Chapter 140 Neji, you've been to the jar shop! The effects of Wood Release, Hiruzen Sarutobi
Chapter 140 Neji, you've been to the jar shop! The effects of Wood Release, Hiruzen Sarutobi's ugly expression.
Upon seeing the corpses at the scene, the expressions of the ninjas present all changed.
Without the slightest hesitation, someone immediately took them to the hospital.
Some people sealed off the scene and then ran to report to the Third Hokage.
"there."
The entrance to the jar shop.
Lin Mo sat by the door, gazing in the direction of the explosion.
He looked at the ninja who quickly walked past him with a strange expression.
He didn't believe that such a loud explosion was caused by any detonating tags.
"Could it be Tenten's missile?"
Thinking of the missiles that are launched every day, Lin Mo rubbed his temples.
What happened this time that caused Tiantian to fire that thing?
This is how the last bomb drop was done.
The same applies to missiles nowadays.
"never mind."
Shaking his head, Lin Mo went back into the house, ignoring everything.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with him.
"The most urgent task is to refine and store chakra, and then convert it into mana."
"When I use magic to cast Earthly Fiend Techniques or those ninjutsu, it feels like the power is even stronger than before."
"What I need to train now is the Eight Gates and the Ope Ope no Mi (Operation Fruit). I just need to get familiar with the Bloodline Limit."
Thinking of the methods he now possessed, Lin Mo narrowed his eyes and used his clone technique to create three clones.
Three clones were assigned: one to study the Eight Gates Released Formation scroll until mastery, one to master the Ope Ope no Mi (Operation Fruit), and one to master the Kekkei Genkai (Bloodline Limit).
His true form, on the other hand, chose to refine chakra and then convert it into mana to accumulate.
Since he has better magical power, he naturally can no longer use chakra to activate ninjutsu or perform certain abilities.
When Lin Mo refined chakra and transformed it into mana.
Hyuga clan.
Just as Hyuga Neji stood in the courtyard, Hyuga Hiashi.
Slowly, they withdrew their gaze from the commotion.
He has already arranged for the Hyuga clan's secret guards to investigate the situation.
"Hisashi-sama."
At this moment, Hyuga Neji looked at Hyuga Hiashi, who was standing in front of him, and asked calmly, "Did you call me here for something?"
He truly didn't understand.
Why would Hiashi Hyuga, whom I've only met a few times, come looking for me?
"Whoosh!"
In response to Hyuga Neji's words, Hyuga Hiashi unleashed a surge of powerful chakra, gathering it in his hand before fiercely striking at Hyuga Neji.
"Bang!"
The air exploded.
Neji Hyuga instantly felt the intense pressure emanating from Hiashi Hyuga, and his pupils contracted sharply.
His chakra circulated rapidly within his body, and he subconsciously took a step back, using a light and agile gliding step to instantly unleash the Lingbo Weibu technique he had mastered.
Hyuga Neji's figure vanished from the spot like ripples on water, easily dodging Hyuga Hiashi's surprise attack.
A loud bang echoed in the air as Hiashi Hyuga's palm strike landed squarely on the spot where Neji had just stood, creating a powerful gust of wind that kicked up dust.
However, Neji had already stepped back a few paces, his face filled with shock, anger, and confusion.
He never imagined that the head of the Hyuga clan, his nominal elder, would suddenly attack him without warning.
"Lord Hiashi! What's wrong?"
Neji couldn't help but question him sharply, his voice filled with barely concealed anger and confusion.
However, Neji was shocked the next second.
He noticed that Hiashi Hyuga seemed completely unsurprised by his skillful evasion.
Hiashi did not continue his attack, but stood quietly in place, his expression calm, as if he had already expected Neji to be able to dodge easily.
Upon seeing this, Neji instinctively took a step back, his gaze fixed intently on Hiashi.
"really."
Hiashi Hyuga spoke slowly, looking calmly at Neji Hyuga, and said softly, "You've already been to the jar shop."
