It's obvious that you were injured by others. If you ask that, it's a bit provocative.

While Sasuke was silent, Neji spoke again.

"I've been thinking about which one is more tragic, having everything and then losing it all, or being born and imprisoned in a fate that you can't resist at all."

Sasuke continued to remain silent, unsure of what Neji was referring to.

"I know your story." Neji said, "Before fighting you, I always felt that you were relatively lucky. Although it was painful, the goal was clearer than anyone else. Although it was difficult, it was still a specific individual who was fighting. "

Sasuke understood half of it, Neji was obviously talking about his bond of hatred with Itachi.

But the other half, compared to this relationship, may be Neji's own fate, which Sasuke has no way of knowing.

"After I went back that day, I kept thinking. How could a person with a clear path suddenly abandon it?

"What confuses me even more is that after abandoning you, you did not become weaker, but became more open-minded."

"Actually," Sasuke was about to say something, but Neji suddenly interrupted him.

"I want to see it."

"What?" Sasuke wondered.

"That monkey."

"monkey?"

"That day you told me that this world is not just about life and death. A monkey said to you, 'There is actually more than one way to accomplish something.'"

Neji spoke a little faster: "I think he can help you do it, and maybe I can too.

"I have been thinking about how to solve my own destiny these days. Compared with the despair before, your words have given me a lot of inspiration. But after thinking about it, I always feel that it is just a little bit close! You don't understand that the power of the Zong family is too great. Too powerful!

"There's more than one way. I want it to tell me! What other way could there be!"

Sasuke remembered that he had just come out of the Forest of Death and was under the influence of the psychic beast Tricky Monkey, and his thoughts began to change for the first time.

But Sasuke didn't understand anything else Neji said.

"Anyway! I want to see it."

"please!"

Neji turned around and bowed solemnly to Sasuke.

"Uh, now?"

Sasuke looked around and saw that no one was paying attention. He looked at Neji who was still bowing and finally made up his mind.

"Ninjutsu: Psychic Technique!"

Bang!

After a burst of smoke, a middle-aged monkey with a bored face was summoned.

It was still wearing the wrinkled old windbreaker, looking like a down-and-out detective.

I saw it looking around, and then lazily said:

“The annoying yellow-haired kid from last time is not there, replaced by a white-eyed kid.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Sasuke didn't know how to answer for a moment, but Neji didn't care about Monkey's appearance at all, but said respectfully: "Student Hyuga Neji, I would like to ask you for advice."

Houjue was stunned for a moment, looking at Neji and then at Sasuke, wondering what this kid was up to this time.

"After you taught me a lesson last time, I went back and thought a lot. I shared your views with this friend. He was very interested and wanted to ask you for advice in person."

At this moment, Sasuke had probably thought of his words and expressed it this way.

"I thought you were going to fight me! Haha."

After hearing Sasuke's words, Houju's eyes flashed with relief and he joked.

Houju, in a good mood, turned his head to look at Neji and said, "You are from the Hyuga clan, right?"

Neji nodded.

Hou Jie stopped talking, staring at Neji's forehead which was covered tightly, and continued after a while:

"Separate?"

Chapter 42 Freedom

Neji nodded again.

He thought to himself that he could tell his identity at a glance. This Mr. Monkey was indeed extraordinary.

Sasuke was at a loss as to what kind of riddle the two of them were playing.

Houju explained:

“In a family, if there are people who take things seriously, there must be people who take care of things.

"You can't let your face be stained by any dust. If you bleed, you have to keep your face. If you can't keep it, and it leaks out, it will be a matter of ruining your sect."

Neji nodded frequently, and Sasuke was even more confused.

Monkey Jue directly said to Sasuke: "Hinata's family, the clan, is face, and the branch where Neji is, is face.

"The former is responsible for pushing cups and changing cups, shining the door. The latter is hiding in the darkness, fighting for every inch with blood on the tip of the knife."

"Then this is too unfair." Sasuke said.

"It's easier to do things secretly than to do things openly. Do you think it's easy to keep that face?" Hou Jie seemed to be answering Sasuke, but his eyes were glancing at Hyuga Neji, as if giving him advice.

