Without anyone noticing, Sasuke pulled Neji into the illusion space with a glance. The next second, a plop sounded, and Neji was startled by the sudden illusion. In the illusion space, a figure did not stand firmly and sat on the ground.
"Where is this? Sasuke, you are here too, no, is this an illusion?" Neji observed the unfamiliar environment in front of him, touched his buttocks, stood up, and asked Sasuke.
"Don't worry, this is my special illusion space. I have something to tell you. It's not convenient outside."
At this time, Sasuke looked unfathomable, which made Neji a little at a loss. Neji was surprised by Sasuke's talent, amazed that Sasuke's attainments in illusion were so high. His physical skills, illusions, and ninjutsu were all at the level of elite ninjas.
Neji asked Sasuke in a low voice, "What is the matter?"
Sasuke slowly floated into the air and said lightly, "Do you... want to become stronger? You should also know that there are too many constraints and shackles in this village."
After listening, Neji took a step back, looking a little depressed. Sasuke continued, "The village's top leaders are already corrupt. They only care about their own interests and don't care about our lives at all."
Neji frowned slightly. He knew that what Sasuke said made sense, but he was still hesitant to betray the village. Neji's father was killed by Konoha's high-ranking officials.
When Neji was young, Kumogakure sent people to capture Hinata. Later, Kumogakure turned the tables and asked Konoha to hand over Hiashi Hyuga. Because of the cowardice and indecision of the village's high-ranking officials, they decided to let Hizashi Hyuga, Neji's father, take the blame.
Neji witnessed his father's death. The rigid rules of the Hyuga clan, with the main family and branch family, only added to the resentment. The branch family is born to be implanted with the Caged Bird Seal, limiting their strength and making them slaves to the main family with no dignity.
"Orochimaru and I have already planned it. Orochimaru will carry out the Konoha collapse plan with the Sand Village during the Chunin Exam and threaten the village to hand us over," Sasuke's eyes revealed a trace of determination and a faint smile.
"Rebel ninja Orochimaru? Konoha collapse plan? Aren't you afraid that I will tell others about this?" Neji hesitated.
"Of course I'm not afraid because I think you've also had the idea of betraying the village."
After saying that, Sasuke flew high into the sky and summoned Susanoo. Sasuke looked down at the tiny Neji. Neji was silent for a moment, feeling Sasuke's god-like attitude, and finally said, "Okay, I can go with you, but you have to guarantee our safety."
Neji wanted to become stronger and change the village and the clan at this moment. Sasuke smiled and nodded, knowing that Neji had made a decision.
"But... the Caged Bird Seal on my head will be a big trouble. Do you have any way to deal with it? I am always at risk of being killed by Hiashi." Neji took off the forehead protector that covered the Caged Bird Seal on his forehead.
The Caged Bird Seal not only limits strength but also puts the bearer at risk of being killed at any time. If the main family recites a spell, the branch family member will suffer excruciating pain or even sudden death. This is why the branch family still serves the main family despite being humiliated.
Sasuke thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, I will let Orochimaru study the Caged Bird Seal. The Konoha collapse plan will be held during the final match of the Chunin Exam in about a month."
Neji nodded, believing what Sasuke said.
"Then, we have to prepare well next." Sasuke said, landing and releasing Susanoo, extending his hand. Neji looked at Sasuke's hand, slightly stunned, and then also extended his hand.
Neji originally believed that everyone's fate was predetermined and no matter how hard he tried, he would not change the ending. But seeing Sasuke's powerful strength, he felt that he could change everything!
Back to reality.
"What? Neji is leaving! Why are you still standing there?" Tenten said with some confusion.
"Well~ I'm fine, I was distracted just now, just thinking about something." Neji said and chased after his team.
Watching the figure of Team Guy gradually disappearing, Kakashi suddenly came to Sasuke and his group with a pornographic book in his hand. Kakashi looked at the cracks and holes on the ground that still had traces of lightning chakra and felt the familiar chakra that had gone far away. He sighed in his heart: Sasuke, the power of Lightning Release is so strong. It would be difficult for me to do it.
"Hey, what are you still doing here? The exam is about to start, why don't you gather?"
"Okay, Kakashi-sensei!"
"I'm leaving first, hurry up." After saying that, Sasuke left in an instant. But Sasuke did not go directly to the examination hall; instead, he came to Orochimaru. Orochimaru's hoarse voice came.
"Sasuke, what's the matter?"
"Can you help me crack the Caged Bird Seal before the Konoha collapse plan is launched?"
Orochimaru said with interest, "Caged Bird Seal? It seems that you have found another person to bring over."
"Hehe... I want to bring Hyuga Neji out as well. He is a child with great potential, but the Caged Bird Seal has always restricted his upper limit."
"It will take me some time to master the Caged Bird Seal technique, but not much. Give me seven days, and I can study it thoroughly."
"The sooner, the better."
Orochimaru has not yet completely integrated the memories of his previous life and has not mastered a lot of knowledge, but he also understands it. It takes less than a week to thoroughly study a sealing technique that is not particularly advanced.
Sakura and Naruto ran all the way and quickly arrived at the hall of the Chunin Exam. It was crowded with ninjas from various villages.
"Huh, huh, it looks like we finally arrived, so tired." Sakura panted.
At this time, Sasuke came over.
"Sasuke! Can't you wait for us? You ran too fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye!" Naruto said angrily to Sasuke.
Soon, 9 of the 12 Konoha Genin gathered together.
At this time, Kabuto Yakushi came over. Sasuke used his mind to send a message to Kabuto: "Why are you here too? The Konoha collapse plan is just a show."
Kabuto responded with his mind: "Hahaha, you want to find the feeling of your last life, aren't you always pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger?"
Sasuke didn't say anything else.
Kabuto quickly got along with everyone with his kind smile.
"Senior Kabuto, you have participated in the Chunin exam so many times and failed. Is the Chunin exam difficult?" Choji asked curiously, eating the potato chips in his hand.
"Well, it's not that easy to pass the Chunin Exam."
"Besides, every year's exam can kill people!"
"Although I didn't pass the exam, I was lucky to survive."
