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

Chapter 98 Sasuke: Naruto, I'm here to help you!

The atmosphere at the training ground became tense.

Hinata Hyuga lowered her head timidly, like a criminal being judged.

Her chubby, round face gradually lost its color and turned deathly pale, her delicate little hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes.

She didn't know why Neji, who had been close to her since childhood and was like an older brother to her, suddenly became distant from her overnight.

They became like strangers, and even gradually started speaking coldly and sarcasticly to each other whenever they met.

Even during regular training matches with him in his family, his attacks were swift and forceful, showing no mercy.

Wearing a loose white combat uniform, Hyuga Neji had a cold expression and his words revealed undisguised contempt.

"Hinata-san, you are not worthy of inheriting the burden of the main family. You should recognize your weakness as soon as possible!"

"It's best to entrust the future of the main family and the Hyuga clan to your younger sister, Hanabi!"

Hinata's pure white eyes welled up with a thin mist of tears, her eye sockets were slightly red, and her lips trembled as she uttered a sound.

But Naruto, who was closest, overheard some faint whispers, something like Hinata saying she would work hard.

Seeing this, Hyuga Neji shook his head with even more disdain.

Yamanaka Ino, who was standing nearby, had already realized what was happening.

The older boy in the white training uniform in front of her had a similar Byakugan to Hinata, and they were having a familiar conversation.

In addition, there have always been rumors at the Ninja Academy that there is a super genius from the Hyuga branch family in the second year.

Ino took two steps forward, glaring at Hyuga Neji, who was about to turn and leave, with some displeasure.

"That's going too far! You're Hinata's cousin, how can you say something like that to her?"

Hyuga Neji glanced sideways at Yamanaka Ino, flicked his wide sleeves, and said calmly.

"And who are you? Hinata's new friend?"

"You..." Yamanaka Ino was speechless, overwhelmed by the other party's cold and arrogant aura.

Especially with the other party's indifferent expression, coupled with his age and height advantage, standing in front of me like an iron tower, he brought a faint sense of oppression.

Ino felt uneasy, but she still mustered her courage and said indignantly,

"I am Yamanaka Ino, Hinata's... friend..."

"If you truly care about Hinata, shouldn't you offer her some guidance and help her train to improve her strength?...

"How could this be..."

"Heh!" Hyuga Neji raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, then interrupted Yamanaka Ino with a cold laugh.

"So you're also the eldest daughter of the Yamanaka family."

"People like you, born into a superior position, will never understand that everything a person possesses at birth is already predetermined!"

As he spoke, Hyuga Neji reached out as if enduring unspeakable pain, touching his forehead which was wrapped in layers of white cloth.

"This is a destiny that no one can resist, a destiny predetermined from birth!"

His once delicate face suddenly became terrifying and grotesque, and ugly veins suddenly burst forth around his pure white eyes.

A fierce and surging chakra vortex swept outwards from his body like a wave, causing his white robes to billow even without wind.

A light blue chakra aura surged through the air, making a hissing sound.

This amount of chakra and the sheer scale of his power far surpasses the level of students at the Ninja Academy.

Yamanaka Ino was startled by his sudden change, her face turned pale, and she took a few steps back in fear.

Hinata was so frightened by the unfamiliar and angry Hyuga Neji that her body trembled involuntarily.

Her little hands clasped together helplessly, and she mumbled something.

"Ne... Neji-nii-nii..."

"That's going too far, Hyuga Neji."

Naruto frowned, took two steps forward, and glanced at Hyuga Neji, whose face was contorted with rage.

There are almost no completely evil villains in the original Naruto manga. Even the Akatsuki organization with its red clouds and black robes was for the sake of world peace.

Neji Hyuga, who appeared as a "villain" in the early stages of the story among the twelve main characters and exuded a strong sense of intimidation, was actually kind-hearted.

However, under the long-term oppression of the Hyuga main family and the sacrifice of her father for the main family, she gradually went to extremes in her thinking.

Realizing he was powerless to change his situation and fate, he developed a negative hatred for the main branch of the family, which led to Hinata's downfall as well...

Therefore, he did not intervene when Ino and Hyuga Neji started arguing.

But now Neji Kyouka is clearly losing control of his emotions and going berserk.

Hyuga Neji was shocked to see that the blond-haired boy who had been hiding silently to the side dared to stand in front of him.

His face was gloomy, and his tone was unfriendly.

"And who are you?" he sneered again, sneering.

"Never mind, the name of the weak is irrelevant."

The latest novel is first published here!

"Still so melodramatic, Hyuga Neji?"

Naruto looked at Hyuga Neji, who was dressed in white robes and had long, flowing hair, and shook his head, a clear look of disappointment on his face.

"All they ever talk about is fate, the strong, the weak, and so on?"

"Don't you know that only truly weak people would utter such pointless words?"

The weak? Am I the weak?

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Neji's pure white eyes narrowed sharply, and he clutched his stomach, bursting into a fit of rage and laughter.

As an unparalleled genius of the Hyuga clan, even Hinata's father, the head of the Hyuga clan, had to praise him, saying that his talent surpassed Hinata's!

Aside from Itachi Uchiha a few years ago, who in Konoha has been his match in the last decade?!

He was confident he could fight even some of the Chunin teachers in the school, let alone the older students.

They had been secretly watching Naruto's movements from not far away.

Hesitant about how to challenge him again without tarnishing his clan's reputation, Uchiha Sasuke naturally noticed the situation over there.

Looking at Hyuga Neji, whose aura was gloomy and whose body was surrounded by a massive vortex of chakra, with Naruto poised to strike, Neji was suddenly shocked.

There are more experts?!

This amount of chakra far exceeds his own!

He originally thought that, apart from Naruto Uzumaki, he was practically invincible at the ninja academy...

So brave?! Whose general is this?!

My gaze was fixed on those clear eyes and the bulging, crisscrossing veins around them. Was it that genius from the Hyuga family in the second year?

Although Naruto Uzumaki is despicable, he can still be considered a half-friend.

How could we just stand by and watch him get bullied by older students?!

He hesitated for only a moment, then stepped to Naruto's side and whispered,

"Naruto, don't be afraid."

"I'll help you!"

Naruto looked in surprise at Neji Hyuga, who was suddenly standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

Sasuke Uchiha, whose fair and cool face was full of seriousness and solemnity, was somewhat stunned.

Seeing this, Hyuga Neji raised an eyebrow, chuckled, and swung his palms, releasing a surge of energy.

"Do you think a few weaklings banding together can shake a strong person like me?"

At that moment, Iruka, whose face was scarred, rushed over to stop him.
