Naruto: The Byakugan is weak? I’m super strong! Chapter 031

“I forfeit!”

Nara Shikamaru decisively raised his small hand.

“Why forfeit? Your teammates Choji and Ino are both eager to try!”

Iruka looked at the Shikamaru trio in confusion.

Influenced by the inertial thinking of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

He instinctively grouped them into the same team.

“Hyuga Neji is a genius of the Hyuga clan. His Byakugan can observe us with almost no blind spots.

There’s no point in hiding anywhere. In such a situation, with our current strength.

The best course of action is to escape, not to hide and wait to be eliminated by the enemy. Therefore, I won’t hide. I choose to forfeit, which means to directly escape.”

Shikamaru yawned tiredly.

His eyes were even watery.

“Then, Choji and Ino?”

Iruka looked awkwardly at the other two.

He had just said they were eager to try.

In reality, Choji had been focused on the snacks in his hand; he trusted Shikamaru’s words more.

Among them, Shikamaru had been the smartest since childhood.

As for Ino, she only resented that Sakura was in the same group as Sasuke.

She had also considered whether her other two teammates could resist other enemies if she controlled Neji.

The answer, naturally, was no.

Even she herself was still a beginner at the Mind Transfer Jutsu and couldn’t maintain it for more than a few seconds.

As soon as she heard Iruka and Shikamaru’s conversation, she decisively nodded.

“Then you guys rest for a bit.”

Iruka helplessly looked at another teacher.

It was truly difficult to have students who could make such decisive judgments before a battle.

After all, at this age, constant fighting, like Naruto, should be the mainstream.

He had thought that this new generation, who grew up after the Nine-Tails incident, would lack combat thinking more.

He didn’t expect that even a lazy genius was still a genius.

“So tired, thinking with my brain is truly exhausting.”

Shikamaru leaned against the wall, listening to Choji eating potato chips.

“Where are Sakura and Sasuke hiding? They wouldn’t be in the bushes, would they?”

Ino angrily clenched her fists.

“Hey, Shikamaru.

I say, who do you think will last until the end?

Is it Sasuke’s group, or Kongyue’s?”

Choji’s eyes seemed to be narrowed.

“I don’t know, but Inuzuka Kiba’s group will definitely be eliminated first.”

Shikamaru said as expected.

“Why?”

Choji blinked and looked at the training ground.

“Because they’ve already been eliminated!”

Ino also felt fortunate about her decision.

Four teams had already been eliminated from the training ground.

This included Inuzuka Kiba’s group.

“Damn it, what’s the point of playing hide-and-seek with the Hyuga clan?”

Inuzuka Kiba held Akamaru and questioned the older students.

Woof woof woof!

Akamaru expressed agreement; it was too un-immersive.

They were just hidden and then their location was immediately determined by Byakugan.

What was the point of hiding then?

Who came up with this game of hide-and-seek with an opponent who essentially had X-ray vision?

On the rooftop.

Naruto crossed his arms and grinned.

Sakura and Sasuke were holding kunai.

They weren’t particularly coordinated, but they chose a high place immediately. Although being discovered by the Byakugan was only a matter of time, they could still fight back.

Since there was nowhere to hide, there was no reason to hide.

On the other hand, Kongyue, Hinata, and Shino had been consistently hiding, neither on the upper floor nor discovered by Neji.

Suddenly.

Hyuga Neji spun around abruptly.

He seemed to understand, but what followed was fury!

With veins bulging on his forehead, he changed direction at top speed.

The sound of three people moving echoed through the trees.

“You actually used that move!”

Neji didn’t wait for his other two teammates to act.

Filled with rage, he charged into the thicket immediately.

“Not good!”

Neji’s class teacher noticed the anomaly; he sensed that Neji wasn’t just looking for someone.

He rushed to stop the seven-year-old Hyuga Neji.

Iruka heard his colleague’s voice and also understood that something unusual was happening.

He immediately went to save the Kongyue trio.

“Damn it!”

Hyuga Neji strode forward, his palm turned back, accumulating power.

One hand had already finished accumulating chakra in his palm while moving.

He saw the chakra flow of all three opponents before him.

This technique of his was a very powerful skill in Gentle Fist.

He could even strike five palms in an instant!

For the Hyuga clan, who could destroy the enemy’s body meridians with their Gentle Fist, these five palms would be enough to cripple Kongyue and the others on the spot.

Swish!

A palm was unleashed.

Thumb tucked in, four fingers together.

The Kongyue trio quickly retreated, appearing in a relatively safe area.

Three figures quickly appeared, taking all three Hyuga Kongyue away from the scene.

“Iruka, give us some time.”

A Hyuga clan ninja left a message and took them away.

Iruka noticed that even Anbu members appeared and quickly disappeared.

The scene fell silent.

Hyuga Neji felt an unforgivable rage at the vitality.

But the center of his forehead was still throbbing.

If Hyuga Hiashi had been there just now, what would have happened to him?

After all, there were three Anbu guards protecting Hyuga Hinata.

