Chapter 261: Ch.261 Fusion Begins
At almost the same moment—
Neji, who was in the Hyuga Clan's territory, also received a message from Uchiha Shinji through 'Jikibi.'
Upon hearing Shinji's voice, he immediately stood up, his face showing joy.
Ever since the 'anchor point' incident, Shinji had not contacted him in the capacity of Akatsuki, which had made him anxious.
Because he had traveled to the Moon with Shinji and learned from Otsutsuki Hamura about the Otsutsuki Branch Clan's plan to destroy the world.
He was well aware that with his personal strength alone, he had no way of opposing the Otsutsuki Branch Clan on the Moon.
Even if the entire Hyuga Clan, or even the entire Hidden Leaf Village, were included, they would likely still be no match for the Otsutsuki Branch Clan, who possessed the Giant Tenseigan.
Thus, he wanted to join Akatsuki!
After assuring Shinji that he would adjust his condition in three days and contribute his chakra to the organization, Neji seized the opportunity to ask, "My lord, may I formally become one of your members?"
Shinji chuckled. "Oh? You're eager to join us?"
Neji replied solemnly, "Yes, only you can stop the destruction of the shinobi world. That's why I want to serve under you and contribute my strength against the Otsutsuki Branch Clan!"
