After taking over the snake uncle's foundation, Sasuke came to surrender on his own initiative.

The second round of the Chunin Exam ended without much suspense.

An indoor stand in Konoha Village was already packed with daimyos, nobles, and ministers from various countries in the ninja world. Together with the spectating ninjas from various major ninja villages, the wide square competition venue below was already packed with people.

At this moment, on the central control display screen of the stands, the fonts began to change slowly and finally froze.

Moonlight Gale retracted his gaze, his expression darkened slightly, and then he looked towards the waiting area and shouted, "The next opponent is..."

[Hyuga Hinata VS Otoneiji]

Waiting area.

The atmosphere between the two teams suddenly froze.

Inuzuka Kiba, who still had blood on his lips, looked displeased and gritted his teeth secretly. "Damn...Hinata actually met that guy!"

Even on one side of the stands, among the leading jonin team, Hong's eyes showed worry, "Hinata is not doing well..."

Hinata, with her black student hair, looked like a good girl, but at this moment she was staring blankly at the tall figure standing opposite her, her eyes seemed a little absent-minded.

"He's also called Neji... He has the same name as my brother Neji who disappeared when I was four years old... "

The other side of the waiting area.

The number and team size of Sound Ninjas accounted for almost half of all the participants in the third exam.

Sakura, Karin and the others looked at each other, and then cast worried glances at Neji.

"How could it be such a coincidence?"

"It's normal to meet each other at this point in the game."

Kimimaro turned to look at Hinata, then glanced at the expressionless Neji, his eyes slightly sank, "The head of the Hyuga clan of this generation... Neji... should be fine, right?"

......

pat-

Ningci stepped onto the competition field and looked indifferently at the anxious girl in front of him. After a long while, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly, "You... are not suitable to be a ninja, so you should give up."

Hinata's expression was shocked, her eyes suddenly widened, and her heart felt inexplicably heavy as if a huge stone was pressing on it.

"He...he is so strong! Otherwise...I should give up this competition..."

She had already begun to think about giving up.

Just as he was about to call the referee, he turned around and heard the boy opposite him speak again in a cold voice. "Are you the head of the Hyuga family of this generation?"

Hinata nodded hesitantly, "Hmm..." Then, as if she had made up her mind, her expression suddenly became firm, "You, you also call..."

"You stutter when you speak, you are so inferior and cowardly, hehe..." Neji interrupted her directly, sneered, raised his chin slightly, and looked down at Hinata. "That's it, you are enough to be a Genin in this life. Born into the main family, you are destined to become the patriarch of the Hyuga clan... The so-called ninja level... What difference does it make to you?"

"No...no...it's not like that." Hinata looked flustered. She didn't know why, but she always cared about what the boy in front of her said.

It's just like......

Subconsciously hoping to get the other person's approval...

"That's not true!" She yelled at the top of her lungs, tears welling up on her chubby face. "I... I've also tried very hard to change myself... and not become the useless person my father calls me... who is even weaker than my sister Hanabi!"

Ningci's pupils shrank, and then quickly returned to their round black shape, with a sneer on his face, "How fragile... The main family nowadays is really getting worse with each generation!"

Hinata: ??﹏????

Naruto: ??へ??

"What the hell is he talking about! Damn bastard! This arrogant guy, didn't he see that Hinata was crying!?" Naruto clenched his fists and looked at Neji with an angry expression.

Only Kakashi beside Naruto's face changed slightly, and his eyes looked at Neji with slight hesitation, while he explained to Naruto.

"You don't know what the main and branch families of the Hyuga clan are, so it's normal that you don't understand. But... if I have to say something, what the Otoshi named Oto Neji said is actually not wrong. Hinata, the main family of the Hyuga clan, is indeed protected too well..."

Naruto was shocked and turned his head away in disbelief. "What are you talking about, Kakashi-sensei? How can you speak for an outsider?!"

Ignoring Naruto's shouting, Kakashi's eyes sank slightly, returning to his signature dead fish eyes, and thought to himself, "Strange... Why would he say that to Hinata... And..."

From the words of the boy named Ningci, Kakashi even heard a hint of hidden...

Jealousy and hatred!
