Chapter 166: Will the Whitebeard Pirates accept a bird in a cage?
The straightforward declaration from Hyuga Neji left Hyuga Hiashi somewhat at a loss. He didn't expect to learn such shocking news from Neji.
Hyuga Taisou is dead? Murdered?
Neji was involved?
Part of the murderers?
Hiashi could see that Neji's gaze was very firm.
Moreover, Neji wouldn't joke about such a thing.
"Why? Do you know what you're doing, Neji?"
Hyuga Hiashi frowned, "Do you know that Hyuga Taisou is an elder of our Hyuga clan? Do you remember that you also bear the surname 'Hyuga'? You share the same roots with him, he is your elder! Why would you want to kill such a respected elder of the Hyuga clan?"
"Who misled you? Who did you team up with? Is it someone from within the Hyuga clan? Or someone outside the Hyuga clan? Neji, why would you do this?"
If Neji can't give him a satisfactory answer.
Hyuga Hiashi will not hesitate to take Neji down.
He can't tolerate a traitor who kills his own clan members for no reason in his family!
Especially this traitor is the strongest genius of the new generation of the Hyuga clan, with amazing potential.
If such a person commits such a crime...
Then Hiashi can only kill his own kin for the greater good.
Because he is very clear, as the head of the family, if he does not curb this evil trend, once Neji sets a bad example, won't the clan members kill each other when there is a conflict?
He let Neji explain, purely out of respect for Neji's father, and also out of his own guilt towards Hizashi.
If Neji didn't have this special status, Hiashi wouldn't want to hear his explanation.
Perhaps the moment Neji declared...
He would have directly detained Neji.
Facing the pressing question from Hyuga Hiashi, the head of the family, Neji's expression remained calm.
Because he believes that his ideological height is no longer on the same level as Hyuga Hiashi.
In Neji's heart, the only person in the Hyuga clan who can match his ideological height is Hinata, who joined the Whitebeard Pirates.
As for Hyuga Hiashi?
Not as good as his daughter!
"Because of the Caged Bird." Neji felt there was nothing he couldn't say, he answered expressionlessly, "It seems... you have been kept in the dark by that old-fashioned old man until now. As the head of the family, don't you know that Hyuga Taisou once wanted to order me to carve a Caged Bird Curse Seal on your daughter, Hyuga Hinata?"
What?!!
Hiashi's pupils shrank slightly.
Caged Bird Curse Seal?
To be honest, Hyuga Hiashi really didn't know about this.
All of this was done behind his back as the head of the family.
"What about Hinata?" Hiashi's heart "thumped".
Although he was very dismissive of his daughter that day, and even wanted to expel Hinata from the Hyuga clan. But he wanted to let his daughter leave the Hyuga cage in this way.
Because Hiashi is very clear, Hinata's character is too weak.
She will eventually become the Hyuga branch family.
Sooner or later, she will be carved with the Caged Bird Curse Seal.
No one knows better than him, the head of the family, how terrifying the Caged Bird Curse Seal is.
Hinata is his daughter after all.
So he let Hinata stay away from the Hyuga clan in that way.
In this way, she is also away from the Caged Bird.
But Neji's answer made Hyuga Hiashi's breath tighten.
He didn't expect the elders in the family to be unwilling to let go of Hinata, and they tried every means to carve the Caged Bird Curse Seal on Hinata!
He even felt that Hyuga Taisou deserved to die!
"Heh...."
Neji looked at his reaction and even found it somewhat amusing: "So you're also afraid of your own child being caged like a bird. Then how can you bear to see other people's children being caged?"
Hiashi fell silent.
"I didn't cage Hinata," Neji said calmly. "Because some of her thoughts, and some of the things she said to me... made me realize how narrow-minded I used to be. There's also a person named Uzumaki Naruto. The punch he gave me also made me completely wake up."
"More importantly, there's a person named Haku... He was the first person I ever met. If Hinata made me realize that my thinking was a bit narrow, and Naruto made me completely wake up, then he was the first person who made me open my heart."
