Escape From Konoha Chapter 516

  Chapter 516 Miss Hanabi wants to be interesting

   "Next, bring Tsunade back."

  When Jiraiya first entered Hokage's office, Hirizhan directly expressed what was in his heart, calming down Jiraiya who wanted to say something.

  Compared with Kakashi and others, he actually returned to the Land of Fire earlier, but due to some reasons, he did not directly enter Konoha. It wasn't until about half a day after Kakashi and the others returned to Konoha that they finally got back to Konoha. Hirizhan couldn't help but feel a headache and helplessness when he saw the same idle and idle look.

  Three of his most valued students, Tsunade went away, Orochimaru betrayed Konoha, but Jiraiya, who was left behind, maintained a certain contact with the village, but when encountering real things, he only knew how to shirk responsibility, which made Hirizhan sigh more than once.

   "Please be so serious, you are going to die, old man?"

  Looking at Hirizhan who seemed to be making a will, Jiraiya couldn't help but crack a joke, completely destroying the original serious atmosphere.

  Hi Zhan coughed violently twice, and glared fiercely at Zilaiye. Although his bodily functions had indeed declined to a certain extent, it was not to the extent that he would completely step into the coffin.

  According to his own estimation, if he takes good care of his body in the future, he will have no problem continuing to survive for more than ten years.

  When necessary, he can even contribute his last remnants to the village like the previous Hokages did.

   "I let you down, I can hold on for another ten years."

   "Who will believe such words, maybe he will go directly to the coffin next year."

   "So the top priority is to invite Tsunade back and pass on Hokage to her. My health is getting worse recently, and when I deal with government affairs every day, I tend to lose my mind from time to time."

   Hirizhan was not joking, he looked at Jiraiya with serious eyes, and expressed his plea.

   Jiraiya was also silent for a while, and said: "In the past few years, I have revealed to Tsunade more than once the meaning of the village, but the effect is minimal. And, don't forget, Tsunade is as young as me, already fifty years old."

   In other words, even if Tsunade is really invited back to Konoha and let her take the position of the Fifth Hokage, the ruling time may not exceed ten years, or even shorter.

  Considering this situation, within ten years, I am mentally prepared to change Hokage twice.

  But there is no unified conclusion about the candidates for the next Hokage.

  Although he is very willing that Tsunade will come back to take over the position of Fifth Hokage, but there are still some things that need to be discussed, lest the village be overwhelmed and waste time and energy on such matters, causing Konoha to stagnate.

   Sannin is no longer a young man. At their young age, there is not much room for improvement in strength. It can basically be said that they have reached the peak of their life.

   After listening to Ri Zhan, he also pondered slightly, and asked, "Do you have any good candidates to recommend?"

  There are indeed many powerful ninjas among Konoha. From a comprehensive perspective, Tsunade is also the most suitable candidate to succeed the Fifth Hokage.

  But it is related to Konoha's future development plan, Tsunade will not be in power for too long, and Jiraiya's worries are understandable.

   "How is Kakashi?"

   Jiraiya looked at Hizhan and asked.

  His behavior is more like a temptation.

   Sure enough, when Hirizhan heard this, he didn't speak immediately, but sat there, staring at Jiraiya with a strange look.

   Zilai looked at him without fear.

   "Sakumo's incident has passed, there is no need to hold on to this kind of thing, whether it is out of compensation, or Kakashi's own ability, he is qualified for the position of Hokage after Tsunade. Don't forget, his teacher is the Fourth Hokage."

  Naturally, he doesn't like politics, and he doesn't know much about political struggles, but Hirazan is his mentor, and he can faintly feel that Hirazan always keeps some vigilance towards Kakashi.

   And the source of this vigilance, Zi Lai can also guess a general idea.

  It is likely to be related to Konoha Baiya's suicide in the past.

  But these things have passed, Kakashi is also growing up, let go of this past, and become an indispensable part of Konoha.

  As Naruto's Hizawa, he shouldn't always think about such things.

   "...Do you think so? At that time, I didn't expect Shuo Mao to make such a choice."

   "None of us want to see such consequences. To be honest, I am not 100% sure that Tsunade will return to Konoha to take over the Fifth Hokage. If the situation becomes like that, Kakashi is the best substitute."

   I have come to speak my mind.

  Taking Kakashi as the second choice, in this way, no matter whether Tsunade agrees to return to Konoha and take over the position of the Fifth Hokage, there is room for Konoha to turn around.

