Starting from the annihilation of the clan, Hinata became a rebel ninja

Neji limped back home.

It felt like sulfur had been poured into my eyes, and it was burning and painful, but fortunately I could see.

He locked the door, took off his ripped pants, cleaned the blood stains on his body, and put on clothes that were wide enough to cover the wound. Then he came to the mirror and turned around, feeling that it could almost cover it up. Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

His eyes shifted to the cyan curse mark on his forehead that had returned to normal, and Neji couldn't help but clenched his fists.

Nails dug into flesh.

"Ask your brother to send that set of physical skills to the family secret treasury! Otherwise, you will continue to be tortured tomorrow."

Hinata Ling's warning before leaving was like a needle pricking into Neji's heart, echoing throughout the body as the blood circulated.

That's my brother's own physical skill, I will never teach it to you...

However, when he thought of the pain when the curse seal broke out just now, Neji suddenly felt helpless in his heart, and the sharp pain like lateness was still faintly felt between his eyebrows until now.

This is the second time Ningci has experienced this feeling. The first time the curse seal occurred was when his father Hizashi committed suicide four years ago. After learning the truth, he immediately wanted to find Hinata Hizashi to fight for his life, but he hadn't seen him yet. The patriarch, the elder of the clan made him realize what "the price of clashing with the elders" means.

They have no chance against the power of the caged bird.

My father is like this, my brother is like this, and he is like this too.

It was like this before, and it is like this now.

This will remain the case for the foreseeable future.

Their children and grandchildren will also be branded with this slave mark. Once they resist, they can only be like Ningji himself just now. After the curse took effect, he knelt on the ground like a slave, letting Hyuga Ling laugh and ridicule without any resistance. The possibility of...

"Dong dong dong!"

There was a knock on the door, it was probably his brother Ning Qi who was back.

The fist gradually loosened, and Neji's anger and hatred could only turn into a weak sigh. While wrapping the scar on his palm with a bandage, he lowered his head and looked at himself in the mirror for the second time, and then squeezed out a sigh. He opened the door with a smile on his face.

The door was opened, and it was not his brother Ning Qi, but a white-haired ANBU.

"Is Hinata Ningqi back?" The other party glanced at home.

Isn't my brother on a mission in ANBU? Do you still know if he's back?

Neji suppressed the doubts in his heart, but still said:

"Not yet, he's been coming back late lately."

"What is your relationship with Ning Qi?"

"My name is Ningji, and I am Ning Qi's younger brother."

"Do you know Hinata Tokuma?"

"do not know."

"What about Hinata Yue?"

"It's a sister from a separate family who lives in the bakery in front." Ningci said. He also knew that Hinata Yue liked his brother Ning Qi very much. As Ning Qi's younger brother, he often got bread from him.

"Then when was the last time you saw Hinata Yue?"

Last seen...?

Neji suddenly hesitated. He carefully recalled the question he had just asked. Why did he feel like he was investigating a suspect?

"My brother...what happened?" he asked cautiously.

"It's just some routine investigation, don't worry," the ANBU said casually, but the eyes behind the mask were fixed on Neji, "If you believe that your brother has not done anything bad, then the more accurate you are, The sooner your brother will be cleared."

Neji did not notice the solemn look on the ANBU in front of him, but quickly stated that he would seriously cooperate with the investigation.

"So when was the last time you saw Hinata?"

"It was about noon two days ago...What's wrong with Sister Yue?" After Neji finished speaking, he suddenly found that the hand of the ANBU in front of him who was writing a note suddenly froze.

"How long did you say you saw it?" The other person's breathing was obviously a little rapid.

This made Neji less confident. He hesitated for a while, and then said truthfully: "Two days ago, in the dense forest to the east, I saw her planting trees..."

"Wait a minute - what did you see her doing over there??" Anbu asked quickly.

"Plant... plant trees, they should be fruit trees or something. After all, the dense forest over there is considered the public property of our Hyuga clan..." Neji said intermittently, not understanding what was strange about this.

Anbu held the pen and said nothing for a long time.

Ri Xiangyue's body was found in the eastern dense forest, and the autopsy report of the Intelligence Department directly proved that Ri Xiangyue was beheaded and died by a mysterious killer in the eastern dense forest a week ago. How could he still be in that dense forest two days ago? Plant a tree! ? ?

The kid in front of me is lying.

Or was it who he saw two days ago?

The ANBU then mentioned a few more names, and Neji answered truthfully, and there was nothing unusual about them on the surface.

He nodded slightly and asked another crucial question:

"Then do you know what your brother is busy with recently?"

"I don't know," Neji shook his head.

"Then let me put it another way, do you think your brother has done anything strange recently?"

Is there anything strange about it? Neci thought for a long time this time before slowly speaking:

"His eyesight was not very good a few days ago. It seemed that he was injured and his vision was severely reduced. He has been staying at the Hyuga Clan for treatment. He only officially returned to the team yesterday. I don't know if this is strange..."

What Ningci said was true, but he played a trick on this question, because Ning Qi's white eyes were injured and his strength would be greatly reduced. How could Ning Qi do something illegal in this state? ?

Obviously you have misunderstood!

The ANBU silently wrote down the answers. In addition to the serious discrepancies between the records about Hinata Yue and the actual situation, whether the remaining answers were abnormal still required returning to the ANBU for data comparison.

"Thank you for your cooperation, I..."

"What are you doing?"

A voice suddenly sounded, and Anbu felt himself being enveloped by a shadow, and his heart suddenly accelerated. He put one hand into his waist pocket, turned around very naturally, and said to the young man who had blocked him behind him at some point:

"Captain Ning Qi, I am Takizawa Yamaaki. I was assigned by the Hokage to investigate the disappearance of Hyuga Tokuma and others."

Ning Qi is very young, but Shan Ming is very aware of the danger of the other party. This is an existence that can compete with the squad leader Uchiha Itachi and is called the "Two Prides of Konoha"! He is a genius who will soon be nominated as a Jonin!

Takizawayama clearly understood the gap between himself and his opponent. Although he was a few years older, he couldn't make a move against Itachi Uchiha. The same result would probably be the same against Ning Qi, who had the same name as Itachi.

Ning Qi was silent, but those cold eyes gave Takizawa Shanming a great sense of oppression. Shanming quietly held the kunai in his waist pocket.

"So, are you done with the investigation?" Ning Qi suddenly spoke, announcing the end of the brief confrontation.

Takizawa Yamaaki breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly:

"Yes, the investigation is over."

"No." Ning Qi got out of the way.

Shan Ming quickly left the house that made him panic.

"Why do those eyes feel different from other Byakugan..."

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Shan Ming felt that Ning Qi's eyes were covered with a layer of gray fog, making it difficult to see clearly. It didn't look like he was injured at all.

"The eastern jungle." He murmured.

In any case, the investigation has made a breakthrough. Assuming that what Neji said is true, then there must be witnesses who saw Hinata who was still "planting trees" on the third day after his death!

After tying the collected information to the pigeon's leg and watching it fly to the Hokage Building, Takizawa Yamaaki immediately decided to take a look around the dense forest in the eastern part of Konoha Village where Hinata Yue's body was found.

The Hyuga clan does not take the lives of branch clan members such as Hyuga Tokuma seriously, but their colleagues in the Konoha ANBU cannot ignore them.

Is someone playing tricks, or is this brat Neci simply lying? As long as he goes to the eastern jungle, everything will come to light.
