As everyone expected, after eliminating the four skeletons and collecting the spoils, Shikaku used a town portal scroll.
The eight people instantly returned to Rogue Camp, and without much delay, they left the camp directly.
They split into two teams as before, heading in different directions, searching for monsters on the map... Half an hour later, all eight logged off.
Hiashi looked around at the many Ninja with awe in their eyes. He didn't say much but went straight to Ge Liang.
"Boss, we should be first, right?"
"Based on your points, you are currently ranked first for now."
In fact, there were only three hours left until the event ended. In this time, Ge Liang didn't believe any team could surpass them.
However, since the event hadn't officially ended, they could only be temporarily first.
Hiashi didn't care about the distinction.
"Then I'll come back at 8 PM."
After speaking, he lifted his foot, intending to leave.
As he reached the entrance of the Internet Cafe, Hiashi suddenly turned to Hinata and Neji and said, "You two come with me. I have something to tell you."
Hearing Hiashi's words, Hinata and Neji walked out.
Ge Liang clearly saw that Hinata looked very uneasy, while Neji appeared calm.
Ge Liang could roughly guess what Hiashi wanted to say to the two of them.
It was simply that because of the Internet Cafe's existence, Hinata's personality and strength had changed.
Even Neji was different from the original work.
So, for the Family's development, Hiashi would definitely first show concern for his eldest daughter, and then explain the events of that year to Neji.
.
Speaking of what happened to the Hyuga Clan back then, Hiruzen Sarutobi truly acted dishonorably.
When Kumogakure sent an envoy to Konoha to sign a peace treaty with Konoha, a Kumogakure Ninja attempted to abduct Hinata that evening but was instead killed by Hiashi. Afterward, Kumogakure actually bit back, demanding Konoha hand over the culprit.
Logically speaking, as the victorious party in the war, Konoha would certainly not agree to such an unreasonable demand, especially since Konoha was in the right.
Oh, your person tried to abduct my person, failed, and got killed, and now it's my fault?
Am I supposed to let your person capture mine without resistance?
There's no such logic in this world.
What was the result?
The result was that Konoha backed down, forcing the Hyuga Family to hand over the culprit.
Hyuga Hiashi was from the Main Family. There was no other way; Hyuga Hizashi, being from the Branch Family, had to step forward and take the blame.
After this incident, Neji lost his father and harbored resentment towards the Main Family ever since.
The intention behind the Third Hokage's series of actions was simply too obvious: to suppress the Hyuga Clan.
Why say that?
The Uchiha Clan within the Village was inherently an unstable factor, and after the Nine-Tailed incident, they became a major concern for Konoha's core leadership, gradually being excluded from the inner circle.
Without the Uchiha's checks and balances, the Hyuga Clan, also a Dojutsu Family, experienced rapid development, gradually gaining the ability to threaten Hiruzen Sarutobi's position as Hokage.
From the backgrounds of the Hokage candidates throughout history, it's clear they all came from the pure-blooded Senju Hokage lineage.
Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, needless to say, was the younger brother of First Hokage Hashirama Senju.
Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi was Senju Tobirama's Disciple.
Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze was the Disciple of the Third Hokage's Disciple, essentially a grand-Disciple, firmly part of the Hokage lineage.
The future Fifth Hokage Tsunade is the granddaughter of the First Hokage.
Sixth Hokage Kakashi Hatake can also be considered a student of the Fourth Hokage.
Seventh Hokage Uzumaki Naruto, needless to say, is the son of the Fourth Hokage.
In the future, the Eighth Hokage will likely be Konohamaru, Hiruzen Sarutobi's grandson.
The Ninth Hokage will most likely be Boruto, Naruto's son.
Of course, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't see that far into the future, but to prevent the Hokage position from falling into other hands, he had to suppress the Hyuga Clan to make them understand who the boss of this Village was!
...I've strayed a bit, let's get back to the main topic.
Seeing Hiashi leave with Hinata and Neji, Ge Liang turned to Shikaku and the others and asked.
"Clan Chief Hiashi said he'd come back at 8 PM. Is it the same for you?"
"Yes, we'll also leave first."
"Alright, I know you're all busy, but if you really don't have time, you can also come collect your rewards tomorrow."
Ge Liang knew that as Clan Chiefs, these people naturally weren't as idle as free Ninja.
Besides the work arranged for them by Konoha, they also had to deal with their own clan affairs, so their free time was very limited.
It was already very commendable that they could spare six hours to come to the Internet Cafe to participate in the event.
"Boss, then we'll be going first."
"Boss, see you later!"
The Clan Chiefs were all very polite to Ge Liang, the Internet Cafe Owner.
After greeting Ge Liang, the Clan Chiefs also left the Internet Cafe one after another and returned to their respective clan compounds.
"What a shame, our first place was just surpassed like that."
After watching the eight Clan Chiefs leave, Naruto sighed, looking very sad.
"Be content, it's not bad that you got second place. At least you can still choose your own items. Unlike us, we were originally third, able to get Elementary weapon equipment worth one million Ryo. But now we're fourth, and we got nothing."
Hearing this person's words, Naruto suddenly didn't feel sad anymore for some reason.
Indeed, one's own happiness is built upon the suffering of others... When the time came to 8 PM, this five-day game speedrun event officially concluded.
"I now announce that this event has successfully concluded."
"Next is the exciting moment of awarding prizes!"
After Ge Liang finished speaking, the anticipated lively scene did not appear, which made him a little awkward.
"Boss, hurry up and let them get their prizes, don't be so slow."
"Yeah, if it weren't to watch the prize ceremony, I would've gone back to 'hehehe' with my wife already."
"What's 'hehehe'?"
"'Hehehe' is 'papapa'."
"'Papapa' is what again?"
"...Go away, I don't want to talk to you, a single dog."
Well, although Ge Liang was a bit annoyed, he still invited the top three of this event to come forward and receive their prizes.
First, the top three in the solo group.
First Place: Gekkō Hayate.
Second Place: Shiranui Genma.
Third Place: Aoba Yamashiro.
It must be said that Ninja who appeared in the original anime all had their unique characteristics.
Gekkō Hayate's Bloodline Limit, Transparent Escape.
Shiranui Genma's Flying Thunder Formation Technique.
Even Aoba Yamashiro, who had the least screen time and only made a brief appearance, had his own talents.
Hmm, he was skilled in Fire Release and summoning crows.
If he hadn't been killed by Itachi, Ge Liang would have really suspected this guy had Uchiha blood.
"The three of you, please go to the shopping software to select your items. Once you've chosen, just come to me to collect them."
