Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

"This……"

Neji was stumped by the question.

He had considered the former, but never the latter.

Leaving Konoha?

He didn't hate Konoha; it was home to many of his cherished companions, teachers, and friends who had helped him.

For example, Chiba.

Although the gap between them widened over time, making Neji feel somewhat ashamed and embarrassed to get closer, he was still very grateful to Chiba.

Thinking of this, he shook his head: "At most, I just want the Zong family to pay the price and make them understand that weak policies cannot bring lasting hope."

"Oh?"

“In the past, I was just angry and resentful as a victim of being a caged bird, but now I understand more and more that it is not only the branch family that is imprisoned in the cage, but also the main family.”

Neji shared his thoughts.

The branch family members were imprisoned due to the cursed seal, while the main family members were indirectly imprisoned due to the "byakugan" (white eye).

They were not allowed to go to the battlefield and rarely participated in combat.

How can a flower grown in a greenhouse, no matter how strong, possibly withstand a storm?

Neji now...

I have utter contempt for the Japanese football team!

"Give me ten years, and I can defeat a clan head like Hiashi without him needing the curse seal and me needing the Byakugan, without any effort!"

Neji was extremely confident.

Chiba narrowed his eyes. He had rarely been in contact with Neji during this period, but there was no doubt that he had become more confident and was gradually understanding his direction.

perhaps.

He had the opportunity to become a completely different Hyuga clansman.

It's such a shame to get rid of the whites of my eyes.

"So you want to take charge of the Hinata's future?"

"..."

Neji was stunned once again.

He hadn't considered it, but after Chiba asked him that question, he felt that his behavior was similar to that kind of thing.

After thinking for a while, Neji nodded.

Chiba narrowed his eyes: "Do you know the principle behind the caged bird?"

"It seems to be a technique that works on the brain."

"No, it's not just that. This technique not only affects the brain, but also the spiritual level. In other words, it may still exist even if you die."

Chiba wasn't exaggerating or trying to scare Neji.

In the anime, Hizashi, resurrected through Edo Tensei, still carries his tragic caged bird form.

Neji opened his mouth, and was immediately stunned.

He didn't expect...

This technique also involves the spiritual level.

Instantly, his fist hardened.

"So, there's absolutely no way to remove it?"

"For me, the brain is simpler, but the mind is more difficult. Although I have a way, I can't just use you as an experiment, so I need you to decide for yourself."

Chiba said seriously.

Neji knew that what followed was crucial, but he raised his hand to stop Chiba.

"Chiba, I'm very grateful for your help, but this has gone beyond the scope of friendship. What if the Hyuga clan finds out..."

He gritted his teeth, stood up, and said, "Let's just forget about it!"

Neji didn't want to put Chiba in a difficult position.

Helping him escape the caged bird trap will lead to an irreversible war when the Hyuga clan finds out.

By then, both Chiba and Konoha will suffer huge losses.

A smile appeared on Chiba's face.

Neji would make such a decision...

He is very happy.

At least he didn't take his help for granted.

"I'm helping you, not just because of friendship, but also because you can help me."

Chiba said seriously, "Neji, the ninja world may seem calm on the surface, but there are undercurrents. I need to train some people in advance to prepare."

"You can't solve it either?"

Neji was very surprised.

Chiba could easily defeat Orochimaru, and I heard that the Raikage treated him with great respect when he came to Konoha. There shouldn't be many people in the world who can rival him.

"There is an Akatsuki organization..."

Chiba gave a brief overview of the Akatsuki organization.

Neji didn't feel anything at first, but after hearing Itachi's name and comparing it with the others, he immediately had a clearer understanding of the Akatsuki members.

Everyone is at Itachi's level!

This kind of enemy is indeed very terrifying.

"There's no smoke without fire. I don't really believe such a large organization can exist without any background."

"That's true, but what can I do?"

Neji was very suspicious.

Compared to his peers, he was indeed a genius, but his opponents were all characters comparable to the level of the Five Villages' Shadow.

The gap is too big.

“Recently, while treating Kimimaro, I discovered an interesting phenomenon: his body and the first generation of cells are in a state of both fighting and fusing.”

Chiba said, "Also, the Hyuga clan and the Kaguya clan should have split off from the same family a long time ago, right?"

"I don't know. I only know that the main family visits the Land of Water every now and then."

"My conjecture is also based on this point."

Chiba's expression turned slightly serious. "The combination of the Corpse Bone Pulse, the Byakugan, and the First Generation Cells, could it create a rather unique enhancement?"

"..."

Neji's eyes widened.

Chiba's plan was even more outrageous than he had anticipated.

Veins of the corpse, primary cells.

Each of these was something he had never imagined before, but the other party wanted to combine them into himself.

If it could really be done...

If I can't become stronger, I'll be a complete idiot.

Neji took a deep breath, then stood up and bowed deeply.

"Chiba, if there's anything you need in the future, just tell me, and I'll do anything for you, even if it kills me!"

"Don't rush, this thing is dangerous."

"It's alright. Even if I die, at least I chose how to die, for the future I envision, not to risk my life for the main family."

Neji smiled brightly, "But without your help, I wouldn't even have had a choice."

Damn, I set the wrong time last night after finishing writing it; I set it for noon.

Chapter 263 Pain: Akatsuki needs to improve too!

"Chiba-kun, I have a question."

"explain."

Although it is only a shadow clone, this shadow clone has just been created, and its thoughts and memories are almost indistinguishable from the original body.

After a moment of excitement, Neji gradually calmed down.

"If what you need is the Byakugan, cooperating with the Hyuga clan is the most suitable option. As long as you have a successful partner, they can provide a group of Hyuga clan ninjas."

"why me?"

Neji voiced his doubts.

Chiba's expression was slightly strange. She glanced at him a few times, and then she roughly understood.

My own problem!

His presence seemed to have made Neji less spirited.

According to Tsunade, the Hyuga clan is quite anxious, fearing that their living space in Konoha will be further squeezed out by the Aburame clan, the Ino-Shika-Cho clan, and the Inuzuka clan.

In the new house, Chiba flipped through some notes left by the second generation.

No matter how strong the eye roll is, it's still just a tool.

At the Konoha Research Institute, anyone who makes a contribution can borrow some basic books for free, including a textbook on sealing techniques.
