After leaving that laboratory.
Shōji checked the time and went again to the living area where Neji Hyuga was arranged. Although he was a precocious little guy, he was only 4 years old after all. The first time he left the village where he lived was to directly cross a country and come to the very distant Land of Earth. At that time, Uchiha Clan At the time of the overall migration of, there were still quite a few tribesmen in Iwagakure, including the adults, who felt uneasy and anxious, not to mention that Neji Hyuga was now alone. This was caused by Shōji himself, and he must fulfill a certain degree of obligation.
What's more, among Original Work Konoha 12, Neji is really one of the few people Shōji has a good impression of. This is a serious, hard-working and determined young man. As mentioned before, if Hyuga Clan must have such a one-in-10,000 probability of opening Tenseigan, this one-in-10,000 probability must also apply to Neji Hyuga.
At least Neji Hyuga is the only candidate in Shōji's mind who can break the embarrassing situation where Hyuga Clan almost never emerges as a strong Kage Level. One thing to note here is that Hyuga Clan just means paying attention to Gentle Fist techniques that match Byakugan. It doesn't mean that you only know Taijutsu. Ninjutsu and illusions are also involved, but people think these are rubbish!
In this life, Shōji plans to let Neji enter Ninja Academy next year to learn all basic knowledge. He does not need to wait too long, that is, let him graduate early in two or three years. Allowing himself to personally guide Neji does not mean that Shōji is arrogant. He believes that with his own guidance, Neji will not grow worse than Original Work at worst!
There is a high probability that it can break through the limit of Kage Level level!
To become one of his most solid and reliable subordinates, Shōji will even fight for the possibility of Tenseigan for Neji. This is not only Shōji's own emotional choice, but also his rational judgment!
Your own strength is important, but it is also very important to have some companions who can help you, even walk side by side, or to train some loyal subordinates. Even if you get Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, it is close at hand, but such a strength is still not enough for Shōji to fully suppress Shinobi World and defeat all your enemies.
On this basis, helpers are particularly important.
Itachi, Deidara, Kurotsuchi, Yakushi Kabuto, Neji, Karin, Sasuke are all people who Shōji believes have extremely high cultivation value, and at their young age, they are the most suitable to moisturize things and quietly get involved in his thoughts and habits.
Again, Shōji is not a saint, but a mortal with selfish intentions. In order to achieve his goals, Shōji will still make every effort. It just means that in this process, compared to some people, Shōji will be more humane and will stick to his own bottom line. This is also a kind of restraint that Shōji has set for himself!
This is not only true for today's Neji, but also for the previous Nonō, Kabuto's mother and son, Reina, Karin's mother and daughter. Shōji has always felt that once humans choose to give up some of their restraints, they will become something more terrifying than demons!
That is the future that Shōji does not want to see. You can accuse Shōji of being hypocritical, but this is Shōji's belief, and it is Shōji's way of tolerance.
In fact, it proves that Shōji's concern is very reasonable. Although he did not say it outright, Shōji can feel the subtle emotional changes in the depths of Neji's pupils when he sees him again, which proves that this little boy's turbulent heart is not as calm as it seems on the surface!
Although Uzumaki Reina did agree to Shōji's request, last night he went to visit Neji in a nearby house as soon as possible. Even yesterday's dinner, today's breakfast, and lunch were all packed and delivered by Reina!
But it was clear that they had only just met, and Neji still felt a faint sense of resistance when facing Reina. Even though he knew very well that this young intellectual woman came with good intentions, some emotional fluctuations could not be easily controlled by humans.
Only when Neji saw Shōji, he felt a sense of security that he should have. It may be because of those words before that made Neji place all his hopes in life. The little hand that was placed on Shōji may not be intuitive to Shōji, but for Neji, it is a fateful decision in his life!
"This is destined to be an extremely strange place for you, but you still need to learn to blend in. Although I did say that I can provide you with all the help I can, in the end whether you can achieve your own goals still depends on your own efforts. Neji, let me see your value! That is the capital that you can really gain a foothold on this Shinobi World, and I believe you can do it!"
Before Shōji was about to leave, he came to Neji, leaned over and said these words in a very serious tone.
Neji also faced Shōji's bright pupils, his face tightened and he nodded heavily in response Responded: "Yes, Lord Shōji!"
