Chapter 63 A Traitor Has Been Discovered in Konoha
Defeated Hinata returned to the stands with Kurenai Yuhi's help.
Because Neji held back, he wasn't seriously injured.
Neji followed him back.
"That's great, Neji! You've finally moved on. This is what youth is all about!"
Kai was deeply moved that Neji was able to resolve the conflict with the main family.
"Hinata, you did a good job today."
Hiashi walked over, praised Hinata, and then looked at Neji, who looked nervous. "Neji, when we get back, I will give you your father's will. I hope you will work hard as the head of the branch family and protect the honor of the Hyuga clan together with Hinata in the future."
"what?"
Neji never expected to witness the suffering of the caged bird, but instead received these words from Hiashi.
"Chieftain, is what Miss Hanabi said true? Is she really going to...?"
Neji's gaze fell on Hanabi, who was chatting with Hakumo behind Hiashi.
"Yes, that's right, everything Hanabi told you is true."
Japan nodded.
"It's actually true..."
Neji turned his gaze to Bai Mo.
This must be the enemy of the Hyuga clan who wanted to steal Hanabi, right?
But... why doesn't Hanabi seem to hate the other party?
"Um?"
As Neji was thinking, he suddenly saw Bai Mo stop chatting with Hanabi and walk past him toward Hinata, who was resting next to Kurenai Yuhi.
"What do you want to do?"
Rizu flashed forward and blocked Bai Mo's path.
—Could it be that seeing Hinata's change, he's now setting his sights on Hinata again?
Neji was a step too slow and also blocked Bai Mo's way.
"For Hanabi's sake, give her a reminder."
"remind?"
Seeing that Bai Mo didn't mean it that way, Ri Zu stepped aside, looking somewhat puzzled.
"This reminder actually applies to the vast majority of people."
"When you hear Naruto Uzumaki's passionate encouragement and his unwavering belief in never giving up, don't get carried away."
He is a Jinchūriki; he can unleash power and chakra through emotional outbursts. Can you do that?
If you don't have a bloodline limit that allows you to unleash your emotions, then honestly and seriously assess your own strength and calmly deal with each battle.
Otherwise, the end result will be impotent rage, followed by defeat and death.
He encouraged Hinata just now because he doesn't understand others; he only understands himself.
To put it simply, it's path dependence.
He discovered that he could unleash his full potential through unwavering conviction, and assumed that others could too.
Oh right, and his Uzumaki clan physique, combined with the Nine-Tails' chakra's incredible regenerative abilities, is something you ordinary people can't compare to.
"Hinata, he's right. In that situation just now, if it weren't for Hanabi..."
Hiashi Hyuga strongly agreed with the statement made by Shirai.
If Hanabi hadn't relayed Bai Mo's words and persuaded Neji with her talk-no-jutsu, Hinata would have been beaten half to death by Neji unless he intervened with the Caged Bird Seal to disrupt the match.
As the future heir of the Hyuga clan, he certainly needs to maintain the habit of calm thinking, instead of acting impulsively like Naruto Uzumaki.
But how could Bai Mo, an outsider, know so much about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki...?
What is a Jinchūriki?
"What a Jinchuriki is doesn't matter, buddy. I think you're wrong. Naruto's actions are what youth is all about. We should..."
"Next match: Rock Lee vs. Gaara. Please leave the stage!"
Xiao Li was refuting Bai Mo's point of view when the referee suddenly called his name.
"Sorry, buddy, let's talk about youth after my match."
After bowing to Bai Mo in apology, Xiao Li jumped into the arena.
"Heh, who wants to talk to you about youth..."
Bai Mo's lips twitched.
That's way too familiar.
The match between Rock Lee and Gaara was undoubtedly the most exciting battle of the Chunin Exams for the viewers who came to watch today.
Eight Gates Formation vs. the absolute defense of the Demon Pill Jinchuriki.
Gaara and Rock Lee are both the kind of people who come to the Chunin Exams to bluff their way through.
With the same configuration, the future will be Might Guy vs. Six Paths Madara.
However, unlike the original story, today's competition may have to be suspended.
After removing his weights, Rock Lee moved with incredible speed to confront Gaara's automatically defending sand. Even after using the Front Lotus, he still couldn't defeat Gaara, so he looked towards Might Guy on the stage.
Just as Matt Kai was about to give a thumbs-up to let Li continue opening the door, a voice came from the side.
"Are you really going to agree to let him continue using the Eight Gates? I know a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. I heard that their previous leader was kicked down to just the three of them by a green-skinned old man."
The man was chanting something about "self-discipline" and "swearing to protect those important to me," but it seems it was just a rumor.
Bai Mo's calm tone struck Might Guy's mind like a heavy hammer.
Self-discipline, vowing to protect those who are important to you at all costs.
These were all things his father, Matt Day, told him.
He once asked his father why, having mastered the Eight Gates, he was still willing to be a lowly genin.
His father told him that true victory is not about defeating the strong, but about using that power to protect the most important person in your life.
It's understandable that Xiao Li, being young, might forget for a moment; he himself almost forgot just now in his excitement!
"Yaha!"
Rock Lee, who was waiting for Might Guy's reply below, was kicked away by Guy who suddenly jumped down.
"Teacher Kai?"
Xiao Li covered his face and got up from the ground in a daze.
Gaara on the other side was also very puzzled—what were those two people, one big and one small, doing?
"Li! I know you want to defeat Sasuke, defeat Neji, and prove that a loser can beat a genius, but that's not how you use the Eight Gates! Exercise self-control..."
Kai stepped forward and punched Xiao Li, then burst into tears.
"Self-discipline..."
Rock Lee remembered, hugged Might Guy, and the two began to cry. "I'm sorry, Guy-sensei, I forgot. I shouldn't have broken my self-discipline for the sake of winning the match. Today I'm going back to run three thousand laps around Konoha!"
"The victor is Gaara."
When the referee announced the end of the match, the audience was completely bewildered, and some even began to hurl insults at Rock Lee and Might Guy for trying to stop Lee from continuing the match.
But in response to the insults, the two flashed bright white teeth and gave a thumbs-up to the audience: "Thanks for your support!!!"
Compared to these clueless spectators, Hiashi Hyuga, who sat on the sidelines and witnessed the entire process, was terrified.
—What exactly is Matt Kay's self-discipline?
Even he, a fellow Konoha ninja, didn't know. Judging from the expressions of the others, it seemed that apart from Guy's best friend Kakashi, they didn't know either.
How did Bai Mo, a person from another village, know this?
In addition, Bai Mo knew so much about his younger brother Hizashi's will and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki...
Holy crap! Could there really be a traitor in the village?
"What is self-discipline? Is it related to hard fist?"
Little Firework tugged at Bai Mo's clothes, looking on with curiosity.
What exactly is it that, by simply saying a word to Might Guy, could make him give up the match?
Could this be the essence of Gangquan training?
Just then, Hua Huo was wondering how to achieve the balance between strength and gentleness that Bai Mo had mentioned.
"Children shouldn't ask; this thing requires wearing their special green bodysuit to use."
"Huh? Then I don't want to know!"
Hanabi glanced at the two who had returned to the audience seats and quickly covered her ears.
Although it's impolite, this green bodysuit is really ugly!
