Neji's eyes flickered, as if he was hesitating about something.
Upon seeing this, Shinji did not make a sound to urge him, but waited quietly.
After a long time, Ningci said slowly: "I did find some clues about the moon in the Zong family mansion, but before we cooperate, I hope you can answer a few questions for me!"
Shinji said calmly: "Please speak."
"First question, what exactly does your Akatsuki organization want to do?"
As soon as Neji finished asking, his eyes stared at Shinji, as if he wanted to see Shinji's true expression under the mask through the mask.
However, this is the 'direct adjacent' space, and he is just a spiritual body linked here, so he cannot use his Byakugan at all.
After listening to Neji's question, Shinji knew that it was the actions of the Akatsuki organization that aroused Neji's disgust, so he explained: "The existence of the Akatsuki organization has only one purpose, and that is to protect the ninja world!"
"Protect the ninja world!?"
Neji's face darkened.
Obviously, Shinji's answer could not convince him.
Shinji said: "No matter what you think, protecting the ninja world is the purpose of the Akatsuki organization!"
Neji questioned: "Releasing the sealed monsters, attacking the ninjas of the five major ninja villages, and abducting Sasuke to defect. Do you call these actions protecting the ninja world?"
Shinji suddenly laughed.
Neji made a serious face: "Why are you laughing?"
Shinji said: "I think you should clarify another question first! That is who is the real Akatsuki organization!"
Neji was a little confused: "What do you mean?"
Shinji said slowly: "The actions you mentioned before about releasing monsters, attacking ninjas from the five major ninja villages, etc. were not really done by the Akatsuki organization. Those people are traitors to the organization! They have fallen!"
Ningci's expression froze and he murmured: "That's it!"
He had been puzzled by some of the contradictory behaviors of the Akatsuki organization before. For example, in the Demon Country, the Akatsuki organization had serious internal strife among its members.
Now when he heard what Shinji said, he suddenly realized that there was indeed a split within the Akatsuki organization.
"There are only a few members left who truly adhere to the philosophy of the Akatsuki organization!"
Shinji sighed as he spoke.
Listening to Shinji's narration, Neji began to think about it.
The previous events flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, and then he thought to himself: "Due to different philosophies, the Akatsuki organization was split into two. There are only three members left who insist on the concept of protecting the ninja world, and
In order to distinguish themselves from other fallen ones, they put on masks and hoods! So that's it, no wonder these three members of the Akatsuki organization always conflict with other members of the Akatsuki organization! I understand, I understand everything!
"
In an instant, Neji's mood improved a lot, and his psychological pressure was much less.
If Neji cooperates with an evil organization for revenge, it's not that he cannot accept it, but it will make him fall into guilt and confusion, and it will make him have self-doubt.
But now that it is confirmed that the Akatsuki organization is a just organization, and the evil ones are just some of the fallen members of the Akatsuki organization, then he will not have any psychological burden when cooperating with the Akatsuki organization.
As for why he would easily believe Shinji's words.
In addition to the fact that he wanted to find a reason for himself so that he did not have to bear such a huge psychological burden, the more important point was that he had indeed witnessed several fierce battles between Shinji, who appeared as an Akatsuki organization, and other members of the Akatsuki organization.
.
In his eyes, this cannot be faked.
Especially when he was in the Kingdom of Demons, the shocking battle between Shinji and the Demons directly overturned his understanding of ninja combat, so he believed that there was indeed a serious split within the Akatsuki organization.
Since the monster demons, Shennong who abducted Sasuke, and Uchiha Itachi who massacred the entire Uchiha clan are heinous villains, Shinji, who has repeatedly obstructed their actions, is naturally the righteous party.
Seeing that the hostility on Neji gradually dissipated, Shinji said, "Do you have any other questions?"
Neji shook his head: "No! As long as you don't harm the village or my companions, I am willing to cooperate with you!"
Shinji said: "Then tell me about the clues you found!"
Neji organized his thoughts, then sneaked him into the Zong family's mansion, and found a mysterious scroll in a secret compartment, and told him from beginning to end.
