【Naruto】Hyuga Neji’s Beautiful Life

The boy with long dark hair was only wearing a single coat. The cold wind of the twelfth lunar month squeezed into the room through the crack in the door, scratching the boy's skin raw.

But he didn't seem to be in the mood to care about these things at the moment.

The moon hangs in the sky, emitting white light evenly.

"Please wait a moment."

The middle-aged man's hoarse and greasy voice entered the room through the window paper, followed immediately by the man's hurried footsteps and impatient curses.

"Where did that ugly kid die? He dared to do such a thing!"

"It's so ungrateful!"

Neji curled up and hid in the closet in a panic. It was dark and damp here, but the boy didn't dare to leave even a gap for himself. He pulled the closet door tightly and hid himself in the darkness, praying again and again that the man would not discover him.

The wooden floor that had been in disrepair made a "squeak, squeak" sound when stepped on. Neji put his ear against the inside of the closet. Every time the floor made a sound, his heart would beat.

The closet was dark, but even more closed, and with Neji's breathing speeding up, it quickly became difficult to breathe in the small space. Neji covered his mouth hard, and there were red marks on his palms. He wanted so badly to open the closet and take a breath of fresh air, but now was not the time.

Perhaps it was the prayer that had an effect. The footsteps came closer and then became far away. The man walked around but couldn't find it. He was very scared, fearing that the elders would dislike him as an incompetent person.

Neji probably guessed that this man belonged to the type that the Hyuga family didn't turn their back on. He could only gain a place in the clan by pleasing the elders. He was also a "trash" that often appeared in the Hyuga clan's population.

Neji was about to let go of his hanging heart when he heard the elder's voice.

"You go back first."

He laughed happily like teasing a pet and dismissed the man casually.

"You did a good job and you can go back now. Don't worry, I will consider your request carefully."

The elder stretched out the last half sentence and said it word for word, as if he was emotionlessly reading an article he didn't like.

The man was flattered and ran away with panicked footsteps. He seemed to be lamenting today's sudden good luck, promising that it would be better than nothing.

The elder seemed to be standing in front of the door, and it seemed that he could hear his leisurely breathing. After a while, he said.

"Having fun though? But the game of hide and seek ends here."

An indescribable fear engulfed Neji, his mind went blank, and even the darkness in front of him seemed to be spinning.

"Blind eyes!"

The only sound left in the air was the footsteps of the elders stepping on the floor, like strolling in a courtyard.

He stood in front of the closet, reached out and knocked on the closet door as a joke: "Button!"

The next second, the door shattered into countless pieces and scattered.

The elder's wrinkled skin began to fill Neji's entire world. The feeling of suffocation was mixed with fear and pain, and the entire space was distorted.

"Don't be in charge!"

The dream ends here.

"Cough cough!"

Hearing Neji's rapid coughing, the sparrows and herons waiting nearby hurriedly poured water for him. Neji swallowed a few mouthfuls from the heron's hand, barely able to stop the itching in his throat.

Neji seldom dreamed, and the dreams he had as a child were even rarer. This might be the first time. In the past few days, Ningji had been using the Heaven Calculation Technique more and more frequently, and his body was weaker than usual.

Another wave of heart palpitations.

Neji subconsciously covered his chest and took a breath. I don’t know how many times this happened, but I had this kind of premonition that can only be described as “very bad”.

"Young master, are you okay?"

"You don't look very good."

Sparrow held Ningji's back, showing a concerned look, and Heron rarely said many more words. The young man patted the back of the sparrow's hand comfortingly.

"I'm fine..."

"Yesterday you said it was your turn today, right?"

The Hyuga family will send secret pawns to secretly follow the ninjas who leave the village to perform tasks, not to complete the task or to protect their safety, but to serve as internal intelligence and informants for the Hyuga family.

Lord Hokage seemed to know about this matter. Although he did not agree to it openly, he did acquiesce in private.

"You mean, you go?"

Neji nodded at the puzzled heron, and the sparrow was ready to speak out to dissuade him.

"Young Master! Your current body..."

Before he could finish speaking, the heron took out the bird mask that symbolized the identity of the dark soldier, and its slender white beak silenced the sparrow's next sound.

Heron also behaved as usual, and in the next second he formed a seal and used the transformation technique to take on the appearance of Neji.

"You..." Sparrow held his forehead helplessly, unable to speak.

Neji gave a rare smile and did not let the heron change back.

"Thank you."

"This is what I should do."

Whether it is supporting the young master’s decision or believing in the young master.

The target of this mission was Team 7, who was escorting the bridge builder Tazuna to the Land of Waves, and it happened to be a genin team with many familiar faces.

The leading Jonin, Hatake Kakashi, team members, Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, and a girl I have never seen before, according to the intelligence, should be named Haruno Sakura.

Neji didn't change into the form of a heron, or even hide his aura. With his pupil power, it is a simple matter to determine whether there is anyone around and who is around, but when there is Kakashi Hatake and only Kakashi Hatake around, he is not good at it. Transfiguration is nothing more than a laughably poor disguise.

As for the three genin, including Uchiha Sasuke, it is still difficult to detect his existence.

Although these three genin are not very outstanding now, Neji will always have some very strong premonitions when he sees them.

They will become very strong, beyond their current knowledge.

But that will happen in the future, and now there are still three new genin.

The reason why Neji replaced Heron as the dark pawn on the mission was also very simple. It was still the bad premonition that if he didn't come, something would go in an uncontrollable direction, and what was originally a bad thing would become even worse.

The art of calculating the sky is about calculating the sky, looking into the heart, and the path it points to is a premonition. This kind of premonition makes Neji unable to ignore it.

As soon as Hatake Kakashi stepped out of the gate of Konoha Village, his eyes turned to one side and his eyes were slightly curved.

"What's wrong, Kakashi-sensei, what are you looking at?" The yellow-haired boy asked the teacher with a strange mouth habit and squinted eyes.

"Nothing, I'm looking at...a little white bird."

"Where is it? Why didn't I see it?"

Naruto followed Kakashi's line of sight and saw only lush leaves. Where did the white bird come from?
