The other Konoha spectators watching the battle were stunned as well.

This time, it was no longer the "little trick" from last time, using lightning-nature Chakra to create paralysis and disrupt the opponent.

This time,

it was an overwhelming display of speed and ocular power!

Just now, when Neji attacked Hinata,

Hinata had used her greater speed to strike his opening.

Then, using the power of the Byakugan, she had struck Neji's acupoints and dispersed his Chakra.

After that, she had sent Neji flying with a direct blow.

This showed that Hinata's speed and ocular power were both far superior to Neji's!

If Hinata had not held back,

Neji probably would not have lasted even one round against her!

"So strong!"

Neji felt his faith collapse.

How could a Dead Last possibly become an elite stronger than him in just a few days?

"No... No way!"

Neji gritted his teeth and charged forward again.

However, this time was the same as last time.

Neji could not last even ten moves against Hinata!

No matter how he used the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, he could not hit Hinata.

That was because her speed and eyesight were simply too powerful!

This made Neji feel that her strength even surpassed Might Guy's!

"How can this be?

How can this be!?"

The more Neji fought, the more flustered he became.

In the end, Hinata sent him flying with another palm strike.

"Neji, you're no match for me."

Hinata took a deep breath, then lowered her fist.

At that moment, she felt incredibly confident.

She had done it!

"I succeeded in changing myself...

Thank you.

Bai Hao-kun..."

Hinata silently thanked him in her heart.

Only then did she continue speaking to Neji: "You should forfeit."

Looking at Hinata,

Neji felt deeply frustrated.

As an elite, he was now being utterly crushed by a Dead Last.

It was a terrible feeling.

But no matter how unpleasant it was,

this was still the truth.

He could not change it.

"Lady Hinata,

why have your speed and ocular power improved so much?"

Neji asked the question he most wanted answered.

"Could it be

that it's all because of Bai Hao's special training?"

"Huh?"

Hinata's face flushed when she heard that.

Then she shook her head repeatedly.

Although she did not know whether she should keep this matter hidden,

Bai Hao had not said that she had to conceal it.

However, in her view,

since Bai Hao had chosen not to continue being a ninja,

she could not let him be disturbed because of this.

Thus,

she decisively lied again.

"No!

It's not!

You're talking nonsense!

I became stronger through my own training!"

Everyone: "..."

That statement...

If not for her eyes, they really would not have been able to tell that she was lying.

"Is that so?"

Neji gave a bitter laugh. "So having a good master really can change one's fate~

I forfeit!"

With Neji's forfeit,

the arena fell quiet for a moment.

Everyone was pondering Hinata's sudden increase in strength and Bai Hao's true power.

Except for one person...

"Yay! Yay!"

Naruto laughed foolishly. "I knew it! As long as you work hard, you'll become stronger!

One day, I'll defeat Bai Hao first!

Then I'll defeat Sasuke!

And finally, I'll become Hokage!

Hahaha!"

Kakashi's eye twitched from the side.

Then he sighed silently.

The Chunin examination continued.

However, Bai Hao did not continue watching through the Telescopic Jutsu.

"Hinata really is...

terrible at lying~"

Bai Hao could not help sighing.

Although he had not participated in the Chunin exam,

he had been spying on it with the Telescopic Jutsu the entire time.

He was in the bookstore, where he was invincible.

Even if Kaguya Otsutsuki were resurrected, she still would not be able to detect him spying with the Telescopic Jutsu.

Therefore,

he spied without the slightest restraint.

Not only had he seen all the matches, he had also witnessed Orochimaru's secret contact with Kabuto.

Orochimaru had verbally tested Kabuto.

In the end, he discovered that Kabuto had not betrayed him.

This made Orochimaru even more puzzled and curious about the organization Karin belonged to.

However, Bai Hao did not care about those matters.

Orochimaru and the like did not concern him.

"Overall, the Plot Points I've obtained so far are pretty good."

Bai Hao had changed many major plot points.

Those major plot points had, in turn, caused quite a few minor plot changes.

However,

the main plot of this world had not changed at all.

This was the self-repairing power of "fate."

Everything was predestined.

Although the process would sometimes change,

the result would never change!

And as someone who had altered the fates of others,

he would suffer backlash from "fate."

This time, Hinata's explosive increase in strength had caused part of his own power to be exposed.

That was one form of backlash from "fate."

In the future, he would continually be manipulated by "fate"

and subjected to attacks from various powerful figures.

His strength would also be exposed bit by bit.

However,

he was not worried about these minor issues.

As long as his strength increased quickly enough, these problems would no longer be problems.

Besides,

he had just drawn the Sage Body reward not long ago!

With the Rinnegan and the Sage Body,

he was basically invincible already.

"Izumi's card is ready.
