"Beep, beep, beep."
"Ding."
When the name appeared on the second electronic screen, someone else's face darkened as well.
That person was Neji!
To be honest, Neji was a very proud person too.
He could analyze the current situation clearly enough.
And now he was being made to fight a severely weakened Sasuke. With Neji's pride, how could he possibly feel good about that?
Moreover, barring any surprises, after defeating Sasuke, his next match would be against either Naruto or Gaara, who would likely be even more badly weakened.
While there was a high chance that he would become the champion of this Chunin Exams.
To him, though, it felt more like charity!
What Neji wanted was to fight powerful opponents.
But they could not possibly arrange for him to face two severely weakened opponents in a row, could they?
What was there even to fight?
If he lost or suffered a disadvantage, it would be humiliating.
If he won, he would not feel the slightest bit of glory either!
During the second round of the Chunin Exams, he had already missed the battle near the Central Tower in the Forest of Death.
Originally, Neji had thought that with so many strong opponents in the third round of the Chunin Exams, he would finally be able to properly display his strength.
But what the hell was this?
Although his previous opponents, Rock Lee and Hozuki Suigetsu, had been decent enough, neither of them had been worthy of making him go all out!
In Neji's eyes, only four people were worthy of his full strength: Naruto, Sasuke, Gaara, and Chiyo.
And now, he was facing Sasuke.
But Sasuke was severely weakened!
This simply could not make the blood in his veins, which longed to duel the strong, boil!
And that was
