"Even if he had grown stronger, could Hyuga Neji really defeat every member of the Branch Family?"
In everyone's eyes,
Hyuga Neji was practically a dead man already. The conditions offered by the Main Family were enough to tempt the Branch Family: the qualification to learn three secret techniques of the Hyuga Clan!
"The match begins!"
As the Branch Family's leader spoke, the arena fell silent. Everyone covertly turned their eyes toward Hyuga Neji, only to see him step onto one of the platforms without the slightest hesitation, a longbow slung across his back.
"A longbow?"
Seeing the bow on Neji's back, Hyuga Liuhuo stepped onto the platform and sneered,
"As a member of the Hyuga Clan, instead of thinking about how to improve your Gentle Fist, you've turned to these crooked and unorthodox methods. Hyuga Neji, I'll be the one to crush your reputation as a genius today!"
He was three years older than Hyuga Neji.
But unfortunately, when they had fought for the first time, Neji had already mastered the Eight Trigrams Sixteen Palms and thoroughly defeated him!
At the thought of that, a trace of anger surfaced in Hyuga Liuhuo's eyes.
But this time, having mastered the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms under the clan head's instruction, he would definitely defeat Hyuga Neji!
On the high platform,
Hyuga Hiashi calmly sipped his tea. Yet when he looked at the longbow behind Hyuga Neji, his eyes held the same disdain and contempt. Only the Gentle Fist was truly suited to the Byakugan.
It seemed
Hyuga Neji had chosen the wrong path.
And Uchiha Akira was the one who had led him to his doom!
"Then come!"
Hyuga Neji's expression remained calm, but with the speed of a Draw Slash, he grabbed the longbow behind his back with one hand