Speaking of this, Neji couldn't help but recall his first meeting with Haku.
At that time, he thought the other party was a cute girl.
Until the other party walked straight into the men's bathroom.
Every time he thought about this, even Neji, who was more serious in character, felt a bit flushed.
Hiashi: "....."
Neji continued: "If you, as the head of the family, want to deal with me with the Hyuga family rules, perhaps you also have to use these family rules to deal with your daughter, Hyuga Hinata."
"Because, she was also involved."
"In addition, Uzumaki Naruto, Uzumaki Karin, Uchiha Sasuke, Nara Shikamaru, Nara Shikaku, Haku, Hoshigaki Kisame, Yamanaka Ino, Akimichi Chouji were all involved."
Hiashi: "!!"
Hyuga Hiashi struggled to remain calm. Even though he was prepared for what Neji was about to say, his eyes still involuntarily widened.
Because the names that Neji uttered one after another were all familiar to Hiashi.
Except for Uzumaki Karin and Haku, he didn't know these two.
He knew every other name!
The key is...
Although Neji didn't say the words "Whitebeard Pirate Group", when Hyuga Hiashi heard him speak, all he could think of was the Whitebeard Pirate Group!
As the head of the family, he might catch the key point... The death of Hyuga Taisou is related to the Whitebeard Pirate Group!
It was definitely an assassination led by the Whitebeard Pirate Group!
Hyuga Hiashi was taken aback.
Since a while ago, when Whitebeard visited the Hyuga clan, he had a deep understanding of this man's power.
Making all the people of the Hyuga clan scared.
They are probably not his opponents.
Did Neji and the people of the Whitebeard Pirate Group conspire to assassinate the elder Hyuga Taisou?
How did he get so close to Whitebeard's children?
Is it because they are all ninja school students?
How did Hyuga Taisou offend the Whitebeard Pirate Group?
Will this "offense" anger the entire Hyuga clan?
What Hyuga Hiashi was thinking about was no longer why Hyuga Taisou disappeared, but whether the Hyuga clan would be implicated by Hyuga Taisou!
"Hiashi-sama, that's how it is."
Neji's voice continued to ring out: "Do you want to impose family punishment on me for such a stubborn existence?"
"Cough... cough cough"
Hiashi cleared his throat.
He was clear that he absolutely could not dispose of Neji at will.
He couldn't even dispose of anyone involved.
Because those involved are either the children of the ninja clan, the people of the Whitebeard Pirate Group, or even the head of the ninja clan!
He didn't understand how Nara Shikaku got together with the Whitebeard Pirate Group.
Isn't the other party from the Hokage faction?
The other party has such a close relationship with the Whitebeard Pirates, are you sure it won't cause dissatisfaction from the Third Hokage?
Or is it...
That always cunning and tricky Nara Shikaku, has he noticed something and started to lean towards the Whitebeard Pirates?
One question after another lingered in his heart.
But no one could answer his questions.
Thinking of himself calling Neji in the middle of the night, and questioning him aggressively, even showing a pressing appearance... Hyuga Hiashi couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
He felt ashamed of his own tolerance.
And felt a bit guilty towards Neji.
"Hyuga Taisou is clearly an elder of the Hyuga clan, but he took advantage of his status as an elder and forced you to carve a Caged Bird for Hinata. He was the first to make a mistake and the first to violate the family rules."
"And you, facing those who violate the family rules, behave neither humble nor arrogant. Even knowing that the other party is an elder, you don't care about his threats, and you can calmly unite all the friends you can unite. While surviving the crisis, you also help the family clean up those who violate the family rules."
"Neji, you did very well. And Hyuga Taisou and his guards, they really deserve to die! You didn't do anything wrong, the ones who did wrong were Hyuga Taisou and his guards."
Hiashi moved the muscles at the corner of his mouth, pulling out a smile that was not good-looking, but not ugly either.
"Hiashi-sama, is there such a family rule in the family?" Neji asked.
".....No harm, no harm, if there isn't one today, I'll add it tomorrow." Hiashi said with a straight face.
