Chapter 247 Meeting of Master and Disciple

In Konoha, at Team Guy's training ground, Might Guy is giving Rock Lee a intensive training session, while Tenten is polishing her blades.

Neji, however, sat cross-legged on a nearby boulder, meditating with his eyes closed.

However, upon closer inspection, one can see that with each breath Neji takes, two streams of energy subtly circulate around his body.

One is as gentle as water, the other as fierce as fire.

These two completely opposite energies coexisted harmoniously around Neji.

"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine! Ten thousand!"

After completing his 10,000th frog jump, Xiao Li was able to get rid of the weight on his back!

"Yosh! Double missions done for today! I feel so energized, this is youth!"

"Wow, well done, Li! I can feel your youthful energy. Next time, we can challenge ourselves to double the training missions!"

"Teacher Kai!"

"Little Li!"

The two, one big and one small, who looked like they were cut from the same mold, excitedly hugged each other and shouted about their youth.

"Kai-sensei and Lee, can't you two keep it a little quieter? Don't disturb Neji."

While tidying up the knives, Tian Tian made a couple of comments.

At the same time, she looked in the direction where Neji was and couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.

"Guy-sensei, what kind of ninjutsu is Neji practicing? Did you teach him? Guy-sensei, you can't keep things to yourself! You gave Rock Lee special training and Neji special ninjutsu, you have to teach me something too."

Kai grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth, and gave Tiantian a thumbs up.

"Oh, Tiantian, you've finally come to your senses and want to experience the passion of youth with us?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Tian imagined herself wearing a green bodysuit and sporting a mushroom hairstyle, and immediately felt a chill run down her spine.

"Never mind, I don't like green bodysuits."

"Oh, I see. That's a real shame."

Kai shrugged, but wasn't particularly discouraged. Instead, he explained.

"The ninjutsu Neji is trained in was not taught to him by me, and although the taijutsu he uses is very similar to the taijutsu of the Hyuga clan, I can tell that it is not entirely based on the Hyuga clan's techniques."

Therefore, I guess Neji must have had some other extraordinary encounters, or he might have had other teachers.

"Sigh! Does Neji have any other teachers besides the Hyuga clan and Guy-sensei?"

Tenten was somewhat surprised. She had originally thought that Neji was so strong because he was a genius of the Hyuga clan and had mastered the clan's true teachings.

As an adult, Matt Kai understood this better than Tian Tian and the others.

Even as a member of the branch family, Neji, despite his genius, had access to many things within the Hyuga clan that were beyond his reach.

"Alright, Tenten, Lee, remember this: Neji has his reasons for not wanting to tell us these things. As his teammates, you need to keep his secrets, understand?"

"I understand, Teacher Kai. Keeping a friend's secret—that's what my youth was all about!"

"Not bad, Xiao Li, you're quite perceptive!"

Just as the two were reminiscing about their youth, the two special auras around Neji quietly dissipated, and he stood up from the boulder.

"Teacher Kai, I have to leave for a bit."

"Okay, no problem, you can go ahead and get busy."

"Thank you, Guy-sensei." Neji bowed slightly to Guy to express his gratitude, then turned and disappeared from the three of them in a single leap.

"Wow, that's some impressive explosive power. Can't you use chakra to unleash this kind of speed? Neji is really something else."

"As expected of Neji! In that case, to catch up with Neji, Guy-sensei, I'll start triple my training right now! This is my youth!"

"Well done, Xiao Li! Burn bright, youth!"

Watching the two of them resume their intensive training every day, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"You two are hopeless. The Chunin Exams are in two days. Don't injure yourselves during training and let it affect your exams!"

"I know, don't worry, this is my youth!"

Neji traveled at breakneck speed, his physique enhanced, and with the Tai Chi breathing technique tailored for him by Tetsuya, Neji's strength had surpassed that of many in Konoha.

The speed generated solely by physical force is enough to catch up with the Body Flicker Technique used by some ninjas.

After a few dashes, Neji arrived in front of a villa.

"Hey, junior brother, I just sent you a message not long ago and you're already here. You're pretty quick."

Before Neji could even knock, someone opened the door to welcome him.

The person who greeted Neji was none other than Neji's senior apprentice, Nohara Rin.

"Senior sister, it's been a long time! I rushed over as soon as I received your message. Has Master come to Konoha yet?"

“That’s right, not only Master, but also the other two senior brothers and sisters you’ve been wanting to see are here. Come in.”

"The other two senior brothers and sisters?!"

Neji was somewhat surprised. He had only heard about his other senior brothers and sisters before, and had never met them in person. He never expected that he would finally have the opportunity to meet them today.

"Senior sister, who are the other two people? Is it okay for me to meet them like this?"

As he spoke, Neji straightened his clothes. He was wearing training clothes because he had just been training.

Having grown up in a family with many rules and strict etiquette, Neji still values ​​certain rules quite a bit.

He was going to meet two senior brothers and sisters he had never met before, but he was dressed like this, which made him a little nervous.

"Well, it's alright. Although it's my first time meeting them too, don't be too nervous. Think about what kind of person our master is. Would the disciples he teaches be the kind of people who care about these trivial details?"

Neji recalled Tetsuya's usual behavior and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Haha, what Senior Sister said makes sense, then I'm relieved."

"Let's go."

Rin led Neji into the villa, across the yard, and into the living room.

As soon as I entered, I heard several people chatting.

"Master, senior brothers and sisters, junior brother has arrived."

"Yo Neji, you're here. Long time no see, you've grown quite a bit taller."

Tetsuya greeted Neji, who was following behind Rin, and then introduced them.

"Come here, let me introduce you. These are the senior brothers and sisters you've been curious about."

This is your senior apprentice, Yahiko. Like you, he excels in taijutsu, but he is also skilled in water-style ninjutsu.

Yahiko greeted Neji.

"Hello, junior brother. I am your senior brother Yahiko. I have heard our teacher mention that you have good taijutsu talent and you are also studying with Might Guy from Konoha. We can exchange ideas sometime."

"Hello, Senior Brother Yahiko."

Looking at Yahiko's warm smile, Neji felt incredibly relaxed. As expected, Rin-senpai was right; his senior brother was indeed a good person.

"Alright, this is your senior sister Konan. She has a special ninjutsu ability called Paper Release and is skilled in explosions. She is also a well-known rich girl. If you need pocket money, you can contact your senior sister Konan."

"No, is that how you introduce someone, master?"

Konan glared at Tetsuya with displeasure, then took out a red envelope from her sleeve and handed it to Neji.

"Nice to meet you. This is a small token of our appreciation from your two senior brothers and me."
