even frown when the needle pierced his heart, began to cry out in pain.

But he had already anticipated the painful situation, and had put on special braces to prevent him from biting his tongue due to pain.

Just obviously.

This pain was still a bit beyond Neji's expectations.

"It's not time to faint yet."

Neji endured the pain that exceeded the human stress response, and before the genetic medicine spread all over his body, he raised his hand little by little and began to form seals.

【Earth Dungeon·Earth Clone】

I saw an earth clone that looked the same as Neji emerging from the ground.

Then, Neji directed the sluggish earth clone to pierce the nutrient solution on the side into his arm, and then tied himself tightly to the bed to prevent him from dying by his own hands or starving due to some boring accident.

"free……"

The pain continued to increase, to the point where Neji's consciousness could no longer feel the pain.

I don't know how long it took, but Neji only saw that his vision suddenly shattered into several pieces, just like his eyes were broken, and finally fell into darkness completely.
