Hyuga's Rebellion

Chapter 11 Xiao Li's Challenge

Seven days later, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura finally appeared in the building where the exam took place.

After three generations of Hokage's careful mock exams, all three of them passed the exam without any risk, and officially qualified for the Chunin exam. When they entered the entrance of the building, Naruto saw a familiar figure with long brown hair. Ning Ci was leaning against the corner of the wall, while his companion Tian Tian and Xiao Li were standing there.

"Boy with thick eyebrows, you are here too."

Holding his head in his hands, Naruto Uzumaki said in surprise when he saw a familiar person.

"Really, what is your surprised expression? I am even more surprised by you who just graduated from school and took the exam!"

Seemingly dissatisfied with Naruto's unexpected tone, Tian Tian who was on the side replied angrily with his hands on his hips.

"Oh...is that so?"

Very surprised by Tiantian's answer, Naruto touched his head in embarrassment, and could only respond with a dry smile.

"The time has finally come, Neiji Hinata!"

Uchiha Sasuke ignored Naruto's farce, but stared at Neji leaning against the corner with interest.

"I can't help it anymore, Sasuke Uchiha, I thought you could bear it a little longer!"

Hearing Sasuke's voice, he saw the burning flames in Sasuke's eyes at a glance, Neji laughed dumbly, but his tone was still so flat, without any ups and downs at all.

"I missed it last time in the Land of Waves, and I will not give up the opportunity I finally got this time!"

With his eyes fixed on Neji in front of him, Sasuke's tone already had a hint of uncontrollable excitement.

"I understand, Uchiha Sasuke, I have seen your awareness, but determination alone is not enough, so let me wait and see your performance in the examination room!"

Although he knew that the current Sasuke was not his opponent at all, but it seemed that he was moved by Sasuke's fiery will, and Neji was also rarely interested. After looking at Sasuke for a while, his lips moved and finally gave the words that Sasuke was looking forward to.

"Let's go, Tiantian!"

"I see, Ning Ci...Xiao Li, what's wrong with you?"

Following Ning Ci's footsteps, Tian Tian suddenly noticed something and turned around suddenly, looking at Xiao Li who was still standing there, she was a little puzzled.

"Let's go first, I still have some things to confirm!"

Standing quietly at the same place, Xiao Li rarely gave a different opinion, which surprised Tian Tian, ​​but Ning Ci who was on the side smiled slightly.

Sure enough... as in memory, Xiao Li still made this choice, but, unlike in memory, Xiao Li is very strong now, um, he should be much stronger than that time.

As if remembering something, Neji shook his head slightly, feeling sad about what Sasuke was about to face.

"Don't worry about him, let's go first, but Li, don't waste too much time, because the exam is about to start!"

After giving Xiao Li a meaningful look, Ning Ci turned and left. Looking at Ning Ci's back, Tian Tian turned his head to look at Xiao Li again, and could only sigh helplessly.

Li, you can remember clearly, don't miss the exam! "

Seeing Xiao Li confirming his nod, Tian Tian followed up.

In the slightly crowded corridor, watching Tian Tian and Ning Ci's backs gradually go away, Xiao Li turned his head and looked at Sasuke and his party who had already walked into the hall on the other side.

"Uchiha Sasuke, please wait a moment!"

Xiao Li suddenly appeared behind him.

"Ok?"

Sasuke turned his head and looked behind him indifferently.

"I have something to trouble you, please fight me here!"

With his left hand behind his back, Xiao Li stretched out his right hand and said in a pleading tone.

"it's here?"

Sasuke didn't seem to be disgusted with this challenge, but he was a little surprised by Xiao Li's abruptness.

"If you don't mind, because I want to confirm my strength before this exam begins!"

Under Xiao Li's thick eyebrows, those eyes are full of sincerity.

"Then why should I promise you?"

Sasuke licked his lips and asked excitedly.

"If you want to challenge Neji, you must first defeat me, because I have never won against that guy!"

Although it was difficult to talk to him, Xiao Li still honestly said something that Sasuke could not refuse.

"Interesting, I accept!"

Sasuke's eyes brightened when he heard Xiao Li himself admitting that he had never defeated Neji once.

