Naruto: Becoming Stronger by Pampering Your Sister

"You trespassed into Root without permission and even killed two ninjas guarding Root. Hyuga Neji, even if you are a genius of the Hyuga clan, you won't be leaving today," Yamanaka Fu said coldly.

When Neji confronted Danzo, he and Aburame Torune were also present, so they were naturally very familiar with Neji. He could take down so many Root ninjas in the blink of an eye. Neji's strength cannot be measured by his age. Even they had to be careful when dealing with him.

"Whether I get out or not is none of your concern. However, I don't think you'll be able to get out."

Neji suddenly attacked, appearing in front of Yamanaka Fu in an instant. His chakra condensed into a sword in his hand, and he slashed down fiercely at Yamanaka Fu.

Chakra Scalpel!

"What?!" Yamanaka Kaze's pupils contracted, and he instinctively tried to dodge, but it was too late.

scoff!

Blood splattered everywhere, a severed arm fell off suddenly, and what was etched in the eye of the mountain was Neji's pair of murderous eyes.

"Wind!" Aburame Torune shouted, then roared angrily, "Hyuga Neji, how dare you lay a hand on me!"

"You idiot." Neji glanced at Aburame Torune and cursed. Now that the fight has started, there's no reason to stop.

Neji's hands moved without stopping, and two lion heads suddenly appeared in his hands, exuding a fierce aura. His chakra gradually turned into a deep blue, and the overwhelming destructive power swept everything away, isolating everyone else and leaving only Neji and Yamanaka Fu.

"No one can save you! Gentle Step Twin Lion Fist!" Neji said coldly, and then two huge lion heads swallowed up Yamanaka Kaze.

"No!" Yamanaka Fu shouted, but it was all in vain; the gap between him and Neji was too great.

Neji's overall strength is only that of an elite Jonin, but that's only because of his chakra and experience. If it really came down to a fight, he could already hold his own against a Kage-level opponent, which is why he dared to come looking for Danzo.

boom!

The mountain wind was instantly shattered, with debris scattered everywhere and blood flowing. In just a moment, Neji killed an elite member of Root, leaving the other members of Root stunned.

It sounds nice to say there's no past, no feelings, no future, but when it comes to a life-or-death moment, who would remain unmoved?

"Heh." Neji sneered. The Yamanaka clan's Mind Transfer Technique was very troublesome. When enemies were all around, even a momentary lapse in concentration could be fatal. Therefore, he had to deal with Yamanaka Fu first.

Whoosh...

At that moment, dozens of hidden weapons came flying through the air. Without saying much, the Root ninjas moved. Neji had already made his stance clear and told them his purpose through his actions: this person could not be allowed to live.

Whether it was for Danzo or for himself.

"It's no use!" Neji suddenly spun around, and a hemispherical chakra shield surrounded him, keeping out the incoming projectiles.

"Return to Heaven! Physical attacks are useless against him. Switch to ninjutsu!" someone shouted and quickly made their move. Waves surged and a water dragon suddenly rushed towards Neji. At almost the same time, the others also unleashed their own ninjutsu.

Water Dragon, Lightning Pillar, Great Flame, Wind Whirlwind, and Stone Bullet—five different ninjutsu mixed together, overwhelming Neji like a tidal wave crashing down on him, almost like a reenactment of the battle between Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru.

Unfortunately, while Neji possessed the strength to rival Orochimaru, the Root ninjas lacked the power to contend with Hiruzen Sarutobi, even though they outnumbered him...

"Wood Clone Technique!"

Neji's back suddenly turned to wood, and two people who looked exactly like him emerged from it.

"Only two? I'm still far from good enough." Neji frowned. He knew that even when Hashirama Senju was maintaining the Four Red Yang Formation, he could still create four clones.

"However, this is enough."

"Eight Trigrams - Mountain-Shattering Strike!" The two Nejis joined forces and instantly unleashed a burst of white light, illuminating the surroundings. Two beams of white light shot straight towards the incoming Five Elements Ninjutsu.

Click!

An unbelievable scene unfolded: the two beams of white light shattered inch by inch, like broken lenses, completely unable to withstand the Five Elements Ninjutsu. This phenomenon immediately startled Neji.

"I was too arrogant. Apart from a few people, who can withstand the attacks of so many ninjas without being at a disadvantage? I need to calm down and reflect."

Neji had a clear mind and quickly found the reason. His strength had increased unusually rapidly recently, giving him a false sense of invincibility, but this was just an illusion and a manifestation of his arrogance.

He still has a long way to go.

"After this battle, I need to take advantage of the relatively stable period of the next three years to accumulate experience."

At that moment, a barrage of ninjutsu had already reached Neji's head.

Chapter 74 Crisis: Unable to Use Full Strength

Neji looked up at the Five Elements Ninjutsu above him and sighed slightly. There was no way to hide; the range was too wide, and on this narrow pier, he had nowhere to hide.

"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, you're overestimating yourself! You're just one person!" someone shouted, their words full of sarcasm.

In their view, this was only natural, and it should be this way. They had swiftly and decisively annihilated Neji, and how could the prestigious Root organization tolerate a mere brat causing trouble here?

Faced with a barrage of ninjutsu, Neji watched calmly, his face expressionless, devoid of joy or sorrow, detached and utterly serene.

"go to hell!"

A series of loud explosions rang out, and a huge explosion suddenly occurred where Neji was. Various ninjutsu bombarded the area like a tidal wave, instantly breaking the bridge and causing it to collapse.

Immediately afterwards, the pier below was also smashed to pieces, leaving ruins everywhere and kicking up a lot of dust, rising up like a mushroom cloud.

"how's it going?"

The Root ninjas stared nervously down below, not daring to be careless in the slightest. After all, their opponent was the one who had killed Yamanaka Fu in an instant.

