Chapter 291: Ch.291 Saved for Last!
The students, after searching around, had just found this grove when they saw Neji flying out of the trees like a kite with its string cut.
"Is... is that Neji?"
"How'd he get flung so far?"
"He's not dead, is he?"
The students stood there, jaws dropped, utterly dumbfounded.
This morning, though Sasuke had lost, the details weren't clear, so the impact hadn't hit them too hard. But now, witnessing a genius from the prestigious Hyuga Clan with the Byakugan get blasted out and crash to the ground, uncertain if he was even alive, the shock finally sank in.
Tenten and Lee hurriedly pushed through the crowd and rushed toward Neji.
Propping up Neji from the ground, Tenten asked anxiously, "Neji, are you okay?"
Struggling, Neji managed, "I... I lost..."
Before he could finish, his strength gave out, his vision went black, and he passed out.
Taking a direct hit from 'Chakra Enhanced Strength' without any warning—forget a shinobi academy student like Neji; even a grown shinobi wouldn't have withstood it.
