"The future life is terrible!"

Orochimaru praised.

In this world, he has obviously become a true teacher. Seeing how powerful his team members are, he shows the same kind and gratified expression as a master looking at his disciples.

"It seems that the future pillars of my big leaf village will be born between you!"

Orochimaru said, twitching the corner of his mouth.

His curiosity drives him to look forward to seeing more!

This battle was already dominated by Neji, and Itachi was definitely asking for trouble. He wanted to see more!

"The Mangekyou Sharingan should have stronger abilities, right?"

Orochimaru touched his forehead, his eyes peeking out from between his fingers, staring at Itachi.

To put it bluntly, letting Itachi crush Neji's bottom line and strength was the result Orochimaru expected, but now it's reversed. If Neji is so powerful, how far will he push Itachi!?

This is something Orochimaru doesn't dare to think about, but now... there is a chance!

"Fire Escape..."

Itachi took a step back and quickly formed seals.

Now he has been lurking in the ANBU for a long time. He is actually a double agent between Konoha Village and Uchiha. Moreover, he has been this spy for several years!

In order to hide his strength, he did not intend to seriously fight with Neji, but he had to recognize a fact in his heart...

That is, he may not be able to beat the Hyuga Neji in front of him!

Although he didn't use all his strength, the strength shown by Neji completely crushed him. His aura and chakra were definitely not inferior to those of Konoha Village's elite jounin!

Neji has actually already had the ability to enter ANBU and even become a squad leader!

"Water escape·……"

This time, Neji predicted it in advance.

"Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!"

Itachi spit out nine fireballs!

Neji frowned slightly, those fireballs were bigger and stronger than Sasuke's, and they were not the same ninjutsu as Sasuke's!

Neji frowned slightly and quickly formed seals.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

"Since you want to win with quantity, then I will win with quality!"

Neji extracted a large amount of chakra at once and injected it all into this water escape!

Moreover, Water Dragon Bullet is a water escape ninjutsu with a very high upper limit. When Neji instantly injected chakra into it to release the ninjutsu, he also achieved changes in nature and form at the same time!

"puff"!!

I saw that the water dragon began to change its shape, and continued to grow and become thicker.

It's like a thick old tree, and the dragon's beard is the root of the tree, so powerful!

"Ouch"!

Even at that moment, everyone heard the fierce roar of the water dragon!

"boom"!

The fire ball violently hit the water dragon, making a violent explosion. The shock wave emitted from the air, gradually spreading like a halo.

"Rumble"...

The lingering reverberation was shocking and trembling.

Everyone was stunned, even Itachi!

"This... change in nature plus change in form, yes! Is it possible for this guy... to..."

Itachi was completely surprised, and Orochimaru over there was even more surprised.

In the audience, apart from Neji, they were the only two people who had the most thorough understanding of the relationship between ninjutsu and chakra. They all understood at this moment that Neji's miraculous mastery of chakra was very likely...

That Ice Escape is something he has mastered by himself!

If Neji possesses the properties of both Water Release and Wind Release, he can use his extreme control over the changes in nature and form to create Ice Release. Compared to the Blood Succession Boundary itself, this ability to create the Blood Succession Boundary is unique and rare!

"Weasel!"

Orochimaru's eyes widened and he looked at Itachi.

He was looking forward to Itachi finally no longer hiding and using the power contained in his Mangekyo Sharingan!

Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu!

but……

"I lost!"

Itachi finally chose to admit defeat and took a step back. The Water Release stopped in front of him and was firmly controlled by Neji using chakra.

"this……"

Shisui on the side was also extremely shocked. Although he knew that Neji was very strong, he didn't expect that Neji could actually make Itachi admit defeat!

And this admitting defeat is different from when fighting with yourself.

When he surrendered to himself, Itachi probably had the attitude that he didn't want to take it seriously, but with Neji's ninjutsu this time, Itachi seemed to be... convinced of his defeat!

Afterwards, Neji just breathed a sigh of relief and replaced the water dragon.

"Sorry, I'm so offended!"

After that, training began, and thanks to this battle, Neji quickly established a very outstanding image among them.

After the training camp ended, it was already after dusk.

Facing the sunset, on the grassy cliff of the back mountain.

"Itachi, why don't you go all out today? With your ability, you should be able to defeat him, right?"

Zhisui asked straight to the point. There were only two of him and Itachi now, and he could also see that in that case, Itachi didn't need to hide his strength too much.

As a member of the Uchiha clan, Shisui was a little concerned about the name of the Uchiha clan.

Once Itachi loses today, this matter will definitely be spread among the people present, and from now on, within the ANBU, the voice of Uchiha not being as good as Hinata will be heard everywhere.

But Itachi smiled faintly, shook his head and said: "No, Shisui, I used to think that you were the top of the new generation of Konoha Village, or myself... From the genius of the previous generation, Namikaze Minato, to this generation,

Of you, I firmly believe that the next generation will be me..."

Afterwards, Itachi sighed and said: "But, I was too naive. This is not a matter of Uchiha losing to Hinata, it is a matter of me truly losing."

"Lost?"

"This guy wasn't serious at all when he was fighting me. I can see it..."

Shisui was startled.

Itachi said: "Illusion... This guy spent most of the battle with me using illusion to crush me."

"But obviously we..."

Shisui was a little surprised.

"You want to say that you also saw it?" Itachi asked.

Zhisui lowered his head, hesitant.

Shisui, who also had a high level of genjutsu like Itachi, actually had a strange... feeling.

He didn't dare to confirm it until Itachi said it.

"That guy made us all fall into an illusion!"

"Look, this guy will definitely cause a big storm in Konoha... no, in the ninja world!"

…

It's very late at night, on the side of the street.

"The ninja named Shiro has gone back, right?"

"Yes, I asked her to go back first so that you could show up. In fact, she and I live in the same place... So, what's the matter with you? Keep following me..."

Neji shrugged.

"As expected of...the Hyuga clan!"

Orochimaru's eyes at this moment were not filled with darkness, but full of admiration for Neji.

"I can see it. In today's battle... you beat Itachi by a big margin, both in terms of strength and talent!"

Orochimaru's praise meant nothing to Neji, it was nothing more than recognition.

"Thank you for the compliment, so what else can I do?"

Neji tried his best to act indifferent, just to let Orochimaru know that he was strong enough to do stronger ninjutsu!
Chapter completed!
