Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

【quiet.】

A deathly silence.

[The veins on Hiruzen Sarutobi's forehead bulged.]

Why is that?

It gave several hints, urging the ANBU ninjas operating in the shadows to be more reliable.

The result is still the same.

[A moment later.]

Neji suddenly smiled.

"That's fine too."

【Then let's fight.】

Is this just some old man's twisted sense of humor?

[It's an opportunity, I suppose.]

It's time to lay the truth on everyone.

Neji looked at Naruto.

A fighting spirit was already emerging in his eyes.

He also wanted to prove something.

I intend to take this opportunity to announce something to everyone.

The youngest member of the Hyuga clan is the true genius of the Hyuga.

[Instead of being someone who had branched out of the family.]

Hinata frowned slightly.

[I was about to raise my hand to indicate that I was abstaining.]

"Hinata-sama." Neji suddenly spoke up.

[Looking sideways.]

Neji opened his mouth.

In the end, nothing was said.

[Then he instantly teleported off the field.]

He then respectfully gestured for Hinata to enter from the second-floor stands.

Seeing this, Hayate Gekko nodded slightly, and was about to urge Hinata to come down.

【"Hinata..."】

"Shut up!" Neji glanced at him.

[Moonlight and Gale paused, startled.]

I didn't expect to be scolded.

He coughed a few times.

[Just about to speak.]

Hinata has entered the arena.

"Neji-nii-san, do we really have to fight?"

Upon hearing this, Neji shook his head.

"Hinata-sama."

"You're too kind."

"Always hoping to peacefully avoid all conflict."

"This won't work in the ninja world."

"Hinata-sama... you're not really suited to be a ninja."

Hinata paused, taken aback.

Neji is right.

But it didn't say everything.

People change.

Hinata didn't want to say anything more.

This selection process made her somewhat unhappy.

It's best to finish this as soon as possible.

[Furthermore... Hinata also understands Neji's meaning.]

[The care from my brother.]

She had refused many times, but this time, Neji seemed unusually resolute.

So be it.

Now that Naruto-kun is also planning to officially emerge... she naturally can no longer remain peaceful.

The two's opening remarks were rather bland.

[No chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) or empty talk.]

It was just like a normal conversation.

The only difference is that the battleground has changed.

【Om—】

[The next moment.]

Neji closed his eyes.

[When I opened my eyes again.]

The blood vessels around the eyes are slightly bulging.

[Eye roll!]

[They started at their best.]

He knew all too well that long before he even entered the Ninja Academy, he had already lost the right to defeat or even draw with Hinata.

[After this young lady finished eating...]

Take a deep breath.

Neji looked at Hinata and said seriously:

"Hinata, your talent is the strongest in the history of the Hyuga clan."

"But you're too kind."

"Perhaps... this talent is more of a hindrance to you."

"But as the head of the main family..."

Neji hadn't finished speaking yet.

Hinata interrupted him.

"Alright, Neji-nii-san, that's enough."

The temple fell silent.

[Among the new generation of the Hyuga clan...isn't Neji Hyuga, from the branch family, the most outstanding one?]

However, the story told by the person involved seems to be quite different.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression hardened slightly.

She glanced at her somewhat bewildered son.

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head.

He immediately waved back.

A member of the Anbu ninja immediately appeared beside it.

"Go check it out."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

[Whoosh—]

[Then, the ANBU ninja who received the order immediately disappeared.]

Asuma then came to his senses.

[He stared intently in the direction the ANBU ninja had disappeared, his expression serious, lost in thought.]

[Finally, he met Hiruzen Sarutobi's disappointed gaze again.]

Asuma hesitated, then turned away in silence after a moment.

Inside the arena, Moonlight Gale ultimately didn't dare to urge them on.

"Ahem... The match begins."

[As if it were a routine matter, he uttered the word once and then silently left.]

"Hyuga's fate... my fate... and... Hinata's fate..."

[Neji murmured something intermittently.]

He suddenly raised his head.

Hinata remained silent, then slowly raised her slender little hand.

The battle is about to begin.

[Whoosh—]

The next instant, Neji vanished from his spot.

*Snap*

[Clap hands together.]

Neji's pupils constrict slightly.

Then, with a series of "thumps," he took several large steps back.

[Looking at Hinata, whose expression was normal, and who hadn't even activated her Byakugan yet.]

He was momentarily dazed.

It's as if I'm seeing that little girl from before, who suddenly transformed from her former frail self and is now diligently cultivating herself.

【Om—】

Neji's chakra erupts.

[On the other side, Hinata's two small hands also underwent changes.]

Azure chakra surged from his palms.

[Whoosh—]

The two attacked simultaneously.

They used the exact same moves.

However, in this way, the difference in status is immediately apparent!

Compared to the previous fight between Lee and Ya.

The battle between Neji and Hinata was filled with the oppressive feeling of being bound by rules.

[Like Xiao Li and Ya, their style is more like having no method whatsoever, relying solely on speed and power.]

The battle between Neji and Hinata, however, showcased a more rigorous and powerful approach in every move.

Neji acted swiftly.

[Fully powerful.]

However, Hinata, who was opposite him, was indeed superior.

Neji continues to launch proactive attacks.

Hinata passively defends using the same move.

However, the battle was fought on the defensive, with the attacking side forced to retreat steadily.

[Faced with Hinata's impenetrable defense.]

Neji gained absolutely nothing.

【certainly.】

Most importantly...

Both of them are from the Hinata clan.

However, at this moment, Neji had already activated his Byakugan, while Hinata had not yet activated hers, and her chakra had not even leaked out.

[It happened in the blink of an eye.]

After a few breaths, the two exchanged dozens of blows.

Neji was defeated once again.

[His breathing was disordered, and his steps were unsteady.]

In contrast, Hinata seemed like a towering mountain in Neji's path.

A faint, oppressive feeling, emanating from the bloodline and the eyes, washed over me.

Neji's breath hitched.

He knew this was still Hinata's unconscious pressure before she awakened her Byakugan.

[If he activates his Byakugan... the sheer pressure from the Byakugan alone would be enough to give him a run for his money.]

[In fact... Hinata hasn't even used her superhuman strength yet.]

At this moment, Neji realized just how vast the gap was between him and Hinata.

Suddenly.

Neji felt a sweet taste in his throat.

[Although it was suppressed.]

But blood still uncontrollably trickled from the corner of her mouth.

[Look down.]

Several bright red dots appeared on the hands exposed to the air.

[The corresponding locations are all acupoints/meridians.]

[Under the clothes... there's probably quite a bit more.]

Neji felt a chill run down his spine.

[I didn't even realize when Hinata made her move.]

Inside the moon, within the primordial space.

The stunningly beautiful woman with fair skin narrowed her eyes slightly.

"An eye roll comparable to my own?"

"No...it seems...purer than my eye roll?"
