Chapter 21: Praise the Strongest Ninja
After rescuing Sakura, Inarika Die and others were worried that the situation would change, so they hurriedly escaped.
Only Tiantian took out the Shiwu Jue that Neji gave her before.
"This is a special Wujue herb. It is very rare and should be very effective."
Tiantian gave the remaining herbs to Xiaoying.
"Thanks."
"hiss……"
At this time, Xiao Li on the side also woke up.
Looking at him every day makes my head grow bigger.
"Oh, there's no need to thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank that thick eyebrow. He treats you..."
"Sakura!"
As soon as Xiao Li woke up, he immediately got up with difficulty and walked this way.
"Sakura, are you okay?"
I saw that part of Sakura's hair had been cut off, her whole body was dirty, and she was covered in large and small scars.
"Okay, I have given Sakura the medicinal herbs, you should take care of yourself first!"
She complained every day and pulled Xiao Li to leave. She suddenly felt really tired. How could there be such a weirdo in the team? She might as well be like Neji!
Thinking of this, she thought to herself: "But fortunately Neci is not here. If he saw the master just now, Neji would probably be hit hard. It's all about palm skills, so why is he so far behind others?...
…”
On the other side, after Ningji retreated, he didn't go far.
I'd better find a place to take off my ANBU uniform, take off my mask, pack myself up, and plan to come back to find them.
"This clothes is really useful!"
Neji hesitated for a moment and collected his pockets.
"Forget it, I won't return it to them!"
Anyway, he saved their lives, so Konoha's Anbu must not be so short of money. He just lost a mask and a set of clothes, so they shouldn't be traced to him, right?
…
After Neji met with Tenten, he listened to Tenten telling him how brave the boy wearing the mask was.
Xiao Li echoed, while Neji just listened from behind and smiled silently.
Gradually it was dusk again, and the three of them drove for most of the day without stopping, and finally arrived at the finish line successfully.
"Thank you for your hard work. Congratulations on passing the exam!" Iruka was already waiting in the room.
"I didn't expect that in the middle of the huge forest of death, there is actually an intelligence station?"
I carry the scroll on my back every day and look left and right.
Xiao Li was also eager to chat with Iruka. At the moment when the two passed the exam, all their fatigue seemed to disappear, and they felt satisfied and happy.
Neji followed behind, silently.
His physical strength is slowly recovering, and his chakra is gradually returning to stability.
"Then, please go to the lounge inside and have a good rest!"
Several people walked to the lounge one after another.
There are two groups of five people inside.
Two groups.
On one side were Hinata, Kiba, and Shino, and on the other side were two Suna ninjas.
The Suna ninjas don't have particularly good eyesight, and they seem to disdain the company of Konoha's genin at all.
Temari sat like an old lady, with her hands on her hands and her eyes closed to meditate.
Kankuro, on the other hand, crossed his arms over his chest and looked proudly at Neji and others who entered.
"How slow!"
He yawned and turned his head away.
"Brother Neji!" Hinata greeted with a smile, and Neji just smiled in response.
"We are actually the third one?"
Tiantian and Xiao Li went up to them and started communicating with Ya, Shino and the others.
When Neji saw that the room was connected to another huge space, he walked along the door.
It might be better to go to a quiet place, but the looks in the eyes of those Suna Ninjas are really uncomfortable.
After walking in, Neji realized that this was actually a training ground!
It’s a huge space, as big as nearly ten classrooms!
"It seems that this place used to be a training ground?"
Neji couldn't help but become a little curious about the history of the Death Forest.
In the training ground, what stood before Neji's eyes were wooden stakes. There were nearly a hundred of them. There were also pits in other places with traces of various practices, but they were all very old.
"It seems like no one has been here for a long time..."
Neji walked over and stretched out his hand.
When it was hit on the wooden pile, the dust scattered, but it was not heavy. From this, it seemed that this place had been used not long ago.
"It is said that this is the training ground of an ANBU organization. They moved to a larger training ground a few months ago. It is said that the ANBU organization is relatively mysterious and is not affiliated with the Hokage... However, I don't know much."
Tiantian walked in and walked towards a place while talking.
"Ah, there seems to be a concealed weapon area over there. I'm really curious, how do so many ANBU practice concealed weapons?"
Tiantian, who has a special liking for ninja tools, finally reveals his true side as a little girl.
Having already passed the exam, she naturally wouldn't embarrass Ningci, and to be fair, Ningci had made several achievements in this exam.
Neji did not answer, but after confirming that his physical strength was gradually recovering, he began to practice with the wooden stakes.
Naturally, he won't do anything random here, Neji just goes through the motions simply.
One palm, two palms, the movements are extremely fast.
From the moment the dust flew up to the moment it hit the ground, Neji used his hands more times than he could count.
The wooden stakes are all human-shaped wooden stakes. If someone knows how to do it, they will be able to see that even with empty palms, Neji is practicing on the acupuncture points regularly.
Seeing Neci practicing every day, he didn't say anything more and went to look for various hidden weapons to observe.
An hour passed like this.
"drink!"
Neji was still practicing, and when he came to see it every day, his jaw dropped in shock.
"No, Neji, why are you still practicing?"
Neji looked back and stopped moving.
"Ding! This training is over, Soft Fist proficiency +779! Bagua Sixty-Four Palm proficiency +128!"
Neji chuckled: "Ah, just practice casually, it's not strenuous anyway!"
Tentian tilted his neck, remembering the mysterious ANBU master he met in the forest.
"I said, you should have listened to what I said about the masked ANBU, right? His palm technique is the real palm technique..."
When Tiantian mentioned this, he seemed a little unable to bear to hurt Neji.
"Oh, you'd better take a good rest. If you can recharge your batteries and be able to successfully advance to Chunin with us this time, then find a way to work hard! Just practicing is useless."
Tiantian said, just about to leave.
At this time, a strange voice sounded.
"You are wrong, this guy is very strong."
"who!?"
Tenten broke into a cold sweat, and even Neji was startled. He immediately looked up.
Gaara was seen standing with his feet on the ceiling, looking down with his head raised.
"Ahhh! You guy, when?"
Tenten hurriedly took a few steps back, and was shocked when he saw Gaara jump down.
Gaara's eyes, however, could not be separated from Neji in front of the wooden stake.
"I've been watching you for a long time. You are the strongest genin I have ever encountered in Konoha."
Gaara's words made Neci slightly startled.
"The, strongest?"
Tiantian frowned, looking at the short red-haired man carrying a sand gourd on his back, puzzled.
"What nonsense are you talking about? That guy Neji is Konoha's top guy!"
As soon as Tenten finished speaking, Gaara glared.
Chapter completed!
