Kawasaki asked.
"Lord Hizashi is here, please follow me."
"Go and inform them first."
The guard gave an instruction to his colleague and then led Kawasaki inside.
Someone of Kawasaki's status naturally wouldn't let people wait around outside.
Although Kawasaki did not send a prior notice of his visit, everyone knew that he and Hizashi were on good terms, so the guard's actions were not considered overstepping his bounds.
When the guards led Kawasaki into the mansion, Hizashi had already gotten up to greet them.
The sir waved his hand, and the other guards tactfully withdrew, and the surroundings immediately quieted down, leaving only the two of them.
Hizashi led Kawasaki to the study.
"Kawasaki, what's the rush that you're looking for me in the middle of the night?"
Hijiri thought to himself, as the head of a clan, visiting alone late at night must be an extremely important and private matter.
Kawasaki was momentarily speechless at the question, creating an awkward moment, as Hizashi looked serious and earnest.
Should I say that I just came to chat with you casually and take a look at Neji?
Or perhaps we should just propose an alliance, since I might get involved in the affairs of the Cloud Village battlefield.
Kawasaki cleared his throat: "Hizashi, Orochimaru is coming back."
Hizashi wasn't surprised when he heard this: "I was already prepared for the announcement recently made by the Third Hokage."
"Now that Jiraiya has returned to the village and Tsunade is with me, if Orochimaru returns, the Sannin will be reunited."
Although Hizashi didn't know why Tsunade was with the Uchiha clan, he understood that with the three legendary Sannin gathered together, the Third Hokage's strength would be greatly enhanced.
Although Jiraiya and Tsunade are both single, Orochimaru has never lacked followers, and many of his former subordinates in Konoha are still unemployed.
These people are no longer trusted by Konoha because of Orochimaru's betrayal years ago.
They not only had to endure long-term surveillance, but also worried about Konoha's underhanded tactics, so most of them resigned from their posts and stayed at home.
Even if they are willing to accept long-term surveillance, they can only hold less important positions.
"We, the Uchiha, are now independent and can escape unscathed at any time."
Now, only your Hyuga clan remains in the entire Hidden Leaf Village. You and your brother need to make plans as soon as possible.
Kawasaki didn't consult with Nisashi because Nisashi's ideas were often more outdated and conservative.
Because of the influence of caged birds, the daily variation allows for a broader perspective on issues.
Hizashi hadn't considered this possibility; he only felt that Kawasaki's special visit to deliver the message must have been a hint.
Kawasaki, what are your plans?
After all, if Orochimaru returns, the Hokage's side will become stronger, and it remains to be seen whether they will suppress the Uchiha again.
Hizashi was unaware that the Uchiha clan had once cooperated with Orochimaru.
Kawasaki said, "I just saw Jiraiya. Our Uchiha clan might be coming back."
Richa was greatly surprised: "Are we going to move the entire family novel group 37 back?"
Kawasaki shook his head: "How could that be? I still don't know what the Third Hokage is planning. At most, he'll try to get an elder's seat."
"Just a figurehead elder."
"If the Hokage's faction becomes powerful, we may need to support each other."
At this point, Ri Xia nodded.
The strength of the three legendary ninjas was enough to make Kawasaki take them seriously.
After all, power struggles are not like playing chess and exchanging pieces; resorting to violence too easily will only result in mutual destruction and benefit others.
No wonder Kawasaki made this trip in person; he wanted to form an alliance.
He really had to tell this story himself.
Nowadays, the various ninja clans in Konoha, unless they are close to the Third Hokage, are either scattered or have only a few members left.
Over the years, Hizashi has witnessed too many ninja clans disappear for various reasons.
Because of the uniqueness of the Byakugan, the Hyuga clan has always been regarded as the exclusive domain of Konoha, and no one else is allowed to interfere.
However, the Hyuga branch family and main family system, along with the Caged Bird Seal, made it difficult for Konoha to interfere with the Hyuga clan.
This made Konoha both love and hate Hyuga.
In recent years, the estrangement between the Uchiha clan and the village has caused the Hyuga clan to lose its role as a shield.
