Hinata felt that Neji was getting a bit boring.
When Neji was a child, he would blush whenever he saw himself, but now Neji is very serious, just like a little adult.
Hmph! They've all been poisoned by the Hyuga Clan's rules.
I reckon when Neji grows up, he'll be just like Hyuga Hiashi and Hizashi Hyuga, always with a stern face, as if someone owes him money and won't pay it back.
Hinata set herself a small goal... to make sure Neji lives to adulthood!
The battle off the field continued.
The first round of the competition was basically designed to eliminate some weaker players. Most people were instantly defeated, and even the slightly stronger ones couldn't last more than a few rounds.
It's a bit boring.
Can't you see that Kakashi is completely engrossed in the story of "Icha Icha Paradise" right now?
However, Hinata's fun never lies on the field. Hinata looked around and continued to look for a target to tease.
Ultimately... it fell on the Third Hokage.
The Third awkwardly turned his face away, not daring to meet Hinata's gaze.
However, Hinata doesn't dare to offend the Third right now, since he still has a month left in power.
I must do my best on my last shift.
The first round of the competition ended quickly, with half of the 32 participants eliminated, leaving only 16.
Gaara's team all advanced, the Sound Ninja eliminated one female ninja, and among the Konoha 12, only Sakura was eliminated.
Hinata and Ino even comforted Sakura.
Sakura is now following Kurenai Yuhi down the path of Genjutsu, but the combat power of a beginner in Genjutsu is not particularly high, not to mention that Sakura's opponent is Temari from the Sand Village.
Gekko Hayate said calmly, "Now we begin the second round of the Preliminary Selection..."
Glancing at the screen on the wall, Gekko Hayate announced, "Hinata Hyuga versus Zaku Stirrup!"
Hinata secretly gave the Third Hokage a thumbs up in her heart, showing him respect.
Hinata worried that if she were assigned to fight Neji, it would be bad if her own clan turned on each other.
Hinata was about to jump over the railing, Zaku on the other side suddenly raised his hand and said, "I... I surrender!"
Zaku was quite self-aware; he had seen Hinata.
Judging from that Mountain Breaker, Hinata and he are probably ninjas of the same style, both attacking their opponents with chakra shockwaves.
However, the two have different attack strengths.
It's like firecrackers and grenades.
In particular, don't be fooled by Hinata's cute appearance and gentle, weak demeanor; she may seem like an easy target for bullying.
In reality, Hinata is extremely cruel, and the scenes are very bloody.
Although giving up the match would definitely mean being abandoned by Orochimaru, being abandoned by Orochimaru might still offer a chance of survival, but fighting Hinata would be a certain death.
Hinata nodded in satisfaction. This one is very well-behaved.
He must have been too cute to hit me.
From the very beginning of the exam, Hinata felt that she was weak but very beautiful.
I make a living based on my looks!
The true essence of having exceptional looks is being able to make your opponent admit defeat simply by showing your face.
My Otsutsuki Hinata... is the most beautiful ninja in the entire Shinobi World!
"Since Zaku Rinpoche conceded, the winner of the first match is— Hinata Hyuga!"
"Ahem!" Gekko Hayate remained calm and composed, his expression unchanged, and said indifferently, "Then the second match... Naruto Uzumaki versus Kiba Inuzuka!"
"It's finally my turn!"
Naruto shouted and jumped downstairs, pointing at Kiba Inuzuka and yelling, "You defeated opponent, come down here!"
That's right, Naruto gave Kiba Inuzuka a good beating in the Forest of Death.
Kiba Inuzuka jumped down carrying Akamaru; his Taijutsu was also quite impressive.
"Naruto, it was just a moment of carelessness on my part. If it weren't for Hinata's influence, do you think I wouldn't be able to beat you?"
Hinata: Is it because of my good looks?
Naruto scoffed, "Only the weak make excuses for their failures."
Kiba was a little stunned. Could Naruto, with his intelligence, really say something so cool?
In fact, this match was destined from the very beginning; Kiba was absolutely no match for Naruto.
At this time, Naruto was much stronger than he was at the same level in the Original Story, and he had not yet been sealed with the Five Elements Seal by Orochimaru, so using ninjutsu was not particularly difficult for him.
More importantly, Kiba Inuzuka is the kind of ninja with very little chakra.
Naruto inherited the Uzumaki Clan's immense life force and chakra, and also possesses the power of the Nine-Tails. Even if Naruto stood still and let Kiba beat him, it's hard to say who would be the one who collapsed from exhaustion in the end.
Actually, Hinata has recently made a new discovery regarding the amount of chakra.
Even when she was young, Hinata had far more chakra than her peers.
At first, Hinata always thought that it was because of her Talent Cheat that her chakra level increased so rapidly.
Even before graduating, Hinata's chakra reserves had already surpassed those of Hyuga Hiashi.
At that time, Hinata didn't really realize it.
However, recently, Hinata has noticed that her chakra levels are increasing at an increasingly rapid pace.
Hinata had a suspicion.
The only way to awaken the Tenseigan, besides fusing it with a large number of Byakugan, is to fuse it with a pure Byakugan and the bloodline of the Otsutsuki.
It's like how Madara Uchiha fused with the Hashirama Cells to awaken the Rinnegan.
Hinata's eyes were obtained through a wish.
Based on this argument, Hinata should have the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan.
And now, it should be the stage of bloodline awakening.
Hinata had thought of this beforehand, which is why she dared to confidently say that she would be able to defeat Hyuga Hiashi soon.
Although it's unknown how long it will take to Tenseigan, the increase in chakra will undoubtedly make Hinata more suitable for prolonged battles, exhausting those with insufficient chakra.
For example... Itachi Uchiha!
Defeating Itachi Uchiha was a task that Hyuga Hiashi gave to Hinata when Hinata five years old.
Hinata agreed without really understanding what was going on.
According to official data, Itachi Uchiha's 'spirit' stat is actually lower than Kakashi's.
Lost in thought, the match off the field had already been decided.
Naruto Uzumaki defeated Kiba Inuzuka for the second time, winning the match.
In this way, Hinata and Naruto from Team 7 can both advance to the Third Exam.
Sasuke a lot of pressure.
Naruto trotted up to Sasuke, beaming with pride, and said, "Sasuke, Hinata and I have both advanced successfully. Don't embarrass Team 7! I really want to spar with you!"
Sasuke snorted and turned his head away, but his eyes remained fixed on the screen hanging on the wall.
Having witnessed Gaara's strength, Sasuke knew that there were several monsters in this match that he couldn't defeat in his current state.
Furthermore, Hinata's cousin is also a source of concern.
The names on the screen flashed back and forth before finally stopping.
"Neji Hyuga VS Shino Aburame!"
Hinata walked over to Neji and whispered a reminder, "Brother Neji, you have to be careful!"
Neji, but after hearing Hinata's words, his heart grew heavy.
Could this Shino Aburame be very strong?
