Naruto: Becoming Stronger by Pampering Your Sister

Then, she waved her hand and said, "Quiet! Now, come with me to the root."

Meanwhile, the Root base was deathly silent. Neji threw Aburame Torune on the ground and stared indifferently at the people in the distance.

Under the shroud of the Flaming Sky, all the nano-sized poisonous insects attached to Aburame Torune's body had been burned to death. Even his own body was scalding hot and crimson, and he had long since gone to the Pure Land.

"How could this be?" The people of the Root were shocked. Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Torune were actually... dead!

But the other party remained completely unharmed.

How will they fight against such a powerful opponent?

"Hehe." Neji placed his hand on Sumire's head as her body trembled uncontrollably.

"When it doesn't involve themselves, you are all ruthless, but when it concerns yourself, how many of you can remain indifferent?"

Neji's hand continued to stroke Sumire's smooth, long hair: "Feelings can never be discarded."

Suddenly, Neji paused, smiled, and his eyes shone brightly.

Chapter 77, The Root, here we come to an end.

Neji smiled sincerely. Although this reward was somewhat... useless compared to the previous ones, it was exactly what Neji needed right now.

Since arriving in this world and obtaining the system, Neji has been progressing at a speed that is unimaginable to ordinary people. In just about two months, he jumped from the level of Chunin to the level of an elite Jonin. He is even unafraid of Kage-level powerhouses.

However, even so, there was always a decisive factor that restrained him, preventing him from unleashing his true potential.

Now, this factor has been largely relaxed.

"The host performed a head pat on Sumire Oki and received the reward [Chakra Boost 10x]."

The system's voice was cold and devoid of any emotion; however, these words struck Neji like waves crashing against his heart, filling him with immense excitement.

Soon, a warm current flowed through all parts of Neji's body, constantly stimulating the cells in his body, making Neji feel comfortable all over.

In just a moment, Neji felt much more fulfilled. It was a true feeling, full of power and energy, as if he were still at his peak.

"Haha..." Neji was indescribably excited. This was the feeling he was in—not being too restricted by chakra, and being able to go all out.

He still remembers the first time he fought Orochimaru. He was no match for him and could only threaten Orochimaru with the All-Killing Ash Bones. As a result, he was almost out of chakra before he could even unleash the All-Killing Ash Bones. It was only then that he understood Kakashi's feelings.

Obito had Hashirama's cells and didn't lack chakra; he could move freely in front of the Five Kage with just his Mangekyou Sharingan. But Kakashi? He had the same eyes, yet he couldn't withstand Kamui twice.

To put it nicely, it's like having no mana; to put it bluntly, it's like being useless. If the hardware can't keep up, no matter how strong your abilities are, it's all for nothing.

Soon, Neji calmed down and thought to himself, "If my chakra level has increased tenfold, my current chakra level is probably between an elite Jonin and a Kage."

“However, even if my chakra is still not as high as a Kage level, my strength is definitely at the peak of the Kage level.” Neji’s lips curled up as he looked at Sumire.

While I appreciate the gift, we are not on the same page.

Sensing Neji's cold gaze, Sumire's heart pounded wildly. Without thinking, she used the petrification technique again and lashed out at Neji with a whip kick.

Neji grabbed her ankle with his other hand, glancing indifferently at the iron rod that had been melted by the Flame Return, and sneered.

"You've even lost your weapon, I advise you to stop," Neji said grimly. "It's better to die looking good than ugly, right?"

"The host stroked Sumire's ankle and received the reward [Earth Release: Rock Collapse]."

Earth Release: Rock Collapse: Uses chakra to cause rocks to collapse.

It's a ninjutsu that relies on the terrain. In a good environment, it can indeed be a large-scale killing weapon. Neji was very satisfied with this move, and this ninjutsu also had its own reputation.

This technique almost killed the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

"Let me go!" Chong Jin shouted angrily. Her wrists and ankles were controlled by Neji, and she couldn't break free at all. She was both anxious and angry.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you right now. After all, you're still useful," Neji said indifferently. Of course, I wouldn't let you go before I've finished collecting the rewards.

"The host fought against Chong Jin and obtained the reward [Earth Release: Heavenly Clay Drop]."

Earth Release: Clay from Above: A large amount of clay descends from an alternate dimension above, attaching itself to the enemy and immobilizing them. When used in conjunction with Fire Release, it can burn the enemy into mud.

"Hmm? There's more?" Neji was slightly taken aback. This technique was a binding technique with extremely strong power. The Konoha Anbu had once used this technique to trap Pain's summoning beast, Cerberus, which showed its binding power.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Spear!"

"Earth Release·Stone Cone!"

While Neji had his hands bound by Sumire, the other Root ninjas seized the opportunity to strike. A blue-white lightning spear made of lightning suddenly appeared from above and thrust towards Neji.

At the same time, cracks appeared in the ground beneath Neji's feet, and a stone cone suddenly emerged.

"Heh, you're too naive." Neji looked disdainfully at the two ninjutsu attacks coming at him, and several green snakes emerged from his sleeves, binding Sumire tightly.

"Eight Trigrams - Mountain-Shattering Strike!"

Then, Neji raised his hand and unleashed two beams of white light, instantly shattering the stone cones and lightning spears. The two beams of white light were unstoppable; one went straight down, piercing through the piers, while the other flew towards the Root ninjas with even greater destructive power.

"not good!"

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!" The Root ninjas were shocked and immediately joined forces to unleash the Earth Flow Wall. Stone walls suddenly rose up, forming a thick stone wall that blocked their way.

boom!

