Chapter 841 Guan Liyuan’s Gift (Two in One)

The federal mission received invitations to meet from three parties at the same time, but Shizune, who is more conservative, chose to meet the Fifth Hokage first - although I heard that he is the one who speaks the least weight now!

However, what she didn't know was that at the same time, one of the twelve guards, a royal sister, quietly lurked in the forest next to Konoha... found a place where no one was around, formed a seal and waited silently.

Not long after, I saw a young ninja with completely white eyes and a Konoha forehead protector on his head. He also came here with a clear goal.

That's right, the person who came was none other than Hinata Neji!

And the royal guard is naturally the cross-dressing boss - Orochimaru.

Because of his father's self-sacrifice, Ningci possesses the "Caged Bird Curse Seal" with the highest authority level in the branch family. Although he is still subject to restrictions from all aspects, if he actively cooperates with Orochimaru's research, he will not be discovered by Hyuga Hizashi.

After Guan Liyuan obtained Toshiro...that is, the Byakugan of Hyuuga Hizashi that was blackmailed away by Yunyin Village, he had an in-depth talk with Ningji and reached a "deal".

The content of the deal is that Hyuga Neji will cooperate with Guan Liyuan and Orochimaru to study the "Caged Bird Curse Seal" of the Hyuga family, and Guan Liyuan will help everyone in the Hyuga family lift the curse seal - just "helping" everyone to lift the curse, not in this way As a threat, as for how to choose the people who would separate the family in the future, Neji felt that he did not need to be loyal to the clan to the extent of voluntarily becoming a slave.

If other branch families are willing to continue to obey the clan's arrangements, then it is a sign that Hyuga Rizu's leadership is good. If they are not willing... then it is also the clan's own fault.

Neji subjectively does not want to destroy the Hinata family, but the "Caged Bird Curse Seal" should not exist - this is the consensus reached between him and Guan Liyuan.

Afterwards, Orochimaru imposed a "seal" on Neji. As long as it is not unlocked, he will not have this part of the memory of cooperating with the Federation, lest his acting skills are not up to standard and exposed.

Only when Ningci goes out on a mission, if there is a chance, Orochimaru will ask him to cooperate with some experiments...

But this time, Orochimaru was directly near Konoha and remotely released Neji's memory seal. As expected, Neji came all the way.

"We meet again, young man from the Hyuga clan." Orochimaru said in his own voice, without hiding his identity.

But this time Neji said with a stern face: "Let's terminate our deal!"

"Oh? Don't you want the 'Caged Bird Curse Seal' to disappear forever?" Orochimaru didn't look surprised.

Neji was silent for a moment after hearing this, but finally said: "I do want the caged bird to disappear, but... I will not betray Konoha. Since Konoha wants to go to war with you, I will not cooperate with you anymore! Of course , you can also choose to expose me, after all, I have indeed cooperated with you."

"Don't forget that Konoha acquiesced in the existence of the Caged Bird Curse Seal," Orochimaru said.

However, Neji did not respond and just remained silent.

Sure enough, Neji did not want to betray Konoha because of the "Caged Bird Curse Seal", and it was not even a betrayal to the Hyuga clan. Without the "Caged Bird Curse Seal", the clan would not be able to control Hinata and would even be retaliated against. That would be The Zong family caused it themselves.

However, now that Konoha has declared and renewed the Federation as enemies, Neji gave up cooperation after hesitation. He felt that if he continued, he might inadvertently hurt Konoha.

As a ninja of Konoha, Neji still has a strong sense of belonging to Konoha.

"Well, His Excellency the Grand Speaker has already anticipated your choice, I just want to give it a final try..." Orochimaru pretended to be helpless.

Neji instantly became nervous, thinking that the other party wanted to take action...

"Don't worry, our Great Speaker is still very upright. Since you don't want to cooperate, forget it. There is no need to seal the memory in the future. Even... His Excellency the Great Speaker said that the 'meeting gift' has been given to you. , he is only keeping it for safekeeping and will not take it back, and will return it to you with the help of the mission later." Orochimaru said.

