Naruto: Becoming Stronger by Pampering Your Sister

Suddenly, Neji realized something. Could it be... when he punched Danzo in the face just now...?

In just a split second!

"Shimura Danzo, truly worthy of being called the most cunning schemer in Naruto!" Neji said indignantly, seizing the opportunity in that very instant.

"So that's how it is. The attack just now was intentional on your part." Danzo's cold, emotionless words rang in Neji's ears.

Neji had clearly acted with a purpose, intending to cut off his right arm, which surprised him. He hadn't expected his secret to be leaked.

"It seems you have a deep understanding of everything I've done." Danzo narrowed his eyes. This kid is really strange; Orochimaru was absolutely right.

Luckily, I had a backup plan, otherwise he probably would have succeeded.

Danzo glanced at his right arm and said indifferently, "I don't know how you knew, but it doesn't matter."

He slowly approached Neji and said in a low voice, "I have a better way to deal with you than to kill you."

Neji's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this; he had already guessed Danzo's methods for dealing with him.

Kotoamatsukami!

The most terrifying and effective illusion technique can silently invade the opponent's mind and alter their will without being noticed. The most terrifying illusion technique in the Naruto world can turn everyone the caster sees into their puppet.

"It seems you knew." Neji's change in expression naturally did not escape Danzo's notice, but this was also within Danzo's expectations.

Danzo touched his right eye and said calmly, "As long as you use this eye, you will become my complete possession. From now on, you will only obey my orders, and your secrets will also be known to me."

"Heh, do you dare use it?" At this moment, Neji calmed down, raised his eyes and coldly stared at Danzo: "So many people are watching now, do you want to expose yourself?"

"Furthermore, you haven't fully mastered Shisui's Kaleidoscope, the strongest genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami, have you?"

During the Five Kage Summit, Danzo used Kotoamatsukami on Mifune, trying to get him to nominate him as the leader of the Allied Shinobi Forces. However, Ao easily saw through the trick, and Mifune easily broke free from the control. But this was simply impossible.

Kotoamatsukami is a permanent genjutsu that goes undetected, which is why it's considered the strongest genjutsu. Ao couldn't see through it, and Mifune couldn't escape it. Clearly, Danzo at that time wasn't proficient in Kotoamatsukami; Neji even suspected that he didn't know it at all!

Neji's question caused Danzo to flinch almost imperceptibly, but he quickly concealed it.

"Heh, no need to hide anymore." Neji tried his best to get closer to Danzo and whispered, "My eyes have already seen through you."

Danzo's face darkened, but he quickly recovered: "I underestimated you. It's amazing that a mere brat could understand you so thoroughly. However, although I cannot use the true Kotoamatsukami to control you permanently, I can still do so for a short period of time."

First, control Neji to get the others away, then he'll be easy prey for you.

Although this might arouse suspicion in others, they would never imagine that they possess eyes that remain still.

Neji pondered for a moment and said, "You may not know this, but even someone as insignificant as you, a mere half-baked Kotoamatsukami, can see through the Byakugan."

Chapter 85 Danzo: Your life ends here.

"Heh, I'm willing to take this risk." Danzo scoffed. Compared to the secrets Neji possessed, this small risk was utterly insignificant.

If he can uncover Neji's secrets and find out why he can use Wood Release, he will be one step closer to his goal. At that time, he won't care if others discover his past.

"Alright, it's time for you to submit to me." Danzo was secretly delighted, but he didn't notice Neji's strange behavior at all.

"Danzo, do you know why you've failed so many times?" Neji suddenly sneered and asked.

"What?" Danzo asked curiously.

"You value your life, but you're also arrogant. You could easily turn around and stab me to death, or you could directly control me, but instead you insist on telling me these useless things," Neji said calmly, with an air of complete control.

"Hmph!" Danzo said angrily, "Say what you will, anyway, you will soon be used by me."

"Heh, you still haven't discovered it? Danzo, you deserve to die." Neji sneered, his expression indifferent. The curse binding his body was visibly fading, and he was gradually regaining his mobility.

"What?! It can actually break the seal of self-karma!" Danzo was shocked. Without saying much, he reached out and flicked his wrist, and a kunai immediately fell from his sleeve.

Since he hasn't broken free of his restraints yet, I should kill him first. I absolutely cannot let him pose a threat to me.

Neji laughed disdainfully. Danzo was just that afraid of dying. When he fought Sasuke, he kept Izanagi active the whole time, worried that he would die, even though he did die in the end.

Ten chances to revive, eleven lives! How could an old-school Kage-level expert still not be able to kill Sasuke?

Neji chuckled, the blue lion head in his palm roaring as he struck Danzo's vital point.

"That's enough!" Danzo raised his hand and slashed at Ningci with a kunai.

puff!

Blood gushed out like a fountain, and an arm was suddenly cleaved into the air, tumbling back and forth, dripping a few drops of blood that stained the full moon high in the sky a blood red.

Danzo was filled with murderous intent, and pus and blood splattered all over his face, staining his pure white bandages bright red.

"I will accept your blood."

Danzo straightened up and looked at Neji, whose right arm he had severed with a kunai, and gave a faint smile.

Then, he turned his head and glanced at Neji's arm that had fallen to the ground. Yes, all he needed was this.

"Neji!" Several screams rang out, and a group of people immediately ran towards Neji.

"Danzo, what are you doing?!"

At this moment, even Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were somewhat angry. Under normal circumstances, they would never confront Danzo for the sake of a brat. However, Konoha was in a critical period and could no longer afford to lose talent. Danzo's actions were tantamount to jeopardizing Konoha's future.

