Chapter 48
"What should we do with him?"
Neji lay on the hospital bed, his consciousness hazy and his vision dark. However, the surrounding conversation was clear, seeping into his brain.
His thoughts were sluggish, and he could not grasp the meaning of the words, but his memory was still functional. He recorded every word, ready to be analyzed once his mind cleared.
"He's a victim too, just like the rest of you who hate Neiki. If we hadn't intervened, he would have been killed by Neiki." It was the voice of Nara Shikaku, head of the Nara clan.
"That beast… he even attacked his own brother."
"Neiki slaughtered the entire Hyuga clan. Why would he spare his brother?" Shikaku sighed.
Understanding shikaku's point, the other person fell silent for a moment before responding:
"…We won't hold him accountable, but we need an explanation."
"The Hokage is considering this. The preliminary idea is to use the Hyuga clan's inheritance…" Shikaku lowered his voice as he continued.
