Chapter 507(1/2)
Looking at the little boy with white eyes who walked in, Nagazawa thought for a while and quickly locked his identity, Hyuga Neji, the genius of the branch of the Hyuga clan.
In the early stages of the original work, Neji should have been the kind of person who came out with a sense of oppression. He had the feeling of a master, but he was standing on the opposite side of the protagonist.
During the Chunin Exam, after Neji failed to persuade Hinata to quit, he beat Hinata until she vomited blood, and then mocked Hinata and Naruto who was cheering for Hinata.
But it would be inaccurate to regard Neji as a ruthless person.
The reason why Neji was so aggressive was because he had great hatred for the Hyuga clan. When Hinata was three years old, some Kumogakure ninjas came to kidnap Hinata, but they were discovered and killed by Hyuga Hizashi.
Not only did Kumogakure, who failed in his plan to draw the Byakugan, admit his mistake, but he also criticized him and said that if Konoha didn't give them a satisfactory answer, they would start a war.
At that time, the Third Ninja World War had not ended long ago. Konoha was unable to fight anymore, and Iwagakure was also ready to make a move, so Konoha was forced to complete a deal with Kumogakure, a life for a life.
Originally it was Hinata Hizashi who was supposed to die, but in the end Hinata Hizashi took the initiative to die and died instead of his brother.
Neji always believed that the clan forced his father to die as a substitute, so he always hated the clan, Hyuuga, Hinata and Hinata.
Faced with the existence of "the enemy who killed his father", how could Neji hold back? Since he was unwilling to admit defeat, of course he would do whatever he wanted to do.
But Neji is not an unreasonable person. When he saw his father's suicide note and knew that his father really volunteered to die, he no longer hated Hinata and Hinata and Hinata, and he also felt sorry for his previous actions.
Feeling guilty.
Finally, during the Fourth Ninja War, Neji used his life to block the attack of the Ten-Tails, protected Hinata and Naruto, and sacrificed his life. He was the only Konoha Twelve strongman to die in battle.
I have to say, this is a character that makes people feel a bit uncomfortable.
He is extremely talented and is the most talented ninja among the Hyuga clan. The Hyuga clan only teaches the secrets of the clan, which he successfully taught himself. He failed in the Chunin exam, but he was the first among the twelve to be promoted to Jonin.
.
The tragedy in his childhood had already distorted his outlook on life, but it did not distort his entire being. After learning the truth, he was able to admit his mistakes.
He didn't like to talk, always had an expressionless face, and seemed emotionless, but he was a person who cared about his companions, and even died to protect his companions.
Recalling Ningji's tragic experience in the original work, Nagaze had a lot of thoughts, and he quickly withdrew his gaze.
The tragic experience of Ningji in the original work can no longer be reproduced. Kumogakure is now very honest. Not to mention coming to Konoha to steal a look, even if a Konoha ninja goes to their village to steal a blood-stained ninja, they have to hold it in.
If there is still no troublemaker like Kumogakure, Neji's father will not die, and Neji will not become the Neji who is pessimistic about fate all day long.
"Ah, you were the one that day..." Naruto recognized Neji as the person who helped Hinata talk before, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he couldn't call anyone else's name at all, and he couldn't help scratching his head in embarrassment.
Scratch your hair.
Neji first looked calm and said honorifics to the adults in the room, then took out the letter Hinata gave him, then handed it to Naruto and said: "Hinata gave this to you, she can't get out.
So I help you."
"She said it was the story about the Shodaime-sama and the others that you asked for before."
Upon hearing that it was Hashirama and Madara's information, Naruto's eyes instantly lit up, he took the letter and thanked him.
Neji nodded and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Naruto.
"Um, what's your name? Thank you so much." Naruto asked directly in order to avoid the embarrassment of not being able to call you by name next time we meet.
Neji paused for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "Hyuuga Neji."
"Xiao Ning, do you want some tea or some snacks?" Kushina asked with a kind face.
"No, thank you." After saying that, Neji was ready to say goodbye.
Seeing Neji getting ready to leave, Naruto showed a thoughtful expression.
'I feel like he is the same type of person as Yurihua.'
Naruto felt that the aloof Ningji and Yurika had similar personalities, but he didn't know if Neji was as powerful as Yurika.
"How's Hizashi doing lately?" Nagaze suddenly said.
Neji was stunned and looked at Nagaze with doubtful eyes. He obviously didn't know why Nagaze suddenly asked about his father. No, why did he know that his father was Hyuga Hizashi?
This sentence contains a lot of information.
"I know your father, and he once said that he has a genius son." Nagaze said with a faint smile.
He was really not lying. He not only knew Hyuga Hizashi, but also Hyuuga Hizashi. He didn't just know each other by name, but had some exchanges with him.
As for the reasons, there are many. Excluding some miscellaneous little things, there are only two main reasons.
First, as a high-ranking official in Konoha, they sometimes interact with each other because of their work. Hinata is also considered an important force in Konoha, and the strategic value of the Byakugan is great.
For example, the time when Hyuga ninjas were not allowed to leave the village, it was due to a discussion between Nagazawa and Hinata Hizashi.
