Two Hyuga clan members appeared at the gate of the Uchiha clan.

Hyuga Neji followed behind Hyuga Kagami, looking around curiously as he walked.

This was his first time in the Uchiha clan territory.

After entering the Uchiha clan's territory, when Hyuga Neji saw a team of Uchiha guards coming towards him, a nervous expression appeared on his face.

However, to Neji's surprise, this team of Uchiha did not come over to question them when they saw them; on the contrary, when the two sides passed each other, the leading Uchiha nodded in a friendly manner towards Hinata Kagami.

Neji stopped and watched the Uchiha team walk away, his little face full of confusion.

Seeing this, Hinata Jing said: "They know that I am Yuan's friend. Now Yuan has the highest reputation in the Uchiha clan."

"Brother Jing, will Captain Uchiha Yuan be willing to accept me?"

Neji asked with a worried look on his face.

In Neji's mind, the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan are in opposition because of the reputation of the strongest eye technique bloodline.

His purpose of coming to the Uchiha clan with Hinata Jing this time was to worship Uchiha Yuan as his teacher to guide his practice.

This was a sudden decision made by his father, Hyuga Hizashi. Although Neji was puzzled as to why his father asked him to become Uchiha Yuan's disciple, he did not dare to disobey his father's order.

At this moment, Ningji was quite confused. As for Uchiha Yuan, he had only heard of this name from the conversation between his father and Hyuga Kagami before, and knew that he was Hyuga Kagami's good friend.

However, during this period of time, Ningji had heard a lot of discussions about Uchiha Yuan in the clan, and knew that he was a very powerful physical training expert.

Even those self-important and proud members of the family showed awe when Uchiha Yuan was mentioned.

Hinata Jing looked at Neji, smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, Yuan will definitely accept you."

Hinata Jing knew that Uchiha Yuan would definitely understand the significance of Neji's apprenticeship this time.

This was the Hyuga clan's response to Uchiha Yuan's last attempt to win them over.

Then, the two of them made their way to the training ground within the Uchiha clan territory.

Inside the training ground, at this moment, there was only a group of young men lined up in neat formation, shouting and throwing punches one after another.

Uchiha Yuan stood in front of the boys with a bandage on his left arm, and beside him stood Senju Xuan and Hatake Harusora.

"Yuan, how is your injury?"

Hyuga Jing came to Uchiha Yuan, looked at his left arm and asked with concern.

"Don't worry, it's fine now. It's just an ordinary penetrating wound."

Uchiha Yuan said.

"Xuan Zheng and I regret not participating in the battle that night. I never thought that there was an organization like the Illuminati lurking in the ninja world."

Said Hatake Harusora.

Hearing this, Senju Xuan's expression moved slightly and he looked towards Uchiha Yuan.

With the experience of invading the Root base as [Blue God] last time, he naturally knew that the Illuminati's Flame Demon that invaded this time must be related to Uchiha Yuan.

"This time, it's all thanks to Yuan, otherwise the face of the village would have been completely trampled under the feet of the Flame Demon."

Qian Shou Xuan said.

"Yuan, it seems that more people are joining the practice now."

Hinata Jing turned his gaze and said to the Uchiha boys who were punching and stabbing.

"Yes."

Uchiha Yuan nodded slightly.

Ever since the battle with the Flame Demon spread within the family, more and more young members of the clan have become interested in practicing physical skills.

In addition to those ordinary clansmen who were considered to have no ninja qualifications, some young clansmen from ninja families also found Uchiha Yuan and wanted to join the physical training team.

Then, Uchiha Yuan looked at Hyuga Neji behind Hyuga Kagami and asked, "Who is this child?"

"He is Hyuuga Neji, the child of Hizashi-sama."

Hinata Jing said.

Then, he stretched out his hand and pulled Neji in front of him, and said to Uchiha Yuan: "Yuan, I brought Neji here to become your disciple this time."

Uchiha Yuan met Hinata Jing's gaze, and then saw him nod slightly, and he immediately understood.

This was because the Hyuga clan saw his strength and made the choice.

But there is still room for this option, after all, Neji is only a member of the branch family.

Uchiha Yuan looked at Ningci and said calmly: "You want to become my disciple?"

Facing Uchiha Yuan's direct gaze, Neji suddenly felt a huge pressure looming over him.

His face was tense as he tried hard to maintain his composure, then he bent over and said loudly to Uchiha Yuan: "Yes, I want to be your disciple."

Ningji kept his eyes closed and bent over, quietly waiting for Uchiha Yuan's answer.

Time seemed to have completely stopped at this moment.

Looking at Neji, Uchiha Yuan thought of his struggle in the original plot.

Among the Twelve Warriors of Konoha, Neji is a tragic character. He tried hard to fight against fate, but in the end he fell down powerlessly, and he never got rid of the shackles of fate until his death.

"I agree to take you as my disciple."

As Uchiha Yuan's calm voice sounded, Neji felt that the terrifying mountain-like pressure that was enveloping him suddenly dissipated.

Ningci raised his head, looked at Uchiha Yuan and said solemnly: "Ningci greets the teacher!"

Uchiha Yuan raised his hand, motioning for Neji to stand up; then he looked at Hyuga Jing and said, "Let's hold a ceremony to become a disciple. I want the entire Konoha to know that Hyuga Neji is my Uchiha Yuan's disciple from now on."

"I understand. I will inform Lord Hiashi and Lord Hizashi when I return."

Hinata Jing said.

Next, Hyuga Kagami talked to Uchiha Yuan about the Hyuga clan's discussions about the Illuminati and Enma.

Neji, on the other hand, looked at the boys who were throwing punches and thrusts, observing their movements carefully.

After a while, Hinata Jing said goodbye and left, followed by Hatake Harusora.

"I got the news that, unlike you and Might Guy, the power left by the Flame Demon on Danzo is difficult to remove, and that power has been eroding Danzo's body.

The Root's healers were completely helpless and had to ask Sister Tsunade to go to the Root base.

But Sister Tsunade can't find a way to remove the power of the Flame Demon for the time being."

Qian Shou Xuan said.

After a pause, Qianshou Xuan suddenly asked: "Why not just kill him?"

Uchiha Yuan sneered and said, "If we kill him like this, it would be too easy for him.

I didn’t even destroy the sealed internal organs in the deepest laboratory of the Root Base. They were all evidence of Danzo’s crimes.”

"Why did the Illuminati appear again?"

Qian Shou Xuan asked.

"To buy some time for Konoha and the Uchiha clan."

Seeing Senju Xuan's puzzled expression, Uchiha Yuan showed a sarcastic smile and said, "With the Hidden Cloud Village seeking peace, the Third Ninja World War has come to an end; without external pressure, the Uchiha clan is the biggest source of instability in the eyes of the Third Generation.

At this time, the Illuminati that suddenly invaded Konoha would divert the attention of the Third Hokage and prevent the conflict between the Uchiha and Konoha from erupting too early. "