Even though the future seems to be very difficult and dangerous, Neji's young heart is as firm as a rock. It may seem very mysterious to say this. Neji indeed gained a courage from Shōji, an important courage to choose to fight against fate!
This is why Neji, who is only 4 years old, dared to reach out to Shōji and agree to follow Shōji when he met Shōji for the first time. Of course, this can be regarded as the biggest gamble of Neji's life!
But there is no doubt that Neji will never regret his choice, because only by choosing to leave Konoha and come to Iwagakure can he have hope for revenge and the possibility of regaining his father's body (Shōji also clearly told Neji before, Kumogakure will definitely use Hizashi's body as research material, and will not destroy it easily. This will not only give Neji a goal to work hard for, but also further stimulate the raging fire of revenge deep in Neji's heart!)
"Well, then I'm looking forward to your performance! This year is about to enter the second half of the year. You will be five years old next year. I will arrange for you to enroll in school, work hard, and then graduate from the Ninja Academy early. I will personally guide you then!"
Encouragement is one thing, but it is also necessary to give the little guy a clear goal and direction for his efforts. The last words Shōji said undoubtedly made Neji's eyes light up. As a person born in the Hyuga Clan, he naturally knows what the name Shōji means in today's Shinobi World. There is not much to say, but this is what Shōji means in Shinobi World. In the face-to-face battle, Kazekage defeated Kazekage in a one-on-one duel. Although Neji personally invited him before, Neji had somewhat expected it. But when Shōji personally said that he would train him, Neji could not hide his excitement. In this way, he could be closer to the goal of revenge!
"Yes!"
Neji also clenched his little hands slightly harder on both sides, and secretly made up his mind to practice harder and harder to meet Shōji's requirements as soon as possible.
"Yes, but we must strictly prohibit excessive cultivation. When you are still growing, don't let the small lose the big. The body is the foundation of everything!"
Shōji warned solemnly, then turned to look at Uzumaki Reina who had just arrived on the other side and said, "Reina-san, I'll leave this child to you, he's only 4 years old., I have to trouble you to take care of a lot of things, Neji, you must also remember that in matters of life, you must listen to Reina Sang, otherwise, all my previous promises will be invalid, do you understand?"
I would like to give another little 'warning' to the little boy in front of me. The fire of revenge can indeed make people move forward, but it is also easy for people to lose themselves. Shōji does not want to see Neji destroy himself!
The younger you are, the more you need to pay attention to this.
"Yes!"
Neji also shrank his head and responded in a low voice. Although these were words of rebuke and warning, for some reason, at this moment, Neji felt warm in his heart. When he looked at Shōji, his very familiar figure from the past even vaguely appeared, making Neji's eyes slightly moist.
"Well, don't worry, Lord Shōji, leave this child to me. He can also be with Karin!"
Uzumaki Reina nodded gently with a touch of softness and said warmly.
"Na na na, Lord Shōji, Lord Shōji, then Karin, can I also let Lord Shōji guide me in the future?"
Little Karin, who always followed her mother closely at all times, also stood on tiptoes at this moment, looked up at Shōji with a hopeful expression and said.
Shōji also smiled slightly, leaned over and touched Karin's little head and said with a smile, "Of course that's okay. As long as little Karin listens to her mother's words, I will also let little Karin study at the Ninja Academy next year. After graduation, I will definitely teach little Karin myself!"
"Really? Really? Lord Shōji don't lie to Karin!"
Hear the words of Shōji.
Karin's bright eyes also showed a very happy light.
"Well, this is the agreement between me and little Karin. Little Karin must also be obedient!"
"Yes! Lord Shōji!"
I heard the second confirmation from Shōji.
Karin narrowed his eyes happily, his little face was full of excitement, and then he nodded and responded like a chicken, for fear that Shōji would regret it.
Reina, who was sitting nearby, also showed a very happy look on his face after hearing Shōji's promise. If his daughter can become Shōji's direct subordinate or even disciple in the future, her status in the village will definitely rise. For Reina, this is undoubtedly the best news!
"Thank you very much, Lord Shōji!"
Uzumaki Reina also bowed deeply at this moment to express his gratitude.
"No, Reina-san, there is no need to be so polite. I had similar plans. Well, I have other things to do, so I will trouble you a lot from now on, Reina-san!"
"Yes, Lord Shōji!"
