Naruto: Becoming Stronger by Pampering Your Sister

Magic Flute: Dreamy Sound Lock: Use the sound of the flute to draw your opponent into a virtual illusion, where their body will be bound and slowly corroded.

This ninjutsu is quite effective. Although the person affected is conscious, their body cannot move. It is a very powerful genjutsu. Most importantly, the sound can penetrate Susanoo. This is how Kabuto affected Itachi and Sasuke.

However, this technique also has obvious drawbacks. First, you need a flute, and second, the opponent cannot wear earplugs.

In short, whether this technique is useless or not depends entirely on whether the necessary tools are available.

But Neji didn't care. Why not take something that's given away for free?

"What are you going to do?" At this moment, Kidomaru suppressed his fear and asked Neji.

"Heh." Neji looked down at Kidomaru and said calmly, "Take me to Orochimaru."

Chapter 90 Orochimaru's Instructions

Deep in the forest, Kidomaru, Sakon, and Jirobo sat around a campfire, looking at each other without saying a word.

They were filled with sorrow, even the usually playful Kidomaru had a worried look on his face.

"Hey, do we really have to listen to him?" Jirobo scratched his head and asked cautiously.

Neji dumped the three of them here, briefly explained his demands, and left with Tayuya and the wooden barrel containing Sasuke, without waiting for their agreement.

Simply put, Neji wanted them to hold off the Konoha 11 who would arrive later, and he threatened them that if they dared to leave without permission, he would destroy Orochimaru's base.

Then, amidst the bewildered and puzzled looks of the three men, he left without offering any explanation.

Jirobo's words seemed to be swallowed by the night, and all that awaited him was silence.

To be honest, Jirobo even thought he was dreaming. The Sound Five were being threatened by a brat and forced to work for him. But the crackling of the burning firewood and the real feeling of the cold wind telling him that it was not a dream.

"I can't take this anymore." Zuo Jin had a bad temper, and after a while he couldn't suppress his anger any longer and started yelling that he was about to leave.

But Jirobo's question, "Can you beat him?" instantly defeated him.

They had certainly met Neji before, not only during the collapse of Konoha, but also recently Orochimaru had been constantly muttering Neji's name, as had Kabuto.

In a daze, they seemed to understand that Lord Orochimaru's plan had failed and Kabuto's arm had been severed because of Neji's interference... In short, Neji was very strong, so strong that even Lord Orochimaru had to take him seriously.

"Neji is a strange guy; it's best not to take what he says as a joke."

These were Orochimaru's unintentional words, which kept echoing in their minds, causing Sakon to swallow back what he was about to say.

"Aaaaah..." Sakon covered his head and yelled at Kidomaru, "You're usually so full of ideas, why are you mute now?!"

"Do you think I have any good ideas in this situation?"

Kidomaru also stood up and responded without any politeness, his anger rising. He felt really uncomfortable being used as a pawn.

"Oh well, I was going to stop them anyway, so let's just take it easy." Jirobo sighed deeply, trying to make himself as willing as possible.

"Damn it!" Zuo Jin angrily pounded a tree next to him. Just as he was about to speak again, a rustling sound came from the woods, instantly making their expressions tense.

……

At this moment, Neji was strolling leisurely through the deep forest, while Tayuya walked ahead of him carrying a heavy wooden barrel on her back.

"Damn it, don't you have any gentlemanly manners?" Tayuya cursed inwardly. She was a great beauty, how could this guy have the nerve to make her do all this hard and tiring work?

Ignoring the resentful look on Tayuya's face, Neji was quite content, but that was only on the surface. In reality, he was using Kagura's Mind's Eye to observe everyone's condition.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and muttered, "We've already encountered them! They came so quickly?"

Then, he suddenly grabbed Tayuya's hand, lifted the wooden bucket containing Sasuke with his other hand, and in a flash, he appeared thousands of meters away.

"The host has joined hands with Tayuya and received the reward [Summoning Technique (Three Demons)]".

Summoning (Three Ghosts): Summons three giant ghosts skilled in physical combat, whose movements can be controlled by a flute. One ghost wields a thick wooden club, another uses bone claws, and the third has its upper body, including its head, wrapped in bandages and has no arms. It uses a "back ram" attack.

"So fast!" Tayuya was shocked. Then, she looked at Neji with even more hostility. If he could run so fast, why did he make her carry the wooden barrel all that way?

Neji had no time to pay attention to her. Konoha had already sent people after them, and unsurprisingly, it was the Konoha 11. However, this time almost all of them were involved, simply because he had also left.

"What a fuss," Neji muttered. He'd better hurry and get to Orochimaru.

At his extreme speed, they soon arrived at a plain, but then a gray-haired boy suddenly blocked his way.

"stop!"

The gray-haired boy looked sickly and pale, but who would have thought that such a person would be the strongest among the Sound Five?

"Kaguya Kimimaro." Neji looked at the person in front of him. As a tragic figure, he was powerful, but died prematurely due to his poor physical condition. It was truly a pity.

However, Neji won't weaken him here; his opponents should be Rock Lee and Gaara.

Kimimaro coughed, and several mouthfuls of blood flowed from his mouth, but he didn't care. A bone spur appeared in his hand, pointing at Neji.

Give me Sasuke.

