Chapter 373: Chapter 371 : Naruto Takes Action!!
The power of the Byakugan would rise to a whole new level!
Kimimaro, who was already somewhat intrigued, felt the light in his eyes grow even stronger when he heard Genya’s words.
He looked at Genya seriously and asked, "Can I challenge you? Can I defeat you?"
In the past, Kimimaro served Orochimaru. But now, he only thought about how to become stronger and defeat Genya—not to force Genya to reveal his trump card.
If fusing with these eyes could help him defeat Genya, even with just a one percent chance of success, he would still try.
"Heh, you’re dreaming way too big. I’m here to make you stronger, not to let you dream!" Genya glanced at the eager Kimimaro and immediately poured cold water on him.
"But if you can fuse with the Byakugan, I’ll fight you using only my body. Whether you win or not depends on how much you’ve evolved!"
Only fight with the body?
A light flashed in Kimimaro’s eyes. That wasn’t so bad. Normally in battle, he could never get close enough to his opponent.
"Alright, then I’ll give it a try!" Kimimaro nodded solemnly, his eyes shining brighter. "I want to become stronger. I will definitely follow in your footsteps!"
"Can I join?" Jugo cautiously stepped forward, looking at Genya with a mix of hesitation and excitement.
Although they couldn’t beat Genya, Jugo wasn’t afraid to fight with his body alone. Right now, he had a surprising confidence in his physical strength.
In the ninja world, those who could surpass him by body strength alone could be counted on one hand.
Since Genya was so arrogant, they had to teach him a lesson!
"Alright, you two together," Genya agreed.
But before he finished, Neji appeared from the side, his eyes fixed on Genya.
He wanted to see where Genya’s limits were.
"You’re joining too," Genya said in the end.
Whether it was one person or two, they would still get beaten. They didn’t mind if there were more people.
Heh, these few really think they’ll win if he don’t use ninjutsus. They’re so naive!
Hyuga Chōryū and the others were already angry enough to shed tears, but right now, he felt powerless. He was praying that his father would notice his disappearance and send someone to find him.
If not—
They might really become test subjects.
"Toshi-san, when can the eye transplant happen?" After agreeing, Genya began asking about the main issue. "Set a date, and I’ll have Hikari assist you with the transplant!"
"It might take a few days. I need to measure their compatibility with Kimimaro first, then after taking the eyeballs, I’ll cultivate them," Bai carefully estimated the time.
"At least ten days. I’ll discuss this with Hikari personally. You don’t need to be involved."
"Alright." Genya didn’t know much about this, so he agreed.
"The matter’s mostly handled. I should go back to eat now!" With things arranged, Genya didn’t want to stay any longer and prepared to leave.
"Genya." Just as he was about to leave, Neji called out to him.
"Neji, do you have something else?" Genya wondered. "For your safety lately, just stay here. As long as you’re here, no Hyuga will bother you!"
"I want to fuse Kimimaro’s Shikotsumyaku cells," Neji shook his head and said directly.
"That cell is very dangerous. When I fused the Shikotsumyaku cells, it was extremely risky. You could be in even more danger. The success rate is only about twenty percent," Genya warned Neji again.
"I know," Neji nodded seriously.
Just now, he saw that Kimimaro could fuse the Byakugan to become stronger, so why couldn’t he fuse the Shikotsumyaku cells?
Back then,
He was afraid of failure and worried about his mother.
But now he knew—no, it wasn’t right. Only by becoming stronger could his mother be safe.
So...
He had to get stronger, stronger, and even stronger!
Break free from being Caged Bird Cursed Seal, become more powerful, so no one in the ninja world would dare bully him or his mother!
"You better think this through. It’s very dangerous!" Genya warned again.
"I’ve thought it through carefully," Neji nodded seriously. "I want to keep getting stronger..."
"In that case..." Genya paused, thinking for a moment before speaking, "In a few days, when I’m present, I will personally help you with the fusion!"
The Shikotsumyaku Cells isn’t like other cellular medicines. It can quickly spread throughout the entire skeleton, which is very dangerous!
After saying that, Genya’s figure disappeared from the laboratory.
Just as he left, a hurried blond figure entered, shouting, "Genya, come witness my new art creation! Hey... where is everyone?"
Deidara had just finished testing his clay. When he heard Genya had arrived, he rushed over excitedly.
But... Genya was nowhere to be seen!
"Gone!" Deidara looked frustrated. He had finally caught Genya once, but he left again.
Suddenly, he noticed several people on the ground—Choryū and others.
"Who are these? Byakugan? Members of the Hyuga clan?"
"They tried to kill Neji but were captured by Genya in return!" Toshi explained calmly nearby.
Toshi and Deidara were old acquaintances and he understood Deidara’s personality well.
Bang!
Hearing that they tried to kill Neji, Deidara immediately kicked them: "Tch, lucky you didn’t meet me. I’d have blown you to dust by now!"
Though Deidara was arrogant and confident, he didn’t mess around with his own people!
"Hey, hey. These are test subjects sent by Genya. You must not harm them!!"
"I know."
The moon hung high in the sky.
At the Uchiha hospital in Konoha!
The eighth elder of the Hyuga clan was watching over his clan grandson in the hospital, but his brow was tightly furrowed.
He had sent people to kill Hyuga Neji, but they had been gone a long time without returning, and the twitch in his eye grew stronger.
"Has Choryū not returned yet?"
Feeling frustrated, a Hyuga clansman pushed open the door and entered. The elder hurriedly asked.
That Hyuga Neji seemed strange lately. He was worried something might have happened to his grandson.
"Not yet. They must have discovered that brat Neji escaped and are now chasing him!"
The visitor was also an elder, about the same age as the eighth elder.
He was the fourth elder of the Hyuga clan.
In fact, when Hyuga Choryū set out to intercept Neji, they already knew and had agreed on this operation.
This time, they had only kept it secret from the clan leader, Hyuga Hiashi.
"But I still feel uneasy," the eighth elder said nervously.
"What is there to be uneasy about? Choryū and his group are all jonin. Besides, Choryū has the Caged Bird curse mark Activation method. He is invincible!" The fourth elder reassured him.
"He’s probably just chasing that brat Neji. Don’t worry, they’ll be back in a few days."
He was confident in this operation. For a main family member to kill a branch family member was an easy task.
"Maybe I’m just being suspicious," the eighth elder sighed, rubbed his head, and stopped talking. Instead, he looked at the unconscious Hyuga Sosuke lying in the hospital bed.
The hatred in his eyes deepened.
Hyuga Neji deserved to die. He must pay for the injury to his grandson. With blood, the price must be paid.
Meanwhile, in Naruto’s home.
The night was dark and windy. The surrounding houses were quiet, everyone resting.
But Naruto quietly pushed the door open, glanced around to make sure no one was there, and stepped outside.
