Escape From Konoha

"Is it raining..."

When Ning Ci woke up in the morning, he heard the pattering sound coming from outside the house, which was obviously the sound of rain.

Judging by the size of the sound, it seems that the rain is not too small.

Walking to the corridor outside, there is a stream of water on the eaves, constantly flowing into the courtyard.

The sky was overcast, and thunder could be faintly heard in the distance.

In this hot weather, it is a little comfort to be able to occasionally encounter rainy days.

Even if Neci can endure hardships and stand hard work, it is not a problem to be exposed to the sun for a long time, but after all, he doesn't like this kind of stuffy weather.

The wind that blows in is mixed with the smell of dampness and soil, and I was still a little drowsy, but my mind suddenly became clear.

It has been a few days since I came back from the ghost country.

Although he was disrespectful during the game and was reprimanded by the clan after he came back, in essence, he did not receive any substantial punishment, and this was not something he could control.

Recalling the game scene that day, even though I re-simulated it countless times in my brain, the result I got was still a fiasco.

And compared to such things as defeat, he felt that the clan's distrust of the branch family made him even more gloomy.

Maybe it's because after returning from the ghost country, he became extremely sensitive to certain things, and he was able to notice some things that he never took the initiative to pay attention to before.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the woman named Hinata Ayane is right. The Konoha Hyuga clan is indeed full of various contradictions, and the relationship between the main family and the branch family seems to be very strange.

Reminiscent of the fact that my father also implicitly revealed that there is a strong hostility between the main family and the branch family, it feels like this is not like a family getting along at all.

Therefore, he also began to become hesitant about whether to ask his father for a certain truth.

He wanted to know the answer, but he was also afraid that the answer he got would plunge his heart into pain and despair.

Separation...what the **** is it?

The village...what the **** is it?

It seemed that something was constantly hindering him from integrating into the family and the village.

"Ningji."

A gentle voice came from the other end of the corridor, and his father walked over in his daily casual black plain clothes.

"Father."

Ning Ci turned around and greeted slightly.

"You wake up late these days."

Yes. \"

Ning Ci nodded.

It's seven o'clock in the morning. Normally, he would get up at five o'clock in the morning for morning exercises.

"Are you still worried about the words of the elders of the clan?"

He was also present at the clan meeting that day, but it was not suitable for him to speak for Ning Ci on that occasion.

He was worried that he would make things self-defeating and complicate things that were originally simple.

Ning Ci fell silent and did not speak.

"After the Clan Council came back, you haven't mentioned this kind of thing. I thought you didn't care about it. But now, it seems that you don't seem to care at all in your heart."

The day difference smiled.

Neji didn't know how to answer.

"They've always been like this, there's no need to be upset about it."

The day difference comforted.

I'm not upset about this. Ning Ci said something in his heart.

His heart is not so fragile that he dare not even admit defeat.

He will not feel depressed because of the punishment of the Zong family, and let himself fall into a dilemma.

But seeing that his father would be wrong, Neji didn't intend to explain.

Father thinks that it is really good for the clan to keep in this state? "

Ning Ci asked.

"You mean...\"

"Through the test, I can somewhat more intuitively see the Hyuga clan in the kingdom of ghosts, which is completely different from what we have here."

Although the elders of the clan here, after watching the game video, would regard the soft fist of the Hyuga clan in the ghost country as a crooked way that deviates from Hyuga's orthodoxy, but they still want to break their heads secretly, and want to delve into it. The tricks used by the Bian people.

Because they are enemies, they don't want to recognize the other party's achievements, and will use the name of orthodoxy to completely deny them.

But because it did bring a powerful deterrent effect, I could only despise and reject it while secretly researching and thinking hard to get a powerful secret different from the orthodox Soft Fist of the Hyuga Clan of the Ghost Country.

For these dishonest patriarchs, Ning Ci suddenly understood a truth, preaching is meaningless, only actions can make them physically obedient.

"This is something the Zong family needs to consider."

Said the day difference.

In other words, there is no reason for separation, and there is no condition to intervene in such disputes.

