Chapter 166 Sasuke’s Awakening! Neji’s Direct “Show” (More Updates)

The Uchiha clan was exterminated just last night. Maybe this time is not suitable for a banquet?

But Whitebeard obviously doesn't care about this kind of thing.

He can have a party if he wants!

Now that I have adopted a daughter, I will have a banquet with the theme of wine and meat and tell everyone about it in a big way!

"Haha! It seems that we will be a family from now on, Izumi." A sudden voice sounded behind Uchiha Izumi.

She looked back in surprise with tears in her eyes.

Quan discovered that behind him was Shisui who had appeared at some unknown time.

Next to Shisui is the eldest sister named Uzumaki Feng!

Izumi Uchiha was very familiar with these two people.

One is the Uchiha senior in Izumi.

The other was the benefactor who healed her.

Uchiha Izumi also saw a man with a shark face, a child with blond hair, a child with red hair, and two children with black hair.

Oh, no...

Only then did she notice that one of the little girls with "black" hair actually had a dark purple hair color. In the dark, this hair color looks too much like black hair.

The other party actually has a pair of supercilious eyes!

Is this the Hyuga clan?

"Hello! My name is Uzumaki Naruto!"

Naruto gave a thumbs up directly to Uchiha Izumi, with a bright and happy smile on his face: "Hehehe, dad has another daughter. Now... we are an official member of the Whitebeard Pirates. , including dad, there are already nine people! The growth rate is very gratifying!"

Uchiha Izumi's eyes widened. The information revealed by Naruto's words had already made her guess a lot of things.

"You too……"

"That's right!" Naruto grinned and said, "We are also father's sons and daughters! This eldest sister is called Uzumaki Fengshi, this is Uzumaki Koso, this is Hinata Hinata, this is Shiro, this It’s Kisame the dried persimmon, and it’s Shisui Uchiha.”

Naruto took the initiative to introduce the names of his family members to Uchiha Izumi.

"I know your name is Uchiha Izumi, hehe..."

Naruto scratched his head and said, "Because Shisui has already mentioned it to me."

"Oh, right!"

Naruto seemed to have remembered something again: "You probably don't know what dad's name is yet, right?"

Uchiha Izumi was about to say that he knew.

But she suddenly reacted.

She only remembered that Whitebeard was nicknamed Whitebeard, but her memory of Whitebeard's real name was very vague. I only vaguely remember having a quick glance at the reward notice, but I didn't remember it.

I remember my father's name being very long.

It should be at least five or six words.

Quan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Hahaha! It's okay!" Naruto said embarrassedly: "When I first met my father, I couldn't remember his name... but now I can definitely remember it! Dad, he Called 'Edward Newgate'!"

"He is the best dad in the world and in the ninja world, bar none! You will never regret joining the Whitebeard Pirates, nor will you regret becoming a family with us!"

Naruto's passionate words made Uchiha Izumi find a sense of belonging to the Whitebeard Pirates.

After all, Quan is still worried. Although her father has accepted her as his daughter, how can she get along well with her new family?

Naruto's enthusiasm made Uchiha Izumi know that he didn't seem to need to worry about these things.

Quan wiped the tears from his face again.

This time it was finally wiped clean.

"Edward Newgate, is this my father's name? I remember it! Then..."

She bowed ninety degrees to Naruto and others: "Then I'll ask for your advice from now on!"

"Quan, there's no need to be so formal."

Although Zhisui couldn't see Quan's movements, he could still guess what Quan was doing based on Quan's tone and words.

He smiled and said: "You are the protagonist of the Whitebeard Pirates' banquet tonight, you have to show some confidence as the protagonist of the banquet!"

"and……"

Shisui paused and continued: "In this welcoming banquet, all the surviving Uchiha clan members can also participate."

The amount of information contained in Shisui's words is also very large.

Although Whitebeard only accepted Izumi Uchiha as his daughter, he has not accepted other Uchiha survivors as his children for the time being.

But his words have already shown that the Whitebeard Pirates have decided to protect the Uchiha people.

