Rock Lee Takes a Master? The Konoha F4's Amazing Maneuvers

The old man rambled on and on, probing for a long time.

He kept mentioning the Will of Fire, acting as if he completely regarded Rikuto as his future successor, as if he could naturally become the next Hokage as long as Rikuo grew up.

But the Rikuto were stubborn and wouldn't listen to reason.

Let's not even discuss whether the Third Hokage actually had such thoughts.

Even if they really wanted to groom him as the successor to the Hokage, he had absolutely no interest.

The position of Hokage.

He has always kept his distance from them.

Isn't freedom and unrestraint wonderful?

Being tied to the office all day long, reviewing documents, and working until midnight without time to rest—what's so good about that?

All he needs is for the Hokage to be "one of his own".

So.

He refused with just a few words.

Rikuto quickly said goodbye and left.

Seeing that Kurenai Yuhi had not returned.

Rikuto was too lazy to go back and disturb the mother and daughter Karin, who had just reunited.

Wandering aimlessly.

Before we knew it, we had arrived in the suburbs.

"Gentle Fist - Bagua... Sixteen Palms!"

"Bang... bang..."

Far away.

A thin figure wearing training clothes with a gray cloth tied around his head.

There, his movements were swift, his bandaged hands becoming afterimages.

He kept hitting the wooden stakes in front of him.

It was none other than his classmate whom he hadn't seen for two years— Neji Hyuga.

"Huff... huff..."

Although I never looked back.

But Neji Hyuga, who was panting there, had veins bulging at the corners of his eyes, and his pale gaze was piercing.

"Rikuto!?" His pupils shrank instinctively.

With the Hyuga Clan's vision that allows him to see 360 degrees without blind spots, ignore obstacles, and directly see through everything.

He noticed Rikuto immediately.

And, from that somewhat familiar face, he recognized the other person.

But the opponent's Chakra Pathway System contained an absurdly large amount of Chakra.

His pupils constricted sharply, and he could hardly believe it.

"Um?"

Looking at that familiar figure ahead.

Rikuto raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

He greeted her with a smile, "Yo, Neji, long time no see..."

He was taking aimless walks, enjoying the scenery he hadn't seen in two years.

They don't keep their sensory abilities active all the time.

That kind of life is too tiring.

You're back?

Neji was extremely surprised.

He naturally knew that the person in front of him had already been taken in as a disciple by the legendary Sannin, "Princess Tsunade of Princess of Konoha".

For the past two years, Rikuto has been following the other person on their spiritual journey.

"Yeah, I just got back..."

Looking at the faint bloodstains seeping from Neji Hyuga's bandages.

Rikuto exclaimed in amazement, "You really are hardworking... You've actually managed to unleash sixteen palm strikes in an instant! You truly deserve to be called a genius of the Hyuga Clan!"

· ··Requesting flowers·· ·····

Although Rock Lee is indeed very hardworking.

However, it must be said that Neji's efforts, even if not as good as Rock Lee's, are not far behind.

Behind the name of genius lies countless hours of blood, sweat, and effort.

"Hmph, compared to you, I'm far inferior..."

Although they hadn't fought, Neji could deduce the huge gap between them simply from the sheer amount of Chakra.

There was absolutely no intention to challenge the other party again.

Perhaps, this is fate.

Some people are destined to be rare, dazzling geniuses, whose brilliance is so great that countless others can only look up to them.

Some people, no matter how hard they try, are ultimately just ordinary geniuses in the eyes of others, unable to escape that tragic fate.

Some people, no matter how hard they try or how unwilling they are to give up, cannot change their mediocre talents and are destined to be at the bottom of the class.

0... 0

Thinking about this...

Neji couldn't help but clench his fist.

They kept saying they would kill him.

It was precisely this that he was most unwilling to submit to fate.

Even though his talent was second to none in the Hyuga Clan.

She even far surpasses that timid and mediocre eldest daughter of the Main Family.