Although they also belong to the Hyuga Clan in name, they are essentially at a disadvantage. They only exist as a subsidiary branch, and cannot communicate directly with the Hyuga Clan in the Demon Country like the main family.

Ning Ci looked at the stagnant water in the yard, but did not speak.

"Speaking of which, your friend just came to look for him, and he seems to be from the same team as you."

The day difference said suddenly.

Ning Ci understood, it must be Xiao Li and Tian Tian.

"Then I'm going out first."

"It doesn't matter if you come back later, just relax when it's time to relax."

Day difference smiled.

Ning Ci glanced at Rizai, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.

"Ningji, this way!\"

Next to a shop not far from the Hyuga Clan, Neji saw Tiantian waving at him.

She and Xiao Li were sitting on a bench under the eaves outside the shop, having breakfast there.

"Is Teacher Kai not here again?"

Ning Ci didn't see Kai's figure, so he asked.

"Yeah, it seems that after returning, many junin have become very busy, and yesterday I just had a quick meeting with Teacher Kai."

Tiantian took out the extra hot rice **** and put them in front of Neji.

"Here, Neji, you probably haven't had breakfast yet."

Thanks. \"

Ning Ci felt a hint of warmth, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

Compared with the family whose atmosphere is always dull and serious and has all kinds of rules, it is easier to get along with the companions here,

Don't have to think about superfluous things.

Sometimes, he would also think that it would be fine if he was not born in the Hyuga clan.

There's nothing wrong with being an ordinary ninja.

Although he doesn't care on the surface, he still feels a little longing in his heart-the happiness called freedom.

Freedom...what does it feel like?

It seemed that in this family, he never knew what it was like to be free.

Even without the bird-in-a-cage curse mark, the various rules and regulations of the family still made him feel a lot of pressure.

"Is the injury all right now, Lee?"

Ning Ci looked towards Xiao Li and asked about his injury.

"The doctor said that it will take another week to make a full recovery."

Xiao Li said energetically.

His injuries were largely caused by the overuse of the Bamen Dunjia. It can be said that this is a dangerous move that can injure one thousand enemies and injure eight hundred.

"Since this is the case, then don't do some extreme exercises during the recovery period. What if the injury recurs and you suddenly come to the mission?"

said dissatisfied every day.

But she knew that Xiao Li had been secretly doing overloaded physical exercises for the past two days, and she was very worried that his injury, which was about to heal, would prolong the recovery time due to excessive exercise.

"Tian Tian, ​​youth is not allowed to waste time!"

Xiao Li said seriously.

Tiantian rolled his eyes, knowing that what he said was in vain.

"Any plans for today?"

Ning Ci bit the warm rice ball, swallowed it, and asked.

"Mr. Kai is not here, so we can arrange whatever we want. But today is a rainy day, so it is not suitable to go out for training."

Looking at the gloomy sky every day, I don't really want to practice in this kind of weather.

Moreover, the Chunin Exam had just passed, so she didn't want to devote her rare leisure time to cultivating.

She is not a cultivator like Xiao Li.

"So, Tiantian is a girl."

Xiao Li seemed to be thinking about something.

The corner of his mouth twitched every day for his unintentional words, didn't she act like a girl before?

"Ningji, what are your plans?"

"In my case, I probably want to rest at home."

Ning Ci said without hesitation.

"I thought you would, like Li, insist on training in this bad weather."

Tian Tian was surprised, she rarely saw Ning Ci so leisurely.

But she can also guess something, it must be related to the game.

On the surface, he doesn't care, but in his heart, he will definitely be unwilling.

Therefore, Tiantian Zhiqu did not extend the topic to this.

“Even I want to take a break from time to time. Also, I don’t want to get so wet that I get a cold.”

I don't like hot weather, but it's too much to say that I like rainy weather.

"But it's not good to be too leisurely. You must become a Chunin as soon as possible. So let's go to Hokage-sama to accept the task later!"

Even in this kind of rainy day that can dampen people's enthusiasm, Xiao Li's whole body is full of enthusiasm to perform tasks, and wants to exercise himself through various tempering, so that he can grow rapidly.

