"contract……"

Neji lowered his head, not knowing whether he wanted to cry or laugh.

"Ino, believe me, things are not what you think." Neji sighed in his heart.

You know that you have great charm, but didn't you expect that even the elder Tsunade was fascinated by him?

but……

"This kid saved my life, and I have seen his battles. He is a talent that Konoha Village should focus on cultivating. You can't let you stifle all possibilities in the cradle like before. Today, in addition to being responsible To revitalize the work of the medical department, I will also take over part of the assignment of ninjas at the special level and below!"

Tsunade narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly at the two advisors.

But although the two advisors were upset, they didn't dare to say anything.

As Tsunade said, if it's about the clan, she is still the Konoha family of the Qianshou clan!

Moreover, she is also a third-generation apprentice, Orochimaru defected, and Jiraiya was born free. Tsunade seemed to be the most dignified representative in the village, and the two of them did not dare to oppose Tsunade.

"Since you want to say so, then do as you say, but if Neji causes any problems in the future, you can solve it yourself!"

Men Yan said with a serious expression.

"It's a word! But I will also watch your future behavior. I will take a good look at it. What is the reason that the internal management of the village is still a mess after so many years!"

Tsunade said domineeringly, the two advisors only looked at each other and said nothing.

In the recent incident of Orochimaru destroying the Konoha plan, so many ninjas lurked in the village unknowingly. This is the biggest problem caused by the uneven distribution of personnel and the policy.

The second is the death of the wind, the death of the chunin examiner is actually in the village, it is really shameful, and it also has a bad influence on the lower ninja.

Furthermore, there is a traitor like Yaoshidou, who didn't find any clues before the matter was revealed.

It's time to rectify the internal affairs of Konoha Village!

Neji was still very fortunate that Konoha Village really needed a character like Tsunade.

He secretly made up his mind that Tsunade must also be drawn over, such a person cannot stand on the opposite side.

Especially Tsunade, he will definitely earn his crotch.

Going out of the Hokage Building, Neji intends to go to the Intelligence Department to report the opinions of the senior management.

Because of Tsunade's help, the top management not only did not put pressure and punishment on themselves for this accident, but instead, as a reward, added this task as a B-level task on everyone's resume.

In addition, Neji has also been upgraded to the ordinary level of ninja.

This also meant that Neji was promoted from the trainee team leader to the official team leader.

Then the next time I do a spontaneous mission, if there is no accident, as long as I can hide it, these high-level officials will no longer be able to trace it.

Not far away, a person came towards him.

Neji stopped, only to see Ino running.

Stopping in front of Neji, Ino was still panting, "Ningji, I finally found you."

"What's wrong? So anxious?"

"it's okay no problem."

Ino gasped and calmed down.

Seeing that Ino was still a little bit hard to calm down, Ningji took the initiative to say, "This time the verdict has been handed down. The top management did not punish me, but gave me a promotion. In this way, our team can officially become a task team within the establishment in the future. already."

"Ah? Really? Then...Little Li, Neji and the others..." Ino asked in surprise.

Because the real task team is a team with an elite jounin as the captain and three chunin as team members to complete the B-level and A-level tasks.

This kind of team performs the tasks that the real village receives and must use the power of ninjas to do it.

Neji shook his head and said, "No, if the chunin is to rely on them, they still have to rely on themselves. But they do already have the strength of chunin."

"so……"

"So, what did you have to say just now?" Neji asked.

"Tomorrow night, come to the old place to gather!"

"old place?"

Neji and people have made an appointment with many old places, and now I don't know where they are.

Ino just smiled and said, "Dingji's favorite place!"

Then, he turned around and left, waving goodbye to Neji.

Neji waved his hand blankly, with a hesitant expression on his face.

After reporting the matter to the Intelligence Department, Neiji was officially registered as a normal Junin by the intelligence chief, Kaiichi Yamanaka.

After everything was settled, Neji's life resumed to practice. From this evening onwards, apart from sleeping and eating, Neji was always on the practice ground.

until dusk of the second day.

It's less than a week away from the date that Hyuga Rizhong made an appointment with Orochimaru. In July, summer has passed, and autumn's hand is swaggering.

But the real autumn obviously won't come until the autumn wind blows for two months. Although the weather in the ninja world is fickle, it hardly changes every year.

...

In the evening, Neji changed into a more relaxed kimono and came to the barbecue restaurant.

"Dingci's favorite, isn't that the one?"

Ningci walked in indifferently, and as soon as he walked in, he noticed the lively atmosphere inside.

Severe alcohol smell, noisy voice, and the boss' smiling face of getting rich.

"You are Neji Hyuga, right? Welcome birthday!"

"Shou Xing?"

Seeing the boss greeted him warmly, he even put a strange paper crown on himself.

"Ningji! You are finally here!"

When Neji was in doubt, Ino came running enthusiastically, only to see that Ino was already slightly drunk and looked like he was about to get drunk.

But he wasn't completely drunk. Instead, he was in a more enthusiastic and unrestrained state. He pulled Neji and walked inside.

"Is this some kind of weird party? I don't drink alcohol..." Neji pouted in embarrassment.

However, as soon as he entered, Konoha's twelve Xiaoqiang were all there.

The innermost box is very spacious, as if it was tailor-made for large gatherings.

Make a half circle from left to right around the table.

In order, there are the vacancies in the main seat reserved for themselves, Yamanaka Ino, Haruno Sakura, Uzumaki Naruto, Qiu Dao Neiji, Nara Shikamaru, Xiao Li, Tiantian, Hinata Hinata, Inuzuka Tooth, Oil Girl Shino, Uchiha Sasuke.

Neji looked at these people with a confused look.

At this time, Hinata stood up and walked to Neji.

"Brother Ningci, this is a surprise everyone prepared for you."

"Surprise?" At this time, Ningji finally remembered something subtle.

Hinata turned back, and everyone nodded in unison, except for Sasuke and Ya who were a little embarrassed, everyone enthusiastically said in unison, "Ningji! Happy birthday~"

"Ding! Detected that the host is 14 years old ~ a birthday gift package has been prepared for the host ~ please check!"

It was only then that Neji remembered that today was his birthday, his 14th birthday.

July 3.

"Ah... thank you, thank you."

Neji was also a little embarrassed. After all the calculations, he didn't even think that all these people were here, including Sasuke!

"Brother Ningji, come and make a wish!"

Hinata took Neji's right hand, and Ino, who was slightly drunk, took Neji's left hand and brought them over together.

There is a cake on the table, it is not big, but in Konoha Village, such a cake is very expensive, it is estimated that they bought it together with everyone's money.

"Ok……"

Neji closed his eyes, made a wish, and blew out the candle.

Suddenly, when everyone was toasting to celebrate, Ino grabbed Neji and said, "Actually, I want to announce a few things to everyone!"

"Ino?"

Neji was stunned for a moment and looked at Ino, obviously already very drunk.

This woman is drunk and has another look, why haven't you seen it before? Neji was a little worried.

Unexpectedly, everyone saw Ino drunk, and even encouraged them: "What? Hurry up!"

Especially Ya and Naruto, the two were too enthusiastic, only Dingci said weakly: "Hey, everyone, will this not be good?"

Unexpectedly, Ino said loudly: "Actually, I have liked Ning Cijun for a long time!"
