Naruto: A parody of the entire ninja world, the opening scene infuriates the Kage.

Chapter 199 The Konoha 12? Neji: ...

The rain was still falling, but the people of Amegakure were already used to it.

After all, it's a ninja village in the Land of Rain.

It is called the Land of Rain because it rains all year round, and because this ninja village is located in the Land of Rain, it is also known as Amegakure (Hidden Rain Village).

Before we knew it, it had been 55 years since Konoha was founded.

In Konoha, Sasuke and Naruto are already in their second year!
According to the original course of fate, the Uchiha clan was to be wiped out this year.

But now, things are hard to say.

At least many within the Uchiha clan will surely be prepared. Therefore, the Konoha leadership will have to think twice before trying to wipe out the Uchiha. The cost will be significant: casualties among ninjas, gossip within and outside the village, and even the four great ninja villages taking advantage of Konoha's weakened strength to start a war.

That alone is enough to give Konoha's higher-ups a major headache.

Ah Wei doesn't want a major war to break out in the ninja world for the time being.

However, Awei's influence on the actions of the five major ninja villages and the overall landscape of the ninja world is still quite limited.

No one can say how long the peace in the ninja world can last.

Under the eaves, Ah Wei sat by the window, protected from the rain.

Looking at the sky, the rain had no effect on the light screen.

Even torrential rain has no effect on viewing the light screen.

The magic of the light screen has exceeded the comprehension of everyone in the world.

This is completely beyond human capability.

Even the Sage of Six Paths couldn't have done it.

At this moment, the live broadcast on the screen was still continuing.

【Konoha's 12 Xiaoqiang! 】

Awei remained calm, but the villagers watching the light screen were all curious.

Konoha? It's Konoha again.

Also, what is Xiaoqiang?
The light screen doesn't provide a specific explanation, which makes it a bit confusing.

Inside a building not far away, Nagato and Konan were also talking.

"Nagato, what do you mean by 'Xiaoqiang'?" Konan asked.

“Strong should mean a strong person, and as for small, a child? A strong person at a young age?” Nagato said, offering his guess.

Xiao Nan agreed with what she heard.

The answer was given on the light screen.

The seven, three, eight and ten teams, a total of 12 young ninjas, are known as the '12 Young Masters'.

(Don't ask why Team 7 is ranked higher; it's the 'protagonist team.' Wouldn't the protagonist be ranked higher? Would it make sense to rank the supporting characters higher? As for Team 1 or Team 2, Konoha's answer is no.)

Both Nagato and Konan had strange expressions.

It seems that even though Konoha is the main character, there are still many people in Konoha who can't even get a supporting role!

[Number 1 of the 12 Konoha Genin: Naruto Uzumaki, son of the Fourth Hokage, Eien, and Kushina, and the reincarnation of Ashura, the second son of the Sage of Six Paths...]

Immediately, almost everyone watching the light screen widened their eyes.

It's confirmed! The screen clearly states that Naruto is the reincarnation of Ashura's chakra.

In fact, many people have already made guesses, but they cannot be completely certain.

Sasuke in Konoha was unhappy about this.

Why is Naruto ranked No. 1 among the 12 Konoha 12?

Erzhuzi was unconvinced.

[Uchiha Sasuke of Team 7, the No. 2 of the Konoha 12, a genius ninja who didn't graduate early, the reincarnation of Indra's chakra, the eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths. He witnessed his clan being wiped out by his older brother when he was young, which led him down the path of revenge...]

Erzhuzi's face darkened again.

How can someone call themselves a genius if they don't graduate early?
And what about geniuses who didn't graduate early? They're too embarrassed to even mention it.

As for the fact that he was the reincarnation of Indra's chakra, I wasn't too surprised, since I had already been surprised before.

Both being "tough guys," Naruto is still one step ahead of him?
[The No. 3 of the 12 Konoha ninjas, Sakura Haruno, is not in the same class as Naruto and Sasuke. She is not even worthy of being No. 3. She is just a commoner ninja. The plot requires her to become Tsunade's apprentice and become a medical ninja, learning the Hundred Healings Technique developed by Tsunade and the ability to summon slugs, etc.]

(Shizune is crying her eyes out in the bathroom. She's followed Tsunade for years, yet she can't compare to the 'female lead'.)

Sakura couldn't be happy. Was the screen praising or mocking her? But, could she become Tsunade's disciple in the future?

As for the screen saying she's the female lead, that's understandable, considering she's teamed up with the two main characters and even married Sasuke.

……

Tsunade:?
Mute: ? ?

Sakura Haruno? The female lead?

"Hmph! Becoming my disciple isn't that easy." Tsunade curled her lip.

If Sakura still wants to become her disciple, she will refuse.

[Shikamaru, the fourth of the 12 Konoha 12, is said to have an IQ over 200, but that's hard to believe. He's lazy, not a bad person, and just wants a peaceful life. He was also the first of the 12 Konoha 12 to be promoted to Chunin. However, in Konoha, he can fight a Jonin, but he'd better run away from a Chunin, and he's doomed if he encounters a Genin.]

