Chapter 198 The final farewell
"What, shouldn't it be said that when you see someone so cute, you can't help but want to hug her?"
Tenten pouted with some dissatisfaction, Neji smiled and shook his head helplessly.
"Okay, okay, our family is so cute every day, I can't help but want to hold you in my arms."
"Okay! Then I allow you to carry me all the way to the destination! Thank you for my gift to you!"
Tian Tian raised his head proudly, the corner of Ning Ci's mouth twitched, and immediately realized that he seemed to have been tricked, but he didn't say anything, just shook his head with a wry smile.
Two days later, Neji finally returned to Itachi's stronghold. Although Tenten said that he wanted Neji to carry him to the destination, and Neji tacitly agreed, but at night Tenten had to come down by himself, and almost all the way He came here by himself every day.
Itachi seemed to have expected Neji to be here at this time, and stood outside the entrance of the stronghold early, waiting for Neji.
"Ningji, Bai said that Sasuke has left Orochimaru, come with me, I still have something to tell you."
"I knew you still had something to say to me, so I rushed back in such a hurry, but what else do you have to do? Even if you want to tell me your last words, you don't need to avoid Tiantian, right? She's not an outsider."
Ning Ci didn't understand Itachi, just as Itachi wanted to speak, Tian Tian spoke first.
"Neji, I'm a little tired. I'm going back to my room to rest. Besides, I think I'm going to change my place of residence soon, right? I'm going to clean up first."
"God...ah, then I'll leave it to you."
Although Ning Ci didn't expect Tiantian to choose to leave voluntarily, he didn't say anything. After Tiantian entered the stronghold and walked far away, Itachi took two steps outside, looked up at the sky, and took a deep breath.
"Ningji, Sasuke will leave it to you. I have sealed the truth from my angle into Shiro's eyes. If you insist on telling Sasuke the truth, let him see that, and... tell him, this It's the last time, I hope he forgives me."
Neji nodded, a hint of sadness flashed deep in his eyes, but before Neji could speak, Itachi continued.
"Speaking of which, most of the reason why you joined Akatsuki was because of me, right? I had a great time with you. Thank you very much, Neji."
"Don't say that. I'm very happy to have you here. We have been playmates since childhood. No one is accompanying the other, we are all accompanying each other."
"Ningji, before this, there is one thing I haven't told you. When I agreed to join Akatsuki, I made an agreement with Madara. As long as I am still in Akatsuki, I can't do anything to Konoha. Once I die, this agreement Naturally, it will be invalidated, if Sasuke decides to return to Konoha, please help protect Konoha, I know you don't have much affection for Konoha, but... this is my last request."
Itachi bowed his head to Ning Ci sincerely, and Ning Ci took a deep breath and chuckled.
"Itachi, have you forgotten my promise to you? No matter what decision Sasuke makes, I will help him. If he chooses to return to Konoha, then I will naturally tilt my position towards Konoha, but the same Yes, if his final choice is exactly the opposite, I will also help him, Itachi, and I will make this clear to you in advance!"
Ning Ci stared at Itachi with burning eyes, and Itachi nodded with a smile on his face.
"Tell him that no matter what he decides in the end, I still love him."
"Don't worry, I have been taught how much control your brother has when I was young."
Neji suddenly said such a half-joking sentence, which made the atmosphere lively, and a big smile appeared on Itachi's face.
"Speaking of which, I remember that the day we met, I promised to teach Sasuke how to throw shuriken, but you delayed me. After I got back, I could only say next time. Sasuke was very angry about this."
"I'm afraid you just remember Sasuke so clearly. In my opinion, you are not a good son, a good clansman, and not a good lover, but you are a good brother. Sometimes I really I envy Sasuke to have such a good brother like you, but it's a pity that this world will never treat gentleness gently."
Neji's words made the atmosphere that had just become lively become dull again, but despite this, the smile on Itachi's face did not diminish.
"I didn't expect that I, a person with a stigma, could still get such a high evaluation from you. The world is fair. Whether a person is gentle or not, the world will treat a person equally. It depends on whether a person is gentle or not. As for the other person, neither you nor I are treated tenderly, but there are people who are treated tenderly, Shiro, aren’t Ranmaru all gentle people? They are being treated tenderly by you, Neji.”
Neji clenched his fist suddenly and immediately unclenched it, shaking his head with a self-deprecating laugh.
"Don't say that, I never thought that I was such a gentle person. Needless to say, Ran Wan, that guy is now following his beautiful teacher, and he probably has forgotten me a long time ago. As for Bai, I just always I just treat him as my subordinate, and there is no special treatment, isn't that the treatment that a subordinate should enjoy?"
"If the leaders in this world could treat their subordinates like you, I'm afraid there won't be so many tragedies. Neji, the time is almost up. Finally, I will remind you again, be careful, that guy is terrible."
Ning Ci didn't expect the last sentence of Itachi's last words to be a reminder to himself, he was slightly stunned and then nodded heavily.
"Yeah! I see, then... Farewell, Itachi."
Itachi nodded and closed his eyes, Ningci suddenly turned his head to look into the stronghold, and saw Tiantian hiding half of his head behind the stone pillar at the entrance of the stronghold to look at Neji and Itachi, Ningci looked directly at Tiantian when he turned his head together.
Tian Tian subconsciously scratched his head, scratched the back of his head with a smile, and walked out from behind the stone pillar.
"Hey~~ I, I came out after packing up, just came out! I didn't hear anything!"
Ning Ci rolled his eyes speechlessly, and waved to Tian Tian, motioning for Tian Tian to come over.
"Okay, don't explain, I don't know about your little thoughts? Now that you have finished cleaning up and said goodbye to Itachi, we should leave."
"Oh, then, Itachi, we're leaving, you... take care of yourself."
Although Tenten went to the room to tidy up before, but thanks to the fact that Tianten pays special attention to tidying up, this time Tenten almost just went to the room to pick up the things that had been prepared long ago, so Neji and Itachi's The conversation was listened to every day.
