Wants to Kill Hanabi

Using the Byakugan, Hanabi Hyuga's gaze could penetrate the building and see directly into the hall.

She was worried about Ye Fan and wanted to see how he was doing.

Why had he not come out with everyone else?

But what she saw left Hanabi Hyuga frozen on the spot.

Inside the hall, Ye Fan had already climbed down from Laiyun.

He now stood in the middle of the venue, as though the pungent smell and smoke had not affected him in the slightest.

He even wore a thoughtful expression, as if he were reflecting on what he had learned from this retest.

What Ye Fan did next was even more incomprehensible.

Ye Fan actually formed hand seals with both hands.

The seals he formed were incredibly strange.

They did not resemble any ninjutsu.

Seeing this, Hanabi Hyuga felt inexplicably excited.

She completely ignored the burning pain in her eyes and continued watching.

As Ye Fan completed his hand seals, the smoke that had filled the hall suddenly shrank and gathered at a terrifying speed.

In the end, it formed something the size of a pill and floated down into Ye Fan's hand.

Hanabi Hyuga was startled. She had known from the beginning that Ye Fan was extraordinary, and seeing it with her own eyes now only confirmed her suspicions:

Senior Ye Fan really was no ordinary person.

What kind of technique had that been?

Senior Ye Fan had not used chakra, so what had he used?

And why had Senior Ye Fan stayed behind?

In an instant, several questions popped into Hanabi Hyuga's little head.

And her gaze could no longer leave Ye Fan.

After clearing the smoke from the hall, Ye Fan actually turned around and waved in Hanabi Hyuga's direction. He must have noticed her spying on him.

"Hanabi, what are you doing?"

Just then, Hinata Hyuga's voice came from behind her. She was looking at her younger sister with concern.

Hanabi Hyuga finally came back to her senses and hurriedly said:

"Senior Ye Fan is about to come out."

As soon as she said this, everyone turned to look toward the hall's exit.

Sure enough, not long afterward, Ye Fan strolled out leisurely.

"Is everyone all right?" Ye Fan asked with a smile.

It would have been better if he had not asked. His reminder immediately made everyone recall the torment they had just endured.

"Ye Fan, what exactly did you do?"

Iruka spoke first, his voice still hoarse.

"I just used an improved smoke bomb." Ye Fan walked over as he spoke. "Iruka-sensei, that doesn't count as breaking the rules, does it?"

Iruka thought about it. It really did not count as breaking the rules.

Ninjas often used smoke bombs during matches to conceal themselves, but Ye Fan's smoke bomb had been far too outrageous. It had practically been meant to choke people to death!

"Ye Fan, you passed the retest."

Iruka announced the final result of the retest.

He had originally thought Ye Fan would pass with his new Ninja Hound. Never in his wildest dreams had he expected it to turn out like this.

"Brother Ye Fan, congratulations! You finally passed the retest!"

Kiba Inuzuka shouted with immense joy.

After all these years, Ye Fan had finally passed the ninja examination and could become a Genin. Even Hana Inuzuka would have been happy if she were here.

"Ye—Fan—"

At that moment, a voice that sounded as though it had been squeezed through clenched teeth rang out. It was clear just how furious the speaker was.

Everyone looked toward the sound and saw Neji Hyuga glaring at Ye Fan with bloodshot eyes.

He had originally intended to teach Ye Fan a good lesson. Who would have thought that Ye Fan would not only pass the retest, but also leave him in such a miserable state?

How could he, a person who had always worn the crown of a genius, endure such humiliation?

"Neji, the retest is over!"

Seeing this, Iruka hurriedly spoke up to remind him.

Although Ye Fan had used special means in this retest and exploited a loophole, since the result had already been decided, they could only accept it.

"It isn't over yet!"

Neji Hyuga was consumed by fury. All he wanted now was to teach Ye Fan a lesson.

"Stop!"

Iruka saw that Neji Hyuga intended to attack. Ignoring his own condition, he ran over to stop him.

Unfortunately, Iruka was no match for Neji Hyuga.

He had barely raised his arms to block him when Neji Hyuga dodged and slipped beneath them.

"Ye—Fan!"

Although Neji Hyuga could no longer use the Byakugan because of the swelling pain in his eyes, few Genin could match him in taijutsu alone.

"Neji!"

Almost at the same time, Tenten and Rock Lee blocked Neji Hyuga's path.

"Move!" Neji Hyuga said coldly.

Tenten and Rock Lee continued blocking the way. They both knew that if Neji Hyuga were allowed to attack Ye Fan now, the nature of the matter would change entirely.

Not only might he gain the reputation of being unable to accept defeat, he might also be accused of attacking a comrade.

"I'll say it one last time. Move! Aside!"

Neji Hyuga suddenly raised his voice.

For Tenten and Rock Lee, this was the first time they had seen Neji Hyuga this angry, and they could not help but hesitate.

It was precisely because of that hesitation that Neji Hyuga found an opening. With a turn and burst of speed, he broke through their blockade.

Neji Hyuga had only one thought left now: he had to give Ye Fan a ruthless beating.

He would make Ye Fan regret everything he had done today.

"Brother Neji, are you trying to bring shame upon the Hyuga Clan?"

A small figure suddenly flashed in front of Ye Fan, staring solemnly at the rapidly charging Neji Hyuga.

That small figure was none other than Hanabi Hyuga.

As the second daughter of the Hyuga Main House, her status far exceeded Neji Hyuga's.

"Get lost!"

To everyone's surprise, Neji Hyuga shouted, his rage growing even stronger.

Despite her young age, Hanabi Hyuga was decisive. She immediately took a fighting stance and shouted:

"Byakugan!"

The veins around her eyes bulged as Hanabi Hyuga activated her Byakugan.

She was preparing to attack directly.

Although she had always regarded Neji Hyuga as her goal, his place in her heart was far below Ye Fan's.

Not only did Neji Hyuga show no restraint, killing intent instead surged from his body.

This guy actually intended to kill Hanabi Hyuga!

She was the second daughter of the Main House!

Whoosh!

Just as Neji rushed close, a white shadow shot out, meeting him with the speed of a streak of white light.

Bang!

Everyone heard a dull thud, then watched in shock as Neji Hyuga was sent flying backward.

Only at that moment

did the white shadow reveal its true form.

It was Ye Fan's new Ninja Hound—Laiyun!

With just one strike, Laiyun sent Neji Hyuga flying.

Roar!

After landing its blow, Laiyun threw back its head and let out a roar, terrifying killing intent bursting from its body.

Whoosh!

Its four paws shattered the ground.

Laiyun's entire body transformed into a streak of white light once more, chasing in the direction Neji Hyuga had been sent flying.
