Chapter 364 Neji's Request, Strengthening Neji and Rock Lee
"Phew... So tired... I didn't expect teaching Tailed Beast Ninjutsu to be so troublesome. Am I just making things difficult for myself?" Ishikawa sighed silently as he walked down a dimly lit alley in Konoha.
The thought of having to continue helping Shukaku train in ninjutsu gave Ishikawa a headache.
"Ishikawa." Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out, breaking Ishikawa's reverie.
Subconsciously turning his head, Ishikawa saw Neji striding towards him from another alley with a burning gaze. "Uh, you recognize me dressed like this?"
Pointing to his ANBU uniform, Ishikawa looked at Neji, who hadn't activated his Byakugan, and asked speechlessly.
Is his identity as the deputy captain of the secret service so easily exposed?
"Heh, among my close friends, who doesn't know the chakra ninja sword behind you?" Neji smiled calmly, without mentioning that he had used his Byakugan to search beforehand.
Ishikawa...
It seems that this white-toothed longsword has become his trademark. But it doesn't matter; other members of the Dark Guard need to hide their identities and avoid trouble, but he's not afraid of those sordid things.
“Perfect timing, since we’ve run into each other, let’s have a meal together! By the way, how have you been lately?” Ishikawa casually asked, removing his mask and extending an invitation to dinner.
He has always valued Neji highly.
Don't be fooled by the fact that he's currently far ahead of Neji; once Neji obtains the Tenseigan on the moon, his strength will definitely skyrocket to the Six Paths level.
Even if it's not a pure Byakugan, as long as there's a doorknob, there won't be any problems when Neji fuses with the Tenseigan.
Therefore, this is a close friend with whom you can entrust your life until Boruto, and should not be underestimated.
"Let's eat? Or should we get takeout and go to your place? I need to talk to you about something." Neji politely declined the suggestion; he had come all this way specifically to see Ishikawa.
"Is that so..." A glint flashed in Ishikawa's eyes, and he nodded and headed to Ichiraku Ramen to pack two servings of ramen.
Neji didn't say much about it and silently followed Ishikawa all the way home.
"Did you need something from me because of the caged bird?" Ishikawa asked, closing the door and placing a bowl of ramen in front of Neji, getting straight to the point.
Aside from this, he couldn't think of any other place Neji would need to come all the way to see him.
After all, this was something he had promised Neji before, so it was understandable that Neji would come knocking on his door now!
"Yes, or you could say no," Neji said ambiguously, before opening the ramen packaging and starting to eat without any hesitation.
"Oh? What do you mean by that?" Ishikawa glanced at him in surprise, and as he spoke, he stepped forward and sat down opposite Neji, eating with him.
What exactly is this guy trying to do?
However, tonight's arrival is just in time. I haven't used Kimimaro's Corpse Bone Pulse Blood Bag yet, so tonight I can give it to Neji.
The rest can be given to Xiao Li, so that the guy's bone strengthening can be further developed into the Eight Gates Formation!
Just as Ishikawa was making his decision, Neji across from him suddenly bulged the veins in his eyes and activated his Byakugan. After confirming that no one was eavesdropping nearby, he slowly swallowed the ramen in his mouth and stared directly at Ishikawa.
"I want to kill the clan elder!!"
For a moment, Ishikawa paused with his chopsticks, then resumed his normal eating and continued shoveling noodles into his mouth. "W-why??"
"Because that guy went out to meet with the feudal lords today, this is the opportunity I've been waiting for." Neji's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he gritted his teeth. He hadn't forgotten the elder's threat during the Chunin Exams.
Even if my father was willing to accept it back then, the kind of guy who abuses his power like a caged bird is definitely the clan elder who forced my father to sacrifice himself back then.
"The main family is out? I see." Ishikawa immediately understood and sped up his cooking to weigh the pros and cons.
Well, the death of a clan elder doesn't seem to have any negative impact on him.
On the contrary, he will also gain a pair of Byakugan from the main branch of the family and the Caged Bird Technique, and incidentally, he will also sever his bond with Neji.
After all, the fact that Neji came to him about this matter proves that Neji values and trusts him.
No questions asked, just do it!
"I agree to this! But before that, bring Xiao Li to me first." Ishikawa put down his chopsticks and looked directly at Neji, saying this directly.
Anyway, he can erase his memories later, so he's not afraid that Neji or Lee will find out anything...
The purpose of bestowing favors is to strengthen bonds and cultivate power, not to quietly do good deeds!
"Ride?" Neji was both surprised and confused. Did Ishikawa really want Lee to come along?
That guy isn't suited for this kind of operation; he might even cause discord among his comrades.
Just as Neji was about to refuse, Ishikawa smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry, I have other things to discuss with him!"
"Okay, I'll bring that guy over right away." Neji changed his mind before he could finish speaking, and immediately turned around and left in one swift motion.
Tonight, he must kill that elder of the Zong family and find out the truth about his father!
"Well, looks like I should probably go find Orochimaru to develop a rocket to take us to the moon. I just don't know if Orochimaru alone can complete this research project before the Fourth Shinobi World War." Watching Neji leave, Ishikawa smiled and began preparing the infusion equipment.
He knew the passage to the moon was somewhere in the Land of Fire, but Ishikawa didn't know exactly where. And even if he found it, he couldn't reach the moon without the corresponding spacetime magic.
Instead of wasting time searching for a needle in a haystack, it's better to be simple and straightforward and get straight to the technical stuff.
With the Grim Reaper mask in hand, how could I not take this opportunity to make things more difficult for Orochimaru? Ishikawa hasn't even settled the score with him yet for ruining the teacher's wedding...
Soon, after Ishikawa prepared the IV equipment and changed his clothes, Neji returned with a curious Lee!
After some rambling, which convinced the two that this was special blood that could enhance physical constitution and bones, Ishikawa glanced at the time and saw that there was still about an hour left, so he began to transfuse the Corpse Bone Vein into Neji and Lee.
However, due to the different dosage, Ishikawa added 500cc of White Zetsu diluent to Neji in order to control the timing.
"Ah! My body is so hot, I feel like all the blood in my body is boiling and expanding..." Half an hour later, Xiao Li suddenly spoke, his face as red as a shrimp and his whole body sweating.
"Me too, I feel like my body has undergone some new changes. My chakra has increased a lot, and the Byakugan's field of vision has also increased significantly." Neji chimed in, causing Ishikawa to look over with his left eye turning red.
Ultimately, both the Byakugan and Shikotsumyaku are Kaguya's powers. With the addition of a little White Zetsu dilution, is he trying to make Neji evolve into Otsutsuki?
Wow, if that's the case, things will get interesting...
