Hokage: I Neji will never go offline

At the entrance of Konoha Village, Ningci and Shiro entered the village with the flow of people. Shiro was more alert because he didn't know what was going on, while Ningci behaved very casually and sometimes looked around curiously.

"Yo! You two just came back from a mission, right?"

A voice suddenly sounded next to him, saying hello from a ninja wearing a round hat, with his hair covering half of his face.

Bai's heart tightened and he clenched his fist subconsciously, while Neji smiled and waved at the ninja.

"Ah, it's Izumo-senpai. Yes, we just went to the aunt's house in the next village to pull weeds. Now we are almost exhausted. We really want to go home and take a shower."

"Haha, really? Then go back quickly."

"Well! Goodbye, Izumo-senpai!"

Neji waved to Shenyue Izumo again, took Shiro's hand, and ran quickly into the village.

Although it has been six years since Neji left Konoha, there has been little change in Konoha Village. At first glance, it is prosperous, and because of the Chunin Exams, the village is particularly lively at this time.

"Come this way. Although you have already sneaked in, you must pay attention. Now is the time when the security of the village is the most tense. If you make any special moves, you will attract the attention of the Konoha ninjas."

Neji lowered his voice and told Shiro, and led Shiro towards his former residence. Shiro looked left and right as he walked, very curious.

"Master Neji, the people in this village look very happy."

"Haha, of course, this is the largest hidden village in the world. Among other things, the Third Hokage has always done a good job in treating the people. It's a pity that he is too old now."

Shiro nodded thoughtfully, and the two quickly entered the Hyuga clan's residence.

As soon as he entered Hinata's station, Neji's pace slowed down a lot and he walked very carefully. However, I don't know if it was due to the Chuunin exam. There were very few people staying at Hinata's station at this time, and most of them were not in the station.

.

Arriving at the door of the small house where Neji once lived, Neji took out the key that he had almost forgotten and opened the door that had been closed for many years.

The layout of the house had not changed at all from when Neji left. The thick dust accumulated on the floor and tables proved that no one had lived in the house. Neji could smell a damp smell as soon as he opened the door.

As soon as he stepped into the house, the dust in the house immediately started to float, causing Neji to cough and quickly cover his mouth and nose.

"Ahem, cough, cough! It seems that if you want to live here, you need to clean it well."

As soon as Bai entered the room, he immediately began to observe the surroundings, as if he was very curious about everything in the room.

"Is this a place where only Neji-sama could live? It looks pretty good."

Neji closed the door, blew hard on a dusty chair and sat down.

"Ah, yes, it's really nice to live here."

Shiro's eyes wandered, and finally stopped on a lunch box on the table.

"Hey? Was this box used by Neji-sama to eat in the past?"

Neji followed Shiro's gaze and looked at the lunch box. A touch of tenderness immediately flashed in his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

"Ah, this box is the one that used to bring me meals every day. Tiantian and I have been very close since childhood. She always loves to come and play with me. Later, when Tiantian went to school, I didn't want to go to school. She was worried about me being alone every day.

I will be hungry at home, so I prepare two lunch boxes every day, one for me in the morning and one for myself."

"Hey? Really? Then when Neji-sama left, wouldn't he be very sad every day?"

Neji immediately recalled how excited Tenten was when he reunited with him, and he couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Yeah, I think she must have been very sad when she heard that I was kidnapped by Itachi. That guy was a very soft-hearted guy."

Shiro was very keenly aware of the flash of sadness in Neji's eyes, realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, and quickly changed the subject.

"One of the purposes of our visit this time is to take her away."

"Ah, yes, I won't make her sad again this time, absolutely not!"

Neji's eyes were firmer than ever before, but at this moment, the conversation between the two people suddenly sounded outside the house.

"Hey? Why do I feel like there's someone in this room?"

"Go, go, go! Are you hallucinating? This room belongs to Hyuga Neji. No one has lived here since the day the Uchiha clan was exterminated. How could there be anyone here?"

"But I really..."

The conversation between the two people got closer and closer. Neji frowned and his eyes lit up red.

Soon the panicked voices of the two people just now were heard outside the house.

"Hey! There's a strange guy over there, have you seen it?"

"Ah! That guy is running away, hurry up and chase him! The Chuunin exams will start the day after tomorrow, there must be no risks!"

The voices of the two people became farther and farther away, and Neji breathed a sigh of relief, and the red light in his eyes slowly extinguished.

"Huh~ Choosing to live here is really not a good choice. Fortunately, I have red eyes that can deceive them with illusions. Bai, let's go. We can't stay here any longer."

"yes!"

Neji and Shiro immediately left the house and left Hinata's station, heading towards the forest of death.

Neji and Shiro were very anxious when they left the station, but after entering the busy city, Neji and Shiro returned to normal and walked struttingly on the street without attracting anyone's attention.

In the forest of death, Neji and Shiro found a tree hole as a resting place.

"Lord Neji, this forest seems to be more dangerous than ordinary forests. I saw no less than ten poisonous insects along the way."

Neji and Shiro often spent the night in the forest, and Shiro would often go to the forest to look for food at night. They were quite familiar with forests in general.

Neji shrugged, chose a dry place to sit down, and began to build the prototype of a campfire out of wood.

"Of course, this forest is called the Forest of Death, and it is also one of the venues for the Chunin Examination. How can it not be dangerous? But for us, that's all."

Bai nodded in realization. Suddenly, Bai's eyes narrowed, and he threw out three ice needles. The ice needles passed through the gaps between several trees and nailed a half-meter-long centipede in the distance to the tree trunk.

"Master Neji, should we try that tonight?"

In order to let Neji know what he was talking about, Shiro pointed at the centipede in the distance. Without thinking, Neji threw a card at the centipede. The card immediately turned into lightning and electrocuted the centipede directly into charcoal.

"Are you kidding? That thing is poisonous, okay? And even if it's not poisonous, I can't swallow it."