The white light whistled through the air, shaking everything in its path. The thick stone wall was gradually breached, becoming thinner and thinner, but it was eventually stopped, allowing the Root ninjas to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Judging by the time, it's getting late. Let's finish this quickly." Neji's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he used a Shadow Snake Hand to wrap around Sumire's waist.

"Host hugs Chong Jin, receiving the reward [Earth Release: Petrification]".

Earth Release: Petrification: Allows a part of one's body or even the entire body to petrify, becoming larger, extremely hard, and with strong attack power.

"This is your final destination." Neji said indifferently. Almost every Root ninja had the blood of their comrades on their hands because they had killed even their own comrades for the sake of their mission.

"Chakra Scalpel"

Neji gathered chakra in his palm into the shape of a knife and probed into Sumire's heart: "Let the story of Root end here."

"The host touched Chong Jin's chest and received the reward [Earth Release: Earth Mound Dumpling]."

Earth Release: Earth Mound Dumpling: Using earth-style chakra to enhance power and dig out a huge rock, then lift the huge rock found in the earth and smash it at the enemy.

Neji stopped, and Sumire's body slowly fell to the ground. Then, Neji grinned and coldly stared at the other Root members.

"The roots need to be pulled out."

Then, under the tense gazes of the Root ninjas, Neji arrived at the wall of the Root base and shook his head at the Root ninjas in the distance.

Then, he placed his palm against the wall and suddenly released his chakra: "Earth Release: Rock Collapse!"

I will use the magic I obtained from you to kill you.

Rumble~ Rumble~

Visibly, the base of the tree was covered with streaks and cracks, and it began to tremble and shake, dripping dust. In an instant, it was as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had cracked, and slabs of stone had fallen.

"broken!"

Chapter 78 Destroying the Roots

Neji roared, the chakra output from his palms becoming increasingly powerful, causing the Root base to shake even more violently.

"My chakra has indeed become much denser. Even when I used this technique on the Root base, it didn't consume much chakra. It's great." Neji was secretly pleased.

Rumble~ Splash~

Stone slabs fell one by one, dust settled, the pier shattered, and everything crumbled. On the pier, which had just been partially melted, the corpses of Aburame Torune and Oki Sumire slowly sank as the root base collapsed, while Yamanaka Fu's corpse had already been smashed into a bloody mess, with blood and foam splattering everywhere, which was extremely... disgusting.

"Hyuga Neji, what are you doing?!"

"Do you want to destroy the roots?!"

The Root ninja dodged the falling stone slabs while yelling at Neji, "Hyuga Neji, stop now, or you will be a rogue ninja of Konoha..."

boom!

Before the Root ninja could finish speaking, a white light shot from afar, piercing through his head. Red and white matter scattered everywhere, exploding in all directions, and a headless corpse fell to the ground.

"Shut up!" Neji glared at him coldly. The Root ninjas were really annoying. Even now, they still dared to talk to him like that. Did they think they were superior and it had become a habit?

That was truly despicable, so he took action, unleashing a Bagua Mountain-Shattering Strike that sent him to the Western Paradise.

"Shatter!" Neji suddenly exerted force, secretly containing a strange power. In an instant, the base of the Root began to shake more violently and collapsed even more rapidly.

However, since it is a base specially built by the roots, its defenses are extremely strong and its area is very large, so it cannot be destroyed in a short time.

"You're really strong. Well then, how about this?"

Although Neji's forehead was covered by his headband, it was still quite noticeable at this moment. This was because continuous black patterns had begun to appear on Neji's forehead and were rapidly spreading to his entire body.

“That’s…” A Root ninja, who was originally hiding, saw Neji like this and, thinking of the rumors circulating in the village about Neji’s relationship with Tsunade, his expression changed drastically.

"Stop him!" he yelled, his voice filled with terror. The idea that the roots had no feelings had become a complete joke.

They simply lack feelings for others.

Even without his reminder, many Root ninjas had already made their move, charging towards Neji one after another.

"No matter what, we must stop him. We absolutely cannot let him use that move."

Neji stared indifferently at the Root ninjas charging towards him, his expression full of mockery: "Danzo's brainwashing of you is truly thorough, isn't it? Has he already made you forget your identities?"

“You are no longer yourselves.”

Neji's indifferent voice was like a bolt from the blue, piercing the sky and instantly shaking the Root ninjas, leaving them in a daze. However, it was only for a moment, and these Root ninjas still pounced on Neji like hungry wolves.

Command is above all else!

To compete with Neji in physical combat was suicidal, but they had no other choice. If they didn't do this, and Neji were to use that move, the entire Root base would be in grave danger.

Neji shook his head. These people had been "assimilated" by Danzo and were just special puppets. They could even be ruthless to their own comrades. No matter what contributions Danzo and Root had made to Konoha, in Neji's eyes, they were the true traitors of Konoha.

With a slight sway of his sleeve, four thick, large snakes snaked out, coiling and whipping away the Root ninjas who were attacking him, just like steel whips.

The powerful force caused the members of the Root Clan to experience a surge of qi and blood, their bodies feeling as if they had been struck by a heavy blow, and their auras instantly weakened.

“You have strayed further and further from your original intentions.”

"Killing Konoha's elites, forcing the Uchiha clan to rebel, and slaughtering your former comrades—is this the meaning of your 'Root' existence, constantly weakening Konoha's power?" Neji retorted, his expression clearly showing contempt.

"No, you wouldn't understand. What supports the great tree of Konoha Village is the will of us 'roots' that is deeply rooted in the earth."

A Root ninja, blood spilling from his mouth, staggered to his feet and retorted, causing Neji to frown and scoff.
