Bang!
Neji hadn't reacted—elder slammed him back.
No real damage, but resentment surged.
"Neji! What're you doing?! Attacking the clan son-in-law for no reason—nonsense!"
"…"
Ye Wu Di frowned, then—as Neji boiled—
Stretched out, stopping the elder's rant.
"Elder, Neji had reason—don't blame him."
"Wu Di?"
Neji's hate faded to complex—only he truly cared.
Unlike the hypocritical, selfish main house scum…
Elder? Thrilled for the out.
He'd ordered the attack too.
Smooth cover? Perfect.
"Since Wu Di says so, today's done…"
Slap!
Mid-sentence—Body Flicker! Ye Wu Di before Neji.
Slapped him—full force!
Nani?!
Elder jaw-dropped.
Even Hiashi—hidden watcher—head: giant ?
Kid brain-dead?
Why make enemies?!
He and Neji were tight!
Why now…?
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning 666 points of negative emotions from Neji!
Huh? Only 666? Come on—999!
Bro, weak sauce!
Gotta crank the heat!
No hesitation—slap two!
"Wu Di, you…"
Slap!
"…"
Neji? Totally lost.
Did nothing—why endless slaps?!
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning 666 points of negative emotions from Neji!
Still no 999? Ye Wu Di sighed.
Faked fury, barked:
"Why listen to others? I said ages ago—you're my little bro!"
"Big bro rule: bad mood? Vent on me! Don't wuss out like a girl!"
"Wait—no, insulting my Hinata? Worse than a girl!"
"…"
Neji blinked—then smiled.
Playing bad guy—to vent main house hate!
He gets me best!
"Little bro talk? You've said since kids—but I never agreed…"
Slap!
Mid-thanks—another mystery slap!
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning 666 points of negative emotions from Neji!
"First slap: wussy no-attack!"
"Second: pissed me off!"
"Third: forgot you're my bro!"
Ye Wu Di unleashed diluted chakra—body glowed.
Blasted forward—faces inches apart.
"Boss gives you Byakugan + jutsu shot!"
Voice darkened:
"Don't make me despise you. All fate-rage—hit me."
"Show power? I'll break your Caged Bird! No more Uncle Hizashi tragedies!"
"But…"
Neji hesitated.
Regretted spilling dad + seal to Ye Wu Di.
Wouldn't go this far…
Ye Wu Di shook head—passing—kicked Neji ten steps back.
"Think Byakugan + jutsu hurts me?"
Bang!
Diluted chakra erupted.
Feeling the waves—glancing at Hiashi/elder—
Neji's eyes closed. Deep thought.
Caged Bird?
Dad…
If he fixes my fate—even berserk, call him boss?
Worth it!
Hiashi/elder watch—Wu Di's safe.
"Fine—bring it!"
Eyes bulged.
Byakugan instant—veins snarled, flames roared!
Heart-fire?
Yes.
Ruthless!
Main house hate!
That damn seal!
No seal—Dad lives! No Hiashi sacrifice!
"FIGHT!"
Neji blanked—terrifying speed at Ye Wu Di!
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning 999 points of negative emotions from Neji Hyuga!
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning…
Bliss!
999 spam from Neji?
Ye Wu Di ecstatic.
Periodic therapy sessions—thousands per!
All-nighter? Ten thousand!
Too sweet!
"Bad!"
Elder panicked—rushed to help.
But Ye Wu Di smirked.
Hiashi appeared—blocked elder.
"Wait."
"Wait?! Hiashi—Neji's genin-level, stronger than normal!"
"Wu Di's speed holds special jonin pace—tires chunin for sneak attack!"
"But…"
Elder frothing—nearly slapped Hiashi aside!
Shisui's Flicker—if Wu Di hurt in Hyuga?
Refuses to teach? Huge loss!
"Head-on? Kid's done vs berserk Neji! He's insane!"
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning 999 points of negative emotions from Hyuga Elder!
Hiashi? Calm, countered:
"Elder—forgot that commoner guy?"
"That guy…"
