Hokage: I Neji will never go offline

Chapter 10 Birds and Beasts in the Cage

Being questioned like this, Neci felt guilty all of a sudden. Before leaving, Neci went out of his way to find someone to see Tiantian. At that time, he was talking about leaving for a few days. Originally, Neci's plan was to only call back and forth, and the most he could think about was

One month.

However, Neji completely overestimated the speed of the caravan, and the subsequent training was even more unplanned. Neji had even forgotten about it. Now that he was told this every day, he remembered that it happened.

"Tiantian, listen to me, I was supposed to be back in a few days, but something unexpected happened, so I wasted a little time. It was really just a little accident, haven't I already come back?

You think so? Can we discuss it? Can you let me get up first?"

Tenten's face turned red and he got off Neji. Neji breathed a sigh of relief and sat up.

"Huh~~Tiantian, are you too cruel this time?"

"snort!"

Tenten clasped his hands on his chest, turned his head to the side, and ignored Neci at all. The corner of Neci's mouth twitched, feeling a little at a loss.

"That's right! Tiantian, how did you know that I was back? I just entered the house with my front foot, and you came with my back foot. Isn't this amazing?"

Tenten glanced at Neji and held his head up very proudly.

"Of course, those ninja uncles guarding the door are frequent visitors to my house. When they come to my house to buy things, I give them 30% off. I asked them to pay special attention to you, and they will tell me as soon as you come back."

"This...it's nice to have money."

"Humph! Shaocha changed the subject. Didn't you say you would be back in a few days? Where have you been during this time?"

Tenten stared at Neji with burning eyes. Neji stood up and selectively ignored him.

"Oh! The weather is so nice today. Tiantian, let's go eat dumplings."

"you!"

"If you don't go, I'll go alone."

While he was talking, Neci had already stepped out of the door. He looked back at Tiantian with a hint of teasing, and Tiantian followed immediately, holding Neci's hand very naturally.

"Who said we can't go! Let's go!"

"Haha, then, do you want to call Naruto?"

"No, bastard!"

Tenten angrily kicked Neji on the leg. Neji chuckled lightly and left the house with Tenten.

After eating the dumplings, Neji sent Tianten home. When they left, Tiantian specifically said that he would come to see Neji tomorrow and asked Neji not to run around tomorrow. Neji just shrugged and did not express his position.

As soon as he left Tenten's house, Neji turned around and walked in the direction of Naruto's house.

"Knock knock knock!"

Arriving at the door of Naruto's house, Neji knocked on the door. Not long after, the door was opened and Naruto walked out of the house, rubbing his eyes.

"Who is it? What do you want from me?"

"Hey! Naruto, I'm back."

Neji smiled and said hello to Naruto. Naruto blinked at Neji and rubbed his eyes again to make sure that he had seen correctly, and his face became surprised.

"Brother Neji! You're back!"

"Hehe, yes, let's go, Naruto, I'll treat you to ramen."

"Haha! Great!"

At Ichiraku Ramen House, Neci ordered the most luxurious ramen for Naruto. Neji, who had already eaten dango with Tiantian, only ordered the smallest ramen.

"Hey~~Brother Neci, where have you been for more than a year? You don't even know, I worry about you every day."

Naruto's words made Neji feel a soreness in his nose, and he couldn't help but rub it with his hands.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to go out and have a look after being locked in a cage for a long time."

"Cage? What kind of cage is it, Brother Neji?"

Neji put down his chopsticks, looked around and saw no one, shook his head gently, and took a long breath.

"You are a beast locked in an iron cage, and I am a bird locked in a birdcage. Even if a beast is locked in an iron cage, it is still a threat. Even if it does something outrageous, it will not matter.

Problem, but the bird is not a threat, and if it does anything inconsistent with its identity, it will be dealt with immediately."

Naruto was chewing ramen and looking at Neji with confusion and confusion on his face.

"Brother Neji, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand you at all?"

Neji shook his head, chuckled, and patted Naruto's head with his hand.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand now. One day you will understand what I am saying. However, Naruto, if it is possible, I will not come back again if I leave Konoha next time. By then we will be very

You might become an enemy."

"Next time you leave? Will you become an enemy? Why? Why is Brother Neji leaving?"

Neji took a deep breath, shook his head again, put his mouth to Naruto's ear and lowered his voice.

"Naruto, I hope you can promise me not to tell anyone what I said to you today. After I leave, you can tell Tiantian what I just said, okay?"

Naruto's chewing speed in his mouth slowed down. He still didn't understand what Neji said, but he still nodded.

"I understand, but don't worry, Brother Neji, I will not become your enemy! Definitely not!"

"Haha~~Yes, it will definitely not happen, I believe it too."

After eating ramen, Neji and Naruto walked around the village for a while and then went home.

Lying on the bed, Neji took out the scroll he had gotten from the bandit. After staring at it for a long time, he shook his head and put it away again.

"Tsk! After being punched in the nose, I actually forgot about it. Sure enough, it was because the punch was so painful."

Originally, Neji was going to show this scroll to Tiantian. Tiantian, who is crazy about using scrolls, would definitely have an easier time understanding what is sealed in it than Neji. Even if Tiantian is still young and has no ability to crack it, Tiantian can still get it.

Go back and show it to his parents.

But as soon as Neji got home, he was punched in the nose by Tenten. Neji immediately forgot about it and only remembered it after he lay down.

"Knock knock knock!"

There was another knock on the door, and Neji got out of bed impatiently.

"Who is it? Can't you just let me have some peace and quiet when I get back? Is there something urgent that you can't let me take a day off from?"

Neji complained as he opened the door, and Hinata Tomima appeared at the door. As soon as he saw Neji, he smiled and greeted Neji.

"Ningji, are you back? It's been such a long time."

Faced with Hinata Tomima's enthusiasm, Neji gave him a very shameless look and stretched out his hand without saying a word.

"It turns out to be Uncle Tomima, bring it here."

Hinata Tomima's smile froze for a moment, and she looked at Neji blankly.

"Take, what to take?"

"What? Uncle Tomima, you came here on your own, and now you're still pretending to be stupid? Of course it's the living expenses, five thousand taels a month. I've been away from Konoha for more than a year, shouldn't I be given the living expenses during this time?

Me? I’m not that stingy, so just give it to me as a whole year, and I don’t want any fraction. Just give me 60,000 taels.”
