The scary pulling power was like a bottomless black hole. Even someone as strong as Neji couldn't control himself and flew towards Tendo Pain.
Even the Akatsuki members were surprised, because they didn't know Tendo Pain had this power.
They only knew Tendo Pain was strong and their leader, but he hadn't fought, so his strength was hard to figure out.
They never expected his first move to be so scary. It made them feel uneasy, but some people were calm, like Konan, Obito, and Black Zetsu.
"To create peace in the cycle of pain, I need to get rid of you first." Tendo Pain's face was calm as he spoke coldly. He waved his sleeve and a black rod appeared in his hand, ready to stab Neji.
Neji wanted to shout out loud. Wasn't he just curious about Pain's face under the mask? Now he suddenly wants to kill him. He's not even human.
"Earth Style: Stone!"
But he wasn't going to wait to die. His right arm turned to stone and he smashed the black rod with a punch. He used his crystal power to make a crystal wall in front of Tendo Pain. Then, he pushed off hard with his feet, shattering the wall and using the force to jump backward.
"That's...Byakugan?" Even though Tendo Pain didn't succeed, he saw Neji's eyes for a moment.
"Paper Rain!"
Konan flew high again, her wings fluttering, and countless paper pieces shot down.
"Rotation!" Neji spun around, blocking all the paper.
"So you really are from the Hyuga clan." Tendo Pain said.
"Yeah, so what?" Neji didn't plan to hide that he was from the Hyuga clan. The Byakugan was too much trouble to hide, so he just admitted it.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Konan didn't give Neji a chance to breathe. She made paper clones to attack. They looked normal, but they were full of exploding tags. However, Neji had seen this move in the Hokage show, so he was ready.
"Eight Trigrams Empty Palm!"
Before the paper clones got close, Neji blew them away with a burst of air. But then, the ground under Neji shook. Two arms rose up and grabbed Neji's feet.
"La la la, Deidara, give him some heat!" The masked man said excitedly, pulling Neji's legs.
"Okay, fine." Deidara stood on a clay bird and dropped exploding clay bombs.
"Art is an explosion, yeah."
"Tch, is that Tobi? They really look down on me." Neji jumped up and grabbed Tobi, then slapped him away.
He gently clenched his hand, turning all the clay spiders into crystals, and they fell down.
"Explosions? What are you thinking?" Neji laughed and turned them into dust.
"Water Style: Great Exploding Water Wave!"
Splash, splash, splash...
Just as Neji was about to attack Deidara, a lot of spit...no, water suddenly poured out of Kisame's mouth and filled the area. Neji jumped up without thinking.
Water was Kisame's territory. He didn't want to be at a disadvantage.
"You're not getting out today. Water Style: Water Shark Bullet Jutsu!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he used his power to make a large shark-shaped water bullet and attacked Neji in the air.
Neji narrowed his eyes and quickly used Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu. Instantly, a thick water dragon rose out of the water and clashed with the shark in the air, canceling each other out and turning into rain.
"Almighty Push!"
Tendo Pain raised his hand and Neji was hit by an invisible force and fell into the water before he could react.
"Kisame."
"Got it!" Kisame smirked and slammed his hands on the water, creating 1000 shark-shaped water bullets to attack Neji underwater.
Water Style: Limitless Sharks!
"Not done yet, Water Style: Great Shark Bullet Jutsu!"
Kisame went into the water and a huge shark formed, opening its jaws and swimming towards Neji.
Neji's Byakugan glared, veins popping out. His hair spread out and shot out black needles, breaking the shark bullets.
"I can't keep this up, these guys will kill me." Neji thought to himself underwater.
"Crystal Style: Crystal Dragon!"
The water around Neji suddenly turned into a crystal dragon, carrying him towards the surface.
Splash!
Just as Neji broke the surface, Konan appeared with a paper spear.
"Fire Style: Great Fire Dragon Technique!"
Also, behind him, Itachi breathed out a fire dragon that flew towards Neji.
But something strange happened. The fire dragon and the paper spear went through Neji's body. Konan and Itachi crashed into each other, and Neji jumped away from the crystal dragon.
"What?" They were both surprised.
The masked man above was also surprised. Someone else could become invisible like he could.
Boom!
Konan and Itachi quickly backed away from each other and looked up.
"You fought Konan, you got the reward [Paper Person Technique]."
Paper Person Technique: Put power into paper to control it to attack, defend, or spy. You can also add exploding tags to make attacks stronger. You can also turn yourself into paper to avoid attacks.
Neji hung upside down on the wall, looking seriously at the Akatsuki members. He felt uneasy. Even though he had fought many times, only a few minutes had passed, and many of his best moves had already been used.
"Byakugan, Ninjutsu, using snakes, and such strong power. You must be Hyuga Neji, who is causing a stir in the ninja world." Black Zetsu said.
"Who knows?" Neji said calmly.
Sometimes, mixing truth and lies makes it harder to figure out.
"You're strong, but it's too early for you to stop us." Tendo Pain said calmly.
Neji smiled and said, "Maybe not."
As soon as he finished speaking, a noise started in the distance. Then, the rock wall between them broke and light shone in.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
People suddenly appeared and stood against the Akatsuki.
"Where's Gaara?" Chiyo asked slowly.
"Uh..." Neji glanced and said, "I think they buried him underwater."
