Hokage: I Neji will never go offline

"Orochimaru? You, why are you like this? Are you going back to your mother's womb next time we meet?"

"Hahahaha! Neji-kun's words are really harsh. He said that the longer I live, the more I go back. Haven't you guys not changed at all in the past ten years? It seems that the world you went to has technology beyond imagination.

, can make people stop aging. If this is the case, I really hope you can take me with you next time you go there."

Orochimaru glanced at everyone with his snake eyes, a vague look on his face. Neji was a little unable to react when he heard this. He was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, and he looked at Orochimaru as if he had seen a ghost.

"More than ten years? Orochimaru, are you kidding? You said we have been gone for more than ten years?"

"Huh? That's right. It's been more than ten years since the Great Ninja War. Is that world really so beautiful? It makes you forget the time. This is not like your style, Neji-kun."

Ningci's feet went weak, he staggered a few steps, and almost fell down. Fortunately, Tiantian's quick eyesight and hands helped him catch Ningci.

"Neji, are you okay?"

"No, I'm fine. Time and Space Practitioner, tsk! He really is a Time and Space Practitioner. He actually came to more than ten years later in the blink of an eye. What does that card want to do?"

Neji's face turned ugly again, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out what was going on with that card.

Although Orochimaru didn't figure out what was going on, seeing Neji's performance and the fact that no one had changed at all, he had some guesses in his mind, and quickly turned sideways and made a "please" gesture.

"It seems that something happened that I don't know about. If you don't mind, go in first. The outside is under the surveillance of Konoha, and conversations here can be easily eavesdropped."

Tenten and Shiro looked at each other and helped Neji into Orochimaru's base.

Neji once entered Orochimaru's base. At that time, Orochimaru's base gave Neji the feeling of being cold and dark, but Orochimaru's base was different.

The internal temperature is very comfortable. The corridors are full of incandescent lights. There are some very thick metal doors on both sides. Some places are made of glass. You can see at a glance that there are many sophisticated instruments inside, which are similar to the former Orochimaru base.

It is simply not a concept of the same era.

Before entering Orochimaru's base, Neji still had one last fantasy in his heart, hoping that this was just a joke of Orochimaru's, but after seeing this with his own eyes, Neji realized that everything was true and Orochimaru was not lying.

, these precision instruments that have never been seen before are the evidence.

"It seems that time has really crossed. That card is really dangerous..."

Neci murmured to himself, Orochimaru led the way. Hearing Neci's murmur, he glanced at Neci out of the corner of his eye and said nothing.

Soon, Ningji and his party were taken to a room by Orochimaru. The room was very bright and technological. The door was a heavy metal door, and the ground was also made of metal. The interior was all illuminated, giving people a sense of

Very sci-fi feeling.

Neji sat down on a metal chair. Orochimaru handed Neji a glass of water and looked at Neji with a chuckle.

"In other words, you were disturbed by some external force while traveling through the world, and suddenly jumped to more than ten years later? You became more than ten years younger for no reason?"

Neji did not give Orochimaru any explanation, but Orochimaru had already guessed everything. Neji nodded, spread his hands, and the card of the Time and Space Practitioner appeared in his hand.

"If I have to say it, it cannot be regarded as interference from external forces. After all, this power comes from myself. When we were traveling through time, this card suddenly activated automatically. When we woke up, we were already here."

"Oh? Practitioner of time and space? I never thought that Neji-kun actually has such a thing, not only has the power to cross space, but also the power to cross time? It's really enviable, but since it is automatically activated, then

It means you still can’t control time, right?”

Orochimaru's words were very sharp, and they hit Neji's vitals in an instant.

Neji scattered the cards, took a deep breath, and nodded with a wry smile.

"There are many powers in the world, and everything is vast. Time is long and space is supreme. Mastering space is enough to do many things. Trying to master time is simply a fantasy."

Neci rarely said something discouraging, and Orochimaru narrowed his eyes with a smile on his face.

"If you can control time, it is equivalent to being able to live forever. It is really an irresistible temptation. Neji-kun, I wonder if you can lend me that card to study? You should also want to know what happened.

What's the problem? If you leave it to me to study, maybe I'll come up with something."

Orochimaru's eyes became very serious. It was obvious that Orochimaru was not just talking. Neci raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Orochimaru, lost in thought.

Just as Orochimaru said, Neji really wanted to know what was wrong with this card, and he also wanted to know what the essence of the card was. If he could figure out what the origin of the card was, it would be possible to figure out everything.

Based on this alone, Neji couldn't refuse.

"Okay! Orochimaru, I think your proposal is very good. I am willing to provide cards for you to research, but you have to share all the research results with me. In addition, you have to owe me a favor."

"Hehehehe! Neji-kun is really happy. The card is yours, and it doesn't matter if I give you the research results. I just want to know the secret of time. As for favors? Haha! My favors should be worthless to you, right?

So, happy cooperation!”

After all, they were two parties who had already cooperated before. Neji and Orochimaru immediately reached a cooperation agreement.

Dots of starlight gathered in front of Orochimaru, and soon a card of a space-time practitioner appeared, floating in front of Orochimaru. Orochimaru held the card in his hand, grinning happily.

"Happy cooperation! So, Neji-kun, what are you going to do next? Should you stay here with me, a lonely old man, or should you go back to your Iron Kingdom stronghold?"

"Well, I'm not in a hurry just yet. I want to know what the situation is in the ninja world now. It's been more than ten years in a flash. I have to understand the world again. Otherwise, won't I become an old stubborn who can't keep up with the times?

?”

"Hahahaha! That's fine, I just finished an experiment and am about to take a short break, so let me tell you about the changes over the years."
