Chapter 189 Hizu and Neji

The scene of his father rolling in pain under the caged bird was also the deepest shadow in his heart.

From that day on, he realized that he belonged to the branch family, and Hinata belonged to the clan family. Everything about his life was in the hands of the clan family, and he could never get rid of it.

Even though his father is the clan leader's biological brother, there is already a thick diaphragm between them.

The sister he once loved and needed to protect eventually became a eldest lady in his eyes, not a younger sister.

But now, in order to save Hinata, the other party actually unlocked his caged bird and used it in exchange for the other party.

Neji really wanted to laugh, but he found that tears were constantly flowing out of the corners of his eyes, and he felt so painful inside.

It hurts, it hurts so much!

This is the Hyuga clan, this is the fate of the divided family, unable to break away, unable to escape, just a delicate bird raised in a cage, born with wings but unable to fly freely.

Scratching his chest, Neji looked at himself crying silently in the mirror and couldn't help but feel ridiculous.

As a man, I can't help it, but fortunately, I am the only one here.

A man's crying cannot be left to others. He can only taste the bitterness silently and bear it alone.

Wiping away the tears of disappointment, Neji raised his head again, with only determination in his eyes.

Now that I have escaped that prison, I should work hard instead of lamenting here.

You are not dead yet, you just want to be exchanged to the other party. Since the other party takes a fancy to your talent, then work harder!

Neji recalled what the other person said that night, whether the other person wanted his eyes or his person and his talent.

Everything comes from being able to be strong. If you are not strong and useless, then no one will have any need for you, and you will be abandoned.

Strength, this is the foundation!

Neji understood this very early, so he worked very hard to improve his strength.

He put on his pure white training clothes and walked towards the courtyard. The wooden piles there were already full of scars, the result of his beating every day.

Despite the ups and downs, I don’t know how many times it has changed here, but it will continue to do so.

Clenching his bandaged fist, Neji understood that his efforts were still not enough and he could not compete with Xiao Li.

Whoosh!

The fists were waved out, and the air made a friction sound. Neji waved his fists and sweat, constantly training himself.

After finishing a set of soft punches, I gasped slightly, my body became familiar with it, and I felt the chakra surging in my body.

Neji closed his eyes, the chakra in his body was gathering and moving towards his eyes.

"White eyes, open!"

Opening his eyes suddenly, the nearby meridians suddenly surged, and the sudden ferocity was the characteristic of the Hyuga clan's Byakugan.

A 360-degree field of vision with no blind spots appeared in Neji's eyes. The Byakugan, which was once defective because of the caged bird, was now completely liberated.

Feeling the vision of chakra around him, Neji took another pose. This time it was different from the warm-up soft fist, this time he used chakra, a real soft fist move.

Whoosh!

There was a whistling sound, and the fists were waved quickly and powerfully. Each move was hard yet soft, and the wind of the fist roared, sweeping away the fallen leaves in the courtyard.

The fallen leaves he brought up hovered beside him. Neji slowly closed his eyes, no longer using his eyes, but tried to immerse himself in his own world.

In the dark world, Taichi hovered in Ningci's heart, gradually spreading out of his body. He punched out what he was thinking, venting it out, making his heart gradually become ethereal.

As a set of punches was completed again, Neji slowly opened his eyes and felt the peace in his heart.

Bang bang bang!

Applause rang from one side, and at the entrance of the courtyard, Rizu arrived after the clan meeting.

Looking at the Tai Chi pattern formed by Neji's practice in the courtyard, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He didn't expect that Neji had such a high talent. If the rope tree hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have discovered it.

Originally, because of Hizashi's death, he actually cared about Neci a lot, but because of Neci's respect and estrangement.

In the end, he gave up paying regular attention to him, and just silently learned about Neji's news without disturbing him anymore.

And I won't think of Hizashi every time I see Neji, and let the guilt in my heart beat me repeatedly.

Only then did we understand that Neji's true talent had reached this level, rather than the indescribable excellence on paper.

At this moment, Hizu felt the correctness of his decision, and looked at Ningji seriously, and said: "Take a rest, let's talk."

Neji also wanted to ask Hiashi how long he had been standing there. When he heard this sentence, he swallowed it back and said instead: "Yeah!"

After simply tidying up, Ningci brought tea, placed it in front of the two of them, and finally took their seats.

Rizu looked around, a flash of memories flashed in his eyes, looking at the rather tidy room, he was just slightly silent.

Looking at the tea leaves floating in the tea, he finally said slowly: "You must hate me!"

Neci paused in his heart and said in a deep voice: "I don't dare!"

This made Rizu feel bitter inside, and he murmured: "Don't you dare?"

Neji continued to remain silent. Since he was still useful to him, he would not do anything.

Rizu sighed slightly and said, "About this matter, I did it on purpose. I just used this as an excuse to release your caged bird."

Neci was slightly startled, his eyes revealing surprise and confusion. This seemed to be different from what he had imagined.

Hizu ignored Neji's reaction and continued: "And the replacement will not succeed."

Ningci was stunned and couldn't help but said: "It won't succeed? You mean..."

If the other party won't succeed, will Hinata be successfully rescued here?

And Hizu said slowly: "We won't succeed, and then you and Hinata will be taken away by each other."

Neji: "???"

It turned out to be this kind of failure, but why? Why do you want to send him to the other party like this?

Wait, excuses, caged bird contact…

Neji looked up at the patriarch in front of him, the man who should have been called uncle. At this moment, the impression he had imagined was completely subverted.

Rizu saw his incomprehension and said calmly: "You don't understand, right? But that's right. After all, in your eyes, I am the one who should be hated."

"I killed your father, and you still acted as if nothing had happened. You should have been able to save him, or at least try not to sacrifice yourself."

Ningji was silent. The other party's words touched his heart. At this moment, he didn't know what to say.

And Rizu said: "This is the letter left by your father. After reading it, you should understand a little bit."

"I came to see you today just to take advantage of this opportunity to make it clear to you, and to leave you your father's letter."
