it's over?!

Is there really anyone who can defeat that big guy?

The next moment, their gazes shifted to Neji, and they were immediately startled. Could it be...?

"How is this possible?! With that kind of power, how could he possibly defeat that monster?" Sasuke was stunned, unable to believe it.

He would never forget the immense destructive power of Shukaku, which could easily alter the landscape—a power he could hardly imagine.

"How could the difference in our strength be so great? At this rate, how am I supposed to kill that man?!"

Seeing Sasuke's dazed look, Neji immediately knew what he was thinking.

"You are like a frog in a well; you know nothing about power."

Shukaku didn't even use its full strength, and you're already this surprised. So how can you talk about defeating Itachi? However…

You'll soon feel the gap between you and Itachi.

At that moment, Gaara suddenly roared, "Damn it, damn it, I can't lose!"

The moment Gaara saw Naruto, he somehow mustered the strength to stand up quickly and ran towards Naruto.

Yes, he ran towards Naruto.

"You bastard, you still want to fight?!"

Seeing Gaara charging towards him, Naruto roused himself, shoved Sasuke aside, and shouted as he rushed to meet him.

"You bastard!"

Both of them had run out of chakra and could only use the most primitive fighting methods, punching each other again and again, until they could knock the other to the ground.

Good guy!

Could this be the legendary bond?!

Neji looked at the two people hitting each other in front of him with some surprise, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

He had been sickly and on the verge of death, looking like he was about to die without anyone helping him, but upon seeing the other side, he suddenly went all out and fought extremely fiercely.

Most importantly, they were shouting things like "I am the strongest" and "I will stop you."

Well, I have a short temper. I was the one who stopped Gaara just now, so why are you two fighting?

Then, Neji could no longer tolerate it, and he stormed up to a large rock.

After that, he sat there.

Come on, the onlookers are ready.

Neji was very satisfied with the exhilarating and thrilling scene of the two exchanging blows.

Tut tut...

The punches were brutal, the passion between them was... indescribably wonderful.

Suddenly, Neji remembered something and turned to Sasuke, saying, "Hey, your girlfriend's been beaten up like this, aren't you going to help?"

Sasuke blushed, recalling the awkward moment between Naruto and himself in the classroom, and a nameless anger flared up.

"Damn it, who spread this?!"

Sasuke's reaction made Neji chuckle, everything was understood without words.

Soon, Naruto pinned Gaara to the ground, punched him hard, and began his journey of using talk-no-jutsu.

Without background music, the verbal sparring felt strangely cheesy yet awkward.

Although Neji was watching with great interest, unexpected events always happen suddenly.

Chapter 50 The Senju Clan's Disappearance: It Was Actually Because

boom!

A loud bang interrupted Naruto's talk-no-jutsu.

"What happened?" Everyone looked over.

"That's...the direction of the venue, is it the Third Hokage?"

"Such a tremendous impact, the Hokage..."

"No, Lord Hokage will be fine."

"Yes, we must guard this place and absolutely not let them pass."

While the group was chattering and discussing, Neji had already disappeared without a trace.

In Konoha, the Four Purple Flame Formation has been dispelled, but Might Guy and his team are still clearing out enemies in various locations and have not yet arrived here.

At this moment, Tayuya and the other three surrounded Orochimaru, watching Hiruzen Sarutobi warily.

Although he had already used the Reaper Death Seal and was nearing the end of his life, he was still the Hokage, so they dared not be careless.

"Don't just stand there like an idiot, he doesn't have any extra strength left."

"Take me away now!"

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

The four men lifted Orochimaru up and prepared to leave.

Just then, a whooshing sound came from the air, and it landed steadily on the rooftop.

The moment Orochimaru saw the newcomer, his expression changed drastically.

"Hyuga Neji!"

However, Neji ignored him and strode up to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"It's still too late."

Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi's lifeless face, Neji sighed. With Hiruzen's death, he would have to deal with Danzo sooner rather than later.

