Naruto: The Brightest Star

"You can't answer that, right? That's because you haven't observed our world carefully. I admit that we did use chakra to create countless battles over the past thousand years. But that doesn't mean we like fighting, and that the ninja world will always be in turmoil."

"If you look closely later, you'll see that there has been almost no fighting in the past two years. Everyone is working for peace."

"I don't know what the world that the Sage of Six Paths wants to create will look like, but I believe in you, Sensei. I believe that you will definitely lead us to a peaceful world!"

Hyuga Neji trusts Uchiha Star very much.

He firmly believed that Uchiha Star would create a peaceful ninja world.

"There have been many people on Earth who pursued peace, but they never brought peace to Earth. On the contrary, after they died one after another, the suppressed wars became more and more fierce."

"You said that your teacher would bring peace to the world. How can you be sure that after her death, the world will still function as she had envisioned when she was alive?"

"Hagoromo's idea was a good one, but after his death, the Shinobi clan finally scattered and war broke out. Can you guarantee that war won't start again after your teacher's death?"

Toneri asked Hyuga Neji back.

"Then why are you so sure that after the teacher's death, the world will not operate as she expected?"

Hyuga Neji asked Toneri back.

“Is it past history?”

“Although we are advancing on the path of our ancestors, this does not mean that we only know how to follow the path of our ancestors. We will stand on the path of our ancestors and create a new path.”

Hyuga Neji said, and couldn't help but pause.

"Then how can you guarantee that her path will be the same as that of her predecessors?"

Toneri didn't quite believe what Hyuga Neji said.

"Sheren, how about making a bet?"

Hyuga Neji spoke.

"What bet?"

Toneri showed some interest in Hyuga Neji's bet.

"All you need to determine is whether the Earth will randomly start a war. The path chosen by the Sage of Six Paths is very correct, isn't it?"

"You have waited for a thousand years. You should not be short of five years."

"We are betting on the changes in the ninja world in the next five years. During this period, I will temporarily keep my eyes on you. I heard from the teacher that she will retire and leave the Rain Country after two years as the leader. Then another person will take over the teacher's position. In the next three years, you can experience the ninja world and see whether you are right or we are right in the end."

"If you win, I will leave the Earth with you and stay on the Moon. If I win... not only do you have to return my eyes to me, but you also have to promise me something. How about that?"

Hyuga Neji stated his request in an orderly and analytical manner.

Toneri didn't really care about what Hyuga Neji said, but...

"Then you will really be willing to be with me."

Toneri lowered his eyes and looked at Hyuga Neji, asking.

No, why is your focus a little biased, just like the teacher's?

Forget it, let’s trick him back to Earth first. As long as we go back first, the teacher will definitely have a way.

"Ah."

Hyuga Neji hummed reluctantly.

"Okay, I'll make this bet with you."

Toneri nodded, indicating that he was willing to fight Hyuga Neji. After all, in his eyes, he would be the only one who succeeded in the end.
