Naruto: If I ask you to kill Sasuke, you will become a succubus?

Chapter 253 Love

Shikamaru and Sakura said at the same time: "Yes!"

Kakashi looked at Hinata again: "Go back, Hinata, do you need me to send out the Anbu, or ask the branch family to strengthen the Hyuga family's vigilance?"

"me……"

"You haven't made any progress, Hinata." Seeing her hesitate and unable to make a decision, Neji said stiffly: "When faced with danger, not only can you not protect your family and support the village, but you also need the village to send extra people to protect you?"

"I, then, let the branch family come."

"Even Hyuga Hiashi is missing. Is the power of the branch family enough? Why not give the power of the Byakugan to the village to strengthen the vigilance, and in exchange, the village sends ANBU who are better at close range protection?"

I sighed, "Ningji, if you're worried about Hinata, how about talking to her a little nicely?"

Gaara said, "If Kankuro spoke to me like that, I would just do it."

"Really?" Neji asked, "Are you going to attack me, Hinata? You are older than me now, has your strength increased with age? Are you confident that you can defeat the sixteen-year-old me?"

Hinata looked pale and at a loss: "I...I..."

Seeing this, Sakura covered her forehead and said with a headache, "I dreamed about the Chunin Exam."

Ino whispered, "If we really want to fight, there won't be that many teachers here to stop Neji this time."

"Enough!" Naruto couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted, "Ningji - although I don't know what the situation is in your world, the Ningji in our world would never want to see himself treating Hinata like this!"

"Heh," Neji sneered, "Let me guess, your Neji wouldn't be so foolish as to believe in the freedom of 'I can at least choose how I die'? Or, he believed that 'I choose to die to protect my family so I am not controlled by the main family'. Too stupid! So I am still alive, and your Neji is dead."

"Okay, we need an hour to prepare," I grabbed Neji, and I felt that since I knew that this world's Neji had not freed Konoha and died in battle, Neji's resentment towards Konoha and the Hyuga family had surged. Hinata might not have made such a big mistake, but Neji couldn't help but vent his anger, "Let's find a place to have dinner... Great, we can eat Konoha's tempura again!"

After I took Neji away from Hinata and left the Hokage building, Gaara said, "Konoha is not Kirigakure. Kirigakure's bloodline limit families have been suppressed to the point of being completely dispersed, and all of them have been incorporated into the village's defense system. But Konoha's families are still considered an independent force, and they are used to operating as a family unit first."

"Yes, if there is any problem with the Nara clan, the Akimichi clan or the Yamanaka clan, they are more inclined to act with the power of the family first, rather than relying entirely on the village." I patted Neji's arm gently: "Don't be too harsh on Hinata..."

"She is too weak and has no talent as a ninja."

"But it's not her fault." I looked up at the sky. "Besides, how do we define the so-called weak... Is it just based on the strength of combat ability? But what if Hinata is a genius in other areas? What if she is actually a rare flower arranging genius, perfume making genius, piano playing genius, or sewing genius that only appears once in a thousand years? What if there is an ancient, precious, and rare craft that no one can learn and inherit, and everyone is desperate, and Hinata is the chosen one and the savior of this industry, what should we do? It's so rude for us to complain about the precious heirs of other industries like this."

Neji laughed at what I said, "How could that happen?"

"Why not? The profession of ninja is not more noble than other professions. The Hyuga family gave birth to her and forced her to become a ninja. They didn't even give her a choice. Hinata doesn't like fighting. As you said, she has no talent, but she has gritted her teeth and persevered until now... Even if she really doesn't have any talent, doesn't a person's life itself have value? The so-called weak... can't they live with dignity?"

I put my hands behind my back and imagined happily: "If in the future, no one is forced to do a job they don't like or are not good at, but can choose and stay in their own suitable position, it would be great. Fish should swim in the water, and birds should flap their wings in the sky. There is no difference in talent, but only in the direction of expertise."

Neji stopped talking, but he didn't look completely relieved.

