The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

Just like that, after the Kirigakure incident was over, Cang Si took advantage of the gap when Mei Terumi was blocked by Ye Cang and found an opportunity.

, leaving Otsutsuki Genji's body in Kirigakure.

He himself quietly returned to the Snow Country.

Chapter 727 Cang Si's Heir

After returning to the Snow Country, Cang Si did not stay for long. After saying hello to his father-in-law and fiancée and briefly telling them about his time in Kirigakure, he brought the three little ones back to Konoha the next day.

Of course, the three little ones were quite curious about the fact that their teacher could be the Fifth Mizukage in Kirigakure while preparing to return to Konoha to continue being Hyūga Soji.

And Cang Si did not hide his intentions from them and directly told them that the one left in Kirigakure was just another body he controlled.

In response to this, the three little ones could only nod, not quite understanding.

Afterwards, it took about seven or eight days for Cang Si to return to Konoha with the three little ones, in the name of completing a commission from a wealthy man in the Snow Country.

All in all, it took Cang Si nearly three months to go out!

"Huh, luckily I didn't miss Neji's graduation ceremony!" After completing the task and returning home, Cang Si let out a breath and muttered to himself.

In addition, Ningji completed his original three-month graduation training mission in less than two months.

The conspiracy of the wandering ninja gang that attempted to steal the country was directly seen through by Neji.

After protecting the Daimyo of the Land of Birds and his two children, he even head-on killed the wandering ninja leader Meng Zong who was disguised as a monk!

After receiving the report from the three tomb-robbing team he sent out to protect Ningji, Cang Si understood the specific process clearly.

This also made Cangsi sigh at Ningci's bravery and strategy.

"As expected of my chosen successor, Neji does have such talent. After he graduates, I will immediately enable his Byakugan to evolve!" This was also the decision that Cang Si made in his mind.

In recent times, Neji's purpose of going to school was simply to say goodbye to his student days and to some friends and juniors in the ninja school.

Of course, the top graduate of this year is undoubtedly Ningji.

Although graduation day has not yet arrived, everyone is aware of this.

No one can compete with Ningci!

Many people in the village sighed that Neji was the young Souji.

It’s just a pity that, relatively speaking, no one in Ningji’s generation can compete with him.

This was not the case with Souji's class. Not to mention that Minato was as strong as him, even Kushina and En could put some pressure on Souji.

While thinking about Neji, Souji found that Neji had returned from school.

"Teacher, I have something I want to discuss with you." Kneeling down in front of Souji, Neji spoke hesitantly.

"Oh? The new genius of our Hyuga clan, do you still have any worries?" After taking a sip of tea, Cang Si looked at Neji in front of him and said teasingly.

To be honest, looking at Neji in front of him, Souji was indeed very satisfied.

After the reforms of the Hyuga clan, and with Neji's own teaching over the years, his ideas have long since moved beyond the original idea of ​​only learning traditional gentle fist.

After his mind was liberated, the potential displayed by Neji was absolutely terrifying!

He basically learned the traditional Hyuga clan's soft fist techniques in one go.

Even with the soft fist that was improved by Souji, Ningji has already mastered most of it except for a few specific big moves.

You know, in the original work, Ningji even learned the Eight Trigrams Sixty-four Palms and Kaiten by himself.

From this we can see that his understanding is absolutely top-notch!

In this life, with Cang Si's personal instruction, Neji was almost able to master the 256 palms of the Gentle Fist.

Neji is now able to perform moves like Kaiten without having to rotate his body.

It's just that his body has not fully grown yet, otherwise, the current Ningci would be almost as good as the Ningci during the Fourth War in the original work.

Just talking about the moves he has mastered and the degree of development of those moves, the current Neji is far better than when he died in the original novel.

Therefore, the next step in Neji's training, apart from the evolution of his Byakugan, is to wait for his body to fully grow.

Therefore,

Looking at the heir whose talents have been fully utilized, Souji sometimes can't help but tease Neci.

Just like that, after Cang Si teased Neji, a blush appeared on the other's face.

"Teacher, you're joking. I, a so-called genius, am far behind you!" Neji humbly denied Soji's claim of him being a genius.

If someone else said he was a genius of the Hyuga clan, Neji might have accepted it.

But when facing his teacher, Neji thought he was not that shameless.

After all, his teacher was the pioneer of the Hyuga clan's reform!

He has not made any contribution to the Hyuga clan now, so how can he deserve to be called a genius by his teacher?

And in Neji's opinion, the so-called genius is nothing compared to his teacher.

Yes, Neji’s admiration for Souji now is absolutely fanatical!

This kind of respect, with admiration, has basically surpassed that of his own father.

It’s like, you can scold me, hit me, insult me, but you can never say a bad word about my teacher!

The reason why Neji respects Souji so much now is because he has grown up and understands more.

When he was a child, Neji didn't know what the concepts of main family and branch family were.

In his opinion, everyone is a ninja from the Hyuga clan. Although he calls Hinata "Miss Hinata", he actually treats her as his younger sister.

After all, they are cousins.

But as he grew up, Ningji finally understood the meaning of the title "Miss".

That's the difference in their identities!

