Red sand dust

The reply he got from Hyuga Hinata made Hinata Neji a little disappointed. Although he didn't have high hopes, he was still a little regretful when he was actually rejected.

Apart from their encounter in the Chuunin Exam, Hyuga Neji and Kurama Yakumo's interactions were only official. Even though they had crossed paths because of Daimaru, the two did not become familiar with each other.

I knew it but didn't feel it, and didn't take it to heart at all.

The main reason is that the worlds of the two are too far apart. A weak female ninja and a genius who is proficient in taijutsu are both tied to the family. They are busy with their own things, so how can they have a friendship?

"Brother Neji, I'm sorry..."

Hinata Hinata was a little embarrassed, and she was really embarrassed that her cousin's first request to do something for her was unsuccessful.

Hyuga Neji shook his head calmly:

"This is not your problem, but that I have too little contact with her..."

Hinata Neji also guessed some of the real reasons.

No matter how you look at it, Hyuga Neji, who is a member of the Hyuga clan, doesn't seem like someone who can offer a decent bargaining chip to impress Kurama Yakumo.

Seeing his cousin's face full of sadness, Hinata suggested tentatively:

"How about... I go talk to Father, maybe I can do it!"

"No, miss, I have other ideas!"

For some things, it is better to avoid the Zong family.

If there are really unknown and irresistible risks, it is better not to involve the family in them.

Sometimes, it is so difficult to choose a path. In the past, Hyuga Neji knew very little and felt ignorant and had little influence. As a result, now he is much stronger and knows so many secrets of the ninja world that he had not been able to access before, but he has become more and more troubled. There are more and more difficult to solve.

Since Kurama Yakumo couldn't talk and didn't want to involve the family, Hyuga Neji had to consider other helpers.

The team leader, Metkai, and teammates Rock Lee and Tiantian are pretty good, but they don't look like people who can be entrusted with a backup plan.

In Konoha Village, the most capable people are the fifth Hokage, Tsunade, Jiraiya and Uzumaki Naruto. However, Hyuga Neji definitely has no way to ask them for help because of a danger that has not happened yet and does not know the cause.

As for the outer village ninja, the only one who can be related is Daimaru, the hard-to-grasp Suna ninja.

Since there is no way to think about it, it is naturally better to move towards the only path with hope.

After bidding farewell to Hyuga Hinata, Hyuga Neji headed towards the station of the puppet troops in Sunagakure Village.

It has been some time since the Ninja Alliance Forces were assembled, and the reorganization speed was a little slower than expected. Along the way, the sound of commands was heard one after another, which made Hyuga Neji realize that he wanted to knead the ninjas of the major countries who were very different into a fighting force. A strong whole is really not an easy task.

Walking leisurely and watching, the thoughtful Hinata Neji approached the puppet troops camped independently, habitually opening his eyes to see if Daimaru was here.

Soon, through his super perception, Hyuga Neji discovered that a very powerful ninja was hiding in the camp of the puppet army in Sunagakure Village. The threat he posed was terrifying.

At first, Hyuga Neji thought he had found the rightful owner, but later he realized that something was wrong.

After careful judgment, Hyuga Neji unexpectedly discovered that it was not Daimaru's chakra reaction, and it was also very different from the Kazekage Fifth Daime Gaara's feeling. It was even different from the famous masters in the Five Ninja Villages.

"Another strong man comes to visit? But why would Daimaru allow this unknown strong man to enter the Sand Ninja's territory? 』

A few minutes later, Hinata Neji, who followed the perceived direction without encountering any interception, came straight to an independent cubicle with no windows and no one holding the door.

Hinata Neji knocked lightly on the door, then pushed open the ajar door and looked into the slightly dark room.

An elegant man with bright white hair sat on the chair in the center. He seemed to have realized that there was a visitor and raised his head slightly.

"Otsutsuki... Toneri?"

"Your eyes have also grown a lot..."

As he spoke, Otsutsuki Toneri opened his eyes. The right eye was very similar to the Byakugan, but had a blue background and a strange bright white halo pupil; the left eye had the appearance of an "ordinary" samsara eye. , showing a light purple color, and the blood vessels around the eye sockets are bulging, as if under great pressure,

"I heard that you are investigating me!"

