Chapter 51 Rewards and Punishments

"The bell doesn't exist at all. You used illusions on us from the beginning to make us think that the bell does exist!"

Kakashi told the truth of the matter in one breath. Although he seemed to find the truth easily, this was just an afterthought. Kakashi mentally re-evaluated Neji's strength.

He didn't expect that he had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan. Although he didn't turn on the Mangekyō all the time, his mastery of illusions had improved several steps compared to before, but he still didn't notice that Neji had used illusions.

Even with his current strength and illusion skills, if Neji hadn't reminded him that there was no bell at all, he still wouldn't have been able to discover the truth of the matter. Neji's strength surprised Kakashi every time, and his speed of improvement completely exceeded Kakashi's. My imagination seems to have no upper limit, and I can always maintain the same speed of progress, or even progress faster and faster, which is simply contrary to common sense.

"Illusion, how is it possible!" Sasuke didn't want to believe that he had actually fallen under Neji's illusion from beginning to end.

Even if Sasuke has never been out of the village, he knows that the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is called the eye of illusion and the eye of replication. The Uchiha clan is best at illusion and fire ninjutsu. On the contrary, although the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is listed as one of the three major pupil techniques like the Sharingan, the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is more commonly known as the eye of detection. Therefore, the Hyuga clan is best at reconnaissance and physical skills. Uchi The Bo clan has always dominated the Hyuga clan and is the most famous wealthy clan in Konoha.

But today, Sasuke, the orphan of the Uchiha clan, was confused by the illusion of the Hyuga clan. He didn't respond at all. He simply lost the glory of the Uchiha clan. Sasuke clenched his hands hard and lowered his proud head. His nails were already pierced. It reached the palm of his hand, but this physical pain still couldn't offset the intense pain caused by Sasuke's inner unwillingness and weakness. Looking from a distance, Sasuke seemed a little colder.

"Sasuke!" Haruno Sakura was always paying attention to Sasuke's reaction. Seeing Sasuke's appearance, she understood that Sasuke's self-confidence had been hit, which made her a little worried. The Sasuke just now gave her the feeling that he was leaving her. But she also understood that she was unable to comfort the injured Sasuke at all, because the strength of Hyuga Neji in front of her had exceeded Haruno Sakura's imagination. She really didn't understand that Neji with such a strong strength really only graduated for one year. Why are you still a genin now? Are all real ninjas so powerful?

"Ah, it turns out it's an illusion. It turns out that illusion is like this!" Among the people present, only Uzumaki Naruto's self-confidence was not affected. The reason is very simple. Naruto himself is a very nervous person, and as a The last person in the ninja school, his theoretical knowledge is in a mess, he has not listened carefully to the theory class at all, he has no understanding of genjutsu, and he is completely unaware of how terrifying Neji's genjutsu is. The genjutsu was full of curiosity, and his expression of satisfaction that he had finally seen it made Neji couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Sure enough, fear comes from the unknown, but more from the known. It's just like if a person knows what a ghost is, he will naturally be afraid when he encounters a ghost. If he doesn't know what a ghost is, he won't make a fuss even if he sees a ghost, but will be curious.

"Then I now declare that as the loser of the exercise, Uzumaki Naruto will be punished."

"Hey, is there any punishment?"

"You didn't say that at the beginning!" Naruto was already very disappointed that he had not become a genin. He didn't expect that he would have to accept punishment. He immediately protested dissatisfiedly, venting his frustration with bared teeth and claws, looking displeased. Acceptance.

"I'm just going to teach you a truth recognized by the ninja world. Only those who are strong can speak with weight, while those who are weak have no human rights!"

Neji completely ignored Naruto's noise, reached out and tapped Naruto twice, sealing his nerves and chakra, and took out the rope he had prepared and tied Naruto to the tree trunk.

"The losers will be punished, so as those who passed the exercise, you will naturally be rewarded!"

Neji opened his seal scroll, took out the sumptuous lunch he had prepared, and placed it in front of Naruto.

"As compensation for not having breakfast, this is the lunch I carefully prepared for you. Please enjoy it as you like, but there is only one requirement, that is, you cannot feed it to Naruto, otherwise you will also be eliminated!"

Neji looked at Naruto who was tied to the tree and swallowed furiously. He turned to Sasuke and Sakura and warned them that they would never be allowed to go beyond the rules they set, otherwise they would wait to be eliminated.

"Kakashi-senpai, the test is over, so let's go out for a drink together, and come back in the afternoon to put Naruto down!" Neji stretched his waist, with a relaxed expression that it was finally over, and invited Kakashi to have a little time with him. Have a drink and relax.

"Thank you for your hard work. Wait a minute and I'll explain." Kakashi accepted Neji's invitation.

"Sasuke, Sakura, you must not feed bento to Naruto. This is an order from your superiors. Ninja must obey the order. If you can't do it, then we will call him a waste." Kakashi stared at Sasuke seriously. and Sakura, the serious atmosphere made Sasuke and Sakura couldn't help but nod.

"Very good, Neji, let's go!" Seeing Sasuke and Sakura nodding obediently, Kakashi praised them with satisfaction and asked Neji to leave together.

"Swipe!" Neji and Kakashi used the teleportation technique to disappear in front of Sasuke and Sakura.

"We're finally gone, Sasuke. Look, the bento is very rich!"

"Well, it's delicious. I didn't expect Neji-senpai to have such good cooking skills. When I watched him eat in the morning, I felt like I wanted to taste his bento!" Sakura took a bite of the rice ball, and the sweet and sour taste of the plums was absorbed into it. The fragrance of the rice, the texture and taste were so good, Sakura quickly picked up another chopstick of tempura and put it into her mouth, the salty and crispy texture filled her mouth.

Seeing how delicious Sakura was eating, Sasuke also began to enjoy the food. Although Sasuke remained silent, his constantly extending chopsticks and chewing mouth also showed the deliciousness of the bento. In fact, Sasuke, who lives alone, often needs to cook by himself, but Sasuke really has no talent in this area. The food he cooked only served to satisfy his hunger. Sasuke never cared about the taste and texture.

"Goooooo!" A series of hungry sounds came from the side. Sasuke and Sakura were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and then looked up at Naruto.

Naruto blushed and closed his eyes, a little afraid to face Sasuke and Sakura, it was too embarrassing.

Sasuke and Sakura lowered their heads in silence again, carefully eating their bento, but the sighs in their mouths were no longer there, and the wooden chopsticks in their hands seemed to be a lot heavier, which made the two of them pick up food significantly less frequently. .

"This bento is too much, I can't eat it." Sasuke stood up from the ground and said calmly that he was full.
