Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

Chapter 805 When All Hope is Lost

Konohagakure

In the early morning, Neji left the Hyuga Clan and his direction was the Konoha Ninja Academy.

Today is the day of the assessment, and Neji is prepared for a tough battle. This time, he is going to win for sure.

With this thought in his mind, Neji arrived at the Konoha Ninja Academy.

As soon as Neji passed through the gate of Ninja Academy, he noticed someone’s figure quietly warming up under a tree. Upon getting closer, he found out that this was none other than Sasuke, and greeted him, “Sasuke, you came so early?”

Sasuke shook his head and pointed to the other side, “That guy is earlier than me!”

Neji looked over and found a kid his age taking laps of the ground. It wasn’t hard to realize that he had been running for quite a while. Seeing him, Neji was surprised, “Rock Lee too?”

Correct, this is none other than Rock Lee. Although Lee is unable to use Ninjutsu and Genjutsu when it comes to Taijutsu, Rock Lee is very strong, and from his determined expression, it’s obvious that he is going to go all out in today’s assessment.

And this wasn’t it, next, Sasuke looked in the direction of Hokage Rock, and said solemnly, “I heard someone say that Naruto didn’t sleep the entire night. He went there yesterday evening, and has stayed like since then.”

Neji followed Sasuke’s gaze and looked on top of the Hokage Rock. Although the distance is large, Neji noticed the outline of a figure sitting on top of the head of Yondaime Hokage.

Doubtful, Neji activated his Byakugan and looked there once again. This time the outline of Naruto’s figure was clearer, and considering the way Naruto was sitting, Neji guessed what he was doing there, “Is he absorbing Natural Energy?”

Neji may have failed to sign a contract at Mount Myoboku, but he gained enough knowledge to be able to figure out Naruto’s purpose.

Nodded Sasuke, “Yes.” And said with a smirk, “I hope that Naruto can show me the power of Senjutsu."

Seeing Sasuke, Rock Lee, and Naruto working so hard, Neji had to sigh. It’s quite obvious that he isn’t the only one who is diligently training. Whether it is Sasuke, Rock Lee, or Naruto, everyone is putting in all their efforts and training in order to become stronger and perform better in the assessment.

‘But it doesn’t matter… this time it’s going to be me!’ thought Neji as he hardened his fist.

At this time, Sasuke looked at Neji, and asked, “What about you Neji…? I’ll warn you in advance, recently I have learned a new Jutsu, if you don’t have anything new, you won’t stand a chance against my new Jutsu.”

“You will know when we face each other in battle.” Said Neji with a chuckle, and added, “Since Otou-sama will be coming to watch the battle, I can’t afford to lose.”

…

On the other edge the mainland.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Violent roars and explosive noise resounded through the forest as Hizashi held his injured left shoulder and ran.

His steps were messy and he didn’t have much chakra reserves left. All the Kunais, Shuriken, and other tools were also used so he didn’t have anything left to resist. At this stage, all he could do was run away, and that’s what he was doing. Looking back at the fire, he muttered, “By now, the news must have reached them.”

Passing the news back to the main family is what Hizashi cares about most at this time. From the brief contact he had with the young man, he was able to feel the young man’s contempt for the Hyuga Clan.

The young man’s attitude towards the Hyuga Clan, coupled with his strength and techniques frightened Hizashi.

Hizashi knows that he is not a Kage-level shinobi, but in the Jonin Rank, his strength is among the best. And such a shinobi is completely helpless against Otsutsuki Toneri.

The kind of strength that the young Otsutsuki has is way above his level, perhaps even a character with Kage-level strength will be helpless against Toneri.

That’s why, let alone killing or injuring him, just being able to escape this long from his has consumed every ounce of his strength.

All this while, there has been something on Hizashi’s mind, ‘Why… if we are descendants of the same ancestors, why is he treating the Hyugas in this manner? And what is this Tenseigan that he speaks of? I have never even heard of this term before!’

Hizashi couldn’t figure out the reason and continued to run. He looked at the distant horizon and muttered with a bitter smile, “It’s already past dawn, huh?”

The only good thing is that the young man doesn’t seem to be very well-versed in chasing and escaping, this has allowed Hizashi to use his experience and throw him off guard several times, if not for that, he would have been long dead by now.

However, the problem is, Toneri is learning and adapting at an extremely fast speed, and it won’t be long before Toneri catches him.

Despite knowing this, Hizashi didn’t panic, his job was completed, now even if he were to die, it wouldn’t matter that much. In fact, this kind of death is better, at least he would die the way he wants to.

The only regret in his heart is his son Neji and the promise he made to Neji. Thinking of his son, Hizashi couldn’t help but cry lightly, ‘I am sorry son… I may have to break the promise, but I know you will forgive me, after all, you are such a kind soul!’

Floating in the air, Toneri indifferently looked at the staggering figure of Hizashi and muttered to himself, “Does he really think that he can escape? No one can save him… persisting and resisting is futile!”

And Toneri increased his effort.

…

After a while of chasing and running, the two arrived at the edge of the forest.

It was near a beach, and the smell of the sea reached Hizashi’s nostrils clearing his mind as he realized that there is a cliff in front of him and he no longer has any place left to escape.

Toneri landed in front of Hizashi, and said, “Your resistance was futile, and now have nowhere left to run.”

Kneeling at the edge of the cliff, Hizashi sighed, “I guess… this is the end for me…” as he spotted a figure from the corner of his eyes.

Toneri also noted that figure, but it wasn’t someone he recognized, so he said, “No one can save you.” Then he raised his hand and used Banshō Ten’in on Hizashi. Toneri wanted to retrieve Hizashi’s memory before killing him.
