Naruto: Becoming Stronger by Pampering Your Sister

what is that?

Suddenly, a skeleton emerged from Neji's hand, exuding an aura of destruction. Orochimaru instinctively felt that if he came into contact with this thing, he would surely die.

"What? Orochimaru, are you still going to kill me now?" Neji said slowly.

Orochimaru broke out in a cold sweat instantly, slowly putting away the snakes and looking at the boy in front of him with great fear.

"What is that? Shikotsumyaku? The same bloodline limit as Kimimaro's. Is it from the Kaguya clan? But Kimimaro is the last member of the Kaguya clan."

No, although it looks similar, it's not the Corpse Bone Pulse. What is it? If I control this power, even the Mangekyou Sharingan won't be my match.

Orochimaru thought to himself, but he dared not show it. Neji was too close. At this distance, he would definitely not be able to dodge.

"Orochimaru, stand still and don't move," Neji said coldly.

"Stand still!" Orochimaru suddenly remembered the terrifying experience he had just had and resolved to fight back. He could never suffer such humiliation again.

Then, as Neji stepped forward, dozens of large snakes suddenly emerged from his sleeves and lunged at Neji without hesitation.

However, Orochimaru did not kill Neji. Instead, he suddenly darted backward and disappeared without looking back.

That's why he didn't see that after he left, some large snakes also emerged from Neji's sleeves and devoured Orochimaru's snakes.

But Mitarashi Anko saw it, and her beautiful eyes were full of confusion.

As far as she knew, only Orochimaru and she could control snakes, but how did Neji learn it?

After Orochimaru left, Neji didn't chase after him. He wasn't at his peak right now and didn't have enough confidence to deal with Orochimaru.

He had deliberately let Orochimaru leave just now. Orochimaru was cautious, and his every move was within Neji's expectations.

Although we can't fully utilize Orochimaru's abilities, there's plenty of time.

"Orochimaru, Orochimaru, please don't use a man's body next time," Neji muttered.

"Hyuga Neji." At that moment, Mitarashi Anko rushed over.

After Orochimaru left, the power of her cursed seal weakened. Although there were still some minor aftereffects, they were not serious.

"Hyuga Neji, are you alright?" Mitarashi Anko asked anxiously.

Neji waved his hand, saying that although he had used up a lot of chakra, it was nothing serious.

Immediately afterwards, Mitarashi Anko asked, "Why can you control snakes?"

Neji looked directly into Mitarashi Anko's eyes: "Everyone has their own secrets."

"Oh." Seeing that Neji was unwilling to say more, she didn't ask any further.

But now it was Neji's turn to be curious.

"Why don't you ask me why I didn't kill Orochimaru? I had the chance just now."

Mitarashi Anko smiled and asked, "Then will you tell me?"

"meeting!"

Neji said this decisively, which made Mitarashi Anko's eyes widen. Before she could ask, Neji said:

"Because he is still useful to me."

"Hmm." Mitarashi Anko nodded. She had figured it out: if Neji didn't want to say something, he wouldn't say it no matter what.

"Are you going to find the Third Hokage?" Neji suddenly asked.

Mitarashi Anko nodded: "Yes, such a big thing has happened, I have to report it."

Neji knew about this and asked, "Can you promise me one thing?"

"What is it?" Mitarashi Anko asked.

"Don't tell anyone about me."

Mitarashi Anko remained silent. Neji's displayed strength and ninjutsu were truly extraordinary, and in principle, it should have been reported, but...

"Okay, I promise you."

"Oh, one more thing, don't stop the Chunin Exams."

Mitarashi Anko smiled and said, "These are two separate matters. However, I cannot agree to this one. It requires the Third Hokage's consent. Once the Third Hokage learns of Orochimaru's attack, he will definitely stop it."

"If it's alright, just tell the Third Hokage that Orochimaru requested it, and he'll agree," Neji said confidently.

Mitarashi Anko was skeptical, but she nodded nonetheless. To be honest, she thought it was wishful thinking.

After resting for a while, the two left. Mitarashi Anko was going to find the Third Hokage to report what had happened, while Neji was going to search for Orochimaru's whereabouts.

A dark and windy night is the perfect time to do things that enhance one's strength.

On a large tree, Neji flicked his wrist and flung down dozens of small snakes. It must be said that these snakes had limited combat power, but they were quite adept at gathering intelligence and tracking the enemy's movements.

"Find Orochimaru's whereabouts and tell me. Go."

