Naruto: Becoming Stronger by Pampering Your Sister

They were thrown heavily to the ground, their robes torn and covered in wounds, no longer able to resist.

"Hahahaha, I am the king of this country. Treasures, power, wealth... they are all mine." Feng Hua Nu Tao laughed heartily.

"No, I will stop you." Neji struggled to his feet, pulled a kunai from his sleeve with difficulty, and thrust it forcefully at Fuuka Nutō.

"Hmph!" Feng Hua Nu Tao pinched Neji's kunai between two fingers and snorted coldly, saying, "For a weakling like you, all you need to do is obediently listen to me."

As he spoke, a kunai suddenly appeared in his hand, slicing Neji's neck in two. Neji whimpered and fell into a pool of blood.

"No! Neji!!" Kazahana Koyuki screamed in anguish, tears streaming down her face.

"Hahaha, see? This is what it means to rebel against me... Ugh..." Feng Hua Nu Tao shouted wildly, but his laughter stopped abruptly as he clutched his neck with both hands, a look of pain on his face.

In his eyes, the scene suddenly changed. Neji and the others were standing there perfectly fine, while he was holding a blood-stained kunai. A deep gash had been slashed across his neck, and blood was flowing out continuously.

Everything that just happened was just an illusion.

"Why, why?" Feng Hua Nu Tao asked, puzzled.

"Heh, didn't anyone tell you that the Konoha genin are the most terrifying beings in the ninja world?" Neji grinned, then ended his life with a single palm strike.

To think you can stop Byakugan's illusion with just a piece of mediocre armor is simply overestimating yourself.

With the death of Fuuka Naoto, the ten-year-long power struggle in the Land of Snow came to an end. Fuuka Koyuki quickly rose to power with the support of the people, becoming the true daimyo of the Land of Snow.

however……

"Hey? Are you leaving? Neji, are you leaving?"

In the garden, Fuuka Koyuki stared in shock at Neji as he prepared to leave, her deep eyes filled with a pitying light, as if Neji's departure was something she never expected.

“The mission is complete, so of course I’m leaving,” Neji said, completely unaware of why Koyuki Kazahana had the illusion that he would stay there indefinitely.

"How heartbreaking, Neji! Have you forgotten how we accepted each other's feelings not long ago?" Koyuki Fuuka said, her eyes brimming with tears, her voice filled with anguish.

"What?! Feelings?" Neji's eyes widened as he stared at Kazaka Koyuki in shock.

Looking at Feng Hua Xiaoxue, who was about to burst into tears, he suddenly felt as if he was being regarded as a scumbag who abandoned his wife and children for the sake of the new.

Kazakura Koyuki covered her pretty face with her wide sleeves, secretly slipped a few drops of eye drops into them, and then looked at Neji with teary eyes.

"You are truly heartless. You stroked the hair of a princess, no, a daimyo, in public, comforting my wounded, pure, and innocent heart. Isn't that love?"

"I... Ugh." Neji was taken aback, then quickly waved his hands, "No, no, no, you're exaggerating! You're definitely exaggerating!"

"Neji, if you stay in the Land of Snow, you will become the new daimyo of the Land of Snow, enjoying inexhaustible wealth and technology that is decades ahead of the continent. Isn't that much better than being a ninja who faces constant danger?"

Feng Hua Xiaoxue looked at Neji with deep affection, gently took his hand in hers, and said softly, "Please don't leave, okay?"

"The host has formed a bond with Kazeka Koyuki and received the reward [Chakra Armor]."

Chakra Armor: Armor developed by the Land of Snow for ninjas. It can greatly enhance the power of chakra and ninjutsu, and can defend against all ninjutsu and genjutsu within its range.

"Put it in the system space first," Neji thought to himself.

To be honest, if Neji hadn't known what would happen in the future, he might have really brought Hinata and the others here, and they could all live happily together. But that's impossible. The Fourth Shinobi World War and the Infinite Tsukuyomi meant that no one could escape it.

After some nonsensical bluffing and assurances that he would definitely return, Neji was finally able to escape from Kazahana Koyuki and leave the Land of Snow.

"I went out and gained another wife," Neji murmured.

