Hokage: I Neji will never go offline

"What, shouldn't it be said that when you see someone so cute, you can't help but want to hug her?"

Tenten pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, while Neji smiled and shook his head helplessly.

"Okay, okay, our family is so cute every day, I can't help but want to hold you in my arms."

"Okay! Then I allow you to carry me to my destination! Thank me for my gift to you!"

Tenten raised his head very proudly, and the corner of Neji's mouth twitched. He immediately realized that he seemed to have been tricked, but he didn't say anything, just shook his head with a wry smile.

Two days later, Neji finally returned to Itachi's stronghold. Although Tenten said that he wanted Neci to carry him to the destination, and Neji tacitly agreed, but at night Tenten had to come down by himself, and almost all the way

He came here by himself every day.

Itachi seemed to have expected that Neji would be here at this time, and stood outside the entrance of the stronghold early, waiting for Neji.

"Ningji, Bai said that Sasuke has left Orochimaru. Come with me. I have something to explain to you."

"I knew you still had something to say to me, so I rushed back in such a hurry, but what else do you have to do? Even if you want to tell me your last words, you don't need to avoid Tiantian, right? She's not an outsider."

Neji didn't understand Itachi. Just when Itachi wanted to speak, Tenten spoke first.

"Neji, I'm a little tired. I'm going back to my room to rest. Besides, I think I'm going to change my living quarters later, right? I'm going to clean up first."

"Oh God...ah, I'll leave it to you then."

Although Neji didn't expect that Tenten would choose to leave voluntarily, he didn't say anything. After Tenten entered the stronghold and walked away, Itachi took two steps outside, looked up at the sky, and took a deep breath.

"Ningji, Sasuke will leave it to you. I have sealed the truth from my perspective into Shiro's eyes. If you insist on telling Sasuke the truth, let him see that. And... tell him, this

This is the last time, I hope he forgives me."

Neji nodded, a trace of sadness flashed deep in his eyes, but before Neji could speak, Itachi continued.

"Speaking of which, most of the reason why you joined Akatsuki was because of me, right? I had a great time with you by my side. Thank you very much, Neji."

"Don't say that, I am very happy to have you here. We have been playmates since childhood. No one is accompanying the other, we are all accompanying each other."

"Ningji, before this, there is one thing I have never told you. When I agreed to join Akatsuki, I made an agreement with Madara. As long as I am still in Akatsuki, I cannot attack Konoha. Once I die, this agreement will

Naturally, it's invalid. If Sasuke decides to return to Konoha, please help protect Konoha. I know you don't have much feelings for Konoha, but...this is my last request."

Itachi bowed his head towards Neji sincerely, and Neji took a deep breath and chuckled.

"Itachi, have you forgotten the promise I made to you? No matter what decision Sasuke makes, I will help him. If he chooses to return to Konoha, then I will naturally tilt my position towards Konoha, but the same

Yes, if his final choice is exactly the opposite, I will also help him, Itachi, and I have to make this clear to you in advance!"

Neji stared at Itachi with burning eyes, and Itachi nodded with a smile on his face.

"Tell him that no matter what decision he makes in the end, I still love him."

"Don't worry, I've learned how controlling your brother can be when I was a kid."

Neji suddenly said such a half-joking remark, which immediately enlivened the atmosphere and put a big smile on Itachi's face.

"Speaking of which, I remember that the day we met, I promised to teach Sasuke how to throw shuriken, but you delayed me. After I got back, I could only say next time. Sasuke was very angry about this."

"I'm afraid you just remember Sasuke so clearly. In my opinion, you are not a good son, a good clansman, and not a good lover, but you are a good brother. Sometimes I really

I envy Sasuke to have such a good brother like you, but it's a pity that this world will never treat gentle people gently."

Neji's words made the atmosphere that had just become lively become depressed again, but despite this, the smile on Itachi's face did not diminish.

"I really didn't expect that a stigmatized person like me could get such a high evaluation from you. The world is fair. No matter whether a person is gentle or not, the world will treat them equally. It depends on whether he is gentle or not.

For another person, you and I are not treated with gentleness, but there are people who are treated with gentleness. Aren't Shiro and Ranmaru both gentle people? They are being treated with gentleness by you, Neji."

Neji clenched his fist suddenly and immediately unclenched it, laughing at himself and shaking his head.

"Don't say that, I have never thought that I am a gentle person. Needless to say, Ranmaru, that guy is following his beautiful teacher now, and he has probably forgotten me a long time ago. As for Bai, I have always been

I just treat him as my subordinate, and there is no special treatment. Isn’t that the treatment that a subordinate should enjoy?"

"If the leaders in this world could treat their subordinates like you, I'm afraid there wouldn't be so many tragedies. Ningji, the time is almost up. Finally, let me remind you, be careful Madara, that guy is scary."

Neji didn't expect that Itachi's last words were to remind him. He was stunned for a moment and then nodded heavily.

"Yeah! I understand, then... farewell, Itachi."

Itachi nodded and closed his eyes. Neji suddenly turned around and looked into the stronghold. He saw Tenten hiding behind the stone pillar at the entrance of the stronghold with half of his head sticking out to look at Neji and Itachi. Neji turned around and looked directly at Tenten.

together.

Tiantian subconsciously scratched his head, scratched the back of his head with a smile, and walked out from behind the stone pillar.

"Hehe~~I, I came out after I packed up, I just came out! I didn't hear anything!"

Neji rolled his eyes speechlessly and waved to Tenten to come over.

"Okay, don't explain. I don't know about your little thoughts? Now that you've finished cleaning up and said goodbye to Weasel, we should leave."

"Oh, then, Itachi, we are leaving, you... take care of yourself."

Although Tenten went to the room to tidy up before, but thanks to the fact that Tianten pays special attention to tidying up, this time Tenten almost just went to the room to pick up the things that had been prepared long ago, so Neji and Itachi's

The conversation was listened to every day.
