"Hinata, wait over there first."

"I'll finish this quickly."

Naruto ruffled Hinata's hair and told her to wait at the side.

As for his brother-in-law...

He would give him a little taste of his strength.

After all, they were family. What if he beat him too badly and his brother-in-law took it out on his future nephew?

Naruto slowly assumed a Wing Chun opening stance, even introducing himself to his brother-in-law.

"Konoha, Foshan Naluduo!"

Neji's mind went blank. He had no idea why this guy was introducing himself before they started fighting.

What the hell was Foshan Naluduo??

He did not understand, but out of respect for his opponent, Neji still copied his words and responded.

"Konoha, Neji Hyuga."

Naruto:?

Hearing Neji's reply, a question mark instantly popped up in Naruto's mind.

No...

Why were you copying me?

Getting so formal all of a sudden... was making things pretty awkward for him.

Whatever. He would beat up his brother-in-law first and worry about it later.

His brother-in-law was only a teenager, yet he went on and on about fate and destiny every day. Naruto simply could not understand it.

Still, judging from the way Neji had looked at Hinata just now, Naruto felt that a battle between them was inevitable.

And unlike the Other Heavenly Mouth from the original story, he had not put any points into Mouth Jutsu. Instead, he had unlocked Zaun-level taunting skills.

All he could do was taunt his brother-in-law viciously at the start, then beat him into submission.

If he dared talk about fate again...

Naruto would beat him up every time they met.

That would keep him from running off to throw his life away in the final battle.

Master Uzumaki pushed off with his right foot and dashed straight toward Neji Hyuga.

Neji instantly activated his Byakugan and glanced at the blond's Chakra...

At that moment, it was as if he had seen the sun.

In the Byakugan's vision, not only were the blond's chakra pathways several times thicker than an ordinary person's, but the Chakra within him was so abundant that it was almost blinding.

If an ordinary ninja's Chakra was a flame, then the Chakra inside this blond was a sun.

How was that possible!?

Why did he have so much Chakra??

As a genius of the Hyuga clan, Neji had never lost his composure like this before.

He had not even reacted by the time his opponent closed in.

The moment Master Uzumaki reached Neji, he tried to attack his centerline. Once Neji came to his senses, he lightly rotated his arm and deflected Master Uzumaki's attack.

"You..."

"What kind of monster are you!"

Neji blocked Naruto's attacks with a few punches and kicks, then shouted in shock.

But more than surprise, he was actually confused...

This guy... had such astonishing Chakra...

Why was he running up to fight him in taijutsu?

From that brief exchange, Neji had realized that this blond did not know taijutsu at all.

Heh...

He was using his weakness to challenge Neji's strength?

Was he looking down on him?

The more Neji thought about it, the angrier he became.

He felt that this blond was far too arrogant. He turned his head to evade the incoming fist, then spun back and threw a vicious punch at his opponent's head.

The fist in Naruto's eyes grew larger and larger. He immediately realized that he could not dodge his brother-in-law's punch.

He was not afraid of pain, but getting punched in the face was still an extremely unpleasant experience.

His fingertips twitched slightly. A purple Light Gate appeared behind Naruto, and he leaned back before vanishing from where he stood, causing Neji's punch to hit empty air.

Seeing this, Neji immediately assumed a defensive stance, his Byakugan constantly searching for the guy's whereabouts.

However, at that very moment, a purple Light Gate instantly opened behind Neji. Naruto's dazzling Chakra was impossible for Neji to miss.

But Naruto was simply too fast. The instant he appeared, he viciously kicked Neji in the butt.

After countless sparring matches with Sasuke over the years, Naruto knew very well how to make an enemy lose their balance.

When facing an opponent, their center of gravity would generally tilt slightly forward so they could be ready to attack or defend at any time.

And disrupting that balance was very simple...

Before Naruto had even emerged from the Space Gate, he lifted his leg and kicked Neji in the butt, then opened a Light Gate in front of Neji.

Caught off guard, Neji staggered forward uncontrollably from the kick and plunged headfirst into the purple Light Gate.

Neji could only watch helplessly as he stepped into the Light Gate, followed by the unease rising in his heart toward it.

He did not know what would happen after he entered...

Seeing that Neji had successfully been kicked into the Space Gate, Naruto curled his lips upward, looking immensely pleased with himself.

This was his self-created move—the Whirlpool Style Triangle Kill.

He had drawn inspiration from the Ma Style Triangle Kill in a game from his previous life.

It was a pity he had not learned his old man's Flying Thunder God and Rasengan yet. Otherwise, he could have thrown a kunai into the Space Gate first, then sent his enemy through the Light Gate.

Then he could make the kunai and enemy follow the same path, form a Rasengan, and deliver a Flying Thunder God slash.

Just imagining that move made Naruto's scalp tingle.

It was way too cool!

But for now...

All he could do was kick an enemy into a portal, teleport to where they would land, and charge up a punch for his brother-in-law.

Someone unfamiliar with teleportation would have no time to react the instant they landed.

So this punch would hit one hundred percent of the time!

At the same time Neji vanished, Naruto threw out a Space Gate and entered it. His destination was where Neji would land.
