Naruto: Becoming Stronger by Pampering Your Sister

Even her teacher wasn't as important as her Neji brother.

Neji reached out and touched Hinata's hair, saying, "How's your practice going?"

"Ugh!" Hinata's face turned bright red.

After greeting Hinata, Neji's gaze fell upon a graceful figure.

So this is Kurenai Yuhi? It is indeed very beautiful.

Hmm, at this point in time, it seems she hasn't gotten together with that stubble-faced Asuma yet.

Hehe, how could such a gentle, kind, and generous beauty be given to that stubble-faced man?

Just as Neji was sizing up Kurenai, Kurenai was also sizing up Neji.

"A genius of the Hyuga clan..."

"Hmm?" At this moment, Kurenai seemed to suddenly sense something, looked up at the sky, and her expression was somewhat heavy.

That's all for today, dismissed.

After saying that, Kurenai gave Neji a deep look before disappearing from the spot.

Looking in the direction Kurenai Yuhi had gone, Neji murmured, "So fast?!"

"Haha, finally we're disbanded." Kiba Inuzuka hugged Akamaru and spun around in place.

"Wang~wang~"

Although I don't know what Akamaru is saying, he's probably very happy, since training is very tiring.

"Well, since we're all pretty free anyway, how about we grab a bite to eat together?" Tian Tian said casually.

The group exchanged glances, chuckled, and reached a consensus.

"Neji-nii, how did your mission go?" Hinata asked, a little nervously, worried that Neji might get hurt.

"It's nothing, just an S-rank mission," Neji said casually, though he was actually quite pleased with himself.

Even Neji wanted to make a good impression on Hinata.

"Huh? Is it an S-rank mission?" Hinata shook her head, then asked in surprise.

Even Kiba and Shino were extremely envious. People their age had already completed S-rank missions, while they were still doing odd jobs.

"Neji-nii is amazing."

Feeling Hinata's envious, admiring, and adoring gaze, Neji became even more smug and casually recounted his experiences of carrying out A-rank and S-rank missions.

Because Neji's two missions were basically back-to-back and he didn't get much rest, Hinata always thought she had only done one mission.

After learning what had happened, Hinata and the others made up their minds to train hard from now on.

Just as I reached the entrance of the barbecue restaurant, I heard a commotion coming from the alley next door.

"Ouch, that hurts, you brat."

"Damn it, let go of Konohamaru right now!"

"This is... no way." Neji was slightly taken aback as he listened to the argument in the alley. What a coincidence!

"Konohamaru? Isn't he the Third Hokage's grandson? What happened to him?"

"Don't worry about it. Konohamaru has someone protecting him, and someone will step in if things get bad."

"In that case, let's go in," Tian Tian said with a smile.

Everyone agreed immediately and quickly forgot about Konohamaru. Neji watched all this silently, feeling truly sorry for Konohamaru.

However, he also wanted to see Gaara's strength.

"Neji-nii, where are you going?" Hinata asked hurriedly, and everyone else looked at him as well.

"It's nothing, I'll be there in a bit."

Then, Neji strolled out leisurely.

In the alley

"Hey, Kankuro, take it easy, or you'll get scolded," Temari reminded him.

"Don't worry about it. I'd like to test the strength of these Konoha genin anyway."

"Let...let go." Konohamaru kept pounding on Kankuro's arm.

"I said, you bastard, let go of me!" Naruto yelled as he charged forward.

However, Kankuro twitched his finger slightly, and Naruto tripped over his chakra threads.

"What? Is this the strength of a Konoha genin? That's really pathetic," Kankuro said disdainfully.

"Haha, mistake, mistake." Naruto got up, scratched his head, and laughed.

boom!

"Ah, it hurts!"

Sakura punched Naruto on the head from behind: "Hey, stop embarrassing yourself."

"Snapped!"

Just then, a pebble that flew from the treetop suddenly hit Kankuro's hand, causing him a sharp pain.

Konohamaru was thus able to escape.

"Who? Who is it?!" Kankuro roared.

"Is this the strength of your Sand Ninja? Nothing special."

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw Sasuke leaning against a tree, leisurely tossing a pebble.

Looking at Sasuke and then at his own older brother, Konohamaru felt a pang of sadness: "Brother, you're so lame."

"Damn it, why does this guy always steal the spotlight?" Naruto roared inwardly.

Naruto felt embarrassed, and Kankuro also felt he was losing face. Both sides were prepared to teach each other a lesson to show their strength.

Unfortunately, the two were targeting different people.

Naruto had already completed the hand seals and was ready to use his shadow clones to gang up on Kankuro.

Kankuro also untied the crow, preparing to teach Sasuke a lesson with a few black secret techniques.

"Hey, Kankuro, doing this in Konoha is a bit inappropriate, isn't it?" Temari said.

"It's alright, we can just give them the antidote later." Kankuro said nonchalantly.

shhhhhh...

Several sand bullets suddenly pierced the air and attacked. Kankuro and Naruto glanced at them out of the corner of their eyes and quickly retreated.

"Sand bombs, could it be..."

Kankuro and Temari looked on in horror and turned to look at him: "I, Gaara!"

Following their gaze, everyone spotted a figure carrying a gourd on the tree where Sasuke was.

Sasuke frowned: "When did this guy...?"

"His speed is comparable to Kakashi's," Sasuke thought to himself.

"A disgrace to the village," Gaara said calmly, looking down at Kankuro.

“Gaara, they were the ones who started it…” Kankuro explained.

"Shut up," Gaara snapped.

Having said that, he glanced at Sasuke and thought to himself:

"This guy is not simple. He can hit Kankuro's hand so easily with a pebble."

"I'm sorry, everyone," Gaara said, but there was no hint of apology in his tone.

Then, he turned into a cloud of sand and fell to the ground from the tree, saying to Temari and Kankuro:

"Let's go, but don't forget our purpose."

But Naruto, who was determined to steal the spotlight, was not about to let them leave.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique".

Chapter 17 A Brief Encounter

Suddenly, dozens of Narutos appeared densely packed in the alley.

"Konohamaru, watch closely. I can take care of this opponent in no time."

"Fool."

"idiot."

Sakura and Sasuke couldn't help but facepalm. Naruto, that blockhead, had no idea of ​​the difference in strength between the two sides.

"So many!" Kankuro and Temari were somewhat shocked.

It seems this kid isn't entirely useless.

She glanced at Gaara and, before he could get angry, immediately snapped, "Get out of the way!"

This kid is an idiot, but they aren't. If they really make Gaara angry, then we're doomed.

Unfortunately, Naruto was stubborn and wouldn't listen to advice, charging straight ahead.

"cut."

Kankuro quickly untied the crow, hoping to resolve these issues before Gaara got angry.

However, it was too late. A large amount of sand emerged from the sand gourd, transforming into two large hands that instantly eliminated the numerous shadow clones.

"I, Gaara..." Temari hesitated, then quickly dragged Kankuro up to the tree.

She wasn't sure if Gaara would attack them as well.

"Manipulating sand, you seem quite formidable. Let me, the future Hokage, defeat you."

Naruto, undaunted, charged forward, which made Gaara's eyes narrow slightly, somewhat displeased. With a grab of his right hand, a large amount of sand rose into the air, destroying all the shadow clones in one fell swoop.