"He intended to attack me, and I was just acting in self-defense."

Faced with the questioning from the two high-ranking officials, Danzo remained indifferent and unmoved. He knew that between a genius who was already ruined and a veteran with Kage-level strength, they would know which to choose.

Moreover, he is also a high-ranking member of Konoha; why should he have to obey their every whim?

"Sarutobi, you are still too weak, which is why Konoha has declined."

"Once I become Hokage, the Konoha Elders will either obey me or disband," Danzo thought to himself. His orders were simply to be carried out by others; there was no need for them to question them, nor should they.

"This..." Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were furious, but they didn't say much. No matter where they were, interests came first. They couldn't possibly confront Danzo for the sake of Neji, who had lost an arm.

"Heh, do you want to betray Konoha? For a rogue ninja." Danzo glanced at the people running towards Neji, his cold voice suddenly ringing out, causing everyone to stop in their tracks.

"Danzo, don't push your luck!"

"Hmph! Look at the ruins beneath your feet. This is his masterpiece. He slaughtered the Root ninjas and disrupted the peace of Konoha. He must die!" Danzo's cloudy old eyes gleamed with a dangerous light, and his cold voice was chilling, as if it came from hell.

Danzo!

"Hyuga Hiashi, does your Hyuga clan intend to betray Konoha?"

"You!" Hiashi Hyuga trembled with anger, and even his usually taut face showed a hint of emotion.

"Danzo, I told you, you'd be careless."

At this moment, Neji spoke, his pale face devoid of color. He had finally broken free from his restraints but lost an arm. This was something that would be difficult for any ninja to accept, but Neji simply spat and became indifferent.

This tenacious character naturally drew admiration from some, but it was quickly followed by sighs of regret. It was truly tragic that such a promising talent had been ruined.

Neji remained silent. It was one thing for the others not to know, but why did Tsunade also have a sorrowful expression of "a genius turned into a waste"?

But he soon realized Tsunade's intentions. Danzo's already contemptuous expression turned even more disdainful after seeing Tsunade's expression.

Hey, is it really okay for you to betray Danzo like this? He's at least a high-ranking official in Konoha.

"Hmph! Hyuga Neji, based on your actions, I hereby officially designate you as a rogue ninja. Prepare to die!"

Hearing Danzo's words, Neji really wanted to stab him. This guy had no shame in order to kill him as soon as possible, and he didn't even give him a chance to explain.

Although he wouldn't argue even if he could, Danzo's actions still made him very unhappy.

However, he had no time to think at the moment. Danzo had already taken out a kunai, and wind-attribute chakra was attached to it again, making it look like a longsword.

Earth Release: Petrification!

Neji turned his entire body to stone, becoming indestructible, like a person made of rock, which was very strange. Then, completely ignoring the kunai aimed at him, he continued to use his now-broad stone fist to hammer Danzo.

Then, the outcome was predictable. The kunai imbued with wind attribute cut through iron like mud. How could the rock possibly stop it? With a whoosh, Neji's right shoulder to his right leg, most of his body, was cut open. The petrification was immediately lifted, and blood splattered all over the ground.

"Your life ends here."

Danzo gripped his kunai with both hands and thrust it forcefully towards Neji's head.

"Even if you can withstand my first wave of attacks," Neji's voice suddenly echoed in the area, "you won't be able to withstand my second wave."

As soon as he finished speaking, a white figure suddenly emerged from Neji's mouth and slashed at Danzo without any hesitation.

Chapter 86 All-Out Attack on Hyuga Neji

call out!

Extremely fast speed, extremely close distance, a swift and decisive strike!

"what!"

Before Danzo could even react, his right arm snapped off with a tear, blood gushing out like a fountain—a truly gruesome sight.

Neji swept past Danzo, his cold eyes devoid of any pity. Time seemed to stand still at that moment, causing everyone to gasp in surprise.

"what?!"

Neji was cut in half, wasn't he? But why is he perfectly intact now?! This... is unbelievable.

"What exactly happened? Is it a clone? But what about all that blood...?"

"Is it all a lie?!"

The crowd was in an uproar. The battle situation had changed so quickly, and the previously tilted battle had been completely reversed in an instant.

"Orochimaru's Substitution Jutsu!" Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were somewhat taken aback, but their expressions quickly turned grim. Orochimaru had just attacked Konoha not long ago, so they couldn't afford to be careless.

"A spy... Everyone, go all out to wipe out Hyuga Neji!" Koharu Utatane murmured first, then spoke loudly.

As she spoke, she moved first, forming hand seals as she ran: "Earth Release: Rock Stealing Stick!"

The ground changed instantly; piles of stones and soil squeezed out a long stone rod, which soon stood upright on the ground.

But that wasn't the end. Her hands continued to move, still waving: "Water Release: Breaking Torrent!"

In an instant, a large amount of water condensed in her other palm, swirling in a vortex like a small tornado.

Neji frowned and gave Koharu Utatane a cold look. This old woman was really annoying. If it weren't for so many people around, he would have definitely taken care of her.

However, even with reservations, it didn't mean he would back down. His right arm instantly turned to stone, ready to fight, though he couldn't kill him. But he was determined to keep this guy in line.

At this moment, Koharu Tsurugi arrived at the spot where the stone stick stood, reached out and pulled it out.

At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded. What happened? Why did Koharu's attitude suddenly change 180 degrees? What should they do now?
