The weirdness comes to Konoha

a week later.

During this week, Sasuke spent almost every day perfecting the ultimate secret of Thunder Release, Kirin.

It took a week, but now he finally completed the development of this ninjutsu.

It's time to challenge Hinata Neji.

In the evening, Sasuke lay on the muddy ground, looking at the stars in the sky, and thought to himself.

When the sun completely sets, the moon rises.

An Uchiha clan member came to Hinata's clan territory.

When the Uchiha tribe left, a Hyuga tribe member found Hinata Hizashi.

"Clan leader, an Uchiha clan member just gave this to me and asked me to pass it on to Master Neji."

Hinata Hizashi took it out and looked at it. It was a piece of paper, which said that he invited Hyuga Neji to compete with Hou Tian outside the village.

He called Hinata Neji and showed him the paper.

"What do you think about this?"

Neji didn't answer immediately, he folded the paper in half and put it away.

"I accept this challenge."

Hinata Neji's tone was extremely firm.

"Very good. You go and prepare, adjust your body to the best condition, and then go and face the challenge."

"It's the patriarch."

Hinata Hizu didn't say anything about not embarrassing the Hyuga clan.

Whether it was him or Uchiha Fugaku, they both knew that this duel was just a fight between juniors.

There is no need to rise to the level of a family.

What's more, for their family now, winning or losing is not important.

No matter whether he wins or loses, he cannot shake the status of Hinata (Uchiha clan).

Tonight, Hyuga Neji was not the only one to receive the challenge.

Naruto, who was eating instant noodles at home, also received a challenge from Sasuke.

Having been with Naruto for several years, Sasuke knew Naruto's strength better than anyone else.

Because of this, he was particularly looking forward to fighting Naruto.

It would be boring to fight with Neji alone, but it would be interesting to call Naruto out for a three-way brawl.

............

"Why did things turn out like this!?"

Sasuke stood on the wall of a Western arena, looking around at the ninjas who arrived as long as there were no missions, and the civilians who had nothing to do.

Powerless to support the forehead.

Time to go back to yesterday.

Yesterday Hinata Hinata came to Uchiha's clan and found him.

Then he said: "I know what happened between you. I don't object to your duel, but the location must be changed."

Then, the duel location was changed to this place.

He knew this place, it was this place where the last test was held when he was promoted from genin to chunin.

The genin show their strength here, and then the Hokage decides whether you are qualified to become a chuunin.

But now, this place has become a duel venue for him, Naruto, and Neji.

The duel venue that Sasuke had previously decided was outside the village.

Because his ultimate move, Thunder Release Qilin, is so powerful that if it is in a village, it will easily cause damage to the buildings in the village.

It's okay if the building is damaged, as long as you pay compensation, but if innocent people are accidentally injured...

The power of Lei Dun Qilin is so terrifying that ordinary people will die without even a chance to be rescued.

Is this a ninjutsu that can be performed in a village?

Therefore, he chose the duel location outside the village.

"Don't worry, I know what you are worried about. Aren't you worried about accidentally injuring the villagers watching? Hinata has already made arrangements for this, and you will know when the time comes."

"If you say so, teacher..."

Jiraiya's words reassured Sasuke a lot.

In fact, what Jiraiya said about Hinata's preparation made him feel relieved.

If she made the arrangements, then Qilin should be able to use it.

Kirin is a decisive ninjutsu that he finally developed. If he can't use it for various reasons, he will be depressed to death.

"Sasuke!"

Before even meeting the person, Sasuke knew who the owner of the voice was.

"Naruto, long time no see."

Recently, he has been developing Lei Dun Qilin. Except for going home to rest, he spends the rest of the time outside the village.

"Yeah, long time no see." Naruto looked left and right and found that there seemed to be a lot of people around. "Sasuke, didn't you say it was outside the village? Why did Hinata notify me the next day that the place had been changed? Speaking of which, there are a lot of people."

"About this, you'd better ask Neji."

By this time, Neji had also arrived.

"I don't know about this either."

Neji heard Naruto and Sasuke's conversation.

"about this......"

Jiraiya on the side spoke.

"As you know, the atmosphere in Konoha has been a bit depressing recently."

Naruto and the others naturally knew that since the chaos in Kirigakure Village, the atmosphere in Konoha had become tense, and it has been until now.

"It's been a few months. If this continues, the ninjas of Konoha may develop mental illness."

Even for ninjas with excellent qualities, problems will inevitably arise if they stay in such an atmosphere for several months.

"So, after Hinata learned about your duel, she thought of having all the ninjas in Konoha come to watch."

In addition to watching Naruto's duel to relieve boredom, there is also a factor that shows the strength of Konoha's younger generation.

After the ninjas in Konoha know how outstanding the younger generation of ninjas in Konoha are, they will feel at ease.

The outstanding young generation represents Konoha's bright future.

"That's a good thing no matter how you think about it."

Jiraiya nodded and finished explaining.

"Um...I still don't understand." Naruto scratched his head. He still couldn't connect what Jiraiya said.

Sasuke: "..."

Neji: "..."

Sasuke and Neji looked at each other. Unlike Naruto who was heartless, they understood Hinata's intention in arranging the duel venue here.

This put a slight pressure on their hearts.

"You two, don't think blindly." Jiraiya patted Sasuke and Neji's shoulders with two hands, one on the left and the other on the right. "The protagonists of this duel are the three of you. You are very proud to be able to show your strength in front of all of Konoha."

"Just give it your best and let us see your power!"

"I understand. In other words, just give it your all during the duel."

There was no trace of stress on Naruto's smile, and Sasuke, who was close enough, could see that Naruto's teeth were very white.

Fortunately, Naruto's teeth didn't flash, otherwise he would have thought of the two strange masters and disciples in Konoha.

However, Naruto's energetic voice swept away all the tension in Sasuke and Neji.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and I have to say that Naruto's infectious energy was really powerful.

Neji: "Sasuke, I won't lose this time!"

Sasuke: "Huh, me too."

Naruto: "And I won't lose either."

Naruto's face was serious.
