Hearing Neji Hyuga speak with such confidence, all the Jonin widened their eyes in shock, staring at the commanding Neji Hyuga.
At that moment, Neji Hyuga seemed to shine with boundless brilliance, overflowing with confidence. With a wave of his hand, he dismissed the nations of the Shinobi World as though they were nothing; between laughs and casual words, it was as if his great undertaking had already succeeded, leaving everyone stunned.
If the Jonin had not been so knowledgeable and known that Iwagakure and Kumogakure were hard bones to chew, they might have believed Neji Hyuga's youthful fervor and followed him to accomplish something great.
"Ha ha ha ha..." Tsunade broke free of Jiraiya's supporting hands, clutched her stomach, and laughed so hard her chest shook. "I'm sure of it now. You little brat are living in a dream. What a beautiful ideal."
What Neji Hyuga had said could no longer be called arrogance. It was pure wishful thinking, like he had gone mad.
Especially the Jonin who had experienced World War II and the Third Shinobi World War had never believed that starting a war was a good thing, nor did they think Konoha possessed the strength to conquer the other ninja villages.
As far as speeches went, what Neji Hyuga said truly struck at the hearts of Konoha's hawks, especially Danzo Shimura.
But... unfortunately, Konoha's doves were simply too powerful. Their ideology had been passed down from Hashirama Senju and had practically become tradition.
Nor did anyone believe that when Neji Hyuga claimed to be stronger than Hashirama Senju, he truly meant he was stronger than Hashirama Senju.
After all, the tailed beast Neji Hyuga had defeated during the Chunin Exams, the One-Tail Shukaku, had the fewest tails among the tailed beasts and was also the weakest.
