Hokage: I Neji will never go offline

"If I admit it correctly, you are the genius of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Itachi, right?"

Uchiha Itachi paused while eating the dumplings, looked up at Neji, and continued eating.

"If you want to prove something, don't waste your efforts. At least you are no match for me now. Are all of you Hyuga clan members so arrogant? Even a brat like you has come here."

Uchiha Itachi's tone was very impatient, and his words were more tactful, but the meaning was still very obvious, that is: "I'm not interested in a brat like you, get out of here!"

Neji shrugged, bought a few skewers of dumplings, sat across from Itachi Uchiha, and started eating too.

"I'm not here to learn from you, I just want to get to know you, an Uchiha genius."

"My name is Itachi Uchiha, what's your name?"

"Hyuuga Neji."

Uchiha Itachi just put the last dango into his mouth, stood up and walked out of the dango shop.

"Then we know each other, is there anything else?"

"Hey, don't leave in such a hurry,"

Neji quickly caught up with Uchiha Itachi, but Uchiha Itachi had no intention of stopping.

"I promised Sasuke today that I would go back to accompany him as soon as possible. If there is nothing else, I would stop following me."

"Damn it, you are such a bastard brother, you are so cold to me, and the result is because you want to go back to accompany your brother? Well, come and duel with me!"

Uchiha Itachi stopped and looked at Neji with his bright red Sharingan.

"I told you, I'm not interested in a brat like you."

"Stop talking nonsense! Bagua Kongzhang!"

Without saying a word, Ningji threw a Bagua Itachi at Uchiha Itachi, but Uchiha Itachi did not dodge. The moment the empty palm hit Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Itachi's body suddenly exploded and turned into a flock of crows flying.

Up to the sky.

Without hesitation, Neji took out a kunai and pierced his thigh. The severe pain caused Neji to break away from the genjutsu. At this time, Uchiha Itachi's hand had already arrived in front of Neji.

Neji immediately jumped away and ran towards the deserted woods. Uchiha Itachi showed a hint of surprise and followed closely.

As soon as he reached a deserted place, Neji immediately turned around and threw the card towards Uchiha Itachi who was chasing him.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

As soon as the card was released, it immediately turned into a huge fireball and hit Uchiha Itachi. Upon seeing this, Uchiha Itachi immediately formed a seal and spit out a fireball of about the same size from his mouth.

"Bang!"

The two fireballs collided together and sparks flew everywhere, but Uchiha Itachi was still forming the seal. After completing the seal, he spit out several basketball-sized fireballs from his mouth and hit Neji in different paths.

"Fire Release·Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!"

"Tu Escape·Tu Lu Returns!"

Neji threw a card in front of him, and a huge stone slab with a height of nearly three meters and a thickness of nearly half a meter rose up from the ground and stood in front of Neji, blocking all the fireballs.

Uchiha Itachi landed on the top of the stone slab, and Neji subconsciously raised his head, but when he saw Uchiha Itachi looking down at him with his Sharingan, Neji quickly looked away.

"How can you fight if you can't even look your opponent in the eye?"

Uchiha Itachi's voice came from behind Neji. Neji didn't even look back, he picked it up and threw a card to where he just stood.

"Thunder Escape·Earth Walk!"

The electric light visible to the naked eye spread rapidly on the ground, and Uchiha Itachi, who originally wanted to attack Neji, jumped away at the same time.

"My Byakugan has a field of vision close to 360 degrees. Why would I risk looking into your Sharingan?"

"It seems that you have done a lot of homework before this, but you are too naive if you think you can win just like this! Fire Release: Fireball Technique!"

Uchiha Itachi formed a seal in the air and spit out a fireball at Neji. Neji threw two cards in succession towards the fireball.

The first card turned into a transparent impact and dispersed the fireball. When the second card came around Uchiha Itachi, it suddenly glowed and unfolded into a too fast pattern that enveloped Uchiha Itachi.

"One hundred and twenty-eight Bagua palms!"

A translucent shadow that looked exactly like Ningji quickly struck out at Uchiha Itachi and then disappeared. Uchiha Itachi fell to the ground and staggered a few times.

Neji felt happy, but just when Neji thought he had won, Uchiha Itachi's body suddenly turned into a flock of crows and flew away, and at the same time he felt a chill on his neck.

The next moment, the picture in front of Neji's eyes began to distort. Neji found that he was back behind the stone slab made by Tsuchi Rikui, and Uchiha Itachi had put a kunai on Neji's neck.

Neji's hands and feet suddenly felt cold, a feeling he had never experienced before even when fighting Orochimaru.

"Illusion? When exactly is it?"

"The moment you subconsciously raised your head and saw my eyes, you were very strong. If you were the same age, you could definitely defeat me easily. Unfortunately, you are still too young now."

Uchiha Itachi took back the kunai, and the expression on his face was no longer so cold. Even though Neji knew from the beginning that Uchiha Itachi would not kill Neji, Neji's heartbeat has not calmed down until now.

"He is worthy of being the number one genius in Uchiha. He is so powerful in both ninjutsu and illusion."

Uchiha Itachi smiled bitterly, as if he was laughing at himself.

"Is it so strange that the Uchiha clan can use fire escape? On the contrary, you, the Hyuga clan, which is famous for its taijutsu, actually know fire escape, earth escape, and thunder escape. And from the beginning to the end, I have never seen you.

After the sealing, even after using so many ninjutsu, your small amount of chakra was reduced by less than one tenth."

No matter how Uchiha Itachi's words sounded, he was praising Ningji, but the more he listened, the more Neji felt that Uchiha Itachi was a terrible person.

"You guys are exaggerating, aren't you? You can still notice so many details in such a short battle? You're not that old now, are you?"

"I? I am ten years old this year."

"You guy, I'm not asking about your age, and I also know that you are ten years old this year."

Neji muttered something to himself, Uchiha Itachi didn't seem to hear clearly what Neji was saying, and moved slightly closer to Neji.

"What did you say?"

"No, it's nothing! Damn, can you please don't come over suddenly? I'm scared."

Uchiha Itachi tilted his head and looked at Neji doubtfully.

"Why? Afraid of me? Didn't you say you wanted to challenge me at the beginning?"

Uchiha Itachi didn't say it was okay, but immediately got angry when he mentioned Neji.

"You still have the nerve to say that I said I wanted to be friends with you at the beginning, but you were so cold as if I owed you a lot of money. If I hadn't mentioned the duel, you would have already arrived home by now.
