Starting from Hokage

As night approached, in the Kingdom of Yu, among the dense grass nearly as tall as a man, there was a scarred female ninja running away desperately.

She held back the tears in her eyes and forcibly controlled herself not to think about the fate of her companions who blocked her pursuit.

In the world of ninjas, due to the emergence of chakra, ninjutsu, illusions and other supernatural abilities, the physical combat power gap between men and women is no longer that wide.

Therefore, it has become a certain practice to form a group of three, with two male ninjas paired with a female ninja. If the female ninja gets married, she will often choose one of her two male companions.

Of course, in the ninja world, the profession of ninja has priority in choosing a spouse. As long as you are a ninja, if you are not too picky, you can always find a beautiful/handsome civilian of the opposite sex to marry. Even if you are just a genin, you still He will be called "sir" by a large number of civilians.

It was too far. The female ninja from the Kingdom of Yu, who had three water wave-shaped markings on her forehead, ran with all her strength, hoping to successfully pass on the information.

Although several homing pigeons have been released to deliver information, I am afraid that they have all been intercepted midway. As a vassal state of the Country of Fire, the strength of Yuno Country Yunin Village is very good among small countries. Konoha's influence on Yunin Village Ninjas have also undergone a certain degree of training, but if they can be compared with the Kumo ninja whose absolute strength is almost the same as that of Konoha Gang, the gap is still huge.

Fire, wind, water, thunder, and earth, this is the strength ranking of the five major nations passed down by old people. The Konoha Ninja Village of the Fire Country is certainly the strongest ninja village on the mainland, followed by the Sand Ninja Village of the Wind Country and the Water Country. Kirigakure Village, Thunder Country Cloud Ninja Village, Earth Country Iwa Ninja Village.

However, the national situation will change over time. As the second generation Raikage and the second generation Ai developed the thunder escape chakra mode and many ninjutsu and swordsmanship, Kumogakure Village gradually developed into a place that respected swordsmanship. Ninja Village, a martial arts school that competes with ninja taijutsu, has greatly increased its combat power.

Its strength has gradually increased to the level of the Konoha Ninja Village of the Fire Country. The Earth Country Iwa Ninja Village has relied on the natural geographical barrier to hide its strength and bide its time in recent years, cultivating many united and determined ninjas. Its strength is increasing day by day. On the contrary, Konoha and Sand The overall strength of Shinobi and Kiri Shinobi has declined slightly over the years due to various factors. The fluctuations in people's hearts caused by this increase and decrease cannot be explained simply.

Accompanied by bursts of "sizzling" sounds like the surge of electricity, like the perspective of a wild beast hunting, a shadow suddenly cut through the grass and quickly chased the female ninja from Yuno Country who was running forward.

The movement speed of this female ninja is already very fast, but the speed of the pursuer behind her can only be described as lightning fast.

(Damn it, I can’t escape!)

He bit his lip with his teeth, blood flowed, and he used pain to forcibly cheer up his exhausted spirit and body.

The next moment, the female ninja from the Country of Yu suddenly jumped up into the air just before a swift shadow struck behind her. Her hanging body was almost synchronized with the falling sunlight.

In this way, a hidden weapon fired with full force can penetrate the opponent's body relatively easily under the cover of sunlight.

swish swish swish...

clang clang clang clang...

However, the difference in strength was even greater than she imagined!

The chasing Cloud ninja faced the Senboname raining down, and his speed did not slow down at all. He was dancing with a kunai in one hand in mid-air, and with a burst of sparks flickering, all the Senboname needles were They were both shot down, and the next moment the two bodies collided in mid-air.

(Ninjutsu? Heavy flow!)

The Cloud Ninja concentrated a large amount of Thunder Chakra on his elbow and hit the abdomen of the female ninja from the Kingdom of Yu. Along with a strong needle-pricking sensation, the female ninja from the Kingdom of Yu felt paralyzed muscles all over her body. He instantly lost all ability to resist and fell to the ground.

