Naruto Arrows

Looking at the three arrows that were still trembling with their tail feathers in front of him and surrounding him in a semi-arc shape, Hinata Kosuke, who was walking at the front of the team, swallowed subconsciously.

When the arrow fell, for a moment, he felt as if his heart had stopped beating due to nervousness.

It was as if the scythe of death had sliced ​​through his neck less than an inch away.

"call!"

Naruto, who saw this scene from a distance, finally let out the turbid air he had been holding in his chest and relaxed.

Having seen Neci's shooting skills, he naturally knew that at this distance, if Neji's arrows were really aimed at people, they would definitely not be able to dodge them based on the guys in front of him.

But unfortunately, except for him and Hyuga Kosuke, who really felt the terror, in the eyes of other children, this was completely evidence that Neji was not good at shooting.

So they, who were also startled by the flying arrows, immediately burst into laughter.

"It's really ridiculous. I heard that he wanted to sever ties with the Hyuga clan just to learn how to use this bow. But now, he can't even hit such a close target."

"I'm sorry, Kousuke. It seems that we thought too much before. For a clown like him, even if we fight him alone, he is no match for us."

The companion standing behind Hinata Kosuke patted him on the shoulder and apologized loudly to him.

After hearing these words, he could only barely show a smile to cover up the fear in his heart, and at the same time comfort himself in his heart:

It was all an illusion just now, I was just frightened by those three arrows.

Seeing these guys who had no idea that he had escaped death and still dared to continue to mock and stimulate Neji, Naruto's heart suddenly lifted again after he had just put it down.

Worried that Neji would really target these guys in his anger, he immediately turned around with a worried look on his face.

However, what he didn't expect was that Neji gently shook his head and put down the bow in his hand, still muttering dissatisfiedly.

"You can't even scare a child. It seems that this killing arrow is really not that easy to train."

. . .

In the dense woods not far away, two ANBU ninjas wearing animal masks also breathed a sigh of relief.

When they saw the group of children from the Hyuga clan, although they felt strange, they didn't think too much about it, so they were naturally unprepared.

But he never expected that the seemingly gentle Hyuga Neji would quickly open his bow and nock an arrow, and shoot three arrows at the group of children of the Hyuga clan, causing their hearts to rise to their throats in an instant.

Obviously, they had never been responsible for monitoring Neji before, otherwise, they would never use the word "gentle" to describe Neji.

"This speed is already faster than the shurikens of ordinary genin."

After discovering that it was just a false alarm, the two people retreated into the woods and continued to monitor. They also had time to chat about the three arrows that Hinata Neji had just shot.

The two men who had just changed their shift today to monitor the jinchūriki, because Neji had been teaching Naruto how to read in the morning, had not seen Neji perform archery skills until now.

If it were the ANBU ninjas from yesterday, they would certainly not be so surprised.

"Moreover, this distance is far beyond the range of ninjutsu and shuriken."

"However, like shurikens, this kind of thing is very good when used against genin, but it is useless when used against chunin who can use powerful ninjutsu."

The two diverged their thoughts and even discussed the advantages and disadvantages of bows and arrows.

"If he can use the time wasted on this weapon to learn the soft fist of the Hyuga clan, he may not be able to reach the height of Lord Hizashi in the future."

Of course, based on the thinking of the two ninjas and the archery skills currently displayed by Neji, the two people have similar ideas to the ninjas of the Hyuga clan. They both feel that this is a wrong path and will only waste Neji's talent.

. . .

While the two ANBU ninjas were chatting, the children of the Hyuga clan, who didn't know that they had actually wandered around the gates of hell, finally came to the solemn-looking Naruto and the expressionless Neji.

"Hinata Neji!"

Hyuga Kosuke, who finally recovered from the shock just now, stood up as the leader, pointing at Neji with an indignant look on his face, and wanted to issue a declaration of battle to find a justifiable reason for their actions today.

"Let's just fight, why bother talking so much?"

However, before Hyuga Kosuke could say the words Hyuga Takuya taught him, Neji spoke first with an impatient look on his face, leaving him stunned on the spot.

You guy, you don’t play by the rules!

"Tell me, do you want to fight alone or together?"

As Neji spoke, he clapped his fingers and shook his neck. There was no trace of nervousness on his face, as if he was talking about what to eat for lunch today.

"You bastard."

And his look of completely looking down on the other party immediately aroused the other party's anger.

Even though there was still some shadow in his heart, Hinata Kosuke, who was just holding on, put the shadow in his heart to the back of his head in an instant, opened his eyes wide, and glared at him.

"Hmph, do you think we will abandon the pride and glory of the Hyuga clan like you?"

The irritated Hyuga Kosuke snorted, roared with disdain, and walked out first.

"I'll come first."

Neji looked at him, made a soft fist stance, then bent his fingers and said provocatively with disdain.

"You, come here!"

Even though he had learned a lot from his elders, Hyuga Kosuke had never experienced such ridicule, and he immediately rushed over with a shout.

However, to the disappointment of many children who fully expected Hyuga Kosuke to teach Neji a lesson, he seemed to be full of momentum and fell to the ground in less than three seconds just after he rushed in front of Neji.

Naruto, who was looking at his friend with a worried expression from behind, suddenly became worried when he saw Neji kicking Kosuke in the calf cleanly and then slashing a knife behind his neck. It turned into joy.

However, because his expression changed too quickly and suddenly, some parts of his expression failed to change smoothly into joy, so he looked quite funny.

"hiss!"

Hinata Kosuke, who fell to the ground and didn't know whether to cover his calf or neck, screamed in pain, lay on the ground with a look of grief and anger, pointed at Neji and yelled.

"I don't accept it, so you attack me secretly!"

"Okay, then you stand up and we compete again."

Neji, who looked at him condescendingly, was "obedient", nodded, and said to him.

"it is good!"

Hinata Kosuke quickly got up after rubbing his calves a few times.

However, just as he stood up, he felt an object flash before his eyes.

The next second, the calf that had just been kicked felt severe pain again, and then, when he couldn't help but bend over, he received another blow on the back of his neck.

And it was only then that he finally knew what the object that just flashed before his eyes was.

That was Neji's hand raised, ready to hit the back of his neck. . .