Hiashi Hyuga's tone was calm, but every word carried immense weight, as if a heavy stone was pressing on Neji's heart.
Neji instantly felt a chill spread down his spine, and a storm raged in his heart.
He never expected that Hiashi Hyuga not only knew about the existence of the jar shop, but could even recognize that he had been there before.
They even tested him!
It should be noted that even after he mastered the Lingbo Weibu technique, he never used it within his family.
He only used it when he fought Rock Lee.
Rock Lee would never betray them.
He hasn't come back these past few days.
How did Hiashi Hyuga know that?
Faced with Hyuga Neji's shock, Hyuga Hiashi stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm and unwavering.
"Snapped!"
The next second, Hiashi Hyuga swung his hand, and something was thrown at him.
Upon seeing the object being thrown at him, Hyuga Neji instinctively jumped back, not catching it.
"Clatter!"
The item fell to the ground, making a loud clinking sound like coins.
Hyuga Neji was astonished.
What is Hiashi Hyuga doing?
The next second, Hiashi Hyuga waved his hand again, and another money bag flew out.
This time, Hyuga Neji reached out and took it, feeling its heavy weight. Hyuga Neji was puzzled and looked confused.
"A person can only open ten jars a week. You definitely don't have the money to open any more jars. This is money your family owes you for opening jars."
Hiashi Hyuga stood with his hands behind his back, looked at Neji, and said softly, "If that's not enough, you can come to me directly."
Why?
Upon hearing Hiashi Hyuga's words, Neji Hyuga frowned deeply.
He didn't understand.
Since Hiashi Hyuga knew about the wonders of the jar shop, and even knew that he opened the jar, it was impossible that he didn't know that there was something in the jar that could unlock the caged bird.
When Hiashi Hyuga, a member of the branch family, opened the jar, he found out but surprisingly wasn't angry.
Instead, they gave him money and let him drive?
In some ways, he even hated the family.
"Because this is what your family owes you."
Hiashi Hyuga calmly said, "The other reason I called you here today is to tell you something else, about your father's last words."
"What!?"
Upon hearing Hiashi Hyuga's words, Neji Hyuga's pupils constricted sharply.
"Believe it or not, I have to say this now."
Hiashi Hyuga said slowly, "The truth is not what you think. I think you can understand it now, so I'll take this opportunity to tell you."
Under Neji Hyuga's pale gaze, Hiashi Hyuga slowly began to recount what had happened back then.
At this moment.
the other side.
In the Hokage's office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi has received the general information.
"A towering tree appeared amidst the deserted streets and buildings?"
"Or did it emerge in the form of chakra?"
Looking at the purple-haired ANBU ninja in front of him, Hiruzen Sarutobi took a drag of his cigarette and slowly said, "Are you sure nothing was detected?"
"Yes, according to our investigation, in addition to the bloodstains, there was a strong chakra fluctuation at the scene."
The purple-haired ANBU ninja respectfully replied, "Preliminary assessment indicates it's Wood Release; there are no other chakra present at the scene."
When he spoke the last three words, the ANBU ninja's voice was low and deep.
She truly hadn't expected that Wood Release would appear in Konoha Village.
"I see."
Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly closed his eyes: "Evacuate the rest of the people, destroy that tree on the spot, and handle this matter discreetly. With the Chunin Exams approaching, we must not attract the attention of other ninja villages."
"Yes."
Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, the purple-haired ANBU ninja nodded.
"Also, inform Danzo, the advisor, to come over and discuss matters."
Hiruzen Sarutobi gave the order once again, making the ANBU ninja nod to indicate that he understood, and then quickly left.
Danzo.
After the ANBU ninja left, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.
He immediately got up, walked to the window, and ordered, "Send two ANBU ninjas to the Hyuga clan's territory to check on their movements."
"yes!"
As soon as Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking, a response rang out.
Meanwhile, in the territory of the Hyuga clan at this very moment.
In the courtyard where Hyuga Hiashi lived.
