At that moment, Kawasaki wanted nothing more than to strangle Naruto.
We must correct Naruto's thinking at any time; his distorted worldview is worse than drowning.
Kawasaki stared at Neji, somewhat lost in thought.
He had too many regrets in his past life, and Neji was one of them.
Neji's death solidified the belief in fatalism.
The son of the Hokage became the Hokage, the son of the strategist became the strategist, and the son who died in someone else's place could not escape this fate in the end.
How ironic.
I will never let you die again in this lifetime.
If I were to kill you again, I would truly be a coward!
.....
In the Hyuga clan's territory
After Neji finished demonstrating the Rejuvenation Technique, he waited for Kawasaki to speak.
However, Kawasaki remained silent for a long time.
Hizashi noticed that Kawasaki seemed to be lost in thought, so he coughed lightly.
Kawasaki seemed to wake from a dream.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Neji contained so much.
Neji couldn't understand it, and neither could Hizashi.
In this life, Neji's father did not pass away.
Although it still cannot escape the fate of a caged bird.
But with the presence of the Japanese, they gained more resources in both their daily lives and spiritual practice.
Take the previous life of Neji as an example. He was self-taught, but in this life, he was personally taught by Hizashi.
With his father still alive, Neji didn't have a clear understanding of the cruelty of being a caged bird.
Therefore, there was no deeper hatred.
Although betrayed by the Third Hokage, the Hyuga clan's fate was altered by Kawasaki's forceful intervention.
Besides submitting to the Hokage, the Hyuga found another path—an alliance with the Uchiha clan.
Although the First Elder and the Fourth Elder were of unstable stances and attempted to curry favor with Konoha,
Ultimately, however, Hyuga obtained the position of honorary elder and did not truly side with Konoha.
Because Kawasaki Uchiha wouldn't allow this to happen.
In his view, given the Uchiha's strength, Konoha would inevitably have various schemes.
The best strategy is to increase one's allies and weaken the Uchiha alliance.
Since Konoha has taken action, the Uchiha should respond accordingly. If the Hyuga harms the Uchiha's interests, they will compensate the Hyuga in other ways.
Did they become enemies with Hyuga?
Impossible. As long as the Uchiha clan becomes powerful, the Hyuga clan will follow suit and cheer them on.
Konoha had neither the time nor the courage to deal with the Hyuga clan.
It's fortunate that the Hyuga clan remained neutral and didn't completely side with the Uchiha.
The Hyuga clan's Byakugan also needs to be activated, but compared to the Uchiha's Sharingan, it requires almost no effort.
The Hyuga clan possesses unique abilities, making them ideal as the backbone of the village, though they lack top-tier combat power.
Easy to use and control, that's Kawasaki's assessment of the Hyuga clan. It would be a real shame if the geniuses of the Hyuga died as cannon fodder.
"Neji is a pretty good kid."
Kawasaki suddenly said this.
This greatly surprised Hizashi, as Kawasaki seemed to have an inexplicable fondness for Neji.
Neji usually only interacts with Sasuke at school, and this is the first time he has met Kawasaki.
"I'm leaving now. You'll have to raise this child well from now on."
Kawasaki's sudden farewell, and his last words, left Hizashi deep in thought...
Chapter 113 The Unfathomable Kawasaki! Tsunade! Konoha!
Hizashi personally escorted Kawasaki to the door before turning to leave.
Seeing that Neji was still waiting for him in the training ground, Hizashi's usually serious face softened a bit.
"Neji, do you have any questions about your training?"
...
On a whim, Kawasaki went to the Hyuga family's house.
He'd been hanging around for a while, and figured Tsunade's anger had subsided by then.
Kawasaki then quietly returned to his clan.
As soon as I entered, a person emerged from the shadows behind me.
"Kawasaki, you're really willing to come back?"
Kawasaki stopped and turned his head stiffly.
"Lady Tsunade... why aren't you resting so late...?"
A dangerous glint flashed in Tsunade's eyes.
"Don't you want to explain?"
Tsunade clenched her fists tightly.
Kawasaki laughed awkwardly, "Well, I know Lady Tsunade has hemophobia, so I'm treating her."
"Is this your reason for using Naruto!?"
The veins on Tsunade's temples bulged, and her eyes looked as if she wanted to devour people alive!
Kawasaki sighed; it seemed he couldn't avoid this beating.
Kawasaki resignedly said, "Naruto is the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, and there's a high chance he'll face danger in the future. You can't use the strongest medical ninja, are you just going to watch Naruto die?"
A strong wind was blowing.
Tsunade punched Kawasaki in the stomach.
Pfft, uh...
Kawasaki gagged after being hit.
Tsunade actually showed mercy.
Tsunade snorted coldly: "If there's a next time, it won't be so easy."
Kawasaki grunted and, enduring the stomach pain, said, "Don't worry, it won't happen again. I was only doing this for Naruto's sake."
"Hmph." Although Tsunade accepted the explanation, a knot remained in her heart.
"You have to apologize to Naruto!" Tsunade said, staring at Kawasaki.
Kawasaki grinned and said, "Don't worry, I'll tell him myself tomorrow."
Tsunade turned around: "The surgeries for Oura and Rikuo are complete. They'll be able to get out of bed after a period of rest."
Kawasaki paused for a moment, then said, "Thank you, Tsunade."
.......
The next day, Naruto opened his eyes.
I found myself lying in a hospital bed, the room empty.
Naruto walked out the door, somewhat bewildered.
Only then did they realize they were in an Uchiha hospital.
Tsunade is already in her office organizing future teaching materials.
Kawasaki paid a high price to invite her, and with so many people, she couldn't improvise.
We always need to prepare some teaching materials.
"Sister, how did I fall asleep here?" Naruto was a little confused. (89 He couldn't remember much about last night.)
Tsunade looked up and saw that Naruto's complexion had returned to normal. She sighed inwardly, thinking, "He truly is a Jinchuriki."
After losing so much blood, a good night's sleep will do the trick.
"Naruto, you were injured yesterday, so rest here."
"Ah, really!"
Naruto grinned foolishly.
He was happy for a reason; ever since he was old enough to understand, he had known that his old home was like a prison to him.
Over the years, the Hokage has never relaxed his surveillance of him. No matter what Naruto does, he has to act secretly under the watchful eyes of the Anbu.
He only felt at home when he was with Kawasaki or where Tsunade was.
Although he stayed here last night due to his injury, this was the first time he had broken free from the control of the Third Hokage.
"Oh no! It's almost noon!? I'm going to be late for school!"
Naruto was startled when he suddenly saw the clock on the wall.
Tsunade shook her head: "It's a holiday today, didn't you forget?"
"Ah, oh... is that so?"
Naruto was confused; it seemed like today really was a holiday.
"Naruto, you're awake." Kawasaki walked over at that moment.
