Naruto: Becoming Stronger by Pampering Your Sister

Is this the kid Lord Orochimaru mentioned?

This kid is indeed extraordinary. Kabuto gave Neji a deep look before leaving.

"Since no one is leaving, I hereby announce that the third preliminary round of the exam begins," said Moonlight Gale.

"The first match is between Uchiha Sasuke and Akado Yoshihiro."

Sasuke scoffed and slowly walked into the arena. In his eyes, this opponent was just a nobody.

Neji stood on the stage, looking at the two on the field, his eyes deep in thought. The order of the battles was probably still the same.

Then, he looked at Hinata. It seemed there was no way to avoid it. He hoped the little girl would admit defeat.

Shortly after, Sasuke defeated Akado Armor with a single Lion's Barrage, barely winning the battle.

"Hmph!" Sasuke was very dissatisfied. He had actually had a hard time fighting such a small fry. This was undoubtedly a disgrace to the Uchiha clan.

Kakashi noticed Sasuke's unusual behavior and took him away. After they left, Neji glanced in the direction Orochimaru was and saw that he had indeed left.

But he quickly regained his composure; he saw no need to interfere.

Everything was progressing smoothly, and soon it was his turn to take the stage.

What's meant to happen will happen.

When Neji and Hinata entered the arena, all eyes were on them.

It's rare to see a battle between members of the Hyuga clan, one from the branch family and the other from the main family.

Most importantly, Neji is hailed as a genius of the Hyuga clan, with a great reputation, while Hinata, although the eldest daughter of the main family, is quite weak.

Coincidentally, Hyuga Neji harbored animosity towards the main branch of the family, and many people looked at Hyuga Hiashi in the arena, revealing inexplicable smiles.

Hiashi Hyuga dismissed this with disdain, thinking these people were too naive.

On the field, Hinata looked at Neji on the opposite side with some nervousness.

"Neji-nii-san, I..." Hinata clenched her fists. How could she possibly fight Neji-nii-san?

Moonlight Gale glanced at the two of them indifferently and said, "The match begins."

However, Hinata was already caught in a mental struggle and didn't hear Hayate Gekko's words at all.

"What should I do? If I fight back, will Neji hate me? But if I don't fight back, will Neji look down on me?"

Hinata was in a state of panic and unable to make a decision, while the people on the stage were stunned.

"What's wrong? Why haven't you started yet?"

"Hinata, what are you standing there for? Go!"

Neji frowned. If this continued, the fight wouldn't end before dark. Just as he was about to make a move, he noticed a figure enter the high platform.

It was Orochimaru, but at this moment he had disguised himself as the Fourth Kazekage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately stood up to greet him, which was the most basic courtesy.

"I didn't expect the Kazekage to arrive so early," Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile.

"Heh heh, I also want to see the future of the village," Orochimaru said sinisterly.

"I see."

After exchanging a few polite words, the two sat down and began watching the match below.

Throughout this time, Orochimaru's gaze lingered on Neji.

"Despite being a member of the Hyuga clan, you possess abilities similar to those of the Kaguya clan, including the ability to control snakes. Hyuga Neji, I'm becoming more and more interested in you."

Neji withdrew his outstretched hand. Orochimaru had arrived so early, most likely because of him.

"Want information about me? As you wish."

Neji stood on the field, and his gaze toward Hinata suddenly turned serious.

"Hinata, I never expected that we would meet. It must be fate."

"Neji-nii-nii..."

"Hinata, you are too weak. That's why you can't even beat Hanabi, who is five years younger than you."

"What?!" Hinata was stunned, and said with a slightly aggrieved pursed lips, "Neji-nii-san, why?"

"Hinata, your submissive attitude is seen as arrogance and disdain as a member of the main family in our eyes."

Neji assumed a fighting stance, his hands surging with a large amount of chakra as he attacked Hinata.

Swish!

Neji arrived in front of Hinata almost instantly, forcing Hinata to use Gentle Fist to block Neji's attack.