Ningci saluted respectfully again, but said stubbornly: "Everyone lives his or her life according to his or her abilities. Taking a step back, what you will achieve in your life is determined by the current situation.

"But my Hyuga family has been divided into different clans since birth, and we still use this curse to seal the 'Caged Bird'. What's the difference between this and slaves!"

When Neji got excited, he took off his forehead protector and bandage, revealing the ugly cyan mark.

At this time, Houjie's heart was no longer peaceful.

For most of his life, he has been devoted to shady intelligence work. He has been deceitful and scheming all his life.

But as Neji said, times dictate.

"Is this the caged bird?"

Monkey Jue murmured to himself.

I have heard about this mark for a long time.

"It is said that the clan can control and destroy the brain nerves of branch family members through this curse seal, thereby controlling the branch family.

"This curse seal can also seal the White Eye's ability, and can completely destroy the subject's eyeballs and brain after the subject's eyes are removed or dies."

Neji nodded and silently took the forehead protector back.

Now, Houjie has seen this mark with his own eyes for the first time.

Even though he was well-informed, he felt a bit pitiful at this moment.

On the other side, Sasuke clenched his fists. He didn't expect such bad things to happen in the village, and a strong anger and sympathy arose from the bottom of his heart.

"Sasuke told me that you once said to him, 'There is more than one way to accomplish something.' I want to know, besides killing all the clan members, is there any other way for me to save myself?"

In fact, Neji knew in his heart that under the control of the caged bird, killing all the clan members was just his own whim.

This is also the fundamental reason why I felt deep despair in the previous ten years of my life.

At this moment, Neji stared at the cunning monkey with longing eyes, trying to find the direction and meaning of his life under the guidance of this gentleman.

"Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade." Houjue thought for a while and replied, "Become a Hokage, or become a person who achieves Hokage."

"Becoming Hokage" is the strategic direction.

And "becoming a person who achieves Hokage" is a more feasible way of practice.

After all, as a member of Neji's family, he would soon be controlled and used by the clan on his way to becoming Hokage.

Neji was already smart, and upon hearing this, his eyes lit up and he was ecstatic.

He stood up, walked to Houjue, and bowed deeply: "Thank you, sir, for your kindness."

Houjue said in a deep voice: "But even if you succeed, your whole life will still be a job, so what's the difference?"

Neji's eyes flashed and he replied: "It's different. At least, the descendants of the separated family will no longer suffer this tragic fate."

"Moreover, this is the path I chose. This is the difference between humans and tools!"

In a trance, Sasuke and Hou Jie seemed to see the bird in the cage break free from its confinement for the first time, and the light of freedom was flashing on every feather!

In the past month, Neji has thought over and over again about the people and things around him, but there is always a core program that can connect everything.

He also thought about using external forces, but considering his own situation, he rejected this path. Finally, I returned to the familiar train of thought.

Now, with the help of Houji, Ningci understood everything, and his whole heart was extremely clear at this moment.

If you want to become the Hand of Hokage, the first key question is of course to choose the person who is worthy of support.

Judging from the batch of successors, the age groups who may become the successors of Hokage are in order: the generation of clan leaders such as Hinata and Hizu, the next generation of elite jounin such as Kakashi, and their own peers are the next generation.

In terms of time and possibility, the Fifth Hokage is the first to be ruled out.

On the Sixth Hokage, his teacher Metkai obviously did not have any competitiveness.

If you want to surrender to someone else, firstly, it is too obvious and can easily arouse the clan's vigilance. Secondly, it is also difficult to choose between Asuma and Kakashi.

Then, turning his attention back to his peers, Uchiha Sasuke, who had defeated him before, was undoubtedly the best candidate.

Comprehensive consideration from multiple dimensions such as mentality, strength, brains, and image, Sasuke has an obvious competitive advantage compared to others.

As for legal theory, I have recently read a lot of history books about Konoha Hidden Village.

As one of the two major families that founded the village, the Uchiha family has declined, but it is also a huge political asset.

However, Sasuke's flaws are also very obvious

After quickly going over it in his mind, Hinata Neji asked: "What are your plans after killing Uchiha Itachi?"

After hearing this, Houjue's heart moved and he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
