Hinata lowered her blushing face, her two index fingers tapping together incessantly, her heart filled with both nervousness and anticipation. When she heard Neji's words, she felt a mix of disappointment and relief.
"Ah...it's nothing, Neji-nii-san. Kurenai-sensei asked me to find you," Hinata said hurriedly. She knew her teacher must be getting impatient waiting all this time.
"Looking for me?" Neji asked, puzzled. Why would Kurenai Yuhi be looking for him?
Forget it, I'm not going to hurt myself anyway.
He immediately agreed, "Let's go."
On the training field, Kurenai Yuhi was training Shino and Kiba.
"Why hasn't Hinata come back yet? It's already noon," Kurenai Yuhi asked, puzzled.
"Could something have happened?"
Many people covet the Hyuga clan's bloodline limit. Last time, someone was almost kidnapped by the Hyuga clan, and even in Konoha, safety is not guaranteed.
"That shouldn't be the case. If something had happened, there would have been plenty of news. Could it be that Hyuga Neji didn't want to come?"
After much thought, this explanation seems the most reasonable. The Konoha leadership knows there's a significant conflict between the Hyuga clan's main and branch families, especially between Neji, who lost his father…
She asked Hinata to go find Neji because Neji was quite affectionate towards Hinata during their last meeting, and she felt that their relationship was alright.
Even so, she didn't have much hope for this.
Just as Kurenai Yuhi was frowning and deep in thought, Neji and Hinata arrived at the training ground.
Chapter 21 If you guys can hold on, I'll admit defeat.
"Oh ho! You're finally back, Hinata, Neji," Kiba greeted.
Neji nodded as a greeting, then turned to ask, "Kurenai-sensei, you wanted to see me?"
"Mm." Kurenai Yuhi nodded and said:
"You know about the Chunin Exams, right? The teacher asked you to come here today because there's something he wants to ask you."
"What is it?" Neji asked.
At this point, Kurenai Yuhi said somewhat shyly, "I'd like you to practice with Hinata and the others."
They want me to practice with them?
Neji glanced at Kurenai's expression and immediately understood.
The Chunin Exams feature many powerful ninjas, so we must be careful. If Kiba and the others become too arrogant, they might be in danger.
Kurenai Yuhi is trying to use me to suppress them.
Neji had no desire to attack the others, except for Ya and the others.
So, if you had the power to challenge a Jonin, would you take pride in bullying a Genin?
Obviously not. Besides, Neji knows perfectly well that Hinata and the others will not be in danger during this exam.
But this was Kurenai's request, and it wouldn't be right to refuse her directly.
"Fine, I'll just show her my strength then," Neji thought, and readily agreed.
"Okay, Ms. Kurenai Yuhi."
Seeing Neji agree, Kurenai Yuhi breathed a slight sigh of relief. After all, they were her subordinates, and she had actually asked someone else to suppress them, which made Kurenai Yuhi feel a little awkward about speaking directly.
But recently, Ya has become too excited and arrogant, and she is worried that Ya will cause trouble for the team.
Asking Neji for help was a last resort, but fortunately Neji understood what she meant.
"Let's not delay, let's begin now," Kurenai Yuhi said with a smile.
"So, which of you three wants to fight Neji first?" Kurenai Yuhi turned to look at Hinata and the other two.
"No need, Kurenai-sensei, let them all come at me together." Neji suddenly spoke up, saying arrogantly.
"Ok?"
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Neji, filled with confusion, anger, but mostly dissatisfaction.
"Neji, are you serious?" Kurenai Yuhi asked.
"Correct."
Kurenai frowned, feeling that Neji was too arrogant and displeased, but she didn't know what to say.
"Neji, are you sure?" Kiba spoke, his eyes dark. He knew he was no match for Neji, but Neji's attitude was far too dismissive of them.
"Neji-nii-san..." Hinata was puzzled, not understanding why her Neji-nii-san would do such a thing.
That would offend Kiba, Shino, and Kurenai-sensei.
Shino didn't say anything, but the constant buzzing of the insects revealed his inner thoughts: he was very unhappy.
A moment of silence fell.
At this moment, Neji spoke again: "A look."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Ya asked.
"If you can withstand even one look from me, I'll admit defeat in this practice session," Neji said slowly and deliberately.