It would be unwise to take Gentle Fist head-on, and as members of the Hyuga clan, they understood this even better. At this moment, they could only do their best to change the opponent's attack trajectory.

"You are a coward. You have no chance of winning against me. For someone like you, giving up is the only thing you should do."

"Neji-nii-san, I..."

Hinata was immediately shocked, not understanding why her usually kind brother Neji would say such a thing to her.

“As the eldest daughter of the main family, you are too weak. You simply do not have the strength that matches your status.”

Neji suddenly changed his move, using his right arm to block and push Hinata away.

"See that? This is your strength. Your cowardice prevents you from making a move. Does someone like you deserve to be the eldest daughter of the main family?!"

Hiashi Hyuga sat on the platform, watching everything below, without showing any intention of stopping it.

"Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms".

boom!boom!

Neji first struck Hinata's thirty-two pressure points with heavy blows, then followed up with a whip kick that swept Hinata away.

"Still not admitting defeat?" Neji frowned.

Hinata got up, feeling slightly weak, and the powerlessness in her body made her dizzy.

"Neji-nii, I will not admit defeat. I will prove myself and earn your approval."

"Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms".

Hinata charged forward fearlessly, her chakra flowing from her palms as she struck Neji repeatedly. However, some of her pressure points were damaged, making her movements somewhat clumsy.

Neji shifted his feet slightly and turned his body slightly, easily dodging Hinata's attack.

"What?!" Hiashi Hyuga was somewhat surprised that Hinata had actually learned the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.

He was unaware of this progress.

call out!

Neji leaped backward, his right palm facing forward: "Eight Trigrams Empty Palm".

Chapter 33 Lee vs. Gaara

In an instant, a wave of energy rushed towards Hinata.

Hinata stood there, her eyes filled with determination, and chakra danced in her palms, faintly appearing in needle-like shapes.

"Guardian Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"

boom!

"what?!"

After using this move, Hinata actually managed to block the shockwave of the Eight Trigrams Palm.

"What is that? Rejuvenation? No, it's another kind of absolute defense!" Hiashi Hyuga exclaimed in shock.

Hinata brought him so many surprises today. He never expected that his daughter, whom he had previously neglected, would create such a taijutsu technique without a word.

Finally, the shockwave dissipated, and Hinata survived. Although it had consumed a lot of chakra, Hinata had succeeded.

"Neji-nii, can you accept me now?" Hinata asked weakly.

Neji nodded in satisfaction.

Hinata smiled, and after receiving Neji's affirmation, she weakly collapsed backward.

But at that moment, Neji suddenly appeared behind Hinata and helped her up.

"Referee, you can make the decision now."

"Neji Hyuga wins!" Hayate Gekko announced.

As the sound of "Moonlight and Gale" faded, the system's voice also rang out.

"The host competed against Hinata Hyuga and received the reward [Eight Trigrams - Mountain Breaker]."

Eight Trigrams Mountain-Shattering Strike: A full-force strike using chakra, resembling a giant laser beam, with immense power capable of instantly destroying a small mountain.

It's a good move, but Neji prefers to improve his physical abilities rather than rely on these powerful techniques.

From the stands, Orochimaru chuckled, but because of his mask, no one could see his expression.

"Hyuga Neji seems like a good vessel, what a pity..."

Unfortunately, he had already witnessed Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan, and just one glance was enough to extinguish any will to resist him.

That is the ultimate power in the world.

Neji's power is strong, but unfortunately, it's still quite different from the Mangekyou Sharingan.

If Neji knew what he was thinking, he would definitely laugh at him mercilessly, because Orochimaru knew nothing about power.

"Next match: Rock Lee vs. Gaara!"

Just as Orochimaru was sighing, the ninth match was about to begin.

Back on stage, Neji looked at the excited Lee and didn't know what to say, so he just patted him on the shoulder.

The ultimate battle of the Chunin Exams is finally about to begin.

"Keep it up, Xiao Li," Tian Tian said.

"Li, go and fully unleash your youth!" Kai suddenly jumped to Li's side, revealing a set of bright white teeth.
