Naruto: If I ask you to practice gentle fist, will you drive a Gundam?

"Teacher Jiraiya, and Naruto! Why are you here?"

At this time, Jiraiya and Naruto were standing next to the patrol team. When Neji saw them, he stopped and walked up to greet them.

"Oh! Neji! I have something to tell you."

Before Jiraiya could finish, Naruto said it excitedly:

"Brother Neji! The lecherous sage wants to take us to practice! He also said that he would teach us many powerful ninjutsu! Haha!"

Naruto said as he danced around excitedly.

This was the first time Neji and Naruto met after the Chunin Exam. Although Naruto was knocked out by Neji with one punch during the Chunin Exam, Naruto later defeated Gaara with his own strength and regained some confidence.

Seeing that Naruto never mentioned the Chunin Exam, Neji was also tactful and did not mention it.

However, after hearing what Naruto said, Neji realized that Jiraiya was going to find Tsunade.

In the original work, the process of searching for Tsunade was smooth all the way, and it took about a month to return to Konoha.

Perhaps this time could be used to upgrade the system? Neji thought so.

At this time, seeing Neji, Jiraiya and Naruto in the same frame, the surrounding villagers started talking about it.

"Hey, who is that white-haired, wretched-looking old man? What's his relationship with Neji?"

"Idiot, you don't even know about Jiraiya-sama, one of the Three Ninjas! He is the direct disciple of the Third Hokage! He is said to be the next Hokage!"

"Ah? Really? I take that back. This white-haired ninja is so handsome!"

"And isn't that yellow-haired boy Uzumaki Naruto? He was the one who summoned a giant summoning beast outside the village yesterday!"

"Yes, yes! Such a powerful person lost to Neji in the Chunin Exam. Is Neji really more powerful?"

"Oh! Why think about that? No matter who is stronger, they are definitely much stronger than you and me!"

"That's right, it turns out that the big shots are surrounded by great people!"

. . .

During this period of time, more and more villagers gathered, and not only villagers, but also some ninjas who were on leave due to injuries came out of houses and shops, joined the spectator-eating team, and took on the responsibility of commentary.

Among them are many famous ninjas.

For example, Kakashi, who agreed to train with Sasuke, and Kurenai Yuhi, who came to buy meatballs for Anko but was actually on a date with Asuma Sarutobi, and Might Guy, who stood on his hand on the roof to punish himself for losing to Kakashi in the number of kills in the Chunin Exam yesterday...

These people looked at Neji. This rising star of Konoha had already gained great recognition in their hearts and they were no longer surprised by it.

Gradually the crowd surrounded the three ninjas. Jiraiya and Naruto really enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded and admired. Instead of avoiding it, they posed in various ways facing the crowd. Naruto even confidently shouted his famous saying "I want to become Hokage" to everyone.

However, Ningji was a little different from the master and disciple. At this moment, there was no joy or anger on his face. He just looked at the crowd calmly and seriously.

Because he discovered two unfamiliar chakras.

Since he has lived in the streets of Konoha for many years, he is very familiar with the chakras possessed by most ninjas and civilians in the village. In addition, now that the Chunin Exam is over and the prisoners have been returned after negotiations with the Sand Village, there should be very few foreign ninjas in the village.

However, the two chakras that Ningji discovered were not only unfamiliar, but also extremely powerful!

No, it should be said that one is strange and the other is somewhat familiar.

"Brother Neji! Look, the three of us seem to be very popular!"

Naruto turned around and shouted to Neji, while Jiraiya nearby had already started flirting with some young girls.

But seeing Neci's serious expression, Naruto also changed his expression and looked in the direction Neci was observing.

"Brother Neji, what are you looking at..."

The direction that Ningji was looking at was an ordinary tea restaurant. Under a few dark blue curtains, he could vaguely see two mysterious ninjas sitting in the small shop. They were wearing black cloaks with auspicious clouds, and wearing conical hats, wrapping their bodies tightly.

At this time, perhaps noticing the gazes of Neji and Naruto, the two ninjas slowly put down the teacups and dumplings in their hands and stood up from their seats. One of the shorter ninjas placed a few copper coins and left with his companions.

Ningji recognized them immediately. The duo was the group returning home to visit their relatives, Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame.

The arrival of these two people in Konoha at this time was a sign that the Akatsuki organization was beginning to collect the tailed beasts.

From here on, Naruto officially entered a new chapter.

Of course, the above is the information that ordinary audiences can get after watching Naruto, but Neji is a veteran Naruto fan. He knows that there are deeper reasons why Itachi chose this time to find Sasuke.

That's because on the night of the genocide, the Sandaime and Itachi had an agreement that Itachi would be a spy planted by Konoha in the Akatsuki organization, secretly providing intelligence to Konoha. In return, Konoha would also provide help and care for Sasuke.

But now the Sandaime is dead, and even Danzo is no longer able to do anything. Itachi has no choice but to come and see for himself what has happened to Sasuke.

In the final analysis, I just miss my brother too much.

Neji watched the two of them leave quietly, thinking that there was no need for him to intercept a brother-con who just wanted to see his brother, and besides, the two of them had no intention of causing trouble in the first place.

It is better to have less trouble than more. It is better to turn a blind eye and forgive others when possible, Ningci thought.

But Naruto on the side suddenly shouted out:

"Hey! Those two people over there! They're sneaking around! What are they doing?!"

Naruto's loud voice immediately attracted many villagers to look at the duo. At this time, the two members of the Akatsuki organization who wanted to leave quietly were exposed unreservedly on the crowded streets of Konoha.

"This idiot..."

Ningci said speechlessly, holding his forehead with one hand.

I wanted to pretend I didn't see it and let it go, but the audience attracted by Naruto's shouting would not agree. Looking at this strangely dressed duo, many villagers have begun to discuss:

"Who are these two people? Why are they dressed so strangely?"

"I don't know. He's sneaky! He's definitely not a good person!"

"That's right! The Konoha Guard is here, let them pay the price!"

Sure enough, the enthusiastic Konoha villagers threw these two hot potatoes to him at once.

During this period of time, some Konoha jonin who were previously on the street also noticed the situation here.

Except for Jiraiya who was still flirting with the girl, most of the Konoha ninjas looked at the strangely dressed duo with caution.

The scene suddenly became tense.

"Hey, you're assigning me two members of the Akatsuki organization on my first day as a security guard, right? Great!"

Ningji held his forehead and was glad that he didn't rush to upgrade the system.

Now that I have just broken through to the Kage level, I am at my prime, and I have the Rinnegan and Mangekyō Sharingan with Kage-level pupil power and proficiency, plus the blessing of Otsutsuki's chakra.

"Hey, one against seven, I didn't want you to lose face in front of your family..."

As Neji thought about this, he rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the duo, the corners of his mouth beginning to rise.