"Really, why is everyone talking about Sasuke, Sasuke, I'm so wordy, but I'm standing in front of you, boy with thick eyebrows!"

Naruto, who had been ignored by everyone in the field, finally stood up, with an impatient look on his face, it seemed that he was greatly stimulated by everyone's ignored eyes.

"Naruto, what are you doing?"

Seeing Naruto pinching his wrist, Sakura frowned and asked.

"5 minutes, just 5 minutes, I can solve this thick eyebrow!"

After moving the joints of his hands, Naruto, who had been neglected by everyone, said with a blank expression.

"Sorry, I don't want to fight you, Naruto, your current strength will not be my opponent at all!"

Looking at Naruto who suddenly stood up, Xiao Li shook his head in confusion.

"It's too long-winded, take it, boy with thick eyebrows!"

Stimulated by Xiao Li's confused expression again, Naruto gritted his teeth, and just went up like that, waving his fists. It seemed that he had some posture, but he didn't have professional physical training. , let Xiao Li see through the reality from the very beginning,

Without even a single wave of shock, Naruto's fist was easily held by Xiao Li with one hand. Looking down at Naruto with a stubborn face, Xiao Li shook his head.

"As I said, Naruto, you will never be my opponent!"

"It's too long-winded!"

For Xiao Li's answer, Naruto just waved his fist again to express his answer.

"Then what a pity, Naruto!"

Seeing that it was impossible for Naruto to listen, Xiao Li could only take action, let go of Naruto's fist, bent down and swept his right leg straight towards Naruto's lower body.

"Konoha Gale!"

Naruto, who was unable to make a decent resistance movement at all, felt a huge force hit his legs instantly, and he fell to the ground like a spinning top and flew out, his head hit the wall and passed out.

"No one is in our way now!"

Still with his left hand behind his back, Xiao Li stretched out his right hand and waved at Sasuke.

"interesting!"

The action of Xiao Li defeating Naruto neatly caught Sasuke's eyes and made him completely excited.

"Sasuke, the exam is about to start in 10 minutes, next time!"

Looking at Naruto who was lying on the ground beside him, Sakura looked at Sasuke worriedly.

"It won't waste too much time, I can end this competition in just 5 minutes!"

Sasuke, who was aroused by Xiao Li, would not give up their competition at all.

"Just talking big words can't solve anything, Sasuke Uchiha!"

Enraged by Sasuke's confident tone, Xiao Li also felt a little unhappy in his heart.

"It will be over soon!"

Sasuke smiled confidently, and then his figure moved, appearing in Xiao Li's sight.

"too slow!"

Although it was much faster than Naruto's speed just now, it was not enough. I saw Xiao Li shaking his head expressionlessly, and then disappeared from Sasuke's field of vision in an instant when he exerted his strength. He punched Sasuke from the side. rib.

"What about people..."

Sensing the disappearance of Xiao Li's figure, Sasuke bent down vigilantly, letting Xiao Li's punch pass by.

At this time, Sasuke's eyes also caught Xiao Li's position, but Xiao Li's imminent attack made Sasuke unable to dodge.

"I can't hide, I can only defend hard!"

After a little calculation in my mind, I understood that Sasuke was parrying with both hands to prepare for the early attack, but ah, Xiao Li's kick was ridiculously fast, and Xiao Li's legs had already arrived when Sasuke's hands were stopped in front of his chest.

There is no doubt that the bottom-up kick sent Sasuke flying in an instant.

"How is it possible, it actually passed through my defense!"

Half lying on the ground, Sasuke looked at the thick-browed boy in front of him in surprise, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Hehe, that's okay, just let me try this!"

Unable to figure out the bottom line of Xiao Li's strength, Sasuke could only use his trump card. The two hooks in the eye sockets slowly appeared on the surface of the eyeball, and Xiao Li, who noticed this scene, was slightly moved.

"This is the Sharingan that Neji mentioned!"

Whispering to himself, Xiao Li's expression became more serious, but he remembered very clearly what Ning Ci said that day.

"In that case, let me experience the true power of Sharingan!"

Still with his left hand behind his back, Xiao Li stretched out his right hand and quietly waited for Sasuke's attack.