However, even after all the smoke and dust had cleared, the Root ninjas never saw Neji again.

"Where is he? Is he dead?"

"Quickly sense it!"

The members of Root spoke up one after another, only when they were sure Neji was dead could they feel at ease. But at this moment, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly rang out, interrupting their actions.

"No need!" Neji's voice was calm, but cold: "What you destroyed was just my clone."

The people at the root of the tree felt a jolt in their hearts and hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound. Upon seeing Neji, they immediately exclaimed, "Aburame Torune, watch out!"

"Huh?" Aburame Tori instinctively turned around and was immediately terrified.

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Technique!"

Neji silently approached Aburame Torune from behind and immediately unleashed his most powerful Fire Release ninjutsu, going all out from the start.

The Aburame clan uses insects as their means of combat. Their bodies harbor a large number of insects, combining offensive and defensive capabilities. Their fighting style is unpredictable and difficult to defend against. It is possible that a seemingly weak insect can influence the entire battle.

Moreover, Aburame Torune is a Jonin with great strength. His entire body is covered with nano-sized poisonous insects, so you must not touch him. Otherwise, you will be poisoned and your fighting power will drop drastically, or you may even lose all your fighting power in a short period of time.

Even Obito, or rather Tobi, had to lose an arm due to a moment of carelessness, which shows how potent this poison is.

Therefore, Neji absolutely cannot engage in close combat with him; the best way is to use fire-style techniques to burn these poisonous insects to death.

Clearly, the effect was outstanding. The Dragon Fire Technique immediately burned the Oil Maiden's roots, making a clattering sound and causing screams of agony. Large swarms of insects were charred and fell to the ground.

Even so, these insects were nothing more than a drop in the ocean for Aburame Torune. Perhaps that's an exaggeration, but what Neji saw before him was enough to make his scalp tingle.

The sheer number of insects was indescribable; it seemed as if Aburame Torune was made entirely of them—it was truly terrifying.

"Damn it, I must research a [Fire Release: Insecticide Technique] in the future." Neji thought viciously. There were so many insects that even he, who didn't have trypophobia, was a little frightened.

puff!

Just then, Aburame Torune, who had been rolling on the ground, suddenly transformed into a large number of insects and scattered.

"Insect clones! When?!" Neji was shocked and hurriedly retreated. Almost at the same time as he retreated, an insect net suddenly fell from the sky and pounced on the spot where Neji had been standing.

"That was close." Neji looked coldly at Aburame Torune. Because of the special nature of the Aburame clan, the Byakugan cannot see through insect clones. He had actually forgotten this.

"I'm a Jonin. After seeing your sneak attack techniques, do you think you can still succeed?!" Aburame Torune said indifferently.

"Next, Feng, I will avenge you."

With a wave of his hand, Aburame Torune unleashed a swarm of poisonous insects that emerged from his body, densely packed and overwhelming Neji.

"Aburame Torune, you're insane!"

"Do you want to kill us all?!" a group of people from the Root shouted.

"Shut up!" Aburame Torune shouted. "From the day we entered the Root, we should no longer have any emotions. It is only right to die for Lord Danzo."

As he spoke, his output power increased, and the venomous insects slowly covered the area. These were nano-sized venomous insects; if someone were bitten, their cells would be destroyed and they would die, causing immense pain.

Upon hearing Aburame Torune's words, the Root ninja wanted to curse him out. "You talk a good game, why don't you set an example yourself?"

But this is not the time for infighting. Only by eliminating this intruder as soon as possible will Aburame Torune be able to take back these poisonous insects; otherwise, they will all die.

It should be noted that although these poisonous insects are controlled by Aburame Tokonoe, they are so numerous and small that they are almost invisible to the naked eye. Anyone who gets pricked by them will die.

At this point, Aburame Torune wouldn't waste his chakra to detoxify them.

"kill!"

In the blink of an eye, the Root ninjas quickly distanced themselves from Neji and began to attack with ranged ninjutsu, partly to avoid Aburame Torune's nano-sized poisonous insects and partly to defend against Gentle Fist.

"Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear!"

A ninja swiftly formed hand seals, and immediately, a slight rustling sound came from beneath Neji's feet. Dozens of stone spikes suddenly emerged from the ground, crisscrossing and simultaneously piercing towards Neji.

"Bagua Palm Reverses Heaven!"

boom!

The stone cone was quickly flattened and broken, without causing any harm to Neji. But at that moment, another ninja suddenly leaped into the air and spat out a large amount of sticky liquid.

"Water Release: Water Candy Barrier!"

Neji quickly rolled away, and at the same time, a large fireball technique dispersed and burned the poisonous insects that were approaching him, and some slight cracking sounds rang out again.

"Thank goodness for the Byakugan, otherwise these poisonous insects alone would be enough to give me a headache," Neji muttered, somewhat relieved.

In fact, with his current strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to deal with these people, but his main target is Danzo. There are many abilities he can't use yet. Otherwise, if he were to fight Danzo who possesses Izanagi, he wouldn't have any confidence at all.

"Use ninjutsu to deplete his chakra, and avoid close combat with him."

"Even if he's incredibly powerful on his own, his chakra is limited. He can't possibly defeat a group of us," one of the ninjas shouted.

"kill!"

Immediately, a group of Root ninjas formed hand seals again, preparing to unleash their ninjutsu.

At the same time, Aburame Torune also tried his best to control those nano-sized poisonous insects to move closer to Neji.

Chapter 75 Reversal of Fortune?! How is that possible?!

"One person can't fight against a group of you?" Neji laughed and muttered. That's only because these people's worldview is too small. To a true strong person, these are all empty words.

Both Madara and Hashirama possessed the power to take on the five great nations on their own; that is what makes them truly strong.
