Konoha: Naruto, trained by Aizen

He understood that, in terms of true strength, he was no match for Naruto, and his only chance was to strike first.

Naruto blocked all the attacks and launched a counterattack.

Neji, with his mysterious steps, managed to block Naruto's counterattack with great difficulty.

"Bang, bang, bang." The dull sounds of flesh striking flesh echoed in the room.

The audience held their breath, watching the scene intently.

"As expected of the highly anticipated Naruto, he blocked my attack so effortlessly." Neji secretly admired him.

Naruto has always been considered a genius who excels in ninjutsu, swordsmanship, and possesses a bloodline limit.

Few people noticed his physical skills.

Neji believed his taijutsu was not much inferior to Rock Lee's, but he did not expect that Naruto could perfectly defend against all of his attacks using only taijutsu.

However, I am a ninja specializing in taijutsu!

Neji's eyes sharpened, and his movements suddenly intensified.

He struck Naruto's pressure point with precise accuracy.

"Click." However, to his astonishment, Naruto easily grabbed his wrist and threw him into the air.

"Oh no, he's been hiding his true abilities all along!"

Feeling the whistling wind, Neji struggled to maintain his balance in the air.

"Hey, Neji." Naruto disappeared from sight, and then the sky was shrouded in shadow, accompanied by Naruto's indifferent tone.

"If this is the power you want to use to defy fate, then I advise you to submit to fate."

"Boom!" With a loud bang, Neji was shot down to the ground like a cannonball, his whole body wracked with pain.

Naruto calmly landed back on the ground, stretched out his right hand, caught the fluttering butterfly, and quietly admired it.

Calm and elegant.

"Are you kidding me? The Hyuga clan's genius is so easily defeated." Gasps of surprise echoed from the stands.

"That brat from the Hyuga clan is not bad, but unfortunately, he's still a bit inferior to my disciple." Danzo shook his head with a light laugh.

"Third Hokage, your village really has a lot of geniuses," exclaimed the Kazekage, played by Orochimaru.

"The battle has only just begun." The Third Hokage watched the battle with a smile, taking a deep drag on his pipe.

Neji lay in the deep pit, his back throbbing with pain, his body bearing injuries of varying degrees.

He seemed somewhat dazed, Naruto's sarcastic remark echoing in his mind.

Should someone like me just succumb to fate?

If it were my former self, I might have succumbed to despair.

But ever since Hinata pulled him out of despair, Neji has also developed a burning passion.

He clenched his fists, panting heavily, feeling a burning pain in his chest with each breath.

In order to change his fate, he chose to believe.

In order to change his fate, he chose to fight.

"Naruto, you are indeed very strong, whether it's your bloodline limit, ninjutsu, or taijutsu."

"From this exam onwards, you have been recognized by everyone as the strongest."

He staggered to his feet from the deep pit, and straightened his back under Naruto's calm gaze.

"Perhaps to you, I am just an opponent you can easily defeat."

"Perhaps to you, the fate I am fighting against is so ridiculous."

"but."

"You don't understand anything at all, so what gives you the right to deny me?"

"I will keep fighting and prove with my fists that fate is not insurmountable."

Even if it means death!

Neji's Byakugan veins bulged as he assumed a fighting stance.

"Clap clap clap." Naruto clapped his hands vigorously as he made the butterfly that was perched on his finger fly away.

"Very good, very enlightened. You've piqued my interest a bit." He slowly drew out the Mirror Flower Water Moon.

To be honest, Naruto initially disliked Neji and even despised him.

In the early days, Neji constantly talked about fate, mentioning it in everything he did, portraying himself as a frustrated and unsuccessful victim.

And they succumbed to it.

Despite possessing the talent to excel at dividing the family property, she chose to submit and became a self-pitying "bitter woman".

This kind of Neji not only made Naruto despise him, but he even killed him outright.

But at some point, Neji began to change.

He tried to fight back; he stopped arguing about his fate.

Instead, they will express their inner resentment through their actions.

His transformation caught Naruto's attention.

"Fate is something that is meant to be trampled underfoot. If you don't have the courage, you will become its nourishment."