Although he and Hinata are cousins, one of them is from the main family and he was supposed to inherit the branch family.

The duty of the branch family is to protect the main family for life.

This kind of status difference can be seen by any discerning person.

At first, Neji didn't quite understand why his teacher wanted him to be the successor and why his father was so moved.

In the past, Neji only regarded Souji as an ordinary teacher worthy of respect and a family elder.

But now, after learning about the history of the Hyuga clan and knowing what the main family and branch family are, he finally understood why his father was so moved.

It is no exaggeration to say that if it were not for his teacher, he would not have received such good treatment in the Hyuga clan in this life!

Becoming a member of the Hyuga clan's main family would allow him to immediately gain access to the family's various resources.

This is definitely impossible if the family is divided.

In addition to this, the most important thing is that by becoming the head of the Hyuga clan, you won’t be cursed with the caged bird mark!

In this way, his life and death will not be controlled by others, but will be completely in his own hands.

Ningji has wondered more than once, what would his fate be now if his teacher had not made him the head of a family?

I guess you would blame others and complain about the unfairness of fate, right?

This was the conclusion that Neji came to himself.

In addition, Ningji also knew that he inherited the identity of the third branch of his teacher's family, so his teacher's future children could only become a branch family.

Neji even thought that the reason why his teacher had not married and had children at such an old age might be because of this consideration.

Well, he is very old, actually 36 years old now, but he looks like he is about or years old. If he knew what Neji is thinking now, he would probably want to beat this kid up, right?

Thinking of this, how could Ningji not respect his teacher?

In Neji's opinion, the teacher lost a lot for him, even not getting married and having children. How could he not be touched?

So, now that Neji has grown up, he respects Souji more and is even fanatical about him.

This kind of respect is even higher than that of his father!

It should be said that both father and son owe the teacher too much!

All I can say is that although Neji has grown up, he hasn't grown up completely yet, so he still doesn't have a very comprehensive view of many things.

With Cang Si's current status and position, to be honest, even if he gets married and has children,

Who would be so reckless as to carve a caged bird for his child?

Regarding this point, Neji, who was still bound by the rules of the Hyuga clan, did not see it clearly.

But no matter what, it can be said that few people can match Neji's respect for Souji.

"Don't be so modest. As your teacher, I have seen your growth, just like how well you completed your graduation training mission this time.

Not only did he protect important people, he also thwarted the enemy's conspiracy, and finally defeated the enemy head-on.

Not many people can do this.”

Souji did not hesitate to praise Neji.

"Ah? Teacher, did you see my graduation training mission this time?" Ningji asked back with a little surprise.

"Of course, how could the teacher not send someone to follow such a dangerous mission? Well, let's not talk about this for now, tell me what you wanted to discuss with me just now?" Looking at Neji's excitement, Cang Si couldn't help but shook his head and laughed.

In addition, seeing the look of worry on Neji's face, Cangsi was also very curious about what was bothering this genius heir?

"Huh, teacher, I don't want to graduate as a Chunin, I hope you can help me!" After struggling for a while, Neji finally expressed his thoughts.

Then, as if to express his apology, Neji knocked his head directly on the floor of the entrance hall of Souji's family courtyard.

However, after expressing his thoughts, Neji felt very nervous.

He was afraid of being blamed by the teacher he respected.

After all, completing the graduation training mission and graduating as a Chunin is definitely an honorable thing, but he was thinking about abandoning this honor, so he was very nervous.

"That's it?" Cang Si asked with a strange look on his face, looking at the nervous Neji.

"Ah? Isn't the teacher angry?" Neji raised his head carefully and asked back.

"Why should I be angry?" Cang Si gave a helpless smile.

Ningji: “…”

This development of things was completely beyond Neji's expectations, making him a little confused.

He didn't expect that the teacher didn't care about this matter!

"Ningji, you have grown up and have your own decisions and ideas. The teacher is very happy. You just gave up graduating as a Chunin. Why should the teacher be angry?

Besides, if you give up on graduating as a Chunin, can't you become a Chunin or even a Jonin in the future?

Or is it that the credit you got for completing the graduation training mission is all fake?"

Souji calmly took another sip of tea and asked Neji who had straightened up again.

In response, Neji shook his head.

How is that possible? In terms of strength alone, he is now more than qualified to be a special jonin, let alone a mere chunin?

"That's it, since you are confident that you can become a Chunin or even a Jonin in the future, what's the harm in giving up the opportunity to jump directly to Chunin now?

I know you have your own considerations and ideas, just do it according to your heart!"

When educating your heir, don't let him be bound by rules.

Souji was planning to train Neji into a person who could stand on his own, but he didn't just want him to be the third heir to a main family that could defend the city.

If that were the case, it would be a waste of Neji’s talent!

"Teacher, thank you, I know what to do!" Calming his mind, Neji once again respectfully bowed to Souji, with his head touching the ground.

At this moment, Neji just felt that he might never be able to repay his teacher's tolerance and teachings in his entire life.

Then, Neji left home, as he needed to visit someone else.

That person was Uchiha Itachi, the principal.

After all, the principal is responsible for such matters.

At this moment, Neji grew again, spiritually.
