Chapter 205 Hyuga Neji
While the entire Sand Village was preparing for war and sharpening its swords for the Land of Lightning, Naruto remained at his loyal Root base, diligently carrying out his work.

In Naruto's private office, crystal chandeliers add a touch of brightness.

At his desk, Naruto was busy reviewing the final documents, while Karin, dressed in a uniform, waited beside him, holding out documents for him to stamp.

bang~
After stamping the last document with a specially customized chibi-style Nine-Tails seal, Naruto looked at the 'alluring' Karin.

"Haven't Shigaraki Tanuki and Ryoma returned yet?"

No, there is no news yet.

"tsk"

Two more days have passed, and the antique turtle is still nowhere to be found?
Naruto pondered for a moment and then realized that this was quite normal. After all, it was such a small thing, and the ocean was so vast. Who knew where it was on the seabed?

The difficulty of it is an exaggeration to describe it as "finding a needle in a haystack," but it is close enough; it is almost as difficult as "finding a turtle in a haystack."

"Then we'll have to wait a while."

Naruto breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly noticed Karin leaning closer to him, seemingly unintentionally, and was speechless.

I don't know who this girl learned it from, but she always comes up to him so blatantly, or she's secretly smelling his scent.

Such a young age and already learning bad habits!
That seems a bit too perverted!

Men, no, boys, you need to protect yourselves when you're out!

"Cough cough!"

Naruto coughed twice to warn her, interrupting Karin who was leaning closer, and bringing her back to her senses for a moment.

At that moment, Naruto suddenly remembered something and took a stick out of his backpack.

cough cough.

A proper Korean.

This is the 'Chakra' light stick that Naruto used when he fought Kisame. Its official code name is "'Cuckoo'-shaped Shining Giant Chakra Stick Type 1!"

"Here you go!" Naruto handed the stick to Karin.

Karin curiously took it. "What is this?"

"Weapons, report this thing to the village and explain that we need to purchase 50 of these weapons, each costing 300 million taels of silver. Ask the village for funding."

"300 taels?"

Karin exclaimed in surprise, her eyes fixed on the light stick in her hand.

Is this thing worth 300 million taels?

"Naruto-kun,"

Karin's expression was tactful. "I'm afraid Lady Tsunade won't approve this purchase, will she?"

"fine!"

Naruto smiled nonchalantly, "Just state in your report that it's a chakra sword. The Anbu will test it; they know its value."

Although these machines are ridiculously expensive, they are absolutely worth it from a technical and practical standpoint!
after all.

He, Naruto Uzumaki, is not some guy who sells a bag of screws for ninety thousand dollars, nor is he a real Commissioner Smith!
The value of this stick, just the material cost alone, is at least over 30 yuan!
"Moreover, I had previously signed an agreement with the Third Generation that the Root would receive 15 billion ryo in unconditional funding every year."

I'm still figuring out how to squander this money! Cough cough cough, it doesn't matter, just report it.

Realizing he had let something slip, Naruto immediately changed the subject.

Upon hearing this, Karin smiled shyly and said in a sweet voice.

"Yes, Naruto-kun!"

Karin Uzumaki doesn't care at all whether Naruto makes money or not; all she has in her eyes is Naruto-kun!
Remembering something, Naruto added, "Oh right, you should try to negotiate the price with them again."

Karin's eyes lit up. "Is it because it's too expensive?"

"No, that's too cheap. Let's see if we can bargain it down to 500 million!"

Karin: -_-||
"Oh, and we also need to buy a new batch of computers! Root organization must be at the forefront of information technology and paperless office practices!" "After all," Naruto's voice suddenly deepened, "Root organization wants to contribute to global environmental protection."

What is environmental protection?
Karin didn't understand at all, but she still nodded, "Yes, Naruto-kun!"

Seeing that his tasks for the day were complete, Naruto glanced at his watch with a bored expression and exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? It's already 6:03?"

I actually worked overtime for a full three minutes today?

He's incredibly diligent!
He stood up abruptly, preparing to leave. Before leaving, he turned to Karin and said, "I have to go home now. Don't forget to pay me my overtime pay for today."

Karin smiled helplessly as she watched Naruto hurriedly leave.

'Naruto-kun is cute today too!'

Naruto still needs to clock out after get off work. This is an attendance system he specifically imitated from his previous life. Of course, this attendance system currently only applies to him.

He! Naruto Uzumaki! A Konoha civil servant!

After checking in, Naruto had just stepped out of the Root headquarters when he unexpectedly encountered an acquaintance.

Uncle?
Ahem, no, it's Hyuga Neji!
"Neji?" Naruto walked over, puzzled.

The Root base is located in a remote and secluded place, with no one around and not even a training ground. Neji couldn't have just been passing by.

Therefore, Naruto concluded that this person must have come to find him.

"Naruto."

Neji's face lit up with joy and his eyes filled with anticipation when he saw Naruto emerge.

But when Naruto walked up to him, he suddenly hesitated and didn't even dare to meet Naruto's eyes.

"What's wrong?" Naruto asked curiously.

"That. That"

Neji was speechless for a moment. He hesitated when he needed to directly expose the scars he hated so much.

Naruto just stared at him.

My brother-in-law, who is usually cheerful and outgoing, was unusually timid today.

Naruto noticed him covering his forehead with his hand, and he immediately understood and remembered.

During the Chunin Exams in the Forest of Death, Naruto had a general idea of ​​what Neji possessed, which is why he acted that way.

They constantly complain about their fate, lament their bad luck, and say things like "the worst of the worst."

Naruto was unaware of the details beforehand, only knowing that Neji harbored 'hatred' towards Hinata.

Later, Naruto learned the inside story through Danzo Shimura's memories: a darkness that existed within the Hyuga clan and had lasted for hundreds of years.

Naruto originally intended to let the sun's brilliance shine upon the ninja world, but he discovered that in the Land of Fire, in Konoha, right beside him, there was a dark place called the Hyuga clan.

Although the relationship between the current Hyuga clan leader, who will also be his future father-in-law, and his younger brother is admirable, this does not change the fact that...

Hyuga, branch family and main family, master and slave.

Is this good?
This is not good!
So Naruto decided to do something.

Although Naruto cannot directly demand reforms from the entire Hyuga clan due to his position and status, he can start by doing things around him.

So, a few days ago when Naruto was teaching Neji Gentle Fist, Naruto offered to help Neji change or even remove the seal on his body.

Neji said he would think about it.

Naruto also put the matter out of his mind.

These past few days, Naruto has been so busy with Root reconstruction that he almost forgot about this matter.

That's why we're seeing this scene.

With this thought in mind, Naruto met his gaze with sincere eyes and smiled gently, "Come with me."
