But at that moment, Shi Li suddenly burst out of the ground, blocking their way, and kicked Naruto into the wall.
"The loser is still so weak." Sasuke sat on the rooftop, watching the battle below with a sneer. In his opinion, Ishitate was a complete waste, except for his right-hand ability, which was quite troublesome.
Sasuke felt utterly disdainful at the thought that Kakashi and the others had lost the person they needed to protect to someone like this.
"This is so boring." Sasuke sneered. "Neji, how about we join in too?"
Before he knew it, he had gradually come to regard Neji as his pillar of support, but he did not receive a response from Neji.
Sasuke turned his head to look, but Neji was nowhere to be seen. No, even Tayuya was gone. He was the only one left on the rooftop.
A cold wind howled around him, and Sasuke couldn't help but frown, muttering profanities under his breath.
What does it mean?
Why didn't you call him when the two of them walked away?
Well, he felt that taking on this task was a complete mistake. A third wheel is unwelcome everywhere, and it's a pity he only realized this now.
Therefore, the more he looked at the arrogant Shi Li below, the more annoyed he became. He immediately jumped down, letting all that composure go to hell. He was going to vent his anger.
Unfortunately, Shi Li was his easy target.
At this moment, inside the palace, Sakura and Hinata stood together, facing King Kong and Karinka in a fierce battle.
Xiang Lianhua and the others used poison gas to paralyze Sakura and Hinata's nerves, preventing them from exerting their true fighting power and putting them in a passive and defensive position. At this moment, their bodies are covered with wounds.
However, they were unaware that their battle had been witnessed by two people hiding in the shadows.
"Neji, it seems like they're about to lose," Tayuya said with a smile, offering a reminder.
Upon hearing this, Neji immediately dropped three fingers and said calmly, "Be quiet."
"Ouch! That hurts like hell!" Tayuya clutched her swollen forehead, stomped her foot angrily, and vowed to get her revenge later, with interest.
"Honestly, they don't seem to have improved at all." Neji was speechless. He remembered that back in Shippuden, although their strength wasn't that great, they were still comparable to Jonin. They were on a completely different level now.
What did they go through to achieve such a leap in progress?
Back on the battlefield, Kongo and Xiang Lianhua pressed forward relentlessly. One used illusion magic to suppress them, while the other relied on brute force to charge. Originally, they were easy opponents for Sakura and Hinata to defeat, but the poison in their bodies caused the two to be forced to retreat step by step, and they were injured again.
"Damn it, that dwarf is so despicable," Sakura said angrily, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth.
“A dwarf…dwarf?” Xiang Lianhua’s expression was extremely interesting. She gritted her teeth and said, “I’m 22 years old.”
"22 years old?" Hinata couldn't help but glance at it, muttering to herself with skepticism.
"I'm just a slow-developing person, I'm not a dwarf!" Karin shouted, and then grabbed a kunai and stabbed at Sakura.
At the same time, Kongo raised his huge fist and slammed it towards Hinata.
"Oops!"
Sakura shoved Hinata away and used Healing Palm Technique to pause Karinka's movements, allowing her to dodge a fatal blow. However, she couldn't avoid Kongo's fist.
"Sakura!" Hinata cried out in alarm and immediately rushed over.
call out!
But then, a blurry figure suddenly descended from above, blocking Sakura's path. He held the kunai in one hand and gripped her fist with the other, his grip so strong that Kaorenka and Kongou couldn't break free and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Who, who are you?" The two asked in alarm.
"I really can't stand it anymore," Neji muttered. Hinata and Sakura were being completely outmatched by these two weaklings, which left him speechless and made him decide to get rid of them as soon as possible.
"You... let go!" Xiang Lianhua cried out.
"Ok?"
Neji suddenly exerted force with both hands, crushing the kunai to pieces with a crack, and even breaking Kongo's fist, causing Kongo to roar in anguish.
Chapter 114 Three Women Make a Drama
"What?!" Xiang Lianhua was shocked. Was this person a monster? He actually snapped the kunai in half with his bare hands and crushed the wrist of the Vajra!
"what!"
Kong roared, enduring the pain, and raised his other fist to smash towards Neji.
Neji dodged the attack by turning around, and at the same time kicked Karenka in the face, sending her flying.
Then, he grabbed King Kong by the neck with one hand, lifted him up, and said coldly, "What? Do you want to dance?"
Suddenly, cherry blossom petals floated in front of Neji's eyes, followed by several swishing sounds, like being cut by knives, and Neji was instantly attacked.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Neji's attack site suddenly petrified, sparks flying everywhere. He looked indifferently at Kaorenka, who was hiding among the cherry blossom petals, waiting for an opportunity to attack, a hint of disdain on his lips.
"He's not the only one who wants to dance."
Neji rolled his eyes, casually watching Karinka's movements with a 360-degree unobstructed view.
Nothing can escape his eyes.
"The host fought against the Fragrant Flower and received the reward: [Mental Strength increased by 50%]".
"Ha, is that all? How boring."
Neji's body trembled, and his overwhelming aura instantly enveloped the area, causing Karenka's illusion to crumble on its own.
"How... is this possible?!"
Xiang Lianhua stood frozen in place, her eyes filled with disbelief. How could such a terrifying aura appear in a child?
