Naruto, be my son

Neji felt that if he were himself a year ago, he would be seriously injured and fall to the ground even if he did not die in the hands of the opponent in such a sudden sneak attack.

But now he is completely different from before. Neji feels that he is making rapid progress every day.

Although he is not as good as those who are Jinchuuriki like Naruto and Sasuke, Neji's progress speed is not much slower. His strength can be called T1 level among his peers.

The peers in T0 are naturally Naruto and Sasuke.

At this critical moment, Neji's feet burst out with unprecedented strength, and he actually forcibly opened the restraints of the sand.

At the same time, one sand bomb after another had condensed above him.

When the sand bomb is about to fall...

Neji quickly dodged back.

Puff puff puff puff——

Densely packed sand bombs fell down like raindrops, making dents one after another in the soft sand under their feet.

A few drops of cold sweat broke out on Neji's forehead: This guy can form seals so fast and is very powerful! And when he took action just now, the strange chakra was very weird.

But he quickly revealed a smile: Okay, a strange enemy appears, just so I can feel the level of my progress in recent days.

Looking at Ningji in front of him, Gaara also showed a hint of surprise in his eyes: Avoid...

Suddenly, before Gaara could react further, Neji took the initiative to attack.

Neci put on a Soft Fist stance and stared at Gaara with his white eyes: Soft Fist·Sixteen Palms of the Eight Trigrams!!!

Since the opponent's first attack was a killing move, Neji wouldn't be polite.

The surprise in Gaara's eyes dissipated, and he said expressionlessly: It's useless. Since I dare to come here alone to kill all of you pirates, I will naturally crush your power in the end.

A piece of yellow sand suddenly emerged from the big gourd Gaara was carrying, and the large piece of yellow sand turned into a huge shield, blocking Gaara's front.

Neji's Soft Fist·Sixteen Palms of Bagua all fell on the sand without touching a single hair on Gaara.

Is this? Muyin Ninjutsu?

Neji frowned: No, the chakra in his body didn't flow just now, which means it was not a ninjutsu he used. What happened to the sand in this gourd?

The next second, Gaara's fingertips moved slightly.

A large amount of fine sand in the desert rose high like waves, overwhelming Ningji.

Fortunately, Neji has a pair of Byakugan. Neji can capture the moment the opponent takes action through the flow of chakra in the opponent's body.

He quickly bypassed the sand waves to the right, decisively took out two kunai from the ninja tool, and threw them at Gaara.

Whizzing--

Two kunai flew out of the air.

But it was all blocked by the sand in the gourd.

Suddenly, Neji threw a kunai again. This kunai bypassed the sand at a very tricky angle and went straight to Gaara's throat.

Obviously, the first two terrifying attacks were just feints.

The purpose is to lure away the weird sand in the gourd.

You succeeded, you lose... Before Neci could finish his sentence, he watched helplessly as the kunai hit Gaara's throat, and found that the kunai only penetrated less than half a centimeter.

The key is that there is no blood flowing out, but densely packed fine sand falling down.

Neji was stunned for a moment and quickly took a closer look with his Byakugan.

He discovered the clue: This is... armor made of a layer of sand? The sand is too close to the body, so I didn't notice it the first time?

Gaara glanced at the kunai stuck in his neck.

He pulled it out lightly, inserted his index finger into the ring of the kunai, and gently rotated the kunai.

The guy with two white eyes, you are the most powerful person of your age I have ever seen. I decided to remember your name. My name is Gaara. What is your name?

Gaara's voice was calm as he spoke.

The previous two bottles of water had almost restored his condition.

Hyuuga Neji.

Neji was also calm.

He did not deny that Gaara in front of him was a formidable enemy, but he was not afraid of Gaara.

Oh, Hyuga Neji... Gaara nodded and said: I remember your name. You are one of the top geniuses in the Whitebeard Pirates, right? Those adults on the ship are not necessarily Your opponent?

After hearing this, Neji looked a little weird.

Does this guy named Gaara have any misunderstandings about the Whitebeard Pirates?

Although Neji's talent is indeed very high, he knows that there are people on the ship who are more talented than him, and there are many people with my talent that can match his.