After hearing Hiashi Hyuga's explanation, Neji Hyuga sneered, "Why should I believe you? This is just an excuse you're using to exonerate the main branch of the family. What else do you have to say?"
"It's because I mentioned that you would react this way that I haven't spoken up yet, and I haven't had the chance to say anything."
Hiashi Hyuga remained calm despite Neji's sarcastic remarks, as if he had anticipated Neji's reaction.
Looking at Neji's disdainful expression, Hiashi Hyuga sighed softly, his tone still gentle as he said, "I understand your anger, Neji. I have never ignored the resentment in your heart. That is why I have hesitated to tell you the truth."
Neji sneered, his gaze fixed on Hiashi like a knife, as if trying to see any trace of a lie on his face.
However, Hiashi did not avoid Neji's gaze and remained standing in place, continuing calmly, "But today, I am not speaking to you as the head of the Hyuga clan, but as Hizashi's older brother, to convey his last words."
"That was your father, Hyuga Hizashi, leaving you his last wish."
These words struck Neji like a thunderclap.
Hyuga Neji's body trembled slightly, his eyes widened suddenly, and a hint of shock and disbelief flashed in them.
"Father's last words?"
Neji repeated in a low voice, his tone filled with disbelief and skepticism.
His father remained a painful memory for him, the root of his deep resentment towards the main family.
And now, Japan is saying that his father left a will?
This instantly replaced Neji's anger and hatred with shock and complex emotions.
Neji's breathing quickened, and his emotions became increasingly complex.
But he still tried to control his emotions and said coldly, "What are you trying to say? You think you can make me believe you with just these words?"
At that moment, Hiashi Hyuga suddenly moved.
He gently pressed down with both hands and slowly bent his knees.
Hiashi actually knelt down in front of Neji.
His movements were slow and firm, and there was no hesitation or humiliation in his expression, as if this was a decision he had already made.
Neji's eyes widened instantly, his pupils filled with shock and disbelief.
He never imagined that Hiashi, the head of the Hyuga clan, would kneel before him!
"What are you doing?"
Neji was speechless for a moment, frozen in place, completely at a loss.
The head of the Hyuga clan, the leader of the main family, kneels before him, a member of the branch family.
This scene completely exceeded Neji's expectations, leaving him deeply shocked.
Hiashi Hyuga remained kneeling, his knees firmly planted on the ground, his expression calm, as if he felt no shame whatsoever.
His voice remained calm and gentle: "I kneel down as Hizashi's brother because this is your father's last wish."
He wants you to hear these words and hopes you can understand and accept them.
"I know the resentment in your heart. I won't force you to believe me now, but please at least listen to what I have to say."
Looking at Hyuga Hitsugaya kneeling down, Neji felt a huge surge of emotions.
Neji's breathing became rapid, and the emotional shock made it difficult for him to control his emotions for a moment.
The scene before him left him unable to sort out his thoughts, and Hiashi's actions deeply shocked him.
Looking at Hiashi's calm expression and listening to his deep voice, the image of his father kept flashing through his mind.
He had always been resentful of his father's death, believing that the main family was the culprit behind his father's sacrifice.
Now, Japan's move seems to be silently telling him that things are not as he thought.
Neji's fingers trembled slightly, his heart filled with complex emotions.
His gaze was fixed on Hiashi kneeling before him, his heart filled with a mixture of anger, hatred, and doubt.
He never imagined that Japan would express itself to him in this way.
They were even willing to set aside their dignity as the head of the clan and kneel before him.
"you"
Hyuga Neji opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
At this moment, his feelings were so complex that he couldn't put them into words.
Hiashi raised his head, his eyes sincere, and looked calmly at Neji, saying softly, "Neji, your father hopes you can live a life without hatred."
"He protected you with his life, and he hopes that you will inherit his will, instead of being blinded by hatred."
Hearing this, Neji felt as if he had been struck a heavy blow, his eyes flashing with pain and confusion.
"That's the truth. I should have been the one to die back then, but it was your father."