  Hizan carefully considered Jiraiya's words.

  Since he took over the power of Hokage again, there have indeed been many problems inside Konoha that have never appeared before.

   Facing such a predicament, Hirizhan couldn't help feeling worried.

   You shouldn't let the root grow bigger. This kind of talk is meaningless. The matter is a foregone conclusion. What needs to be considered now is to determine the ownership of the next Hokage.

   "We'll talk about this matter when Tsunade comes back."

  Hearing Hirazan's answer, Jiraiya couldn't help but feel disappointed.

   But he quickly cheered up and said, "Assign me Anbu of two teams. Recently, my contact with Tsunade was suddenly broken, and I need Anbu's assistance."

  The interruption of contact with Tsunade has also happened frequently in the past few years.

   Tsunade sometimes finds his harassment very annoying, so she will secretly change her face, cut off contact with anyone, and go to a place that no one knows to continue her journey of fat sheep.

   Every time contact is restored, it takes half a month or even a month of preparation time.

  If it is normal, Jiraiya can also look for it slowly, but now that Hirizhan has officially issued a task, then, naturally, he must restore contact with Tsunade as quickly as possible, find her location, and convey Hirizhan's will.

   "Then I'll leave this matter to you, no matter what, it can't be done by Tsunade's temper this time."

  Facing Hirizan's righteous and stern words, Jiraiya smiled wryly.

  They are already so humble that they need to beg others to be Hokage, how could they not help the other party's temper.

  That's why he hopes to include Kakashi in the list of candidates for Hokage, in order to give Konoha a way out.

   "Really, I wanted to rest in the village for two days. I'm a hard worker by nature. I'll take care of Naruto. The signs of that organization's recent activity have become more and more obvious."

   "Hanabi, when did you come back?"

  In a mansion full of ancient charm in the Hyuga clan, Hinata ran into her younger sister Hanabi walking in the corridor, showing a surprised face.

  After the Chunin exam, she thought that Hanabi would stay in the Oni Land for a while, so she didn't expect Hanabi to return to the village so soon.

   "Why are you so surprised? I originally met the Hyuga clan over there, but it was just used by others as an object of prestige. Because there is no way to embarrass an adult, I had to let me, a child, go there to bear these pressures."

  Huahuo has a clear mind, and naturally knows what the family's intention is to let her a child go to the kingdom of ghosts to watch the Chunin test competition.

  Because if she, a kid, doesn't show up, it will be the adults who will lose face.

   "Yes, is it?"

  Hinata was a little confused, didn't quite understand the meaning of Hanabi's words, and always felt that she was venting her dissatisfaction.

   "Then when did you come back?"

   "I came back two days earlier than you. At that time, you kept your eyes on your Naruto-kun, so I didn't bother you."

  Hane raised her eyelids, as if she was looking at her older sister Hinata.

   Hinata's face flushed red after being poked by Hanabi.

   "No...no such thing!"

   "Oh, even the voice of justification is so small... This must be a lie, right? It really doesn't seem like something the young lady can do."

   "Really, why do you have a sister like you?"

   Hinata also imagined that it would be nice if she had a younger sister who was not so strong and didn't like to tease others.

   Is it fun to tease an older sister?

"What's wrong with me?"

   Huahuo has a weird expression on his face.

   "You are not cute at all as a younger sister."

   "Sister...you don't want to secretly read some idle books behind your father's back?"

  Hinata was speechless.

   "No, have you really done it?"

  Huahuo became interested, took a step forward, and walked directly in front of Hinata, raised her head and stared at Hinata, pressing her tightly, her small body was full of a sense of oppression that could not be ignored.

   "I... I am the older sister."

  Hinata who said this sentence seemed to have exhausted all the courage accumulated in her life to determine her status as an older sister.

   In the end, he still sounded so unconfident, and his face was full of words like 'don't bully me again'.

   But in Huahuo's eyes, the obvious words 'I'm easy to bully, come and bully me' are always written on her sister's face, it's hard to ignore.

   "Then hurry up and confess."

"ah?"

   "Otherwise that yellow hair will elope with others, and you, the young lady, will be ridiculed at that time. Sigh, why am I not a boy? It's really taking advantage of others."

"Huh?"

   Hinata stared blankly at Hanabi, she understood the previous sentence, but how should she understand the latter sentence?

  Did Hanabi say something terrible?

