Storm Release: Resilience and Despair

Lightning Release: Black Spot

Developed by the Third Raikage, Lightning Release unleashes leopard-shaped black Inazuma from his body, concentrating its attack on a single target and spreading outwards, causing the opponent pain, discomfort, and inability to move. After the Third Raikage's death, it was solely inherited by Darui.[1]

Lightning Release: Double Black Spot

Together with his Shadow Clone, he released black Lightning Release inherited from the Third Raikage. It formed two leopard-shaped black Inazuma, which first spread outwards to attack, and finally merged into one.

Lightning Release: Double Black Spot Shadow Clone Technique

Rank B, developed by the Second Naruto, uses chakra to create physical clones. These clones can act and fight like the user, possessing independent consciousness and a certain degree of resilience. They can be applied to various ninjutsu. After normal dissolution, the clones' memories and experiences return to the user.

On the eve of the Fourth Shinobi World War, in order to solve the problem of the Tailed Beasts being captured by the Akatsuki, the Fourth Raikage A invited the four Kage of each country to participate in the "Five Kage Summit", which was rare in history. During the summit, Yuki and Darui served as the Fourth Raikage A's bodyguards. When they learned that Sasuke had entered the meeting place, they used their sensory abilities to accurately locate Sasuke and others, and assisted Raikage Darui in a fierce battle with the hawk that had entered the meeting place. During the battle, Darui skillfully used Water Release and Lightning Release, and pressed Suigetsu in the battle. Later, he cooperated with Gaara's team to attack Uchiha Sasuke, but Sasuke's Susanoo blocked the attack. Afterwards, Darui felt ashamed for not protecting the Raikage well, which caused the Raikage to lose an arm. However, the Raikage said that Darui was like one of his arms. [8]

First Division Leader Darui

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Darui served as the captain of the First Division (Mid-Range Allied Forces Squad)[2]. He led the Allied Shinobi Forces to fight against the White Zetsu and used Lightning Release: Black Spot to successfully injure a large number of White Zetsu. Darui, Darui met the Gold and Gold and Silver Brothers and said to them, "Although it is a bit disrespectful to the senior, I still have to make you two lose face again. Perhaps I will strip off your gold and silver plating and use my Storm Release."

Samui and Atsui, siblings, arrived at this moment. Samui explained the secret of the Gold and Silver Brothers based on what she had learned before, but Atsui was on the same team, was sucked into the Kinkaku's gourd because she said "It's so hot." Samui was taken hostage and was rescued by Darui using his Storm Release. However, Samui was also sucked in because she did not answer for a long time, and Darui's Word of Power was also absorbed by the Benihisago. Danger was imminent, and Darui was surprised that Samui was sucked away without saying a word.

Darui analyzed the secret that even without speaking, he would still be sucked in. However, his good fortune didn't last long, as he was sucked in because he uttered "meijing," a homophone of his catchphrase "meijin" (meaning "no energy"). However, due to guilt towards his companions before being sucked in, he repeatedly said "sorry," which replaced "meijin" as his forbidden word, thus preventing him from being sucked into the "Benihisago." Taking advantage of Ginkaku's unpreparedness, he seized his "Shichiseiken" and "Benihisago" and sealed Ginkaku. Upon seeing his brother sealed, Kinkaku angrily unleashed the power of the Nine-Tails.

After Darui successfully obtained the final artifact, the Kohaku no Johei, he cooperated with the Konoha Ino-Shika-Cho Trio to seal Kinkaku inside the Kohaku no Johei. The Gold and Silver Brothers were completely annihilated.

Several years after the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Darui succeeded as the Fifth Raikage. His body became very strong, and he grew a mustache. He participated in a new round of Five Kage Summit with Naruto, Gaara, Kurotsuchi, and Chojuro.

Years later, as the new generation of ninjas grew up, Darui was invited by the Seventh Naruto, Naruto, to visit Konoha Village along with the four Kage from various countries to observe the new Chunin Exams. During the trip, Omoi was assigned to protect Darui suddenly appeared in Konoha Village as a bolt of yellow Inazuma striking the ground.

To rescue Naruto, who was forcibly taken to another dimension, Darui, Gaara, Chojuro, Kurotsuchi, and Boruto used a time portal released by Sasuke Uchiha's Rinnegan to arrive at the other dimension where Momoshiki was. In the other dimension, Darui and Gaara teamed up to fight Momoshiki Otsutsuki.

Gaara first used sand to shatter the branches of the God Tree that were binding Naruto. Darui then used his ninja sword to slash at Momoshiki, but Momoshiki easily dodged it. Gaara then released sand resembling a spider web to capture Momoshiki, but Momoshiki easily dodged it again. Darui, wielding a large sword, followed closely behind Momoshiki and launched an attack, forcing Momoshiki into a desperate situation.

