"Rustle~Rustle~"

In the Hokage's office, it was very quiet, Tatsuma was dealing with the war report documents, and after a war operation, the general direction of follow-up work such as rewards, pensions, and personnel transfers had to be formulated by Tatsuma, the Hokage.

And beside him, although Zhishui's face was anxious, he didn't dare to disturb him, and opposite Tatsuma, there was Hinata Hinata sitting but. The sun looks even more restless than the water.

Hizu has a bad premonition.,It's not a casual whim.,It's because today is the day when the Konoha team returns to the village.,And after coming back, I was notified to come to the meeting.,Stopping the water that came back from the country of water.,Also looked at himself frequently.。

As for Tatsuma, he can't see the change in his face, he seems to be concentrating on his work, and from the time Hizuzu came here until now, Tatsuma has been writing except for letting him sit down and wait.

Time passed little by little, and it was almost midnight before Tatsuma stopped his pen, looked at Hirizu, and said, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting so long." ”

"Nope! No, it won't."

Rizu hurriedly shook his head, and then asked tentatively: "Four generations, are you looking for me, is there something wrong?" ”

"Well, a big deal about your Hyuga clan."

Tatsuma nodded, then looked at Hinata and said, "The Hyuga clan. Are there any people who are not on the list and are not marked by the caged bird? ”

'Ningci.'

Hizoku thought of his nephew, but quickly denied it in his heart, this should not be what Tatsuma wanted to ask.

Since the Hyuga clan was "divided" by Tatsuma, in order to better protect the white eyes, Konoha did not directly cancel Hinata's clan division system and the caged bird curse seal.

Even all newborn children need to be reported and branded with a caged bird curse by the Hyuga clan.

The Hyuga family is not disgusted by this, or they are not disgusted now, after all, although most of them are sent abroad and are not directly managed by the Hyuga family, just over a year is not enough for them to change their mentality.

And it is just branded with the curse mark of the caged bird, and it will not live by the side of the Zong family like in the past, and be intimidated at any time, which even makes them very satisfied.

Therefore, in handing over the list of newborns and accepting the curse mark of the caged bird in the Hyuga family, the Hyuga family is extremely cooperative.

And there are two copies of the list, one is held by the Hyuga patriarch, that is, Hinata Hinata, and the other is held by Konoha Village, and on this list, there is only one newborn who has not been recorded.

That is. The newborn Ning Ci, perhaps selfishly, or perhaps compensation, although Rizu himself got married not long ago, he did not ask his younger brother's son to immediately brand the caged bird curse.

The reason that Hizuzu gave himself was that he didn't have an heir yet, and if something happened to him, Ning Ci would be able to inherit the authority of their clan, just like Qiandou.

Perhaps this reason for self-deception will continue for a long time, and it may not even be necessary to completely forget that he did not put Ning Ci on the list and brand the caged bird curse mark.

But Ningci, who is still just a baby, shouldn't have attracted the attention of Tatsuma at this time, and the performance of stopping the water. Hinata licked his lips and thought of another person.

His dead father, and the fact that one of his father's eyes went missing.

At the funeral at that time, Hizoku had always been suspicious of what Tatsuma had discovered, and in retrospect, coupled with the conversation now, Hizoku felt a chill in his back.

"There is one, the child of the day difference, Hinata Ningci, who has not yet been branded with the curse mark of the caged bird."

Although he had a hunch in his heart that Chenma was most likely talking about his father's affairs, Rizu still pretended to be stupid, and even took the initiative to expose Ning Ci's matter.

Tatsuma nodded and said, "It seems that Hizashi hasn't left the village, right?" ”

"Well, he's working in the garrison squad now and hasn't left the village."

Hinata replied, and Tatsuma continued, "That's weird, stop the water, and tell the Hinata patriarch about your discovery." ”

Zhishui nodded, and after holding back his words for a long time, he was finally able to speak, and he said, "This morning, I was still on a mission in the Land of Water, and I found a chakra fluctuation that was suspected of being white-eyed.

In the process of tracking, I found that the man had rushed all the way back to the Fog Hidden Village, and I had no foreign help and communication tools at that time, so I suspended the pursuit, and after returning to the camp, I also confirmed with the other ninjas of Hinata.

The white-eyed fluctuations I found do not match the actions of the Hyuga ninja today, so I suspect that there is a white-eyed ninja in the Fog Hidden Village.

Hizoe-sama, you were in charge of directing the war against the Kiristin in the Land of Fire, and I don't know you."

"Alright."

Tatsuma interrupted and said, "It's good to stop the water and know the truth, but you can't use it as a means to question others at will. ”

The question that Zhishui has not yet fully exported, a little misinterpretation, is that Zhishui is questioning Hinata's ineffectiveness against the fog back then, and Zhishui's identity is too sensitive, and this kind of words cannot be exported.

Regardless of whether Hizuki will misinterpret it, or whether the impact of this incident will expand, as a teacher, Tatsuma will not let Shisui carry this pot.

