Hokage: I Neji will never go offline

Originally, Neji was planning to come to Itachi to discuss going to the Land of Thunder, but looking at Itachi who was fine on the surface, but secretly very ill, Neji immediately put the discussion aside.

Itachi heard the kindness in Neji's words, and a smile appeared on his face, but he immediately shook his head.

"About this matter, I have actually asked Bai a long time ago. Although Bai has mastered the technology of transplanting cells, Hashirama's cells are too overbearing. It is impossible for my current body to withstand such overbearing cells.

, I am afraid that forced transplantation will directly destroy my body, and... my disease has long been serious and difficult to recover from. Just transplanting a few cells is not enough, not to mention that I only need to be able to persist until Sasuke comes to me."

Itachi's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter. Although Neji knew that he could not change anything on this matter, he still couldn't help showing a disappointed look.

"Sometimes I really don't understand why you take a family reputation that has disappeared so seriously."

"There are some things you don't understand me, and there are also some things I don't understand you. I'm just doing what I think is right, and you do the same, right?"

Neji fell silent and did not answer, and Itachi continued to speak.

"Ningji, Bai said, you have anticipated the upcoming war and are already preparing troops in advance? I want to know what role you will play in the war, or which side of the war you will be on."

Although Ningji didn't know that Shiro had told Itachi about this before, he was not surprised by it.

"That guy Bai really didn't hide anything from you. I did have a premonition of the war, and I have roughly guessed who will be on both sides of the war, but I am not interested in the outcome of this war. I am only interested in the war.

I'm interested in the outcome, I'm not taking sides on either side, all I want is the outcome."

"Result? What do you mean?"

Itachi was a little surprised and confused by Neji's answer. Neji nodded and continued to speak.

"I will tell you when the results come out. Even if you are dead before then, I will tell you the results in another way."

Itachi shook his head and put the cup in his hand on the table aside.

"Ningji, I know that you have the means to resurrect the dead. Even if using that technique does not cost you a high price, I don't want you to resurrect me. The reason I have already told you."

Neji took a deep breath and nodded, feeling a little complicated inside.

"Are you really not going to lure Sasuke yourself? Do you really know what will happen to him after killing his brother because of hatred? He is no longer a child now. He has his own judgment.

, what if he doesn’t want to take the path you arranged? What do you want to do? What should you do?”

Itachi closed his eyes and thought for a moment. When he opened his eyes again, it was already a scarlet Sharingan.

"It's up to you, Sasuke. I've given Shiro the crow with Shisui eyes. The worst case scenario is to use that technique on him."

"bump!"

In anger, Neji slapped the table so hard that the teacup on the table shook.

"If you really do this, you, my brother, have failed too much! Who is willing to be a puppet all the time? Who can guarantee that the lie will not be exposed one day? When Sasuke returns to another place a hundred years later,

When a world sees you, how should you face him? He is the younger brother you exchanged for him. Is there anything else that you cannot let him know? "

Itachi closed his eyes again and thought, and after a long time he opened his eyes again and looked at Neji.

"So, how did you arrange it? Since you have already talked about it, I'm afraid you have already figured out how to do it, right?"

Itachi's eyes were very calm, but through this calmness, Neji could see a trace of anxiety deep in Itachi's eyes.

Neji nodded and took a deep breath to calm down his angry mood.

"I will tell him the truth. As for what he will do after learning the truth, it is up to him. I will not guide and interfere with him, but I will help him after he decides. No matter what decision he makes,

I will help him."

Neji's eyes flashed with determination, and Itachi nodded with a smile on his face.

"Can I understand that it's a promise you made? It's a reliable promise. If I had chosen to discuss it with him at the beginning, I'm afraid this wouldn't be the result. Sasuke will be counting on you from now on."

Itachi bowed his head slightly towards Neji with a serious expression. Neji curled his lips and turned his head to the side, waving his hands at the same time.

"Don't do this with me, making it sound like you're giving your last words. I came to you to tell you that I'm going to the Kingdom of Thunder. I originally wanted to ask you if you wanted to go, but it turned out...

When I came in, I saw you looking sick, so I had better go alone."

"Going to the Kingdom of Thunder? Why so suddenly? Is there anything important?"

Itachi looked at Neji with some surprise and confusion. Neji stood up and shrugged.

"It's not an important thing. I just want to try my luck. If you're lucky, you'll make money. If you're not lucky, you won't lose. In short, it's a sure-fire thing."

"Well, then you can go by yourself, I won't go. What's more, even if my health is fine, you probably won't be happy for me to go, right?"

Itachi's words made Neji unable to react for a moment, and he looked at Itachi in confusion.

"I'm not happy? Why? I'm quite happy. If I'm not happy, why would I come to you?"

Itachi suddenly shook his head and glanced at Neji with an almost hateful look.

"Even if you are willing, I'm afraid you won't be willing to do it every day, right? I really don't know what you are thinking. It is obviously a great opportunity, but you are specifically looking for a light bulb."

"Well……"

As soon as Itachi mentioned Tenten, Neji immediately remembered that there was an angry Tenten in his room, and his scalp went numb when he thought that he might be complained by Tenten when he went back.

"Hey~~Itachi, speaking of which, you have been here too. What should I do if my girlfriend is angry?"

"Take her to eat delicious food."

Itachi blurted out almost without thinking, but Neji's expression became even more unnatural.

"Well, what if you are already full?"

Itachi's expression immediately became strange, and he looked straight at Neji, which made Neci feel weak. After a while, Itachi shook his head helplessly.

"If you're like this, I can't help you. Just be happy for yourself. It's getting late. I need to rest. Neji, please go out."