The Land of Snow is very far from the mainland, so in order to travel faster, Neji had no choice but to use his ability to become intangible and return to the Land of Fire as soon as possible.

However, things don't always go as smoothly as one might imagine. When Neji used his intangibility to traverse space and reached a waterfall, an anomaly suddenly occurred after he used intangibility.

"What is that?" In an unknown space, Neji frowned and muttered to himself as he looked at the dark shadow floating in front of him.

The shadow was a true shadow, with a twisted shape and no fixed appearance, as eerie and elusive as smoke. If one had to describe it, it seemed to be something like a soul.

This dark figure undoubtedly gave Neji a very evil feeling, full of violence and bloodshed, making people despair, as if its appearance itself represented a kind of calamity.

Chapter 100 The Shrine Maiden Bribed by a Dish

"This feeling..." Neji looked at the dark figure and felt a chill run down his spine. It could actually interfere with his intangibility, and more importantly, in Neji's perception, it seemed to not belong to this world!

"How is this possible?!" Neji couldn't sit still any longer. A soul that didn't belong to the ninja world... was it the same as his own?

"No, it's too evil. It seems to have existed for a very long time. And what world could have such a tainted soul?!" Neji activated his Byakugan, his chakra leaking out as he prepared to fight. However, even with his Byakugan, it was as if he could only see it with the naked eye.

"So that's how it is... Damn it, whatever you are, how dare you trespass into my space, you must have been prepared for this." Neji growled, already forming hand seals. Without any information, he wouldn't rashly approach with physical techniques.

"Jie Jie Jie Jie..."

The shadowy figure laughed, a laugh that was eerie and chilling, twisting one's very soul. It was terrifying, and the reason for all of this was that the shadowy figure was too evil. However, Neji seemed oblivious to it.

"I never thought there would be someone else who could come to another dimension like me. But, well, we're not in the same space, so you can't hear me. But, interesting, really interesting."

The dark figure trembled violently, as if laughing. It said excitedly, "I can feel that my seal is about to break. When that happens, I will come to find you."

Neji stared nervously at the dark figure, but could only see the figure trembling. Even the flames passed directly through its body. Neji then realized that this was just spatial interference that was being reflected. In essence, they were still in different spaces and could not attack each other.

A moment later, the dark figure slowly faded away, but Neji became even more worried. So, he withdrew from the space and wanted to figure out what kind of place this was.

"Kagura's Mind's Eye!"

Neji held his hands up in front of him, and his powerful senses instantly enveloped the surroundings.

"So that's it... So it borders the Land of Snow." Neji murmured. In his perception, the Land of Snow was not far from this place, but this made it even more impossible for him to sit idly by.

"This seems to be a small country." Neji's perception was incredibly strong, completely covering the entire country, but he didn't know where he was.

"We need to find out what happened."

Neji then walked toward the person closest to him, intending to ask for clarification.

Down in the valley, a small stream flowed gently. A girl with light yellow hair dipped her small feet into the stream, pouting and kicking them around, splashing up waves.

"How boring, shrine maidens are the worst."

She does the same things every day, facing an empty shrine, with no one to play with, bearing burdens and responsibilities that shouldn't be her age, and even leaving the shrine has to be done secretly...

The girl pouted, clearly unhappy with her situation, and kept kicking up splashes of water, as if doing so could soothe her emotions.

Just then, footsteps reached her ears. The girl looked up, and her beautiful purple pupils were fully revealed to the person who had entered.

But almost at the same time, she pulled her foot back and walked away angrily, muttering, "I know, I know, I'll leave."

Neji paused, somewhat astonished as he watched the girl toss her hair back and walk away. Although his eye roll might seem a little strange to ordinary people, it was undeniable that he was quite good-looking. What did she mean by turning around and leaving?

Neji's forehead creased with black lines, and he flashed to the girl's side, blocking her path.

"What, what are you going to do?" The girl was startled when she saw the boy with the white eyes suddenly appear in front of her and asked nervously.

"Where is this place?" Neji had no time to say anything more to her; the terrifying shadow he had just encountered had put him under immense pressure.

No, it's less about the shadow and more about the origin of the shadow—creatures from another dimension, which are quite rare in Naruto.

