"What?!" Orochimaru looked at Kabuto in disbelief. Kabuto had always done his best to complete the tasks he was given, so he had never thought that Kabuto was not one of his own.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and immediately revealed his killing intent towards Kabuto. If that were the case, Kabuto absolutely could not live; he did not want to keep an uncertain factor by his side.

"Lord Orochimaru, please let me finish." Kabuto hurriedly spoke up, explaining the whole story to Orochimaru, which gradually calmed Orochimaru's murderous intent.

"Kabuto's attempt to control me with puppetry is utterly delusional." Kabuto paused, then said, "Only Lord Orochimaru understands me. I have never done anything to wrong you."

"Is that so? Hehehe, I misunderstood you. Kabuto, you can continue to stay by my side from now on." Orochimaru chuckled. With his vast life experience, he was certain that Kabuto was not lying.

However, one must always have a backup plan. Orochimaru secretly rejoiced that he had given Kabuto a half-finished version of the Reanimation Jutsu, which was the most effective way to suppress Kabuto.

"Come with me." Orochimaru led Kabuto to a closed, secret room and said with a sinister smile, "In the arena, the one who wins last will be your vessel."

"Go, Dou."

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru!" Kabuto went inside, and soon after, a series of low growls came from within.

"Become a part of me."

Chapter 66 Assault on the Fifth Hokage!

"What are you so happy about?!"

Tsunade called out to Neji. All the way, Neji had been looking at her with a strange smile on his lips, making her feel very uncomfortable.

and……

Tsunade narrowed her eyes, staring intently at Neji, and asked, "You do indeed have the Perineum Seal, right?"

It would have been better if this hadn't been mentioned. The more it was brought up, the more proud Neji felt, often thinking that he was the embodiment of good luck, that he could have anything he wanted.

After rescuing Tsunade from Orochimaru and Kabuto, the system rewarded him with the [Yin Seal].

Yin Seal is a ninjutsu that achieves instant healing, enhanced attack, and increased speed through fine-tuning of chakra. Skilled users can even use the low output and fine-tuning of chakra within the Hundred Healings Seal to achieve the effects of preserving youth and improving physical functions, keeping the body in its prime.

It can continuously accumulate chakra, which largely makes up for its shortcomings. However, the most obvious thing about this technique is that a diamond-shaped mark will appear on the user's forehead, which cannot be hidden. Fortunately, he also has a forehead protector.

However, even the most meticulous plans can have flaws. Not long ago, when he activated the Yin Seal, Tsunade noticed.

"Forget it, you have so many secrets anyway, so even if there's a perineal seal, it's not surprising."

Tsunade said helplessly that she had already compromised. Neji was impervious to reason, and even she couldn't find out anything from him. As long as she knew that Neji was harmless to Konoha, that was enough.

Seeing this joyful scene, Shizune was very happy. Ever since her uncle and Nawaki died, Tsunade had been depressed, and Shizune had not seen Tsunade so carefree in a long time.

"That's wonderful, Lady Tsunade. If Nawaki and Uncle knew you've let go of your worries, they would be very happy too." Then, Shizune turned to Neji and said, "Neji, thank you."

"No need to thank me for such a small thing," Neji said, waving his hand. "If my lover and family died in front of me, I might not be as good as you."

As Neji spoke, he couldn't help but think of Sasuke, who was bound by hatred and whose life was a complete mess. Fortunately, he still had Naruto as a friend, otherwise his life would probably have been truly over.

"We'll reach Konoha Village once we cross this forest," Shizune said excitedly; she hadn't been back for a long time.

"I wonder how Konoha is doing now."

But suddenly, she stopped talking and stopped in her tracks. Of the three, Shizune was a Jonin, so she could naturally sense the abnormality around her.

Ahead of them, several faint killing intents were hidden very well. They must have been walking in the shadows for many years and had mastered a certain degree of concealment. Even a Jonin like Shizune only noticed something unusual when she got close.

However, Tsunade, as one of the Legendary Sannin, possessed Kage-level strength and noticed it long ago. As for Neji, it was even more outrageous; under his Kagura Mind Eye, these people had already been exposed, and even their locations were clearly revealed.

"Who on earth dares to assassinate Lady Tsunade in the Land of Fire?!" Shizune shifted her feet slightly, shielding Tsunade behind her. This was her duty; even though Tsunade was far stronger than her, she had to protect her.

"Who else could it be but Danzo?" Neji had already activated his Byakugan, staring intently at the group lying in ambush not far away.

"Danzo!" Tsunade was taken aback, then quickly shook her head, saying, "Although I don't approve of Danzo's methods, he is also an elder of Konoha. Although his methods are extreme, overall he still cares about the good of Konoha..."

“What you see is just the surface; you’ve been deceived by him long ago.” Neji sneered and continued, “Danzo has great ambitions; he’s determined to unify the ninja world. Everyone, if not his tool, is an obstacle to him.”

It's laughable that Tsunade and the others still can't see Danzo's true colors and are even trying to exonerate him.

"Neji, Danzo did good for Konoha..."

"Forgive my bluntness, but I don't see any merit Danzo has brought to Konoha. On the contrary, he has made Konoha a mess, and many Kage-level shinobi have been taken down by him." Neji's words immediately silenced Tsunade.

Upon closer examination, Danzo did not actually do much good for Konoha. Although he secretly dealt with some people who were harmful to Konoha, he also forced many of Konoha's top fighters to their deaths.

If Konoha's top ninja were still alive, let alone Orochimaru and Sunagakure, even if the four great ninja villages besieged Konoha, the old man wouldn't have died.

shhhhhh...

