Refuse? Then I'll Wipe You All Out!

Sasuke and the other two passed by the spot where Little Lee had just been beaten and immediately understood why so many people had been stopped here!

The three kept their expressions unchanged and walked past calmly!

"You couldn't even see through such a simple genjutsu?"

"That bushy-browed guy doesn't seem all that impressive either!"

Naruto could not help muttering under his breath, somewhat disdainful of the bushy-browed guy who had challenged Sasuke earlier!

"Don't underestimate them!"

Sasuke suddenly spoke up, his expression somewhat grave as he warned Naruto and Sakura!

"Why?"

"Sasuke, did you notice something?"

Sakura was very curious. She felt that ever since they had met Gaara, Sasuke had become overly cautious!

"It's not that I'm being too cautious!"

"Didn't you look into our teacher's background?"

"He has a younger brother!"

"Sasuke, are you saying our teacher's younger brother is in the same class as them?"

Sakura suddenly remembered what Ino had told her. Their teacher's younger brother, Hyuga Neji, was the undisputed genius of the previous class!

Sakura had even specifically asked around afterward and learned a little about Hyuga Neji!

"Mm. You didn't notice earlier, but I did!"

"Sakura, you know him?"

"I do. Hyuga Neji, a year above us!"

"From the day he enrolled, he had far surpassed people his age. He's an absolute genius no one could catch up to!"

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you talking about?"

"No matter how talented he is, our teacher probably didn't have time to teach him, right?"

"Ever since our teacher returned to Konoha, he's been with us the whole time. You know that!"

"Naruto, we know. That's exactly why we have a chance!"

"Otherwise, we'd have no chance at all!"

"But don't underestimate him, even if he didn't receive our teacher's guidance!"

Sasuke knew very well just how powerful it was to have an older brother to look up to!

The pressure was immense too, but it would keep forcing him to work harder and harder!

As for the three of them, they had been with their teacher for far too short a time!

Hyuga Neji, on the other hand, had been working tirelessly and chasing after their teacher ever since before he had even enrolled!

Sasuke had no choice but to take him seriously. It was not because he lacked confidence in himself, nor because he was being overly cautious!

He knew very clearly just how much power a genius who still trained desperately could unleash!

The three stopped talking and arrived at the door to Classroom 301!

They pushed it open and walked in, paying no attention to the many gazes sizing them up!

"Sakura, you're here?"

Ino suddenly ran over and wrapped her arms around Sakura's. Ever since they had talked things out, the two had gotten along extremely well!

"Ino, why are you here so early?"

"We just got here too. If we didn't come early, who knows whether Shikamaru would drag his feet and show up late!"

Creak!

The door was pushed open again, and Neji's group of three walked in, sweeping their eyes across the classroom!

In the end, they headed toward the nine Konoha rookies, since they did not know anyone else.

At least they were all from Konoha, and everyone was about the same age!

"Hello. You don't mind if we join you, do you?"

Neji smiled as he spoke to the nine of them, though his gaze was mainly fixed on the three members of Team 7!

"Welcome!"

"I'm Hyuga Neji. These are my teammates, Tenten and Little Lee!"

"We know. Your reputation is no stranger to us!"

"You should know about the three of us too, right?"

Sasuke stared at Neji, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly!

Neji's mindset was so similar to his own in the past that Sasuke could understand him!

Neji nodded. As expected, none of them were easy to deal with. Had they already investigated him?

"I know!"

"Second Pillar, Haruno Sakura, Uzumaki Naruto!"

"I know them too!"

Bang!

Someone wearing a Sound Village forehead protector slammed a hand onto the desk, clearly displeased with the Konoha group's behavior!

"You Konoha brats are being a little too noisy!"

"What do you think this place is? It's not a marketplace!"

In the corner, a bespectacled young man watched the scene, a gleam flashing across his lenses!

It was none other than Kabuto Yakushi, the master of shattered dreams!

Just as he was about to step out and show off his acting skills, the three members of Team 7 stepped forward in unison!

They stared at the man with unfriendly looks in their eyes!

"This is Konoha!"

"In our own home, we can do whatever we want. What are you going to do about it?"

Sakura stared at him and spoke word by word, completely unconcerned by his somewhat fierce build!

"Heh..."

"What am I going to do about it?"

"Look around. There are over a hundred people here. Who else came in chattering away like you did?"

"So many seniors are here, all behaving properly. Don't you think you're being disrespectful to your seniors?"

The Sound Village ninja was clever. He knew he was not confident facing the Konoha group alone!

In just a few words, he dragged all the other ninjas into it!

That did not mean the others were fools. They were all in unfamiliar territory, and sticking together was much better!

They all glared furiously at the three, releasing their killing intent!

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"Peace brings prosperity, peace brings prosperity!"

"They're still young. Please don't take offense!"

Kabuto Yakushi put on a smile and hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over!

Neji flashed forward, appeared in front of Kabuto Yakushi, and pulled him aside before saying to Team 7:

"Go on!"

"If you need help, just say the word!"

After Kabuto Yakushi was pulled away, the two sides locked eyes once more!

"What?"

"Scared?"

"Then apologize and keep quiet. We'll let this slide this time!"

The Sound Village ninja spoke again, mocking the three of them!

"Scared?"

"Of trash like you?"

"Who gave you the nerve?"

Sasuke's arrogance, suppressed for three months, was finally unleashed!

Facing the hostile stares of the crowd, he displayed the Uchiha Clan's signature contempt to the fullest!

"Bastard!"

"You little brat!"

"You damn bastard!"

"Watch out, or I'll kill you!"

Sasuke's trash talk immediately drew a wave of furious curses. Those people were red with rage and began firing insults right back at him!

Bang!

"What?"

"Not convinced?"

"Then I'll wipe you all out!"

Sakura slammed a fist into the floor, sending cracks spreading across the ground.

Killing intent erupted from her body as she swept her eyes over the room and spoke in an incomparably chilling voice!

Boom!

Boom!

Sasuke and Naruto unleashed their auras, pressing down on everyone across from them!

"Not convinced? I'll wipe you all out!"

Behind Team 7, Ino stared at Sakura in her violent state, her mouth hanging wide open!

Th-This was Sakura?

She had expected Sakura to change, but she had never imagined she would change this much!

The others were also somewhat frightened. This was their first time seeing Team 7 like this!

Neji smiled faintly and turned to look at Tenten and Little Lee.

"See?"

"I told you they were strong!"

Tenten nodded blankly. Looking at Sakura, another girl like herself, Sakura's bearing at this moment was simply too domineering!