"You won't be disappointed!"

Sasuke wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said in a cold voice.

Afterwards, his body began to move, and unlike before, his pace became more regular, but the speed was more than doubled.

"This is……"

Seeing this familiar scene, Xiao Li opened his eyes wide, and let out a sound of surprise in disbelief.

"You can't be wrong, this is Neji's physical skill!"

Seeing Sasuke's feet trampling on the ground brought out several afterimages in an instant, which made Xiao Li more sure of his judgment.

"What's the matter, why does he look very surprised, but ah, this is just a kind of sharingan sharing ability."

Enjoying the surprise in Xiao Li's eyes, Sasuke asked quickly.

Stepping on the spot dozens of times in 0.36 seconds, in exchange for a high explosion, Sasuke's movements are extremely flexible, and there are even bursts of afterimages during the high-speed movement, but Sasuke's face is a little pale, but it seems that he can still hold on for a while of.

"I can't drag it on any longer, or my physical strength will be the first to fail!"

Knowing his own limits, Sasuke didn't say much. When his legs got close to Xiao Li again, Sasuke bent down and swung his right hand towards Xiao Li's chin in a standard uppercut style.

"Snapped"

However, the ending was beyond Sasuke's expectations. The attack he expected was blocked by Xiao Li with his left hand just like Naruto before.

"how is this possible!"

Sakura on the side covered her mouth and looked at this scene in disbelief.

"why?"

Xiao Li clenched his right fist, Sasuke asked with a look of reluctance.

"If I'm not mistaken, you used your eyes to copy Neji's Taijutsu when he fought Zabuzhan, but ah... your body can't bear this level of wear and tear at all."

Resisting Sasuke's attack effortlessly, Xiao Li looked at the unwilling Sasuke in front of him and shook his head in his heart, but he still explained.

"hateful……"

It seemed that Xiao Li had guessed the truth, and Sasuke's face turned even paler.

"Besides, even if you ignore your attack just now, it took most of your physical strength to forcefully perform physical skills, and your attack will lose its power, just like your fist now, light and non-threatening!"

Having said that, Xiao Li shook his head in disappointment, and let go of Sasuke's hand.

"Are you underestimating me?"

Enraged by Xiao Li's disappointed expression, Sasuke raised his right leg in anger and kicked Xiao Li from bottom to top.

"whoosh"

However, just before Sasuke's right leg appeared on Xiao Li's face, Xiao Li's kick had stopped on Sasuke's forehead, and feeling the strong updraft brought by the combination of strength and speed on his cheek, Sasuke woke up instantly.

Sasuke looked at the wooden shoes that were close at hand, subconsciously bit his lips, realizing the fact that even Xiao Li couldn't beat him, his expression darkened instantly.

"It's over, Uchiha Sasuke, I already know your strength very well. Although you can use Sharingan to copy Neji's Taijutsu, it is not suitable for you. No, it should be said that you cannot adapt to it. ...And I have fought against Neji many times, but besides Neji, I am the most familiar with this move, the counterfeit you copied is no threat to me at all!"

Xiao Li's too honest words made Sasuke's expression even darker, but this was not the end.

"I remember that you want to challenge Neji, Sasuke! But I will give you a piece of advice, give it up, otherwise you will lose even worse than now, because you, who can't even be defeated by me, have no ability to stand against Neji. In front of you, you must know that geniuses are divided into two types, one is you and Ning Ci who have inherited the ability of blood inheritance, and the other is the acquired hardworking type like me, but ah...compared to me For a hard-working ninja, Neji put in a lot of sweat!"

Looking at Sasuke who was still unwilling, Xiao Li shook his head and gave a final warning.

"Then farewell!"

Then he watched him nod towards Sasuke and the others, leaving behind Sasuke with a fluctuating expression. He saw that Xiao Li had disappeared in the distance, and his eyes were full of self-denial.

"Working harder than me, does that mean I haven't worked hard enough?"

Being hit by the naked facts made his fists clenched a little more.

In the empty hall, it was extremely quiet at the moment, and even Naruto who woke up at the side opened his mouth in disbelief, wondering if he was surprised by Sasuke's failure, or because of Xiao Li's last Shaken by the admonition.