As for Tayuya, he had already ignored him. His only goal was to complete Lord Orochimaru's orders, and compared to that, no one else mattered.

"This is troublesome. Tayuya, I'll leave it to you." Neji released Tayuya, thinking it would be more convincing for her to relay the message to Kimimaro.

Tayu didn't know Neji's purpose or why he wanted to see Lord Orochimaru. However, Kimimaro was always the calmest of the five, so perhaps he could make a judgment.

Thinking of this, Tayuya immediately ran towards Kimimaro.

"Kimimaro has arrived, which means... Orochimaru is getting impatient." Neji stood silently in place, looking at Kimimaro and thinking to himself.

Unless I use my ability to become intangible to get there now, Orochimaru will have already taken over Genyuumaru's body by the time I reach Orochimaru's base.

"It's even shorter than expected," Neji murmured, but he wasn't nervous. Even if Orochimaru became a man, he still had enough leverage to make Orochimaru obediently hand over his ninjutsu.

Because that thing was something Orochimaru couldn't resist.

"You said he's Hyuga Neji?" Kimimaro asked Tayuya, pointing at Neji.

Before Tayuya could answer, he muttered again, "Yes, he has white eyes, and he's so young."

Finally, Kimimaro put away the bone spur in his palm and said politely, "I'm sorry for accidentally blocking your way. Please be sure to bring Sasuke to Lord Orochimaru."

Tayuya, who thought she would waste half a day talking to him, was taken aback when she saw Kimimaro change his mind just by hearing Neji's name. She just let him go like that? If it weren't for Kimimaro's unwavering loyalty to Lord Orochimaru, she would really suspect that Kimimaro had betrayed her.

Little did she know that Kimimaro did this entirely because of Orochimaru's orders.

"If Neji wants to see me, then let him come," Orochimaru said.

Chapter 91 Sufficient Chips

Neji frowned almost imperceptibly as he looked at Kimimaro, who had already made way for him.

Was this Orochimaru's order? He actually predicted my actions.

Dealing with such a cunning person is truly unpleasant, but in the face of absolute power, your tricks are useless.

"Kimimaro, aren't you coming with us?" Tayuya asked, turning her head.

Kimimaro didn't even turn his head, and instructed, "You know I don't have long to live. I will stay here to buy you time and make my final contribution to Lord Orochimaru."

As if to antagonize him, the wooden barrel suddenly shattered with a bang as soon as he finished speaking, and then a figure with blood-red eyes appeared in front of them.

"It seems he has already mastered the second form of the cursed seal." Kimimaro's calm face remained completely expressionless.

"Haha, I truly felt this power." Sasuke laughed loudly the moment he saw Neji, but this smile did not give others a sunny feeling; instead, it filled them with a chill.

“Hyuga Neji, huh.” Sasuke turned around, his blood-red eyes looking at Neji with disdain.

Neji clearly sensed Sasuke's fighting spirit, and even his usually calm face couldn't help but show a few dark lines.

"What, you think you're capable again?"

Whoosh!

A kunai suddenly flew through the air, its target Neji. Neji shook his head, and as the kunai struck his body, that part of his body suddenly petrified. A spark appeared and then went out, and the kunai fell to the ground.

"Huh?" Kimimaro looked at Sasuke with a puzzled expression. Was this guy out of his mind?

He had no idea why Sasuke was so confident in attacking Neji.

"Idiot!" Tayuya cursed inwardly, then glanced at Neji and, seeing that he showed no emotion, relaxed.

Sasuke is bound to get a beating, but as long as Neji doesn't kill him, it's fine.

"That's right, now it's worth my full effort."

Sasuke's cursed seal gradually spread all over his body, eventually turning his entire body brown. His head grew several times longer, like a hedgehog. And that wasn't the end of it. With two loud bangs, a pair of wings resembling hands sprouted from his back.

Sasuke immediately transformed into the second form of the Cursed Seal, gathering an extremely terrifying bolt of lightning in his hand.

"Come on, I'll let you make the first move," Sasuke shouted.

Kimimaro and Tayuya had nothing more to say and silently turned their heads away, ignoring the torture that was about to begin.

"Okay." Neji clenched his fists so tightly that his bones cracked, and said with a kind expression.

bang bang bang...

Amidst the sounds of beatings, a faint scream could be heard. A moment later, Neji threw Sasuke's Konoha headband to Kimimaro.

"Just give this to that blond brat, Tayuya, let's go."

"Oh." Tayuya turned around and looked at Sasuke, whose face was swollen like a pig's head and almost unrecognizable, and sighed silently.

Acting toughest will get you the worst beating.

Soon after, Neji and his group finally arrived outside Orochimaru's base. Looking at the gloomy environment before them, Neji felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Do you usually stay in this place?" Neji glanced at Tayuya and asked casually.

"Okay." Tayuya responded softly, "I'll go open the door right away."

"no need."

Neji reached out to stop her, and then a white light shot out from his palm, blasting a hole in the gloomy base. Dust billowed out, walls shattered, and a loud bang was heard.

"Eight Trigrams - Mountain-Shattering Strike!"

Neji withdrew his hand and stepped inside: "That's good enough."

Upon arrival, one must first give the original owner a hard time, letting him know who's in charge here from now on.

Tayuya opened her mouth, but then silently followed Neji inside.

As soon as Neji entered the base, he spotted Orochimaru.
