Naruto: Uchiha Survivor Forced to Save the Shinobi World

Hiashi instinctively wanted to shake his head. After all, if these nearly immortal monsters were the test that Akatsuki had set for Neji, then Neji coming to participate would be a death sentence.

Even he, an elite jōnin, was flustered when facing these monsters for the first time.

Neji, who was barely eight years old and still in the shinobi academy, wouldn't be able to handle these creatures at all.

But then he thought about it: the organization behind this test was Akatsuki.

Because of Shinji, the "butterfly," the Akatsuki is now renowned throughout the shinobi world, especially after attacking the Fourth Raikage and successfully capturing the Two-Tails Jinchūriki, Yugito. Akatsuki had almost achieved the same level of fame as the Five Great Shinobi Villages.

Since this was a test designed by them, Hiashi wasn't sure anymore.

At this moment, several Hyuga clan members gathered around Hiashi and reported, "Sir, we've confirmed that there are no others nearby!"

Hiashi nodded gently, letting out a sigh of relief.

In this rugged, rock-filled environment, the Byakugan's scouting ability was far more efficient than the use of ninja dogs or the Parasitic Insects.

One of the Hyuga members asked, "Sir, what do we do now?"

Hiashi was pondering the same question.