"What's written in that scroll?"
Neji replied: "There is a map and a mysterious technique in the scroll. In addition, there is a secret message!"
"Map. Technique"
Shinji frowned slightly.
Neji nodded: "Yes, after I went back, I compared the maps of various countries and found that the map on the scroll is located within the Kingdom of the Moon."
"The Kingdom of the Moon?"
Shinji tapped his fingers on the stone table while recalling the memory of the moon in his mind.
He vaguely remembered that in the original time and space, when Naruto and others were chasing the reincarnation puppet that had kidnapped Hanabi, they had indeed gone all the way north and chased them to an area of ice and snow.
And the Kingdom of the Moon happens to be on the edge of the Kingdom of Thunder, also in the north, so the secret illusion passage between the moon and the earth may really be hidden in the Kingdom of the Moon.
After thinking this, Shinji said to Neji: "I will give you two choices now. The first one is that we go to the Moon Kingdom together and find the way to the moon together. The second one is that you give me the scroll and I will be alone.
Go to the Moon Country and tell you after I find the clues."
Faced with the choice given by Shinji, Neji said without hesitation: "I choose the first one! I want to go with you!"
Shinji smiled and said, "Can you leave Konoha Village?"
Neji quickly said: "Now that the ninja school is on vacation, I can apply to leave the village in the name of going out for training. There should be no problem."
Shinji nodded: "Okay, get ready, we'll set off in two days!"
Neji is a member of the branch who was engraved with the "Caged Bird". His Byakugan is restricted by the "Caged Bird" and is also protected by the "Caged Bird". He does not have to worry about being watched and forcibly taking away the Byakugan.
Therefore, if he applies for out-of-village experience through formal channels, he will most likely be able to get a pass.
Two days later.
As expected, Neji successfully obtained the pass, put on his backpack, and left Konoha Village openly through the gate.
In a small forest about twenty miles away from the village, Neji stopped.
Swish.
At this time, a figure fell from the sky and landed in front of Neji.
There is no doubt that the figure that suddenly appeared was Shinji dressed in Akatsuki organization clothes.
Considering that Neji has the Byakugan, Shinji not only wore a mask, but also used the 'transformation technique', so he didn't have to worry about his identity being revealed by Neji's Byakugan.
"Hello!"
Neji saluted Shinji.
Shinji stretched out his hand: "Where is the scroll?"
Neji took out the scroll from his backpack and handed it to Shinji.
After opening the scroll and taking a look, Shinji nodded slightly.
The content in the scroll is exactly what Neji said before, consisting of three parts: map, technique, and secret language.
The part about the technique caught Shinji's attention.
This technique is very complex and cumbersome. You can tell at a glance that it is not ordinary. Moreover, in the center of the technique, there is an obvious emblem of the Otsutsuki clan.
"What is the function of this technique? Is it used for communication, or does it have some other function?"
Unable to figure it out for a moment, Shinji closed the scroll and set off with Neji.
Because the conflict between the Akatsuki organization and the five major ninja villages is intensifying now, Shinji, who is wearing the red cloud uniform of the Akatsuki organization, is very careful this time and does not show off like before. Instead, he and Neji try to take small roads and avoid densely populated towns.
In this way, the two of them traveled day and night, and arrived in the Kingdom of the Moon in only five days.
This night.
The two people sitting in front of the campfire were eating food and discussing the map location on the scroll.
Neji said: "There seems to be a lake in the center of the map."
Shinji nodded: "There are many lakes in the Kingdom of the Moon, but there are only two or three lakes surrounded by forests like the scroll map, so they are easy to find."
Neci asked humbly: "After finding the location on the scroll map, what should we do next?"
Shinji pondered for a moment and said: "If I guess correctly, the location marked on the scroll map is not a direct passage to the moon."
"Ah?!" After being stunned for a moment, Neji asked: "Then what is the place marked on the scroll map?"
Shinji guessed: "It should be a place similar to a meeting!"