However, the next moment, she was horrified, because she was lifted up by a large hand and suspended in mid-air.
"Is this all the strength you have? Nothing special." Neji said indifferently, snapping their necks without any emotion.
Xiang Lianhua's strength was too weak; she didn't have any powerful moves and could only provide herself with some basic things, but she no longer lacked such things.
Not only is she useless for improving one's own abilities, but she's also unattractive. What's the point of keeping her around? Is she just a nuisance?
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique".
Neji poured a ball of fire over them, burning them to ashes. He thought that if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they might grow back in the spring breeze. Cremation was the end of it all.
Just then, a soft body suddenly bumped into Neji's arms, carrying a pleasant fragrance that calmed Neji's murderous intent considerably.
Hinata.
Neji looked down at Hinata, who was nestled in his arms, and while marveling at himself as a winner in life, he couldn't help but stroke Hinata's soft hair again.
"How are you doing?" he asked softly.
Hinata raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she buried her head in Neji's arms again, burying her head in the sand like an ostrich.
It was this scent; she hadn't smelled it in a long time.
Sakura watched from behind with envy. She also longed to rush into Neji's arms and experience that feeling, even though they had just met not long ago.
She didn't step forward, but silently watched Neji and Hinata. However, such a beautiful atmosphere is always destined to be disrupted by someone.
"Hey guys, that's enough," Tayuya said to Neji and the others, hands on her hips, looking annoyed.
Hinata blushed and immediately crawled out of Neji's arms. She looked at Neji shyly, her index fingers slightly touching, her whites flashing, too embarrassed to speak.
But the next moment, she suddenly realized something, instantly sobered up, and, suppressing her embarrassment, asked, "Neji-nii, who is she?"
"Haha, I'm Neji's closest teammate. We lived together for over a month."
Before Neji could speak, Tayu answered Hinata's question with a relieved smile. Heaven and earth could bear witness that she was telling the truth, and even Neji had no way to refute her.
"Neji-nii, is what she said true?" Hinata didn't believe Tayuya immediately, but looked at Neji instead. However, she was quickly disappointed because Neji didn't say anything.
He genuinely didn't know what to say, and Tayuya wasn't wrong.
But in Hinata's eyes... was this considered tacit agreement?
Hinata was on the verge of tears, but her eyes quickly hardened.
At this moment, Hinata was no longer the timid little girl, but had transformed into a fiercely protective husband. Neji seemed to see a spark in Hinata's pure Byakugan eyes, though he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination.
Hinata's mind was filled with only one thought: someone was trying to steal her Neji brother. So, she glared at Tayuya with a dark and hostile expression.
She felt she needed to assert her sovereignty.
"Neji is such a good person, yet he went out and brought back this woman. She must have seduced him." Hinata thought to herself, and an invisible aura instantly emanated from her, making Neji feel a chill.
Tayuya was no pushover either. Although she didn't know why, Neji's presence with other girls made her uncomfortable. It would have been fine if he only joked around with her, but this situation annoyed her.
Instantly, a strong smell of gunpowder filled the air. The two stared at each other, seemingly exchanging a silent conversation. Neji glanced at them indifferently, his intuition telling him that it was time to gracefully walk away and get away from this place of trouble.
In particular, when he saw that Sakura had also been dragged in, he suddenly remembered a saying from his past life: "Three women make a drama."
So, he strode out of the palace with a carefree air, muttering to himself, trying to hypnotize himself: What does all this have to do with me? The mission is the important thing.
He could vaguely hear crackling sounds coming from behind, and occasionally a loud rumbling sound, but he remained calm and composed as he walked outside the palace.
At this moment, Xiao Li was dealing with a large group of palace soldiers, but because of his status, he could not kill these soldiers, otherwise it would become an international problem, so he was at a stalemate.
"I really can't understand why, with the strength of the Five Great Villages, they should obey the daimyo of the Five Great Nations. Wouldn't it be better to take their place?" Neji muttered. He had never seen those daimyo accomplish anything, yet they bossed around a bunch of ninjas.
Neji couldn't understand it, but ice energy instantly appeared in his hand and quickly condensed into a flute.
"The Magic Flute: Dreamy Sound Lock!"
The melodious music reached the ears of all the nearby soldiers, and even Xiao Li was not immune, falling into a hallucination and unable to move.
"Neji."
When Lee saw Neji in front of him, he was shocked. Heaven knows what he had been through. He woke up to find his teammates gone, Root destroyed, and Danzo dead.
When he heard the news from Might Guy, his head was spinning, but now, he actually saw Neji again.
Chapter 115 There's Always a Scoundrel Trying to Harm Me
Neji stepped forward and broke the genjutsu for Lee. Tayuya's genjutsu was activated by sound. As long as the sound could be heard, everyone would fall into the genjutsu. In other words, Neji did not have a way to specifically target the person to whom the genjutsu needed to be cast.
Unless everyone else wears earplugs...
"Neji, you..." Lee asked in surprise and excitement after regaining his freedom, but he was attacked by Neji after only a few words.
"You should just get some sleep." Neji withdrew his hand, somewhat helplessly. Lee was even more annoying than Naruto when he talked. At least Naruto had his talk-no-jutsu to win people over, but Lee just made people want to punch him.
