The moon was in the sky, and the night was deep.

The Hyuga clan is destined to sleepless tonight, and Neji lives in a rather biased place. It was a good time at this time, and it was still quiet.

In the yard, wood was burning in the stove, making a crackling sound.

Neji and Tsunade stood by and chatted for a while about Linghua Technique.

Time will heal everything, this sentence really makes sense. Before Neji mentioned this technique, Tsunade would still be very reluctant to say it, and reluctant to recall it. But now, with the passage of time, she can also let go.

"If you can really take the Linghua Technique research further, then I will reward you on behalf of the village." Tsunade said solemnly.

She knows how special this technique is. If there can be an effect like Neji said, that can exist in the mental space of multiple people at the same time, then...there are too many applications.

"What reward?" Neji asked casually.

Tsunade paused: "Let's talk about it then."

"...It's really a bad check."

Tsunade snorted softly and turned the subject to the consultant.

"Two consultants, I have already figured out how to deal with them." Tsunade said, "I will temporarily freeze the status and power of their consultants in the name of Hokage."

In the village, although the consultant can provide some advice, Hokage has the final say on important matters.

Tsunade really wants to remove the positions of two consultants. It's okay, but Hokage has never done this before.

Neji shook his head, "This is not good."

"I know what you are thinking, but you have no evidence."

"I don't have it, it doesn't mean that others don't."

Tsunade frowned: "Who?"

"Your old friend."

"My old friend..." Tsunade took a while to react. "Don't you say Orochimaru?"

Neji defaults.

"What a joke!" Tsunade's volume suddenly increased. "Not to mention whether Orochimaru is there. If there is, why should he give it to you? Besides, now Konoha is hunting him, how could he show up?"

Tsunade was a little excited, but Neji still had a calm tone: "Didn't he have started activities recently? You have also received information. I just want to apply to you for another snake hunt."

"no!"

Tsunade refused without even thinking about it.

"Orochimaru suffered from the last loss. Now he will definitely be very cautious. It is very difficult to catch him. Besides, his place of activity is near the border between the country of grass and the country of soil. These two countries are already very sensitive to us, you In the past, it will be too easy to cause conflict. If you don’t pay attention, it will turn into a war that cannot be ended!"

Tsunade obviously thought about this issue in advance, but Neji also thought about it in advance.

"I know. But..." He took out his sunglasses from his pocket and put on them. "Just a little bit of disguise."

"..."

"I will definitely not let go of these two consultants." Neji stated his attitude, very determined. "They wanted to kill me in the first place, and now they are thinking of people around me. They have crossed the bottom line, Master Hokage, you already know who I am, and you know that I will definitely not let it go."

Tsunade's expression was complicated and he didn't say a word.

How could she not understand.

From the time this kid asked her directly to kill Danzo, she felt that this kid was a bit "crazy" and was very determined. If you decide to do something, you will never give up halfway.

Now that the situation has developed to this point, Neji and the two consultants are no different, and there is no possibility of mediation.

Either you die or the extent of my death.

The air became silent, and the two did not speak for a few minutes, only the sound of the flame burning.

After a while, Tsunade spoke.

"Have you ever thought about it, and Third Hokage. What is his attitude? Although he is retired, his influence in the village is still very large."

Neji smiled and said, "Didn't Third Generation express its views a long time ago? Support me. And you."

"You mean... he asked Asuma to report that to me, was he expressing his attitude?"

"Not only." Neji said, "Third Generation also found me and helped me find a Summoning beast."

"Summoning beast?"

"Well, from the apes... this is not the point. The point is, this is Third Hokage showing me good."

"..."

"Although the old man is older, his head is not confused."

When Neji said this, Tsunade's expression looked weird.

This kid... he didn't even have twenty, and he actually said that an old man was not confused.

There is a sense of contradiction.

However, Neji himself doesn't think that if crossing can be counted as one life, he is two lives, and his age is more than 40, not much younger than Tsunade, so he always speaks with her in a "same age" tone.

"I have to think about it again."

Tsunade did not immediately agree, and Neji expressed understanding.

Afterwards, the two talked about the issues after the Hyuga clan, about the various changes that would be caused after the spell seal was lifted. And even the changes in the village... There are many things that can be said, and Tsunade didn't go back until the latter half of the night.

When she went back, Shizune was still up and waiting for her to come back.

"Master Tsunade, I thought you won't be back tonight." Shizune breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't come back? Where do I sleep if I don't come back?"

"Uh, sleeping with Hyuga Neji?" Shizune subconsciously asked.