"Woo... The third Ninja War has just ended. The previous generation of Raikage also died on the battlefield. Does Kumo Ninja do this to start the fourth Ninja War?" Unable to control his body, he knelt on the ground. , the female ninja from the Kingdom of Yu said with difficulty.

"Hahahahahahahaha."

"what are you laughing at?"

"Because every Ninja War has been led by our five major Ninja Villages from the Five Great Countries, but the results are always talked about by you small Ninja Villages. Every time I hear you ask this, I find it particularly funny. , hahahahaha..."

"Don't worry, Konoha will at most protest strongly if we kill a few of you Tang Ninjas. They won't start a fourth Ninja War just for the sake of a few Ninjas from a vassal country. On the contrary, we might do that. ." Slowly walked up to the female ninja of Tang Ninja Village, and what was revealed was the face of a middle-aged man wearing a cloud-thunder pattern forehead protector and a thick beard.

He had triangular eyes, and he was slowly walking in front of the Yu Ninja in a playful manner, almost like a cat playing with a mouse.

The moment she saw the man Qing, the female ninja took a breath because she had already recognized the man's identity.

(The leader of the Kumo Ninjutsu coach, Cang Lei Gyatso!? Even he has appeared.) The leader of the Kumo Ninjutsu coach is only second to Kage in status in the Kumo Ninja Village. People like this, in some From the perspective of a small country, it is even more terrifying than the big names of the five major countries.

At this moment, several shadows quickly leapt behind Cang Lei Gyatso.

"Report to the Ninja Head that the siege of Yu Ninja Village has been completed. It will be difficult for Konoha to notice any abnormalities for at least half a month."

"Reporting to the head of the ninja, the information blockade of Tang Ninja Village has been completed. The subordinates guarantee with their lives that no information can be passed out."

"Report to the ninja..."

"Yes." After receiving a satisfactory reply from his subordinates, Canlei Gyatso nodded slowly with his hands behind his back, and then he said to the female ninja in front of him kindly and gently: "You also heard that we have completed the preliminary arrangements. , now it’s time to send you on your way.”

"Stab!"

Accompanied by the sound of electric current pulsing, Cang Lei Gyatso waved forward with one hand, and the scarlet blood exploded in an instant.

As a small country, the Kingdom of Tang exists at the junction of the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Thunder, which is a tragedy.As a Ninja Village, Yu Ninja Village exists between Konoha and Kumo Ninja, which is even more sad.

They cannot merge into one of them, because both forces also need them to exist as a strategic buffer zone.

………………

Although Konoha is a military organization, it is not a closed military fortress. On the contrary, Konoha, as the first of the five major ninja villages in the mainland, is famous for its unique geographical advantages and rich products in the Central Kingdom. Its tertiary industry is very Developed, it is an open city with extremely rich tourism benefits.

However, Konoha ninjas are famous all over the world for their powerful combat power, and the name of Konoha police force Uchiha makes most ninjas in the world fearful.

Therefore, there is no problem when traveling to Konoha, but you must abide by the relevant regulations of Konoha. This is just for civilians. All ninjas who have refined chakra need to obtain a pass document to enter Konoha. All visitors to Konoha must go to the gate to register. Those who undergo detection and investigation but trespass from other directions, break in privately, or conceal their identity will be arrested directly once discovered. Anyone who dares to resist, Konoha has the power to kill them on the spot.

Since the establishment of Konoha in the first generation, Konoha has almost never been attacked by enemies. If there is an accident, it is the Nine-Tails Rebellion that occurred a few years ago.

In addition, Konoha's internal defense work can be said to be impeccable!

"Neji, I always feel that there have been more ninjas guarding Konoha during this period?"

"Yes, there are more guards on the city wall."

One morning, Hyuga Neji, Uzumaki Naruto and Hinata were walking on the street. Neji was carrying a food basket and Naruto had his hands behind his head. The three of them passed by the city wall outside Konoha.

"Maybe there are some large-scale missions in the near future. Many of the uncles and uncles we usually see in the clan are missing. Let's discuss this matter privately. Don't talk nonsense outside, otherwise you will be troubled by the police force. .”

"of course."

"I understand, Brother Neji."

