"Is it you?"
The moment he saw Aoi, Kidōmaru didn't hesitate to turn his bow and arrow, aiming sharply at Aoi and shooting an arrow: "Hand over Sasuke!"
The golden spider arrow pierced through space, stirring up a violent tornado of airflow...
The spider golden arrow shot by Kidōmaru in his curse seal second stage, both in speed and power, was utterly despair-inducing!
But to Kidōmaru's surprise, Aoi didn't dodge or evade—instead, he charged straight at it.
"Poof…"
The golden arrow pierced deeply into Aoi's chest, blood spraying wildly!
But in the next second, with a "poof," Aoi's body suddenly turned into a puff of air…
"Clone?"
While Kidōmaru was stunned, a strange "sizzle" sound suddenly rang in his ears!
He split apart the grass, lowered both palms, and a terrifying faint blue arc twisted into a sword. Aoi slightly opened his mouth, silently bidding farewell: "Goodbye!"
"Lightning Blade!"
With a gentle push of his palm, the lightning surged violently. Aoi's entire body seemed to flow like a furious lightning bolt in the void, ruthlessly piercing through Kidōmaru!
"Zzzzz—"
When the lightning stopped, the remaining arcs still flickered on Kidōmaru's chest.
Inside the large hole pierced through his chest, his heart had already disappeared, and even his internal organs had been turned to charred remains by the electric current.
The Sound ninja quartet, Kidōmaru—dead!
Aoi chuckled softly and shook his head. Under normal circumstances, he definitely wouldn't have been able to take him down so easily.
But with the sneak attack, Kidōmaru, who had exhausted all his tricks, couldn't even withstand a single move...
"Are you a Konoha ninja? Why have I never seen you before?"
Hyūga Neji slowly stepped out from the corner, cautiously looking at Aoi: "Where's Sasuke? Where is he now?"
"You obviously haven't seen me."
Aoi smiled and shook his head: "If I were in this timeline, my body would have been frozen to death before the age of two…"
"What are you even talking about?"
Sensing danger, Hyūga Neji raised his kunai: "Hurry up and hand over Sasuke!"
"Hand him over?"
Aoi smiled and shook his head lightly: "That's not possible. That's my biggest bargaining chip!"
At this moment, Aoi suddenly remembered something.
Orochimaru—such a greedy guy. Could one Sasuke really satisfy his appetite?
Maybe it's time to add more chips to the table!
Aoi calmed himself and asked: "System, if I get hurt here, what will happen after I return to reality?"
"No matter whether it's death or completing the mission, the power of space-time will reverse, and injuries or death will be restored to the original state!"
Hearing this, Aoi suddenly smiled.
As expected, rewards without chicken ribs only have chicken rib uses!
New chips—obtained!
"Who are you, really? If you don't hand over Sasuke now, I'll attack!"
Hyūga Neji stared at Aoi nervously, though he knew his chances of winning might not be high.
But he had a reason he couldn't lose!
He was recognized as a genius of Konoha. He couldn't lose—that was his mission as a talented ninja!
"Pathetic genius!"
Seeing Hyūga Neji's expression, Aoi knew what he was thinking. In anime, Hyūga Neji defeated Kidōmaru with this kind of belief.
But... Genius? What a pathetic name.
Without strength, even the title of genius is just a name...
"Do you really want to know?"
Aoi smiled and raised a finger: "If you help me with a small favor, I might consider telling you!"
"What favor?"
Seeing Aoi's attitude soften, Hyūga Neji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If he could avoid fighting and save Sasuke, that would naturally be better.
"This favor is very simple!"
Aoi nodded with a smile: "You just need to die!"
"Crazy!"
Hyūga Neji's hair stood on end, almost instinctively throwing his kunai.
"Ding!"
Aoi blocked Hyūga Neji's kunai, smiling and gently shaking his head: "If you don't die, I won't feel at ease!"
With the space-time kunai out, followed by the Kusanagi sword, Aoi charged toward Hyūga Neji like a streak of lightning!
"Byakugan!"
Hyūga Neji activated his Byakugan, easily dodging Aoi's kunai and Kusanagi sword.
"Oh? Byakugan?"
Aoi smiled and nodded lightly: "But I wonder—whose Byakugan is stronger, yours or mine?"
"What?"
"Activate Byakugan!"
Aoi coldly accepted the reward.
In that instant, two warm currents suddenly erupted from Aoi's pupils. With the naked eye, a faint white light slowly spread across his eyeballs until it covered the entire eyeball!
The Byakugan, activated!
"What, how is this possible!?"
At this moment, Hyūga Neji was panicking almost speechless.
"Are you surprised?"
Aoi blinked gently, just like a nearsighted person putting on glasses for the first time. The world became even clearer!
"Your Hyūga clan, which would sacrifice brothers to protect the bloodline, now appears on my outsider body!"
"No, this is impossible!"
Hyūga Neji, like he had gone mad, threw out shurikens, trying to kill Aoi.
But under this 360-degree Byakugan, Hyūga Neji's resistance was utterly pointless. Aoi moved arrogantly, as if he had cheat codes, unscathed!
Aoi slowly walked in front of Hyūga Neji, gently pressing his hand on that dazzling curse mark in the cage: "Now, do you understand?"
"Genius!?"
Aoi smiled, tightening his grip on Hyūga Neji's neck: "This is the real Byakugan!"
Hyūga Neji had already lost all fighting spirit. When he saw that what he had guarded his entire life was meaningless, suicide became his only option!
Aoi gently broke Hyūga Neji's neck, sneering and clenched his fist: "From now on, I never want to bear the title of genius again!"
Danzō, wait for it...
I will make you pay!