Just then, dozens of figures suddenly appeared on the branches in front of Neji and the others. Now that they had been discovered, they no longer needed to hide.

These people weren't wearing ninja village headbands and had black masks on their faces, making it difficult to identify them. However, for Neji, there was no need to prove their identities. At this time and place, everyone except Danzo could be ruled out.

"Danzo, well done! Assassinating the Fifth Hokage, you're going to die this time." Neji sneered.

Water Release: Water Chain Blade!

"Wind Release: Great Wind Cutter!"

Soon, these people moved, unleashing a barrage of ninjutsu at Tsunade.

"Well done! Eight Trigrams - Mountain-Shattering Strike!"

Neji instantly appeared in front of Tsunade, gathering a large amount of chakra in his hand. He then flung it forward, and a white light flashed, transforming into a solid beam of light that instantly annihilated the incoming ninjutsu.

"I'll come and have some fun with you all."

These people are very strong; even the weakest among them is at the Chunin level, and there are five Jonin leading the team. They are a force to be reckoned with, no matter where they are.

However, they chose the wrong opponent. Danzo underestimated Neji's strength and looked down on Tsunade because she suffered from hemophobia. Little did he know that his information was already outdated.

"kill!"

Without a word, Neji leaped forward and charged straight at them. His two chakra swirled, transforming into two imposing and ferocious lion heads, shimmering with a radiant light and exuding an aura of overwhelming power and devastation.

"Graceful Steps and Double Lion Fists!"

Neji reached out and struck a person, instantly blasting them into a bloody mist. The person didn't even have time to scream before they were reduced to blood and gore.

This is all because Neji not only used the Gentle Step Twin Lion Fist, but also incorporated superhuman strength, which is why he had such powerful destructive force.

"Your intelligence was wrong. Today will be a nightmare for your Root organization, but you won't be able to see it."

Neji raised his hand, without any confrontation, and charged forward into fierce combat. None of the Root members were weak, yet now they were being bullied by a young boy and slaughtered mercilessly.

"Scatter!" a Jonin shouted, and quickly got up and left the spot.

Neji glanced at him coldly, his white sword flashing as a beam of light shot out.

Bagua - Mountain-Breaking Strike!

The white light surged forth with a whooshing sound, as unstoppable as a sharp sword, possessing extremely powerful destructive force.

[Author's Note]: There was a minor issue with this chapter, so I've made some revisions.

Chapter 67 He Surpasses Your Imagination

The Jonin's pupils contracted sharply, but without hesitation, he instantly unleashed a counter-attack ninjutsu.

"Fire Release: Blazing Words Technique!"

A surging wave of fire, scorching hot, quickly met the white light.

Chi!

The result was obvious: the white light easily pierced through the flames and annihilated them.

"what!"

With a scream, the Jonin exploded, blood splattering everywhere and limbs flying off.

The Eight Trigrams' Mountain-Breaking Strike can even shatter small mountains, let alone crack a person's body.

"You think you're so clever?" Neji glanced disdainfully at the "fireworks" in the sky, then turned his head and said viciously, "You all saw that, didn't you? This is what happens when you think you're clever."

Stunned by Neji's move, the person who originally wanted to leave suddenly felt a chill run down their spine, broke out in a cold sweat, and their already bent legs trembled, making them afraid to move any further.

They wanted to say, "Is this Gentle Fist? Are the Hyuga clan's ranged attacks really this terrifying?!"

However, just a moment later, they moved. Various shuriken and kunai were attached with explosive tags and flew towards Neji.

Anyway, it seems like this Byakugan kid and Tsunade won't let them go, so they might as well take a gamble.

"Heh, you guys are really stupid, actually using physical attacks against me."

"Bagua Palm Reverses Heaven!"

Neji snorted coldly, and a hemispherical chakra barrier immediately appeared, blocking the shuriken and kunai from entering.

Bang! Clang!

"Now!" The members of the Root Clan shouted, their eyes widening, "Explode!"

boom!

A series of explosions rang out, and mushroom clouds instantly rose from where Neji was.

A terrifying cyclone, carrying rolling heat waves, spread outwards from Neji's center, causing the surrounding trees to rustle and the sea of ​​fire to stretch to the sky. The deafening roar illuminated the surrounding area in a fiery red glow.

"Neji!" Shizune cried out anxiously, wanting to rush forward, but Tsunade grabbed her arm.

"That brat isn't so easy to deal with, just keep an eye on him."

Tsunade smiled confidently. After all, he was the one who pulled her back from the abyss and also possessed both her and Orochimaru's techniques.

Honestly, if Neji were to die like this, she and Orochimaru might as well give up on their relationship altogether.

As the smoke cleared, Neji slowly emerged from the scene, looking neither disheveled nor even bearing a single scratch; his clothes were spotless.

"How...is that possible?! Those are over a hundred explosive tags!!" A Jonin couldn't help but exclaim in shock. Could it be that the defensive power of the Rotation is so strong that even such a powerful explosion couldn't harm Neji?!

"Heh, want to know why?" Neji suddenly appeared in front of him: "Go to hell and think about it."

Then, Neji spat out a sticky, acidic substance that engulfed him like a wave, slowly dissolving him amidst his painful roars.

"The second one."

Of the five Jonin, two were killed by Neji in the blink of an eye. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to Root. Jonin are rare, and even Root doesn't have many. Danzo must be furious.

"However, the angrier he gets, the happier I am."

"Now, it's time to send you on your way."
