Chapter 110.2 : Neji's Luck!

This is the second time he has entered the list. Not long ago, he continued to improve his strength, and finally, in terms of Byakugan, he barely entered the last few places on the Eye Technique List.

Unfortunately, the rewards for the last few were mediocre, and there was not much to improve their strength.

Henceforth, his fervent desire was to swiftly enhance his prowess. Without doubt, he lagged behind the current strength of others.

Once a frontrunner upon graduation, now he found himself outstripped by the likes of Naruto and Sasuke, reaching heights he couldn't fathom.

Thus, opting for the Body Tempering Pill this time might merely tether him to Jōnin-level might. Who knew how long it would take to ascend to Kage-tier prowess?

"I choose the Q&A card!" declared Hyuga Neji.

[Uzumaki Naruto: Neji went for the Q&A card! What a gamble!]

[Hyuga Hizashi: I respect Neji's decision. Getting it right could yield incredible rewards; worth a shot.]

[Tsunade: But beware, wrong answers come with penalties!]

[Hyuga Hiashi: Neji's luck shouldn't fail him here!]

[Hyūga Hinata: Go for it, Neji!]

[Fourth Raikage: Neji, reaching such heights, yet risking it all with the Q&A card? Better off with the Body Tempering Pill. It can still boost your strength considerably, though not to Kage levels, but certainly top-tier Jōnin.]

[Terumi Mei: Take the chance, Neji! Sometimes, risks are worth it. The Body Tempering Pill isn't that significant a loss. Imagine if it were something rare like Thunder Fruit!]

[Fourth Raikage: Are you implying something, Fifth Mizukage?]

[Terumi Mei: Just speaking my mind, Fourth Raikage. Don't take it to heart.]

[Fourth Raikage: Humph!]

With resolve, Hyuga Neji opted for the Q&A card.

The card designated two Questioners, and soon the first was revealed.

[The first questioner: Hyūga Hinata]

[Uzumaki Naruto: Wow, Hinata gets to ask the first question!]

[Uzumaki Kushina: Just as expected of my future daughter-in-law. Fate has three of our family as Questioner.]

[Fourth Raikage: Lucky break! Hinata's question must be a breeze!]

[Terumi Mei: A freebie for the first Question. Looks like Neji might just get one right and evade punishment.]

[Uchiha Madara: Good luck, lad!]

[Senju Hashirama: Konoha's luck shines again! Neji, aim for two correct answers and claim splendid treasures!]

"What's a fitting question?" Hinata pondered, then posed her query.

[Hyūga Hinata: Who is my favorite person?]

[Uzumaki Kushina: Naturally, my daughter-in-law's favorite person is Naruto, my son!]

[Tsunade: A straightforward question!]

[Fourth Hokage: Quite simple; everyone knows the answer!]

[Hyuga Neji: Hinata's favorite person is Uzumaki Naruto]

Before long, the results were revealed.

[Congratulations to Hyuga Neji for the correct answer!)

Seeing this outcome, Neji let out a sigh of relief.

"I got one question right. Now, there's just one more to go. I hope that individual doesn't make a fool of me," Neji thought with anticipation.

Soon, the identity of the second questioner was announced.

[The second questioner is Yasao)

[Garaga: Oh, it's Master as the second Questioner!"

[Kumoko: The Master is the second Questioner!)

[Beerus: I wonder if the Master will embarrass this Hyuga Neji?)

[Hyuga Hizashi: Lord Yasao, please give Neji a chance to pose a simple question."

[Tsunade: Lord Yasao, I implore you to ask a straightforward question on behalf of Konoha!)

Yasao paid no heed to the chatter in the live broadcast room; he was engrossed in studying the masks around him.

"Deduction system, analyze this mask for me!" Yasao commanded.

This was a rare opportunity to study the Golden List up close, and this particular mask was directed at him, offering optimal research material.

While the deduction system couldn't decipher the entire Golden List, there was hope for understanding this one.

Thus, Yasao didn't rush to ask the question. Instead, he delayed as much as possible, attempting to stretch the time until the very last second.

Each passing second seemed like an eternity. Others couldn't reach Yasao, and he couldn't reach them either.

Kumoko, Honghong, Yaya, and the rest waited cautiously outside the mask, refraining from making any aggressive moves.

Eventually, the deduction system's analysis was nearing completion. Yasao struck with precision, but without shattering the mask.

Yet, the mask quivered, emitting a potent anti-shock force. However, Yasao's Sage Art promptly nullified this counterforce.

Repeatedly attacking and testing the resilience of the light leather, Yasao pushed forward, delving deeper into the deductions provided by the deduction system. With each strike and counter, the clarity of the deduction system's output sharpened.

In the final moments, Yasao nonchalantly posed a question

[Yasao: Who will hold the title of Seventh Hokage in Konoha?]

[Tsunade: Thank you, Lord Yasao!]

[Fourth Raikage: He even adds a follow-up question. The Gold List already informed him that Naruto is the Seventh Hokage. Yasao's conduct reflects well upon Konoha; it's commendable!]

[Nagato: Given Yasao's strength, he needn't have bothered, yet he did. Admirable.]

[One Tail: I envy Neji; effortlessly answering two questions and on the verge of a remarkable reward.]

[Hyuga Neji: Thank you, Lord Yasao, thank you immensely!]

Neji brimmed with excitement, surprised at how easily he had answered the question.

Yet, Yasao remained focused on scrutinizing the Gold List's capabilities, paying no heed to the accolades.
