Chapter 174 She Looks Like My Daughter (Second Update!)

Akimichi Teizao squinted his eyes and looked cautiously, the reason why he subconsciously uttered that name.

More than just “redheads.”

There is also that "little pepper"-like temperament.

"No, that's not Kushina." Namikaze Minato shook his head very decisively.

Although it looks like.

But it’s “a world of difference.”

"There is no forehead protector." Kakashi reached out and held the short knife behind his back, "I don't know my identity."

His tone was serious.

To a ninja, the absence of a "sign" is a danger sign.

and

This person is very strong.

The chakra is huge and the teleportation speed is very fast.

"Stop!" Aburame Zhiwei stretched out her hand, and dense parasites like a dark cloud poured out of her body and blocked the front of the team, "Tell me your purpose."

The redhead stopped.

"Don't be so nervous." Xianglin raised her hand and greeted cheerfully, "I don't mean any harm."

"Just coming to meet an acquaintance."

She smiled and looked at the blond hair.

The atmosphere solidified and became weird.

The rest of the team followed their gaze and landed on Namikaze Minato.

He raised his hand and pointed at himself: "Do we know each other?"

"You don't know me yet." Xianglin said in a brisk tone.

Don’t know me yet?

What does this "qualifier" mean?

Namikaze Minato looked past her to the bustling city, vaguely guessing.

"As expected of the future Fourth Hokage." Xianglin followed his gaze and looked back, "Have you already got an idea?"

"You want to say that you are a person who came back from the future under the influence of the power of dragon veins?" Namikaze Minato said softly.

Xianglin nodded: "That's right."

"Are you going to Loulan?"

"It's better to be together."

She extended the invitation.

Namikaze Minato thought for a moment: "Really?"

"Then let's go together."

Several people in the team frowned.

Namikaze Minato smiled at Kaoru and said in a gentle voice: "Please wait a moment. I'll talk to my teammates about something, okay?"

Xianglin nodded and stepped away.

"Minato, let a stranger join the team" Akimichi Choza shook his head.

"And the idea of ​​coming back from the future." The Hyuga family member also spoke with a veto attitude, "Isn't it a little ridiculous?"

Namikaze Minato looked at him and said softly: "Hizashi-sama, this is not ridiculous."

"actually"

"When I discussed this matter with Mr. Jiraiya and the Third Hokage, I basically confirmed that the two people who appeared in Loulan were members of the Hyuga family who came back from the future."

Hinata Hizashi was shocked.

"The reason why I didn't tell you is just because this kind of content involving 'time' may cause irreversible troubles in the future." Namikaze Minato continued, "So we all agree that the fewer people who know, the better." good."

"After this mission is over, I will seal the relevant memories of myself, you, Teacher Jiraiya, and the Third Hokage. The seal will not be unlocked until this happens."

The other four people responded: "Understood."

"As for that girl." Namikaze Minato couldn't help but look back, "She gives me a feeling of intimacy."

Akimichi Dingza nodded and said seriously: "The first time I saw her, I mistakenly thought she was Kushina."

"She might be my child." Namikaze Minato smiled shyly.

Kakashi was surprised.

Hinata was moved.

"The possibility is not small." Aburame Zhiwei agreed, "Would you like to ask?"

Namikaze Minato shook his head: "Better not."

"After all, she is from the future and is not in the same era as us."

"As a father, there is nothing better than being able to see your children grow up and be sunny and cheerful in the future."

Said.

He paused and looked slightly serious: "Besides, having her join our team is also a good thing for the mission."

"I still can't confirm that she is really from the future."

"We can't confirm what her purpose is before."

"Keep her under our surveillance, at least controllable."

Aburame Zhi nodded slightly: "Understood."

Namikaze Minato waved his hand and the team formed a formation.

"Let's go." He came to Xianglin's side with a gentle tone.

Xianglin tilted her head. Even if she didn't use "Kagura's Heart Eye" now, she could still feel that a small insect had landed on her shoulder.

She smiled at Aburame Shi: "Then let's go."

Loulan Kingdom, in the city.

A quiet room.

The maid knocked on the door, and after getting the answer from the person inside, she pushed the door open and entered.

"Lord Neji, those golden-haired ninjas you predicted were found in the city." The maid's voice was soft.

In the room, the man meditating raised his head and opened his eyes: "Really?"

"Where is he now?"

The maid replied: "We followed your instructions and did not conflict with him."

"He's also very easy to talk to."

"Now we will be escorted to the conference room."

"Someone else has gone to inform Hinata-sama."

Hinata Neji stood up, strode out of the room, and headed towards the conference room.

Go through the corridor, the courtyard, and push the heavy door open.

