The first person Tsunade thought of was her teacher.

When it comes to the power of life and death, there are few people in Konoha Village who have more say than Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The person sitting in the first seat has the greatest power.

Whatever it is, it’s just a matter of Sarutobi Hiruzen’s words.

But Gaara next to him obviously had a completely different opinion from Tsunade.

"You mean... we are the examinees."

"Gekko Gale was bewitched by that thing, so he openly went against the Hokage."

"Who...why would you do such a thing...?"

Tsunade was stunned for a second and looked at Gaara in disbelief.

Then I saw Neji nodding.

"We are the examinees?"

"Who is that...is it the snake?"

There is nothing wrong with saying it is a snake, but Neji is still unwilling to make a conclusion.

It is too early to draw conclusions now.

"do not know."

"maybe."

Gaara must know how Gekko Hayate died.

And now that the Konoha collapse plan can be released as a rumor in such a complete and detailed manner, it is tantamount to a huge bait.

For every Gaara there is, there will be a second one.

Hyuga Neji is by no means the only one in this world.

"What do you think he wants to do?"

"Whether Moonlight Gale is true or not, there is very little benefit to be gained from it."

"Whether it's for us or for it."

Another day passed quickly. Neji had spent almost all of his time in the Hokage's office from the beginning of the Chunin Exam to now.

Where can he get information?

Tsunade subconsciously looked at Gaara. If he could use sand as eyes to see things, could he also use sand as his other five senses?

But he and Itachi were with Neji most of the time, so if they were borrowing Gaara's power, they should be able to see it.

And the snake-eyed apricot tree...the young man's golden hair curled slightly, and at this time he opened a pair of innocent blue eyes, which contained only the clearest and stupid admiration for the evil god.

Neji would not let the snake-eye Anju out of his sight.

Then why?

This person may not be as weak as you think.

"To be honest..." The woman crossed her arms and sat down, facing Neji: "I have no idea what you are talking about."

Tsunade has always been frank with her thoughts.

She is not the kind of person who would hide things, and not saying anything would only intensify the conflict.

"You are indeed different from the rest of us, and you have your own concerns."

"But here I am—and you did promise us to be here..."

"No matter what you think of us, we are already companions."

"When you encounter problems, we also want to do something instead of just being protected by you."

She said it!

As an awkward king, Uchiha Itachi's eyes widened.

The people here can be roughly divided into three categories.

Tsunade and Itachi can be roughly divided into one faction, Gaara into another faction, and the three people except Neji into another faction.

Everyone is refusing the exchange and communication of information - not only those who are fighting openly and secretly, but also Ningci who is at the center of the vortex.

"madness."

Gaara felt a little disdainful. When he thought that he would be taken back to the Sand Village after the Chunin Exam, and that this terrifying woman would always stay with Neji, he felt itchy all over.

"The best way to help you is to just stay still and do nothing."

These words were all sarcasm, but they didn't make Tsunade feel uncomfortable.

Gaara didn't seem to be talking to her, but rather to himself.

Neji did not stop him, but leaned against Gaara and comforted him softly: "That's all in the past."

"I don't know what you know, but that's all in the past."

He closed his eyes tiredly, as if unwilling to continue this topic.

That is a past that people don't want to recall.

It seems that every paragraph is filled with pain and fatigue.

When one seemingly infinite cycle ends, the next one appears.

When Yi Qie was finally about to come to an end, the "master" who controlled everything thought of a new game.

It would be fine if you didn't agree.

So, has he already died? He no longer has to struggle here.

Even if you close your eyes, the future that does not belong to you will continue.

Why do the dead worry about the living?

The more "alive" Neji Hyuga is, the more he loses his direction.

He didn't want to do anything, nor did he want to make any explanation.

When rationality and sensibility collide, the birdcage woven by fetters is finally completed.

Life and death are determined by fate, just like he was destined to be a bird in a cage.

What if there is no curse? What if I no longer have the mission of splitting the family?

He couldn't see his own end.

"That's it, Gaara."

"It's in the past."

Memories that no one wants to remember should have been buried by time long ago.

Even the witnesses of time are long gone.

Uchiha Itachi is Uchiha Itachi, and he is indeed here.

But that person is no longer here.

Although gratitude and redemption did not disappear with the disappearance of the recipient, they also became ownerless and were lodged in a body that did not belong to its owner.

Even if they have the same face and the same soul, they are not the same person after all.

The snake keeps adding more slack.

It attempts to make the game more fun.

It is still unclear whether Gekko Gale was the seasoning put in by the snake. It was just a bait thrown by Neci.

That thing is watching this side all the time.

Treat him as a snack all the time.

No...it seems like it's the main meal now.

But strangely, Hyuga Neji was not annoyed by snakes.

Even though the other party pulled him out of sleep and death again and again, and imposed pain and sleepiness on him.

But snakes don't do things like spread rumors.

It's like the strong disdaining the self-protection methods of the weak - it can obviously act as a snake god and make most people accept it instantly, but it insists on using such a time-consuming and laborious method.

It's a thankless task for snakes.

But what about the people who belong to this world? They have a way of thinking that is consistent with this world, and have an absolute, pure, "human" stance.

So bait is put out, so rumors are spread.

Hyuga Neji didn't think he could stop the snake, but he didn't intend to cooperate with it either.

To be honest, even Neji himself hasn't figured out what to do.

The snake-eyed apricot tree is the best specimen for observation. It has not yet completely gone off track, and looks as helpless and pitiful as a little white mouse before being injected with drugs.

But so what?

Hyuga Neji is not an experimental researcher, but just an evil doctor with a black heart - at least that's what he thought when facing Snake Eye Anju.

Neji must know what would happen if a derailed train.

According to the hints given by the system before, he judged that the world he lived in also obeyed this law.

The most obvious example is Uchiha Itachi, who has always wanted to become a rebel ninja and let his younger brother inherit his eyes.

An invisible giant hand pulls the strings on the puppet, completing the performance again and again.

"The Chunin Exams will not be postponed."

"Is it right?"

Uchiha Itachi looked at Tsunade, the woman who had always held a "respect and blessing" attitude towards the stupid things done by the Sandaime.

Among this group of people, Tsunade is the one who has the closest relationship with the Hokage.

But is this really the case?

Uchiha Itachi naturally believed that Tsunade would give a positive answer - representing the will of the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen.

That would be a confirmation with some pain and some regret.

But the woman just shook her head: "It's hard to say."

If you must say, she is also one of those who refuses.

But Uchiha Itachi must not know about this - otherwise things will become very troublesome.

As long as a child from the Anbu has a little talent and is loyal, he cannot escape the dirty hands of Shimura Danzo.

Uchiha Itachi is no exception.

Tsunade knew that Uchiha Itachi was now a part-time ninja working for Danzo.

The old man couldn't wait to get rid of Sarutobi Sensei.

"To be honest, Sarutobi-sensei is also shaken right now."

"Maybe people get older and become afraid of death - this is obviously his choice."

The female student that the Sandaime loved so much said the coldest words in the world in the most relaxed tone.

"It's really like Sarutobi-sensei to be hesitant at this time."
