Hokage: I Neji will never go offline

"Uh... Neji-sama, what are you talking about? I just treat Ranmaru as my younger brother."

On the streets of the small town of Kawa no Kuni, Neji was walking on the street as if he had lost his dream. His whole body was filled with frustration. Shiro looked at Neji with a puzzled look on his face.

"Master Neji, what's wrong with you? Weren't you still very energetic before coming to town? Why do you feel like you've been hit?"

Ranmaru looked at Neji's back and tilted his head, showing some confusion.

"Master Neji is very disappointed and frustrated right now. It's so strange and I can't understand it."

"Don't talk to me, leave me alone."

Originally, Neji came to this town very happily to test the red eyes, but after the test, Neji was completely disappointed.

When Neji used his red eyes to see through people, he either couldn't see through them, or the whole person was seen through, completely unable to satisfy his dirty thoughts.

As for the accompanying powers of perception, sensing danger, and creating illusions, these abilities are almost useless to Neji who has the reincarnation eye. Neji cannot see other people's hearts like Ranmaru. The only function of this red eye is quite

So Neji was given a "telescope".

Shiro and Ranmaru looked at each other, but neither could understand Neji's situation and shook their heads in confusion.

After leaving the town, Neji's mood recovered a little, but he was still a little disappointed.

Ranmaru, who was being led by Shiro, suddenly stopped, his eyes lit up with a coquettish red light and looked at the grass next to him.

"Lord Neji, someone is there."

Neji stopped and followed Ranmaru's gaze. The originally calm grass shook slightly, and a white-haired boy slowly walked out of the grass.

"Kimimaro, what are you doing here?"

The person who appeared in front of Ningci was Kimimaro. Kimimaro looked good now, but what surprised Ningci was that Orochimaru had just had a fight with Scorpion in the country of Sichuan and ran away. As Orochimaru

Kimimaro, who was under Maru, actually dared to come to the country of Kawakawa to find himself, a member of the Akatsuki organization.

As soon as Kimimaro saw Neji, he knelt down in front of Neji very respectfully and lowered his head.

"Lord Neji, Lord Orochimaru has something to ask you. If you have time, please come with me."

"Oh? Orochimaru just defected from the Akatsuki, and now he wants to see me, a member of the Akatsuki, for something? This is really new, but it's okay. I've been pretty free lately anyway, so I'll go with you."

"Please come with me here."

Kimimaro stood up and made a "please" gesture to Neji, and then walked in front to lead the way.

Neji and the others followed Kimimaro into the woods and came to the entrance of a big tree hole deep in the woods. Orochimaru slowly walked out of the shadow of the tree hole.

"Hehehehe~~ Neji-kun, I didn't expect you to come here. I thought we were already enemies."

Ranmaru shrank his neck when he saw Orochimaru, and his body involuntarily shrank behind Shiro.

Neji shrugged, sat down on a tree stump nearby, crossed his legs and looked at Orochimaru.

"Did you send Kimimaro to see me because you weren't sure if he was an enemy? It's really you."

Orochimaru glanced at Kimimaro next to him, stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, showing his signature smile.

"Hehehehe~~ Although I don't know how you did it, I did find the Hyuga bloodline in Kimimaro. It was the Hyuga bloodline that prevented Kimimaro from suffering from the blood disease. It's a pity that Kimimaro

Lu's blood disease also prevented Kimimaro from opening his eyes. However, I think Neji-kun also wants to know what will happen to Kimimaro next? So I conclude that even if we are enemies, you will not kill him.

It’s Kimimaro’s death.”

Neji squinted his eyes, took a deep look at Orochimaru, chuckled and shook his head.

"Haha, let's talk about your purpose. Are you taking such a big risk to come to me just to show off your logical ability?"

"Hehe~ Of course not, Neji-kun, I want to cooperate with you, or in other words, I want you to help me. The remuneration can be easily negotiated."

Orochimaru's expression became serious, and Neji raised his head towards Orochimaru.

"go on."

"Hehe~~ A few days ago, the Sound Ninja Village has obtained the quota for Konoha's chunin exam two years later. I want to take this opportunity to make Konoha disappear! This plan is a plan for the collapse of Konoha! Neji-kun, as long as we

Together, this plan is absolutely foolproof!"

"Plan for the collapse of Konoha?"

Neji narrowed his eyes and rubbed his chin with his hand, thinking about it. Orochimaru saw that Neji seemed interested, and his mood became a little more excited.

"That's right! This plan is very beneficial to you both publicly and privately. Konoha owns the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. As long as the plan succeeds, you can take away the Jinchuuriki. As a branch of the family, you should have experienced darkness yourself, right?

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have taken the initiative to ask to join Xiao, this is a perfect opportunity for revenge, how about it?”

Neji shrugged and leaned his back against the trunk of the fallen tree behind him.

"I have to say that I am very interested in your proposal, but how should I put it? Although I don't have much affection for Konoha, I don't hate it to the point of insisting on destroying Konoha. I joined Akatsuki just to pursue

It's just my freedom, my caged bird has been released, and I don't have much feeling for Konoha anymore, so if you ask me to help you destroy Konoha, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to agree."

"Really? That's such a pity. I thought you should have left Konoha with hatred on your back."

Neji shook his head, with a meaningful smile on his face.

"Although I won't assist you, I will be very happy to go there when the time comes. Not only do I want to see what you will do to Konoha, but as you said, the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki is in Konoha, and

I'm also quite interested in your technique."

"Oh? That technique?"

Orochimaru looked at Neji in surprise, and Neji's smile gradually faded.

"That's the technique that can make the dead regain their value."

Orochimaru's pupils shrank suddenly, showing a surprised expression, and a smile appeared on Neji's face again.

"I want to verify something on that technique. I hope to be able to see that technique by then. Remember to inform me when you start your plan. In return, if your plan fails, I will stand up at the critical moment to protect you.

How about fate?"

"Hehehe! It's a reliable promise. In that case, we're waiting for you!"

After saying that, Orochimaru threw a scroll to Neji.

"Keep this scroll close to your body. I will notify you through this scroll when the time comes."