Walking to the edge of the forest, Hinata Neji took a step faster, picked up the food basket, and jumped up the tree, jumping between the branches.

Ninjas, as long as they refine chakra, will have the extraordinary ability to fly over walls and walls like this, even if they are just a few years old.

Naruto and Hinata followed. After adjusting the chakra in their bodies for a while, they also jumped up.

(Recently, when I was practicing, the feeling of being spied on that I usually felt disappeared. During this time, the Hokage came to my place for dinner and told me not to leave the village easily. This is to mobilize all the ninjas around me. Have you left? What happened? If it were in another world, I can’t imagine doing this: the nuclear arsenal is unguarded!)

After thinking for a while, Naruto put aside this problem. In the original work, Naruto should not have been monitored all the time. Maybe it was because the third generation had absolute confidence in the internal defense work of Konoha Village.

With the blessing of chakra, you can run and jump at high speeds in the dense forest with the power of your physical body. When the strong wind blows against your cheeks, you will feel a very pleasant feeling.

Perhaps out of consideration for training Naruto and Hinata's physical strength, Neji in front ran far away, and he didn't stop until Hinata was out of breath from exhaustion.

"Hinata, your physical training is far from enough. Naruto is an orphan. The time he can focus on training every day must not be as long as yours, but his physical fitness is much better than yours. As the eldest lady of the Hyuga family, he has You have superior cultivation conditions, but this is no reason for you to slack off."

"Well, please train me more strictly, brother Neji." Little Hinata bowed deeply to Hinata Neji. She has a gentle and peaceful temperament. Even though she has been much more cheerful during this period, she still doesn't have the temper of a young lady at all.

"Okay, Hinata, go ahead and practice five hundred palm strikes. Naruto, do you still have enough physical strength? Come and fight with me first, and let me see if you have improved."

"Okay." Upon hearing this, Naruto took off his coat, threw it under the roots of a tree, and went to meet him.

During this time, Naruto was learning taijutsu and boxing from Neji. Neji did not dare to systematically teach Naruto the Hyuga family's soft fist taijutsu, but there was no problem in teaching the ninja school's Konoha taijutsu. The basics of Konoha Physical skills are refined over time, and there is nothing better than laying a solid foundation for physical skills.

Although Naruto has the willpower of an adult, can endure pain, and dares to fight, but during this period of fighting with Hyuga Neji, he still lost more than he won. The close combat ability of Hinata's soft fist was too much. It's scary. Hyuga Neji is also terrifyingly good.

"I'm coming."

After saying hello, the next moment, with a rush of chakra under his feet, Naruto's figure quickly rushed towards Hinata Neji.

(The Hyuga family's soft fist is known as the strongest taijutsu in Konoha! Even the Uchiha family can't compete with it in this aspect. Before Kai's Eight Gate Dungeon was fully developed, Hyuga and Rizoku were Konoha's taijutsu. The strongest, even Naruto may not be his opponent in the field of pure physical skills. Originally, Konoha White Fang, as a master of swordsmanship, could suppress Hinata and Hinata, but White Fang had a caesarean section... In this way, in the field of close combat, In the field, no one in the entire Konoha can compete with the Hyuga family for the time being, and Hyuga Neji's talent is far above that of Hinata and Hinata.)

In the process of charging head-on, thoughts that had already been thought through flashed through his mind. The moment before the two sides were about to come into contact, Naruto suddenly put his hands into his pockets, and then raised his hands to throw out two puffs of sand.

But Hyuga Neji was already on guard when Naruto put his hands into his pockets. He covered his eyes with his hands and pulled away at the same time.

call.

Snapped!

Under the cover of the sand, Naruto followed up with a full-force punch, which was blocked by Hinata Neji's sideways push.

(Want to blind me with sand and dust? Very good awareness, but unfortunately, it is far from enough!)

Naruto, who punched with all his strength, was pushed away by Hinata Neji. He couldn't regain his momentum, so he simply turned around and rolled in the air, and then landed firmly on his feet.

At this moment, he saw that Neji had already attacked with a punch.