After passing the Chunin exam this time, he seriously felt his lack of strength. Compared with those top ninjas, he was still far behind.

"No, you will definitely take on those tiring tasks."

Tiantian refused without hesitation.

\"why is it like this?"

And Teacher Kai is not here, let's talk about the task later. "

"Yeah, it's a bit inappropriate to take on a task like this."

Ning Ci nodded, he was not very enthusiastic about carrying out the task at the moment.

"I can't say that completely. If it's a parent-child task, it's different."

\"Parent-child task?"

This new term made Xiao Li and Ning Ci look at Tian Tian in doubt.

"To put it simply, it is to perform missions with family members who are also ninjas. Because the difficulty is very small, and the mission process is relaxed and happy, it will not appear depressed. By the way, you can get close to your family and enjoy the warmth of family affection... Therefore, compared to missions , this is more like a family going on a trip. This is the origin of parent-child tasks. Why, don’t you know?”

Instead, he asked strangely every day.

Xiao Li shook his head without hesitation and said, "No, my parents are not ninjas. I have no idea that such missions exist."

"Hasn't Ningji experienced it?

Asked curiously every day.

Ning Ci hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, I have never performed missions with my family."

I don't know what to say every day.

It would be excusable if they were those who had just graduated, but they were graduates of the previous year, and their life as a genocide had lasted for more than a year. Neji should have time to do this kind of task with his family.

"That's a pity. I heard that after a few days of vacation, Ino and his family will do this kind of task with their families. It's really admirable."

Like Xiao Li, Tiantian's parents are not ninjas, but businessmen who run a ninja shop, and they have never experienced what it is like to perform tasks with their families.

Ning Ci remained silent.

In fact, it's not just the so-called parent-child tasks, he doesn't even have the experience of traveling with his family.

Every time he wants to travel with his family, his father excuses his work and refuses his requests.

Thinking of this, Ning Ci couldn't help but cast a haze in his heart.

Ning Ci suddenly stood up from the bench, Tian Tian and Xiao Li looked at him, always feeling that something happened to Ning Ci, and his face seemed unsightly.

"What's the matter, Ningji?"

"Sorry, I suddenly remembered something at home, so let's stop here today."

"But, that you just... came...

Tian Tian wanted to say something, but saw Neji get up, shuttle through the rain, and return to the Hyuga Clan's place, the words that Tian Tian was holding back stopped in his mouth, unable to continue.

"Ningci's state seems to be a little bit wrong. This is the first time I've seen his serious expression, and I always feel that something big is about to happen."

Looking at Ning Ci's back, Xiao Li felt that it was unusual for Ning Ci to go back suddenly.

"Is Ningji going to be okay?"

I also worry every day, did I say something wrong?

However, in recalling what he said before, there was no intention of offending anyone at all.

"At times like this, it would be better to leave him alone. We've only done a disservice in the past."

This is Xiao Li's sincere speech.

He is very clear that there are some private matters that cannot be helped by others.

As a companion, he can only pray that Neji can come out safe and sound.

"Really, it would be great if Teacher Kai was here. I really don't know what he is busy with."

Every day, I complained bitterly.

noon.

The rainy weather has not improved, but has a trend of getting bigger and bigger.

Seeing the returning figure of Ning Ci, Rizai, who had just returned from the clan's territory, was slightly taken aback.

"Are you back so early today?"

According to his guess, Neji should have lunch with his companions, maybe he won't come back in the afternoon, and he won't come back until after dinner.

"Did father come back from the Zong family?"

Ning Ci did not answer the question.

"Yeah, it's brother... No, it's the patriarch who asked me to discuss some private matters."

Day almost nodded.

"Private matter?"

"It's about Hinata."

Ning Ci blinked, feeling even more confused.

He didn't understand that Hizuru, the patriarch, called his father over just to discuss Hinata's affairs.

If you are running around for the heir of the clan, then it is completely meaningless to find your father.

In the matter of deciding the heir of the clan family, although the branch family has a little right to participate, it is only the right to participate, and the decision-making power has always been in the hands of the clan family.

