Chapter 3
"What happened?"
"Nothing much, just a routine investigation." Neiki brushed past Neji and walked straight into the kitchen.
"Is it because someone else went missing? Is Sister Tsukune also…" Neji trailed off.
He was smart. He had already figured out a lot based on Takizawa's earlier questions.
Every so often, members of the Hyuga branch family would mysteriously disappear or be killed. This wasn’t frequent, but with the number of disappearances increasing every six months, many branch family members had sensed something. They sought help from the clan leader but received no response. They turned to the Hokage, and Sarutobi Hiruzen had sent people to investigate, but no clues were found.
The number of missing people continued to rise, and now it had reached those close to Neji.
"Do you like her a lot?" Neiki, lighting the stove, glanced at Neji.
"She’s always been kind to us, and she really likes you, brother…" Neji observed his brother's expression.
Why does he seem not sad at all?
