Neji's next words became more and more outrageous and merciless, criticizing Hinata in all aspects from her posture to her strength.
And this criticism is not only because of Hinata's introverted character, but also because of the gap and injustice between the Hyuga family and the branch families.
"So, you've noticed, right? You absolutely can't change yourself."
Looking at Hinata who was about to shed tears after being scolded by Neji, Naruto's fists clenched unconsciously after he had just received her wound medicine.
"Can!"
He shouted loudly from the stands.
Neji turned his head with his Byakugan activated and stared fiercely at Naruto who was speaking out for Hinata.
"Who do you think you are when you just judge other people's hearts?"
"Hinata, kill this guy quickly."
Hyuga Hinata, who was holding tears in her eyes, stared blankly at Uzumaki Naruto who spoke for her.
Naruto slapped the railing in front of him angrily, and the iron guardrail buzzed as he slapped it, and even had a slight dent.
"Rebuttal, Hinata, you should speak a few words to rebut him."
"I can't stand it anymore here."
"Why do you let others deny you so much?"
Naruto-kun is encouraging himself...
Hinata lowered her head and silently formed a seal with her hands.
"Do what you say, this is my way of tolerance."
The image of Naruto fighting with his clone in the woods came to her mind.
I won't run away, Naruto.
Roll your eyes.
She also activated the Byakugan, the natural skill of the Hyuga clan, and assumed a soft fist posture to face Hyuga Neji.
Game start.
But the battle that followed can be described as horrific.
Compared to Hinata, Ningci's strength can be said to be overwhelming in all aspects. No matter how Hinata attacks, Neji will dodge him, and Neci's attacks are sharp, making it difficult for Hinata to parry.
His Byakugan could already see through the acupuncture points, and his chakra attacks accurately sealed Hinata's meridians.
Even though Hinata, encouraged by Naruto, had exerted her own strength to an extraordinary level, she was still abused by Neji.
After being knocked down again, Hinata struggled to stand up from the court, but her steps became more and more shaky.
The meridians were blocked by Rou Fist, the acupoints transporting chakra were blocked, and the body was covered in bruises.
Moonlight Hayate observed Hinata's condition, raised his hand and prepared to judge the loss.
Noticing Moonlight Hayate's movements, Neji also stopped his hand and said with a high voice like a winner:
"It's useless, just give up."
"I can see that you are struggling just to stand now, right?"
"You have been burdened with the fate of the Hyuga clan since you were born. You are constantly resentful and blaming yourself for your incompetence."
"But people can't change."
"This is fate."
Can't change a person's birth? Everything is fate?
Neji's words made a certain yellow-haired ninja in the stands even more unhappy, and a certain demon fox in his body also noticed something strange about him, and quietly leaked part of his chakra out of the seal and gave it to his host.
At this time, the railing held by Naruto's hand had deformed.
"You don't need to make yourself suffer anymore, just take it easy."
Neji was still outputting, but Hinata opposite him shook her head gently.
"No, Brother Neji."
"I can see that all this time... you are in more pain than me."
"What?"
Hearing Hinata's words, Neji was a little stunned.
"In the fate of the clan and branch families, you are the one who is confused and in pain."
This sentence completely touched the hidden pain in Neji's heart.
Lies don't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife.
Neji, whose defense was broken, didn't even care about Hinata, who was already swaying from side to side. He opened his eyes, yelled and waved towards the opponent as if he had lost his mind.
His current state made several Jonin on the stage sigh inwardly, and they were about to take action at the same time, but a figure was faster than them, and came to Hinata one step ahead, protecting her behind him, forcefully
He received a soft punch that would have landed on Hinata.
Naruto's eyes were already filled with beast pupils.
At this time, his whole body was filled with the scarlet chakra of the Nine Tails.
He did not fight back and resisted two or three soft punches. The other ninja instructors were also surprised at Naruto's state at this time and controlled him together with the crazy Neji.
The Sandaime Hokage, who spied this scene, also waved his hand to stop the ANBU who were about to take action because of Naruto's violent behavior.
"Neji, enough is enough."
Metkai clung to Neji's back and hugged his student from behind.
"Didn't you make a promise to me that you won't have any conflicts with others over the Zong family?"
Neji was even more unhappy when his movements were blocked, and his tone of voice lost its usual sense of propriety, like a hedgehog with fried hair.
"Why did the Jonin also take action? Is this the special treatment given to the clan?"
Seeing Neji like this, Naruto spat out the blood foam rising in his mouth with disdain.
"Oh, it's really ugly, the genius of the Hyuga family."
"What?"
Being ridiculed by the guy who he thought was the tail end of the crane made Neji, who had just cooled down a little, become red-hot again.
"If you're a meddling guy, if you're a ninja, don't do stupid things like cheering others on."
"You can only make weak people bear meaningless burdens and do stupid things that exceed their abilities."
"Hinata is where she is now because of your stupidity."
"In the final analysis, a crane tail is still a crane tail. Even if you are lucky enough to advance in this round, it will not change."
Behind him, Hinata coughed and fell to the ground.
After struggling to break away from the referee who came to control the situation, Naruto created a shadow clone. The other ninja instructors watching the battle couldn't help but become cautious when they saw Naruto's movements, and were prepared. If Naruto made any change, they were ready to kill him.
He restrained it.
However, he saw that his shadow clone only gently supported the collapsed Hinata, while the main body raised his head, and his beast-like pupils were like sharp knives, staring directly into Hinata Neji's white eyes.
"Want to try?"
"The few attacks you just made were not powerful enough to hit anyone. Are you worthy of being called a genius of the Hyuga family?"
The atmosphere was tense for a moment.
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been watching, coughed at this time.
"The victory or defeat should be decided in the official competition, and it should not affect the subsequent selection."
With the Hokage's words, the fight naturally couldn't start, which made some of the ninjas from the outer village who were ready to watch the show a little regretful.
Sasuke understood Naruto's impulse just now.
People like them, who grew up in a unique environment, will keep it in their hearts and repay those who have given them warmth.
"You did well, Naruto."
After Naruto returned to his side, he expressed his approval.
Sakura also said:
"Naruto just now gave people a very reliable feeling, which is rare."
And Naruto was still thinking about the scene of Hinata falling and Neji's face that wanted to choose others to devour.
After taking a deep breath, he said slowly but firmly:
"I'll knock him down."
"absolute."
Hot-blooded idiot...
Sasuke turned around, spread his hands towards Naruto, and said:
"Then you have to work harder. Momentum alone is not enough. The guy named Neji should have hidden strength."