The vote for family separation was just a formality in the past.

And private matters... This made Neji even more unclear.

Rizai didn't explain directly, but took Neji into a nearby room, the door was not closed, and he could see the rain scene in the courtyard from here.

The father and son sat down on the floor facing each other.

"Speaking of which, Neji, do you have a favorite girl?

Neji's face was very strange when he asked such a sudden question from the day's difference.

Tiantian's voice and appearance instantly appeared in his mind, but it was only for a moment, because Tiantian was the girl of the same age that he had contacted the most times, as for the rest of the girls, he didn't have much contact with them.

When he was in ninja school, he was often single. Although many girls had a crush on him, but to say that he likes this kind of thing,

Ning Ci felt a little too early.

"Why does father ask such a question?"

"Isn't it so? I thought that with your ability, many girls would pursue you."

The day difference said jokingly.

"I haven't thought about it."

"It really looks like your style."

"So, about that so-called private matter, what is it?"

Ning Ci touched up this topic, and was a little curious about the private matters discussed by Nisai to the patriarch Nisato.

"I heard from the patriarch that Hinata seems to have a boy she likes."

Ningci thought of the yellow-haired boy who maintained Hinata and quarreled with him on the way back.

Compared with my own relationship with the opposite sex, as a cousin Hinata seems to have less relationship with the opposite sex.

If Hinata really has a man that he secretly likes, Neji will lock on the target all at once.

"They are impossible."

Ning Ci said directly.

Although there are people who marry out of the Hyuga clan, the number is very small, and they are subject to many restrictions.

What's more, Hinata is the young master of the clan who is likely to inherit the position of patriarch.

Even if Hinata takes a step back and loses in the fight for the position of patriarch, he is also the daughter of the patriarch Hizuzu and the sister of the next patriarch Hyuga, which is of great significance to the clan.

For example, his father is the younger brother of the patriarch Rizu.

With this blood relationship, his father can be said to be the most trusted members of the clan.

Therefore, no matter whether Hinata succeeds in competing for the position of patriarch or not, it is impossible for her to marry outside.

Therefore, if Hinata really has feelings for a foreigner, Neji thinks that breaking it off as soon as possible is good for both parties.

"That child is called Uzumaki Naruto."

Rizai looked at the rain scene in the courtyard.

"Um."

"The identity of that child is a bit unusual."

?

Turning his head, seeing Neji's astonished expression, Hizashi smiled slightly.

"Whether in the past or today, intermarriage between ninjas and ninjas is very common. Especially in the chaotic Warring States Period, since there were no villages, the alliance between ninjas and ninjas usually relied on in-laws To establish a friendly relationship. For example, the first Hokage-sama who founded our Konoha Village, and his wife Uzumaki Mito-sama, represent the union of the two families."

"swirl…"

Ning Ci suddenly thought of something.

He thought of Karin Uzumaki who appeared in the final of the Chunin Exam, who also had the same surname as Naruto.

This surname probably has an unusual meaning.

"Although it is a bit premature to say so, the patriarch is actually not sure about it. The things behind that child are too huge. Even our Hyuga clan is very difficult to deal with. Moreover, it is said that he and one of the three ninjas Master Jiraiya has a lot of connections. The Muji jutsu that he used to defeat Gaara in the Chunin Exam was taught by Master Jiraiya."

Ning Ci did not recover from the shock.

In his cognition, the Hyuga clan can be said to be the role model for all the ninja clans in Konoha. He couldn't imagine that the entire Hyuga clan would give in because of one Uzumaki Naruto.

"I didn't expect him to have such a network."

"Master Hokage also attaches great importance to him. Because of this, the Zong family seems to be in a dilemma."

Sunshine sighed.

Because the initiative in this matter is not in the hands of the Hyuga clan, but in the hands of Hokage.

Naruto's guardian is the Third Hokage.

Even if the third Hokage resigns from the position of Hokage, the fact that the guardian is Hokage will not change.

What's more, there are Sannin behind him, and even Minister Anbu is inextricably linked with him.

