Hyuga Neji was no fool who couldn't tell right from wrong.
At this moment, he understood that Hyuga Yunchuan was trying to knock some sense into him.
"Brother Yunchuan, please, tell me."
Hyuga Neji's voice was hoarse, but his tone remained calm. "What should I do?"
Hyuga Yunchuan did not answer his question. Instead, he raised his head and looked into the distance as he slowly said, "When we were handing over the bodies to Kumogakure, we encountered a monster."
"He was truly powerful. Terrifyingly powerful."
"He effortlessly killed Toroi of Magnet Release and slaughtered nearly a hundred Kumogakure shinobi."
"Even the Byakugan could not see his face. All we could see were those brilliant, gorgeous blue eyes..."
At those words, Hyuga Neji froze. The figure from his dream suddenly surfaced in his mind, and he blurted out, "What did you say?"
Brilliant, gorgeous blue eyes?
How could that be? Wasn't it just an illusory dream?
"When you have time, go take a look at the Clan Ancestral Library."
Hyuga Yunchuan lowered his brows and gazed deeply at him. "I247.5, L632. Go read that book. You'll understand many things."
Hyuga Neji lay on the ground, blankly looking up at his figure. But when Hyuga Yunchuan lowered his eyes and their gazes met, those pale eyes seemed to take on the color of Celestial Radiance.
Hyuga Neji saw blue rising within those eyes, like snow covering a clear lake melting beneath the sun.
But when he focused and looked closely, he found that those eyes were still pure white, nearly the color of snow, as though it had all been an illusion.
"Remember." Hyuga Yunchuan spoke softly, his tone meaningful. "Those who cannot command themselves will be commanded by others."
As soon as the words fell, his figure vanished from before
