Hokage: I Neji will never go offline

"Hehehehe~~ There's no need to be so polite. After all, we are colleagues now."

"Colleagues?"

Kimimaro looked at Neji very surprised, but Neji did not explain, and left with Shiro. Shiro seemed very happy along the way. He took a few steps and glanced at Neji, as if to confirm that he was standing next to him.

Is he really the same as Neji?

"Shiro, what have you learned from Orochimaru in the past three years?"

"When Lord Neji handed me over to Lord Orochimaru, he said that I was not of use yet. At that time, I was thinking about how to make Lord Neji feel useful. Lord Neji was already so powerful three years ago.

Well, if I just became stronger, I would be of very limited help to Lord Neji, so I developed some more practical ninjutsu, and also learned some medical skills."

Neji nodded, and there wasn't much surprise at all. Neji had asked Orochimaru to teach Shiro some medical skills, but he was a little curious about the "practical ninjutsu" Shiro mentioned.

When he returned to his residence, from a distance, Neji saw Itachi sitting at the door of the house, looking at a map. As soon as Neji and Shiro came, Itachi looked up at Neji.

"Neji, is he the one you put with Orochimaru? Is he your lover? He seems to be older than you."

"spouse?"

Shiro's face instantly turned red, and he looked at Neji anxiously. Neji twitched the corner of his mouth, wishing he could just hit Itachi with the tailed beast jade.

"What's your look like? He's a man! I love your size!"

"A man? It doesn't look like that."

Itachi looked at Shiro with strange eyes, and finally shook his head. The corners of Neji's eyes twitched, but he really couldn't refute.

Originally, Shiro's face looked a bit like a girl. In addition, Shiro also had long hair and the clothes he wore were relatively unisex. Let alone Itachi, if Neji hadn't already known that Shiro was a boy.

, Neji felt that he would definitely mistake Shiro for a woman.

"Stop fixing those useless things! I just saw you sitting there and looking at something very seriously. What are you looking at?"

"Oh, Kakudu gave this to me. You should take a look at it too."

With that said, Itachi handed the map in his hand to Neji. Neji took it and took a look and found that it was an ordinary map, but there were two red cross marks on the map, one was in the Kingdom of Waves and the other was in the Kingdom of Water.

of sea.

"Isn't this just a map? But what do these two red crosses mean?"

"These two red crosses were originally where Kakuzu planned to go. There was a local bully in the Land of Waves who was offered a very high bounty, and he was also very rich. There was a very big turtle in the sea of ​​the Land of Water.

, it is said that it has something to do with the Three-Tails. Kakuzu lost two hearts fighting you before, so he threw this matter over."

Ningci scratched his head and looked at the map with some embarrassment. It didn't matter if he went to these two places, but the route was very awkward. If he wanted to go from the Kingdom of Sichuan to the Kingdom of Waves, the fastest route was to cross the Kingdom of Fire.

Otherwise, you have to go south by water, or go north and make a big circle.

Neji and Itachi had just left the Country of Fire, and now they had to cross the Country of Fire. Other than that, Neji was afraid that the news that he and Itachi were working together would be spread back to Konoha, plus he was wearing Akatsuki's clothes.

, the village will most likely treat him as a traitor.

Neji is not like Itachi, who just runs away. There is a caged bird on Neji's head. Once he is treated as a rebellious nin, Neji is likely to be directly damaged by the caged bird's brain nerves.

Shiro on the side looked at the map in Neci's hand, then looked at Neci's distressed look, and suddenly spoke.

"Ningji-sama, if you go by water, I have a technique that is easier to use. It should be much faster than walking."

Neji looked at Shiro in surprise. Shiro nodded very firmly. Neji also nodded and put the map away.

"In that case, let's take the water route, Bai. It will be up to you then."

"yes!"

Neji used the scroll to put away the entire stone house, and headed south with Itachi and Shiro. After traveling for a whole day and night, they finally reached the seaside.

At this time, Neji and his party were on a cliff by the sea. There was a drop of more than ten meters between the cliff and the sea. There were also many boulders that were higher than the sea near the shore, and large waves were constantly crashing.

Standing against the rock wall, it just looks like a very dangerous place.

Without saying a word, Bai started to form seals. The speed of forming seals was very fast. In the blink of an eye, he formed more than a dozen seals. Finally, he slapped his right hand on the ground.

"Ice Shield·Ice Crystal Serpent!"

The sea surface below was immediately partially frozen, and then a huge ice snake with a diameter of more than four meters, a snake head of more than five meters, and a length of more than 20 meters emerged from the frozen place.

The ice snake's body was on the sea, but its raised head had already arrived in front of Neji on the cliff.

Itachi's eyes widened, and Neji opened his mouth wide, staring blankly at the giant snake in front of him.

"No, Shiro, what exactly did you learn from Orochimaru?"

"Lord Neji, this technique was inspired by the time I saw Lord Orochimaru channeling a very large snake. Although this technique is not as flexible as Lord Orochimaru's channeling technique, it is much docile. Can you follow me?

I’ll find out when I get here.”

As he spoke, the ice snake opened its big mouth. Shiro walked into the ice snake's mouth first, followed by Neji and Itachi.

At this time, Neji discovered that the snake's head was actually hollow. After entering from the mouth, there was a very large space inside.

The ice snake closed its mouth, made a splash, got into the water, twisted its body in the water, moved forward quickly, and entered the deep sea area in the blink of an eye.

Shiro made a chair out of ice again. Neji still couldn't recover until he sat on the cold chair, while Itachi couldn't help but sigh.

"Is it really a convenient technique, Ice Shield Blood Succession Boundary? It seems like the Blood Succession Boundary of the Kingdom of Water."

"Yes! I was originally from the Kingdom of Water. It was Neji-sama who saved me and gave me hope."

Itachi closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then opened his eyes again and looked at Neji.

"That is to say, Neji, you went to the Land of Water three years ago? Not only did you save Shiro, but you also fought Orochimaru. You were only four years old at that time, right?"

Neji nodded, his mind filled with doubts about Shiro, and he had no intention of talking to Itachi.

"Ah, what's so strange about this? Didn't you go to war when you were four years old? Compared to this, I'm more curious now about what Bai has learned from Orochimaru in the past few years. This snake has already surpassed

That’s what I expected.”

Neji's words sounded to Shiro's ears as if he wanted to acknowledge himself, and a smile immediately appeared on Shiro's face.

"In addition to some practical jutsu and medical ninjutsu, I also learned some combat skills and some common sense knowledge."