The second reason is the training team.
Nagazawa set the tone for the development of the training team very early. The ninja version of the Six Styles he improved would not become the Six Styles of the Anbu that belonged exclusively to Anbu, but the Six Styles of Konoha Ninjas.
After completing all ANBU training work, Nagaze quickly formulated a new training plan, allowing some ninjas in the village who were good at taijutsu and nintaijutsu to learn the Six Styles.
When talking about Taijutsu in Konoha, one cannot avoid mentioning Hinata. The entire Hyuga clan is a ninja clan that practices its own ancestral Taijutsu, Soft Fist.
They do not practice other ninjutsu, but only the soft fist that can be matched with the Byakugan.
Soft Fist is a special physical technique. Only by possessing Byakugan can you exert its power. Because Soft Fist is a physical technique that targets the inside of the human body. Without Byakugan's clairvoyance ability, Soft Fist cannot be used at all.
The reason why the Hyuga clan only practices Rou Fist and not other ninjutsu is because Rou Fist is so strong that it is difficult to exercise the inside of the human body. Even powerful ninjas who are hit by Rou Fist will be fatal.
Therefore, the Hyuga clan does not lack jounin. Like Uchiha, there are many jounin in their clan.
But unlike Uchiha who opens the Kaleidoscope, it is extremely difficult for the Hyuga clan to open the reincarnation eye. No one in the Hyuga clan knows the existence of the reincarnation eye anymore, so there is a lack of top powerhouses.
Twenty years ago, and even now in the five major countries, jounin could be said to be the main fighting force of the village.
But Nagaze knew that times would soon change, and the strength of the Jonin would be nothing in the future.
If the Hyuga clan continues to be self-contained like this, it may be better to rely on Byakugan for sniping in the future.
It is obviously not a wise move to keep the little things you have, or even pass the only thing of some value to the heirs of the clan in the face of great changes.
Therefore, the training plan of the training team also covers some ninjas of the Hyuga clan, including Hyuga Hizashi.
"He's fine. Thank you for your concern." Neji responded quickly and said.
"How are you doing with Soft Boxing?" Nagaze asked.
"It's not bad." Neji said modestly.
"Then go out and call me and see how good Hizashi's son is." Nagaze said with a smile, then said something to Minato and walked out.
Neji hesitated for a moment, and then followed him, as if this man was indeed his father's friend.
Curious Naruto also followed up to watch the excitement.
In the open space, Neji took a deep breath, then took a stance, and immediately directed a burst of fierce output into the air in front of him.
Naruto scratched his head, feeling a little uncomfortable. Although he couldn't say what it was, he just felt powerful.
Nagaze nodded. Neji's soft punch was very smooth, which was not easy at his age.
"It's indeed good. You lived up to your father's expectations." Yongze praised.
"Thank you." Ningci said modestly, but he was also a little happy in his heart. Who doesn't like to be praised, and it also helps his father's face.
"However," Nagaze suddenly changed his voice, "Although the Hyuga clan's soft fist has some skills, it is still too simple, and you are a branch of the clan, so you cannot learn the secret skills of the clan."
Neji remained silent.
Immediately afterwards, Nagaze suddenly kicked out a sharp crescent slash, cutting a large crater into the ground.
The sudden movement made Minato check quickly, and he felt relieved to go back when he saw that it was Nagazawa who took action.
"I have a set of Taijutsu here called Six Postures. What I just performed is the Moon Step, one of the Six Postures. If I give you a chance, would you like to learn it?" Nagaze said with a smile.
The Hyuga clan's broken rules of clan division are really abnormal. There is only one clan in a generation, and even if there are twins, the one born later can only be the clan branch.
Moreover, the lives of the branch families are completely controlled by the Zong family.
Since it was their family's own fault, Nagazawa didn't bother to interfere forcefully. What he chose was to train Neji and let Neji himself change the stagnant Hyuga clan.
Neji looked at the ten-meter-deep pit where Nagaze gently kicked him, and fell into deep thought.
There is no doubt that the strength shown by Nagaze shocked him, and he would be lying if he said he didn't want to learn.
But after all, Nagaze is a stranger whom he has only met once, which makes Neci hesitate. He is a person who can think calmly. It is not certain whether Nagaze is his father's friend or not.
"Oh, it seems you don't want to learn, so forget it." Seeing that Ningci didn't speak for a while, Nagaze sighed pretending to be pity.
Neji opened his mouth, and finally closed it, but his slightly trembling hands proved that he was not peaceful at the moment.
I don’t know if I regret not agreeing just now.
Nagaze smiled and hit Neji three times on the head while looking at him in confusion.
Naruto's eyes lit up when he saw this scene. Isn't this a famous scene from a story Nagazawa once told him?
Naruto said excitedly: "Ningji, Uncle Nagazawa didn't reject you. Knock three times to make you get up in the middle of the night to find him."
Neji looked at Naruto with a question mark on his face, not quite understanding what Naruto said.
With a look of hatred on his face, Naruto quickly told Neji the story of Sun Wukong's apprenticeship.
Ningji was speechless. He had never heard of this story. He looked at Nagaze.
