Neji immediately leaped into the air, landing on the crystal dragon's back, his fingers flashing rapidly.

"Eight Trigrams - Cloud Finger!"

Piu~Piu~Piu~

Like machine guns, beams of white light, each as thick as a finger, rained down from above, heading straight for Pain.

"Shinra Tensei!"

Pain's body trembled, instantly dispersing the incoming white light, but almost in the blink of an eye, the white light returned.

"Paper shields!"

Konan instantly gathered a large pile of paper scraps in front of her, forming a large shield that barely blocked Neji's attack.

Pain seized the opportunity to retreat, using Universal Pull to pull Neji to his side. He then kicked Neji in the stomach, but the kick passed right through Neji's stomach.

"Shinra Tensei!"

He sensed something was wrong and tried to knock Neji away, but Neji was unaffected. While Pain was stunned, Neji dodged his foot and then delivered a powerful blow to his face with his Gentle Step Twin Lion Fist.

Just as Neji was about to deliver a few more blows, his eyes suddenly became misty. In his dazed state, he saw Konan die, and Nagato prematurely resurrect Madara Uchiha after Akatsuki's defeat...

Predict the future!

The scene ends here, and this is the consequence of him continuing. What will happen after Madara Uchiha is resurrected is a mystery, and it is impossible to see through it.

"almost."

Based on his intuition, he felt that Madara Uchiha's premature resurrection was definitely not a good thing.

"The Magic Flute: Dreamy Sound Lock!"

He seemed to see a lot, but in reality it was just a fleeting illusion. After waking up, Neji immediately used the jade flute made of ice to cast a genjutsu.

In an instant, both sides, friend and foe, were trapped in an illusion and unable to move.

However, in the next instant, Itachi's body suddenly felt light and he broke free from control, while Neji fell onto the gold dust, giving the impression that the genjutsu had been deflected.

Itachi glanced at Neji with a puzzled look, but dared not linger and quickly led the rest of the Akatsuki away.

After they left, Neji finally got up and dispelled the illusion for the others.

He had already done his best; he had single-handedly fought the entire Akatsuki organization before. Even though Gaara was still dead, they were still extremely grateful to him.

As for letting them leave in the end... Heh, did I let them leave? Everyone knows Itachi can reflect genjutsu; he reflected it back at me, making me fall for it by accident.

Soon after, Naruto and his friends returned, and to Neji's surprise, they had defeated Kakuzu.

"We're brothers in misfortune, if we're going to die, we'll die together, just like always." Neji sighed, marveling at the deep brotherhood between Kakuzu and Hidan.

After this battle, the Akatsuki lost two members out of ten, and the immortal duo disappeared. However, Sasori survived.

Just like in the story, Chiyo sacrificed her own life to use the Reanimation Jutsu to revive Gaara. After this helped Rasa and Gaara resolve their differences, Neji also ended his Edo Tensei.

"What, Neji, are you still not willing to go back to the village?" Tenten asked hopefully on the way back to Sunagakure.

"Hmm..." Neji looked up at the sky. Come to think of it, he had been wandering around for two and a half years. He originally wanted to travel all over the five great countries, but he never expected that his ideals were so lofty while reality was so harsh.

"The only place left is the Land of Earth. Although the black soil is very appealing to me... no, although the Dust Release is very appealing, I should still go back to the village and take a look."

Chapter 139 I Order You to Infiltrate the Akatsuki Organization

On the way back to Konoha, Tenten and Sakura stayed by Neji's side, telling him about their experiences over the past two and a half years. Even Rock Lee and Naruto would often chime in with their own comments.

They were all quite happy because Neji had agreed to return to Konoha, and they shouted that they should go to the barbecue restaurant tonight to welcome Neji back.

"Hey you guys, Neji's mine, get out of the way!" Shion lay completely on top of Neji, looking at the group of people who were like third wheels in front of her, and waved her fist in a warning gesture.

She still can't forget the way Temari looked when Neji left, so reluctant to let him go, as if she wanted to tie him back to Sunagakure. To be honest, Shion thinks that if she hadn't been unable to defeat Neji, she might have actually done that.

It was then that she realized how naive she had been to let Neji go out with them without thinking. She should have realized it sooner.

There are too many rivals for her affections!

"Uh...we just have a small problem. How should I put it? You'll understand when we get to the village," Tian Tian said, squinting her eyes and grinning from ear to ear.

Sakura nodded in deep agreement.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Ziyuan looked at the two of them suspiciously, and a bad feeling suddenly arose in her heart.

"Neji, how is Sasuke doing?" Naruto asked, holding the back of his head.

"Ah, it's alright. After all, I left Orochimaru a long time ago, so I don't know how he is now," Neji said.

"I see... By the way, let's spar sometime." Naruto rubbed his hands together, his eyes crinkling with a smile. Of his classmates, only Sasuke and Neji were still genin.

It felt like we were both in the same boat.

"Ah, alright then." Neji's lips twitched slightly, but he was thinking to himself, "Has this guy already forgotten what happened at the hospital?"

"Yoshi! Let's stride confidently toward Konoha! My blood is boiling! I'm going to run 500 laps around Konoha today!" Lee exclaimed excitedly.

"Beautiful, Li, run towards youth."

"Yes, Teacher Kai!"

After saying that, the two of them actually disappeared without a trace.

