Naruto: Dual-Pupil Uchiha

"Uzumaki Naruto. I'm coming for you!"

The white-haired man watched as Genya and the others left, but his gaze remained fixed on Uzumaki Naruto, who still looked out of place among the crowd. A smile slowly formed on his lips.

This time, he would make the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki trained by Konoha betray the village.

At the same time, he planned to use Naruto's escape to obtain the Scroll of Seals he had long desired.

Why should he be an ordinary person while the strong are always from great clans?

If he could get the Scroll of Seals, he could learn the forbidden jutsu inside and become strong too.

After all, Minato Namikaze and Orochimaru didn't have special Kekkei Genkai, yet they gained power comparable to Kage-level by mastering the forbidden jutsu in the scroll.

Just wait.

When he becomes stronger, those ninja clan kids won't dare boss him around. He must get stronger—stronger!

With that thought, Mizuki slowly faded into the shadows. Right now, there were too many people around Naruto. He would wait for a better chance.

Time passed, and night came quickly.

Hyuga Neji finished his day's training and headed home.

Today, his mother said she had prepared something delicious for him, so he ended training early and was ready to return just as the sky darkened.

In the entire Hyuga clan, his mother was the only person closest to him. Without her, he would never return to the clan at all.

"Hyūga Neji."

Just as he entered the Hyūga clan grounds, the young man with bandages wrapped around his arm blocked his way.

Behind the boy, several other ninjas from the Hyūga clan followed.

But among them were members of both the main branch and the branch family.

"Hyūga Sōsuke?" Neji frowned as he looked at the one stopping him. His pale eyes darkened with seriousness.

Earlier that day, Genya had just hurt him, and now this guy was blocking his path again?

Neji knew exactly what was going on.

Sōsuke realized he couldn't get at Genya or Hinata, so he came to bother Neji instead.

What a bunch of pests!

Just as Neji expected, Sōsuke looked at him with eyes almost rolling upwards.

"Neji, do you know why I came to see you?"

"Got bullied, afraid to get revenge on Genya, so you come to pick on me instead!" Neji said coldly, tearing off the excuse they hid behind.

If it weren't for the Caged Bird seal that kept him in check, Sōsuke wouldn't dare cause trouble for him.

"Heh, looks like you're pretty smart. Yeah, blame your close ties with Uchiha Genya for this trouble. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gotten caught in this mess!" Sōsuke sneered and waved his hand.

"If you want to blame someone, blame Uchiha Genya. Now, get him!"

As soon as his words fell, the men behind Sōsuke nodded and charged at Neji.

They were ready to beat him up badly.

Watching them rush forward, Neji stood still and sneered.

"This is just a warning for Uchiha Genya. He humiliated me, and I will take it all back — every last bit."

Speaking of later, Hyuga Sōsuke's white eyes were filled with hatred. That hatred was for Uchiha Genya.

Today, Uchiha Genya had humiliated him so badly — one day, he would get his revenge!

No... not just get revenge, he would make the entire Uchiha clan pay the price!

"A useless fool who only knows how to oppress his own clan member, and still dares to pick a fight with Genya? How ridiculous!" Hyuga Neji sneered.

Neji knew how terrifying Genya was. In Neji's eyes, Genya's strength had even surpassed the level of a Kage. And yet, this useless Hyuga before him actually wanted to challenge Genya?

Laughable!

Mocking him, Neji looked at the clansmen charging at him. He formed the initial stance of the Eight Trigrams Palms.

With a casual swing,

A strong gust of wind swept through, and the few charging were instantly blown back more than ten meters. Some weaker ones even coughed up blood.

Neji had gone easy on them. If not, with their strength, they would have been crippled by now!

They were too weak!

"Neji, you actually dare to resist? Looks like you're tired of living!" Hyuga Sōsuke tightened his grip, forming hand seals with his uninjured hand, activating his mental energy while muttering something under his breath.

Suddenly —

Neji felt the cursed seal on his forehead begin to swell.

Then, an extreme pain started tormenting his soul, so intense he couldn't help but clutch his head, collapsing to one knee!

The intense agony from his soul almost made it impossible for him to use any power!

What a cruel ability!

Even though Neji had trained in the Spirit Transformation Technique, which could strengthen his soul and mental power, he still couldn't withstand the Caged Bird Curse Seal when others activated it.

What a cruel ability!

How ridiculous.

A clan that uses such a vicious curse seal even against their own members—what right do they have to exist in the ninja world?

What right does such a clan have to survive?

Heh.

"Neji, you're nothing but a servant of the Hyuga clan, yet you dare to resist!" Hyuga Sosuke looked down at the half-kneeling Neji, feeling incredibly pleased and arrogantly said, "Keep resisting, then! Keep resisting!"

As he spoke, forming hand seals, he stepped forward and kicked Neji to the ground. His tone was mocking: "Hit him! Today, I'll beat him until he submits!"

At Sosuke's command, the others charged in!

They unleashed all their anger from earlier, punching and kicking Neji while he lay on the ground!

Even those from the branch family didn't hold back against Neji!

Within just a few breaths, Neji's clothes were torn to shreds, but relying on years of physical training, he endured.

Throughout it all, he tightly protected his face. Torn clothes could be explained to his mother as from training, but if his face was injured, she would worry!

And so, Neji collapsed to the ground, silent.

In truth, the pain of the body couldn't compare to even a fraction of the pain of the soul— not one percent, let alone ten.

Those from the main family probably had never experienced the kind of pain that comes from the soul.

One day, sooner or later, he would make them feel it too—this pain from deep within.

"Are you convinced now?"

Hyūga Sōsuke felt a rush of satisfaction. Looking down at Neji curled up on the ground, he said with pleasure, "Now you know. This is what happens when you cross me. Hmph, next time you mess with me, it won't just be you who gets beaten. Your mother lives with you, right?"

"Heh. When your father killed himself back then, why didn't your mother go with him?"

"If you cross me again, your whole family... will be punished!"

A sudden chill ran through his body.

He looked down instinctively—

Neji, who had been beaten and surrounded, had opened his eyes without anyone noticing.

Those cold, white eyes stared back at him, icy and filled with deadly intent.
