Kill or Not Kill?

"What a terrifying technique to hide his aura. He is clearly standing on Kakashi's back, but as long as he doesn't use his eyes to look, he won't be able to feel his existence at all. Two and a half years later, just how much has his strength improved?"

Guy pointed at Kakashi's back, but his heart was unprecedentedly heavy. Although he had not stopped cultivating for more than two years, he still had no confidence in facing the person behind Kakashi.

"What?" Kakashi turned his head, and his face changed greatly. His Sharingan contracted. Ryoha had been standing behind him for so long, but he couldn't feel it at all. If not for Guy telling him, he wouldn't have found it.

"I only came here to take Neji's life. It has nothing to do with you. If you don't want to be involved, stand aside." Ryoha's voice was very calm, but there was unquestionable anger in his tone.

"It is normal to get injured or die in battle. Since she is a ninja, she should be prepared for this. Moreover, that was Hinata's initiative to go for the battle. No one forced her. Moreover, Neji has already paid the price for what he did. He almost died."

Tenten said in a sharp voice. Lee also stood in front of Neji.

"Almost died? That means he didn't die." Ryoha's eyes flashed with a strange light, but he didn't stop. Step by step, he walked towards Neji. Every step he took was like stepping on the heart of everyone.

"Ryoha, Neji is a member of our Konoha village. I will never let you hurt him. Although I was very angry when he injured Hinata because of the matter between the main family and the branch family, Neji had already figured it out and personally apologized. There is nothing wrong with Hinata now."

The twelve rookies often carried out missions together, and their relationship was very strong, so Naruto also stood out.

"Apologize? Is it useful to say that?" Ryoha sneered. If someone hadn't stopped him at that time, no one would have paid attention to her death, let alone the Hyuga clan.

"Neji didn't say that. Look for yourself." Naruto walked over and took off Neji's shirt despite his obstruction. The first thing he saw was a scar on his chest. Ryoha narrowed his eyes.

Although the stronger the people in this world, the more terrifying their bodies would be, generally speaking (Hidan was an exception), if their hearts were stabbed, then they would undoubtedly die.

Ryoha used Byakugan's ability to observe the wound. It was self-inflicted. This was the "apology" Naruto was talking about.

"You don't need to say it, I will see it myself." Ryoha opened his Sharingan and looked straight into Lee's heart.

It could be said that the people who would not lie here were only Lee, Naruto, and Guy. And Lee, who was in the same class, should have seen what happened with his own eyes. As long as Lee saw it with his own eyes, there was no way he could lie in his heart.

Lee wanted to know what Ryoha wanted to do. He did not resist and allowed Ryoha to use the ability of the Sharingan. The images appeared in front of Ryoha one by one after he left Konoha.

Neji had recovered. Guy's, Kurenai's, and Kakashi's team joined forces to carry out an S -rank mission. This was to give the new generation experience and see the difficulty of the S-rank mission. With the three Jonins around, along with the explosive power of the eight rookies, they would be fine.

Not long after leaving Konoha, Neji ignored Lee and Tenten's plead to stop what he was going to do. Under the gaze of Kurenai, Guy, Kakashi, and other rookies, he walked to the front of Hinata. He knelt down and sincerely apologized to her, saying that he would not be able to make up for his mistakes even if he died many times.

He didn't need Hinata to do anything, nor did he need Ryoha to come to find him. He would repay what he owed himself. After saying all this, Neji took out a handful of Kunai and stabbed it into his heart. Ryoha could tell that Neji wasn't acting.

Because the force of his stab could definitely pierce through the entire heart at that time. How much courage did it take? Originally, Neji was certain to die because this sudden attack was something no one had expected. At the moment Kunai pierced the body, Lee, who had the fastest reaction, kicked them off.

But it was still too late. Because his heart was still stabbed by the kunais, Neji maintained his kneeling posture. Blood kept flowing out. Even if Lee kicked the kunais away and reduced the damage, it still stabbed Neji's heart. Fortunately, Neji was strong enough to live for more than ten seconds.

Originally, he would be dead for sure, but fortunately, Sakura was there. At that time, her medical ninjutsu was not as strong as it was now, but she managed to stabilize Neji's condition. Then, Guy opened his Inner Gates and increased his speed to the maximum to bring Neji back to Konoha. In other words, if Sakura wasn't here, Neji would already be dead and wouldn't be able to return to Konoha in time.

After spending a huge amount of manpower and resources, they managed to save Neji's life. However, he had been recuperating for a long time. After that time, Lee was always close to him, worried that he was committing suicide. During that time, Neji did try to commit suicide several times, but Lee was able to stop him.

Even Kurenai, who was very dissatisfied with Neji, didn't say anything. In the end, she said that she wasn't blaming Neji anymore before he stopped. However, Neji still made a vow. As long as he needed him to do something, he wouldn't frown, even if he had to die. He would do his best to fulfill his promise.

Ryoha saw the whole thing clearly. Ryoha remembered that when he had seen Kurenai and Hinata a few times before, they had been a little hesitant. Obviously, they didn't know what to say. Obviously, they were worried that Ryoha would be unhappy if they said it. They thought that they were helping Neji, so they kept silent.

"Now I don't even know if I can kill him." Ryoha was a little indecisive. Neji's so-called debt had really been repaid. He had almost thrown himself into the embrace of death many times for real.

Because Neji's heart had been destroyed after several times of his suicide attempts. His current heart was transplanted by the Hospital Head using medical ninjutsu. If this was called acting, Ryoha really did not know what a real suicide was.

This kind of pain was more painful than death. After a person fails to commit suicide, they would often have a greater fear of death. They wouldn't dare to commit suicide again. However, Neji had tried to commit suicide many times. How much determination and courage did this require?

If Lee had not been close to him, and Hinata hadn't stepped forward to forgive him, even Lee would not have been able to stop the Neji's attempts to kill himself. After all, he was not even afraid of death. What was there to be afraid of?
