Chapter 263 The reason for being here
Surprisingly, it wasn't a doppelganger.
Instead, it was Tsunade who was smiling and seemed to be genuinely welcoming the visitor.
This was not the usual behavior of that woman - Tsunade was undoubtedly a good person, but this was based on acquaintance. Although Tsunade and Hinata were not meeting for the first time, she even bet a large sum of money on this child just now.
But it's still strange.
"Isn't this Hinata?"
Tsunade shone like the sun.
Yes, this person wouldn't be in such a good mood for no reason.
Such joyful affection as now, the snake-eyed apricot tree had only seen one other occasion—a once-in-a-millennium moment of winning.
And the peak of joy came at the moment we walked out of the casino.
Since Hinata won the third exam and Tsunade got a lot of money, her current state can be considered normal.
But nothing has started yet, so what is there to be happy about?
But if it's not the people who came...but the things inside...
That's even more impossible. If the idea just now is true, then the one who came out to greet him must be the shadow clone.
The door-opening tool person always knows his status as a tool person.
She was happy to be the first to see the guest, but she didn't want Gaara to take advantage of her.
"What a rare visitor!"
About the fact that the granddaughter of the first Hokage returned to the Hyuga branch family as if she had returned home.
"When was the last time you met?"
The woman pulled Hinata into her arms affectionately, glancing at Snake-Eyed Apricot out of the corner of her eye.
It was a look that flashed with coldness, but the object of vigilance was not himself.
Tsunade is wary of Hinata? Why?
"Come in! No matter what it is, come in and have some tea first."
O Lord, the omniscient and omnipotent Snake God!
Snake-Eyed Apricot Tree suddenly had an idea and prayed in his heart.
Please forgive all my sins!
People always have to believe in something, but at the same time, believers are free to cast a wide net.
"Thank you...Lady Tsunade..." Hinata couldn't see Tsunade's expression. The woman was much taller than her and was wearing high heels. She was as solid and majestic as her mother.
Hinata was so overwhelmed by the proud female features that she couldn't even lift her head. She could only half lower her head and try to look in the direction of the snake-eyed apricot tree.
Shy and timid children will always subconsciously seek help from people who are "helpable".
Unfortunately, the snake-eyed apricot tree is not someone to turn to, and will not provide any help to him.
This person could only smile and pray silently in his heart.
The all-knowing and all-powerful Lord Hyuga Neji!
Perhaps the devout believers are praying silently.
Please forgive all my sins!
Look at my miserable appearance stuck in the gap, please have mercy on me and fulfill my insignificant wish!
No one understands the flexibility of faith better than the snake-eyed almond tree.
He took small steps and followed Tsunade and Hinata stealthily into the house - he always had a strange but not so strange premonition.
All in all, it feels like something is about to happen.
The pond in the yard was still flowing, and the lotus leaves on it were floating just like before I went out.
Everything looks familiar.
But for no reason, the snake-eyed apricot tree just didn't want to move forward.
"What's wrong, Apricot Tree?"
"Aren't you going to move forward?"
So why do we need to emphasize the word "not forward"?
Snake Eye Anshu roared in his heart. Now he completely understood why Tsunade rejected Hinata.
It must be the same reason as Gaara! Knowing something that Tsunade will never know in her life, she now has to face the jealousy and anger of women.
But it is said that women's hearts are as unpredictable as the sea. If you really don't like someone, why would you go to so much trouble to act in a way that pleases them?
Although this person will become the Fifth Hokage in the future, Tsunade is a free person now. No matter what she does, as long as it is not too outrageous, no one will be so idle as to pick on Tsunade.
"I'll be right there..."
He quickly caught up with her. This was probably the only time Tsunade called his name so tenderly.
Even the tragic experience that the protagonist of the fantasy game encountered before officially embarking on the journey was not as tormented as he is now.
Just hope nothing happens.
As the young man prayed like this, it seemed that the snake-eyed apricot tree, which had long since turned into an adult, returned to the Pure Land along with the use of the secret technique.
He seemed like a real teenager, who could be sad, confused, and had the anxiety and awkwardness that were unique to this age.
And the passion and courage to move forward.
That kind of thing should have been lost long ago.
If I can survive this time, I will do what I want to do for the first time in a long time.
As he thought about this, he found it funny - he clearly had the wish, and the determination to realize it, as well as his unfading self-confidence, but he was evasive about whether he could survive.
When did I become like this?
Walk straight along the corridor, turn a corner, push open the sliding door, and you will reach the living room.
A room in the Hyuga branch house that is better than nothing.
There was still some dust in the corners, and even the cushion placed on the surface was a little yellowed - it seemed to be the dowry brought by the lady when she got married, and no one needed anything for this room had been purchased since then.
The curtains were drawn, simply because some people increasingly hated the feeling of the sun on their bodies.
If you obviously don't like the sun, why put the rocking chair in the yard?
Snake-Eyed Apricot Tree didn't ask any questions, he just found his own seat in the dim room and sat down.
The main seat was empty, with samurai armor placed behind it and two long and short Japanese swords flashing coldly.
Can a knife that no one takes care of be so sharp?
Snake-Eyed Anshu tilted his head to look, with only a yellow hair between him and Hyuga Neji.
The person opposite to Ningci should be Tsunade, and Hinata was brought in by Tsunade...
Everything happened so naturally.
Strange, so strange...
Snake-Eyed Apricot Tree stared at the steaming tea bowl in front of him. The last time he saw this thing was before the "Oracle", when he had just become a sacrifice.
A lacquer tea bowl used only on special occasions, used to entertain guests and as a symbol of courtesy and welcome.
Black outer wall, red inner lining, tea foam that has not completely disappeared...
Snake Eye Anshu was not surprised to see Hinata's nervousness and embarrassment.
"Brother Neji, I..."
She still spoke timidly.
There were no greetings, no regards, only a silent welcome and some superficial objects.
How could she be a guest? Where in the world are there unwelcome guests?
Hinata looked at Tsunade beside her, swallowing saliva nervously, with liquid gathering in her throat.
But before she could continue, her eyes rolled back and she fell to the ground.
Although they were sitting close to each other, Tsunade did not move from beginning to end.
He didn't even help me, he just watched coldly.
The only thing I could hear was Gaara's cold snort beside me.
Is the person sitting there really Neji Hyuga?
With cold sweat sliding down his back, Snake-Eyed Apricot Tree still had some confidence in his own strength.
Why didn’t I notice it from the beginning?
He turned his head tremblingly and looked at the person sitting opposite Tsunade.
Why would he take it for granted that Hyuga Neji would not sit in the main seat?
Why do I take it for granted that the person next to Gaara is Neji Hyuga?
It was a blood-red full moon, rotating in the man's eye sockets, and finally slowly stopped.
The next second, it seemed that he would laugh and say, "It's just an illusion, what's the big deal?"
"Where...is he?"
Snake Eye Anshu's voice was trembling. Why was Uchiha Itachi here now?
He was Danzo Shimura's bodyguard and a member of the Anbu. On the first day of the third Chunin Exam, he should have undoubtedly been standing at the edge of the examination room, naturally performing the duty of guarding Uchiha Itachi.
The first person I saw was Hyuga Neji.
The young boy was doubtful - was the person he saw now Uchiha Itachi?
"Put away your murderous aura."
A familiar voice came from outside the door. The boy was wearing a pure white coat and his face was abnormally flushed...
And the purple color that looks a bit scary right now.
Maybe it was the lighting, he looked like he was dead.
"Uchiha Itachi..."
The boy suppressed his anger.
"You've become bolder."
It's time for a big change.