However, after Kinshiki Momoshiki, Momoshiki's strength greatly increased. Momoshiki instantly appeared behind Darui and kicked Darui from the air to the ground. He easily dodged Gaara's sand and used his hair to wrap around Gaara's body. Then, he concentrated his power in his left fist and knocked Gaara with one punch.

Gaara, Darui, Chojuro, Kurotsuchi, and Sasuke were then Momoshiki using Shikamaru's Shadow Imitation Technique, but were freed due to Boruto's Invisible Rasengan.

Neji Hyuga is a Jonin (high-ranking ninja) of Konoha Hidden Leaf Village) in the Land of Fire. He is a member of Team Guy, led by Might Guy, and his teammates are Rock Lee and Tenten. He is a member of the branch family of the prestigious Konoha Hyuga Clan, the son of Hizashi Hyuga, Hinata Hyuga's cousin.

Known as a genius of the Hyuga Clan, although his Byakugan Kekkei Genkai was restricted by the main branch, he mastered taijutsu such as the Rotation Technique, which was only available to the main branch, thanks to his talent. After losing to Naruto in the Chunin Exams, his view of fate changed, and he no longer believed that fate was unchangeable.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Neji sacrificed himself to protect Naruto and Hinata by shielding them from the Ten-Tails' Wood-Style: Cutting Sprigs Jutsu.

Neji was born in Konoha Village and is the child of the Hyuga Clan family. He possesses one of the three great dojutsu, the Byakugan, Kekkei Genkai. When Hinata three years old, the main family placed Curse Mark on his forehead to restrain the branch family's power. This Curse Mark would only disappear when the caster died. Although he was bound by the fate of the branch family, through his rigorous training and his own outstanding talent, he mastered the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms and became a genius in everyone's eyes, the strongest among his peers as a genin. [2] [32]

When Neji Hyuga was a genin, he had long brown hair tied in a small ponytail at the ends, and wore a headband with the Konoha ninja symbol on it. There was a strap on each side of the headband that swayed in the wind. Underneath the headband was Curse Mark placed by the main branch of the family, which he always kept hidden so that others would not see it.

He has white eyes, and the veins around his eyes bulge when he uses the Byakugan. He wears a gray short-sleeved shirt and dark blue shorts. His right hand and right leg are wrapped in white bandages, and he wears blue ninja shoes. After becoming a Jonin, his appearance and clothing changed. He now has two bangs on either side of his forehead and wears Chinese Hanfu, a white shirt and pants with a dark gray hem.

Neji is very calm and silent, but this also gives him a sharper and more perceptive ability than most people. Because of his father's death, he held a pessimistic fatalistic view and was obsessed with the idea of fate. After being defeated by Naruto and learning the truth, he faced himself again and became much gentler. He is good at rationally analyzing situations. Although he seems emotionless, he is actually very thoughtful, cares deeply about his comrades, and has good leadership skills.

The Byakugan is the Kekkei Genkai of the Hyuga Clan Konoha Village, and Neji, a member of the Hyuga Clan, also possesses this ability. When using the Byakugan, the veins around his eyes bulge. He can X-Ray Vision Byakugan, be alert to and analyze his surroundings, and quickly assess the current situation. He can also see the meridians through which his opponent's chakra flows and the pressure points where chakra is released.

The Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms taijutsu was originally only passed down to the Hyūga clan, but Neji, a member of the branch family, mastered it on his own through his talent. The Byakugan, with its 360-degree Byakugan, sees images that resemble a circular eight trigram, and enemies within the eight trigrams will be subjected to fierce attacks. By striking all sixty-four pressure points on the body, one can stop the flow of chakra in the opponent, rendering them unable to stand up.

The Eight Trigrams Palm: Heavenly Rotation technique involves releasing a large amount of chakra from all the chakra points in the body to counter the enemy, while simultaneously rotating the body to deflect the attack. This technique was originally a secret technique passed down orally within the Hyuga Main House, but Neji Hyuga, a member of the branch family, developed it on his own. Like Gaara's Sand, Rotation is also Absolute Defense.

Neji's Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms evolved from the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, with variations in posture. It utilizes a 360-degree all-around Byakugan, placing the opponent within the Eight Trigrams formation to strike 128 major pressure points on their body. During his battle with Kidomaru, he used this technique to attack a large number of falling small spiders.

