Less a fight than a dance

Uchiha Kurohane flicked his wrist, sending the Fuma Shuriken in his hand flying toward Hyuga Hiashi.

Then his hands raced through hand seals as he used the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique.

One Giant Fuma Shuriken became three, then three became nine.

In an instant, nine Giant Fuma Shuriken flew at Hyuga Hiashi at once.

If those Fuma Shuriken hit, they would slice his body to pieces!

Inoichi Yamanaka and Shikaku Nara both sucked in startled breaths.

"How does he know the Third Hokage's Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique?"

"And the Third Hokage only duplicates small shuriken. He's duplicating Giant Fuma Shuriken! Isn't that even more badass than the Third Hokage?"

"Can Hiashi dodge such a powerful ninjutsu?"

Hyuga Hiashi smiled disdainfully.

"No matter how many you make, they're still just shuriken. What's so impressive about a third-rate ninjutsu like that?"

The Byakugan also offered powerful motion tracking, though it lacked the Sharingan's ability to predict trajectories.

But through grueling daily training, Hyuga Hiashi had learned to roughly predict the paths of projectiles.

With his Gentle Fist as well, projectiles could never hit him!

Timing his move, Hyuga Hiashi leaped sideways, then thrust four palms forward in succession.

Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm, four consecutive strikes!

Hyuga Hiashi dodged five Giant Fuma Shuriken, then effortlessly knocked the other four away.

"That's the long-range Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm! He actually used an offensive move to defend himself and counter the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique. Incredible!"

Beside them, Choza Akimichi had