“Neji, this is just a practice session with the lower grades. How could you be so ruthless to your comrades during training!”

Hyuga Neji’s teacher still felt a little scared thinking about it.

Neji was usually extremely calm, even profound.

He didn’t expect him to suddenly get angry.

“It’s nothing, just a scare.”

Neji turned away; only he understood what had just happened.

The reason he couldn’t find the Hyuga Kongyue trio.

Was because they exploited his weakness.

They did their best to hide in the 1/360 blind spot.

Damn caged bird!

Damn Main Branch!

Hyuga Neji’s fingernails were practically digging into his palms.

Such a restricted life, like a bird trapped in a cage.

The tall walls of Konoha Village were the prison that confined him, Hyuga Neji!

“Just like back then!”

Shikamaru’s pupils constricted; he noticed the trick.

“Like what?”

Choji was still a bit confused, completely bewildered by Neji’s outburst.

“We won! Oh! Even Big Brother Kongyue lost, we won! Woohoo!”

Naruto’s cheer suddenly came from the rooftop.

They emerged from behind the eaves. Sasuke said nothing, and Sakura smiled a bit awkwardly.

“Ah!! Iruka-sensei!”

Naruto slipped and immediately fell down.

“It’s okay!”

Iruka leaped up and saved Naruto. What an unexpected training session.

“Naruto is so lucky!”

Woof woof woof!

Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru barked in protest.

…

In the three different conference rooms of the school.

Three Hyuga clan ninjas were interrogating the ninja academy students.

“Among you, who thought of exploiting Neji’s weakness?”

“Shino!”

“Shino~”

“Me.”

The Kongyue team answered simultaneously.

They were given the same answer.

After a brief silence, they said with a smile:

“The Aburame clan has truly produced an amazing ninja. They live up to their reputation for intelligence gathering!”

Ten minutes later, the three returned to the classroom as if nothing had happened.

Kongyue sat back in his seat.

The scenes from earlier flashed across his face.

He also recalled the last time they went on a forest outing.

Indeed.

Coincidence was the best arrangement.

Kongyue smiled contentedly, which also meant that breaking free from the cage needed to happen soon.

Recalling Neji’s pained expression.

Kongyue felt the same way in his heart.

He should have realized it earlier. Before the original Chunin Exams, all nine of their peers were surprised by Neji’s strength and Rock Lee’s brilliance.

Clearly, there hadn’t been much interaction before that, at most they had only heard their names.

How could they all be so familiar so early?

It was nothing more than ulterior motives.

And indeed, it was true.

However.

The first time on the forest outing, Kongyue standing at that particular spot was a coincidence among coincidences.

He just happened to use his relationship with Naruto and the last remaining spot next to Shino.

In other words, Kongyue deliberately created a “forced” position for himself.

What about this time?

The Aburame clan, skilled in intelligence, had also taught Shino many things after the outing.

That’s why there was this trio’s coordinated evasion.

Kongyue had even prepared to be caught and then finish with a shuriken.

Instead, Shino’s suggestion changed the battle.

It just happened to draw out the mastermind.

To put it plainly, even Neji became a pawn.

…

Konoha Conference Room.

Hyuga Hiashi sat in a corner.

“Our people have no problem.”

He said this and then stood up immediately.

White smoke occasionally billowed from Sarutobi Hiruzen’s pipe.

Danzō, who had been observing for a long time, spoke with a cold laugh.

“Hiashi-sama, do you think someone might be lurking among your Hyuga clan’s guards that day?”

“My Byakugan can discern, there was no anomaly.”

Hiashi walked out of the conference room, and the door closed behind him.

Bang!

Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed the table.

“What are you saying?

Danzō! The Hyuga clan’s Caged Bird is the best restriction for a bloodline limit!

Don’t stir up trouble at this moment.”

Danzō spread his hands, saying happily:

“Hiruzen, I understand what you mean.

But it’s too strange that traces of a mysterious person appeared before the plan even began.

The current situation is unclear, and there are many people outside the village eyeing us.

If necessary, we should also activate the wartime ninja academy system and stockpile more genin.”

“Ninjas are not tools; they cannot be simply stockpiled. They must have the Will of Fire!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen’s words did not sway Danzō.

“What else? Ninjas are indeed tools. When necessary, you and I are also tools!”

Danzō walked out of the conference room, leaving a final remark as he departed.

“If that mysterious person from the Uchiha clan reappears, then activate the wartime genin reserve plan, and let battle temper the will of the ninja.”

“You still don’t understand the Will of Fire!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat down.

He only wished that the mysterious person would not appear in any village again.

Because that would mean the ninja world would enter a state of war readiness.

The high-ranking officials of the major ninja villages had surprisingly consistent theories about the Nine-Tails attack that year.

“Did Minato Namikaze’s death not stop his progress?

Who exactly is he? Why does he appear at this crucial moment?

Is he threatening us in the name of the Uchiha?”

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn’t know.

The true mysterious person in their eyes had not yet appeared.

When he truly appeared, it would not be to aid the Uchiha, but to utterly obliterate them.
