Training Ground's Overbearing Sasuke!

Time in school always passes quickly.

Initially, it was Sasuke and Naruto who would doze off in class.

Now... it had become Sasuke, Naruto, Neji, and Lee.

After school.

"Isn't that Hyuga Neji-senpai from the year above us?"

"So handsome, that cool face, those unique Byakugan, that... ah, I'm going to faint."

"Compared to Sasuke in our class, he's still a bit lacking."

"Uchiha Sasuke, Hyuga Neji... It's over, how am I supposed to choose?"

A group of fangirls were chattering in the hallway.

And the person they were talking about was none other than Hyuga Neji.

He, who was always indifferent, was actually waiting for someone in the lower grades, which made the infatuated girls start to fantasize.

"Brother Neji."

"Are you... waiting for me?"

Hinata walked out of the classroom and met Neji's gaze, which was fixed on the classroom door.

Their relationship wasn't particularly good, but Hinata had always admired Neji.

Whether it was Neji's talent, or his determination and strength in training.

Every time they sparred in the clan, Neji always held nothing back, displaying his full power to her.

His goal was to urge her to become stronger.

Hinata yearned for such a Neji.

"Mm."

"There are others, we'll wait for them and go together."

Neji had originally intended to ignore them, but a voice and figure appeared in his mind.

[Hinata is my friend too!]

Those cheerful words, that sunny smile...

"Brother Neji, do you know someone from our class?"

Hinata was a little confused.

From what she knew of Hyuga Neji, he wouldn't associate with people weaker than himself.

Could it be...

"Yo, Neji!"

"Are we going for training together today?"

Naruto waved at Hyuga Neji and said happily.

In these short few months, Naruto had already made several friends.

For Naruto, this was something he could never have imagined.

Therefore, he cherished this friendship now.

"Mm, where's Sasuke?"

"I asked Lee to go and reserve a spot earlier."

"So, I'm waiting here for you all."

Neji nodded and responded frankly.

"That's a good idea. You guys in the higher grades finish class earlier than us. If we go after school, there won't be any seats left."

Naruto said happily.

"Let's go, we'll bring Hinata along today. You two can go back together later."

Sasuke also walked out at this moment and suggested.

"Can... can I come too?"

Hinata shyly looked at Sasuke.

Just the invitation from this outstanding young man made Hinata blush.

"Let's go."

"In a few days, there will be a practical combat exercise."

"At that time, perhaps some of the older students will spar with us."

"We need to improve our strength as soon as possible!"

Sasuke reached out and patted Hinata's head, then greeted Neji and walked out of the school together.

"Bang!"

Hinata's face instantly turned red, even steaming exaggeratedly.

"Mm."

"I will."

Hinata's heart grew firm, and she chased after them.

At the public training grounds.

"Lee?"

Seeing the heavily injured Lee before him, Neji rushed forward with concern and helped Lee up.

"I'm sorry, I lost."

"The ground wasn't held."

Rock Lee looked up, completely ignoring his injuries, his face full of apology.

In his opinion, it was a great honor that Neji, a genius, was willing to be friends with him and had entrusted him with such an important task.

Yet he had messed it up.

"Yo, isn't this the genius of the Hyuga Clan, Hyuga Neji?"

"Just a mere branch family member, daring to think of himself as the heir of the Hyuga."

"The strongest abandoned son of the Hyuga, right... Hahaha..."

A few ear-piercing voices reached their ears.

Looking up, they saw a group of boys who looked about eight or nine years old.

Each of them wore an arrogant and mocking expression.

Hearing these words, Neji's pupils trembled slightly.

"Tch, what a bunch of trash."

"Neji, aren't these guys really weak?"

"The weak are the ones who seek superiority elsewhere when their strength is insufficient."

Sasuke's voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears.

Just a few words brought the arrogant laughter of the group of boys to an abrupt halt.

Neji also glanced sideways slightly.

"Weak?"

"Uchiha Sasuke, right?"

"Do you dare to fight me..."

"Bang!"

Before the boy could finish, Sasuke had already appeared behind him.

He pressed down on the boy's head and smashed it fiercely into the ground.

With a single blow, the boy lost consciousness.

"Fight?"

"Is this the capital you're so proud of?"

Sasuke glanced at the others, his lips curling in even greater disdain.

His words were even more impolite.

"That was a sneak attack, if..."

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

In a few breaths, all the boys who had been standing were now with their heads buried in the ground.

"Lee, I'll trouble you with something."

"Your body needs treatment too. Take them to the Medical Department."

Sasuke walked calmly into the training ground, leaving these two sentences behind.

"Okay."

Although Lee was injured, they were all superficial wounds.

There was no problem with him moving.

So, he rushed directly towards the Medical Department.

As a taijutsu ninja, the Medical Department was not an unfamiliar place.

More than ten minutes later, several medical ninja arrived and took away the ninjas lying on the ground.

Although he wanted to question them, upon seeing the members present, he immediately dismissed the thought.

Nine-Tails Jinchuriki—Uzumaki Naruto! [Little Fox Demon]

Hyuga Main Family Heir—Hyuga Hinata!

Hyuga Clan's Strongest Youth—Hyuga Neji!

Uchiha Clan Head's Second Son, Uchiha Prodigy—Uchiha Sasuke!

With such a combination, it was not his place as a mere medical ninja to interfere.

[After all, he wasn't Roy.]

"Sasuke, thank you."

After the first stage of training concluded, Neji said with a hint of tsundere.

"You're welcome."

"If I were insulted like that, you would have stepped in too, wouldn't you?"

"We are friends, after all!"

Sasuke extended his fist, a sunny smile on his face.

"Bang!"

"Mm!"

Neji had always been not very good at expressing his emotions.

He extended his fist to bump Sasuke's, nodding heavily.

"Alright, next is our secret training."

Sasuke didn't dwell on the recent events, instead changing the subject.

Once the seeds of friendship were sown, there was no need to interfere further.

"Uh... Hinata she..."

Neji looked at Hinata with some hesitation.

In his eyes, Hinata was just a young lady.

Talent—Average!

Physique—Average!

Strength—Average!

If she were to directly participate in this special training, would it...

Yes, he was worried.

But in the eyes of a tsundere, this was "looking down on her"!
