Naruto: Becoming Stronger by Pampering Your Sister

"Take a closer look," Kakashi said, pointing to the field.

In the arena, Xiao Li was seen kneeling on the ground, one hand dangling down, completely unable to move.

Gaara, on the other hand, was protected by a large amount of sand. Although his sand armor was tattered, the damage he suffered was still within a tolerable range. He was still trying his best to activate his ninjutsu.

"Lee, run!" Naruto shouted anxiously.

Because Gaara's sand is getting closer and closer to Lee.

Xiao Li opened his eyes wearily and immediately tried to dodge, but due to his severe injuries, he was unable to move at all.

"How is this possible?! He can still use ninjutsu even after being attacked by the Reverse Lotus!" Rock Lee exclaimed in astonishment.

"Die." Gaara sneered, struggling to manipulate the sand with his right hand, intending to crush Lee.

Just as the sand was about to grab Xiao Li, a wave of air suddenly shattered it.

"What?!" Gaara's eyes widened.

Neji jumped down from the stands and grabbed Lee, saying, "Just admit defeat."

"Neji, I can't be the only one stuck here." Lee forced a smile, clearly unwilling to admit defeat.

Chapter 37 Orochimaru: I have to deal with three Kage-level opponents?

Neji frowned. Rock Lee's failure here was a joke; he wasted his potential and ended up finding the Chunin Exams invalid.

Lee was the biggest loser in the Chunin Exams.

Neji didn't want Rock Lee to die here; he also planned to recruit Rock Lee and Might Guy to his side.

In future great battles, once Rock Lee and Might Guy open the Seven Gates, each of them can take on the Five Kage single-handedly. This is a formidable fighting force, so how can it be wasted here?

"Xiao Li, your body can no longer move."

"No." Lee pushed Neji away, got into a fighting stance, and was ready to continue challenging Gaara.

"Lee, there's no need for that. It's just a Chunin Exam," Tenten called out.

"Teacher Kai, please try to persuade Xiao Li!"

Sha~

At that moment, the sand formed hands again and grabbed at Neji and Lee.

"Gaara!" Hayate Gekko wanted to stop him. If Rock Lee grew up, he would surely become a towering tree in Konoha.

However, given his current special status and the fact that Xiao Li has not yet admitted defeat, he cannot make a move.

Neji frowned; Gaara's killing intent was too strong right now.

"I'm sorry, Lee," Neji said.

"Neji, you..."

Neji delivered a karate chop to the back of Lee's neck, and Lee only had time to cry out before he passed out.

Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to save Rock Lee, and Orochimaru wanted to see Neji's strength, so neither of them spoke up to stop them.

Neither of the two people in charge spoke, so the others naturally wouldn't want to make a fool of themselves.

Neji grasped this point, which is why he met such a blatant end.

Shh~ Shh~ Shh~

The sand came slowly, but with tremendous destructive power. Neji felt a sense of awe for Gaara.

Despite being subjected to the frenzied attack of the Eight Gates Formation, he was still able to retain such great strength, which is something he can boast about in the future.

However, even so, Neji still didn't take him seriously.

Neji took action personally, and Gaara dared not be careless. He struggled to his feet, raised his hands, and the sand transformed into sharp cones.

"what!"

Gaara roared and angrily threw it out. Instantly, there were continuous whooshing sounds as one after another of the cone-shaped projectiles rushed towards Neji.

At this moment, Gaara no longer cared about Lee; his eyes were only on Neji.

"Those sand spikes, and that terrifying defensive power... The One-Tailed Jinchuriki is truly formidable... So, Neji, how are you going to withstand it?"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, calmly watching this scene.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Orochimaru: "To have such strength at such a young age, he's not inferior to Kakashi. Rasa, you've raised a fine son."

Neji stood there quietly, watching Gaara finish his spell.

In an instant, he moved, pushed off with both feet, and vanished from his spot. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Gaara, and suddenly threw a punch.

boom!

