Reborn Into Naruto World With Tenseigan
Talks With Neji And The Sudden Emergency Situation?
By nightfall, the celebration ended smoothly, and the flow of people on the street gradually became thinner.
During the entire alliance ceremony, except for the episodes of Kimimaro and Sasuke, there were no other accidents, which made Kuroto a little surprised that the alliance ceremony went smoothly.
Kuroto was convinced from the evil smile Orochimaru gave upon entering Konoha, he had something planned that might cause some sort of chaos.
It should be known that when the Alliance Contract was signed, Orochimaru was in the center of the village, and was surrounded by high officials from all the villages. Not to mention the crowd that gathered just a little far away. So, if Orochimaru made trouble at that time, it could cause chaos in the village.
The use of the Exploding Tag alone might have already caused a lot of casualties, reaching up to four digits, but since he did nothing, so Kuroto felt relieved.
After finishing everything, and assigning Anbu to supervise the representatives of the four villages, Kuroto returned home for a while.
Not long since he returned home, a knock was heard.
Tok Tok Tok
Kuroto furrowed her brows about who could visit her. After opening the door, Kuroto discovers that it is none other than Neji who is standing at the door with a box "Oh, this is Neji, what brought you here?"
Looking at Kuroto, Neji lifted the box and said, “Good Night Sensei, Fumei Obasan asked me to deliver this Bento box, because Yui san is very busy and will not be relieved until midnight.”
Although Neji has never been taught by Kuroto, at least formally, Neji still prefers to refer to Kuroto as 'Sensei' because of Kuroto's promise to accept Neji as a student in the future.
“Oh, Oka-sama sent it?” Kuroto asked and Neji nodded, then Kuroto said, "Alright, come in."
[Translator Note: Hyuga Fumei is Hyuga Yui's mother.]
After receiving lunch, Kuroto took Neji inside her house.
When Kuroto opened the Bento Box, a rich fragrance spread out from the box and tickled Kuroto's nostrils, Kuroto could not hold it in anymore and immediately used the chopsticks on the side to taste it.
On the other hand, Neji was sitting across from Kuroto, and his immature face was filled with seriousness, Kuroto could see that something was bothering Neji and he wanted to talk about it, but did not know how to express it.
So, while eating slowly, Kuroto took the initiative to start a conversation with Neji, “What's the matter Neji, aren't you having fun today?”
Neji did not expect Kuroto would suddenly ask such a question that he was stunned, then immediately recovered and said, "I'm having fun, I'm having fun, this is the first time I've seen so many people from so many different villages."
Kuroto smiled and said, “That's great then, don't always be cooped up at home, training is very important, but staying in touch with others will also help you grow as a person.”
Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke are the reincarnations of Asura and Indra, as well as the Children of Divination, if Neji comes into contact with the two of them early, and develops a friendship with them, the benefits will not end. At the very least, Neji would have someone as a rival and that would be an excellent stimulation for Neji's growth and strength.
Neji nodded at Kuroto's words, then asked, "Sensei, do you know the duel in the square today?"
Kuroto glanced at Neji, then said, "So the reason why you feel troubled has something to do with this."
Neji nodded, “Sensei, the duel in the square today gave me a lot of insight and also made me realize how powerful a shinobi is. Whether it was the white-haired boy from Otogakure or Uchiha Sasuke from the Uchiha Clan, both showed talent and strength that far surpassed my imagination.”
Kuroto said, “To be honest Neji, if it's about talent, then your talent is no worse than the two of them; for strength matters, it's about talent, given the fact that you have been trained hard by Hizashi similarly for the past four years so your strength should be quite high from the current Uchiha Sasuke, as for the child of the Kaguya Clan; the situation is very different.”
Neji asked excitedly, "Is it different, in what sense, Sensei?"
Kuroto thought a little about how to make Neji understand without revealing any details about Orochimaru, “That's because of Neji's growing environment. The growth environment is a fairly vague concept and generally does not define everything, but has little influence on the power of the shinobi. The environment where Kimimaro grew up is much more dangerous than you are now. Not to mention he was also personally taught by one of the best shinobi in the world, so that was one of the factors.
Another important point is that he is also older than you and has more training time and experience.
But there is nothing to worry about, by the time you grow up, your strength might also be superior to Kimimaro if you continue to work hard diligently. ”
Kimimaro is a relatively simple-minded person, all he wants is to be useful to Orochimaru, and this desire is very strong, and it is precisely because Kimimaro's single goal has no other interference, he said, therefore he was not an ordinary child, he did have materialistic desires, nor did he have greed in his heart. Not to mention, Kuroto did not think that Orochimaru would ever consider Orochimaru a child. Thus, the training Kimimaro had gone through was probably the most gruesome and exhausting training one could go through.
Coupled with Kimimaro's own talent, however, Kimimaro's talent is also one of the best in the shinobi world. Among his peers, Kimimaro can be considered the second strongest, with the strongest being Otsutsuki Toneri on the moon.