Hiashi Hyuga sighed softly, slowly stood up, and said, "I know you can't accept it in a short time, but what I said is absolutely true."
"Now that you've been to the jar shop and know how amazing it is, you should also know..."
"In the jar shop, there is something that can bring the dead back to life, something that can bring your father back to life."
Upon hearing this, Hyuga Neji's pupils constricted sharply.
He was well aware of the magic of the jar shop.
He knew about this as well.
"Currently, only you, me, Hanabi, and Hinata in the Hyuga clan know about that mysterious shop. I'm also trying my best to keep the news under wraps. The main family members don't know anything about it."
Hiashi Hyuga slowly said, "The shopkeeper is mysterious. Opening the jar can enhance our strength, and even I have benefited greatly."
"We can open forty jars a week, and if we find something related to resurrection, we have a much higher probability than others."
"When your father is resurrected, you can ask him for the truth."
"Besides that, I am also investigating the ninjutsu of resurrected people."
At this point, Hiashi Hyuga paused and said, "Because I believe that even something like resurrection might not be so easy to obtain from the shopkeeper's jar."
"But in the ninja world today, there are incomplete resurrection ninjutsu."
"Orochimaru, an S-rank rogue ninja from Konoha, possesses this kind of technique. I am unable to contact him and cannot obtain specific information about him."
"According to my investigation, that ninjutsu originated from a forbidden technique developed by the Second Hokage of Konoha Village, which my Hyuga clan could not possibly obtain."
"The Hokage could not possibly unleash the sealing scroll's ninjutsu on me, Hyuga Hiashi."
"But opening the can might reveal this kind of ninjutsu."
"I believe you haven't opened all ten jars. If you don't open all the jars you're supposed to open each week, it's a waste for both you and me—a waste of the chance to resurrect your father."
"So I will support you in opening the can, and I also really hope that Hizashi can be revived."
"And you don't need to worry about the so-called caged bird; it can be completely solved by opening the can."
"I can assure you this as the head of the Hyuga clan."
"If, Hinata, or Hanabi, we find something that can break this seal when we open the jar in the future, I will help you break it. As for the main family, I don't have the power to completely deny it."
"But I believe that day is not far off."
"Before that, we need to lie low. Do you understand, Neji?"
Upon hearing Hiashi Hyuga's words, Neji Hyuga fell silent.
What Hyuga Hiashi said today was very shocking, leaving him unsure how to respond for a moment.
"I know you need time to process this, but I feel that if this kind of thing isn't addressed sooner, it will only become more and more unfriendly to both sides."
Looking at the silent Hyuga Neji, Hyuga Hiashi slowly said, "In my eyes, you are a genius who surpasses the main family, and geniuses should not be buried."
"Take these next two days to recover. Once you've recovered, come back to me. I'll teach you a technique I found in the jar shop that will make you stronger."
"If you want to learn, if you want to become stronger."
At this point, Hiashi Hyuga paused, then continued, "If you need anything, you can come to my study to find me."
"Neji, the clan may have wronged you, but I haven't."
Upon hearing this, Hyuga Neji slowly closed his eyes.
It must be said that what Hiashi Hyuga said was indeed true.
From childhood to adulthood, Hiashi Hyuga had never wronged him, and he had never suffered any bullying or mistreatment.
The educational resources they enjoy are all from the Hyuga clan, and are even better than those of other branch family members.
"I will."
After a long silence, Hyuga Neji decisively turned around and left the courtyard.
Hiashi Hyuga sighed softly, watching Neji Hyuga until he was completely gone before slowly turning his gaze away.
After waiting for a while, the Hyuga clan's secret guards returned.
"Master, according to our investigation, it was Root ninjas who were attacked."
The Hyuga clan guards who appeared respectfully said, "Traces of Wood Release ninjutsu remain at the scene, and there is a strong aura of Wood Release chakra. The Hokage's Anbu are cleaning up the scene, so we can't get close, but we have investigated, so we can still make a general assessment."
