"What was that? The clan head actually..." Hyuga Aoba could hardly believe it.
The Hyuga Clan's strength was greatly affected without activating the Byakugan, but Kakashi had not used any special moves. Hyuga Hiashi should not have lost in such a basic taijutsu clash.
"As expected of a genius who fought the Seven Ninja Swordsmen on the battlefield. Hiashi was too careless this time." Mimura Hamaki watched the battlefield and thought.
The head of the mighty Hyuga Clan being suppressed in taijutsu by a ten-year-old chūnin—no one would believe it if word got out. It sounded far too absurd.
Use the Gentle Fist. Smack Kakashi hard across the face. Obito silently cheered Hyuga Hiashi on.
He hoped the Hyuga Clan's head would display the formidable strength of a clan leader and thoroughly beat Kakashi up.
As though he had heard Obito's thoughts, Hyuga Hiashi gathered Chakra in his eyes. After activating the Byakugan, veins instantly bulged around his eyes, and his entire aura changed.
Once might have been an accident, but after several exchanges, Hyuga Hiashi understood that Kakashi was no simple opponent. If he did not activate his Byakugan, the one who lost his ability to fight early might not be the examinee, but him, the examiner.
What surprised Hyuga Hiashi, however, was that even after activating the Byakugan, he still could not do anything to Kakashi with ordinary taijutsu. Kakashi was like an old ninja who had fought countless battles, accurately predicting every one of Hyuga Hiashi's attacks.
Hyuga Hiashi's Byakugan had also seen through Kakashi's movements, and the two fell into a stalemate.
At this point, Hyuga Hiashi had already given Kakashi full marks for taijutsu in his heart. Kakashi's performance was even better than that of Hyuga Aoba, who possessed the Byakugan. That was truly rare.
