Chapter 636 Neji's Death

Naruto knew Yamanaka Ino very well; he had memorized the size of his lover's finger so that the ring would fit perfectly.

He then handed another ring to Ino, took her hand, and guided her to slip the ring onto her ring finger.

"You have to wear it too, then we'll be husband and wife."

Ino's hands moved clumsily a few times, and finally the ring slipped on.

"Very well, newlyweds, congratulations on your marriage..."

Kakashi stood to the side, cleared his throat, opened the booklet, and was about to announce that the two were married.

Suddenly, the sky split open!

A black crack appeared in the sky above Konoha Village, as if a pair of giant hands were tearing open the shell of Konoha.

Naruto suddenly looked up and instinctively shielded Ino behind him.

Sasuke appeared beside him at almost the same time, his Kusanagi sword already drawn, his Sharingan activated to its maximum.

Kakashi closed the booklet, his expression shifting from gentle to sharp.

"Everyone, stand back!"

As the crescent moon grew larger, a black void was reflected before everyone, and from within the crack, a figure slowly descended.

The young man wore a light blue bathrobe, his skin was as white and tender as jade, and he was handsome. His soft, silvery-white hair fluttered as he landed.

But those white eyes were proof enough that he was a member of the Hyuga clan.

Everyone was surprised, because only three members of the Hyuga clan of Konoha remained; the rest had all died, and there couldn't possibly be any members of the Hyuga clan outside.

"How could this be..." Hinata covered her mouth in surprise.

Just then, Otsutsuki Toneri's gaze swept across the wedding venue as if he were looking at a group of ants, and finally he fixed his gaze on Hinata Hyuga in the crowd.

"Found it." Otsutsuki Toneri said coldly, without a trace of warmth.

He flashed to Hinata's side, and Hinata's body froze instantly, her feet seemingly nailed to the ground, unable to take a single step.

"Otsutsuki..." Hyuga Neji finally felt the oppressive aura emanating from Otsutsuki Toneri and uttered the Otsutsuki surname.

But his body was far more honest than his mind. Instinctively, he dodged in front of Hinata Hyuga and threw a heavy punch. However, Hinata simply raised her hand and caught his punch firmly. Then, she twisted her palm and twisted it hard, and a sound of bones breaking could be heard.

Hyuga Neji's expression twisted, but he still didn't give up. He swung a backhand palm strike, which did hit him, but as a member of the Otsutsuki clan, and with the insect drug catalyzing it, how could the chakra harm him?

"Boring!" Otsutsuki Toneri slapped Neji across the face, sending him flying. Neji crashed heavily into a wall, his ribs shattered, and his white tuxedo instantly stained with blood.

Tenten lunged forward and quickly hugged Neji, crying, "Neji, please be alright!"

Just then, someone shouted, "Hinata, fight back!"

Hinata then instinctively threw a punch, which was firmly caught by Toneri Otsutsuki.

But the ending was completely different from Neji's. Otsutsuki Toneri pulled her into his arms with a strong pull.

He tightened his grip on Hinata's waist, pulling her into a tight embrace. "Stop fooling around!"

Hinata blushed and was just about to retaliate with her elbow when her opponent grabbed her hand and gently applied pressure to her abdomen, sealing her dantian. This not only blocked her chakra but also rendered her unable to resist.

Hinata lay there, limp and powerless, letting the other person hold her in their arms.

"Who are you? Let go of Hinata!" Lee reacted just as quickly, rushing forward and delivering a sweeping kick to Toneri Otsutsuki.

Otsutsuki Toneri still managed to grab him firmly with a raised hand, then flung him away with force, sending him flying a great distance, crashing through several houses before finally stopping.

He sent the man flying, not forgetting to say, "Toneri, Otsutsuki Toneri."

Before he finished speaking, his figure vanished, and he reappeared in front of the stunned Hanabi.

Hanabi looked up, her body instinctively gripped by fear, and she froze on the spot. She had never experienced any war, nor any real battle.

Because Konoha was already destroyed before she even went to the battlefield.

This caused her to hesitate, and in those few seconds, her eyes were instantly drawn to someone.

"Ah..." The pain made her scream, and she collapsed to the ground, clutching her bleeding eye socket.

"firework!"

Everyone gasped in shock as Naruto flashed behind Toneri Otsutsuki. "You are utterly unforgivable!"

Naruto roared in anger, and was about to smash a heavy punch into Toneri's head, but was unexpectedly repelled by a powerful repulsive force.

Hinata, nestled in his arms, struggled. "Little sister, why are you targeting us like this?"

She used all her strength to try to break free from his restraints, but the seal had left her body weak.

"Stop fooling around. You will eventually become my wife, fulfilling your mission of continuing the Otsutsuki bloodline. And your sister's eyes are just the right size for awakening."

As Otsutsuki Toneri spoke, he once again raised his hand to deflect Uchiha Sasuke, who had flashed over to prepare for a sneak attack.

He then took a step and disappeared into the spatial rift once more.

Naruto got up again and instinctively wanted to chase after her, but Ino, who was trembling all over, grabbed his clothes. She was clearly frightened by the sudden attack.

Kakashi Hatake, who could have caught up with them, ultimately decided against it after much deliberation, because he had to protect the people of Konoha.

This time, the other party only took a pair of eyes and kidnapped Hinata; they probably won't harm her, since Otsutsuki Toneri only wants Hinata as his wife. It's not a big deal; it might even give Konoha another ally.

The second one who could flash after her was naturally Tenten; her Flying Thunder God Technique could also traverse space and even bring people along to chase after her.

But now her hands are glowing, healing the severely injured and collapsed Hyuga Neji. He no longer cares about anyone else.

"Neji, don't scare me!" Tenten cried, her voice trembling with tears streaming down her face. "We were supposed to have our wedding soon!"

"Tenten, young lady... and Hanabi..." Neji Hyuga's pupils began to dilate halfway through his sentence.

"No, no!" Tian Tian screamed loudly.

Sakura stepped onto the path, saying, "Make way, let me handle this."

"We absolutely have to save Sakura!"

"I tried my best!" Sakura frowned, using all the methods she had learned in her life, but it was as if fate was playing a cruel joke on them.

Neji Hyuga's headband began to slip off, and the cursed seal of the Caged Bird Seal was dissipating at a visible speed.

The last bird trapped in the cage was finally freed from its shackles at this moment.

Tenten cried out again, "No, Neji, don't leave me! Neji!"