That's why they were invited to the banquet.

Let them also participate in this party!

So...

The temporary residence of the entire Whitebeard Pirates began to become lively. The sadness and depression that were still lingering were wiped away by a banquet forced by Whitebeard.

Because there were a lot of people attending this banquet today, there were eighty or ninety people in total.

The wine and meat that the Whitebeard Pirates bought in Konoha these days...

All of them have been moved out by Kisame.

There must be at least several tons of meat!

There must be several tons of wine!

Bundles of bonfires were burning at the temporary base of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Looking down from the sky, it looks like little sparks.

The survivors of the Uchiha clan who were dragged into the banquet did not expect that at the moment when they were the saddest and most helpless... the Whitebeard Pirates would drag them into the banquet.

One by one, the adult Uchiha tribesmen were drinking heavily to numb the sadness in their hearts.

Drink in memory of deceased loved ones.

Also use wine to usher in a new life.

Minors who cannot drink alcohol are holding cups of juice. They are very young and do not understand all this.

Many of them don't even know why their parents died like this?

Why did their Uchiha begin to move around?

No one answered the doubts in my heart.

After all, some truths are too harsh for them.

But the warm atmosphere of the banquet still made their dazed and helpless little faces finally reveal a somewhat reassuring smile.

Even the youngest child, holding his pacifier in his mouth, looked curiously at the barbecue in front of him that was being roasted by the flames until it was sizzling with oil.

At this time... Sasuke was squatting next to a tent.

This is his temporary residence.

As the son of the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke is a very special one because his elder brother is Uchiha Itachi.

Even though many people know that Sasuke is also an innocent person, and even the miserable one of the Uchiha clan.

But anger towards Uchiha Itachi was always inevitable.

Although the tribesmen refrained from saying anything.

But he didn't take the initiative to communicate with Sasuke.

It's like there is a boundary with him. This boundary may disappear over time, but it is obviously not tonight.

Sasuke sat alone.

It is precisely because of this loneliness that the tent behind him is assigned to him alone, and he can live in it alone.

No one lives with him.

No one sat next to him.

until……

snap——

A small hand rested on his left shoulder, and Sasuke suddenly felt someone approaching him.

The other party also had the smell of roasted cumin, and when he started to speak, the smell of cumin became even stronger: "Look who I found? It's Uzumaki Naruto's best friend - Uchiha Sasuke clatter!"

"Hehehe!" Naruto held Sasuke's shoulder with one hand and grabbed a large handful of skewers with the other hand. He handed the handful of skewers to Sasuke: "I grilled these for you myself. Oh! Welcome to join the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Naruto regards the Uchiha clan as vassals of the pirate group.

Of course, this is actually the case.

This is not shameful for the current Uchiha clan.

Now that a powerful force dares to protect the Uchiha clan, it is the Uchiha clan's greatest luck.

after all……

No one dared to provoke Uchiha Itachi, who almost wiped out the entire Uchiha clan by himself.

For many ninjas in Konoha Village...

Uchiha has become synonymous with "misfortune" and "bad luck".

Who made their experience so miserable.

"Genocide" overnight!

"...I'm not hungry." Sasuke stared at the skewers in front of him, his throat moving up and down, but he felt a little embarrassed.

The son of the dignified leader of the Uchiha clan fell into this situation.

There was still a huge gap in Sasuke's heart.

He turned his head away, forcing himself not to look at the skewers.

"Oh, really?"

It's a pity that Sasuke can't hide all his thoughts because his emotions are written all over his face.

Naruto smiled and said: "If you don't eat it, then I will eat it!"

Naruto made a point of eating a skewer.

And he ate with a grin on his face.

"Bah-"

"Bah-"

"Bah-"

"Gululu..." Sasuke's stomach finally couldn't bear the temptation of this kind of food. He tried very hard not to stare at the handful of skewers, but his eyes didn't listen to him.

