By then, Neji had reached the Konoha Shinobi.

Looking at Might Guy, who stood ready for battle, Neji said calmly, "Teacher Guy, there's no need to look so serious. I came to work with you this time."

"Work with us?" Tobirama Senju stepped forward. "What grounds do we have to cooperate with a rogue ninja like you?"

Neji looked back at Tobirama Senju in puzzlement. "Why rush to get out? Once we've dealt with Madara's backup plan, staying inside will be the safest option
