The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 708 Get on the bus first, pay the ticket later

Tenten and Neji ate earlier, and now it was lunchtime, but the training ground was deserted.

Tenten could clearly sense Neji's bad mood, and couldn't help but feel uneasy.

When they arrived at the training ground, Neji remained silent for a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Tenten, I can't go with you on your next mission."

Although Tian Tian was a little disappointed, she was mostly relieved. She smiled and said:

"It's okay, I thought it was something serious. If you can't go because of something, we can do it together next time."

Neji stared at Tenten, as if trying to etch her image into his mind.

"No, there won't be a next time. I won't be able to accompany you on missions anymore."

"Wh...what!?" Tian Tian stammered, as if struck by lightning.

"Why……?"

Neji fell silent and did not answer, but the lack of an answer indicated the worst-case scenario.

Tian Tian's face turned deathly pale, her breathing became heavy, and after a long while, she asked again:

"Then, will we ever see each other again?"

Neji looked at Tenten, his eyes filled with obvious reluctance: "I guess... I can't."

Tian Tian's eyes instantly reddened: "We've known each other for so many years, are you here today to end our friendship?!"

Neji saw that Tenten's eyes were filled with tears and couldn't help but reach out his hand.

But before he could even touch Tenten, Neji suddenly woke up as if he had been electrocuted, and quickly withdrew his hand.

"I'm sorry... Take care."

Neji didn't dare look into Tenten's eyes. After saying those words heavily, he hurriedly left.

Tenten stared in disbelief at Neji's departing figure, and finally, tears streamed down her face.

She couldn't help but stand up and shout, "Neji!..."

Neji paused for a moment, but did not turn around, and his figure gradually disappeared.

Tian Tian seemed to lose all her strength in an instant and collapsed to the ground.

clap clap clap...

Large tears fell to the ground.

She cried every day, feeling wronged. She didn't know what had happened. Just yesterday they were laughing and talking, but suddenly her childhood friend Neji came over and broke off their friendship.

She didn't know what she had done wrong, or if Neji had some kind of trouble. She just felt very wronged and wanted to cry.

"Waaaaah..."

Just as Tian Tian was crying, a voice came from beside her.

"Neji is really willing to spend money."

"Who!?" Tian Tian twitched, then hurriedly wiped away her tears.

But then she saw a figure stand up from her shadow.

"Lord Qianyao!?"

Tian Tian was greatly surprised; she didn't know why Qian Yao was in her shadow.

"Lord Qianyao...you, what are you doing here!?"

Chiyo waved his hand dismissively: "I've always been with Neji. I just didn't leave with him when he left."

It wasn't a secret that he knew the Shadow Cloak technique, and Tenten immediately realized it.

Chiyo had always been in Neji's shadow, but just now, when their shadows overlapped, he entered Tenten's shadow.

Tenten couldn't care less about anything else right now and hurriedly asked Senyao, "Lord Senyao, what's wrong with Neji?"

Qianyao casually replied, "There is a very dangerous experiment that needs him to do."

"If he fails, he will die."

"He succeeded, but he was too ashamed to face you, so he came to say goodbye."

Tenten's eyes were filled with shock. So Neji hadn't come to break off their friendship, but to say goodbye!?

What kind of experiment is he going to conduct!?

Qianyao shook his head: "I can't tell you."

The tears she had just wiped away welled up again, and her voice was trembling with sobs.

"Lord Senyou, please tell me, what kind of experiment is Neji going to conduct?"

Qianyao shook his head again: "It's no use telling you. He did the experiment, and he'll be gone from the world."

"Just pretend you don't know him."

I'm going crazy every day, I'm so anxious and angry that I just break down and cry:

"How can that be? I've known him for so many years, can't he just not go?!"

"sure."

Tian Tian was just saying it in anger, but unexpectedly Qian Yao actually responded.

Tenten was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Lord Senyou, are you saying that Neji doesn't have to go?"

Qianyao replied matter-of-factly, "Of course he doesn't have to go, but there are preconditions."

Tian Tian anxiously grabbed Qian Yao and asked, "What are the conditions!?"

"marry."

"What!?" Tian Tian wondered if she had misheard.

"Why marriage!?"

Qianyao pointed in the direction of the hospital and said ambiguously, "Some experiments can't be done after marriage."

He said half of it, leaving the other half for Tian Tian to fill in the blanks in her mind.

While Tiantian was brainstorming, Qianyao added from the side:

"Unfortunately, Neji doesn't even have someone he loves, let alone get married, so he can only..."

Every day, all sorts of taboo experiments involving bloodline reproduction immediately came to mind.

After all, this is a world with bloodline limits, and the Hyuga clan is one of the top bloodlines in the ninja world.

Although Qianyao was only partially concealed, considering the preceding and following statements, it was most likely a similar experiment.

"Who says Neji doesn't have someone he likes? I am one!"

Tian Tian couldn't care less about anything else and immediately said to Qian Yao.

Qianyao shrugged: "Stop lying to me. You two have never even dated. Even if he likes you, it doesn't matter."

"It takes two people to get married."

"You wouldn't actually marry him, would you?" Qian Yao shrugged, said this casually, and then turned and left.

Every day, she was torn between two conflicting thoughts, with scenes of her past interactions with Neji flashing through her mind like a slideshow.

Then, gritting her teeth and stamping her foot, she declared, "I do!"

"Lord Qianyao, I do!"

Qianyao turned his head and looked at Tiantian with a frown:

"Are you serious, Tiantian? Don't act impulsively. You know what I mean by marriage."

"Neji's matter has little to do with you."

Tian Tian excitedly shouted, "How can it not be related? I like him! He likes me too!"

"We've known each other for fifteen years, and he can only marry me!"

The two grew up together as childhood friends. When Hizashi died when they were young, Hizashi comforted Neji every day. Later, the two remained teammates.

We often do missions together, and have visited ninja villages in various countries together.

The two also have a great understanding; they can often tell what the other is thinking with just a glance.

Although the two were not in a romantic relationship, they were simply in a different relationship.

As for whether the other person likes them or not, after being together for so many years, neither of them is stupid, so how could they not know each other's feelings?

Qianyao was well aware of the relationship between the two. The reason he went to such lengths was to get them to consummate their relationship as soon as possible.

Natsuki wanted him to matchmake Neji and Tenten, but he didn't have time to accompany them on their long-term relationship.

The two were childhood sweethearts, had feelings for each other, and were each other's one and only.

In this situation, getting married directly is the fastest way.

It's like getting on the train first and buying the ticket later.

In any case, according to the rules of the Hyuga clan, one can get married at the age of sixteen.
