Neji Hyuga's Madness

In the forest

Neji Hyuga looked at Xiao Yun, his voice brimming with endless venom, his face twisted into a terrifying grimace. He stared at Xiao Yun as though he were an irreconcilable enemy.

As if Xiao Yun had killed his father, taken his mother, and violated his wife.

"Neji?"

Xiao Yun looked at the man before him in astonishment. Neji had activated his Byakugan, his aura fully unleashed, his steps steady. He showed no sign whatsoever of being poisoned.

"Xiao Yun, you damned bastard! I'm going to kill you!"

Neji Hyuga slowly walked toward Xiao Yun.

"Neji, you weren't poisoned?"

Shikamaru weakly pushed himself to his feet, his eyes full of confusion.

"Of course I wasn't poisoned. I'm the one who poisoned you."

"That trash Gaara actually failed to kill you. I have to admit, you're strong! But unfortunately, you'll die by my hand! Hahahahaha!"

Neji stopped walking. He laughed—a mad, frenzied laugh.

"Why? Why would you do this?"

Rock Lee, Shikamaru, and Hyuga Yumi asked nearly in unison, their eyes full of bewilderment as they looked at Neji Hyuga.

"Why? Hahaha, why? Others may not know, but don't you know, Yumi?"

Neji Hyuga's eyes were filled with madness.

"I..."

Hyuga Yumi clenched her teeth, wanting to speak but stopping herself.

"Xiao Yun, you're nothing but an animal! So what if you're a little handsome, a little strong, smooth with your words, and have some money? What else do you have?"

"Tricking Yumi would've been one thing—I could have competed with you fairly. But you should never have tried to take my mother for yourself, and you should never have wanted to cuckold every man in the Hyuga Clan!"

"This is intolerable! And you call yourself Konoha's Holy Son? Today, in front of everyone, I'll expose the true face of you, a Kage-level perverted ninja! Let's see whether Lady Tsunade will still bear your children!"

"Even if she does, you won't live to see it! Hahahaha!"

Neji's laughter was filled with madness.

Everyone present was dumbfounded, staring at Xiao Yun in disbelief.

The viewers watching the live broadcast were equally stunned. Konoha was completely silent, and everyone's jaws nearly hit the floor.

Taking all the women of the Hyuga Clan for himself? Was this Konoha's Holy Son? More like Konoha's breeding stock!

After a long while, someone finally spoke.

"Fuck me, Xiao Yun is insane! The Hyuga Clan has over a hundred women. Even a workhorse wouldn't dare go that hard!"

"I thought I'd been with countless women, but compared to Xiao Yun, I'm nothing but trash."

"What the hell do you know? I heard about this—Hyuga Hiashi is playing a very big game."

"Damn, comparing yourself to others really makes you mad! I still have to rely on my right hand to get by, while Xiao Yun gets to take over a hundred women all for himself!"

"Now I finally know why there are so many bachelors in the Ninja World. There's already too many wolves and too little meat, and some people snatch over a hundred women at once. Animal. Ptooey!"

"Neji Hyuga, kill that beast! Save him from ruining anyone else's wife!"

"We support you, Neji Hyuga! Kill him, and you'll be Konoha's hero!"

The Hyuga Clan's council ancestral hall

The Hyuga Clan men watching the broadcast before the screen were all boiling with indignation. However, intimidated by Hyuga Hiashi's usual tyranny, they only dared to be angry in silence. Their Byakugan were activated, their heads lowered, and none of them said a word.

"I have already made my decision. Do not discuss this further. If you have business, present it; if not, this meeting is adjourned."

Hyuga Hiashi furiously swept his sleeve and deactivated his Byakugan.

These Hyuga Clan men were truly disappointing. They were only women. He had personally taken the lead and offered up several of his concubines—what the hell were they being so precious about?

"Get the hell out! Tenin, activate the Caged Bird Seal immediately and kill that brat Neji! If anything happens to Xiao Yun, every single person in Neji's branch will die!"

Hyuga Hiashi roared. Immense Chakra instantly filled the air, and the entire ancestral hall shook.

It had been many years since Hyuga Hiashi had been this enraged. The last time he had lost his temper so badly was when the Hidden Cloud Village abducted a Hyuga Clan member.

Feeling Hyuga Hiashi's overwhelming pressure, everyone fell silent in terror.

"Tenin, what are you waiting for? Activate the Caged Bird Seal! Now, immediately!"

Hyuga Hiashi shouted, nearly crazed.

"Yes!"

Hyuuga Tenin jolted in fright and immediately formed hand seals.

Ninja Art—Caged Bird!

Everyone stared at Neji Hyuga on the screen and closed their eyes in unspoken agreement.

They knew that once a branch family member had been branded with this seal from birth, a single thought from the main family could instantly kill them, no matter where they were.

