"You... you want my eyes!?"
Ning Ci looked surprised and his eyes were full of bewilderment.
Hyuga Kyou stared at Neji in the shadows and said, "I need a pair of pure and fresh white eyes to relieve my current physical trauma!"
Ning Ci hurriedly said: "But I'm separated, I've already been engraved with 'caged bird'!"
Hyuga Kyou was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Yes, because of the existence of the 'caged bird', if you choose to dedicate your eyes to me, then your end will be death!"
Ning Ci was in a state of confusion for a moment, he never thought that Hyuga Kyou called him here because of his eyes.
Looking at Neji whose face was sometimes struggling, sometimes entangled, and sometimes panicked, Hyuga Kyou didn't say any more words to urge him, but shrank in the shadows and waited quietly.
Hyuga Kyou will not repeat the mistakes of Uchiha Madara, so his Tenseigan must be entrusted to someone who is absolutely trustworthy. If no one can trust it, then even if it has been kept in a jar and slowly loses its activity, it is better than entrusting it to someone who cannot be trusted.
For this reason, he specially arranged this meeting in the cave.
In fact, he is not sure what choice Neji will make now, maybe he will readily agree, maybe he will flatly refuse, or he may even run away!
Because in this case, any choice by Neji is possible, and any choice is understandable.
The human heart is the most vulnerable to temptation, and selfishness is human nature, so before arranging this temptation, Hyuga Kyou was already mentally prepared to accept everything.
After an unknown amount of time, Ning Ci asked in a hoarse voice, "Teacher, can my supercilious eyes really help you?"
"Um."
Hyuga Kyou responded lightly.
Ning Ci exhaled, and said as if out of strength: "Then...then you take it!"
Hyuga Kyou asked almost word for word: "Is this your final decision?"
Ning Ci seemed to be speechless, but nodded his head.
From Neji's face, Hyuga Kyou saw fear and cowardice, as well as determination and stubbornness. It was a very complicated expression, so he could imagine the struggle in Neji's heart at the moment.
But Ningci didn't refuse, nor did he run away.
In the shadows, Hyuga Kyou raised his mouth slightly, and said in a still cold tone: "This is not a matter of blindness. After I take your eyes, you will surely die, so don't worry about my identity as Hokage. I allow you to go back on your word."
Ning Ci breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had regained some strength.
Hyuga Kyou said: "Okay, now tell me your decision again!"
"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to repent, but I don't repent. I am willing to roll my eyes, not because you are Hokage, but because you are my teacher!"
After finishing speaking, Neji looked at Hyuga Kyou with some trepidation. Although he had made up his mind, he was still a little scared when he was about to die.
"Ah... "
Suddenly, there was a chuckle from the shadows.
Ning Ci was full of doubts: "Teacher, what are you laughing at?"
At this moment, Hyuga Kyou got up and walked in front of Neji, and said with a smile: "I'm dead, so I don't need your white eyes anymore, but my eyes need someone to warm them up for me."
"You... you're dead?!"
Ning Ci froze in place.
Hyuga Kyou glanced at Neji: "It's strange to die once in a while."
"???"
There was more doubt on Ning Ci's face.
Hyuga Kyou didn't explain how he died, but just turned around and opened a mechanism.
Click...
Suddenly, a stone door opened in response.
"follow me!"
Hyuga mirror said and stepped into the stone gate first.
Ning Ci hurriedly followed, and found that behind the stone gate was a brightly lit operating room filled with various instruments, many of which he had never seen in Konoha Hospital.
Hyuga Kyou walked slowly to the nutrition jar containing his Tenseigan, and explained to Neji in a calm tone: "I am indeed dead, but I have a way to resurrect, so you don't have to worry about this."
Ning Ci couldn't hide the shock on his face.
In his eyes, death is very solemn, and it is the end of all existence, but it can be said from Hyuga Kyou's mouth, as if it is as casual as it is commonplace.
And not only death, but even things like resurrection that only existed in legendary stories, the teacher seemed to be able to do it easily, which made him feel strange.
"Just now was just a test for you, and your performance did not disappoint me." After a pause, Hyuga Kyou continued to explain: "But I do need your help for one thing, not your white eyes, but your living body, and the white eye chakra on your body, to help me nourish my eyes and keep them active."
"yes!"
Although he didn't quite understand what Hyuga Kyou was saying, Neji nodded subconsciously.
At this time, no matter how stupid he was, he would have guessed that his teacher Hyuga Kyou must be planning something big, and this kind of thing that needs to be handled by Hokage himself is undoubtedly a big thing related to the life and death of the village, and even the survival of the ninja world, so at this time, his own life seems insignificant instead.
Hyuga Kyou didn't know what was going on in Neji's mind. While preparing the surgical instruments, he casually asked Neji, "You seem to envy Sasuke's kaleidoscope Sharingan?"
Being caught by Hinata Kyou's words, Neji immediately lowered his head guiltily.
He has been hiding this kind of thinking very deeply, because he feels that he is a child of the wealthy Hyuga clan, and he should not be envious of Sasuke's Kaleidoscope Sharingan, but his failures time and time again, and Sasuke's dazzling performance time and time again, let him can't help but envy and yearn for it, it would be great if he could have a pair of Kaleidoscope Sharingan like Sasuke.
If it were someone else, he wouldn't admit it, but in front of Hyuga Kyou, he didn't dare to lie, so he could only answer: "I'm sorry, teacher, I just think that the Uchiha clan's Kaleidoscope Sharingan pupil technique is very powerful, but our Hyuga clan's white eyes don't have similar powerful pupil technique, so sometimes I envy Sasuke."
"Is it... "
Hyuga Kyou smiled casually.
Ning Ci hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, I will definitely correct this misconception."
Hyuga Kyou shook his head, and said with a smile, "You idiot, don't apologize to me, I've had such longings before!"
Ning Ci was a little surprised: "Does the teacher also have such thoughts?"
Hyuga mirror nodded slightly: "Looking forward to powerful power is the instinct of a ninja, and it should not be criticized. As your teacher, I'm sorry, I can't give you the kaleidoscope writing sharingan you want, but my eyes can let you experience it."
Neji's gaze naturally fell on the nutrition jar that Hyuga Kyou was holding in his hand.
The corner of Hyuga mirror's mouth twitched: "Are you ready, boy?"