"Hmph!" The girl snorted coldly. Neji's forceful tone was unbearable for her, who had been treated like a princess since childhood. Her temper flared up, and she walked down cross-legged, crossed her arms, and said imperiously, "I'm hungry. Go and prepare some food for me."

"I..." Neji silently told himself that she was just a little girl and he shouldn't argue with her. He casually took out a plate of fish from his system space and handed it to her.

Why fish? Just kidding. Neji wouldn't let his stomach down. The so-called ninjas have to endure hardship, but that's only because of the conditions. Someone like me, who has a system space, as long as I prepare properly, why should I be like them?

Besides, with the Hyuga clan and the Land of Snow, two major conglomerates, behind them, they can't just be treated as decorations.

The girl watched as Neji magically conjured up steaming hot food out of thin air, her eyes sparkling. Before Neji could even speak, she took the fish from his hand and began to eat it in large mouthfuls.

"Delicious, delicious." The girl seemed very satisfied, saying happily, and quickly finished off the entire plate of fish.

"Now can you tell me where this is?"

Neji asked again, but to his surprise, the answer came not from the girl, but from the system.

"The host invited Ziyuan to eat fish and received the reward [Sealing Stone]."

Sealing Stone: A red stone with extremely powerful sealing power, capable of sealing most of the wearer's power, but also possessing the power to protect the wearer.

Shion handed the empty plate to Neji and said in a very satisfied voice, "I'm full. Go wash the plate."

At this moment, she stroked her belly, and her gaze toward Neji began to soften.

Neji stared blankly at the girl before him. It would be a lie to say he wasn't shocked. Who was this? The priestess of the Land of Demons, the only person in the ninja world capable of sealing away demons from another world.

This explains everything. The dark shadow that interfered with him was the future [Otherworldly Demon - Wraith]. He had unintentionally come to the territory of the Land of Demons.

Looking at the shrine maiden who had been won over by a single dish, Neji suddenly felt that this world was so unreal.

but!

"Stop being disrespectful!" Neji said angrily to Shion as he crushed the plate in his hand the moment he took it.

He wasn't Neji from this world, who would be respectful and obedient to Shion. He felt it was necessary to teach Shion a lesson.

Chapter 101 Is this a mink? Or a weasel?

Down in the valley, beside the stream, Shion obediently followed Neji, occasionally telling him about her past. It was clear that she was very happy.

Neji would occasionally chime in. After giving Shion a lesson on how to conduct herself, he had come to understand that Shion had not been the priestess for very long and had not yet become the cold and aloof person she would become in the future.

Seeing Neji talking casually, Shion wasn't annoyed at all; on the contrary, she was even happier. This was a true friend—someone who wouldn't flatter her because of her status, and who would also sternly point out her mistakes…

In short, this feeling was wonderful for the lonely Shion, filling her long-empty heart with happiness.

"But I'm still so scared." As Ziyuan spoke, her voice suddenly became low, and she stopped in her tracks.

"What's wrong?" Neji asked, turning around.

"Everyone who gets close to me will eventually... die." Ziyuan's eyes suddenly filled with tears as she cried out.

Neji naturally knew what she meant. Those who were around Shion would eventually sacrifice themselves for her. If they wanted to get rid of Shion's "prophecy of death," there was no other way but to leave Shion.

But this would mean Shion's death.

Neji stopped upon hearing this, walked up to Shion, and flicked two fingers, striking Shion on the forehead.

"Ouch, that hurts!!" Ziyuan cried out, clutching her head.

"Things aren't as bad as you think. I'll protect you," Neji said calmly, withdrawing his hand.

In truth, he also felt great sympathy for Ziyuan. She was a very kind person at heart, but in order to prevent the people around her from dying for her, she had to wear a mask and always appeared cold to everyone, hoping that they would stay away from her. At the same time, she longed for someone to understand her because she was too lonely.

"Host tapped Shion's head and received the reward [Yin Attribute Chakra]."

Yin Release Chakra: Distinguished from the chakra attributes of wind, fire, earth, lightning, and water, Yin Release, after mastering its nature transformation, is the power to create matter out of thin air using spiritual power.