Sasuke grabbed the handful of skewers, picked up a skewer and stuffed it into his mouth. In one fell swoop, he stuffed all the grilled meat on the skewer into his mouth and chewed it vigorously.

It was as if what he was eating was not a skewer of grilled meat but Uchiha Itachi.

A large handful of skewers contains more than thirty skewers.

Sasuke was stunned.

Eat them all.

"Huh..." Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief at the slight feeling of fullness, which also swept away a lot of the haze in his heart.

"It's delicious." Sasuke said this for some reason: "Thank you, Naruto."

"Of course, I have been practicing my barbecue skills for more than a year! Besides... we are best friends, what's there to thank you for? You are hungry, and I can give you something to eat, then I’ll share it with you, isn’t that natural?”

What Naruto said was sound and logical.

"You are not a useless person who has been unable to recover after being hit. You are Uchiha Sasuke who has always had the motivation and determination to surpass me!" Naruto's smile was very contagious: "You are worthy of me. Treat it sincerely!”

Naruto's attitude was compared to that of the Uchiha survivors who, although they did not discriminate against him, chose not to communicate with him...

It's like one is in the sky and the other is on the ground.

Sasuke actually didn't blame those clansmen. Because it was indeed Uchiha Itachi who killed their family, and Uchiha Itachi was indeed his brother. This relationship could not be cut off no matter what.

But Sasuke didn't expect that he had fallen into this situation.

Naruto can also treat himself with such a sincere attitude.

It is impossible to say that I am not moved.

"Naruto..." Sasuke took a deep breath, and he turned to look at Naruto next to him: "I know you really want me to come out of the shadow of last night... but as long as that man lives for one day, I will never I will come out of the shadows. Because I am shrouded in the shadows and can always maintain my hatred for him."

"He? Your brother?" Naruto said the name.

Before, when Izumi Uchiha said the word "brother" in front of Sasuke, Sasuke's reaction was very big.

Now, Sasuke didn't know why he didn't react.

Is he too familiar with Naruto?

Does it make Naruto special?

"Yeah!" However, Sasuke didn't think too much about this.

He nodded, then lowered his head and looked quietly at the bonfire in front of him, and replied: "Only by killing him can I get out of the shadows; only by killing him can I draw a clear line with him and gain the respect of other tribesmen. Recognition.”

"Then what are you going to do?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke said in a serious tone: "I need to become stronger, to become stronger at all costs, to become stronger than now, to become stronger than that man! Then, kill him!"

"Become stronger?" Naruto suddenly realized.

"Sasuke." Naruto said: "Do you have the courage to risk your life completely? Even in the process of becoming stronger... you may not have had time to kill that man, but you have already become stronger because of your desire to do so. Put yourself in a place of death.”

Naruto's words were a bit convoluted, but Sasuke thought about it for a few seconds and figured out what he meant.

"If I die before killing him, then my soul going to the underworld will never succumb to death."

Sasuke clenched his fists: "Even if I die, my soul will crawl out of the underworld and drag that person down to die together!"

"I want him to see his father, mother, and all the clan members he killed with his own eyes!"

Become stronger, take revenge, and strengthen the Uchiha clan.

This was the goal in young Sasuke's heart.

"Hahaha! Then you can train with me tomorrow!"

Naruto warmly invited: "I, Naruto Uzumaki, will make a special training plan suitable for you! You have to be careful! This is special training that is very likely to kill you!"

"Special training..." Sasuke knew that Naruto became so powerful so quickly after going through Whitebeard's special sadistic training.

Sasuke also knew how exaggerated the intensity of this special training was.

Because he had imitated Naruto once, but he persisted for less than half an hour before his muscles ached all over his body, and he even lay at home for several days after returning home.

Sasuke was actually a little scared.

But……

The hatred in his heart for Uchiha Itachi allowed him to overcome the fear in his heart. Since you are not even afraid of risking your own life, why should you be afraid of special torture training?

"good!!!"

As time passed, the banquet of the Whitebeard Pirates lasted from eight o'clock in the evening to two o'clock in the morning.

