Naruto: Reborn as Neji Hyuga After Dying in One Piece-Chapter 45. Congratulations, Your Surgery Was a Success!

◉◉◉◉◉

[Byakugan]

Activate.

In an instant, Neji's field of vision expanded into a god-like panorama of 360 degrees of omnidirectional awareness with zero blind spots.

Unlike the Sharingan's tunnel vision, the Byakugan was more like a personal minimap hack. And its zoom was absurd anything within a kilometer was laid bare in crystal clarity.

Compared to the three-tomoe Sharingan, the Byakugan utterly outclassed it in utility and strategic function.

Sure, it didn't have the eye candy drama of the Mangekyo. But statistically? The Byakugan was the most cost-effective dojutsu out there.

Of course, no one talked about how the Byakugan just skipped the middle tier entirely and evolved straight into the god tier [Tenseigan].

Anyway, enough ranting.

Neji scanned the island Land of Waves and quickly identified several cave networks suitable for his base of operations.

He deactivated the Byakugan, stood up, and glanced at the two unconscious figures floating in their regeneration tanks.

"Come on," he said to Izumi. "I've found the right location."

"Understood."

The two of them, still dressed in their Mist ANBU hunter uniforms, slipped out quietly. They kept the disguises better safe than sorry.

The regeneration tanks had been pumped with sedatives. Neither Zabuza nor Haku would be waking up anytime soon.

Soon, they arrived at a new site. Neji weaved hand signs.

[Mud Transmutation Technique]

---

Three days later... frёewebnoѵēl.com

Ninja. Master assassins. Tactical prodigies.

...Also? The most busted construction workers are alive.

With one hand turning rock into mud and the other solidifying earth into fortified walls, Neji singlehandedly built a fully functional underground base.

If Hashirama was the OG architect with his [Wood Release], then Neji was the rogue cultivator using jutsu like [Earth Palace: Mud Conversion] to build a freakin' ninja man-cave.

The new base was complete.

Zabuza and Haku, who had been through multiple nutrient cycles, were now "marinated" to perfection.

Time to open the cans.

Neji turned to Izumi. "Step outside for now. I've got this part."

She nodded. Two unconscious bodies, both male it wouldn't be proper.

Neji cracked his knuckles.

Two oversized syringes appeared in his hands nightmare fuel for kids and adults alike.

[Estrogen Hormone]

He looked at Haku.

Soft skin. Delicate features. Honestly? A crime that he wasn't already a girl.

Oh wait—he had cross-dressed before. This would just make it official.

With surgical precision, Neji injected the hormone into Haku's bloodstream.

A few moments later, Neji cleared his throat and respectfully helped dress her in a sterile gown.

He looked away. Any longer and it wouldn't be "clinical."

Haku, now fully transitioned, was... breathtaking. Neji quietly applauded his own work.

Then... he turned to Zabuza.

And grimaced.

Grey skin. Dead eyes. No eyebrows. Covered in battle scars, some fresh, some decades old.

The man looked like a stitched-together war relic.

"...Yeah. You definitely need this more than anyone."

Neji jabbed the second [Estrogen Hormone] into Zabuza's neck.

The transformation that followed?

Aggressive.

Mature tissue responded faster, so the changes were... pronounced.

Neji had to quickly slap a gown on her before it got out of hand.

He snapped his fingers.

"What the f—"

Izumi entered.

She paused.

Blink.

Then blinked again.

Just to be sure, she opened the [First Gate] with a brief burst of chakra just to confirm she wasn't in a genjutsu.

Nope. This was real.

"...They... they're girls now?!"

"You're not hallucinating," Neji replied coolly. "I simply restructured their physiology. Full conversion. No traces of male anatomy are left. Completely natural."

Izumi stared, speechless. She opened her mouth, then closed it.

Her gaze was somewhere between baffled... and impressed.

"How long before they wake up?"

Neji folded his arms. "Any moment now."

Right on cue, the two stirred. Eyelids fluttered. Bodies twitched. Minds are foggy and uncoordinated.

Perfectly normal.

After all, they'd literally died.

Rebooting a brain took time.

Memory flashes surged through their minds.

Zabuza: The clash with Kakashi. His final moments. The Mist hunter-nin.

Haku: Naruto's words. "Her" sacrifice. That piercing pain through her chest.

"I..."

"I..."

They blinked, taking in the unfamiliar ceiling. Their thoughts were sluggish, but the realization was setting in.

Then they noticed the two figures standing above them.

Neji and Izumi masked, emotionless, observing like surgeons.

Neji smiled behind his mask.

"Well," he said, voice casual, "congratulations."

"You're alive."

"...And the surgery was a success."

It took another second.

Then they looked down.

Realization hit like a Rasengan to [Obito]

They were...

Women.
