Chapter 262 Right and Wrong

The Third Hokage looked at Jiraiya and Tsunade, smacked his lips, and said helplessly, "I have no choice. Minato and Kushina sacrificed themselves, Orochimaru defected, and neither you nor Jiraiya are in the village. If we really fight with Kumogakure, Konoha will definitely suffer heavy losses."

Moreover, the Hyuga clan was already becoming somewhat restless at that time, so I thought I could take this opportunity to teach them a lesson. Look how obedient and well-behaved the Hyuga clan is now.

"So you actually think you did the right thing?"

"Whether it's right or wrong, let time tell."

Tsunade and Jiraiya looked rather grim.

They both knew that the old man was right.

If all three Sannin were in the village, or even just one of them, Kumogakure wouldn't dare to extort them so blatantly.

"If only Minato and Kushina hadn't died back then."

"Yes, in the end, it's all Obito Uchiha's fault. If he hadn't launched the Nine-Tails attack, the village wouldn't have been without high-level combat power and would have had to rely on the old man to hold things together."

After saying that, Tsunade turned her head and stared straight at Obito.

"No, what does this have to do with me? It does have to do with me, but I was young and naive back then."

Obito was completely numb.

Can we blame him for extorting money from Konoha by the Hidden Cloud Village?

Fortunately, he knew that his situation was awkward, and in order not to make things difficult for Lin, he readily admitted his mistake.

"Well, it's good that you know you were wrong. After you finish watching the light screen, give me one million taels as compensation for my emotional distress."

"ha?"

"Haha, Obito, don't listen to her, she's obsessed with money."

"Tch~"

Jiraiya chuckled, and Tsunade didn't insist on making Obito pay her back.

She just wanted to make her stance clear.

She, the medical genius, Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, was not wrong; the one who was wrong was Obito Uchiha.

Obito: Ah, right, right, right!

Hinata trembled with shame after Neji's persuasive talk.

Just then, a burst of silly encouragement came from the viewing platform.

That's right, the one who encouraged Hinata was none other than our King of Talk-no-Jutsu: Naruto Uzumaki.

[Naruto: Hurry up and take him down, Hinata! I can't stand watching this anymore!]

Hinata was stunned by Naruto's encouragement.

Yes, keeping one's word and never giving up is Naruto's ninja way, and it's also hers.

At this moment, her panicked heart finally calmed down, and her expression changed from fear to composure.

Hinata: I don't want to run away anymore. Let's settle this once and for all, Neji-nii-san.

Actually, Hinata's taijutsu skills are not weak. According to the official guidebook, Hinata's taijutsu stat at this time is already five points.

Don't underestimate five o'clock; most of the other cockroaches are still hovering around two or three o'clock.

Even so, Hinata is still far inferior to the greatest genius in the history of the Hyuga clan.

At this time, Neji's taijutsu stat was a whopping seven points, stronger than many Chunin. He beat Hinata like a seasoned veteran riding bumper cars in an amusement park—effortless and enjoyable.

[In just a few rounds, Hinata was severely injured by Neji. Not only were all her pressure points sealed, but her heart was also struck by a single blow.]

Hinata struggled to her feet. Neji, already impatient, hated those who refused to accept their fate.

[At the end of the final round, Hinata coughed up blood and collapsed, while Neji confidently turned around.]

Just when everyone thought the battle was over, and even the examiner was preparing to announce the results, Naruto once again sent a silly encouragement.

[Naruto: Don't stop the match, Hinata!]

"Son, you don't actually want Hinata to get killed by Neji, do you?"

Kushina felt extremely embarrassed watching her silly son randomly encouraging her on the screen.

"Why? Hinata hasn't given up, shouldn't I encourage her?"

Seeing that Kushina was quite speechless because of Naruto, Minato said to Naruto.

"When the difference in strength is so great, and you find that you really can't win after trying your best, admitting defeat is a good choice. After all, this is just an exam, not a life-or-death battle."

"is that so?"

Naruto turned to look at Kakashi, wanting to hear what his mentor had to say.

"Mr. Minato is right. In Hinata's situation, admitting defeat is indeed a good option."

Kakashi still has a deep impression of this match.

In that battle, Neji held nothing back, and in the end, he even revealed his killing intent, wanting to end Hinata's life.

If they hadn't intervened, Hinata might have been killed by Neji.

Fortunately, he wasn't the only one with this idea; Kai, Kurenai, and Hayate all shared the same thought.

Even with all four of them attacking at the same time, Neji was completely helpless.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Based on the outcome, if Naruto hadn't offered a second encouragement, Hinata would have been able to receive treatment sooner and wouldn't have had to endure the pain of standing on the stage to persevere.

"Okay, it seems I was wrong."

Naruto clutched his head in distress.

Even if he didn't think he was wrong to encourage Hinata, since his parents and Kakashi-sensei said so, he would bravely admit his mistake and then spend time figuring out why he was wrong.

This is Naruto's strength.

Admit your mistakes and correct them.

However, many things are neither right nor wrong; it is only from different perspectives that right and wrong arise.

Adults weigh the pros and cons, while children follow their hearts.

Perhaps it will take Naruto a long time to understand the right and wrong in this matter.

Hinata hadn't lost consciousness, and with Naruto's encouragement, she struggled to her feet again.

She'd always been a nobody, barely noticeable, but now that the person she liked had finally noticed her, how could she possibly let him down?

Seeing Hinata get up again, Neji, who was already angry, became even angrier.

At this moment, Neji's eyes flashed with killing intent, and he activated his Byakugan, attacking Hinata once more.

Hinata, already weakened by her injuries, collapsed before Neji's attack could even land.

[Naruto, overcome with concern, was the first to rush over to see his wife.]

Naruto: No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!

Hinata looked at Naruto, who was filled with concern. She wanted to ask him if she had changed at all, but her injuries were too severe, and she fell unconscious before she could even utter a word.

Tobima's office.

Jiraiya looked at the screen with some displeasure and said, "This kid Neji is really something else. It took four Jonin to stop him. He's really showing off." (Jiraiya didn't know that Hayate was a special rank.)

"It's not that he has a big reputation, but that all four Jonin wanted to save Hinata, which is why there was a situation where four people were stopping one person."

After briefly explaining to Jiraiya, Orochimaru continued, "Do you think the major villain we'll be discussing in the second half, named Hiruko, might be one of our classmates?"

"I hope not, but... sigh~"

As Hiruko's friend, Jiraiya naturally didn't want him to be the main villain featured on the screen.

However, there are very few people with the same name in the ninja world.

There is a very high probability that this major villain is their classmate.

"Orochimaru, how about we go visit Hiruko tomorrow?"

"I'm not going. If you want to go, go by yourself."

"Fine, if you don't want to go, then don't. I'll go find him myself."