Then, a large number of small snakes scattered in all directions.

Neji wasn't afraid that Orochimaru would discover these little snakes. After all, in his mind, only he and Mitarashi Anko knew this move, so he couldn't possibly suspect him.

At this moment, in the Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi listened to Anko Mitarashi's report with a solemn expression, his brows furrowing even more deeply.

"I see. Orochimaru has already infiltrated Konoha."

For some reason, Mitarashi Anko felt that the Third Hokage wasn't as nervous as she had imagined.

Seemingly sensing her question, Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed and said, "Hmph, don't underestimate Konoha."

"However, his speed was so fast that it caught me completely off guard."

For Sasuke Uchiha, I promised Itachi, so the best way now is...

"Anko, stop the Chunin Exams," Hiruzen Sarutobi said.

At that moment, Mitarashi Anko suddenly remembered what Neji had told her. Although she knew it wouldn't be of much use, she still wanted to try for Neji's sake.

"Lord Hokage, Orochimaru told me that the Chunin Exams must not be stopped, or he will cause a huge scene," Mitarashi Anko said, forcing herself to speak.

Oh no, I'm going to get scolded again. Neji, you'd better make it up to me.

Just as Mitarashi Anko was bracing herself for a scolding, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, "Is that so? Then let's proceed as planned. I'd like to see what he's up to."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Mitarashi Anko's eyes widened in surprise. The Hokage had actually agreed.

At the same time, Neji became increasingly mysterious to her.

Meanwhile, Neji was cultivating on a large tree, waiting for news from Orochimaru.

However, even after searching until dawn, the little snakes couldn't find Orochimaru's whereabouts, but they did find Sakura and the others.

Orochimaru is really good at hiding his true intentions. Oh well, there's always another day.

"It's a good opportunity to go and see how Sakura's transformation is going."

Moreover, he also wanted to conduct a small experiment.

On the other side of the Forest of Death, beneath a hollow tree, Sakura was tending to the unconscious Sasuke and Naruto.

To ensure their safety, she even set up some traps, but it was precisely those crude traps that exposed their whereabouts.

Before long, the Sound Ninja trio found Sakura and the others' hiding place.

"Only one person has the fighting ability? Really, it's such a small matter, and Lord Orochimaru still sent the three of us together," Sak said.

"Don't come any closer. Even if I'm all alone, I'll protect them." Sakura held up the kunai in her hand, her face full of determination.

Every time Sasuke and Naruto fight, she only holds them back. If it weren't for protecting her, Sasuke and Naruto wouldn't have been so badly injured.

Thinking of Neji, Sakura made up her mind that she had to change and could no longer hide in the shadows and cry alone.

Otherwise, how can we catch up with Neji?

"Hmph! You brat, your courage is commendable, but unfortunately, your strength is insufficient," Sack sneered.

Then, he stepped forward, ready to kill Sakura directly, but at that moment, Jin suddenly stopped him.

"Give her to me. Look at that enviable pink hair, I really want to rip it off," Jin said casually, yet her tone was unsettling.

Chapter 28 Sakura: Starting with Cowardice, a Change Begins

"Hehe, then I'll leave it to you, Jin."

“Don’t just stand around, go and kill those two,” Jin said.

"Lord Orochimaru only ordered us to kill Sasuke," Doshin said.

"What does it matter? Killing one is the same as killing two."

Sakura was shocked upon hearing this and immediately threw out five shurikens.

"I won't let you succeed."

shhhhhh...

Five shuriken came hurtling through the air, but the Sound Ninja trio didn't even flinch. Zaku simply stood in front of them, and a burst of air pressure emanated from his palm, deflecting the five shuriken.

Just as Sakura was about to make another move, Jin appeared behind her without her noticing and grabbed her hair.

"You've spent all your time dressing up, haven't you? This is the first time I've ever seen such a weak ninja as you," Jin said disdainfully.

"Sak, hurry up and drag those two half-dead men out and kill them right in front of this piece of trash."

“Okay,” Sak laughed. He had the utmost contempt for Sakura, who was just a pretty face with no skills whatsoever. He thought that if someone like her were left outside the village, she would only die quickly.

"No!" Sakura exclaimed in shock, filled with regret. She was still so useless, unable to help at all, only a hindrance.

"Just watch quietly, you piece of trash. See how your two companions die right in front of you," Jin laughed loudly.

call out!

At that moment, deep in the forest, Neji leaped across, and based on his connection with the snake, he could accurately locate Sakura's position.
