The red-eyed kid stepped forward!
He stepped forward!
He made his appearance!
He actually mocked his opponent, stating that he would thoroughly defeat Neji, and the crowd cheered, cheering for Neji!
They moved, they made their Move!
The red-eyed kid was the first to use Fire Release, a signature Ninjutsu of the Uchiha Clan, and its scorching temperature was astonishing.
What?!
Neji, on the other side, simply used his fist to disperse the flames, leaving the entire arena dumbfounded and then erupting in excitement.
Is this the Gentle Fist of the Hyuga Clan?!
Is this the Gentle Fist?!
As countless people wondered, the unwilling red-eyed kid made a new Move.
He drew a kunai; he actually used a weapon, which was simply too despicable.
The red-eyed kid retorted, typing furiously on his keyboard, 'What's wrong with a Ninja using a kunai!'
Nothing is wrong, but that doesn't stop everyone from despising him!
Seemingly threatened by the kunai, Neji-tongxue (Neji, classmate) dodged, constantly dodging.
The red-eyed kid showed a triumphant smile; he was too arrogant, simply too arrogant.
What!?
Neji-tongxue (Neji, classmate) actually knocked the kunai out of the red-eyed kid's hand with a single blow; it was simply unbelievable.
The counterattack began, and Neji-tongxue (Neji, classmate) used his clan's signature Move, Gentle Fist.
One palm, two palms... accompanied by a silent KO!
Neji-tongxue (Neji, classmate) knocked out this red-eyed kid with an uppercut, completing his experience package harvest.
What a thrilling battle!
...Neji looked with satisfaction at the harvested experience, a stark contrast to the red-eyed kid lying on the ground, questioning his life.
As for the name of this red-eyed kid, sorry! A guy who won't survive a year later doesn't deserve a name.
So Neji didn't care what he was called, returned to class, and spent a leisurely day.
Until after school, Neji waited for Hinata at the school gate, and the two walked home together.
On the way, Neji asked, "How have things been at school recently?"
"It's okay, it's just that the class is a bit too lively; Kiba, Naruto, and the others are too energetic," Hinata said somewhat shyly.
Neji nodded, "I see. If there's a chance, invite them to the training ground; I have something to discuss with them."
Hinata hummed softly, secretly glancing at Neji, a little curious why her older brother wanted to invite them.
But looking at the smile on Neji's lips, she thought for a moment with her small head, it should be a good thing!
Otherwise, why would Neji-nīchan (Neji, older brother) be smiling so happily? She definitely had to help Neji-nīchan (Neji, older brother) invite them.
And at this moment, Neji was thinking, 'Lively is good, full of energy is great!'
By then, they should recover faster, allowing for more experience harvesting.
It would also solve Hinata's troubles, making them less noisy during class.
With Neji's lips slightly curved, Hinata had no idea that she was unwittingly helping him.
The two chatted until they reached Neji's laboratory and stopped.
"Alright, Hinata, you go home first. I still have some things to do today; I'll be home later."
"Okay!"
Except for the days he taught Hinata, Neji almost always stayed in his laboratory, returning home only at night.
After seeing Hinata off, Neji entered his laboratory, a character like him.
He didn't have to worry about Anbu or Root members watching him, nor about the Third Hokage's peeping Ninjutsu.
After all, isn't the bathhouse not white?
Looking at the bottles and jars in the room, and some fake eyes, these were all just surface decorations.
Consider it another type of project, like a Hokage-version monitor; these fake eyes were made for that purpose.
After all, even as a superficial tool, some things still needed to be researched.
Based on the research of fake eyes, combined with Summoning Ninjutsu and the like, they were very effective as monitors.
However, the drawbacks were obvious: currently, they weren't very concealed or flexible, which needed improvement.
Setting aside these superficial things, Neji went underground, where it wasn't very large.
But it contained Neji's important possessions: the Clone apparatus he built with his own hands.
Of course, it was still an unfinished product, because many things had to be built by him personally.
Buying them was impossible; firstly, there were no channels, and secondly, it would expose him.
So, he basically built them himself, piece by piece, by borrowing Tenten's workshop.
Flipping through his notes, he began today's assembly work, pondering some matters in his mind.
"Currently, mass cloning of Byakugan is difficult, but not too big of a problem."
With his [Bloodline Factor] technology, dealing with these was not an issue; now, only the apparatus limited him.
"The problem is how to achieve Fusion; this is still somewhat unclear at the moment."
"But I can make some Byakugan first and test them out."
"Maybe with a 'snap,' they'll fuse on their own; that's not impossible."
Thinking of this, Neji also smiled; in a world full of bugs, it wasn't impossible.
After all, regarding the Tenseigan, if he recalled correctly, Toneri said it was the eye of Ōtsutsuki Hamura.
This means it's highly likely that it evolved after Hamura moved to the moon.
Anyway, they are all plot holes; if Kishimoto doesn't fill them, there's nothing that can be done. As for boruto, what even is that? He hasn't even watched it.
"Well! Anyway, the science of my previous life couldn't explain the Pirate World, nor can it explain the Hokage World. Many things still need to be tried first."
After some thought, Neji stopped agonizing. At worst, he would just go to the moon in the Late Stage.
He would directly seize the Giant Tenseigan. If one awakening wasn't enough, wouldn't a second awakening work?
Moreover, there's even a third awakening. Can't I win when I'm max Rank?
Thinking of these sweet prospects, Neji continued assembling, aiming to make it usable at least a year later.
At the current pace, it's a bit tough; pure manual work is too taxing... One year later.
Days passed one by one, accompanied by the torment of the twelve major experience packages.
Neji successfully reached Rank 15, and even surpassed it to Rank 16.
The laboratory was also completed early because the hot pot restaurant's profits had soared.
Now, there are numerous branches controlled by the Hyuga Clan in various places, yielding substantial profits.
Neji also became more extravagant, able to purchase many items and slightly modify them.
Currently eight years old, his DNF (Dungeon Fighter Online) class, Qi Master, has reached Rank 16, with no need for a class advancement quest.
Many of the skills do not have the same learning Rank as in the game, and many skills do not exist.
Currently mastered skills include:
Awakening (Passive Skill): Activates some of the character's latent abilities upon class advancement, increasing ability values.
Throwing Mastery (Passive Skill): Increases the power and accuracy of thrown objects.
Backstep: Allows the user to take a small hop backward to evade enemy attacks.
Rank 1 Basic Skills: Back Kick, Uppercut, Front Kick
Rank 5 Skills: Low Kick, Clone, Knee Kick, Back Break.
Rank 10 Skills: Adamantine Crash, Eagle Kick, Iron Body (Passive Skill), Shunpo, Swift Pursuit.
Rank 15 Skills: Nen Sense (Passive Skill), Affinity for Light (Passive Skill), Nen Shot, Thunder Stomp, Sand Throw, Spirit Ball.
Among them, Thunder Stomp infuses lightning power into the leg for an attack, dealing lightning damage.
And Spirit Ball gathers Nen into a small spherical projectile, which expands upon impact, bearing a resemblance to the Rasengan.
These are the skills Neji currently possesses, not including Ninjutsu like Gentle Fist.
Caily: Ah, my nostalgic homeland. Bang haha ^_^.