"what are you saying?"

   "This is the latest buzzword, even a child like me understands it. However, sister, you are really innocent. If this goes on like this, it will end in a disastrous defeat. It is a pity not to take advantage of such a good figure advantage."

   Hanabi stared at Hinata's body.

   "Wait, Naruto-kun won't..."

  Unable to understand Hanabi's intentions, she blushed and hugged her chest and backed away, guarding against Hanabi like she was guarding against hooligans.

   "You really like him."

   In the middle of the conversation, I was interrupted by Huahuo again.

   "I don't talk to you anymore!"

   Sure enough, my sister is not cute at all.

  Hinata ran away in a depressed mood. In front of Hanabi, she seemed to be naked, without any clothes to cover her body, and she was completely seen through.

  Such a younger sister both frightened her and made her helpless.

   "There will be an important clan meeting later, don't forget to attend."

  Seeing her sister running away in a panic like a prodigal dog, Hanabi didn't know why her mood was suddenly filled with joy.

  Whether it's because she's too shy to express her love, but she's as innocent as a dog longing for her crush—

   Or the elder sister who is being teased by the younger sister and keeps falling into a dilemma—

  These poses made Hanabi very interesting.

   If there is no annoying clan meeting, today is undoubtedly a good day, and you can take a leisurely half-day vacation for yourself.

  Huahuo has never liked formal things very much.

  But being in a wealthy family full of ancient atmosphere, it is inevitable that we often have to look up and down with these ancestral systems.

   Growing up, the word she heard most often was the word 'rule'.

   Put everything on a clear level, including the clansmen living here.

   Once such a wish is violated, they will be sanctioned by the "rules", and they will try to disturb the lower-class people who committed the crimes below for trial.

  Don't ask why, don't ask right and wrong, don't listen to any explanations from the parties, the words and deeds of the clan are authoritative and cannot be questioned.

  But this kind of authority, when faced with a stronger authority, will inevitably bend its trunk humbly.

  Especially in today's situation of strong external force, Huahuo can imagine how unwilling and angry the elders of these clans are.

  One of the furious manifestations of incompetence is to hold a clan meeting and punish the losers, so as to demonstrate their absolute correctness.

  In the majestic and solemn conference room, there is no modern conference table or anything like that. The tradition of the past is still kept. A soft cushion is placed on the ground, and the clan elders and branch elders participating in the clan meeting sit on the floor.

  Before the next generation of the clan heir is decided, both Hinata and Hanabi are considered members of the clan at this moment.

  The two sat next to the patriarch Rizu, with only one punch between them.

  However, compared to being calm and calm, Hinata is not used to such scenes, and there is a little nervousness in her eyes.

  If it wasn't for the mandatory participation in this clan meeting... Even if it wasn't compulsory, she might not have the guts to refuse.

  Compared to Hanabi's self-adaptive ability, she is more like an exquisite puppet who can only express absolute obedience to orders. Even with independent thinking, her nature is suppressed by the family rules.

  The number of meetings is increasing every year, more and more frequent. Hanabi swept across the crowd present, thinking of this kind of question in his mind.

  Compared to the previous year, the number of clan meetings held this year has exceeded the sum of the previous year.

   Before Hinata came back, three consecutive meetings with unknown meanings were held, and Hanabi wanted to take a nap during the meeting.

  But in line with the status of the second daughter of the clan, she must always maintain the elegance and dignity of the daughter of the clan, otherwise, she should take a rare stroll in the street at this time to buy some puppet toys that she likes. If there is still time left, she might continue to practice.

  Anything is more valuable than participating in this meaningless clan.

  Even returning to the village immediately after the Chunin exam was ordered by these clan elders, lest she might have any accidents outside.

  Huahuo has always believed that too many meetings with unclear core values ​​have always been a poor performance of an organization, family or even a country.

  Unfortunately, she is now about to accept the bad baptism of this unknown clan association.

   "About losing the game, Neji, do you have anything to explain?"

   Rizu asked a question.

  From his majestic and focused expression, there is no trace of joy or anger, and it seems that it is just a normal question like asking whether he has had breakfast.

"No."

  Ningji answered simply.

  His mental state is not very good. Although he rested for half a day in the morning, he still feels a little sleep deprived.

  But at this time, you can't show your desire to sleep.

  He looked at his father's position, and then turned his eyes away. No matter what, his failure cannot involve his father.