Ningci showed some excitement when he heard this. The so-called "meeting gift" was the Hyuuga Hizashi that Guan Liyuan "sent" to him, which was one of his father's eyes. Guan Liyuan dug it out from Kumo Ninja Toshiro. !

However, in order to prevent Neji from being unable to explain the origin of the eyes, Guan Liyuan proposed to keep them on his behalf.

Originally, Neji was ready to sacrifice when he came this time, but even so... he didn't want to hurt Konoha.

However, he didn't expect that the other party would be so magnanimous. Not only would it be "easy to get together and get away", but he would also give his father's eyes back to him?

If it was returned to Konoha by a mission, there would naturally be no need for Neji to explain...

"Thank you... thank you! If there are things that won't hurt Konoha or my companions in the future, I will definitely cooperate with you!" Neji was very moved, and he still couldn't distinguish between "give it back to you" and "give it back." You” difference.

"The only thing you can do to help Mr. Speaker is to be a caged bird... Forget it, I won't force you if you don't want to, but if you change your mind, you can find a place where no one is around and open this A scroll." Orochimaru said and handed the scroll to Neji.

Orochimaru looked at Neci's leaving figure and couldn't help but murmured: How could there be such a moral person like the Great Speaker?

Of course, Guan Liyuan answered him this question - I just gave him a chance to see Konoha clearly, and I also gave Konoha a chance, didn't I? I'm the one walking the tightrope, right? If they have one-tenth of my integrity, I will lose everything...

Why do Orochimaru and Guan Liyuan have such a conversation?

The reason lies within the mission...

Just when Orochimaru met Neji, Konoha had already broken down with the delegation. After knowing that Tsunade had joined the Renewal Federation and accused Konoha of starting an unprovoked war, the advisory board and Danzo not only did not feel guilty, but scolded Shizune in front of him. Tsunade, threatened to declare her a traitorous nin.

Uchiha Itachi felt that what Tsunade said made sense, but now it was hard to support the tree alone!

While Shizune was angry, she did not forget Tsunade's request... In fact, this was what Orochimaru asked Tsunade to do.

He made the last effort to give Konoha a "gift" - yes, it was the Byakugan that changed hands many times! Previously, Guan Liyuan specially gave the Byakugan "Bi Diao Express" to Orochimaru.

"Is this... the Byakugan of the Kumo ninja Tushiro that was taken away?" Advisor Mito Monobu shouted after seeing the Byakugan in the container.

They knew about Toshiro's murder before, and now they all know that it was Guan Liyuan who did it!

Shizune's tone stiffened when she heard the words, and then she said angrily: "Toshiro's Byakugan? How could a Kumo ninja have Byakugan... This is Hinata Hizashi's Byakugan! The Byakugan that you were blackmailed by the so-called 'ally' back then, Your Excellency, the Chancellor I have taken it back and am willing to return it to you! I hope you can figure out who is the enemy and who can be a friend!"

Mito knew he had made a mistake, and glanced at Hinata Hinashi who was present with some embarrassment - as the head of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hinata played an important role in the village and also attended the meeting.

What Tsunade told her before...or Orochimaru told Tsunade is that no matter whether the peace talks are successful or not, the "gift" must be given.

After Shizune left angrily, Konoha's top brass looked at them with "rolled eyes", and many secretly glanced at Hinata and Hinashi.

The updated federation returned the white eyes. Naturally, they would not interpret it as "goodwill". Instead, the white eyes are now very sensitive!

From the source, this has been regarded as a "given" to Kumogakure by Konoha, and the previous attack and death of Toyo was caused by the "Renewal Federation", the common enemy of the two.

Now that the Federation has returned the white eyes, can they just accept it? Once accepted, what will Yunyin Village think next?

