Konoha: On the night of the massacre, I summoned Inuyasha.

Suddenly, Rosa spoke up, her tone carrying a somewhat inexplicable quality.

Recently, he has heard about that brat from his daughter and son many times.

Gaara was easily defeated by his summoned beasts.

"I've heard about that little guy too."

It seems you yourself have acknowledged him as Konoha's hope.

"You actually intend to make such a heavy use of the Uchiha's orphaned son?"

Mei Terumi also scanned Sasuke's face with great curiosity, and then found Yue in the audience.

After all, the Uchiha clan's fan-shaped crest is still very prominent, especially with Yue's incredibly handsome appearance. Even in the eyes of thousands of spectators, he stands out like a firefly in the night or a white crane among chickens.

For a moment, looking at Yue's handsome appearance, even Terumi Mei, who had been aloof in recent years, was somewhat captivated.

She seemed to feel that she was in love.

"After all, I'm already an older single woman."

Terumi meditated.

She then felt a gaze directed at her, causing her to freeze in surprise.

Mei Terumi quickly looked away, her face slightly flushed. Just now, Tsuki had looked back and greeted her with a smile.

"Yue is a good child."

The third generation smiled, a hint of satisfaction in his expression.

Inside the arena, the battle was about to begin.

...........................

"Except for the moon,

Sasuke, you are the opponent I most want to face!

On the arena, Neji looked at Sasuke and had already assumed the Gentle Fist stance.

Neji's thinking was simple: it wasn't that Sasuke was so strong, but rather that the current Sasuke was actually a very low-end version of Yue.

Neji feels a great sense of accomplishment when he fights.

"But, apart from Yue, Naruto and Rock Lee are more attractive to me than you."

Sasuke, however, was already in a position to feign his escape.

He was obviously unaware of Neji's thoughts and assumed that Neji was acknowledging his strength.

"whispering sound."

Neji curled his lip, thinking to himself that the Uchiha clan truly lived up to their reputation as an arrogant clan.

Both Yue and Sasuke have an annoying, punchable look to them.

"Then let me see what makes you think you can look down on me."

Neji's expression gradually became serious; he still valued Sasuke highly.

Although the two rarely clashed, Sasuke's performance was even more impressive than his own during their joint attack on the moon every seven days.

"You'll see."

Sasuke smiled arrogantly, and in the next moment his hands were already forming hand seals.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Instantly, a terrifying fireball, carrying billowing heat, filled the arena and shot directly towards Neji.

"Hmph, you actually used such a weak ninjutsu to test me?"

Sasuke, you're too smug!

Seeing the fireball filling his vision, Neji snorted coldly. Then, veins bulged around his eyes, and he activated his Byakugan, unleashing a palm strike: "Eight Trigrams Empty Palm!"

A terrifying surge of chakra coalesced into a shockwave that struck the Great Fireball Technique directly, shattering the massive fireball into countless flames that scattered in all directions.

"what!"

This immediately startled the audience in the ring, who screamed in alarm.

In a panic, they would scatter and flee.

However, just as the shattered fireball was about to splash into the stands, four purple barriers suddenly rose around the arena, transforming into a protective barrier that shielded the audience.

Four Purple Flame Formations!

This is a barrier that only four elite ninjas can create, capable of withstanding attacks from Kage-level ninjas. It's more than enough to serve as a protective force for the Chunin Exams.

Is this just a test?

The new generation of Konoha has surprised this old man quite a bit!

On the Five Kage's stand, Onoki fiercely tugged at his beard, breaking off a few hairs but not paying attention for a moment.

Soon, a deep jealousy flashed in his eyes.

Konoha Village is a place of outstanding people and abundant resources.

In their own village, at that age, only the troublesome Deidara possessed such a level of fighting power.

Even the black soil is somewhat lacking.

Moreover, that bastard Deidara defected not long ago.

Absolutely outrageous!

"Ha ha……"

The third generation maintained his usual smile, but the smugness in his eyes was hard to suppress.

Zizizi!

Suddenly, a thousand birds sang in unison across the heavens and earth.

Neji stared intently at the flames, then suddenly twisted his eyes.

"You used Chidori right from the start?"

Sasuke, you don't seem to underestimate me as much as you say!

Neji suddenly chuckled and slapped out repeatedly with both hands, sending waves of chakra shockwaves towards Sasuke, who had already charged out of the flames wielding lightning.

"Too much nonsense!"

Sasuke sneered, his eyes transforming into three-tomoe Sharingan, and dodged Neji's Eight Trigrams Palm with incredible speed.

Then, Chidori rapidly closed in on Neji's figure...

Thrust out.

"Return to Heaven!"

Upon seeing this, Neji frowned and began spinning rapidly.

Instantly, chakra erupted from Neji's body, forming an inverted, half-bowl-shaped chakra defense that blocked Chidori.

Once the battle begins, it immediately becomes extremely intense!

The two, who knew each other quite well, didn't test each other too much and went all out from the start.

Chapter 156 Arrival, God Above Gods!

Sizzle...

A piercing sound, like glass being cut, echoed across the massive arena.

Distorted and unpleasant to hear.

Almost all the spectators were watching this amazing battle with wide eyes.

At this moment, Sasuke's Chidori had already pierced into Neji's Genten, seemingly about to break through this absolute defense and pierce Neji's body inside.

However, in the next instant, Sasuke, along with Chidori, was swept away by the spinning force of the Rotation Technique and flung far away.

Finally, it crashed to the ground, leaving a terrifying crater in the earth. Sasuke fell headfirst into the crater.

"Did Neji win?"

"Our Hyuga clan is indeed the most powerful clan in Konoha!"

"Gentle Fist is also the most powerful ninjutsu in the ninja world!"

Beside Hinata, Hanabi had a serious expression, but her eyes revealed excitement.

Hinata also silently clenched her fist and quietly cheered Neji on.

"It's not that simple..."

The Uchiha clan is not weak.

Hiashi Hyuga, standing next to the fireworks, looked solemn. He subconsciously used his Byakugan's 360-degree perspective to glance at the moon not far away.

His expression became even more serious.

There, Yue simply watched the battle unfold with interest, showing no sign of frustration.

"In any case, Uchiha Sasuke is that man's younger brother."

That man was killed not long ago by his junior, Uchiha Tsuki.

These brats are the last glimmer of the Uchiha clan's light, and their brilliance shines through as brightly as ever.

Hiashi Hyuga silently pondered this, then refocused his attention on the arena.

As one of Konoha's high-ranking officials, he also had his own information channels, and naturally learned from Konoha about Yue killing Uchiha Itachi.

Hiashi Hyuga did not believe that Sasuke Uchiha, as one of the last two members of the Uchiha clan, would be defeated so easily.

Even Hyuga Neji, the current head of the Uchiha clan, has impressed him greatly, even...

A lingering, faint fear that I can't shake off.

"Underfoot!"