The long banquet allowed many Uchiha to dissipate some sadness.

They also accepted the protection of the Whitebeard Pirates.

It also made them recognize the Whitebeard Pirates.

It is worth mentioning that... although Whitebeard only accepted two Uchiha, Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Shisui.

But when many Uchiha people call Whitebeard, they don't call them Lord Whitebeard or Captain Whitebeard.

They actually shouted "Daddy" as well.

Fortunately, Whitebeard is old enough.

Otherwise, it would be a strange scene for some older Uchiha people to call Whitebeard "Dad".

…

The residence of the Hyuga clan.

"Hizu-sama, the elder of the Hyuga Sect and his two chuunin guards have been missing for two days."

A member of the Hyuga clan reported the situation to Hyuga Hizashi.

After all, Hyuga Daisou is considered a big figure among Hyuga, so it must be a big deal for him to suddenly disappear.

After learning about this situation.

Hinata Hizu frowned: "The elder is missing? Before he disappeared... did he leave any letters? Did he enter his house to check?"

"Master Rizu, we have gone inside and checked, and we found no letters or clues left behind."

A member of the Hyuga clan replied: "There are no traces of fighting in the house, only some traces of the aftermath when the Uchiha clan was exterminated."

"But if it is said that the great elder was affected by the aftermath, that is not true, because his body was not found. The great elder seemed to have evaporated in the ninja world!"

Speaking of this, the Hyuga clan member couldn't help but secretly swallow his saliva.

A former jounin and two young chunin.

Just disappeared without a trace...

Isn't it too weird?

"..." Hinata Hizu was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then asked: "Did the elders meet anyone before they disappeared?"

"This, I don't know yet."

"Go and check. If you find out that he has met someone, then let that person come to see me."

"Yes, Lord Hizu!"

It is actually not difficult to check this matter. After all, the Hyuga clan, which values ​​bloodline orthodoxy, is not as "luxurious" as the Uchiha clan. The entire Hyuga clan is stationed at full capacity, but there are only about a hundred people.

Soon, someone found out that Hyuga Daisou had met "Hyuuga Neji" before disappearing.

This news also reached Hinata and Hizu.

So Hizu wanted to see Neji.

late at night.

Neji is here.

"Is this the first time the two of us have met since Hinata left the Hyuga clan?" In an empty room in the mansion, there were only two people, Hinata Hizashi and Hyuga Neji.

There is a candlestick beside each of them.

And they were kneeling and looking at each other.

There is only a little more than one meter apart.

Although Konoha has had electric lights for a long time, they rarely use electric lights for lighting. They basically use candles, focusing on an ancient tradition.

The candlelight swayed left and right in the house. It turned out to be a crack in the window, and a little wind blew in.

This kind of flickering can also bring a sense of tension to people.

It's hard not to wonder if it was done intentionally.

"Yes." Neji nodded.

Before Hinata left the Hyuga clan, Neji's mission was to protect Hinata and train with Hinata.

After Hinata left, he didn't need to do these two tasks.

Of course, if Hinata Hanabi grows up one day, maybe he will transfer the mission target to Hinata Hanabi.

"Ningji... have you heard about the disappearance of the elder? I heard that you have met with the elder several times. Can you tell me, the head of the family, what do you know?"

Hinata Hiashi looked into Hinata Neji's eyes.

In fact, he just wanted to get some clues from Neji.

But I didn't expect that Neji's answer was not surprising: "What about the elder? I know how he is. He is dead, and the two guards around him are also dead. Although they are not me He killed it with his own hands, but I was also involved, so it’s not much different from what I killed.”

Not a single brat heeded Nara Shikaku's "warning".

Sasuke selectively forgot about it, and so did Neji.

Neji's eyes met Hinata Hinashi's.

It was obvious that he was only an eight-year-old child, but when he looked at an adult, and this adult was the head of the family, he didn't show the slightest hint of timidity!

And the words that came out of Neji's mouth...

Hinata was even more stunned.

His eyes widened a bit