Shikamaru, who was lazily staring at the light screen, was stunned.

[Kiba, number 5 of the 12 Konoha Genin, is a dog walker. There's not much to say; all he does is use his teeth to attack the enemy's teeth. It's a waste that he's not in charge of clearing the sewers in Konoha. He has an excellent sense of smell, which is why he was defeated by Naruto with just a fart. Literally, it was just a fart.]

Choji didn't even have time to eat.

Teeth? A fart?

real or fake?

[Hinata Hyuga, number 6 of the 12 Konoha Genin, has a gentle and timid personality.]

Hyuga clan territory, Hiashi: ? ? ?

Gone?

Should I not say a few more words?

So, does the light screen also look down on Hinata?
According to what's shown on the screen, Shikamaru, Kiba, and Hinata will be in the same class?

[Team 8: Instructor: Kurenai Yuhi; Members: Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka, and Hinata Hyuga.]

Kurenai Yuhi, who had just accepted a mission and hadn't left the village yet, was in a daze.

Meanwhile, Shino Aburame, who was playing with insects in a forest on the edge of the village, didn't want to talk.

Shikamaru isn't in Team 8, so why is he getting involved?
[Class 3, Instructor: Kai, Members: Hyuga Neji (one of the 12 Konoha 12), Lee (one of the 12 Konoha 12), Tenten (one of the 12 Konoha 12).]

[Class 10, Instructor: Sarutobi Asuma, Members: Shikamaru (one of the 12 Konoha 12), Akimichi Choji (one of the 12 Konoha 12), Yamanaka Ino (one of the 12 Konoha 12).]

Without comparison, there is no harm.

Hinata was at least given a separate introduction.

Shino Aburame felt he was the one who lost out the most; after Team 7 came Team 8! Shikamaru was in Team 10, yet he 'cut in line'.

Well, it's better if I don't have much of a presence. It's best not to appear on the screen at all, which will also prevent the leakage of my personal information.

[Next is the quiz section. Which of the Konoha 12 is the only one who died?]

All members of the Naruto chat group can answer the question. It's okay if you answer incorrectly, but you'll be rewarded with a title if you answer correctly.

This time, they didn't mention what title would be awarded.

However, the group members were still interested in the title.

As for those who aren't in the group, they can only watch.

Many people hope that the Naruto chat group will be upgraded soon.

The group is now full.

Although those with low activity levels will be kicked out of the group, it's only one spot.

If the group is upgraded, the number of group members can increase significantly.

Currently, group members have the opportunity to receive various titles as rewards from the light screen, and there are likely to be other benefits in the future.

but……

The problem shown on the screen this time...

The only one of the 12 cockroaches to die?
Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Hinata, Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka, Neji, Tenten, Rock Lee, Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino were all deeply troubled.

However, there's nothing to worry about regarding Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, since the two are the main characters and the one is the 'female lead'.

Meanwhile, many people in Konoha Village were also discussing it.

"It definitely won't be Naruto and Sasuke."

"Sakura can also be eliminated, so that leaves 9 cockroaches."

"The Ino-Shika-Cho trio is still very strong. It shouldn't be Shikamaru, Choji, or Ino who died."

"My brother Ya won't die."

"The Hyuga family is a prestigious clan."

……

As for the group chat, one member after another answered the questions. Naruto and Sakura were both ruled out.

In the group chat, the character "锅影" chose Hyuga Neji.

Although the Hyuga branch family member is a genius, he will definitely be sacrificed when necessary!
Besides Danzo, there were four other members who chose Neji.

In other words, all five members in the group chose Neji.

Obito from the group also answered the question and chose Shikamaru.

Hinata and Ino are also options.

There are few female ninjas, that's common knowledge, and there's a reason for that.

Whenever someone answers a question in the group, someone from Konoha glares at them angrily.

For example, if a group member votes for Kiba Inuzuka, Kiba Inuzuka's family and friends will be furious.

Soon, all the members in the group had been selected.

Then, the light screen will reveal the correct answer.

The title that those who answer correctly will receive is something to look forward to.

When the time was up, the answer was revealed on the screen.

The only one among the Konoha 12 to have perished was... Hyuga Neji!

Neji: ...

Is this his fate?
Born into a caged bird, deprived of freedom, he was the only one of the twelve cockroaches to die.

Because of the caged bird, it would be easy for the main Hyuga family to kill the branch family.

So, was it the main family that killed him?

Pure Land, Hyuga Hizashi, and Neji's mother are all suffering.

At this moment, the screen began playing a video about Neji's death.

First, there was the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Neji and Hinata were assigned to the Second Squad. Afterwards, Neji fought a series of battles, overusing his Byakugan and sustaining numerous injuries. He eventually collapsed due to exhaustion.

Kiba Inuzuka tried to persuade Neji to return to the medical department for treatment, but Neji refused.

