farewell , konoha

Chapter 167 Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Rope Tree!

At this moment, Hizu looked at the rope tree in front of him. It was precisely because he understood the dirty things in Konoha that he chose to talk to the other party instead of choosing anything else.

Rizu said in a deep voice: "Naoshu, why are you doing this? I don't understand?"

Whether it was the other party kidnapping Hinata or his appearance now, he couldn't understand it.

And because of what the other party said, he decided to see what these elders meant.

He still remembered that when he saw each other today, Naoki said to him: "Do you want to change the current Hyuga clan?"

Rizu is very rational and understands that with his current situation, it is absolutely impossible to change this decadent system by relying solely on himself.

Therefore, he chose to believe in Tsunade and believe that the other party was the tree, because he also understood the final result of that night.

Most of the losses were ninjas from the Sarutobi clan, and their number was outrageous.

Most of the other ninjas were not seriously injured, and their lives were not in danger. On the contrary, many people were injured in dealing with the Jinchuuriki.

And the direction where the jinchūriki appears... is at the root!

The roots that Danzo mastered appeared underground. This is a truth that the Hyuga clan can only understand with their Byakugan.

Faced with Hizu's question, Naoki smiled softly, his eyes changed from black pupils to Sharingan, and the red marks on his forehead split and white eyes appeared.

After showing all this, Shengshu slowly said: "This is why!"

"It has been sleeping underground in Konoha for decades. Ever since the explosion, my time has been frozen at that moment."

"And these are Danzo's masterpieces. As the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen may not really know about it, but the rights he gave Danzo and his unrestricted connivance allowed him to do these things."

Rizu was slightly silent. He couldn't imagine what choice he would make if he fell into such a situation.

However, the other party's current actions and strength are enough for him to do this.

Hizu continued: "So, what are your plans? Now Danzo wants to compete for the position of Hokage, won't you stop this?"

"Danzo?"

Naoshu smiled softly.

"His current situation is what I planned. Whether he becomes Hokage or not, it doesn't matter to me anymore."

"However, I really want to see what choices he will make after he fails again and cannot get the position of Hokage. It may be interesting."

Rizu sighed: "What a joke. To be honest, the rope tree you and I remember are already two people."

"However, if I had experienced something like this, I might not be able to maintain my original intention."

"So back to the topic, how is Hinata's situation now?"

Rizu looked up at the rope tree in front of him and stared into the other person's eyes. He was not afraid of the other person's Sharingan.

Naoki just whispered: "Hinata? Now you have cooperated with me to take a test. Now you should study under the guidance of your sister."

Rizu nodded lightly and said solemnly: "On this point, I believe you for the time being."

"And what you said, if you were to take away Neji, what would you do to him?"

Hizu understands that if Neji releases the caged bird, even if he comes back again, he will still not be able to escape the fate of being branded again on his forehead.

So, maybe let Neji go to the rope tree to live out his own life, right?

Shengshu asked: "What to do to him?"

He shook his head directly and chuckled: "I won't do anything to him. On the contrary, I will make him stronger and become powerful enough."

"After all, I still lack people who need to help me, and Neji has the potential to grow."

Rizu nodded slightly, and then pondered slightly. He was quite satisfied with the result.

Regarding this point, he seemed to have a selfish intention, so he said solemnly: "If possible, I hope you can act in a play with me."

"When the time comes, when the Hyuga clan wants to steal Hinata in a sneak attack, I hope you defeat them and take Hinata and Neji away together."

Naoshu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Rizu would be so courageous and make such a choice. Now it was his turn to wonder: "Why are you doing this?"

Hinata showed a trace of calm at this moment, looked up, his eyes were very far away, and just explained: "As the elders said, Hinata's character is not suitable for becoming the leader of the Hyuga clan."

"As for this matter, I do not deny that ability means ability. It is a pain for people without ability to take inappropriate positions, both for Hinata herself and the Hyuga clan."

"So, when the time comes, Hinata and Neji will leave it to you, Nezuki!"

Shengshu was silent and said in a deep voice: "Do you believe me?"

Hizu shook his head: "I don't believe it, but I believe Tsunade-sama."

"As I said before, if you are recognized by Tsunade-sama, then you are a rope tree."

"This is my choice, and I also believe in my own judgment and my perspective on people."

Shen Shu smiled: "You are really quite conceited?"

"You are as meticulous as ever, without any fun, and bound by the burden of responsibility."

Rizu showed a smile at this moment: "I don't mind this kind of life, because I have not let them down, but Hizashi..."

When mentioning Hizashi, a hint of guilt flashed through Hizashi's eyes, and he continued: "Then let me make up for his regrets, untie Neji's caged bird, and let him fly freely in the sky."

"Since you gave me this opportunity, how could I give up, so I should thank you, Rope Tree!"

Shengshu smiled slightly, his body gradually melted, and just said: "Then prepare, use this to contact me when the time comes!"

As the rope tree's body turned into a pool of chakra, it gradually condensed into a red token on the ground.

Rizu looked at the token on the ground and picked it up. Its hard and thick feel was as indistinguishable as a physical object.

Behind the token, instructions for use appeared, meaning that if you input his chakra, it will be bound.

At that time, you can choose to contact the other party by text or call.

Rizu was not too surprised by this method of contact, but put the token in his arms.

In fact, when he opened the door and headed to another place, the direction was exactly Neji's residence.

…

On top of the Hokage Rock, two figures looked down, the tall figure among them being the Rope Tree.

The rope tree slowly opened its eyes and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar Konoha below. One day it would completely change.

And Quan also looked down for a long time. That was the place where she once lived, but now it began to feel a little strange to her.

Today's Konoha is no longer the Konoha she remembers, and there is no place for her anymore.
