Naruto.
How embarrassing.
He was almost too ashamed to face anyone.
But he quickly regained his composure, as if that person just now had not been him, and continued watching the matches.
The others, however, did not look at him kindly.
He could only wait for time to smooth over the incident.
The matches continued.
Hyuga Hinata versus Hyuga Neji.
A Konoha civil war.
The current Neji was stronger than in the original story.
Because he had received more training from Tobitake Tonbo.
His combat experience was richer as well.
But Hinata's will was also stronger, and she was no longer as timid as before.
