Neji appeared in front of Naruto.
He thrust both palms forward, aiming for the pressure points in Naruto's shoulders and chest.
If they struck, Naruto's Chakra would be sealed.
The match would be decided then and there.
"Wind Release: Cloud-Piercing Wings!"
Naruto didn't retreat.
A fierce wind gathered behind him.
Translucent wings of wind blades spread in an instant!
Whoosh!
Naruto's speed surged.
Neji's palms brushed past his clothes and missed!
The next moment, Naruto shot into the air.
"So fast!"
Neji looked up, surprise finally flickering in his eyes.
With his wind wings spread, Naruto arced through the sky like an eagle in full flight.
He was even faster than Neji's bursts of speed on the ground.

Neji had no way to use Gentle Fist at range yet.
With Naruto airborne, all he could do was watch.
"Is this the new Ninjutsu you learned?"
Neji stood on the ground, looking up at Naruto.
"It really is powerful."
Naruto grinned.
"Now it's my turn!"
He formed Hand Seals.
Above them, his remaining Shadow Clones raised their hands together.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves!"
Dozens of wind blades slashed down from different directions.
They weren't aimed directly at Neji.
Instead, they carved up the ground around him inch by inch.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Chunks of stone flew.
The ground rapidly broke apart.
Neji's room to maneuver kept shrinking.
Trying to force me to use Heavenly Spin?
Neji saw through Naruto's plan at once.
If he used Heavenly Spin to defend himself,
Naruto could keep launching Wind Release attacks from above.
And Neji's Chakra could never match Naruto's, with his Uzumaki Bloodline and Nine-Tails Chakra.
But without Heavenly Spin, he couldn't block attacks this dense.
"Eight Trigrams Palms: Heavenly Spin!"
Neji had no choice.
A vortex of Chakra erupted again,