Neji showed a smile.
'Haku, you're right again. Fate is determined by powerful people. Powerful People can really change their fate.'
This thought flashed through Neji's mind,
He knew that he could make the head of the family have such an unbearable reaction, all because of the Whitebeard Pirates.
When Neji left.
His mind was full of thoughts.
Would a big family like the Whitebeard Pirates accept a bird bound in a cage?
He was eager to try.
...
The next day, at five o'clock in the morning.
"Sasuke! Wake up!" The sky was not yet bright, and Naruto had already pulled open the zipper of the tent. Sasuke, who was sleeping soundly, hadn't reacted yet, and his ankle was caught by Naruto.
"Huh?" Sasuke opened his eyes in a daze.
But the next moment, a great force came from his ankle.
Sasuke woke up instantly.
But it was too late.
Naruto had already pulled Sasuke out of the tent.
And he also enthusiastically said to Sasuke, "Sasuke, it's already 5:03! You woke up three minutes late today, so you have to do thirty more weighted push-ups for your special training today!"
"Huh?" Sasuke, who had just woken up, got up from the ground.
Before he could ask a question, Naruto grabbed his hand.
Then he ran wildly in one direction.
"Wa...wait!"
Sasuke hadn't even put on his shoes yet.
But Naruto didn't care about him.
He was forcibly pulled by Naruto to a place far away.
Sasuke's fair little feet were all red from running.
"Huff....huff...."
Sasuke leaned against a tree nearby, panting.
He was so out of breath from running.
"You... damn it, what are you trying to do?" Sasuke, who had finally recovered, looked around.
He found that this was actually a forest.
They were standing in a clearing in the forest.
That is to say... they actually ran all the way from the residential area of Konohagakure to the suburbs of Konohagakure?
Sasuke was dumbfounded!
"This is the special training we're going to start today!" Naruto said seriously, "If you want to get stronger quickly, you can only keep 'beating' your body with hard training! Even 'abusing' your body brutally!"
"In this way, you can quickly improve your physical fitness, endurance, strength, willpower... when all these aspects are improved, the chakra in your body will also increase."
"You don't want to face Uchiha Itachi one day and find out that you can't beat him even with all your strength, do you?"
Naruto's words were a fatal blow to Sasuke.
Sasuke's eyes widened instantly.
He gritted his teeth.
"I must kill him with my own hands!" Sasuke emphasized his goal again, gritting his teeth.
"That's right!"
Naruto pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket, filled with densely written words.
But every word looked as ugly as a ghost symbol.
And there were quite a few typos.
Obviously, Naruto didn't care about this, he grinned and said, "This is the special training plan I made for you overnight."
Sasuke was stunned, he squinted his eyes and took a closer look.
"..."
After about ten seconds, Sasuke fell silent.
For a moment, Sasuke wondered if he had offended Naruto somewhere?
Is this really a special training plan...
Or is it a murder plan?
[Project One: Get up at 5 a.m., don't eat any breakfast, run around Konohagakure village at full speed for no less than 10 laps. If you still have energy after running 10 laps, then run a few more laps.]
[Project Two: Rest for five minutes, start doing push-ups with a weight of 25 kg, must do no less than 200, and the posture must be correct, if the posture does not correct, add one more]
[Project Three: Rest for five minutes, start doing inverted push-ups with weight, must do no less than 100.....]
[Project Four:.....]
[Project Five:.....]
[.....]
[Project Ten: Ninjutsu training.....]
Sasuke was dumbfounded.
When he asked his father to double his training, the training volume was not even one-tenth of the special training plan that Naruto had set!
Is this really a special training that humans can complete?
There are only twenty-four hours in a day!
Can this be done?
If it's really done.....
Are you sure you won't die?
"Sasuke~"
Naruto didn't know where he got a Kunai from, and there was a cunning smile on his face: "Don't expect to be lazy! Otherwise... I will really stab this Kunai into your body!"
This kind of yandere-like tone made Sasuke shudder.
