"Long time no see, Neji."

"Tokuma-senpai?"

Neji was a little surprised when he saw the person coming.

The other party is of the same clan as myself, and they are both ninjas belonging to the Hyuga clan branch.

Hyuga Tokuma, the special jounin of the branch family, is one of the few jounin in the branch family today.

Although Tiantian was a little strange when he saw Neji's clan members coming to see him, he did not interfere in the conversation between the two of them and left quietly.

The other person's intention of coming was that he obviously wanted to talk to Neji alone, and there was no need for her, an outsider, to be present.

Tokuma also nodded slightly at Tiantian's attentiveness.

Then he turned his attention to the somewhat embarrassed Ningji and said directly: "Hanabi-sama, escorted by our branch family, arrived safely at Ziyuan City not long ago. I think you already understand what this means, right?"

Neji was slightly startled.

Although Hinata Hanabi is the second daughter of the current Hyuga clan leader, she is the most powerful successor to the clan. Currently, it has been recognized by most clans. It will not be long before the Hyuga clan will have a true 'young master'.

The abandoned son is naturally the eldest daughter Hinata.

But now the Konoha Hyuga clan, the most powerful heir to the clan, has come to Shion City, the Kingdom of Demons, and the meaning is self-evident.

I'm here for tomorrow's finals.

"yes."

Neji lowered his head and said.

Tokuma stepped forward, patted Ningji's somewhat thin shoulder, and sighed: "Sorry, this is the collective order of the head of the family and the clan.

The branch family believes that this is just a competition. Even if the opponent is Hinata Ayane's child, there is no need to take it too seriously and just try your best. But for the clan, they can't wait for the traitors living in the country of ghosts to be killed tomorrow.

I was so embarrassed in the finals... Tell the world that the Hyuga clan of Konoha is the strongest and represents the orthodoxy."

Therefore, tomorrow's battle cannot be lost.

As long as he wins the first round, no matter whether he wins or loses in the subsequent games, Neji will not be punished, but will become a great contributor to the family.

But if he loses in the first round, although the clan members won't criticize him on the surface, secretly they will inevitably complain about Neji, thinking that he has lost the face of Konoha's orthodox Hyuga clan.

He might even take his anger out on Neji's father, Hizashi, and put pressure and make things difficult in family meetings.

Thinking of this consequence, Neji couldn't help but clench his fists and felt pressure on his body, making it difficult for him to breathe.

I thought it was just a personal battle of honor and disgrace, but when people from the Zong family got involved, the nature of the matter became completely different.

If you are not careful, your father may be involved. This is something Neji will not allow to happen.

"I understand, Tokuma-senpai, I will try my best to win the first round tomorrow!"

Seeing Neji's determined expression, Tokuma was slightly stunned.

As if feeling Neji's unshakable belief, Tokuma could only nod silently.

As separated families, they don't have much choice at this time.

It is their lifelong duty to safeguard the dignity and life of the clan, even if it means losing their own lives.

"Then I won't say anything more. Just have it in mind, Neji. I'll go back and report to Master Hanabi."

Tokuma took a deep breath, took a deep look at Ningji, turned around and left.