   "We are not people who don't know right from wrong. Regarding your failure, although you have lost a lot of face to the family, you can also see from the side that our preparations are insufficient."

  A clan elder spoke.

  Huahuo accidentally took a look at the elder of the clan, not expecting that he would acquit Neci.

   Are these old guys modified?

   "Next, we will send Jonin from the clan to give you one-on-one counseling and practice, so that you have the confidence to catch up with the person who defeated you?"

  The patriarch of the clan asked again, staring into Neji's eyes.

  Ning Ci still cherished words like gold and shook his head: "No."

  Ningji doesn't like to lie, and it's meaningless to send a shinin to guide him to practice.

   Unless the Zong family is willing to open up those more advanced soft boxing skills that cannot be taught to the branch family, otherwise, the help from the family's Jonin may not be as great as the help that his own guidance Jonin can bring to himself.

  Therefore, it is completely meaningless to lie to cheat the favor of the Zong family.

  He watched the video of the final afterward, and knew that the white-eyed ninja named Chiba Aya was far superior to him.

  If he wants to catch up with the opponent's current level, he needs at least three years of practice under the premise that the Zong family will fully open up the advanced soft boxing skills of the Hyuga clan to him.

   But let's not say that the Zong family will not do this, and the other party will not keep standing still.

  Three years will only widen the gap between the two sides.

  The next time they meet, he may be defeated more cleanly by the opponent.

   Sure enough, Ning Ci's words caused dissatisfaction among many clan elders.

   "As an excellent ninja cultivated by the family, he actually said such words to boost the morale of the enemy."

   "Could it be because you are dissatisfied with the clan and don't want to try your best?"

   "Obviously, more resources have been tilted than the rest of the branch ninjas."

   "Sure enough, is it better to start with the younger generation of the clan?"

   "After all, they are separated. Giving too much trust is not a good thing, otherwise it will be the next one..."

   Speaking of this, the elder of the sect seemed to be afraid of something, so he didn't finish speaking.

  For him, that name is a taboo of the Hyuga clan, and it is also the most feared enemy of the Hyuga clan.

   "Yeah, there can't be another 'her'."

  The rest of the elders of the clan nodded their heads one after another, almost writing the word fear directly on their faces.

  An enemy who fully understands all the details of the Hyuga Clan, even beyond the limits of the Hyuga Clan, is the deadliest enemy to the Konoha Hyuga Clan.

  Can't help that they don't worry that something like this will happen again.

   Therefore, we must make good use of the power of family separation, but we must also suppress their growth.

  Ning Ci's progress made them panic, and they couldn't let him grow up fast, otherwise it would be detrimental to maintaining the relationship between the main family and the branch family.

  The whispers of the clan elders did not cause any fluctuations in Neji's expression.

  He had expected this kind of situation a long time ago. If you say that there are some disappointments, but it is not like looking for life or death.

  Huahuo was not surprised by such a situation. Sure enough, the Zong family was still the same Zong family, which had been completely defeated by the "traitor", and had not changed at all.

  Usually, they would not behave so badly, but they would be extra careful about cultivating split ninjas.

  In the past, they were not stingy about investing resources in branch ninjas, but the result was a monster that terrified the Konoha Hinata clan. Therefore, whenever a talented ninja appeared in the branch family, they would always worry about the next Hinata Ayane.

  In fact, the next Hinata Ayane is inevitable.

   It's just that it's not the Hyuga clan in Konoha, but Chiba Aya from the ghost country.

  Through the opponent's game video, he showed such a strong strength at the age of twelve, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes the next Hinata Ayane.

  This is also the reason for the dissatisfaction of many Konoha Hyuga clans. Even if Hyuga Ayane defected, he would have inherited the blood of the Hyuga clan, but taking his own son's surname as a commoner and separating Chiba Aya from the Hyuga clan's genealogy is undoubtedly weakening the power of the Hyuga clan as a whole.

   But they obviously didn't dare to speak out in front of each other, so they could only enjoy it in their hearts.

  Looking at the elders of the Zong family talking to each other as if they were interrogating Neji as a prisoner, Hinata couldn't sit still, and wanted to say something, but her clothes were ripped off.

   Hanabi put his index finger in front of his mouth and hissed.

   "Don't talk here, you will kill him."