Sasuke didn't know if it was an instinct, but he felt that Naruto wasn't joking.
If he doesn't complete the special training plan set by Naruto.
Naruto would really stab Kunai at him without hesitation!
"Don't worry, Sasuke." Naruto smiled and said, "I will try to avoid your vital points, and I will take you to Sister Fuushi before you bleed to death."
"Don't worry! I've already skipped class for a day, and it doesn't matter if I skip class for another day today! Iruka-sensei will definitely understand the kind of faith you have to become stronger."
"Now, start running 10 laps!"
After saying this, Naruto actually threw the Kunai directly at Sasuke, scaring Sasuke and making his pupils shrink.
Sasuke hurriedly jumped back to dodge.
But he didn't expect that Naruto would catch up in the blink of an eye.
Naruto pulled out the Kunai that was inserted into the ground.
And he slashed at Sasuke's abdomen.
Sasuke hurriedly dodged again, and the clothes on his abdomen were torn by the Kunai.
The white skin on his belly was cut by the tip of the Kunai.
Although it was just a bit of skin, it made Sasuke's hair stand on end.
Seeing Naruto attacking again.
Sasuke turned around and ran!
"Hahaha! That's it! Sasuke! Give it your all!"
Naruto chased and shouted from behind: "Remember to count the laps when you run, remember to run around Konohagakure!"
"Damn Naruto!" Sasuke couldn't help but yell out loud.
At this moment, Naruto finally understood why Pops was so happy when he was training him.
Naruto suddenly realized.
He had an epiphany!
.....
Time passed.
Sasuke had always thought that the village of Konohagakure was quite small, after all, the entire village only had tens of thousands of people. But today, he suddenly found that Konohagakure was ridiculously large.
His legs felt as if they were filled with dozens of pounds of lead, and every time he lifted his legs, it took all his strength.
There was a strong smell of blood in his throat.
Every breath for Sasuke was a torment.
The air he breathed in was like someone holding a blunt knife, cutting his skin crazily.
Sweat had soaked his clothes.
His pampered and tender little feet were covered with small wounds.
The wounds were all cut by some relatively sharp stones, or some sharp leaves on the ground.
Sasuke felt his head swelling.
He was about to give up.
"Fourth lap!" Naruto changed from his previous mad chase.
He leisurely followed behind Sasuke, his index finger drilled into the ring at the end of the Shuriken, and he was gently spinning the Shuriken.
Because, now Sasuke's running speed is almost the same as walking, Naruto doesn't need to run to catch up with Sasuke.
".....This guy!" Sasuke forced himself to look back at Naruto.
A sense of unwillingness to admit defeat surged in his heart.
Although Naruto seemed to be leisurely walking, Sasuke could clearly see that Naruto was carrying a very exaggerated load on his body.
Naruto's back was carrying a huge lump of iron.
This is one of Naruto's special training equipment.
The weight is as heavy as 1450 kgs!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
With every step Naruto took, Sasuke could see Naruto's feet stepping out a shallow pit on the ground.
It's ridiculously exaggerated!
Sasuke bit his lip hard, the broken lip overflowed with blood, the pain made him slightly sober.
The more exaggerated Naruto's strength is.
The bigger Sasuke's competitive heart.
He wants to catch up with Naruto step by step!
Definitely!!!
"Hmm?" But at this moment, Sasuke saw a vague figure in front of him, he once thought he was hallucinating.
After all, the path he and Naruto ran around Konohagakure was deserted, there shouldn't be anyone here, right?
"Sasuke, there's someone ahead!"
Until Naruto suddenly said a word from behind.
Let Sasuke understand that this is not an illusion.
Under Sasuke's stunned gaze, Naruto, carrying a ton of iron lump, ran past him briskly, and left a sentence: "Don't take the opportunity to be lazy, I will use the 'eye' behind me to stare at you closely, Sasuke!"
"Damn it! Stop nagging! Who would be lazy! Talking so much nonsense all day, it's annoying!"
Sasuke's little thoughts were exposed.
His face turned a little red.
