Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

"You guys have to help me prove to the Hokage that I'm not a bond-type ninja, and that I just like small animals!"

Neji tossed the dog hook to the ground with a look of satisfaction and addressed the others.

"Then how are you going to explain what happened with Naruto just now, Neji?"

Seeing Neji remain "unrepentant" every day, still filled with a thirst for power, I couldn't help but sigh.

"You're too naive, Tenten. Didn't you see the way Naruto left just now? I can say that I threatened him because of Naruto in that form, but Naruto just misunderstood."

Neji was extremely pleased with himself.

He was referring to Naruto turning into Fury in Nine-Tails Mode.

He believed that, as a fellow Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the Hokage must understand this, and therefore would be able to understand him.

Tenten was desperate. Neji was right. If that was the reason, Neji could indeed turn the tide.

However, just when Tian Tian was in despair, a hero appeared.

"Neji, you're pretty smug, aren't you?"

Kai walked up to Neji with a somber expression.

Along with Guy, Kakashi and Lee also joined the attack.

The two stood on either side of Kai, both staring intently at Neji, which made Neji feel a strange chill.

"Indeed, you can prove your innocence using the method you described, but you've overlooked one thing."

Kakashi spoke up.

"W-What's wrong?"

Neji sensed something was wrong, swallowed hard, but dared not run away.

After all, Kushina's orders were to stay here. If he left, no matter the reason, he would never have another chance to turn the tables.

"The Hokage has gone to deal with the Hyuga clan's affairs and it will take him quite some time to return. You should not have so smugly told us about your plans ahead of time."

Kai picked up where Kakashi left off, speaking to Neji as he slowly approached.

"I was wrong, I'm sorry, Guy-sensei, I was wrong. I shouldn't have used you and threatened you to help me fight Naruto!"

Neji didn't know what the three were planning to do to him, but in order to ensure his safety until the Hokage returned and to ensure that the three would testify on his behalf, he could only admit his mistake and beg for mercy.

Unfortunately, Neji's pleas for mercy were misplaced.

The three of them did not harbor hostility towards Neji because of this incident.

On the contrary, the three of them did it on purpose. Being raided and sealed off during the chaotic battle gave them a unique feeling.

Neji should never have done that—he hooked his hand on a dog.

The three of them had just transformed from bond-type ninjas to fortune-controllers because of Naruto, and had just set their sights on the dog hook.

You could say that this dog hook was their first love, the white moonlight that led them into the world of Fu Rui.

The results of it?

Kakashi and Guy were arguing about who deserved the dog hook, but Neji struck first and snatched it away.

This is tantamount to confronting a minotaur in person!

What's even more hateful is that Neji didn't genuinely like the dog; he only used it as a tool to regain his power!

This is absolutely a trampling and insult to their feelings!

Tolerable or unbearable!

"Neji, the more you want something, the more you lose it. You trampled on your feelings for your dog for power, so we'll now completely destroy your path to advancement and bring you to your senses!"

Like a character in a philosophy video, Kai easily tore off his green leather jacket.

"Neji, turn back now! It's not too late. Guy-sensei will forgive you!"

He patiently and earnestly advised her every day.

"No!!! Teacher Kai, Tian Tian, ​​you don't understand me at all!"

You have no idea what kind of bullying I suffered in the Hyuga clan when I was a child!

Those guys from the main family are inhuman!

They uninstalled my QQ and made me dress up as a girl, calling her Ningzi!

They even secretly dug up my father's ashes and disguised them as protein powder for me to eat!

Konoha Village, what a desolate place this is!

I never want anyone to bully me again!

I'm determined to climb to the top, step by step! I want to be second only to one person, above all others!

Neji screamed hysterically.

The victims of the will to dominate are vividly demonstrated at this moment.

Although Naruto's main body had left, his shadow clone, which had been left in the house, remained silently standing in a corner, watching this scene unfold.

Although the plot had taken some bizarre turns, the audience outside, including Kushina and Kakashi, all breathed a sigh of relief when they reached this point.

Finally, things are back on track.

This showed Naruto the true danger of the Will of Conqueror.

The only question that left viewers with some doubts was whether Neji in the real ninja world was also bullied and whether he had his QQ account uninstalled.

It doesn't seem like it's impossible, does it?

No one has ever witnessed it; the Hyuga clan members never use their Byakugan to check if Neji is online.

"Neji, who says we don't understand? My father Might Guy, who's been a genin for ages, and I have only ever taken on the worst and dirtiest missions since we were kids."

He's always busy fixing clogged drains, changing light bulbs, and cleaning the kitchen for rich women.

Each session often lasts several hours and involves enduring the test of ninja tools.

Why do you think I don't let Tian Tian use wire to control her shuriken? It's because I have a psychological aversion to it!

Why do you think I'm an acorn? It's because I was hurt as a child!

Why do you think I don't want to practice physical skills anymore? It's because back then, I trained my body just to satisfy those rich women, and I never want to train again!

My father sacrificed his life in a mission.

On that occasion, my father was to entertain seven wealthy women from Kirigakure who were visiting Konoha. They were known as the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, each of whom possessed extraordinary skills, and their fighting spirit and patience were astonishing.

Even though Father used all his skills, including his five-day breathing technique which he had practiced for a long time, he could only defeat four of them before finally perishing on the spot.

Kai said, tears streaming down his face.

Neji was stunned.

He never imagined that Mr. Kai, who seemed so natural, had such a tragic past.

He had been thinking that if he were a commoner instead of a disciple of the powerful Hyuga clan, he might have a better life.

It seems I was wrong.

Ordinary people can't escape it either.

"And do you think Kakashi is doing well?"

Kai turned his gaze to Kakashi.

"You might think that Kakashi, being a famous ninja in the ninja world and the father of the powerful White Fang of Konoha, must have had a very good life, right?"

Big mistake!

They deliberately misled Kakashi, who was still young and couldn't distinguish right from wrong, to use the pseudonym "Doll Brother" to perform for rich women. I first met Kakashi during a chaotic battle.

Why is Kakashi wearing a mask?

Because his face was already familiar to the higher-ups in the ninja world, he had to wear a mask in order to sever ties with the past, so that no one would recognize Kakashi as his former doll-like younger brother.

Kai ruthlessly exposed Kakashi's past.