The Hyuga clan also took full control of the security forces that originally belonged to the Uchiha clan.
The Hyuga clan is facing a more difficult time than they imagined.
The garrison forces are like a quagmire; no matter how hard you struggle, you can't get out.
With heavy military pressure from the outside and internal problems requiring accountability, the situation is dire.
Nichicha now has very little time for spiritual practice, spending most of his time dealing with trivial matters.
If the Uchiha clan could return, even as a nominal elder, it would be a good omen for the Hyuga clan.
Obito, the mastermind behind the recent Nine-Tails attack, has been unaware of his whereabouts since.
As the first line of defense in Konoha, the Hyuga are under immense pressure.
Space-time ninjutsu can easily exploit gaps in patrols.
Changing the subject, Kawasaki asked, "Is Neji with his clan now?"
Risa was taken aback, thinking that was the end of the conversation.
Once he relaxed, he casually replied, "I just happen to be home tonight, and at this hour, I should still be practicing."
1. Kawasaki looked up at the sky. The bright moon hung high in the sky, and it was almost midnight.
"Neji is really diligent, training so late."
Upon hearing this, Neji's lips curled into a smile. Neji was indeed exceptionally talented and had a wonderful personality.
A few years ago, he established a good friendship with Naruto and Sasuke, and they would occasionally eat together after school.
6. Neji graduated this year and became a genin. Although his daily tasks are relatively easy,
7. Neji performed all of them very well, showing great composure.
1 “Let’s go see your son,” Kawasaki said on a whim.
With zero objections, he led Kawasaki toward the training ground.
5. Before even entering the door, one could hear a series of knocking sounds.
5 Neji was spinning around the wooden stake, each palm strike landing precisely on the red mark on the stake.
The action was decisive, the positioning precise, and the applause steady.
Even during training, Neji was extremely serious.
Upon seeing his father arrive, Neji immediately stopped and bowed to him...
"Father."
Neji lowered his head, his gaze unwavering. Even though there were people around Hizashi, Neji didn't ask or look at them much.
Kawasaki frowned slightly; despite Neji's impeccable manners,
Neji was only twelve years old, yet he was so precocious that Kawasaki was filled with admiration.
The Hyuga clan has incredibly strict rules.
"Neji, this is the head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Kawasaki," Hizashi introduced to Neji.
Neji bowed politely to Kawasaki: "Lord Kawasaki."
In his previous life, Neji died without ever receiving Naruto's promise. What will Neji's fate be in this life...?
"Have you mastered the art of turning back the heavens?"
Kawasaki asked gently.
The Rejuvenation Manual is a secret text of the Hyuga main family, and members of the branch family are not qualified to study it.
Naturally, many of those who split up the family lacked the talent to learn how to reverse fate.
Neji's ability to learn the Rejuvenation Technique itself proves his extraordinary talent.
He looked up at Hizashi. Learning how to turn back time was something that had only recently come to him, but he hadn't expected that Kawasaki already knew about it.
Although Hizashi didn't understand Kawasaki's meaning, he still nodded to Neji.
Neji replied, "Yes, Lord Kawasaki, I have already learned it."
"Show it to me."
Neji took two steps back, spread his arms, and released a large amount of chakra from all the chakra points in his body.
With a turn of his feet, his entire body spun rapidly, and chakra formed a semi-circular energy shield.
Kawasaki confirmed that the cutting technique could not penetrate Neji's Resurrection.
This is the death set up by the plot, therefore Neji's death is meaningless.
Kawasaki was disgusted when he saw this.
Even if the cutting technique can penetrate the Rejuvenation Technique, Neji might not be able to activate Rejuvenation.
Naruto at that time had the Nine-Tails and Sage Mode as his foundation, allowing him to sense good and evil.
The clones can take on all the mini-bosses on the battlefield, and the chakra can revive the entire battlefield.
What can such an area-of-effect attack do to him?
Kawasaki didn't believe it.
As it turned out, none of the other weaklings died, except for Neji.
To make matters worse, less than a day after Neji's death, Naruto was praising Obito as the most handsome.