In particular, Shizune also deliberately emphasized the words "ally" and "friend". If she really accepts it, will Kumogakure think that Konoha has formed an alliance with the Federation?

You must know that Yunyin Village is already somewhat suspicious of Konoha...

What they wanted to do most was to send the Byakugan back to Kumogakure Village, but what would Hinata and Hinata think of doing this?

"The Hyuga clan... is the strongest clan in Konoha, and they will also have people standing on Konoha's side. I feel a little uncomfortable. You can discuss the future matters and just inform me." Hyuga and Hizu also understood the embarrassment now and sighed. With a cry, he left his seat.

Hinata Hizashi's meaning of "putting the overall situation first" is already very clear, and others know better what to do... Anyway, they did the same thing back then. There was also a corpse sent there with Byakugan!

However... what depressed the senior management of Konoha was that without an airtight wall, the news of the mission's gifts still spread in the village.

What happened to Hinata Hizashi made many Konoha ninjas dissatisfied - they would rather fight to the death with Kumogakure.

However, the top management of Konoha did not allow such irrational things to happen, and still solved the problem in a "putting the overall situation first" approach.

After the news about the mission's return of the Byakugan spread in Konoha, many ninjas felt happy and their impression of the Federation was much better, especially the ninjas of the Hyuga clan. Because of this, many ninjas split up. They all have great opinions on the Zong family, but with the "Caged Bird Curse Seal" around, these "opinions" can be ignored.

The happiest person right now is naturally Neji...

But... after waiting and waiting, Hizashi's Byakugan was not returned to the Hyuga family for burial. Instead, Konoha decided to "return" the Byakugan for the sake of friendship with Kumogakure Village!

This was the third day of the mission's visit. After hearing the news, Shizune felt sulky for a long time and was ready to return without success. Although it was raining heavily outside, Shizune didn't want to stay for a moment.

During the same heavy rain, Hyuga Hizashi rarely supervised his daughter's fireworks preparations or paid attention to family affairs. Instead, he drank alone under the eaves while watching the heavy rain...

Hyuga Hizu also knows that there is someone more depressed than him now, but... As the head of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hizu believes that his decision is right.

However, the previous three clan elders proposed to "reduce Ningji's authority for extraordinary promotion" - the reason was that if this situation happens again, it may affect Ningji's loyalty to the family...

As a result, not only did Hyuga and Hizu not agree, but he also gave a rare scolding to the three clan elders. Hyuga and Hizu were just looking out for the overall situation, not being crazy...

And Ningji... Although he originally had resentment towards the Hyuga clan, he did not want to destroy it. In Ningji's opinion, breaking the "Caged Bird Curse Seal" was a "better" result for the Hyuga clan, but not for the clan. Just disadvantageous.

There is no doubt about Neji's sense of belonging and loyalty to Konoha. Even if what happened back then happened, although he couldn't accept it, he could understand it... At least that was the case before today.

But "loyalty" is not something that can be tested repeatedly.

In the heavy rain, Neji knelt alone in front of the tomb he had erected for his father for an unknown length of time... and finally opened the scroll Orochimaru gave him.

As Guan Liyuan said... He is the one walking the tightrope. Some people have a little bit of integrity, but now he has lost all his money. However, those who have integrity have no say, and the big shots with the right to say are "looking forward" to him to make money. Then you can't blame him for being rude!

"Child, it seems that our gift failed to reach you... But don't worry, we will get it back again." Orochimaru's voice sounded behind Neji.

Just when an event occurred in Konoha that would change the direction of future ninja wars, Guan Liyuan also had an unexpected gain in the Land of Thunder!

"Hmm? One, two, three... five blood successor ninjas? There seems to be a very rare pupil type blood successor ninja, and... it doesn't seem to be a Kumo ninja? When did the blood successor ninja in the Kingdom of Thunder become like this? Too many." Guan Liyuan muttered as he looked at the "thieves group" attacking the official convoy of Kingdom of Thunder in front of him.