It must be said that Hiruzen Sarutobi was indeed shrewd and calculating, obtaining a great deal of information from just a few words.

Orochimaru's fear of Neji indicates that Neji is quite strong and that they are not on the same page.

Although many questions remain, it's best not to delve into them further.

"Neji, are you willing to take my place and become the fifth Hokage to protect the village?" Hiruzen Sarutobi said solemnly.

"What?!" Orochimaru exclaimed in surprise, his eyes burning with even greater jealousy.

Back then, he also had a chance to become Hokage, but the old man said that he had impure intentions and rejected him outright.

But now, facing such a suspicious brat, he actually entrusted Konoha to him with peace of mind. Instantly, Orochimaru's gaze toward Neji became even more hostile.

Even Neji was taken aback when he heard Hiruzen Sarutobi's words.

This old man has such a bizarre way of thinking; how did he come up with the idea of ​​inheriting the Hokage position?

Before he could answer, Orochimaru said meaningfully:

"Hehe, Sarutobi-sensei, you really have a keen eye for talent. This kid is no simpleton. He recognized me back in the Forest of Death and also realized that I was impersonating the Kazekage long ago."

"Not only that, his abilities are something I'm quite wary of. Entrusting Konoha to him is indeed a good choice."

The implication is that this kid, a mere genin, has so many secrets; shouldn't you hurry up and consider it?

As expected, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression changed upon hearing Orochimaru's words.

"Hehe, Neji, not bad. I can rest assured now that I'm handing Konoha over to you."

I never expected Neji to be so outstanding. Hiruzen Sarutobi is overjoyed.

At this moment, Orochimaru was completely bewildered. Why wasn't this old man following the expected pattern?

Actually, he misunderstood Hiruzen Sarutobi. After his death, only Danzo, Tsunade, and Jiraiya in Konoha possessed Kage-level strength.

However, Danzo is a wicked man who colludes with Orochimaru, and these things cannot be hidden from him. Therefore, Konoha must not be handed over to him.

Jiraiya's personality was really not suited to be Hokage, and besides, he had no interest in that position.

As for Tsunade, she had long been disappointed with Konoha, no, with the Hokage.

Neji is so young, yet he can threaten a Kage-level ninja, which is enough to demonstrate his potential. Konoha absolutely cannot lose such a genius.

Moreover, Neji is calm, collected, and ambitious, making him excellent candidate to become Hokage.

Even if Neji had ulterior motives, would he really harm his own interests by giving him all of Konoha?

It must be said that Hiruzen Sarutobi was indeed a competent Hokage; even on his deathbed, his mind was filled with thoughts of Konoha.

"Well, Neji, are you willing to protect Konoha in my place?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked again.

"I……"

Neji was about to answer when he was interrupted again.

"Neji, you probably don't know what kind of person this old man is."

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's already pale face lost all color.

Orochimaru glared at Hiruzen Sarutobi and slowly said, "Back then, the Konoha higher-ups conducted a series of human experiments in order to recreate the First Hokage's Wood Release. I believe this fact couldn't be hidden from you."

"But do you know what happened after the teacher banned the experiments?"

What's going on? Isn't it just that Danzo is secretly continuing this experiment?

But Neji felt that things weren't so simple, so he looked at Orochimaru and gestured for him to continue.

"Heh." Orochimaru sneered, "But that ban is just a facade. Behind the scenes, Master and Danzo still haven't given up on this experiment."

"Furthermore, with his tacit approval, Danzo not only dug up the tombs of the First and Second Hokage and used their corpses for experiments, but also quietly captured all the members of the Senju clan except for Tsunade."

"Wait!" Neji called out.

"Didn't the Senju clan already accept the second patriarch's orders to conceal their surnames and marry other people?"

"Heh, Neji, you're still too naive," Orochimaru laughed.

"They took advantage of this to wipe out the entire Senju clan!"

"When the Senju clan concealed their surnames and married other people, the whereabouts of all of them were already known to the teacher and the others."