Shōji also nodded, and then Reina, Karin, and Neji bowed and saluted together, dodged, left the place, and galloped away in another direction.
Iwagakure, Northeastern, Iwagakure Ninja's exclusive eighth training ground.
At this moment, in the flat area directly south of one of the largest Iwagakure training grounds, there are three slightly short figures. These three people are none other than Uchiha Itachi, Deidara, and Kurotsuchi from Squad One led by Shōji himself.
"It's so slow, Brother Shōji, wasn't it promised at three o'clock? It's almost four o'clock now, why hasn't Brother Shōji come yet?"
Kurotsuchi sat on a pile of piled tree stumps, shaking his legs, pouting his little mouth, and complaining with a 'baby is very unhappy' expression clearly hanging on his beautiful face.
"You're very annoying, Kurotsuchi. You've muttered this dozens of times, don't you just want to wait a little longer? If you really can't wait, just go home!"
The shiny blond Deidara child snorted and shook his flowing hair, almost instinctively triggering it, and said directly to Kurotsuchi.
"What do you mean dozens of times? It's only four times! And who said I can't wait any longer? Believe it or not, I'm going to beat you up, Deidara!"
Kurotsuchi Liu Ye raised his eyebrows, and there was a very angry expression on his small face. The small fists that were raised deliberately like a demonstration made a 'bang' sound at this moment.
"Cut!"
Deidara was no longer afraid at all, and his face showed a look of 'disdain'.
"You can come if you have the ability?"
This 'taunt' means to fill it up directly!
In fact, Kurotsuchi really didn't dare to do anything. Unlike in the past, when the fight between the two was almost 50-50, since under the guidance of Shōji, Deidara has made rapid progress in his art, and has been able to create flying clay creatures several years in advance. With Kurotsuchi's current strength, he can only be beaten unilaterally!
From the previous 50-50 opening situation to the current situation of almost 100 openings.
Not to mention how furious Kurotsuchi was in private.
"You! Hundan guy, don't fly if you can!"
"Tch, if you have the ability, can you fly?"
"Damn it! Do you have the guts to come down and have a showdown!"
"Haha, do you have the ability to fly up and fight it out?"
"How can we fix it! After Honguliang learns Light-Weight Rock Technique, I will beat you to pieces! Deidara!"
"Haha, let's wait until the day you have the ability. Maybe you won't be able to learn it in your lifetime!"
These offensive 'sarcasm' words directly raised Kurotsuchi's blood pressure. The crazy look and Deidara's extremely unbeatable expression really formed an extremely clear symmetry at this moment!
Itachi on the other side shook his head in amusement.
These two teammates of my own probably will never be able to change their personalities for the rest of their lives! But in a sense, this is also a manifestation of friendship, right?
Itachi couldn't help but think of the funny words said by his elder brother Shōji once when Kurotsuchi and Deidara were arguing again.
'Hitting is love, scolding is love, if you don't hit, you don't scold, you don't love each other! '
Itachi also raised the corners of his mouth slightly at this moment, and curved a beautiful arc.
"Haha, why is our little Kurotsuchi so angry again? Girls should smile more to look good, Deidara, you are a man and can't you give way to Kurotsuchi!"
And this is the moment.
Suddenly.
Then a clear voice sounded in the ears of the three people.
Take a closer look.
"Shōji brother!"
"Shōji-san!"
A slender and upright figure appeared in front of Itachi, Deidara, and Kurotsuchi. When the three of them took a closer look, they saw that the person coming was none other than their captain, and their faces showed varying degrees of joy.
Kurotsuchi also jumped straight down from the tree stump, including Deidara, who has always been the best representative of "unruly". They were all respectful at this moment, and they all bowed to Shōji who had just appeared on the opposite side.
It can be said that in the Iwagakure of Nuo University today, the person who really admires and respects Deidara, apart from his own teacher Tsuchikage, is Shōji. No matter how outstanding and outstanding other people are, they can only make Deidara look him in the eye.
"Isn't it because our captain is late? Brother Shōji, don't you look at what time it is!"
After the initial joy.
Kurotsuchi just put his hands on his hips and 'complained' to Shōji!
"Haha, well, I was wrong this time. I just had some things that delayed me a little bit. I apologize. I'm treating you tonight. Whatever you want to eat, you can choose whatever you want later. As long as you can eat, you can order anything!"