Not to mention those adults on board!

Especially the official adult crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates on the ship, each of them has the ability to single-handedly challenge a ninja village!

What's going on down there? Neji! Suddenly, Naruto yelled from the ship: Why are you fighting? Do you need my help?!

Sasuke interrupted Naruto: Idiot Naruto, don't interfere in other people's battles!

Gaara looked up.

He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he actually felt a strange sense of threat from those two people.

You know, even Hyuga Neji, who he thought was quite powerful, didn't make him feel threatened.

The expression on Gaara's face finally changed a bit.

At this moment, Neci took advantage of Gaara's distraction and decisively approached Gaara.

Soft Fist·Sixteen Palms of Bagua!

The sneak attack from Neji made Gaara a little unable to react.

His body was beaten back and forth, his feet kept making dents in the sand, and the layer of sand defense on his body was also riddled with holes!

When Gaara's body fell into a brief stiffness, Neji quickly kicked into the sky and accurately hit Gaara's chin.

While kicking Gaara away, he jumped up and slashed hard, hitting Gaara's forehead on the spot.

Lanjiao!!!

This is a six-style arashi kick that cannot produce a vacuum slash.

Because, Neji is not very skilled in mastering this six moves.

But it also possesses extraordinary power.

call out--

boom! ! !

Gaara's small body hit the sand below heavily, causing a cloud of dust to rise around him.

Neji fell to the ground and said expressionlessly: Don't call me despicable. This is called repaying the other person with his own way.

A small hand emerged from the sand, and Gaara climbed up from the sand.

He looked a little embarrassed, the clothes on his body were damaged in many places, and a layer of sand armor on the surface of his skin was also broken by less than half.

Especially Gaara's head. There was a very hideous gaping hole on his forehead, and blood slowly flowed out from the gaping hole.

Scarlet blood flowed down his face to the corners of his mouth.

He stuck out his tongue and licked it lightly.

It hurts... Gaara wiped the blood on his forehead. If the sand armor hadn't offset more than half of the force, half of his head might have been dented.

Gaara's eyes were filled with dense bloodshot eyes, and the ultimate ferocious killing intent was released from his small body.

He stared at Ningji in front of him and grinned ferociously: I will tear you to pieces! Tear you to pieces with my own hands!!!

…

Aboard Moby Dick.

Kakashi, who was watching the show, raised his eyebrows slightly: Hey, hey, how can such a young child have such a strong killing intention? How many people has he killed? And... how is his mood? Something seems wrong? Did you break the defense after being injured?

Kisame smiled ferociously: That's interesting, Kakashi. Did you just say that he has a tailed beast inside him?

Kakashi nodded: Well, it was the Ushiki who told me. The Ushiki said that this child's body is none other than the One-Tailed Shukaku.

Kisame clicked his tongue and said, I've been trying to find a way out of my shoes, but the Jinchūriki of Sunagakure Village actually came to my door. Looking at this brat's attitude, does he want to challenge us all with the power of the tailed beast?

It's a very good idea, but it's a pity that it's a bit blind to the sky. Kisame made a sharp comment on Gaara.

The power of tailed beasts is indeed beyond the standard in the ninja world.

Even if it's just such a small brat, as long as he can master the power of the tailed beast, even an elite jounin may not be a match for such a brat.

After all, once the tailed beast is released, it's no joke.

pity……

This kind of power seems a bit childish when placed in front of the Whitebeard Pirates.

The Jinchuuriki of the One-Tailed Shukaku, the youngest son of Kazekage Rasa, Gaara.

Konan murmured to himself.

She knew Gaara's information very well, because she had personally collected information about the Jinchuriki of Sunagakure Village.

Collecting information on the Jinchuuriki is naturally for the future plans of the Akatsuki organization.

Who would have thought that the Whitebeard Pirates would be the first to get there again.

Quite an interesting guy. Sasuke squinted his eyes and curved his lips: The momentum seems pretty good, but I don't know if the power he currently has can sustain his momentum.

Naruto suddenly said: He is going to borrow the power of the tailed beast!