"Show me your courage, stop running away like a dog."

"Shatter, you illusion, you mirage."

The Mirror Flower, Water Moon in Naruto's hand shattered suddenly, like a broken mirror, and disappeared into the air.

A gentle breeze swept by, rippling the view.

The stands were silent; everyone had already immersed themselves in the role of Neji.

A man who wants to fight against fate and refuse to submit to power.

This is a battle where the odds are heavily against each other!

"Gentle Fist - Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms." Neji launched the first attack.

However, his sprint speed was a bit slower than before, which shows that the injury still has some impact on him.

"Bang." However, before he could even touch Naruto, Neji's abdomen suddenly caved in, as if he had been struck by a heavy object, and he staggered back several steps.

"Is this what they call a mirage that affects our vision?" Neji's eyes widened.

Although he was somewhat prepared, he was still shocked when he actually faced this terrifying ability.

"What happened? It seems like in the blink of an eye, that genius from the Hyuga clan was defeated?"

There were gasps of surprise from the stands.

Even Orochimaru, disguised as the Kazekage, feigned surprise and said, "Hiss, Naruto's bloodline limit is quite amazing."

"Not bad, not bad." The Third Hokage nodded cheerfully: "We have a lot of geniuses in Konoha."

Looking at the Third Hokage's proud expression, Orochimaru couldn't help but sneer inwardly: "Teacher, teacher, keep being smug for now, you won't be laughing later."

After being repelled, Neji suddenly closed his eyes, and his breathing returned to calm.

"After learning about your bloodline limit, I have been training my sixth sense, abandoning sight and relying on my body's instincts! This is the key to breaking through the illusion."

"Not bad, this Neji is quite interesting." Aizen, who was inside Naruto, had just arrived in the sealed space when he saw this interesting scene. His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous look.

In his mind, the sixth sense might indeed be one of the means to break the illusion of a dream, which is why he planned to test the monster in the Seireitei, Kenpachi Zaraki.

That's a man who fights based on instinct.

With the planned day drawing ever closer, Aizen could not afford the slightest mishap.

Chapter 119 Meeting Aizen, the Konoha Crush Plan Officially Begins!

"Whoosh." Naruto used Shunpo to get in front of Neji and kicked out with his right leg.

"It's no use. Having cultivated a sixth sense, I've already seen through your illusions. You think you've deceived me, but actually, I know..."

"You're over here!" Neji turned around and raised his arms in another direction.

"Bang!" With a cry of surprise, a tremendous force struck, causing him to stagger back several steps, but he managed to block Naruto's attack.

"I succeeded! I've successfully cultivated my sixth sense?!" Neji's expression lit up with joy, but the next moment his hair stood on end as a gust of wind attacked from his right. Neji hastily parried, but a tremendous force came through his arm, followed by a numbing sensation.

With a sickeningly loud "bang," Naruto's right fist struck Neji's face, sending him flying.

“Cultivating the sixth sense is not just about abandoning your eyes.” His tone was calm and composed.

"Only through countless life-and-death battles can one hone their sixth sense. You're too naive, Neji."

"Hado I - Rush".

Naruto reappeared behind Neji, unleashing a shockwave from his right hand that slammed Neji's body into the wall.

The rubble scattered everywhere, causing the audience above to scream repeatedly.

Neji crawled out of the hole in a disheveled state, blood spilling from his mouth. He opened his eyes and saw Naruto, whose face was still gentle and whose demeanor was refined.

Yet this very gentle person manipulated his own vision, making him almost unable to believe what he was seeing.

No one can be sure whether the person they see is the same person, or whether the place they are in is the place they imagine.

Even if you close your eyes and abandon sight, it won't help.

This sense of the unknown weighs heavily on the mind, causing despair and a sense of fear to rise from the depths of one's heart.

"He is invincible. Whether it's bloodline limit or taijutsu, I am far inferior to him. If this continues, I will die."

Neji's lips even trembled involuntarily.

Only at that moment did he realize how desperate those who were manipulated by illusions and illusions truly were.

They didn't even know when Naruto's attack would come.

What a terrifying bloodline limit.