Neji hasn't really developed the inner strength of the Hyuga family's Soft Fist, so he can only use his fists, but using his fists to perform the Soft Fist Baguazhang routine is also very scary!

Most people have little fighting experience, and people in peaceful times have no idea. When they read literary works or movies, they think they can think about it during a fight. In fact, as an ordinary person, unless your mental power is particularly strong, your reaction speed is different from ordinary people, or You have abilities such as "bullet time", otherwise in actual combat, in most cases, you won't have time to think, and all you have to do is react instinctively.

Martial arts practitioners or athletes form a stable muscle memory through exercise after exercise. As soon as the thought of "fighting" comes to their mind, their hands will already move. This speed is faster than what the mind thinks and then falls on the hands. Get a lot faster.

The scary thing about Hyuga Neji is that he started watching at the age of two, and started practicing Rouquan when he was three years old. He practiced the various basic classic routines of Hyuga's Rouquan Baguazhang into a stable muscle memory, and he had it in his mind during actual combat. With an idea, the corresponding fighting styles and martial arts skills naturally come to mind.

Only after such people have experienced many actual battles, their brains will have enough energy to think, think, and make breakthroughs during the battle.

At this moment, it can be said that Naruto is not fighting with Hinata Neci alone, he is fighting with the Soft Fist Baguazhang that has been accumulated by countless people in the Hinata family and has been refined almost thousands of times.

(I can't lose the initiative. Once he fully deploys it, I have no chance of winning at all.) Instinct had to sideways to avoid Hinata Neji's punch. The next moment, Naruto tried his best to be hit several times by Hinata Neji. He was also crazy enough to attack with his fists.

That kind of clenched teeth, no matter how crazy and ferocious, with a posture of beating the old master to death with random punches, if an ordinary person is really frightened, but Hyuga Neji's mood is calm, he even closed his eyes and stepped back, in order to Both hands and arms alternately attack and block. Although he is retreating, the meaning of pre-attack has been faintly revealed.

The four arms hit each other loudly, but Naruto's heavy punches could never penetrate the empty door defended by Hyuga Neji. After all his efforts, there was a moment when he finally exhausted all his energy. When Naruto finally began to lose his strength, At that moment, Hyuga Neji suddenly opened his eyes.

A large number of meridians suddenly swelled around his eyes, revealing a terrifying aura!

The Hyuga family's Byakugan is different from Uchiha's blood-succession limited sharingan, which is famous in the ninja world. All members of the Hyuga family can open their eyes, but the upper limit of its power does not seem to be as powerful as the sharingan, and its functionality is not as comprehensive.

But it is still very practical. Even considering the strategic level of the Ninja Village, the Byakugan means more to a village than the Sharingan does to a village: the inheritance is stable, easy to operate, and will not affect the owner's strength. Excessive increase.

Ordinary people and even ordinary ninjas may not understand that the top brass of the ninja world have probably not forgotten how terrifying the blood-red eyes of the "Shura of the Ninja World" back then were!

Once the Byakugan is opened, insight, dynamic vision, and chakra control are enhanced, and these improvements continue to increase as the eye power/strength of the Byakugan owner increases.

With his Byakugan, Hyuga Neji instantly understood Naruto's movements and the flow of chakra in his body. He stepped forward and struck hard with both palms raised. This swift and sharp blow directly knocked Naruto backwards in front of him. .

If he used his fists to kill with all his strength, he could break several of Naruto's ribs with this move.

(I still need to make up a few points, this guy's physique is amazing!) Thinking like this, Hinata Neji leaned over and rushed towards Naruto.

Naruto was knocked upside down by Neji's heavy blow and then fell to the ground. Even with chakra protecting his body, he still felt like he was rolling and wanting to spit out his breakfast.

However, he suppressed this rolling feeling because he knew that Neji would definitely pursue the victory.

Yin: Stand upright and cross your hands, with the index and middle fingers erect, and the thumbs of both hands should be straight.

Mao: Both hands are wrong. In addition to straightening the little finger of the right hand, the other four fingers make a fist lightly.

Shen: The two palms overlap up and down, and the little finger and thumb are parallel.