Neji's stamina was so weak that he couldn't even distinguish between Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru.

Finally, to protect Naruto and Hinata, Neji bravely sacrificed himself by blocking the Ten-Tails' Wood Release: Wood Piercing Technique with his own body, and the branch family curse mark on his forehead disappeared.

The Ten-Tails that killed Neji flashed by on the light screen, but it was still awe-inspiring.

The Nine-Tails is already quite large, but the Ten-Tails is much larger than the Nine-Tails.

Conservatively speaking, the Ten-Tails is at least 1000 meters tall!

Although it appeared on the light screen for a fleeting moment, the enormous object left everyone's mind blank.

I'd guess only Hashirama Senju's True Several Thousand Hands can compare!

……

Excited.

Orochimaru was filled with excitement.

The enormous figure that flashed across the light screen was definitely the Ten-Tails.

The chakra of the nine tailed beasts can definitely be combined to form the Ten-Tails.

The Ten-Tails used the Wood Splinter Technique? And it also possesses Wood Release?

As for the 12 Konoha 11 and the death of Neji Hyuga, Orochimaru remained unmoved.

Now, Orochimaru is even more determined to collect the chakra of the nine tailed beasts.

Collecting all the tailed beasts is very difficult.

However, collecting even a small amount of chakra is relatively easy.

During the Nine-Tails' rampage, the Nine-Tails' chakra permeated the Wood Release, making it easy to collect some.

If you fight a Jinchūriki and force out the power of the Tailed Beast, collecting the Tailed Beast's chakra will be easy.

From the One-Tailed Beast to the Nine-Tailed Beast, some of the chakra of each tailed beast must be collected.

If possible, it's best to collect more.

After all, even if the nine tailed beasts could combine into the ten-tailed beast, it wouldn't be easy!
Therefore, after collecting the tailed beast chakra, further research is still needed.

As long as the direction is right, Orochimaru will try his best to overcome any difficulties in the process.

As for the Ten-Tails created due to insufficient chakra, it's probably just a smaller version! But let's get the Ten-Tails out first.

The little ten-tailed fox is definitely not weak either.

Then let the Ten-Tails grow.

"What if we also incorporate the Zero-Tails' chakra? The nine tailed beasts combined become the Ten-Tails, Zero-Tails + Ten-Tails =?" Orochimaru suddenly thought of the Zero-Tails inside Danzo.

Orochimaru wasn't in a hurry, after all, he still needed to formulate a plan.

Moreover, we still need to keep watching the light screen.

Let's talk after the light curtain ends.

It may take several years to collect all the chakra of the nine tailed beasts, as well as the chakra of the Zero Tailed Beast.

It's possible that even if you try your best, you might not be able to finish it.

Collecting the tailed beast's chakra is only the first step.

With chakra in hand, the next step is to consider synthesis.

Only by perfectly fusing the chakra of the nine tailed beasts together can the Ten-Tails be created!

The final step is to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki.

If Orochimaru could create a Ten-Tails, he would definitely want to become the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki himself.

Let's start with Takigakure, and then Sunagakure!

Step by step.

Orochimaru knew some information about Takigakure and the Five Great Ninja Villages, which made it easier for him to formulate his plans.

……

Konoha.

The head of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hiashi, also had mixed feelings.

His younger brother, Hizashi, died protecting him back then.

In the future, will Neji die to protect Naruto and Hinata?

Hinata is from the main family, and it is mandatory for the branch family to protect the main family; it is also a rule of the clan.

As for Naruto, he is the chosen one.

However, the course of fate has changed.

Neji may not necessarily be killed later.

Hiashi had mixed feelings about the branching system of the main family, but he was, after all, the head of the clan, the head of the main family, and a beneficiary of the system.

Moreover, this system did indeed protect Hyuga's Byakugan.

Without this system, countless people would be left destitute and homeless.

Both for public and private reasons, Japan cannot abolish this system.

Moreover, it would be difficult to abolish this system, as the clan would collectively oppose it.

……

"So, I sacrificed myself to protect Naruto and Hinata?" Neji stared at the light screen, his heart far from calm.

Why push yourself to that extent?
Is true freedom only found in death?
At this moment, he thought of his father. His father and the clan chief were twins, and their strength was comparable, but because of the difference in their birth order, their fates were decided.

Neji Hyuga was born with a destiny to carry.

From the moment he was placed in the cage, he had only one mission: to protect the main family.

Protecting the main family is both an obligation and a responsibility of the branch family.

Are you willing?
He was not reconciled.

but……

Touching the headband, the caged bird was concealed, but it did not cease to exist.

Can humans defy the tide of fate?

Accepting one's fate?

No, he would fight against fate.

If we ultimately fail, there is still a fate that is equal for everyone: death.

As for protecting Naruto and Hinata?
Naruto is the chosen one, the protagonist, and Hinata seems to be very important too. Why would he need Neji Hyuga to protect her?
