Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hyuga
Meanwhile, all members Chunin the Uchiha Clan above the rank of Chunin were mobilized, and a thousand-strong Uchiha squad had arrived at the position assigned by Tianqi, ready to be deployed at any time.
When the main force of the Land of Fire reached the border of the Land of Fire, Uchiha Ye quietly approached Tianqi and whispered, "Sir, the clan's troops have arrived at the location you designated!"
"Okay, I understand. Tell the Clan Head and the others to stay put and not to act without my orders!"
"Yes!"
After learning that his clan had reached the designated location, Tianqi discovered that Karura had disappeared. After searching around, he finally found Karura at the very front of the main force. At that moment, Karura was actually working alongside the vanguard, clearing the way, and even with the Hyuga Clan members.
Tianqi understood this, since Hyuga was a descendant of Karura, and it was normal for her to like being with the Hyuga Clan. However, what surprised Tianqi was that Karura was with Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hyuga, which was quite interesting.
"Karura, do you think we can win this war?" Hinata Hyuga asked calmly.
"Hinata! This isn't a question of whether you can win, but how long it will take. With such a powerful opponent, winning is only a matter of time. I believe that after this war, you will undergo a complete transformation!" Looking at this insecure girl Karura felt worried for her.
Hinata is a good girl in every way, except she's always been very insecure. I've told her many times, but she hasn't changed. This insecurity only holds her back. I can only hope that this war will help her gain confidence.
"Yes, I definitely will!" Hinata said firmly, but her head was lowered.
Karura was at a loss for what to do with Hinata. She turned to look at the boy beside her and nodded in satisfaction. It has to be said that compared to Hinata, Neji was a perfect boy. She even saw the shadow of her brother Mandala in Neji.
"Karura, what are you doing here!" Tianqi approached with a smile.
"I love being with these children!" Karura was deeply moved as he looked at the two most outstanding descendants of these two people.
"Tianqi!!" Hinata and Neji greeted the veteran Uchiha Tianqi as he arrived.
"Okay!" Tianqi looked at the two young men Byakugan at him. He didn't have any particular thoughts about them. He used to look down on the Hyuga Clan, but ever since he learned that they were his and Karura's descendants Tianqi no longer looked down on them.
"Tianqi and the others are still just a group of children, suddenly facing this kind of war... Please help them!"
Faced with Karura's request, Tianqi glanced at the Byakugan siblings and smiled. He said calmly, "Karura, you underestimate them. Perhaps in your eyes they are just children, but don't forget they are ninjas, and Jonin with Dōjutsu!"
"Too insignificant. A mere Jonin is nothing. Jonin's strength is not even enough to protect themselves against some powerful people. Without reaching the Kage Level, one is still just an ant!" Karura shook his head and said calmly.
Hearing this, Neji and Hinata were at a loss for words. To others, Jonin might be the goal they strive for their entire lives, but in this person's eyes, they were nothing more than ants. However, they dared not refute it.
They would never forget the unparalleled power that Garuda possessed a few years ago when she stormed into the Hyuga Clan Compound and single-handedly wiped out the entire Hyuga Clan. However, Karura was a very good person. Although she single-handedly defeated the Hyuga Clan, she had no hostility towards them. On the contrary, she always spoke up for the Hyuga Clan and would occasionally teach the Hyuga Clan members. She was a very good person.
It was precisely because of Karura's favoritism towards the Hyuga Clan that Hyuga Hiashi treated her as an honored guest in order to cling to Karura's coattails.
After hearing Karura's words, Tianqi, who was about to say something, gave up. He looked at Hinata Hyuga and said calmly, "You are Hiashi's eldest daughter, aren't you?"
"Yes, Tianqi!" Hinata nodded in reply.
"You may be a bit gentle, but I believe you're not as weak as you seem. When it comes to the people you love, I believe you're more aware and courageous than anyone else. If you're a little more confident and work a little harder, reaching the Kage Level in the future won't be a problem!" After saying that, Tianqi slowly placed his hand on her head and transferred a small portion of his power to her.
"This is..." Hinata's eyes widened as she felt the continuous power flowing through her body. She, who was originally only Special Jonin, was instantly promoted to an Elite Jonin.
"Although I could directly elevate you to Kage Level, what comes through others isn't truly mine. I've hidden my power within you, and as long as you don't waste it, this power will be enough to support you all the way to the peak of Kage Level!"
"Thank you!" Hinata looked at Tianqi with gratitude. Her talent was limited, even less than that of her younger sister Hanabi. She had always lacked confidence in pursuing Naruto, but now, with this power, she could finally go after Naruto.
After patting Hinata's head, Tianqi looked at Neji, but before Tianqi could speak, Neji said first, "I don't need it. I prefer to improve my strength through my own efforts!"
"Neji Hyuga, son of Hyuga Hiashi, the younger brother of Hizashi Hyuga Clan Head, although you were born into the branch family, I am very happy to see that you have overcome the difficulties of the branch family!" Unlike how she viewed Hinata, she had different expectations for Neji, this descendant of the Tianqi.
"You know about me?" Neji somewhat surprised to hear this senior not only reveal his identity but also talk about his past problems.
"Whether it's you or Hinata, I've never stopped paying attention to you, after all, we have a special relationship!"
"Special relationship? I don't remember having any special relationship with you or us?" Neji said, looking puzzled.
"That's not important. What's important is, Neji Hyuga, what do you think it takes for a person to see further?"
"What else can we rely on but our eyes!"
"No, no, no, what the eyes can see is limited, just like this war. You cannot see the dawn of victory, but I have already foreseen the course of this war. Do you know why I know?"
"Why?"
"Ordinary ninjas are confused and uncertain about the road ahead, but someone like me, standing at the pinnacle of the Shinobi World, has never cared about its affairs, because I have the ability to change everything. You said that seeing further depends on your eyes, right? Let me tell you, to see further and go further, you need great power. Do you think you have that power to go further?"
Hearing Uchiha Tianqi's incredibly arrogant words, Neji frowned slightly. "Talking like that, isn't this just bragging? He really thinks he's an omnipotent god? I think he's just an old lunatic."
"I don't know about other things, but as for how far I can see, although I'm not as good as you, I believe my path will definitely be longer than yours!" Although Uchiha Tianqi looks young, the fact that he is already quite old cannot be changed. The major clans all know his situation. Compared to this old man pretending to be young Neji is certain that he will definitely live longer and go further than this old man.
Perhaps sensing Neji's thoughts, Tianqi chuckled and said calmly, "Don't be so confident. In the Shinobi World human life is cheap, no one dares to say how long they can last except for me. And I doubt you can outlast this old man!"
"Huh? Tianqi, what do you mean by this? Could it be that Neji...?" Upon hearing Tianqi's words, Karura immediately became excited.
"My eyes can see things that others can't. I saw death energy on Neji, the kind of death energy that soars to the sky!" Tianqi said like a charlatan.
"A death aura? You mean Neji...? How could that be!" Upon hearing Tianqi say that the aura of death had already enveloped Neji, Karura frowned.
Tianqi would never speak such things lightly, meaning that Neji would die in the upcoming war.