I said, "It seems like being Neji's child would be a bit hard."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I feel like Neji will be the traditional patriarchal father who strictly follows the 'rules' for his children. Neji... won't he be a father like Hyuga Hiashi in the future?"

"No way!" Neji objected, "I'm definitely more like my father. My father is very gentle to me!"

"What if it's because Neji happens to be good at fighting, happens to be good at a career that the family values, or happens to have a talent recognized by the family? Neji needs to be more open-minded. Sasuke's father is very traditional, so he was always unhappy when he was a child."

Gaara suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about having children in the future?"

After hearing what he said, Ningji, who was about to say something, immediately stopped talking.

I asked, “My child?”

"Ah."

"never thought about."

"Has Chaolu ever thought about getting married, having children, and so on in the future?"

"But if I give birth to a child but cannot accompany him to grow up, and give birth to him and then leave him alone in the world, isn't that too much? Moreover, even if I can survive and accompany her to grow up, how do I know that she is willing to be born by me? What if she lives in pain and has a hard time in this world? What if she tells me that she doesn't want to be born at all? At that time, I can't put her back. How sorry I am."

"Asaro, your idea..." Neji looked strange, "very strange."

"Is it weird?"

"Don't you think that if a child comes into the world with the expectations of his parents and is loved by his parents, he will grow up happily?"

"But in the final analysis, it's just two adults who arbitrarily put expectations on a child. Before Hinata was born, wasn't she born with her parents' expectations? But because she didn't meet expectations, Hyuga Hiashi arbitrarily treated her coldly. The child is very pitiful for having arbitrarily expected and arbitrarily disappointed."

Seeing that Gaara and Neji didn't say anything, I said to Neji, "If Neji's future child fails to inherit your talent, and is not only not a genius, but also a loser, can you accept it? Will you still love him? Will you be disappointed in him, or do you think that as long as he is healthy and upright, it will be fine?"

"I don't expect him to be a genius..."

"Really? What if he doesn't even have chakra? What if when you go out, people look at you with pity and sympathy, and talk about you and laugh at you behind your back, saying, how pitiful, the child of a genius is actually a waste without chakra, would you think that your child brings shame to you? Sasuke's father always says, 'You are my son!' 'Don't bring shame to the Uchiha', would Neji think so?"

Ningji: "..."

"You still feel uncomfortable, right? Why does my child make me ashamed and not make me proud? Why do others look down on me because of my child? Why can't I be a little more successful and let others envy me for having a good child... Children are manipulated by adults in this way, but they can't resist. When parents are angry at others, even if they don't beat or scold them, children can feel the atmosphere that they are unwelcome, but they can't even run away."

Gaara said, "Asaro is always optimistic about other things, why are you so pessimistic about this?"

"Because I feel pain, I don't want my child to experience it. Gaara, Neji, if your child has to go through your life, would you still want her to be born?"

Gaara was silent - he was born as a Jinchūriki, his mother died, his father forbade the villagers to get close to him because he was worried that he would lose control, and he kept sending people to assassinate him. The only uncle he trusted also "betrayed" him, so he always enjoyed killing people to feel his existence...

Neji was silent too - he was assigned to a branch family that was inferior to others since birth, and was branded as a bird in a cage, unable to escape, break free, or resist. He could only be a loyal dog for his whole life, and he had to convince himself that he was not a slave, that he had choices, and that he was free - he could freely choose how to die. Seeing people who were obviously less talented than him, but who could stand above him just because they were lucky enough to be born in the main family...

Gaara and Neji stopped at the same time.

"Morning dew..."

"what?"

Gaara held my hand and looked at me seriously: "It's great to meet you."

"…I'm also happy to meet Gaara, but why suddenly…?"

Neji also held my other hand tightly.

"Neji?"

He looked at me and smiled slowly: "I am lucky to be born into the Zong family, but I am also loved by the goddess of fate."

I shook their hands, and seeing that they had no intention of letting go, I said, "Then let's just hold hands and go to the tempura restaurant together!"