"Well?"

Hinata Neji was startled and immediately forced himself to calm down.

"It's just a family order. Because you peeked at the Zong family, someone noticed you! But... I didn't expect that you would get a look from the Zong family..."

"It's just a coincidence!"

Otsutsuki Toneri chuckled and said,

"You must always believe that Daimaru, when needed, will not care about benevolence, morality, reputation, or worldliness..."

"So, this is implying that Daimaru helped get this clan Byakugan?" But the clan leader, Miss Hinata and Miss Hanabi are all safe and sound, so..."

In an instant, the old-fashioned old man Mist Ninja Qing came to mind.

"It seems that I haven't heard any special news. How did he do it, or was it hidden by Kirigakure Village?"

"Although you have done a lot of things with Daimaru, you still haven't really understood what kind of person Daimaru is. In order to compromise things, he would rather do more in private than follow his words easily!"

Otsutsuki Toneri said with a chuckle,

"The top puppet master in Sand Hidden Village has the secret technique of connecting the optic nerve and using eyes outside the body to enhance visual perception. It is widely used in puppetry..."

Hyuga Neji also knew this very well. In the Chunin Examination a few years ago and the subsequent "Konoha Puppet Plan", both Gaara and Daimaru showed their skills, which was quite amazing.

"Those like the head of the Hyuga clan and your two little cousins ​​are too big of a target to attack, but the clan's Byakugan that was accidentally captured by the family didn't adapt very well after being transplanted. They usually have to be sealed and sealed when needed. Untie it, it won’t be used a few times throughout the year..."

"So... was stolen and replaced?"

"This is not difficult for Daimaru! Find a replacement eyeball and transplant it, then seal it, modify the surface memory, or block some mental instincts. The target will definitely not be able to detect it for a while, and as time goes by, it will become even more difficult to detect. !”

"This...isn't right. If Kiri Ninja Qing uses his Byakugan, wouldn't he reveal his secret?"

Otsutsuki Toneri curled his lips:

"You know, although Byakugan's insight is very powerful, there are several weaker secret techniques that can replace it. The difference will not be much different. Only chakra vision is difficult to simulate, so..."

After the white-haired boy paused, he couldn't help but have a smile on his face and said:

"That guy remotely connected the nerves of the 'fake Byakugan' on Kirito Ninja Ao to a magical electronic image processing device. The black and white background, meridians and chakra flow seen by the 'fake' Byakugan were all added in. of……"

To put it bluntly, it's Kirin Ninja Ao. If the seal is not unlocked, nothing will happen. Once the "Byakugan" is used as usual, the visual signal of the right eye will be processed once, some "private goods" will be added, and then transmitted to the brain for processing through the optic nerve. .

Even if there were errors through PS beautification and "chakra vision", Qing could not attribute the key to the problem to the possibility of the eyeball in his right orbit being replaced.

There are so many secret techniques in the ninja world, and there are not just one or two who can deceive Byakugan; also, there is a possibility that his eyesight will become dim as he is getting older.

After hearing Otsutsuki Toneri's words, Hyuga Neji was stunned for a long time before muttering;

"Where did he come up with these damaging moves? Ultra-long-distance neural connection technology is not simple. Synchronous transmission is also a problem. If it can be put into practical use, Daimaru must have been planning for a long time!"

Otsutsuki Toneri nodded in agreement.

"Perhaps, the target at the beginning was not Kiri Ninja Ao, but he was unlucky and happened to hit the muzzle of the gun! Moreover, who knows if there is such a trap on me, or, as a genius of the Hyuga family, you can't protect everyone. Keep an eye on..."

This technology that fundamentally changes vision, one of the five senses, is the same as the five senses of magic, the secret technique of the Kurama family's blood inheritance. It is difficult to guard against, because no one will easily doubt the authenticity of the scenery they see and the sounds they hear. sex.

"Seeing is believing, it's a joke. In front of masters of escape like Daimaru and Kurama Yakumo who have the ability to deceive the entire world, it's better not to trust your own perception!"

Otsutsuki Toneri solemnly emphasized, and Hyuga Neji also slightly agreed. However, the other party indirectly seduced him to come to talk, so he probably did not do it casually.

