Hokage: I Neji will never go offline

Shiro came to sit next to Neji, picked up the rice ball on the wooden plate and took a bite. While eating, he glanced at the tent.

"Did Neji-sama receive any information? Why did he leave suddenly?"

"I haven't received the information, but if we don't leave, I will be nagged to death by you. Anyway, we are waiting. It is the same if we wait outside, so that you will not complain all day long."

After the two finished eating, they put away the tent and walked down the stairs. At this time, Zabuza was sitting on a chair on the first floor. When he saw Neji and Shiro coming down the stairs, Zabuza took the initiative to come over.

"Are you leaving now?"

"Ah, yes, after all I have bothered you for so long, I feel a little embarrassed. By the way, how is that Dazna? Did the person you sent succeed?"

Zabuza shook his head, a trace of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"I got news this morning that the two men I sent have all been killed. I'm afraid there is a powerful guy on the other side. I'm going to take action myself."

"Oh? Are you dead? It seems that your subordinates are really in trouble, but this also means that Tazuna has left Konoha, right? Then go and see him."

Neji's understatement made Zabuza's expression change, and the murderous intent in his eyes also dimmed.

"Are you interested in that old man? That is my assassination target."

Neji shrugged, passed Zabuza and walked toward the door.

"I have no interest in that old man. I am only interested in the few brats who escorted the old man. If you want to kill the old man, just go ahead and kill him. I won't stop you."

While they were talking, Neji and Shiro had already left the room, and Zabuza showed a smile on his bandaged mouth.

"Hmph! In this case, I don't have to worry anymore."

A few days later.

Neji and Shiro were hiding behind a tree on the side of the road, while Kakashi led Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura to escort Tazuna towards them.

Neji immediately locked his eyes on Kakashi, with a smile on his lips.

"Shiro, the black-haired boy is Itachi's younger brother Sasuke, and the yellow-haired boy is the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki."

"Jinchūriki?"

Shiro was startled, and his eyes immediately turned into Sharingan eyes to stare at Naruto, but soon Shiro shook his head in disappointment.

"You can't feel too much tailed beast chakra, so you still can't master the power of the tailed beast?"

Neji chuckled lightly and patted Shiro's shoulder with his hand, causing Shiro's Sharingan to disappear immediately.

"Shiro, not everyone can use the tailed beast chakra like Lao Zi. Don't have high expectations for him. Our purpose this time is not to capture the Nine-Tails, but I think you should be cautious about that one."

Is Itachi's brother interested? How about it? Do you want to get in touch? But it's best not to expose the Sharingan. After all, Sasuke is there, and your Sharingan is not easy to explain."

Shiro looked at Kakashi and his group who were getting closer and closer, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

Neji smiled slightly and disappeared immediately.

Kakashi walked at the front of the team, with dead fish eyes, as if he didn't care about anything. Sasuke put his hands behind his head, looking like he was doing nothing. Sakura was a little alert, but didn't express much, only Naruto

People are very serious.

"Who's there!"

Suddenly, Naruto seemed to notice something, and immediately took out a kunai and threw it towards the grass on the roadside.

"Ding!"

As soon as the kunai entered the grass, it made a sound of metal collision. When everyone heard the collision, they immediately got into a fighting stance and prepared to fight.

The grass trembled slightly, and Bai emerged from the grass in a panic.

"Well, I, I'm not the enemy."

In order to make himself look non-threatening, Bai opened his palms while speaking to show that he didn't have anything in his hands.

Kakashi's eyes became a little wary, and Naruto pointed at Shiro and shouted excitedly.

"Hahahaha! You saw it! Sasuke, this time it's not a rabbit, this time it's a real person!"

Sasuke twitched the corner of his mouth and slapped Naruto on the head.

"Idiot! This is probably an enemy! Be more serious!"

Naruto reacted immediately, re-arranged his fighting stance, and was wary of Bai.

Shiro took two steps back in fear, while Kakashi took back his kunai and took a step forward.

"So, who is this lady? What are you doing here?"

Bai patted his chest with his hands and took a long breath.

"My name is Bai, and I live in the wooden house over there. I was originally going to the bridge, but I was suddenly attacked. Another thing is that I am a man."

At this time, Shiro was wearing a blue cheongsam, and with her long hair, she looked like a flat-chested beauty. However, Shiro said that he was a man, and even Kakashi was a little surprised.

"Male? So you just said you were going to the bridge?"

"Yes, because I heard that the Cardo Group is not allowed to build bridges, I am going to go and have a look, by the way! Although I am not a ninja, I have learned ninjutsu and can fight!"

As he spoke, Shiro took a kunai in his hand. Kakashi looked at Shiro carefully, and soon a smile appeared on his face, and he put away the kunai in his hand.

"Well, since he is not an enemy, there is no need to be so vigilant. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura should all put away their kunai. He is not an enemy."

Several people nodded and put away the kunai. Seeing this, Shiro also put a smile on his face and put away the kunai.

"By the way, who are you?"

"Ah, I forgot to introduce you. I am Kakashi. They are Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. They are all Konoha ninjas. That is Mr. Tatsuna, the target of our mission to protect."

Bai pretended to be suddenly enlightened and nodded.

"Oh~~ You are all Konoha ninjas. I heard that Konoha ninjas are very powerful."

Kakashi's eyes narrowed into a crescent shape, and before Kakashi could speak, Naruto took the lead and raised his head proudly.

"Haha! Of course, we are very powerful!"

"Idiot! You almost hurt someone just now! Now you have the nerve to be so proud!"

Sasuke slapped Naruto on the head again, causing Naruto to stumble and take a few steps forward, almost falling.

Shiro covered his mouth and chuckled, focusing on Kakashi.

"It seems like they have a good relationship. So, where is Mr. Kakashi going?"

"Ah, we are going to escort Mr. Dazna home first, and then protect him to build the bridge."

"Huh? Build a bridge? Really?"

Shiro pretended to be surprised and looked at Dazuna. Even though Shiro had made Kakashi and his team lower their guard just now, Dazuna still looked wary at this time.

Seeing that Tazuna didn't answer him, Shiro looked at Kakashi again, and Kakashi looked at Tatsuna and nodded to Shiro.

"Ah, we need to continue building the bridge."

"Really? That's great! Can you let me go with you?"
