In the corner of Konoha Commercial Street, the shop has long been closed.
The moonlight is like water, quietly shining on the tile-paved roof, giving this area a layer of clear light.
Tenten stretched his body and lay lazily on the roof of his house Weapon Shop, with his hands behind his head and looking at the bright moon above his head.
The cool night breeze blew her hair and cheeks, bringing a rare sense of tranquility.
Beside her, two familiar figures accompanied her.
Neji Hyuga was sitting cross-legged, with his back straight and his white eyes looking particularly cold in the moonlight, as if he was regulating his breath or meditating.
And Rock Lee was on the roof not far away, doing push-ups at an extremely fast speed and with an astonishingly standard posture. His sweat had soaked his green training clothes, which shimmered in the moonlight, and he was still roaring, "One thousand nine hundred and seventy-eight! One thousand nine hundred and seventy-nine!"
"Ah... that's nice."
Tenten looked at the starry sky and sighed softly, "It's great that you are all back."
She refers to Neji and Rock Lee, as well as all the companions who returned safely from the previous series of turmoil and missions.
Under the tide of Shinobi World reunification, the Ninjas of Konoha have also experienced a lot of running and fighting.
Just...
She glanced sideways at the two people beside her, and couldn't help complaining: Even these two guys were too incomprehensible.
Such a beautiful moonlight, such a rare leisurely night, we went up to the roof to admire the moon together, and one of us was meditating while the other was exercising like crazy!
Can't you just stop and look at the moon and have a chat?
It seemed that he had heard Tenten's inner criticism, or that he had just finished adjusting his breath. Neji's pure pair of Byakugan turned to Tenten, his eyes calm and waveless, as if he could see through people's hearts.
"Following the footsteps of Lord Sixth, victory is inevitable."
Neji suddenly spoke, his voice as calm as his eyes at the moment, but with an unquestionable certainty,
"The strategies he formulated, the strength he displayed, and the paths he chose all keep us in the right direction.
Although there were twists and turns in the previous mission, the results were as expected."
"Eh?"
When Tenten heard this, he stood up half of his body in surprise and looked at Neji with obvious surprise on his face.
"This is not like what you would say Neji!"
In her impression, especially some time ago, when Neji mentioned Naruto, although she didn't speak harshly, she always felt a bit gnashing of teeth.
At least with a complicated feeling of dissatisfaction.
After all, the two ladies of the Hyuga Clan, Hinata and Hanabi, are very attracted to Naruto. This is no secret in Konoha.
As for Neji, since she completely got rid of the shackles of the Main Family Branch Family and changed her mentality, her hidden "girl control" attribute seems to have awakened.
I don't like Naruto, the "quasi-brother-in-law" who is very likely to become the future partner of my two younger sisters. I always feel that this golden retriever Kid has abducted my precious sister.
Neji seemed to see through Tenten's thoughts. He looked away and looked at the moon in the distance again, his tone still calm. "No matter what my personal likes and dislikes are, there is no doubt about Sixth Hokage's strength.
Not only has his personal strength reached a height that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, but what is even more rare is..."
He paused, "During the previous expansion operations, I noticed that every time before taking action against the target Shinobi Village, he would leave enough time for the other party to prioritize the transfer of civilians and unrelated personnel to minimize unnecessary casualties.
This is completely different from many war actions in the past where the end justifies the means."
Neji doesn't like Naruto, which is more out of selfishness and a brother's desire to protect his sister.
But putting aside this emotion, as a Ninja, as a Hyuga Prodigy who has experienced the cruelty of war and has also thought about the Ninja path, he appreciates the strength, pattern and consideration of "people" displayed by Naruto from the bottom of his heart.
Strength and kindness coexist, this is the true style of a strong man.
"That's right! Naruto is a model of passionate youth who is constantly making progress and constantly surpassing limits!"
Rock Lee, who was doing the 2,000th push-up next to him, suddenly jumped up, his whole body was steaming, his eyes were burning, Flames said loudly, "So we can't fall too far behind!
You must put in more effort and sweat to closely follow the footsteps of youth leaders! Okay! Next is squatting a thousand times!"
As he said that, Rock Lee really started to squat again at an astonishing speed and standard, and he was still shouting count.
Tenten and Neji looked sideways at the same time, looking at the green figure sweating profusely under the moonlight, like a perpetual motion machine.
Both of them had helpless smiles on their faces.
Although Rock Lee has worked very, very, very hard, his youthful passion for never giving up is also admirable.
But...
If we only rely on such pure Taijutsu training, we can catch up with Naruto who can already destroy three big countries by himself...
Then Shinobi World may have been in chaos long ago, and the Taijutsu genre has long been dominated by the world.
Naruto's progress has long gone beyond the scope of conventional Ninja's understanding. It is simply the power of God.
The path of Rock Lee is also worthy of respect, but they are two completely different and equally difficult roads to the top.
"Well, forget it."
Tenten lay back again with a smile on his lips, "Having goals and working hard is always a good thing.
At least looking at you, I feel like I can't be too lazy."
Neji also nodded slightly, said no more, closed his eyes again, and continued his breath adjustment.
On the roof, only the moonlight, breeze, Tenten's emotion, Neji's silence, and Rock Lee's never-ending, youthful exercise counting sound remained on the roof.
The peaceful moon-viewing time did not last long.
Just when Tenten sighed, Neji adjusted his breath, and Rock Lee was sweating like rain.
Boom!
A powerful, violent Purple Eyes Chakra, full of cold anger and hatred, was like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly erupted, rising into the sky from the position of Uchiha Clan Compound without any warning!
Even though they were far apart, the three people at Team Guy could clearly feel the violent emotional fluctuations contained in Chakra, as if they were about to tear the air around them apart!
"!"
"Something's happening!"
"Enemy attack?!"
The three people on the roof instantly entered the highest alert state.
Tenten A carp stood up straight, his hand already touching Ninja Tool Pouch behind his waist.
Rock Lee's squatting movement stopped abruptly, and he maintained a half-squatting posture, his muscles all over his body were tense, and he looked warily at the source of Chakra's explosion.
Neji reacted the fastest. Almost at the same time as Chakra exploded, the veins in the corners of his eyes had popped out. The pure Byakugan instantly opened up. His vision penetrated the buildings and the night, and accurately locked onto the home of Sasuke Uchiha.
"This smell of Chakra... is it Sasuke?!"
