Naruto: I made you Naruto, and you've become blond?

Chapter 100 Sasuke-kun, you're no match for him! (Please subscribe~)

"Naruto-kun, Neji Hyuga is a year older than us. The difference between studying ninjutsu for an extra year at the Ninja Academy is quite significant. Maybe we shouldn't..."

Yamanaka Ino's delicate and pretty face was filled with worry.

The other companions around, including Kiba and Shikamaru Inuzuka, also had solemn expressions, showing great apprehension towards Neji Hyuga, who had long been known as a genius.

"What? After all these years of spouting nonsense, this is the first time I've heard someone call me a weakling?!"

Hyuga Neji's handsome face was ashen, his white eyes fixed on the blond boy in front of him.

His fists clenched tightly, unwilling to accept the situation, beneath his loose white robe.

This Naruto Uzumaki had a similar fate to mine before, just as tragic, suffering indifference and discrimination from the villagers.

Yet, she was actually accepted as a disciple by Lady Tsunade!

But I am destined to be a caged bird, confined and bound in a cold, lonely iron cage for life, with no hope of freedom for the rest of my life!

When will I be able to break free of this cage and soar freely through the sky?!

Uchiha Sasuke listened to Hyuga Neji's blunt words, his face darkening, and he replied solemnly.

"Hyuga Neji! You don't need Naruto to fight you, I, Uchiha Sasuke, will be your opponent!"

Sakura Haruno's face paled with anxiety as she frantically tried to grab Sasuke Uchiha's arm.

"Sasuke-kun, you're no match for Hyuga Neji!"

"I heard from a second-year student that Hyuga Neji... he's really amazing! Not just ordinary amazing!"

Sasuke Uchiha's face stiffened, his expression darkening, and he forcefully shoved Sakura Haruno away.

"You?" Hyuga Neji chuckled lightly, his tone dismissive. "You should listen to what your girlfriend has to say."

"I vaguely remembered hearing about a first-year student from the Uchiha clan who was taken down by Naruto Uzumaki with a single punch. That's you, isn't it!"

"Such a weak and pathetic opponent is not worthy to be my opponent!"

Uchiha Sasuke's fair and handsome face suddenly turned bluish-purple, as if he were wearing a mask of pain.

Iruka frowned upon seeing this. How could Hyuga Neji be so arrogant? He was even more unruly than the rumored Uchiha...

The second-grade students are so rude!

But seeing that Neji Hyuga's homeroom teacher, Hayate Gekko, and Mizuki were not saying anything, he didn't dare to reprimand them.

"There's an old saying in my hometown, 'Those who know how to adapt to the times...' That's wrong..."

"It's true that a dog that bites doesn't bark!"

Naruto patted Sasuke on the shoulder and whispered something before stepping forward. "I'll do it, Sasuke, you do it."

"Hyuga Neji, by constantly talking about yourself as a so-called strong person, doesn't that just show your lack of self-confidence and confusion?"

"A true strong person doesn't need to prove their strength to others, because that's an objective fact that everyone has to acknowledge."

"Did the First Hokage ever boast about his strength like you do?"

Naruto looked calmly at Hyuga Neji, shook his head, and showed disappointment on his face.

"And you, who pride yourself on being strong, only reveal your deep-seated inferiority and cowardice to me!"

Hyuga Neji was initially stunned, then became enraged, twisting his handsome face into a ferocious grin.

Naruto's words struck a nerve with him, hitting a nerve he had always resented.

No matter how self-important he is, or how much he praises himself as a genius of the Hyuga clan.

He can't escape the fact that he's from the Hyuga branch family, a member of the same clan in name only, but in reality a servant!

The so-called genius and strongman are nothing more than a way for him to numb himself, using the halo of genius to escape the cruel reality that he can never escape in his life.

But Naruto actually pointed out his deep-seated inferiority complex in front of many first- and second-year ninja academy students, especially Hinata Hyuga from the main branch of the ninja academy.

This was like cruelly tearing open the bloody scars he had been trying to hide in his heart in public!

"You bastard!"

"Let me see if your strength matches the hardness of your mouth!"

Hyuga Neji snorted coldly, and suddenly terrifying, interconnected external meridians appeared all around his eyes.

His originally pure white eyes suddenly shone with a sharp light, as if he could see through all the hiding places and movements of his opponent.

Sasuke Uchiha, standing to the side, had a grave expression. Was this the Byakugan, the same Sharingan that was renowned in the village as their own Uchiha clan?!

Ino was also taken aback; it was the first time she had ever seen the Hyuga clan use the Byakugan in combat.

She couldn't help but glance at the two little hands beside her, which were unconsciously twisted together, their little faces full of tension as they stared at Hinata on the field.

I wonder if Hinata looks like this when she activates her Byakugan?

Hyuga Neji swiftly formed opposing hand seals, lunged forward, and unleashed a palm strike.

His figure moved as swiftly as the wind, incredibly fast. Naruto only saw Hyuga Neji's loose robes flutter and sway.

Suddenly, from a tricky angle, a beam of blue and white light shot out and hurtled towards him.

Naruto leaped aside, narrowly avoiding the fierce palm strike.

The latest novel is first published here!

Then came a continuous series of whooshing sounds from all directions.

Naruto could only feel that Hyuga Neji's Gentle Fist and Palm techniques were unpredictable around him, making it impossible to predict the direction and force of his attacks.

But every move was aimed at his vital acupoints.

Naruto's figure flashed and dodged continuously.

His eyes narrowed slightly. The Gentle Fist of the Hyuga clan, perhaps?

It is rumored to be a strange technique that allows one to control the flow of chakra within an opponent's body at will by continuously striking 361 chakra points on their body.

This style of Gentle Fist is completely different from the one Hinata and her sister-in-law Hanabi used when they were seen before.

Hinata and her friends rely more on using the opponent's force against them, combining softness with strength, and their palm techniques are ethereal and unpredictable.

Hyuga Neji's moves are even faster and more unpredictable, with his fist and palm techniques moving and sharp.

The fierce and chilling energy from his palms continued to surge through Hyuga Neji's hands and his entire body.

If it were an ordinary opponent, their defenses would be breached by the fierce palm strike.

Even if it doesn't hit vital acupoints, the powerful chakra vortex covering both palms will still cause the skin to tear and the flesh to be torn, and the chakra in the meridians inside the body will also be thrown into chaos.

He truly deserves to be the genius of the branch family who later independently developed the secret technique of absolute defense, the Rejuvenation Technique.

Seeing Naruto's agile figure, like a butterfly flitting among flowers, narrowly missing the range of his palm strike each time.

For quite some time, he hadn't even managed to touch Naruto's sleeve, let alone hit his chakra points.

Hyuga Neji gradually sensed something was wrong, and his mind became alert and vigilant.

No wonder he can defeat the Uchiha brat with a single punch and even be taken on as a disciple by Lady Tsunade.

But a bitter feeling welled up inside him. This guy was able to escape from danger under Tsunade's protection and bask in the village's sunshine.

He, also a genius, was trapped like a caged bird in a cold, dark cage called family.

He shouted even more angrily and unwillingly.

"Naruto Uzumaki!"

"As Lady Tsunade's disciple, all you do is hide and dodge, completely afraid to face me head-on?!"
