Naruto: If I ask you to be Naruto, you will become a yellow-haired person?

The atmosphere at the training ground froze.

Hinata Hyuga lowered her head timidly, like a criminal being judged.

Her baby-faced cheeks gradually lost their color, turning pale, and her tender hands tightly gripped the hem of her clothes.

She didn't know why, but Neji, who had been close to her since childhood, like a brother, had become distant overnight.

They were like strangers, and he even gradually became sarcastic, using cutting words whenever they met.

Even during their usual training battles in the clan, his moves were swift and forceful, no longer holding back.

Neji Hyuga, in his white robe and loose combat uniform, wore a cold expression, his words revealing undisguised contempt.

"Hinata-sama, you are not worthy of inheriting the responsibilities of the main house. Acknowledge your weakness as soon as possible!"

"The future of the main house and the Hyuga clan should be left to your sister Hanabi!"

Tears welled up in Hinata's pure white eyes, her eyes reddened, and her lips moved slightly, barely making a sound.

But Naruto, who was closest to her, heard some faint words, something about Hinata saying she would work hard.

Neji Hyuga shook his head dismissively at the sight.

Ino Yamanaka had already realized what was happening.

The older boy in the white training uniform in front of her had similar Byakugan eyes to Hinata, and their conversation seemed familiar.

In addition, there had always been rumors at the Ninja Academy about a super genius from the Hyuga branch family in the second year.

Ino stepped forward, glaring somewhat displeased at Neji Hyuga, who was about to turn and leave.

"You're going too far! You're Hinata's cousin, how can you discourage her like that?"

Neji Hyuga glanced sideways at Ino Yamanaka, flicked his wide sleeves, and said indifferently,

"And who are you? Hinata-sama's new friend?"

"You…" Ino Yamanaka was choked by the other party's cold and arrogant aura,

Especially his indifferent expression, coupled with his age and height advantage, standing in front of her like an iron tower, bringing a faint sense of oppression.

Ino felt a little uneasy, but she still mustered her courage and said indignantly,

"I'm Ino Yamanaka, Hinata's… friend…"

"If you really care about Hinata, shouldn't you be guiding her and helping her train to improve her strength?…"

"How can you…"

"Heh!" Neji Hyuga raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, then sneered and interrupted Ino Yamanaka's words,

"So you are also a Yamanaka heiress."

"People like you, who are born high above, will never understand that everything a person has is predetermined at birth!"

As he spoke, Neji Hyuga reached out as if enduring unspeakable pain, touching the forehead wrapped in layers of white cloth.

"This is the inevitable fate that no one can resist!"

His originally delicate face instantly became terrifying and hideous, and ugly meridians suddenly burst out around his pure white eyes.

A fierce and surging chakra vortex swept out from his body like a tide, and his white robe billowed without wind.

The light blue chakra waves stirred in the air, making a crackling sound.

This amount of chakra and momentum had far exceeded the level of Ninja Academy students.

Ino Yamanaka was startled by his sudden and abrupt change, her small face turned pale, and she took a few steps back in fear.

Hinata was also frightened by the unfamiliar and angry Neji Hyuga, her body trembling involuntarily,

Her small hands twisted together helplessly, and she murmured.

"N… Neji-niisan…"

"That's enough, Neji Hyuga."

Naruto frowned, stepped forward, and glanced at Neji Hyuga, who looked ferocious.

In the original Naruto story, there were hardly any completely evil villains. Even the Akatsuki with their red clouds and black robes were for world peace.

Neji Hyuga, who appeared as a "villain" in the early stages of the Twelve Ninja, was actually kind-hearted.

It was only after his father sacrificed himself for the main family and the long-term high-pressure oppression of the Hyuga main family that his thinking gradually became extreme.

Understanding that he was powerless to change the status quo and fate, he passively hated the main family, and Hinata suffered as a result…

Therefore, when Ino and Neji Hyuga first argued, he did not intervene.

But now, Neji Hyuga was clearly losing control of his emotions.

Neji Hyuga saw that the blonde boy, Hinata's classmate, who had been hiding aside and not speaking, dared to stand in front of him,

His face was gloomy, and his tone was unkind.

"Who are you?" He sneered again, scoffing,

"Never mind, a weakling's name is irrelevant."

"Still so chuuni, Neji Hyuga?"

Naruto looked at Neji Hyuga, his white robe, handsome face, and long hair fluttering, a clear look of disappointment on his face, and shook his head.

"Always talking about fate, strong, weak, and so on?"

"Do you know that only true weaklings will keep these meaningless words on their lips?"

Weakling? Am I a weakling?

Neji Hyuga's pure white eyes suddenly narrowed upon hearing this, and he clutched his stomach and laughed in anger on the spot.

As the Hyuga clan's unparalleled genius, even Hinata's father, the Hyuga clan's leader, praised his talent as being above his own!

Apart from Uchiha Itachi a few years ago, who in Konoha Village has been his opponent in the last decade?!

Not to mention the older students, even some of the Chunin teachers in the school, he was confident that he could fight them.

Sasuke Uchiha, who had been secretly paying attention to Naruto's movements, hesitating how to challenge him again without degrading the family's reputation, naturally noticed the situation over there.

Looking at Neji Hyuga, whose aura was gloomy and at odds with Naruto, and who was surrounded by a huge amount of chakra vortex, he was also shocked.

There's another expert?!

This amount of chakra has far surpassed my own!

He originally thought that apart from Naruto Uzumaki, he was barely considered invincible at the Ninja Academy…

So brave?! Whose subordinate is this?!

His gaze focused on the transparent eyes and the surrounding bulging meridians, the Hyuga family's genius in the second year?

Although that guy Naruto Uzumaki is annoying, he can barely be considered half a friend.

How can I watch him get bullied by the older students?!

After hesitating for only a moment, he stepped to Naruto's side and said in a low voice,

"Naruto, don't be afraid."

"I'll help you!"

Naruto looked in surprise at Sasuke Uchiha, who suddenly stood side by side with him to face Neji Hyuga,

His fair and cool face was full of seriousness and solemnity, and he was a little dazed.

Neji Hyuga raised an eyebrow at the sight, sneered, and his palms moved, with a surge of energy.

"Do you think a few weaklings can shake a strong person like me by joining forces?"

At this time, Iruka, with a scar on his face, ran over quickly to stop them.
