Naruto: After traveling through time, I became the disciple of the first generation

"Lord Yahiko is right. When I get back, I will adjust Neji's schedule so that he can have some time for socializing every day or every week."

This is already a change in Hyuga's discipline, and for a family with such strict family rules as the Hyuga clan, this is already a significant step backward.

Moreover, Yahiko was an outsider after all; he was merely offering an opinion, and he didn't care how things were actually changed.

After all, it wasn't his child.

Hiashi glanced at his younger brother. Although Hiashi had no intention of letting Neji compete for the position of successor, he was not neglecting Neji's upbringing at all.

Now that he has made such a change, Hiashi has no reason to continue treating Hinata harshly.

"I will also plan Hinata's schedule so that she can have some free time to play with her friends."

Yahiko nodded: "That would be best, and I believe the child will change his opinion of you."

Hiashi and Hishi didn't have anything particularly urgent to do at the moment, and seeing that the children were having a good time, they decided to sit with Yahiko in the gazebo in the front yard.

Let the children enjoy some relaxing time.

"Really? Lord Yahiko and Lord Konan are in love? Then we must present them with a grand gift when they get married."

"Yes, the two of you have been together since childhood, childhood sweethearts, and you will definitely be able to get married in the future."

Hearing their blessings, Yahiko was very happy, after all, you never get tired of hearing auspicious words.

"Hey, if that's the case, then the entire Cloud Clan is already married."

"That's something worth talking about."

Yahiko shook his head: "I guess it'll become a topic of conversation on the streets, but it's not really a big deal."

"The matters concerning the two lords are more important. Now that we have secured such a significant benefit through my master, we must hold onto it."

Hiashi knew what Yahiko meant. He would never reveal even a tiny bit of this to outsiders. After returning to the family, he would secretly mobilize funds and convert all the family's usable assets into cash.

All funds are earmarked for the construction of the new city and the investment in the railway.

Hiashi could already imagine that although the Land of Wind no longer had to worry about strong winds, its geographical climate was still not very comfortable.

If a train line were opened connecting the Land of Wind, there would definitely be a huge number of people from the Land of Wind visiting Konoha Village.

They can collect a portion of the ticket price for the train and a portion of the accommodation fee.

The two of them were so happy they could laugh in their sleep.

However, Qu Feng also said that since they were collecting ticket revenue, they would naturally have to pay some for the maintenance of the railway tracks, but not a lot.

The specific amount has already been agreed upon by Qu Feng and Ri Zu.

"Lord Yahiko, you can rest assured. The Hyuga clan has always been a reliable family."

Therefore, Yahiko had nothing more to say.

"Neji, you said you're already training? And your father even found you a sparring partner?"

Naruto could hardly believe what he was hearing.

He turned to look at the kind-looking man with the white eyes in the pavilion; that was Neji's father.

"How could such a kind person do something so cruel to a child?"

Neji was somewhat bewildered upon hearing this: "Torture? There was no torture. Father just made me better. I fully understand Father and everyone's expectations."

"I am responsible for supporting my family in the future, so I must be strong!"

Although he didn't quite understand, Naruto expressed his support.

"Since you've put it that way, I have nothing more to say. Anyway, my father won't let me start cultivating so early."

"He and my mother told me to enjoy my childhood and not to start school until I was six years old."

Hearing this, Neji had to admit that he was indeed a little jealous.

But then he thought again, people are different. Naruto is the son of the Hokage, and he has the advantage of being from the Cloud Clan.

He has never had to worry about anything since birth, whether it's the people who teach him or the resources needed for his cultivation.

All you need to do is focus on your cultivation; you don't need to worry about the various matters concerning your family.

But he was under a lot of pressure. His father always said that the clan hadn't produced a ninja who could shine in the village for far too long.

Neji's talent was sufficient to achieve this, so in order not to disappoint his father and uncle, he worked hard and strictly demanded of himself.

Although it was tough, compared to children from ordinary families, he had already gained so much. This is what Neji understood: people are different from one another.

He can't compare to Naruto, but compared to others, he's already very good.

Although it might seem like he was brainwashing himself, Neji genuinely believed in this approach.

"After I turn six, I'll probably become a ninja under the family's tutelage, so I guess I won't need to go to ninja school or anything."

Naruto scratched his head: "You're a bit strange. You can't go out normally, and you can't go out even now that you're getting older."

"So you just play by yourself? You don't make any friends at all?"

Neji fell silent for a moment. He wanted to say that he didn't need friends, but he couldn't lie.

He really enjoys playing with other children his age.

This might make him, a genius of the Hyuga clan, seem a bit ordinary.

But he still likes it.

"There's nothing we can do about it; my father has already made a plan for me."

Naruto was a bit of a headache: "I really don't understand, but your house is too far away, and I don't have time to come find you, plus I'll get lost..."

"Does this mean that when we meet again in the future, we'll both be adults?"

Neji realized that Naruto's thought process was really peculiar: "It's not that bad. It's not like I can't come out at all. It doesn't affect our friendship."

Hinata and Xin Xin listened to their two older brothers' conversation.

Xin Xin tugged at Hinata's sleeve: "Hinata-neechan, will you do this in the future too?"

Hinata didn't really want to admit it, but she guessed she would be like that too, like a trapped bird.

"I guess so. My father is quite strict with me, but he said he would give me some time to rest today. I don't know if he's serious or not."

Xin Xin didn't ask any further questions after hearing this. She was still quite young and couldn't really understand Hinata's emotions.

Naruto and Neji's casual conversation reached the ears of Hiashi and Hizashi.

This made the two of them think deeply: was it really right to put such pressure on their child at such a young age?