Tsunade turned black for an instant, and almost knocked Shizune away with a punch.

"What nonsense! How could I sleep there! Okay, you should rest quickly, and you will have to work tomorrow!"

"understood……"

...

Rain Shinobi Village.

"Lord Angel, another group of traitors were caught yesterday!"

Inside the office, Ishikawa reports loudly.

Konan nodded slightly: "I see, you did a good job."

"Hehe, it's all for the village!"

Ishikawa smiled. Two years later, he has also grown a lot taller, and the former stunned boy now looks a bit like an adult.

He is now in charge of searching for and arresting the remnants of the Hanzang Party.

Although Hanzō of the Salamander has been dead for a long time, in Rain Shinobi, many of his remnants are secretly planning to retake the village.

For these people, Ishikawa naturally hates them, and originally applied for the arrest job.

"Lord Angel, these guys are getting more and more cunning now, and some seem to be supported by hidden villages in other countries. It seems that those hidden villages still want us Rain Shinobi to keep turmoil. Damn it!" Ishikawa said angrily "In their view, the stability of our village is a mistake! Isn't it more in their interests because of a turbulent country of rain!"

Konan nodded slightly, Ishikawa was young, and it was really not easy to think of this.

"But fortunately, under the leadership of Lord God and Lord Angel, we will definitely get better and better!" Ishikawa said expectantly.

Konan looked at his expression and was a little speechless for a while.

Will it really get better and better? She dared not assert.

In particular, she recently felt that there was something faintly wrong in the organization. She couldn't tell what was wrong, but she felt very bad intuitively.

Ishikawa finished the report and left the office.

Konan sat for a while, and opened the drawer on the left hand side.

Inside was a handful of kunai, the one that killed Danzo two years ago.

As revenge for Yahiko, Konan used it to kill Danzo. He was very happy at the time, and it is still the case.

And seeing this dagger, she would naturally think of Hyuga Neji.

In the past two years, the two of them have not contacted again. However, Konan knew that there would be another day of goodbye. It's just... that day, I'm afraid I will meet as an opponent.

She stopped thinking, closed the drawer, got up and left the office to find Nagato.

Two years later, Nagato's health condition got worse...

Konan looked at the scrawny Nagato sitting on the special device with a bit of sorrow in his heart.

The Gedo Statue was too expensive, and Nagato was injured in his early years, which made it look like this.

This made her sometimes wonder, even if her dream can be realized, she can successfully establish a deterrent in the world of Ninja... How long can Nagato, as a god, supervise this deterrence?

She didn't know if Nagato had thought about this issue, and the two had hardly discussed it.

"Konan." Nagato's voice was very soft, as if trying to save every bit of energy. "Everything is almost ready, and the plan is about to officially begin."

"... Three Tails hasn't been reborn yet."

"It's not clear yet. I have been investigating this time and I haven't found any trace of Three Tails. However, we can catch One Tail and Second Tail first."

"One Tail is now Sand Shinobi Kazekage, directly in the village, will it attract the attention of other hidden villages?"

"Sooner or later, it will be noticed. There is no other way. Also, someone is already investigating Akatsuki... If you drag on, the change will only get bigger and bigger. Cough." Nagato coughed, "Sand Shinobi I was miserable by Orochimaru this time, and now the village’s combat effectiveness is very poor, and it’s time to do it."

"...Then which group are you going to let go?"

"Green Dragon and Jade Girl. Green Dragon's fighting style has an advantage in Sand Shinobi, Jade Girl... Sasori originally came from Sand Shinobi and knows the village best."

Konan nodded, "I see. I will notify them immediately."

"Um."

Nagato slowly said, "For us, most Jinchūriki are easy to handle, maybe only Eight Tails and Nine Tails are more troublesome."

"..."

Eight Tails and Nine Tails, according to the intelligence surveyed in the past two years, Eight Tails and Jinchūriki are the most perfect combination, and their combat effectiveness is terrifying. Not to mention Nine Tails, as Chakra's largest tail beast, its combat effectiveness is extraordinary. And there are many strong people to protect Konoha.

To catch these two, ordinary members are not enough.

Nagato said, "I'll catch it myself...cough cough cough..." He coughed suddenly and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Konan's face changed slightly, and he took a step forward: "Nagato, you..."

"I'm okay." Nagato stopped his cough, wiped the corners of his mouth with one hand, and held the handrail tightly with the other, leaving only mountain-like steadfastness on his skinny face. "I will realize our dream and bring peace to this world. Before that, I will never fall."