And although Zhishui didn't finish asking completely, it was enough for Rizu to understand what Zhishui wanted to ask.

Hizuku swallowed his saliva and looked at Tatsuma, who had a little on his face. Teasing, Hizoku gritted his teeth and said, "No." ”

Zhishui frowned, he felt that something was wrong with Hizo's performance and wanted to ask, but. He wasn't the right person to ask, he looked at Tatsuma, hoping that his teacher would help him follow.

Tatsuma leaned back on the back of his seat and asked, "Patriarch Hizo, this matter is very important, you need to remember it well." ”

There was a hint of hesitation on Hizu's face, and his heart was a little shaken, not knowing whether to say that thing or not.

If he said it, the village would definitely recover the white eye, and with the village's current ability, he could definitely do it, so that the impact of his father's loss of the white eye would end here.

But at the same time. His succession to the throne is afraid that the case will be reopened, and his father launched a curse seal to force other Hyuga ninjas to death, but he failed to be ruthless to himself, resulting in the theft of his own eyes is estimated to be investigated.

And the day foot who covered up this matter. He, the Hyuga patriarch, may not be able to continue to do it, as a clan, no matter how he is, he can save a life, but as an accomplice.

The face of the younger brother and the relationship between the brothers in the past, the scenes were repeated in the mind of Rizu, and finally. He saw the Ning Ci who was smiling at him.

"Nope."

Hinata said firmly: "Although Hinata lost a lot of clansmen back then, and even some of the bones were gone, the only clansmen who were not branded with the curse of the caged bird really participated in the war, and my father and I really participated.

Both of my eyes are still there, and my father, who had one eye destroyed during the war, was not stolen, and his body was disposed of so that there would be no risk of leaking out of his eyes. ”

After saying that, Rizu felt a wave of exhaustion roll over, and when these words came out, he couldn't recover his father's white eye, which he already owed his father, but.

It's not good for anyone to pursue it.

Zhishui frowned, feeling that something was wrong, but he believed that his teacher would be able to see it, and he must see it better than he did.

"That may be a mistake in the perception of stopping the water, Patriarch Rizu, please take a trip, I have other affairs on my side, so I won't send you away."

But Chenma turned the page directly, and even blamed it on Zhishui's mistake, which made Zhishui can't help but have some self-doubt, wondering if there was a problem with his perception this morning.

"No, Hokage-sama, if there is anything else, just let someone inform me, and I will fully cooperate."

After Rizu finished speaking, he got up and turned to leave, the footsteps were somewhat hasty, and it was not until Rizu left that Zhishui came back to his senses and said, "Teacher, is it really me?"

"What you perceive is Hinata's white eyes, and they are Hinata's eyes in front of the patriarch."

Chenma said firmly, Zhishui was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Why does Lord Keke Rizu deny it?" Wouldn't it be a good thing for him to recover Hinata's white eyes? ”

"If the people don't raise the officials, they won't be held accountable."

Tatsuma sighed and said, "Victims are generally worthy of sympathy, but there are exceptions, such as my teacher, who owed a lot of illegal loan sharks because of gambling and became a victim of loan sharks, but I don't sympathize at all.

Because she made a mistake, and it was a subjective and conscious mistake, she became a victim, and she knew this, and she did not report and crack down on those criminal groups that lend usury.

Such victims do not deserve sympathy, sympathizing with them is wasting their feelings.

In the matter of the theft of the white eye, as the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, Hinata is indeed a victim, but."

Saying that, Tatsuma shook his head, he gave Hinata a chance, if Hinata told the truth today, he would also help Hinata recover the stolen white eye, but Hinata refused.

Just like some gambling dogs don't want their gambling to be exposed, and even hide it in the wrong way of lending and gambling, Rizu is unwilling to bear the consequences of revealing the truth.

And since Hitozu, who is the victim, is unwilling to pursue it, and Tatsuma is too lazy to waste his feelings, the theft of one white eye has an impact on Konoha, but the impact is minimal.

Still puzzled, Tatsuma rubbed his head and said, "Don't dwell on this matter, if you meet that white-eyed ninja in the future, if you have the ability. Just help the village stop the loss. ”

"Hmm."

Zhishui responded with some emotion, and he finally understood what his teacher meant by wasting his feelings.

He found out about this matter, attached great importance to it, and even reviewed it all day, but after he told the real party, he couldn't change it in the slightest, which made him worry all day. Pointless.

This is a waste of feelings, what an apt description.

It's also to blame that he doesn't know enough, thinking that Hizoku can pay as much attention to the stolen white eye as Uchiha values Kakashi's chakra eye

Zhishui also sighed, and then asked, "Teacher, this time when you call us back to the village, is it to change the tactical layout?" ”

Tatsuma shook his head and said, "No, it's over." ”

"Huh? However, we didn't gain anything other than the loss of a few ninjas in the Fog Hidden Village. ”

Puzzled, Tatsuma explained: "In this battle, someone will help us fight, and then I just need to sit back and enjoy its achievements." ”

"And such stupid people?"

"Well, in this world, there are many stupid people."