The Eight Trigrams Air Palm compresses air to strike the enemy; Hyuga clan. Using the Byakugan as a sight, it precisely sees through the opponent, aims at their vital points, and releases a super-fast palm technique. This vacuum cannonball, compressed and containing the Gentle Fist, pierces through the enemy's vital points with ferocious pressure, compensating for weaknesses in taijutsu and fully unleashing close and mid-range attacks. By the time the attacked person feels the impact, they've already been blown away by the airflow.

The Eight Trigrams Air Wall Palm is a taijutsu technique where two people who know the Eight Trigrams Air Palm simultaneously release a vacuum Shockwave with one hand after activating their Byakugan. During the Ninja War, Neji and Hinata used the Eight Trigrams Air Wall Palm together. [23]

First, he gathers chakra within his body, then releases it all at once from his hands. This is the Gentle Fist Neji used after being trapped from behind by White Zetsu. This taijutsu can deliver a decisive blow to an opponent at close range, and is also very effective against opponents attacking from behind. The Gentle Fist Art: One Blow Body...

The Bagua Mountain-Breaking Strike delivers a powerful blow using Gentle Fist, strong enough to send the opponent flying. After the opponent is knocked into the rocks, the rocks behind them are instantly crushed by the powerful palm strike.

Hizashi Hyuga was Neji's father and the Hiashi. His strength was comparable to his brother's, and Neji inherited his talents. To protect his son, brother, and clan, he sacrificed himself in Hiashi's place, carrying the fate of the Hyūga branch family throughout his life.

Hyuga Hiashi was the head of the Hyuga Clan and Neji's uncle. He earnestly hoped that the Hyuga Clan would prosper and that the main family and branch family would one day be able to work together. During the Chunin Exams, he told Neji the truth about Hizashi Hyuga's death and showed him his father's last letter, which made Neji let go of his hatred for the main family.

Hinata Hyuga was the eldest daughter of the main branch of the prestigious Hyuga Clan and Neji's cousin, but her ninjutsu skills were far inferior to his. She always regarded him as her own brother. Through her efforts and Hyuga Hiashi's explanations, Neji gradually changed his attitude towards the main branch, and the resentment between the two regarding the main and branch families disappeared. During the Shinobi World War, Neji heroically sacrificed himself to protect Naruto and Hinata from the Ten-Tails' attack.

Hanabi Hyuga is the second daughter of Hyuga Hiashi of the Hyuga family, Neji Hyuga's cousin. She received training from her father from a young age and is more talented than Hinata. She watched the Chunin Exams her cousin and Uzumaki Naruto with her father.

Naruto and Hinata Hyuga's son, Neji's nephew.

Naruto and Hinata Hyuga's daughter. When she was little, Hinata took her to pay respects to Neji Hyuga, and she gave the Himawari she brought to her uncle.

Might Guy is the teacher of Team Guy in Konoha. He is skilled in taijutsu and likes to teach Neji, Tenten, and Rock Lee with encouraging words and enthusiasm. He always fights to the end and never admits defeat.

Like Neji, Rock Lee was a member of Team Guy. Lacking talent in ninjutsu and genjutsu, he honed his exceptional taijutsu through his fearless and relentless spirit. He considered Neji a worthy opponent to surpass, and during the Chunin Exams, when Naruto challenged Neji, he also declared that Neji was the opponent he would defeat.

Tenten, like Neji, is a member of Team Guy. She excels at taijutsu and manipulating ninja tools. She hides various ninja tools throughout her body. Although she lost to Temari in the Chunin Exams, as Neji's training opponent, her strength should not be underestimated.

When Neji was four years old, he was taken away by the main family and branded with the Caged Bird Curse Mark. This Curse Mark could easily damage the nerves of branch family members and seal the Byakugan's abilities, forcing him to live only to protect the main family. When he was young, Hizashi Hyuga had high hopes for him, firmly believing that he would become the most outstanding ninja in the Hyuga Clan.

However, during the ninja incident in the Land of Clouds, his father died, and he believed that the main family had killed his father, so he has always hated the main family. In the Konoha Ninja Academy, Neji Hyuga was assigned to the class led by Jonin Might Guy, and became teammates with Rock Lee and Tenten.

Neji, along with Rock Lee and others, participated in the Chunin Exams held by Konoha Village. During the written exam, Neji used his Byakugan to peek at the answers on the exam paper and successfully passed. In the second exam, while traversing the Forest of Death, he witnessed his teammate Rock Lee being defeated by the Sound Ninja while helping Sakura. Neji wanted to help, but refrained from intervening because he sensed an anomaly in Sasuke's chakra using his Byakugan. Subsequently, Sasuke, under the Cursed Seal state, overwhelmed the Sound Ninja with sheer power. Finally, through their efforts, Neji and his companions successfully traversed the Forest of Death, completing the second exam.