"It really is true, nothing has changed at all." Neji couldn't help but feel happy. Everything was still the same as before he left, and there was no sense of things being different.

Suddenly, Neji stopped and turned to look into the dense forest. He activated his Byakugan and then disappeared into the distance amidst the puzzled gazes of the others, only to reappear moments later.

"Neji, what's wrong?" Sakura asked.

"It's nothing, I just helped a wayward girl," Neji said nonchalantly, but you could see a hint of happiness on his face.

"A fallen girl?" The group was suspicious, and their excitement, combined with Neji's joy, made them feel that something was amiss.

Neji never expected that after rescuing the woman, the system would double his physical abilities, allowing him to successfully open the Gate of Rest.

When luck comes, there's no stopping it.

Not long after, the group returned to Konoha. Neji looked at the streets that were no different from before and immediately had the same feeling as Tsunade when she returned to the village.

"Everyone, Neji is back!!!"

As soon as he stepped into the village, Naruto shouted at the top of his lungs. No one knew how he did it, but his voice was deafening and could be heard almost throughout Konoha.

"Is this the result of your training?" Neji looked at Naruto, who was still shouting, and wanted to punch him. This was practically a public execution.

"Shion, you'll soon find out what we mean," Sakura whispered.

Ziyuan grew increasingly suspicious.

After Naruto shouted, Konoha seemed to suddenly fall silent for a moment, or perhaps it was just his imagination. But a moment later, a cloud of dust appeared in front of them, and a group of people were running towards them frantically.

"What, what's going on?" Ziyuan admitted that she was frightened.

"Neji, you're finally back! You know what? I've learned a really powerful ninjutsu that lets me fly out of the chains."

"Neji-nii-san, I, I..."

"Alright, let me speak. Ahem, Neji, I've already become a genin, you know."

"Wow, wow, it's really lively here."

"Long time no see, Neji."

A group of people were chattering away; they were all Neji's former acquaintances: Karin, Hinata, Hanabi, Kurenai Yuhi, Anko Mitarashi, and Ino. Hmm? Who the hell is Ino?

In short, the group shouted for a long time, but Neji didn't hear a word. Finally, Shizune came over and said that Tsunade needed to talk to him, which saved him from the predicament.

"Phew~ I'm saved."

Upon arriving at the Hokage's office building, Neji hesitated for a moment before knocking on the door. Tsunade's voice soon came from inside, and Neji then went in.

Upon entering, they discovered that not only Tsunade was inside, but also Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.

Neji didn't have a good impression of either of them. He remembered that two and a half years ago, when he was fighting Danzo, these two wanted to take him down.

"Neji, can you tell us what you know about Danzo?" Tsunade knew these people didn't get along, so she spoke first.

"You've all gone into the lab, so what else do I need to say? Whether it's dismembering the First Hokage, slaughtering the Senju and Uchiha clans, secretly conducting human experiments with Orochimaru, or murdering the Third and Fifth Hokage, any one of these is enough to make him die a hundred times over."

Neji spoke calmly, "Danzo deserves to die. He harmed so many people for the sake of Konoha. Although the Third Hokage also bears responsibility, but... anyway, Danzo is known as the Kage of the Ninja Clan. Even if he's dead, he will still live on in our hearts."

"The Uchiha clan intended to rebel, and they deserved it," Koharu Utatane said coldly.

"Heh, if it weren't for Danzo and you old guys pressing them step by step, would almost the entire Uchiha clan have considered rebelling against the village? Even if they did, Shisui's Kotoamatsukami could have stopped the rebellion. Don't tell me you don't know what Danzo has done?!" Neji said coldly.

The group fell silent. Indeed, Danzo's laboratory contained a considerable amount of... incriminating evidence, even including that of Uchiha Kagami...

"We've brought you here today to ask you to keep this secret, to conceal Danzo's crimes, and at the same time, to act as a rogue ninja to monitor Uchiha Itachi, who is hiding among them," Koharu Utatane commanded. "With your strength, they will accept you."

"Wait, this isn't what we agreed on!" Tsunade suddenly exclaimed. "Wasn't the purpose of summoning Neji here to ask for his opinion on how to deal with Danzo?"

"Isn't this a safe and sound way to handle it?"

"I disagree!!"

"Lady Tsunade, Danzo's actions must be concealed, otherwise it will cause panic among the major clans of Konoha, a responsibility you cannot bear," Koharu Utatane sneered.

"Impossible. He should pay the price for what he did. I will never let Neji bear the infamy."

"Tsunade..."

“You old hag, don’t think that just because you don’t have many years left to live, I won’t dare to kill you. Danzo is a precedent for you.”

Before Koharu could finish speaking, Neji interrupted her, and at the same time, Neji began to exude a faint aura of danger.

Chapter 140 Danzo is a ruthless scapegoat.

laugh!

Neji coldly stared at Koharu Utatane, flicked his finger, and instantly a powerful surge of chakra flowed, transforming into a wave of energy that impacted her, causing her old, cloudy eyes to involuntarily open.

"How is this possible?!"

Koharu Utatane's eyes widened in shock. This chakra was far too immense, completely beyond their comprehension. In their minds, even their teacher, Tobirama Senju, was no more than this.

They were already shocked that a 13-year-old boy had destroyed Root and killed Danzo before their very eyes, but now, only a few years later, he had grown to this level.

It seems like they could be crushed with a flick of the wrist!