Unfortunately, the other party was born into the Main Family, holding a high position and being respected by others.

However, since their talents and abilities far surpass those of their counterparts, they were born into a so-called "Branch Family."

Even their lives are controlled by others; they are born to protect the Main Family.

Although they are said to be members of the Hyuga Clan, they are essentially just servants enslaved by the main branch of the Main Family.

They could never escape that tragic fate.

"To fight for one's own life, one must be willing to sacrifice oneself."

Rikuto understood.

He was naturally well aware of Neji Hyuga's situation.

It must be said that Neji Hyuga's father, Hizashi Hyuga, was indeed quite unlucky.

She was only born a minute or two later than Hyuga Hiashi, who was born as a member of the Hyuga clan.

But their fates were worlds apart.

One is the esteemed and respected head of the Hyuga Main Family.

One of them, however, was marked with the B -Cursed Seal of reincarnation from childhood, and his life and death were controlled by the Main Family Branch Family at all times.

Even Neji Hyuga himself was mercilessly marked with the Reincarnation Cursed Seal when he was four years old, unable to escape the fate of being Branch Family.

That's fine.

The key point is that when Neji four years old, he was not long after the inscription was completed.

His father, for some reason, because he looked exactly like his older brother Hyuga Hiashi, died as a member of the Branch Family in place of Hyuga Hiashi, who was the head of the Main Family.

They became pitiful victims.

This made him feel a deep sense of unease towards his Main Family and his own fate.

Chapter 121 Rock Lee Becomes an Apprentice? The Amazing Moves of Konoha F4

"Alas..."

A gentle breeze is blowing.

On the open grassland.

The two, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, sat there and chatted idly.

Hearing that Rikuto had experienced so much outside in the past two years, I was truly amazed.

In contrast, he was confined to Konoha, a village of moderate size, like a frog at the bottom of a well, only able to see the sky from the bottom of the well.

Neji Hyuga was quite envious.

"Oh? Rock Lee has been taken Jonin as a disciple by Might Guy?" Rikuto was quite surprised to hear Neji say that Rock Lee had actually become a disciple of Jonin Might Guy.

He never expected that Rock Lee, who was supposed to be taken on as a disciple by Might Guy after graduation, would be the one he met.

Surprisingly, he gained the approval of Jonin Might Guy ahead of schedule and became his disciple.

"This is all because of you, Rikuto. When you came back last time, you mentioned to him that Might Guy, a Might Guy Jonin Konoha, is a strong Taijutsu Ninjutsu isn't good at it..."

Neji Hyuga helplessly shrugged.

Recalling the arduous journey of Rock Lee's apprenticeship, he couldn't help but sigh, "When that kid saw you being accepted as a disciple by the Sannin, he got carried away and put in all his effort. He searched everywhere Jonin Might Guy's residence, knelt at his door for three days and three nights, and finally Jonin exaggerated training with Might Guy for three whole months without giving up!" 060

"In the end, even Might Guy, a Jonin, was Jonin by his signature move."

Only that stubborn, headstrong young man was able to persevere.

If it were him, he would have given up long ago.

After all, Neji knew very well.

One's own arrogance.

This made him unwilling to beg for help in such a humble manner.

Even if he lived an ordinary life, he still held onto his principles.

Rikuto remained silent.

He never imagined that he had only mentioned it casually.

This actually emboldened Rock Lee to shamelessly Might Guy to become his apprentice.

And it was a success.

However, judging solely from Neji's words...

He could feel the hardship and challenges involved.

If it were him, he doubted he could do what Rock Lee did.

Perhaps it is because he was not a genius from a young age that he was called a loser.

That's why I don't have that arrogance, and I can grit my teeth and persevere in doing whatever I've decided to do.

Even if it means humbly begging someone.

"Brush..."

The radiance on his hands faded.

Rikuto gave Neji a little treatment.

His hands are covered in scars from years of exercise.