Sunlight pours into the house from the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Neji." In the room, the blond boy looked at him and grinned, "Should I say "Long time no see."

Two foxes with brilliant fur lie in the sun.

You are resting on my tail and I am resting on yours. We are taking a nap.

"Long time no see, Naruto-kun." There was a hint of fluctuation in Neji's tone.

Footsteps came from behind.

It was Hinata who was running all the way. After entering the house, her steps were hesitant and heavy: "Long time no see, Naruto-kun."

"When did you come?" Naruto waved to them.

After the two sat down.

Neji replied: "Four years ago."

"Is the difference so long?" Naruto was slightly surprised. He thought the time difference would only be a few months at most, but he didn't expect it to be as long as four years.

Neji shook his head: "I don't know why."

"Can you tell me what happened to you?" Naruto asked him.

Neji nodded, considered his words, and started from the beginning, speaking in detail.

He and Hinata came to Loulan four years ago.

This country is not as prosperous as it is now.

The two searched the entire "Lolan Kingdom" for four years, but could not find Naruto and Xianglin, nor Xiao Li and Tiantian, so they realized that they might have been affected by the power of the dragon vein in different timelines.

They didn't want to go back to Konoha for fear of missing Naruto.

Just stay in "Loulan".

Four years ago, Neji already had the strength of a jounin. Although Hinata was a little inferior, she was still a good chuunin with her Byakugan.

With them here, Loulan's trade was guaranteed, and the country gradually prospered and was built into what it is now.

"Xiao Li and Tiantian haven't been found yet?" Naruto nodded, thoughtfully.

"We didn't find Uzumaki Kaori either." Hinata added in a low voice.

Naruto looked at her: "Then it should be a matter of time."

"Maybe they'll be later?"

Hinata Neji hesitated and his emotions fluctuated. He thought for a while: "Naruto, since they haven't appeared yet."

"Then me."

"I beg you a favor."

As he spoke, he left his seat and knelt down to Naruto's seat. His tone was sincere and solemn: "I heard that you are very good at sealing techniques."

"I hope you can remove the 'Caged Bird' curse mark on me."

Naruto said calmly: "A caged bird?"

He was deeply impressed by this "curse seal" and showed it to everyone during the joint chunin exam.

"Yes." Hinata Neji responded.

"Let me take a look." Naruto held out his hand to him.

Neji stood up, walked to Naruto, knelt down and took off the decoration on his head.

There is a cyan "oblique cross" in the center of the forehead, and on the left and right sides, there are long horizontal waves that are mirror images.

Naruto stretched out his hand and tapped it gently.

This is a completely different technique from the "Sealing Technique of the Uzumaki Clan".

It is an extremely dangerous time bomb and extremely fragile.

Just looking at it made me "shiver" and want to be broken.

Of course, this "curse seal" is still in the "ninja" knowledge system, but it only involves part of the content related to "soul".

When it breaks, it will immediately destroy the brain, destroy the eyes, and destroy the soul.

"It's a really tricky seal." Naruto said softly.

Neji took a deep breath, and his tone was inevitably low: "Even Naruto"

"It's not that I can't crack it." Naruto shook his head, "It's not complicated."

"only."

"Your body and soul are both fragile. What gives me a headache is how to break this seal without harming your body and soul."

Neji was pleasantly surprised.

Byakugan without "pupil" can also produce such a wonderful expression.

"Naruto-kun"

Hinata Neji's voice was so excited that his whole body was unstable.

"No, Uzumaki-sama."

"I beg you to undo the curse seal on my head. I can bear it no matter what the cost."

"Hyuga Neji's life is yours from now on."

Naruto raised his hand and tapped on the "caged bird": "If you just want to escape from one cage to another cage."

"What's the point of unraveling it?"

Hinata Neji was stunned.

"I don't want your life." Naruto's fingertips, the power of his soul fluctuated, "Let's make an agreement."

"I will form an organization called 'Seireitei'."

"Do whatever you want to do while you're alive."

"When you die, you will become a member of my organization."

"How about it?"

He was not undoing the seal for Neji, he was just copying the "curse seal", channeling the scroll with his other hand, and storing it completely.

"After death?" Neji was stunned.

"I don't want to say those words that I have said many times." Naruto tilted his head and looked into the distance, "But will you serve me after death?"

"Of course." Neci lowered his head to show his surrender, "I belong to Uzumaki-sama now."

Hinata looked envious.

Myself too.

I really want to say this.

"I will study this curse seal in the next few days." Naruto stretched out his finger, "There is another thing that you may need to worry about."

"Xiang Lin seems to have found some interesting people."

Neji raised his head: "Master Xianglin showed up?"

(Happy Chinese Valentine's Day, too)