Kuroto continued, “If we talk about Uchiha Sasuke, well at the moment he may not shine the brightest, but in the near future, he said, he will also be one of the strongest shinobi ever in Konoha. He had developed the Sharingan and it only took a few years for the Sharingan to develop into a fully mature Sharingan. At that time, if you want to be able to defeat him, then you must have full mastery over the Soft Boxing Art of Hyuga.”
Neji seemed to think when he heard Kuroto's words, and he whispered softly, "I understand Sensei."
Kuroto said with a slight smile, “Talent can only be taken so far, after that it all depends on hard work and luck, and I tell Neji, your luck is not too bad; so, so, don't despair and keep working hard.”
Kuroto sighed in silence, he could imagine the feelings of Hiashi and Hizashi after observing Kimimaro and Sasuke's duel today. The current Hinata seems shy, and is not suited to be an Kunoichi, unsuitable to be the next Patriarch; much weaker and less talented when compared to Kimimaro; and even Sasuke. So, they felt that the Hyuga Clan had lost even before the fight started.
On the one hand, they are not wrong, but they are also not entirely right.
In Kuroto's opinion, Hinata might as well be one of the bravest girls out there; it's just that her courage hasn't materialized yet.
Seeing Kuroto sigh, Neji asked with some hesitation, “Sensei, I have heard many people say this, but I wonder what you think about this matter. Did the Hyuga Clan really lose to the Uchiha Clan? Is Byakugan not as good as the Sharingan?”
Kuroto chuckled at Neji's question, instead of bothering to give her opinion on the matter, Kuroto simply said, "This is not a matter you need to worry about right now."
Neji's cheeks expand with a frown, “Then, when can I worry about this problem?”
“After beating me.” Kuroto said with a grin, “When you defeat me and become the strongest within the Hyuga Clan, you are free to worry as much as possible whether the Hyuga Clan is superior or the Uchiha Clan is superior, is the Byakugan better or the Sharingan better. At this moment, you have not even reached the top of the Hyuga Clan, on what basis will you judge which Clan is superior?”
Neji sharply sensed something from Kuroto's words and asked in a surprised tone, "Kuroto Sensei, does that mean you are currently the strongest in the Hyuga Clan?"
From what his father had told him, Neji knew that his Sensei was undoubtedly one of the strongest in the Hyuga Clan, but subconsciously, he had no doubt, Neji like all the other members of the Hyuga Clan believed that the Patriarch, Hyuga Hiashi was the strongest within the Clan, which was why he was so shocked by Kuroto's words.
Kuroto of course did not deny Neji's question and nodded casually while continuing his meal.
Kuroto did not claim to be the strongest in the entire Shinobi World, because regardless of what kind of existence was hidden out there, there was at least Nagato whose strength was almost on par with Kuroto.
But when talking about Konoha, and more specifically the Hyuga Clan, without a doubt, Kuroto was the strongest.
Neji hurriedly sat up straight and asked with a hopeful look, "Sensei, can I start formal training with you now?"
Kuroto shook her head, “Don't be impatient Neji, right now when you study Hyuga's Soft Boxing Art, I might not be able to teach you as skillfully as Hizashi similarly given the nature of my work and duties. But you need not worry, by the time you graduate from the Academy and officially become a Genin, at that time I will be training you personally.”
"Oh." Neji lowered his head; somewhat sad.
Kuroto said from the side, “In addition, not just anyone can be my student. If you don't graduate at the peak of your year, then even if you graduate, I'm not going to accept you as a true disciple.
Listening to the heavy requirements to be accepted as a disciple, Neji did not panic or be surprised, but nodded, "Relieve Sensei, I won't let you down."
Kuroto smiled, he, of course, knew that with Neji's talent and hard work, he would graduate with the best grades in his school year; but giving the boy a temporary goal that he can work on is a good approach because it will keep Neji focused and not waste his time on nasty rumors all the time.
Whooshing sound…
Before the eight of them could say anything more, someone suddenly appeared in his house and rushed in without bothering to knock on the door.
Kuroto frowned, even more so when she realized who it was, 'Why is Guy so panicked?'
Guy looked towards Kuroto but given her emergency situation, he paid no attention to the other child, and hurriedly said, "Kuroto, something happened, Kakashi was attacked."
Kuroto furrowed her brows, then looked at Neji.
Neji did not need to be reminded by Kuroto; even before Kuroto looked up, he had already stood up, and was about to say, "Sensei, I'll go, good night." Then bow and leave Kuroto's house.
Neji has been told by his father that Sensei's work and duties are very important and secret to the village. Even the Patriarch of the Hyuga Clan did not know the exact details, which was why Neji knew that he should not be present at this time and left.
After Neji left, Kuroto asked Guy to sit down and patiently explain what really happened, "Take a deep breath and explain slowly, what really happened, and who attacked Kakashi?"
Guy said in front of Kuroto with a grim face, and said, "About an hour ago, Anbu found Kakashi covered in blood and unconscious at one of the training grounds."
Kuroto asked quickly, "Is he okay now?"
Guy shook his head, “Kakashi almost died of blood loss and chakra loss, I don't know exactly what happened, he said, but her life was in grave danger and required Tsunade the same to direct all her efforts into her care. What is more worrying is that the Sharingan in his left eye has been stolen by the attacker.”
