Treat Me as Your Enemy and Use Your Full Strength!

Ninja Academy.

The top floor of the teaching building.

The classroom was completely empty except for one person sitting inside, constantly writing and drawing.

Outside the classroom, Iruka looked at Neji inside with a troubled expression.

He then turned to look at Hagoromo, "Hagoromo, Neji is only a fourth-grader. Even if he goes on vacation, he'll be a fifth-grader at most next year."

"Isn't it too early for him to graduate now?"

Hagoromo waved her hand and said, "Iruka, there's no need to worry about this."

"Neji is my disciple, and I know his strength well. Also, don't forget, there will be a practical assessment for graduating early."

"And didn't you just see the person who was conducting the assessment?"

Iruka was taken aback upon hearing this, then looked at Neji inside the classroom.

Yes, if that person is the examiner, then Neji will have to have real ability to pass, no matter what.

About ten minutes later, Neji finished his test and came out to see Iruka and Hagoromo, so he bowed and greeted them.

"Master, Iruka-sensei."

"Okay, Neji, go ahead." Hagoromo nodded, letting Neji go first for the ninja tool throwing test.

Neji nodded upon seeing this and then walked downstairs.

Seeing this, Iruka had no choice but to follow, since he was the next examiner.

···

Snap--Snap--Snap--

"Ten rings, perfect score!"

Iruka announced with a delighted expression that Neji's result was indeed quite good.

However, ninjas don't just rely on ninja tools; they also can't be too weak in other aspects.

Thinking of this, Iruka couldn't help but say, "Neji, all you need to do next is pass the practical test to become a ninja."

Neji hearing this, and then headed towards the location of the practical assessment.

"Etc."

Seeing this, Iruka quickly spoke up.

Neji stopped and looked at Iruka with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong, Iruka-sensei?"

After all, Iruka had taught his class before.

"Neji, I want you to know that being a ninja isn't such a wonderful thing."

"Once you pass the test, the next step will be wearing Forehead Protector, and your hands will inevitably be stained with blood."

"Although this is somewhat inappropriate, your teacher hopes you will think carefully."

Neji frowned after hearing this, and it took him a long time to relax before he nodded to Iruka.

"I understand, Iruka-sensei."

Having said that, he didn't linger any longer and headed towards the location of the final challenge.

Watching Neji figure, Iruka couldn't help but sigh.

I just hope that Neji, after becoming a ninja, can protect himself.

Training grounds behind the Ninja Academy.

Neji just stepped inside when he saw someone he never expected.

Hiashi, who was sitting Hiashi under the big tree, heard the sound and opened his eyes, looking towards where Neji was.

He then stood up and walked slowly toward Neji, saying:

"I heard from Hagoromo Yi that you are applying for early graduation, so I took the liberty of coming to serve as the practical assessment officer."

Neji lowered his eyes and nodded, saying, "Understood, clan leader."

When Hagoromo arrived and saw this scene, she was speechless.

This Hiashi is really awkward; he looked worried when he first heard it, but now he has a deadpan expression.

"Alright, Neji, now unleash your full power."

Hagoromo patted Neji on the shoulder, then turned and went to the side.

"That's right. Don't treat me like a clan leader; just treat me like an enemy. Unleash your full power!"

After finishing his Hiashi immediately set up its formation.

He asked Hagoromo to let him be the final test, because he wanted to see Neji's strength.

If that's not enough, he wouldn't mind directly deciding that Neji failed the test.

Even if it makes the child hate themselves even more.

Hearing this, Hagoromo's lips twitched involuntarily. Was he afraid that Neji wasn't determined to kill him?

"Yes!"

Upon Neji looked up, veins bulging around his eyes.

"Byakugan - Open!"

An invisible aura emanated directly from Neji, even though this aura meant nothing to Hiashi.

This is···

"Eight Trigrams - Vacuum Palm!"

Neji did not hesitate and immediately unleashed his strongest power.

If you're worried about hurting Hiashi, you're seriously underestimating the prestige of the Hyuga Clan head!

······

Watching the figure gradually disappear into the distance, Hyuga Hiashi could no longer hold back.

As soon as he opened his mouth, a trickle of blood flowed out.

Haha, I was careless.

Because of his opening line, Neji immediately displayed the spirit of a Hiashi fighter, relentlessly dominating Hiashi.

However, Hiashi had been holding his own with Chunin upper-middle-level Chunin strength, but he hadn't expected this.

To let myself be defeated so completely--

However, that's enough. At least Neji's strength is definitely no less than that of Special Jōnin.

Thinking of this, Hiashi bowed to Hagoromo beside him, "Thank you for your guidance, Lord Hagoromo."

Hiashi knew that if it weren't for Hagoromo, even with Neji's exceptional talent, he wouldn't have achieved such strength at this age.

"No need, Hiashi- senpai."

Hagoromo waved his hand, and his eyes twitched as he looked at the trace of blood at the corner of Hiashi's mouth.

The Hiashi got injured was because he didn't exhale immediately after taking that breath, and the resulting tension caused his meridians to become disordered.

He truly hadn't expected Neji to be so insane; during the fight, it really felt like he was facing an enemy.

Hiashi nodded, then headed out of the training field.

Now that he knew Neji's strength, he didn't need to worry too much.

Besides, Neji most likely be accompanied by Hagoromo as his master.

There's even less reason to worry about that now; on the surface, Hagoromo is currently the strongest ninja in Konoha.

With such a strong person protecting him, his safety is somewhat guaranteed.

--

In the Hokage's Office, Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled as he looked at Neji was now wearing Forehead Protector.

"From this day forward, you will be Genin of Konoha."

"Yes, Lord Hokage!"

Neji nodded and bowed to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Alright, it's fine to call him Grandmaster." Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand, increasingly satisfied with what he saw.

Strictly speaking, Minato Namikaze is also his grand-disciple, and now we finally have another one like him.

Neji was a little embarrassed, since he wouldn't dare to actually call out to someone.

Ninjas place great importance on certain rules.

"Alright, old man, stop joking around with the young people."

Hagoromo, standing to the side, rubbed his temples helplessly and said to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Alright."

Hiruzen Sarutobi clicked his tongue and looked at Hagoromo, saying, "But Hagoromo, what are your plans for Neji?"

Originally, this should have been arranged by Hiruzen Sarutobi himself.

However, Neji is ultimately his grand-disciple, so it would be better to ask Hagoromo instead.

"Next, I will give Neji special training."

Hagoromo looked at Neji, "At the very least, we need to make some breakthrough in his strength."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded; this arrangement was good.

"Okay, I'll give you a month."

"No problem, that's about enough." Hagoromo thought for a moment and agreed without hesitation.
