As they walked down the street, Neji turned to Sasuke and asked, "Did you see Itachi Uchiha?"
Neji did not know much about the specifics of this mission.
So he asked curiously.
Because of Sasuke and Neji's relationship, Neji knew the truth about what had happened to the Uchiha Clan back then.
He knew that Itachi Uchiha had slaughtered his own clan because Danzo had forced him to.
But Itachi had indeed carried it out himself, so Neji knew Sasuke had always been conflicted, unsure how to face Itachi Uchiha.
Sasuke had never sought revenge against Itachi Uchiha, not only because it was not yet time to make a move against him, but also because Sasuke did not know how to deal with his own brother.
Hinata, walking beside Neji, also looked at Sasuke.
Back at the Ninja Academy, Sasuke had been a star student, just like his brother.

Walking beside Neji gave Hinata a profound sense of security.

That problem had now been resolved.
Their relationship had returned to how it had been when they first met.
Neji took excellent care of Hinata, truly treating her as his younger sister.