Hai: The five fingers of both hands are curled up and tied upside down.

Noon: Extend your elbows, overlap your fingers, and form a triangle with your index fingers facing each other.

Si: forward and solid, five fingers interlocked.

Yin-mao-shen-hai-wu-si: Wild leaf knife dance!

Facing Hyuga Neji who rushed towards him quickly, Naruto gritted his teeth and quickly formed seals with his hands. Under the huge pressure brought by his opponent, his seals were faster and more precise than usual. When he felt the palm of his left hand appear, The moment he wrote the seal rune, he slapped the big tree beside him with his palm.

(Tiger seal? Ninjutsu?) Faced with the unknown attack ninjutsu performed by Naruto, Hyuga Neji's response was to continue attacking without hesitation.

If you are a little timid at this time, it may make it possible for the opponent to complete the technique that was originally unable to be completed in time.

There is no way to retreat, and there is no way out!

call!

At this moment, a gust of wind blew in the forest. When the wind happened to blow here, it disappeared.

Of course, it didn't disappear for no reason, but it was swallowed and absorbed by the tree that Naruto hit with one palm. From Byakugan's perspective, centered on the place where Naruto hit the palm, a piece of emerald green energy quickly spread out. The flow circuit, and the next moment, with the help of Naruto's own chakra and the power of the natural wind, a whirlpool-like impeller blew off the big tree and swept towards Hinata Neji.

Seeing this scene, the hairs on Hyuga Neji's whole body stood up, and he instinctively felt the danger.

He roared and forgot everything, and struck with all his strength, but those flying wild leaves were like small knives, tearing open his robe, tearing his skin and flesh, and scarlet blood suddenly flowed out. .

"Ah ah ah ah..."

Just when Hyuga Neji was about to go crazy with fear, he suddenly felt the pressure around him reduce. Then, a dark shadow appeared in front of his eyes. He suddenly fell on him, hugged his waist, and rushed out of the place. Among the wildly dancing leaves.

"Whirring whirring……"

"Whirring whirring……"

The technique behind him finally stopped.

Naruto, who was covered in cuts all over his body, knelt on the ground and gasped for air. Next to him, Hinata Neji's condition was not much better. It was just that the wounds on his body were much less than those on Naruto, but he was the first in his life. I felt the smell of "death" for the first time, so I was completely exhausted at this moment and couldn't move at all.

"……thanks."

"What are you thanking? Isn't it my fault that it ended up like this? I didn't expect that ninjutsu would suddenly succeed this time, and it would be so powerful."

"Naruto-kun, Brother Neji, are you okay?" Little Hinata, who had just been practicing boxing aside, heard the noise and ran over. Looking at the scarred Naruto and Neji, her big eyes were filled with tears. , but she was not just a little girl who could only cry. While crying, Hinata quickly took out the ointment from her bag and applied it to Naruto and Hinata Neji.

"Let's wipe it on Neji first." Naruto knew that he had the power of the Nine Tails in his body. No matter what kind of injury he suffered, as long as it was not the kind that broke his muscles and bones, it would be almost healed after a sleep. If it weren't for himself, Neji wouldn't have suffered such a disaster.

Of course, if he hadn't rushed in in time to share the power of Kuangye Daowu, one of the twelve strongest men in Konoha would have been killed here today, and even if he hadn't died, he would have been seriously injured.

"No, you lie down, Naruto-kun is more seriously injured." Little Hinata pushed Naruto down angrily, leaned against the tree trunk, and then applied ointment to him.

"Forget it, I'll do it myself. Little Hinata is looking after your Naruto-kun, and your brother is bleeding to death, and you don't care, hahahaha." Although Hinata Neji was frightened just now, at this moment But he didn't care about what happened just now. Instead, he made fun of Hinata and applied healing ointment to himself.

"No way. Ningci's stinky brother, he was wronged." Little Hinata felt aggrieved. Little Hinata was so angry that her face turned red with anger, and then she hit Neci with her small fist.

Hinata Neji let out a strange cry as a result, making Naruto laugh and making Hinata even angrier.
