Chapter 26 - Fighting Hyuga Neji

**[Host encounters Hyuga Neji again. Please choose:

1. Ignore him and walk away;

2. Provoke him and challenge him to a duel on the field;

3. Taunt him and run away]**

Originally, Sasuke was walking toward the school gate with Naruto, but in the hallway, he ran into Hyuga Neji, who was also getting out of class at that time.

That's when the system popped up again, prompting Sasuke to make a choice.

"Hyuga Neji, I'll be waiting for you on the training field!"

Sasuke would never choose to run away. As for ignoring him…

The guy was already standing right there. Ignoring him would basically be the same as running away!

As a Uchiha, he was starting to understand why the original Sasuke always ended up getting beaten up.

He kept encountering opponents who were much stronger than him, and yet he couldn't bring himself to back down—even if it was just to preserve the Uchiha name.

[Host chose Option 2: Provoked and challenged on the field. Reward: Basic Taijutsu Enhancer +1]

The reward was another Taijutsu enhancer. As he turned and headed toward the training field, Sasuke quietly used it on the spot.

This body's physical aptitude wasn't exactly bad—it was an Uchiha body, after all.

But the system's earlier explanation had really annoyed him. Just because he was a shut-in in his previous life, he now had to start from scratch in everything.

No wonder Itachi had been so utterly disappointed in him earlier. With this kind of physical potential, even Sasuke himself felt like he deserved to be looked down on.

"Uchiha Sasuke, you can't win."

Hyuga Neji had been provoked, so he couldn't just refuse to show up. But when he followed Sasuke to the training field, he still couldn't help wanting to make things clear to this weak little Uchiha junior—he wasn't someone who could be dealt with after just two days of training.

"Hyuga Neji, you're not that much stronger than me either!"

Sasuke took a ready stance, prepared to at least make this white-eyed guy suffer a little before getting knocked down.

He had the Hyuga bloodline. He had the Byakugan's visual perspective.

But as for the Hyuga clan's jutsu—Sasuke didn't know any of them.

And even if he could learn them, he couldn't use them.

Still, he could clearly observe Hyuga Neji's movement style.

Studying it for future use wasn't a bad idea either.

Based on the pattern of system rewards so far, Sasuke was pretty sure:

aside from forbidden techniques, he'd have to learn everything else on his own.

"A weakling is still a weakling. Even if you've got the guts to challenge me now, it just means you're about to get beaten up again!"

Neji's Byakugan activated instantly.

He raised his hand and struck at Sasuke with a powerful palm thrust.

He didn't want to keep wasting words with this Uchiha brat.

Last time, after beating him up, he ran into Lady Hinata being bullied on the way home. He had helped chase the others off back then.

Even though he never expected any gratitude, what he couldn't accept was getting scolded as soon as he got home—

and all because he'd hit Uchiha Sasuke.

For the sake of the Hyuga clan, he had been ordered not to harm Uchiha Sasuke again. But...

As soon as he saw Sasuke's face and expression, Hyuga Neji realized he just couldn't hold himself back.

If he didn't beat this guy up again, he felt like he'd be letting himself down.

"That's not necessarily true!"

At the very moment Neji made a move, Sasuke jumped back to avoid the strike,

already calculating how he could land a couple hits on this guy without the ANBU observers thinking anything was off.

"You won't be able to dodge forever!"

Neji continued his assault.

He knew full well he'd be reprimanded or punished once he got home, but even so—

Uchiha Sasuke still had to get another beating.

This bastard, so ridiculously weak—

why the hell did he get to act so arrogant?!

"I hate the Byakugan!"

As Neji closed in, Sasuke suddenly delivered a side kick.

As Neji dodged, Sasuke slipped around behind him and raised his hand to strike.

Byakugan's field of vision?

He was targeting that

very field of vision on purpose!