Although the Hyuga Clan has long been aware of this kind of thing, considering the intricate relationship behind Naruto, even the Hyuga Clan dare not intervene at will, and can only let it develop naturally.

After all, if Hinata really loses her status as the patriarch, then it is also an option to go out and marry someone.

Judging from the results, it seems that it is not a bad thing.

But the issues of face and tradition are still things that the Zong family needs to consider.

After the split, the strength of the Hyuga Clan is too weak after all. If it is like the Uchiha Clan in the past, even Hokage can face it head-on without fear.

Hyuga couldn't help but sigh. Twenty years later, the Hyuga clan wouldn't be so cautious. That split severely damaged the power of the Hyuga clan.

Ning Ci nodded absently.

It is not too early for the family to consider the issue of marriage so early.

Even today, it is not uncommon for families to get married and have children at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

Compared with the Warring States period, although the average life expectancy has increased a lot, it is not much higher. Therefore, the population problem is still one of the major problems facing the village and even a country.

The only task of those incapable clansmen is to contribute to the family in terms of population.

Not only the Hyuga clan, but also the rest of the ninja clan. The village has specially introduced many preferential policies for this purpose.

"What about Hinata-sama's thoughts? Has the patriarch talked to him?"

Ning Ci asked.

"Not yet, the patriarch and the rest of the clan elders plan to wait and see."

After all, I dare not put the initiative in my own hands.

With the degree of protection Naruto has received from Naruto, Naruto knows exactly what color underwear Naruto is wearing today. It is hard to believe that Naruto knows nothing about the secret love of the eldest daughter of the head of the Hinata clan.

Is that so? "

"You should pay more attention to this matter in the future. After all, she is your cousin. She is different from the rest of the clan."

Riza looked at Neji and said.

"I know, I will pay attention to this aspect in the future, Lord Hinata is not suitable for the environment of the Zong family."

Ning Ci nodded in agreement, even if the day difference didn't require him, he planned to do so.

"That's good, well, it's almost time for lunch, let's...\"

"Father."

Ning Ci suddenly stopped the day difference, and sat still.

"What's wrong?"

Riza looked at Neji suspiciously, and sat down again.

"I want to do parent-child tasks with you in the future."

Ning Ci raised his head and met Rizai's eyes, revealing a hint of longing.

Parent-child tasks? "

He was stunned for a while, he didn't know why Neji would suddenly make this request.

He knows about parent-child tasks, that is, on the premise that both children and parents are ninjas, going out to perform tasks together is a novel way of family travel.

"Well, since I've never experienced such a thing, I want to know what it's like. Is that all right, Father?"

Neji looked at Riza with hopeful eyes.

Rizai was silent, a trace of guilt and grief flashed across his face because it was not just a parent-child task, he found that even the so-called travel, he couldn't give Ning Ci.

"Sorry, recent family affairs..."

The daily difference can only be excused by being busy.

"Actually, I returned to the clan three hours ago, and found the rest of the split ninjas who were as old as me, and asked some questions."

His eyes dodged a little, as if he was looking at Neji in fear.

"Father, do you know? It's quite a coincidence. Those who are as old as me are the same as me. They have never performed parent-child tasks with their families, no, they don't even have the experience of traveling with their families. It's an interesting coincidence."

Following Ning Ci's eloquence, Rizai took a deep breath and looked at Ning Ci with complicated eyes.

In this complicated gaze, there is still comfort.

Because he suddenly realized that ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ his child has grown up and can think about problems on his own, instead of being sheltered under his wings.

But what followed was a burst of sadness and helplessness.

"What do you want to ask?"

"When I went to the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Ghosts to take the exam, my father wasn't doing a task at all, but he was being monitored, right?"

Neji stared at Risai's face, as if trying to find the answer he wanted.

He clenched his fist so hard that his nails almost sank into the flesh.

Looking at Rizai's gaze, there is longing, but also worry, and more anger, and a strong hatred that even he himself has not noticed!

For the sake of the family, the separation of the family went through life and death, but the result was only this kind of fate.

Zongjia!