Although the Kingdom of Thunder is famous for its martial arts, and Cloud Hidden Village is also committed to studying ninjutsu from various countries...but it shouldn't be a bloody battle!

The five ninjas who seemed to be from the "Thieves Group" turned out to be all blood successors, and four of them were mixed chakra type blood successors, and the other one... was actually a rare physical type blood successor, or... The blood inheritance limit of the "pupil technique" type.

The ninja with the limit of pupil skills and blood succession looks like a "little girl", but Guan Liyuan, who is sensitive to natural energy, finds that the natural energy in her body is more like that of an adult in his twenties.

In addition, what Guan Liyuan is concerned about is that the reason why the natural energy has the "smell of blood" is the source of the "little girl's" pupil power!

It is certain that these people are not Kumo ninjas, because the target of their attack is a convoy protected by the Thunder King's royal family guardian ninjas and Kumo ninjas, but they do not seem to be important people, because the ninjas are not strong and have no Too many followers, more like a transport team.

"Let's end it... Tai Escape: Strong Wind Break!"

I saw a young ninja with blue hair who was the leader of the thieves group, suddenly using the blood successor ninjutsu... Based on Guan Liyuan's perception analysis, it should be a kind of "wind + thunder" chakra mixed blood successor, and Troy The chakra properties of the magnetic release are the same, but the results of the mixing are different. This is a kind of chakra inheritance with a "wind" nature.

Under the attack of the strong wind, the last few ninjas of the Kingdom of Thunder still standing rushed to the street...

"Done! Quick, move everything away...these hateful nobles of the Kingdom of Thunder are really greedy." said the blue-haired young man.

Sure enough, they were robbed, and when Guan Liyuan looked at the things they moved from the convoy, he immediately understood that this should be the tax transportation team of the Kingdom of Thunder. Half of the "goods" were grain, and some were livestock, coins, and... The messy things seemed to have been snatched randomly.

Regarding this situation, Guan Liyuan also knew what was going on. He had encountered it before in the Kingdom of Thunder.

Just look at the grains and you will see that most of them are high-yield crops exported from the federation, but some are ordinary crops!

Faced with the leakage of high-yielding crops and chakra training methods, the national policy of the Kingdom of Thunder is to directly execute those who are found to be cultivating chakra privately. In addition, taxes will be increased directly based on the output of high-yielding crops - and the increase is very extreme, so that even if ordinary people Plant high-yielding crops and there won’t be any more food left than before.

This completely ensures that chakra power will not flow into the private sector, and that the officials of the Kingdom of Thunder and Cloud Hidden Village can enjoy the "dividends" of innovation to the greatest extent.

As the toughest country among the five major countries, this method of handling is very characteristic of them, and the civilians of the Kingdom of Thunder did not expect this result.

However, there is a serious problem with this, that is, some people do not plant high-yielding crops in time. This round of taxation can only be supplemented by selling iron and steel, so some messy things are included in the "taxation"...

"Captain, there are...there are a few girls here..." When another ninja opened a section of the carriage, he saw several tied girls stuffed inside and was a little confused.

"Hmm? Untie them first... Hmm... Don't worry, I will send you home in a while, and the things that were robbed will be returned to you later!" The blue-haired young ninja said very generously.

And Guan Liyuan, who was observing from a distance, could probably guess their identities...

Sure enough, one of the "little girls" went over to comfort a few young ladies, patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, our Thunder Light Group are righteous thieves and we will definitely save everyone!"

Guan Liyuan couldn't help but murmured: "It's true that good people are rewarded, Thunder Light Group... I just gave Konoha a big gift, and I immediately received a gift in return from the Kingdom of Thunder..."

Dongdong: Ahem, the sneezing problem I mentioned yesterday is just a little leakage. Don’t imagine it too much... Also, the reason why I didn’t change my pants is because Dongdong was completely naked while coding on the bed! What's the problem? P.s: Tofu curd is salty.
