Chapter 91

One week later, the village gradually fell into calm.

But what has happened cannot be changed, and the wheels of history that have moved forward will not stop turning.

Hokage office.

Third Generation came out of the ward, and his injury has not healed completely, but as Hokage, it must be impossible to lie down in the hospital. In order to “stabilize the morale of the army,” he also had to sit in his office.

Neji was standing in front of him at this moment, reaching for the papers on the table.

This is the proof of his promotion to Chūnin and the commendation book for his performance during the Orochimaru Rebellion.

“This time only you and Shikamaru became Chūnin.” Third Generation said, “You both have flexible minds and are very scarce talents in the village. In fact, with your current strength, Neji, it is enough to be promoted to Jōnin… But you After all, his qualifications are not enough, and the tasks he has done are too few.”

“clear.”

Unless it is during the war when everything is simplified, Jōnin’s promotion process is still more troublesome. There are a certain number of tasks to be done, Hokage’s inspections, and Jōnin exams to be passed.

“As for what you said before, I want to join Anbu…” Third Generation crossed his hands and paused for a while. “It’s better to slow down this matter first.”

“…”

Slowly?

Neji was a little surprised, but then it occurred to him that it was probably a beating on him.

Regarding what he did in the family, even though the village chose to remain silent in the end, it was impossible to say that there was no opinion.

Moreover, he was also thinking about one thing these days, that is, he killed the elder, and the high level of the village remained silent. Then when he really finds a way to disarm Caged Bird, will the village still remain silent?

Now he is only relieved by himself, and the impact is still not great. Moreover, he is strong and has the ability to protect himself, and the high level of the village will not worry that he will be easily taken away by the enemy and steal his eyes.

But……

If one day, all the branch houses are disarmed of Caged Bird, then… the stealing of Byakugan by the hidden villages of other countries is destined to happen.

And this is definitely something the village leaders don’t want to see.

Thinking of this, Neji felt an invisible resistance surrounding him.

He knows very well that now the high level of the village can tolerate him, but when he really wants to take that step, I am afraid he will not be able to tolerate it anymore.

Unless, at that time, he could have the capital that would make the senior villagers “tolerate if they didn’t want to tolerate it”.

This capital is more than just power…

It is not enough to have power alone, and a certain degree of discourse power and public opinion influence of the Master must be required. Otherwise, when your own image is at your disposal, you will be a hero when others need you. When you don’t need it, you can be turned into a scum, a traitor… or even a public enemy in minutes.

So Neji didn’t say much, and said indifferently: “Let’s do it.”


“Um……”

Third Generation looked at Neji. Although he had experienced a lot of things at his age, he still couldn’t see through the boy he was a year ago.

A person who is rebellious or uncontrollable is not terrible, but a person who cannot see through is terrible.

For example, Orochimaru, although his research is very anti-human, but his purpose is so simple and straightforward, but it doesn’t make people feel terrible. On the other hand, some people who may not have done terrorist acts are even more worrying, because they don’t know what they want to do, and when the security is not in place, a big one will come, and people will be caught off guard.

Neji belongs to the latter.

Third Generation’s worries about him are justified.

Coming out of Hokage’s office, Neji was walking on the road. Villagers would recognize him from time to time and greet him cordially.

His appearance is quite recognizable, with a white robe and long black hair, which is a more individual image… But since he showed outstanding performance, many children now imitate his dress, and occasionally he can be seen from the street. I saw several children playing in white robes, some dressed as Neji and some dressed as Sand Shinobi.

Neji is still very happy about this, which shows that he is very popular.

But he didn’t get too complacent, because he knew that the human heart is fickle. Soon after the battle is over, the villagers are still impressed. After a while, they will gradually forget…

Later, if someone wants to engage him, as long as he publicizes what he is doing in the family and deliberately guides it, then those villagers who have liked him may become disgusted with him… think that he kills his fellow clan and kills. Elders… From a hero to a cold-blooded executioner, it’s just a moment’s away.

“Anyway… I have to prepare for the worst.”

Neji took a deep breath. He knows that the road he has to walk is very difficult and there are many obstacles, but this is his choice.

He can go with the crowd and don’t care about anything. Only Isshin cultivates. In the future, he will help Naruto defeat the villain, be the elder of the family steadily, instruct the juniors, find beautiful women to live, and enjoy the blessings of the same people from now on.

But this is not what he wants.

Neji came to the training ground and both Tenten and Xiao Li were there. The latter had just been discharged from the hospital, and now he can’t do high-intensity training, only doing some recovery training.

Tenten was still studying his own space flow ninjutsu, and when he saw Neji coming over, he also expressed his congratulations when he learned that he was promoted to Chūnin.

“Great Neji! Shall we go to dinner after training? Celebrate!”

“sure.”

“Neji, you are already Chūnin, that’s amazing! It seems that I have to work harder!” Xiao Li is also happy for Neji, and at the same time, he also motivates himself.

“Okay, let’s train.”

“Um!”

These days are busy, Neji’s training has fallen a little bit.

He knew that he was no longer what he was like before.

Now, many people have noticed him, and a lot of attention is focused on him… He must ensure that the speed of becoming stronger cannot be slow, and only in this way can he protect himself.

Neji spent the whole day in training.

He is now accumulating and preparing to upgrade Byakugan’s energy bar. Upgrading requires a hundred tubes, which is quite a lot. Now, with diet and training every day, the limit is about 6 tubes a week. At present, the remaining energy bars total 40 tubes.

In other words, to save up to 200 tubes, it is still 160. Assuming that the limit is 6 tubes per week, it will take about 26 weeks, 6 or 7 months.

In the past, Neji didn’t think half a year was long, but now it’s different… Now it’s time pressure for him.

This pressure comes from all sides, the village, the family…

Yes, there is pressure on the family side. Now everyone supports him, yes, but why do you support him? Is it all because of his charisma? Still domineering?

Maybe some really admire Neji, but more because Neji can help them disarm Caged Bird.

A person can “control” a person, and there are basically only two possibilities: one is that this person wants you, and the other is that this person is afraid of you.

There are a lot of branch houses asking for Neji, but this “request” is not indefinite… Neji promised to help them disarm Caged Bird, when is that? Tomorrow, next week, next month, next year?

If there is no exact time, the branch house people will only gradually lose confidence… and gradually become dissatisfied with Neji, thinking that what he said doesn’t count at all.

Therefore, Hanabi promulgated the family rule of “not allowing the clan to urge the clan to punish the branch house”, which bought a lot of time for Neji.

“The energy bar… is there a way to speed up the acquisition?”

After training is over, after having a celebratory dinner with Tenten Xiaoli, and walking on the way home, Neji thought.

At present, there are only two ways to obtain crimson energy, that is, eating and training.

In terms of training, we have reached the limit, so we can only start from eating… Now Neji has eaten the best and most supplementary food every day within the scope of the conditions, how can we improve?

“If only I could make a Chakra fruit like Kei Yoruichi, it would have a lot of energy.” Neji couldn’t help thinking. He naturally knew this was nonsense, but this suddenly gave him an idea.



Wait, Chakra fruit…

Chakra fruit is formed by absorbing the energy of the earth and human beings. If I also make a similar device… No, that kind of method is not what I should use, it is too anti-human.

But… what if humans are not involved?

Neji suddenly came up with a somewhat terrifying thought: Tail beast, is it a big tonic?