Gaara's pupils contracted, and the force of his punch created a large hole in the Sand Shield, slamming into Gaara's face.

boom!

The Sand Armor shattered suddenly, and Gaara tumbled and flew out, embedding himself directly in the wall, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"What?!" Everyone looked utterly astonished.

They had considered all sorts of possibilities, but they never expected that Neji would shatter the Sand Shield with a single punch.

They couldn't even imagine how powerful Neji's punch was.

"Doesn't Neji practice Gentle Fist?"

Is this Gentle Fist? You're telling me this kind of destructive power is Gentle Fist?

This terrifying attack power is probably even greater than Might Guy's powerful punch.

Instantly, everyone turned to look at Hinata, hoping for an explanation.

"I...I..." Hinata was flustered and didn't know how to explain, and suddenly felt a little wronged.

Nobody believed me. Neji-nii is definitely the best to me.

"This is...superhuman strength?" Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru thought in unison.

Tsunade is back?

When did you get back?

How come I didn't know?

Hiruzen Sarutobi appeared calm and collected, but in reality, he was far from at peace.

Based on his understanding of Tsunade, it was highly unlikely that she would accept male disciples.

Therefore, there is only one truth.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze towards Neji suddenly turned strange. This young man really knows how to play games.

Fortunately, Neji was unaware of his thoughts; otherwise, even without Orochimaru's intervention, he would have undoubtedly taught Hiruzen Sarutobi a lesson out of respect for elders and care for the young.

"But this Hyuga Neji, hmm, is a pretty good young man." Hiruzen Sarutobi was quite satisfied.

In his view, age is not a problem; what matters is being excellent.

However, Orochimaru, who was standing to the side, didn't think that way. He was a little confused at the moment, and felt very flustered and terribly weak.

What happened? Tsunade is in the village too?!

Furthermore, according to intelligence, Jiraiya was also present during this period.

He's going to face three Kage-level opponents?

Suddenly, a chill ran through him, and he began to doubt whether he would survive.

No, this won't work. We can't rush the destruction of Konoha; we need to hold off for now.

Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief and decided to take a longer-term view.

Creak~

A soft sound came from the direction of the sound, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound. They saw Gaara slowly getting up from among the rubble and dust.

At this moment, his face was extremely ferocious, and his face and body were covered with cracks, making him look very frightening.

"How could this be? He's actually alright..." Hinata covered her mouth, saying in shock.

Not only her, but all the other young heroes, and even Kakashi and the others, were somewhat surprised.

Is the Sand Armor really that strong? It's already so rotten, yet it can still protect Gaara.

Little did he know, Neji hadn't used his full strength at all, nor did he want to force Shukaku out now.

He couldn't do anything he wasn't sure of; after all, he only had one life.

“In your current state, there’s no way you can beat me,” Neji said.

Gaara was furious, but he wasn't stupid. He knew he couldn't win today. He glared at Lee, thinking that if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have failed twice against Neji.

He will absolutely not let this person go.

Seeing this, Gekko Hayate immediately said, "I love Luo Sheng."

Gaara snorted coldly and turned to walk out.

Choji won the tenth match easily, but with Lee and Gaara's battle already underway, this fight didn't attract much attention.

To ensure the contestants are in peak condition for the final assessment, the assessment will be held a month later.

After saying this, the Third Hokage and Orochimaru left with their respective groups.

"Hehe, Tsunade is back, that's good news," Hiruzen Sarutobi thought happily.

I'm getting old and it's time for me to step down. Jiraiya and Tsunade, hmm, let's see what excuse they have this time, hehe.

At this moment, Orochimaru's face was grim: "Damn Danzo, he didn't tell me such important information. Did he want me to die?!"

Yes, he really wants me dead, you old bastard. Since you're so heartless, I'm done playing this game.

Chapter 38 Neji Who Was Being Eyed

After that, as expected, Naruto ran up to Gaara and started yelling.
