"who?"

Kaguya Kimimaro was standing on top of the huge skeleton, relying on the place that blocked the sky and the sun, and cast his gaze downwards along with the sunlight.

"Kimimaro? It's Neji! And me, Ino~"

When Ino saw Kimimaro, he immediately felt friendly and waved quickly.

Ningji in front of him walked forward with an indifferent expression.

Kimimaro frowned tightly, and after questioning for a moment, he said: "Those who trespass will die."

"call out"!

Kimimaro, who was above, quickly came down in one quick step.

Neji curled his lips and faced him head-on!

"prick"!

There was a sound that broke through the air, and a long hand bone stabbed out from Kimimaro's palm.

"Shua"~

A few strands of Neji's hanging hair were cut off, and he immediately glanced aside.

Sure enough, Kimimaro's next thing was a sweeping sweep, and Neji took the opportunity to condense his hands and move away with one palm.

With a "bang" sound, Kimimaro was hit in the abdomen, and his whole body retreated several meters away.

But he immediately regained his footing, and saw that the dense curved bones in his abdomen were retracting, and the palm just now was barely able to hurt him.

Then, he tilted his neck and threw out the bone blades in both hands. Several curved bones were pierced out of his forearms, which were extremely sharp.

Neji was surprised and found it interesting.

He also made a seal and opened his white eyes.

Ino, who was watching from behind, was surprised. He didn't expect that Kimimaro had changed in two years. His physical skills and corpse bone vein abilities had been greatly improved. Even Ningji couldn't improve in physical skills now.

What advantage did he take?

"You two, stop fighting, Kimimaro, you..."

As soon as Ino was halfway through speaking, the two of them started to fight again.

She sighed and stepped back to avoid hurting herself.

"Corpse Vein·Dance of the Willows!"

Kimimaro found an opportunity and took advantage of the gap between Neci's palms to dodge in a single step and move to Neci's side.

With just one stroke of his hand bone, he almost pierced into Neji's body.

Neji, on the other hand, jumped lightly and stepped on Kimimaro's arm.

Kimimaro frowned slightly, but did not form any seals, only condensing chakra and releasing it.

With a "pop" sound, sharp bones stabbed out from his hand one after another.

Neji jumped up to avoid it, while Kimimaro sprinted towards Neji at extremely fast speed.

"it's over."

Kimimaro walked to Ningji's side indifferently, and the bones pierced out of Kimimaro's body, threatening to hurt Neji.

But Ningci only smiled slightly and said: "Not bad, I have grown up..."

Then, the chakra in his body burst out from every acupuncture point.

I saw that after the sharp bones in Kimimaro's body were thrust out, each one was squeezed by a large amount of chakra, so much so that even the bending could not penetrate the chakra's defense.

"This is Bagua·One strike..."

Kimimaro was surprised and quickly formed several large curved bones on his back.

Then, Ningji slapped him hard!

"Boom"!

Kimimaro was knocked down from the air at an extremely fast speed and landed on the ground, almost sinking into the ground.

But the large curved bones on the back withstood the impact, greatly reducing the damage.

He stood up with difficulty and was startled again.

"this……"

He only felt that the chakra in his body could no longer travel smoothly at this time, and he could only see the acupuncture points intersecting and scurrying around randomly.

Neji, who was on the opposite side, said: "Don't try again. I have blocked the critical point. It seems that you have really restrained the curse seal, Kimimaro."

Neji smiled. Under the sun, he seemed to be the same boy he was two years ago.

Kimimaro took a deep breath. Although he was completely defeated, he actually showed a rare smile.

"Lord Neji! It's really you!"

Kimimaro walked over quickly and excitedly, looking at Neji in front of him, he couldn't believe it.

Neji just shrugged and spread his hands and said: "It seems that you did listen to my instructions. No matter who comes, you must prevent them from approaching this tomb within your ability."

"Well, in the past two years, absolutely no one has walked this road through my hands!"

At this time, Ino patted her chest, breathed, and walked over.

"I'm scared to death, you two!"

And Ningji looked at the small rebuilt cabin not far away. The surrounding yard was very exquisite. After all, it was an era that was more dedicated to development. Even the temporarily rebuilt residence looked very elegant.

"But in terms of feeling, it's still the same as it was more than forty years ago, Neji?"

Ino chuckled from the side.

Neji was startled and surprised.

"Are you able to read emotions now?"

"Haha~ After all, I have been with you for a long time, and your expression just now was too unconcealed~ Hehe!"

Neji was a little surprised. He didn't expect Ino to follow him, as if he was cheating.

I can't help but have a unique talent in medical ninjutsu, and my perception ability has also increased rapidly. In addition, my mastery of the secret arts of my family's mountain seems to have instantly transcended mediocrity and become a genius of the mountain clan. I understand various abilities very quickly.

Then, several people entered the wooden house together.

After sitting down, Kimimaro said first: "Now, Konoha Village is facing an unprecedented crisis. But even though Lord Neji has been away for two years, his power has been protecting Konoha."

"What do you mean?" Ino was confused.

Kimimaro explained: "Both Yuki and Kurotsuchi played a strong role in annihilating the members of the Akatsuki organization. Especially Koso, she gave the village a great improvement in medical ninjutsu, so this time

Although the village has experienced widespread casualties, thanks to Tsunade-sama’s efforts, the number of injured is gradually decreasing.”

"Yes, the first reason I came here is to confirm the safety of this tomb. It seems that the seal is quite complete and only needs to be repaired."

After Neji said that, Kimimaro nodded: "Yes, although Konoha Village was in crisis at that time, I couldn't help but want to help. But I really couldn't rest assured. Fortunately, Uzumaki Naruto came back from Myoboku Mountain and threatened to help.

Lord Jiraiya takes revenge..."

"Revenge for Lord Jiraiya?" Ino blinked.

"Um……"

Kimimaro lowered his head and fell into silence.

Neji took a deep breath and said: "Since the tomb is safe, I can rest assured. Secondly, I am here to help the village deal with the tragic situation after the war."

"Tragic situation? Didn't it mean that the number of injured was decreasing...?" Ino looked confused.

Kimimaro finally began to explain: "Although the villagers and children are well protected, Konoha Village has experienced great setbacks in the past two years. Especially after the war, Konoha Village's combat power has far

It’s not as good as before.”

"Most ninjas are ninjas who died once. Although they were later resurrected by magical power, their combat power was still reduced by one level."

"The elite jounin Sarutobi Asuma died in the battle with the Akatsuki organization. One of the three ninjas, Jiraiya-sama, died in the mission to go to the Amegakure Village to explore intelligence. Rizu-sama was seriously injured in this battle.

In order to protect the villagers, they fell into a severe coma. Tsunade-sama psychic slug protected everyone. Because there were too many people and the amount of chakra was consumed too much, she was already in a state of near death..."

Having said this, Ino was deeply shocked.

She finally understood what the so-called miserable situation of Konoha Village was.