   Judging by Ning Ci's attitude, he has already planned to take the responsibility - although this is not his responsibility, but in the situation where the elders of the clan urgently need a vent, if he shoulders all the responsibilities by himself so that the elders of the clan can have a psychological comfort of self-deception, then even if he is punished, the punishment will not be too heavy.

  The premise is that the clan elders have a step down.

  If Hinata begged for mercy now, it wouldn't mean that she wouldn't let the clan elders step down, but would directly push those clan elders who shirked their responsibilities onto the stove. By then, she, the clan elder daughter, might be fine, but Ningci would definitely end up miserable.

"But…"

   "Look at who is talking at the branch."

  Huahuo pointed to the calm family members on the other side, as if she had become accustomed to shirking responsibility for the clan, except for a few who fanatically respected the clan and looked at Neji with dissatisfied eyes, the rest were extremely calm.

   Having lived under the clan's rule for so many years, they already understood that speaking for Ning Ci at this time would only make things self-defeating.

  Ning Ci's attitude of admitting his mistakes so sincerely, it may be that there are no elders behind his back.

   Sure enough, the nutrition for nourishing the brain has grown to this point? Inadvertently glanced at Hinata's **** which were bigger than girls of the same age, besides this, Hanabi couldn't think of any other reason.

The    family meeting lasted for an hour and a half and finally ended.

  Ning Ci was ordered by the Zong family to be punished.

  But in view of Ning Ci's good attitude of admitting his mistakes, the so-called punishment is only mild.

   "That's not the fault of Brother Ningci at all."

  After the clan meeting, the crowd dispersed in twos and threes. Hinata found Hanabi, the only sister who could confide in her heart, and felt wronged for Neji.

   "It's not okay to distinguish right from wrong with adults. They just want to vent their pressure."

"pressure?"

  Hinata tilted her head, expressing her confusion.

  Obviously I am older, why does my younger sister always say something that she doesn't understand at all.

   "Being oppressed for a long time, naturally need a breakthrough. Brother Ning Ci just happened to hit the muzzle of the gun."

   "But you can't..."

   "Are you trying to say why adults can't bear it?"

  Hinata blinked, that's what she meant.

   "They are not 'adults' in the general sense, but the embodiment of family rules, and the family rules of the Hyuga clan... is that the clan is not allowed to make mistakes."

  Even if the object is a child, they cannot make mistakes.

  Even if the elders of the clan knew it well, it was the clan's own problem and had nothing to do with Ning Ci.

   The corner of Hinata's mouth twitched, realizing that she was powerless to do anything.

   "...This is sophistry."

   "That's right, it's a sophistry. The Zong family can't make mistakes, won't make mistakes, let alone make mistakes. So..."

"so?"

   "Don't focus on developing breasts, remember to eat more walnuts to nourish your brain."

   Hanabi narrowed her eyes and smiled meaningfully.

  Hinata clutched her chest again and ran away. After Hinata escaped, Hanabi's eyes turned to the other end of the corridor.

   "Master Hanabi."

  Hyuga Tokuma walked over and said respectfully.

   "It's you, Tokuma."

   "You're molesting Hinatsama again."

   "This is the intimate interaction between sisters."

   "I believe Hinatsama will be very distressed."

   "I just don't want her to be so depressed."

   "Then should I call you... the beautiful, generous and understanding Hanabi-sama?"

"Thanks."

   Fireworks accepted it calmly.

   Then she thought of something, looked at Tokuma and asked:

   "I'll leave the rest to you. Have you found a suitable candidate in the branch?"

   "Well, through screening, there are many chess pieces that can be used. Even if there is a mistake, it will not be found on Mr. Huahuo's side."

   Tokuma promised.

   "That's really great, I really want to quickly make Brother Neji my thing. Wouldn't it be fun to say 'Brother Neji is already mine' in front of Uncle Richa in the future? I think I will see very interesting faces."

  Tokuma looked at Hanabi with a bright smile on his face, did the lord say something very important just now?

  He never imagined that the strict education of the Hyuga clan would result in such a young lady who looks perfect, but is extremely self-willed and likes to play tricks on others.

  If it wasn't for the other party's pure white eyes, Tokuma doubted whether the other party was an outsider in disguise.

   "So... whether I can get an interesting toy this time is up to you, Tokuma."

  Looking at the Hanabi with the pink puppet Kunai tied in his hand, Tokuma sighed sadly.

   "Your will, Hanabi-sama."

  Tokuma suddenly felt that he was doing the crime of human trafficking.
