Sitting on the canopy of a tree, Tsunade was puzzled as she looked at the battlefield, “What’s going on? Is Hyuga Neji also planning to participate in the duel?”
Jiraiya was also surprised, and said, “He must have been stimulated by something…” then he stood up and prepared to take action, “I will stop him… at this rate, he will get hurt, and if that happens, it will be more difficult to explain to Hyuga Kuroto.”
Tsunade was about to nod… however before she could, suddenly an explosion of white smoke occurred on the battlefield, and as the smoke cleared, a huge wild boar appeared.
Looking at the humongous wild boar under Neji’s feet, both Tsunade and Jiraiya were rendered speechless.
“That is…” muttered Jiraiya, incredibly surprised.
Although the wild boar was quite a distance away from them, they could still feel the incredible chakra flux around it. From just a single glance, both the Sannin could tell that the Wild boar is no inferior to Garaga and Gamabunta whether they compare by size or strength.
After figuring out things, Tsunade sat back, and hummed in dissatisfaction, “Humph… it seems we underestimated him!”
…
“What? Even Hyuga Neji! Are the children of this generation all monsters?” exclaimed Asuma in shock.
He, an elite Jonin, and the son of Sandaime Hokage is a little depressed now. He lost against Uzumaki Naruto in the assessment. Losing to Naruto was still a bit acceptable, and Asuma excused his defeat with the reason that Naruto is just an exceptional case because he has mastered Senjutsu, has an incredibly powerful Summon, and can also use the Kyuubi’s power, however, today the bubble of his reality was burst twice… one time by Uchiha Sasuke, and the second time by Hyuga Neji.
True, Sasuke and Neji may not be as strong as Naruto, however, the fact that they have such powerful Summons means that defeating them would be a very difficult task even for an elite Jonin like him!
Thinking so, Asuma couldn’t help but pinch himself, trying to wake himself up from this cruel dream, however, the pain kept reminding him that this was all real and not a bad dream.
Similar to Asuma, Might Guy is also taken aback, but unlike Asuma, he isn’t depressed, rather he is curious, and asks, “How come Hyuga Neji acquired such a powerful Summon?”
The source of Sasuke’s summon is clear to all, however, the source of Neji’s summon is a mystery. They hadn’t heard of anyone in Konoha using such a giant wild boar, and Neji should have acquired it from somewhere. But for a child–not even a Genin–to acquire such a summon is rather surprising.
Hearing Guy’s question, everyone got into thinking, but no one had the answer… except for one… Itachi held his chin thoughtfully and muttered, “If I am not wrong… I have seen this wild boar before.”
Hearing Itachi’s thoughts, Shisui asked, “You have?”
Itachi nodded, “Yes… I seem to have seen a very similar wild boar… but…” Recalling that time, Itachi added, “I am not certain if it is the same wild boar… because the wild boar I saw wasn’t this big.”
Kuroto chuckled lightly, “That’s surprising… You still remember that day…?!”
Hearing Kuroto’s words, Itachi immediately widened his eyes and asked, “Kuroto-san… is it the same wild boar?”
Everyone looked at Kuroto, some surprised, some curious. Before Kuroto could say anything, Anko held his shoulders and asked loudly, “Kuroto… is that wild boar your Summon? Why haven’t I heard about it?”
…
On the other side
Looking at the giant figure not too far away, Tenten couldn’t help but ask Rock Lee, “Lee… do you also see what I see… Neji also has such a big Summon?”
The surprise on Lee’s face was no less than that of Tenten, and he nodded blankly, “If you are seeing a giant wild boar, then I am seeing it as well…”
‘Hyuga Neji… how did you manage to get such a summon?’ thought Mika with a frowned expression, as she felt the pulsing heat on her back. For someone who owns a powerful summon, she knows that finding such creatures is not easy, therefore she couldn’t help but wonder. But then she thought of the identity of Neji’s sensei, and realized, ‘It must have been him through Kuroto-sama.’
Standing at the back of the crowd, Kiba couldn’t help but click his tongue in annoyance, “Tch… it’s really unlucky to be born in the same generation as the three of them.”
Shino asked doubtfully, “Why do you think so?”
Kiba replied helplessly, “My clan wants me to fight for the top three positions… but what do they know about my peers? In front of monsters like them, even surviving is more than I can ask for, let alone ranking among the top three!”
Similar thoughts appeared in the minds of other trainees watching the battle.
The children were either comparing the strength of the three Summon, or trying to predict who would win among Naruto, Sasuke, and Neji.
Compared to the sidelines, the atmosphere on the battlefield was a bit solemn.
…
On the battlefield
Naruto, Sasuke, and Neji were standing on the backs of their summons, looking at each other with calm expressions, their eyes moving back and forth waiting for the other parties to make the first move.
A battle between three people is completely different from a battle between two people. When it comes to a battle between two people, the odds of winning are even irrespective of who makes the first move, however, that’s not the case when it comes to a battle between three people. Here, the one who makes the first move will have to fight two enemies at the same time, therefore, the chances of him losing earlier are also higher, and these higher chances greatly affect the flow and outcome of the battle.
Feeling that the situation is troublesome, Gamabunta scolded Sasuke, “Hey kid… haven’t I told you to not summon me unless it’s something really important!?”
Sasuke replied in a deep voice, “This is important, it’s a battle to regain my honor and to prove that I am number one!”
“Uchiha and their stupid honor.” Gamabunta snorted in dissatisfaction but didn’t abandon Sasuke. He carefully observed the giant wild boar on the side, then looked at the red snake under Naruto. The moment Gamabunta saw the red snake, his grip around his Tonto tightened and he muttered in a deep tone of voice, “Encountering him is really unlucky!”
Undoubtedly, Gamabunta recognized Garaga.
Garaga also recognized Gamabunta and said with a malicious smirk, “So, you are the enemy… huh… toad?” Although extremely vigilant, Garaga showed eagerness to fight Gamabunta.
Feeling Garaga’s eagerness, Naruto hurriedly asked, “Garaga… do you know that giant toad?”
Garaga replied, “He is an old enemy.”
Naruto nodded, then he pointed at Buta and asked, “And what about that wild boar? Do you know it?”
Garaga shook his head, “Never seen it… seems to be a dumb wild boar to me…” and added with saliva dripping from his mouth, “I will use it to fill my stomach after I defeat the toad!”
From Garaga’s point of view, the only threat here is Gamabunta. As for the wild boar, it’s just a dumb guy with a big body, a perfect prey that can be dealt with using just a single tail strike.
With such thoughts in his mind… Garaga leaned back slightly and leaped toward Gamabunta.
Whoosh!