"You must be vigilant, but you cannot completely trust this "Moon Man" who once tried to destroy the ninja world. 』

When it comes to probing the weaknesses of people's hearts and playing with them, Daimaru is indeed scary, but Toneri Otsutsuki is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.

"So, now you have the reincarnation eye that can destroy the world, and at the same time... the reincarnation eye. What's going on?"

"Currently, Nagato, the former leader of the Akatsuki organization, is dead. Who will hold the Samsara Eye without a fight? As for who the winner is, I don't know the details, but that stingy guy Daimaru, He actually transplanted one for me, just because I agreed to his cooperation conditions, is it surprising?"

Even the top blood inheritance limit - the samsara eye was sent away without hesitation, so the benefits Daimaru pursues must far exceed the samsara eye.

After hearing this, Hyuga Neji was once again glad that the Hyuga family was not involved.

In this level of conflict of forces, the so-called Millennium Hyuga is not even qualified to watch.

Some things are better not to be known, so that you can live a more comfortable life.

There was silence for a long time before Hinata Neji asked:

"You're looking for me because my Byakugan has evolved?"

Otsutsuki Toneri smiled mysteriously:

"Aren't you looking for someone to help you avoid disaster? If it's convenient, I can help..."

"What do I need to pay? Also, does Daimaru know about this?"

"Don't worry, although I didn't tell Daimaru, he probably knew about it and didn't interfere. He probably acquiesced!"

Speaking, Otsutsuki Toneri looked at Hinata Neji who was a little surprised.

"Don't be surprised. Daimaru admires you very much, but he will never make any promises to you on this matter. If you are an important chess piece in the future and can't pass the simple levels in front of you, there is no need to look forward to the future!"

"All right!"

Hyuga Neji understands that Daimaru is interested in Byakugan, and he is also somewhat interested in Hyuga Neji's value, but now, the weight is still too light.

"What are your conditions?"

"If I die, I hope I can use your power to help me retain the hope of resurrection!"

"You are much more powerful than me in this state, how can I help you?"

Hinata Neji frowned, this request was too troublesome.

"There is not much to do. I must have made arrangements before I die. You just need to preserve my body and prevent it from being damaged!"

After obtaining the power of the reincarnation eye, Otsutsuki Toneri unlocked the secret technique inherent in the body. With the help of the power of "reincarnation", he can forcibly freeze time at the moment before death, preserve his life state, and wait until the appropriate time. Timing, resurrect after thawing.

"why me?"

Hyuga Neji is a little confused. Although he is no longer weak now, there are not only one or two people in the ninja world who are stronger than him. Why not find others?

"Because you ask for something, I can just satisfy you. This is a deal! Daimaru is too scheming. God knows what he will do to me while I am waiting for resurrection? As for the other people, I am not familiar with them. Entrust the key to others..."

After hesitating for a moment, Hyuga Neji agreed.

"All right!"

If it's just this level, it can be done.

"Wise choice!"

"If your body is damaged after you die, or you fail to resurrect normally, you can't rely on me!"

"Of course!"

Otsutsuki Toneri responded with a smile,

"I'm not an unreasonable person. Just try your best. If fate really doesn't favor me, there's nothing you can do about it!"

Since the white-haired boy opposite him was so reasonable and not as elusive as Daimaru, Hinata Neji's heart was slightly relieved.

"Then it's settled!"

"You should feel at ease and prepare when you get back, by the way..."

As he spoke, Otsutsuki Toneri stood up and pointed a finger at Hinata Neji's forehead, where the center of the cursed seal and the Caged Bird rune was engraved.

"I'll give you some benefits first, so as not to say I'm unkind!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange purple-black energy entered Hinata Neji's mind, suddenly enlightening his spirit that seemed to be cast in a shadow.

Although the original foundation damaged by the curse seal "Caged Bird" cannot be repaired, most of the hidden injuries caused by excessive use of the Byakugan for many years have been healed.

"The direction of your current efforts is to almost break the Byakugan into pieces, then reassemble it, and work in an unprecedented direction. Although the connection with the Byakugan of the Zong family has been severed, the essence has not changed much. Destiny perception is a good ability. …”

Maybe many years later, Hyuga Neji and his descendants will really be able to develop a different lineage.