Neji was not stupid, he quickly reacted: "You mean, the place marked on the scroll map is the secret meeting place between our Hyuga clan and the mysterious clan on the moon. And that technique... is to
The other party sent a message requesting a meeting?"
Shinji nodded lightly while looking at the scroll: "Well, I think so."
"If that's the case." After a pause, Neji frowned: "Then things will be a little troublesome!"
This is obvious.
The only person who can maintain contact with the Otsutsuki clan on the moon is the clan of the Hyuga clan, or even the head of the Hyuga clan.
Neji was just a member of a branch family, and he still had the "Caged Bird" curse mark on his forehead. If he carved a contact spell at the meeting place, once the other party sent someone to meet him, they would be able to see through his identity immediately.
No one can predict how things will develop by then.
Shinji said: "That's why we can't meet each other!"
"what do you mean?"
Neji looked confused.
Shinji told his plan: "After we find the meeting place, we carve the contact spell and leave immediately. Then we monitor from a distance. When the Otsutsuki clan on the moon sends someone, we will follow each other and find the secret to the moon.
aisle!"
"Okay, just do it!"
Neji thought for a while and felt that this was the only way.
Early the next morning, after the two agreed on the meeting place, they started to separate and compare the lakes in the Kingdom of the Moon one by one.
Just as Shinji had expected, since the map on the scroll had been clearly marked, it only took them one day to lock the target lake and follow the clues on the scroll map to find the place marked on the scroll map.
A cliff.
swish
Following two blasts of wind, Shinji and Neji landed on the cliff in the night, and then they split up and looked around.
After a while, the two came together.
Neji said to Shinji: "I checked it with my Byakugan. This cliff is very ordinary. There is no mechanism at all!"
Shinji paced and came to the cliff.
Neci followed up in small steps: "Did you find anything?"
Shinji pointed to a partially hollowed-out rock on the edge of the cliff and said, "Try to look up from this direction!"
Neji immediately looked over and found that looking up from the hollow part of the rock, he could see the bright full moon in the night above his head.
He exclaimed: "It's the moon!"
"It seems that this should be the meeting place." As he said that, Shinji stood on the edge of the cliff and looked into the distance again, and found that at the end of his field of vision was the lake surrounded by forests.
Neji looked at Shinji: "Then shall we carve the contact spell now?"
Shinji thought about it for a moment and said, "Let's carve it!"
Neji no longer hesitated and immediately followed the scroll's instructions and carved the complex and obscure technique in the scroll into the cliff.
After completing the technique, he followed the instructions of the scroll, pouring his Byakugan chakra into the technique, and recited the secret message on the scroll in his mouth.
In an instant.
Shinji on the side felt palpitations in his heart, as if he was being watched by something.
He immediately thought of the giant reincarnated eye on the moon, so he quickly shouted to Neji: "Let's go!"
Neji was startled and immediately followed Shinji and jumped off the cliff.
After running for more than ten miles, Shinji stopped on a cliff with a good view.
Neji hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"
Shinji asked back: "You didn't feel anything just now?"
Neji shook his head in confusion: "Did something happen just now? I didn't feel anything?"
Shinji felt a shiver in his heart and said to himself: "It is indeed a giant reincarnation eye!"
The feeling of that moment was still fresh in his memory until this moment.
It felt like being watched by something, as if everything about me had lost its cover in front of that force, as if I were naked, which made my scalp numb.
"If I had reacted slower, I might have been locked by that giant reincarnation eye by now!"
After escaping for more than ten miles, the feeling like a light on his back disappeared, which also made Shinji realize that he had escaped the gaze of the giant reincarnated eye.
In other words, the giant reincarnation didn't pay much attention to him.
After all, no one in the Otsutsuki clan on the moon has a real reincarnation, so the Otsutsuki clan can only indirectly control the giant reincarnation through blood and magic!
And he originally thought that Neji, who had the Byakugan, would be able to notice it, but he never expected that Neji would not be able to notice the gaze of the giant reincarnated eye at all.