Shōji laughed, gently rubbed Kurotsuchi's little head, and said with a smile.
"Well, you said it! Brother Shōji!"
Kurotsuchi raised his head slightly, narrowed his eyes as if feeling comfortable, and said with a smile.
"Yes, I said so!"
Shōji nodded and said.
"Okay, let's get down to business. I called you here today to make further arrangements for the next training and tasks for the three of you. Now with your strength, there is no need to repeat the previous tasks and training. It is time for you to enter the next stage!"
Let's get down to business.
Shōji also suppressed his smile, with a solemn look on his face, and said in a very serious tone, Itachi, Deidara, and Kurotsuchi undoubtedly Iwagakure is the most outstanding person in the next generation. Now the strength of the three of them is stable at the level of Chunin to Elite Chūnin. When they really reach their limit, it is not impossible to go head-to-head with Jōnin!
Especially Clay Explosion Release from Deidara.
At this stage, purely in terms of attack methods and strength, Itachi and Kurotsuchi tied together are not as good as Deidara.
Of course, if it were one-on-one, Sharingan, who had already unknowingly advanced to the Two-Tomoe level, would still have a certain advantage. Deidara was good at everything, but he was too weak in terms of illusion resistance.
These two people have the strength between Elite Chūnin to Special Jōnin. Kurotsuchi is slightly worse, but it is still close to the level of Elite Chūnin. When the three of them join forces, Jōnin is really no match for the three of them. Therefore, the training and task arrangement of the three of them really need to enter the next stage.
"Yes, brother Shōji!"
The three of them also showed serious expressions, including Kurotsuchi. Normally, he can be a little playful, but as long as he gets down to business, Kurotsuchi will take it seriously. Smart girls often know when they can act coquettishly and cutely, and when they should be taken seriously.
"This is the number of tasks and level intensity that the three of you need to perform next. Although you are still only Genin, your personal strength has undoubtedly reached the Chunin level. Next, I want you to accumulate enough Complete a lot of tasks, and then be promoted to Chunin. Remember, I will not follow you on any subsequent tasks. You need to judge for yourself. When I am not around, Itachi is the temporary captain of the team. He should know what the captain is going to do!"
As Shōji spoke, he took out a scroll from his arms and threw it to Itachi on the opposite side. Genius can never be measured by common sense. Even though the three of them are only in their early 20s together, and it has only been less than half a year since they graduated from the Ninja Academy, Shōji thinks it is time for them to truly grow independently!
Chunin to Jōnin is a qualitative change.
This not only refers to strength, but also to measurement and thinking.
The more the three of them are geniuses, the more they should be treated with high standards and high requirements.
"Yes, I understand, brother Shōji!"
After Itachi caught the scroll with his backhand, he looked very serious Responded.
"You two need to understand too!"
"Yes!"
Deidara and Kurotsuchi respond simultaneously.
"Very good, let me now have a comprehensive understanding of your current strength. I will re-formulate your next personal training plan based on your growth. During this process, if you have any questions, you can ask them directly!"
"Itachi, let's start with you!"
"Yes!"
Neither his own growth nor the training of his subordinates can be accomplished overnight. Shōji needs to make the most reasonable arrangements, unlike Neji, Karin, and who are still very young. Sasuke, here Itachi, Deidara, Kurotsuchi, and the older Yakushi Kabuto will undoubtedly become his most important helpers in just a few years!
What Shōji needs to do is to speed up this process as much as possible within a reasonable range.
In a few years from now, when he restarts his own plan that demonstrates his ultimate ambition, he will have enough power to use it.
No matter how powerful a person is, there is still a limit after all, even if Shōji can really suppress the entire Shinobi World by himself.
After all, his approach is completely different from Ōtsutsuki Kaguya treating all humans on the earth as 'livestock'. He wants to carry out Shinobi World's true transformation and create a country that truly has hope and future.
For this, he needs capable helpers!
Four Great Shinobi Villages.
Akatsuki!
Enemies above the moon.
There are also Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Madara hidden in the darkness
There are also the real BOSS figures behind the scenes - Black Zetsu, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, as well as Three Great Sage Lands, Sage of Six Paths, etc. who have a certain probability of becoming enemies!
These enemies are all entities that need to be eradicated one by one on the road ahead for Shōji!