…

Down below, Neji noticed something was wrong with Gaara.

Because the strange chakra in the opponent's body is surging crazily.

Under Neji's wide-eyed gaze, Gaara's limbs began to change.

Gaara's arms began to turn into a very ferocious beast claw form, and the amount of chakra on his body increased tenfold in the blink of an eye.

A circle of chakra energy visible to the naked eye spreads out from the body.

The blow made Neji's hair dance slightly.

It was also at this moment that Neji finally understood why this guy had a strange chakra in his body.

This is actually the tailed beast's chakra!

This guy named Gaara is a jinchuriki!

When this thought flashed through Neji's mind, Gaara moved instantly. His burst of speed made it difficult for Byakugan to keep up.

In the blink of an eye, Gaara raised Shukaku's Claw, clenched it into a fist, and hit Neji hard on the body.

Neji only had time to cross his hands in front of him to resist.

It was clear that he was unstoppable.

Under the huge power of Gaara's half-tailed beast transformation, Neji was directly knocked out, and his body hit the Mobytik hard.

puff!

He couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood: Ahem...he is actually a Jinchuuriki! Yes, I should have thought of that kind of chakra.

In the final analysis, Neji still lacks some combat experience.

Although he often competes with Shiro, Kimimaro, Koso, Hinata, Naruto... and others on the ship.

But family is family after all.

During the sparring session, although I knew I needed to use all my strength, when I really wanted to do it, I definitely couldn't do it.

What Neji lacked was the experience of actually fighting an enemy.

One of the few experiences he had was when the pirate group was attacking other ninja villages. He went down and picked a few opponents to fight.

Neji was not satisfied with his performance today, but he also knew that...even if he tried hard, he would not be able to defeat the half-tailed beast Gaara.

Next, it will not be his battle.

as expected.

When Neji was knocked away, two people jumped from the boat.

They are Naruto and Sasuke respectively.

Naruto and Sasuke blocked Gaara on the left and right to prevent Gaara from taking the opportunity to pursue Neji.

Sasuke put his hands in his pockets, raised his chin and said, Matama just told me that you are the jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Shukaku.

Naruto glanced at Neji first.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that Ningji was fine for the time being.

Then he looked at Gaara with a frown.

Naruto said: Hey! Are you going a little too far? Neji was so kind and brought water to save you, but in the end you wanted to kill him. How could you repay a favor like this?

It's a pity that the power of the tailed beast appears in Gaara's body, which has made Gaara's current sanity completely gone.

Hoho, if the pirate wants to kill me, then I will kill the pirate first!!! Gaara roared like a beast, and he couldn't control the half-tailed beast transformation at all.

The whole person's fighting posture is like a demented beast.

He quickly ran towards Naruto and Sasuke.

Hey... Idiot Naruto, wake this guy up.

Sasuke took his hands out of his pockets.

Naruto gently wiped his nose with his thumb: Yeah!

Die!!! Gaara waved two huge Shukaku claws, trying to crush Naruto and Sasuke at the same time.

The sharp claws touched the bodies of Naruto and Sasuke, but surprisingly, they were actually two afterimages.

Sasuke suddenly appeared behind Gaara and put his feet on Gaara's shoulders.

You don't have much sanity left. You were greatly affected by the tailed beasts. Didn't you, a jinchuriki, establish a bond with the tailed beasts?

After Sasuke made a sharp comment with an expressionless face, a layer of tailed beast chakra enveloped his body.

Sasuke stepped down hard.

He also borrowed the power of the tailed beast.

There was only a bang sound, and the sole of the shoe came into close contact with the back of Gaara's head.

Gaara was trampled down on the spot.

Sasuke, give in quickly! The voice from Naruto startled Sasuke.

Sasuke looked up hurriedly and saw Naruto appearing in the sky holding a Rasengan.

Why does this idiot like to mess around so much? Sasuke quickly dodged.

I saw Naruto holding a very large Rasengan with a diameter of several dozen centimeters falling from the sky, trying to hit Gaara's lower back.

At the same time, the sand in the gourd was rolling violently.

I want to block this blow.

boom! ! !