"Hyuga Neji, you've gone a bit too far!" Kiba shouted.
They were unhappy that Neji was going to fight three people at once, but they didn't say much. No one had ever seen Neji's strength, but he could perfectly complete an S-rank mission, so he must be very strong.
So, they were just dissatisfied, thinking Neji was arrogant, but now, Neji was completely humiliating them.
You think you can take them down with just a glance? Are you kidding me? Can't they even withstand a single look?
This is blatant humiliation!
Even Kurenai Yuhi couldn't stand it anymore: "Neji, please respect your opponent."
"Kurenai-sensei," Neji called out, "would you choose to humiliate them during training, or to lose your life on the battlefield?"
Kurenai was stunned and speechless.
"Enough, Hyuga Neji, it was just a look! Come on!" Kiba yelled.
Neji smirked: "Kurenai-sensei, you should move over there too. I'm afraid I'll disturb you."
Kurenai was even more dissatisfied. Did Neji think that he couldn't handle it either?
But she didn't say anything more and stepped aside.
"Is it okay now?" Tooth exclaimed.
"Okay."
"Pressure!"
The next moment, Neji activated his Byakugan instantly, and an indescribable, terrifying wave swept over, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were splitting, its aura overwhelming the eight directions.
"This, this is..." Kurenai Yuhi's beautiful eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
At that moment, in Kiba and the others' eyes, Neji was like an insurmountable mountain, like a god. They lost their fighting power almost instantly and collapsed to the ground.
Even Kurenai Yuhi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat under this oppressive aura, frozen in place.
But she was only affected by it.
Even after Neji withdrew his oppressive aura, they still couldn't believe what they were seeing.
"Good, good, not even in the same league as you," Ya said hoarsely.
"Neji-nii-san..." Hinata's eyes were filled with longing. She didn't realize that her Neji-nii-san was already so amazing.
"Cough..." Shino braced himself on the ground with both hands, his chakra in disarray, and insects flew everywhere.
But what they didn't know was that Neji had already held back. Although his current strength wasn't very high, with this move, he could completely intimidate elite Jonin.
However, this move puts a lot of strain on the white eyes.
"As expected, we still lack the strength."
"come on."
Neji waved his hand, turned around and walked out. He had finally obtained so many ninjutsu, and he couldn't waste his time. Practicing them properly was the important thing.
The group watched Neji's departing figure in silence for a long time.
Time flies.
Over the past few days, Neji has been practicing continuously and has mastered three techniques: Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique, Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet, and Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall.
Although he has mastered the Intimidation Technique, the All-Killing Ash Bones, and the Psychic Orb, these are still too much for him to handle with his current strength.
The Psychic Ball is fine, but the Intimidation spell puts a significant strain on the Byakugan, preventing it from being activated for a period of time afterward. Of course, this is because Neji's current strength is probably not enough.
The All-Killing Ash Bones technique consumes the most chakra; even if he exhausts all his chakra, he can only release it twice, so it cannot be used lightly.
Neji met up with Tenten and Lee early on, and together they headed to the exam location.
Five days ago, Might Guy found Neji and the other two and handed them their Chunin Exam application forms.
Five days later at 3 PM, meet in classroom 301 at school, that's what Matt Kai said.
Besides Neji, Tenten and Rock Lee also take this Chunin Exams very seriously, as it will be their first step towards success.
Only Neji knew that, apart from Shikamaru, no one else had been promoted to Chunin in this Chunin Exam.
Even Shikamaru was promoted because he demonstrated outstanding abilities in chasing Gaara.
However, this suited him perfectly, as he hadn't originally intended to be promoted.
Chapter 22 The Strongest Genin in Naruto
To be honest, as long as you're strong enough, there seems to be no difference between a genin and a kage; the only difference is the number of missions you can take on. But isn't the point of taking on missions to earn money and gain prestige?
Neji didn't care about prestige; he just wanted to survive. As for money, well, that was a joke. After transmigrating into the Hyuga clan, he wasn't afraid of not having money.
"There must be many powerful figures in this Chunin Exams. My youth is burning bright."
Lee clenched his fists and said excitedly, "However, my biggest target is still you, Neji."
Neji was speechless at this: "Sigh, this is really troublesome."
