Chapter 921
Chapter 914
Tenten, Inuzuka, Chōji, Shikamaru, Haruno Sakura, Ino, Shino, and Xiao Li all received Zhou Xiaoning’s “congratulations”, but Neji and Hinata had nothing.
“Sorry Hinata, I’m still preparing your gift. Can you wait for me for a while? I promise you will never disappoint you.”
“No, it’s okay.”
When she didn’t receive the gift, Hinata was still quite disappointed. It was not that she was eager to get something good from Zhou Xiaoning, but could not bear the feeling of being ignored by Zhou Xiaoning. But now hearing Zhou Xiaoning say this, Hinata’s hanging heart suddenly fell to the ground. It turned out that Zhou Xiaoning hadn’t forgotten her, but was not ready yet…
“How can it be okay!”
Seeing Hinata compromised so easily, Ino couldn’t help showing an expression of hating iron but not steel.
Hinata’s feelings for Zhou Xiaoning have been seen by their little friends in the past two years. They originally thought that after the two reunited, they would have a good result, but they didn’t expect it to be like this in reality. No matter if others can see it or not, Ino can’t stand it anyway.
“Big Brother Zhou, we have heard what you just said. If the gift for Hinata is not good enough, we won’t agree to it!”
Ino put his hands on his hips and put on a look of supporting Hinata, and by the way he pulled the others up together, fundamentally eliminating the possibility of Zhou Xiaoning picking up something to fool Hinata.
Hinata didn’t expect that Ino would say this suddenly. Hinata is really afraid that Zhou Xiaoning will think she is a greedy woman. What if she hates her because of it?
Ino’s careful thinking about how Zhou Xiaoning could not see it, but he didn’t plan to break it, he just followed her words: “Don’t worry, I promise, the gift to Hinata will only be better than yours, not worse.”
Zhou Xiaoning said this loudly, obviously not joking. Although the goal has been achieved, Ino always feels that how to hear this is not right. They are all the foils of Hinata, right?
As the person involved, Hinata will once again be flushed and lower her head, but unlike before, her heart is filled with joy at this moment, and she is no longer so empty.
For the time being, Hinata’s affairs have come to an end. Now, among all the people who don’t have gifts, Neji is the only one.
To be honest, Zhou Xiaoning has a lot of good things in his hands, but there are really not many of them with Neji. There is no reason. Neji is now in shape. If Zhou Xiaoning forcibly add something to him, it will certainly increase his strength, but it will disrupt his original trajectory and is not conducive to his future growth.
“Neji, I can think of, there is only one thing that suits you. But that thing is still in someone else’s hands. I will take some time to fetch it for you. But before that, let me help you remove Curse. Mark: Caged Bird, it’s the interest I paid you.”
“What, you can unlock this curse!”
Neji thought about being calm, but finally couldn’t keep calm at this time.
Curse Mark: Caged Bird is the shackle put on the branch house by the Hyuga clan. It is the pain of Neji and even the whole Hyuga branch house. Although Neji was cultivated by the Hyuga family as the next branch house owner with his extraordinary talents, his status in the clan was greatly improved, but every time he saw the ugly curse mark on his forehead, he would be unwilling. It’s not that Neji is dissatisfied with Hyuga Hiashi and wants to seek power to usurp the throne. He just complains about the unfair fate.
It is precisely because of the existence of this curse that Byakugan, which was supposed to have no dead ends at 360 degrees, has a flaw that makes Neji’s Byakugan no longer perfect. For most members of Hyuga branch house, this flaw is too small and does not affect their use of Byakugan, but Neji can’t tolerate it. For a genius like him, this flaw will become a bottleneck he cannot avoid.
In fact, Sasuke and Neji have a lot of similarities in terms of personality. They are both from a big family. They have the bloodlines of Sharingan and Byakugan respectively, and their talents are even more comparable. And they all had hatred objects before, and they practiced hard with the goal of overthrowing and even killing him.
However, later, the gap between Sasuke and Neji widened. In addition to Sasuke being the only protagonist and the world’s favor, Neji’s Byakugan was blocked by Curse Mark: Caged Bird, and its potential was greatly limited. the elements of.
Of course, Neji wouldn’t think so far at this time, but he could also faintly feel that he was restricted by something. In the past three months, his strength has been on the same spot without a trace of diligence.
This is the most unacceptable thing for Neji. Seeing that the friends around him are constantly growing. Although Neji didn’t show it, he was already extremely anxious in his heart.
Neji didn’t want to ask Hyuga Hiashi to help him remove Curse Mark: Caged Bird, but he also knew that it was impossible. No matter how Hyuga Hiashi valued him, he would not set this precedent for him, otherwise his clan status would be lost. Shaken, this is something that Hyuga Hiashi absolutely does not allow.
“Can you really help me?”
After experiencing the initial shock, Neji suppressed the restlessness in his heart and recovered his calm again.
“Of course, Caged Bird may be an unsolvable shackle to you, but to me, it’s just a thin piece of paper that can be broken at hand.”
There is a hint of pride in Zhou Xiaoning’s tone, but he does have this capital. Looking at the entire Hokage world, probably only the unblocked Ōtsutsuki Kaguya can pose a certain threat to him.
It’s just that more things are better than less things. Zhou Xiaoning doesn’t want to be too stiff with Hyuga’s family. He doesn’t care about it, but he will let Hinata be caught in the middle and be in a dilemma.
So in the end, Zhou Xiaoning added: “Neji, I will help you unlock Caged Bird, but the imprint of the curse imprint may still be on your forehead to confuse others, as long as no one urges your curse. The seal will not be exposed. Also, I want to ask everyone present to help me keep it secret. After all, if Patriarch Hyuga knows about this, he will never let it go.”
After hearing the words, everyone nodded in understanding, and agreed.
“Okay, Neji, let’s get started.”
“Yes!”
Neji took off his forehead protector and exposed Curse Mark: Caged Bird to everyone. At the same time, he was also ready to endure the pain of unblocking.
However, Zhou Xiaoning just nodded on his forehead, and then said, “Well, it’s all right.”
“what!”
Zhong Xiaoqiang showed a dumb expression at the same time. This is Curse Mark: Caged Bird. Hey, Hyuga branch house can’t be cracked after hundreds of years of hard work. As a result, Zhou Xiaoning just clicked to get it done. Why is this called Hyuga branch house? what!
Also, are you sure you are not joking?
