Minato Namikaze looked at Uzumaki Naruto who was smiling very brightly. For some reason, this bright smile always made him feel weird.

Although he was smiling, he inexplicably felt as if Uzumaki Naruto was coaxing him.

From the next day, Kakashi began to teach Uchiha Sasuke, and Namikaze Minato began to teach Uzumaki Naruto.

At home, Hyuga Neji was considering whether to take this opportunity to take his people away from Konoha.

Hyuga Neji has already prepared everything that needs to be prepared.

Although he had made up his mind long ago, when it came time to make a real decision, Hyuga Neji still had deep concerns in his heart.

What if something unexpected happens during the process? What if it fails in the end? What if...

In Hyuga Neji's mind, various possible accidents kept appearing.

After all, this action not only determines his future, but also concerns the future of his 14 tribesmen.

These 14 clan members are all from the branch family, and their age is about the same as Hyuga Neji. The oldest is only 15 years old, only three years older than Hyuga Neji.

All of Hyuga Neji's clansmen were bullied to varying degrees by the Hyuga clan.

Because they were young, their thoughts were not yet formed, and they had been hurt by the main family, it was only because of Neji Hyuga that he was able to convince and change them, making them decide to follow him to leave the Hyuga clan, leave Konoha, go to other places, and rebuild a Hyuga clan without the distinction between the main family and the branch family.

So for their sake, Hyuga Neji must be cautious and careful again.

Hyuga Neji thought about all the possible accidents that might happen, but the more he thought about it, the more outrageous it became.

Hyuga Neji slapped his head hard. He knew in his heart that the probability of the accident he was thinking of now happening was extremely small.

"call..."

Hyuga Neji took a deep breath, trying to clear his mind. Only when he calmed down could he think carefully.

Just when Hyuga Neji was freeing his mind, he saw a photo of Hyuga Hizashi hanging on the wall.

In the photo, Hinata Hizashi has a faint smile on her face and is holding his hand, and he also has a smile on his face in the photo and looks very happy.

Recalling the days when Hyuga Hizashi was still alive, Hyuga Neji showed a nostalgic expression on his face.

But Hyuga Neji thought again of that day when Hyuga Hizashi fell down and died in front of him, which made Hyuga Neji's body tense and the anger in his heart could hardly be suppressed.

Hyuga Neji took several deep breaths before calming down, and murmured, "We can't wait any longer, we have to prepare everything. Just like what Kakashi said, no one knows if there will be any accidents in the future. Now that the teachers are coming to Konoha, with their help, this is the best opportunity.

There is no such thing as a 100% accident-free world. Everything has risks. The risk is the lowest right now. There is no reason to back down."

Hyuga Neji left the Hyuga household and headed to the training ground he often went to.

It’s too risky to contact Qianyu at home, it’s safer at the training ground.

After arriving at the training ground, Hyuga Neji found a place and took out the ring to contact Chiba.

When the contact was successfully established, before Hyuga Neji could say anything, Chiba's voice came: "It seems that you have made up your mind. Just do it boldly. I'll take care of everything."

Hyuga Neji was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "It seems that Senior Brother Kakashi has already told you, teacher. Thank you, teacher. I have a total of 14 clan members here. When the time comes, I will help them remove the caged birds and make preparations."

Chiba warned, "Well, Neji, remember, don't be impatient. Impatience will increase the possibility of mistakes, so stay calm. If you don't know what to do, tell me and I will help you find a solution."

Hyuga Neji agreed, "I understand, Sensei."

"Okay, it's quite risky for you to contact me now, so let's leave it at that for now. I'll come find you when I come to Konoha."

Chiba cut off communication with Hyuga Neji.

Hyuga Neji raised his head slightly, feeling the sunlight shining on his face, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.

Soon, he will be able to break free from this cage and lead his people towards a new future.

"Ningji! You are here after all!"

Tenten and Lee found Hyuga Neji.

Hyuga Neji instantly returned to his cold expression, looked at Tenten and Xiao Li, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Tenten asked curiously, "You seemed to be smiling just now, Neji? Did something happy happen to you?"

Tenten is now extremely curious, because since she knew Hyuga Neji, she seems to have never seen Hyuga Neji smile.

Hyuga Neji replied, "There's nothing happy, and I'm not smiling. Do you have a mission to find me here?"

Tenten was sure that Hyuga Neji had definitely laughed just now.

Moreover, Hyuga Neji raised his head slightly just now, the sunlight shone on his face, and the faint smile at the corner of his mouth was really handsome.

But Hyuga Neji made it clear that he wanted to deny it to the end, and Tenten had no way to make him admit it.

Ever since they formed a team with Hyuga Neji, there has always been a sense of estrangement between them and Hyuga Neji. Even though Hyuga Neji is right in front of them, they can't get close to him.

Xiao Li said to Hyuga Neji: "It's not a mission, it's Teacher Kai who wants to ask us if we want to participate in this Chunin Exam. Since you are not at the Hyuga family, we came here to inform you. After all, you always like to come here to practice. Tenten and I want to participate. What about you?"

Hyuga Neji nodded, "Really? I understand. I will participate in this Chunin Exam."

Xiao Li suddenly said with fighting spirit: "Ningji, I will defeat you in this Chunin Exam! I have prepared a secret weapon, you better be careful!"

Hyuga Neji said "hmm" very perfunctorily.

Xiao Li was immediately discouraged. It was always like this. When he and Might Guy talked to Hyuga Neji passionately about something, Hyuga Neji always responded coldly, as if pouring a bucket of water on the fire, extinguishing their enthusiasm.

"Okay, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Hyuga Neji left the training ground. Next, he needed to notify his clan members one by one, and then wait for Chiba to come to Konoha and the Chunin Exam to begin.

Inside the Hokage Building.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was looking through the list of participants submitted by the invited ninja village.

This time, Sarutobi Hiruzen invited the Sand Village, the Amegakure Village, the Kusagakure Village, the Takigakure Village, and the Sound Village.

These ninja villages are all ninja villages surrounding the Land of Fire.

The Joint Chunin Exam is an important occasion for observing the national strength of allied nations.

The reason why Konoha held this joint Chunin Exam was naturally to show Konoha's strength to the invited ninja villages.