"Father, the Caged Bird Seal seems to have no effect on Neji."

Hyuuga Tenin looked in terror at the completely unharmed Neji on the screen.

"How... how is that possible?"

Hyuga Hiashi's eyes widened. No one had ever been able to resist this seal.

On the screen, Neji Hyuga's lips curled into a strange smile.

"Heh heh. I actually broke the Caged Bird Seal long ago. Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Yumi."

Neji Hyuga slowly removed his Konoha forehead protector. The blue crisscrossing seal mark on his forehead appeared before everyone's eyes. With a light wipe of his hand, the seal mark on his forehead vanished.

"Thank me?"

Hyuga Yumi looked at Neji in confusion.

"Yes. You brought me into the Hyuga Clan's sacred grounds. That place recorded the hand seal sequence for every Caged Bird Seal placed on branch family members. As long as you form the seals in reverse, you can break the seal."

Neji Hyuga looked at Xiao Yun with a sinister expression.

"Neji, listen to my explanation. This is all a misunderstanding!"

Xiao Yun felt like crying without tears. This was a complete disaster out of nowhere. He had not even touched a single woman from the Hyuga Clan.

Now that Neji wanted to kill him, he truly had no way to fight back. The backlash from Master-Servant Dual Symbiosis and the Eight Inner Gates had left him unable even to stand.

Watching Neji Hyuga gradually approach, Xiao Yun panicked. Hyuga Hiashi, you bastard, you've ruined me! Fuck you!

"Neji, I won't let you kill Xiao Yun!"

Hyuga Yumi suddenly leaped in front of Xiao Yun, blocking Neji.

"Yumi, move aside. I don't want to hurt you."

Neji Hyuga spoke flatly.

"No. If you've got the guts, step over my dead body."

Hyuga Yumi took up a fighting stance and stared at Neji Hyuga with a grave expression.

"Yumi, you... don't force me."

Neji Hyuga's gaze turned cold.

"Neji, I already told you how important Xiao Yun is to one of our clan's factions. If you do this, you should know what consequences you and your branch will face. I can plead for you and ask Grandfather to spare you. Stop now."

Hyuga Yumi continued trying to persuade him.

"Hmph. Even if I die, I won't let my mother bear his child. My mother has always been faithful to my father. She would never do anything to betray him."

Neji Hyuga said.

"Wake up. Your father has been dead for years. Your mother has been a widow all this time—doesn't she need a man?"

Hyuga Yumi retorted.

Fuck!

Xiao Yun was speechless. Was she trying to persuade him?

She was forcing Neji to kill him!

Realizing she had misspoken, Yumi's pretty face instantly turned red. She hurriedly said, "What I mean is... is... anyway, I won't let you kill Xiao Yun, because... because I'm carrying his child!"

Fuck!

Fuck!

Fuck, fuck, fuck!

Xiao Yun was speechless. This was no joke—wasn't she just pouring oil on the fire? Did she think he was dying too slowly?

Big boobs, no brains!

Yumi has doomed me!

Sure enough, the moment Hyuga Yumi finished speaking, Neji Hyuga froze in place. He let out a desolate laugh and pointed at Hyuga Yumi. "Hyuga Yumi, you really are something else. Hahahahaha!"

"Back when we were dating, you wouldn't even let me hold your hand. How long have you known this bastard, and you're already carrying his child?"

Seeing Neji's heartbroken expression, Hyuga Yumi could not help but feel a flicker of guilt.

She had dated Neji for a time, but she later realized it had not been love. It had merely been the ignorant, hazy affection between siblings.

From beginning to end, she had only regarded Neji Hyuga as an older brother.

"I'm sorry, Brother Neji. Please let Xiao Yun go. He really is very important to our Hyuga Clan. Please?"

Tears welled in Hyuga Yumi's eyes as she looked at Neji, her face streaked with tears.

"No! I will never forgive him, never! Get out of my way, you bitch!"

Neji Hyuga roared madly and suddenly charged at Xiao Yun.

Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!

Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!

Neji Hyuga and Hyuga Yumi struck their palms at the same time, unleashing a violent gale that made everyone's faces sting.

In an instant, Hyuga Yumi flew away like a kite with its string cut. She spat out a mouthful of blood, crashed to the ground, and lay there.

So strong!

Xiao Yun was shocked. This man's strength was absolutely no less than Rock Lee's.

"Xiao Yun, die!"

Neji Hyuga leaped into the air and struck straight for Xiao Yun's crown. If that palm connected, Xiao Yun would likely be reincarnated without his head.

Xiao Yun instinctively tried to dodge, but his body simply would not obey him.

"Neji, don't!"

Yumi used every last bit of strength in her body to leap in front of Xiao Yun.

"Pfft!"

Hyuga Yumi spat out another mouthful of blood. Unlike before, this time there was much more...