In the third preliminary exam, his opponent was Hinata, who also belonged to the Hyuga Clan. At the beginning of the battle, he kept attacking his opponent. He believed that Hinata's abilities were not enough to be his opponent, and "advised" Hinata to give up the competition early. He believed that a person's abilities in life were predetermined, and no matter how much Hinata made herself stronger, she could not change her fate as a weakling.

Inspired by Naruto, Hinata displayed courage, fighting him to a standstill. Naruto was astonished by her Ittan behavior of repeatedly getting knocked down and then getting back up. However, the difference in their strength was too great; Hinata was attacked by Pressure Point Technique and Gentle Fist, eventually becoming exhausted. He even attempted to kill his cousin, a member of the main branch of the family. Fortunately, several Konoha instructors intervened in time, saving Hinata's life, but she collapsed to the ground, coughing up blood.

After the battle, he ridiculed Hinata and Naruto was cheering for Hinata, as "losers," believing it to be an unchangeable fact for them. This enraged Naruto, who was standing next to Hinata, and he vowed to defeat him in the third official exam.

He actually encountered Naruto in the third official exam. He used a number of the Hyuga Clan taijutsu techniques, including the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, Rotation, and pressure point techniques, which not only completely defended against Naruto's physical attacks but also put Naruto at a disadvantage.

During the battle, he revealed to Naruto why he hated the main branch of the family so much, and reiterated that a person's fate is innate and unchangeable, believing that it was to be expected that Naruto would be defeated by him. However, Naruto was quite disdainful of his ideas and refuted them many times. Later, when Naruto's own chakra was sealed by his "pressure point" technique, he used his spiritual power to summon the powerful chakra of the Nine-Tails Fox, and as a result, he turned the tables and defeated him.

After the match, Hyuga Hiashi privately sought him out and told him the truth about Hizashi Hyuga's death. Only then did he Satori that his father had not been forced to his death by the main family, but had voluntarily sacrificed himself to protect the Hyuga Clan.

Upon learning that Sasuke had left the village at Sasuke 'Orochimaru invitation, the Fifth Naruto immediately ordered Shikamaru to organize a team to retrieve him. Shikamaru recruited Naruto, Choji Akimichi, Kiba, and Neji, forming a five-person team to rescue Sasuke. Neji was positioned at the rear of the team, using his Byakugan to scout the surroundings and guard the rear.

While pursuing the Sound Five, Neji used his Byakugan to locate the resting enemy. While secretly observing the enemy's situation, he was spotted by Sakon Ukon and knocked down by an explosive tag they threw.

After Shikamaru's negotiations with the other party failed, the group was surrounded by Jirobo's Earth Release barrier. Kiba, trapped inside, tried to break through the wall with his Over Fang Over Fang, creating a large hole, but the wall quickly repaired itself. Neji realized this was no ordinary earthen wall and, using his Byakugan, discovered that the other party had infused chakra into the barrier, causing it to automatically repair itself after being attacked. Furthermore, the other party could absorb everyone's chakra through the barrier.

However, he also observed from Kiba's attacks that the chakra in certain areas of the barrier was weaker. He threw kunai to mark the weakest points of chakra, in order to coordinate with Choji's attack. Finally Choji used the Human Bullet Tank to break through the earthen prison, freeing everyone. In order to buy time to catch up with Sasuke, Choji stayed behind alone to fight Jirobo, Neji and the others continued to chase Sasuke.

During the chase, the group was once again stopped by Kidomaru. Kidomaru used the Spider Binding Technique to bind Shikamaru, the Spider Cocoon to capture Naruto's clones, Kiba, and Neji, and used weapons made from the Spider Sticky Gold as throwing stars at Naruto's clones. However, none of them were the real Naruto, and they were almost ambushed by the real Naruto. During the battle, Neji observed that the spider silk created by Kidomaru was made of chakra, and only by releasing chakra with Gentle Fist could the spider silk be cut.

He swiftly used Gentle Fist to cut the spider silk binding the others, rescuing them. Believing that only he could deal with Kidomaru's ninjutsu, he volunteered to stay behind to fight, allowing Naruto, Shikamaru, and Kiba to continue chasing the Sound Ninja and Sasuke.

Kidomaru continuously spewed spider webs from his mouth to capture Neji, and attacked him with weapons formed from the Sticky Gold Technique. Kidomaru thought Neji could only cut the spider webs with the chakra in his hands. Little did he know that Neji could release chakra from various acupoints on his body, instantly severing the spider webs completely. He used Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms to launch a series of attacks on Kidomaru, knocking Kidomaru off the tree.

Neji thought his opponent wouldn't be able to stand, but surprisingly, Kidomaru wasn't seriously injured and even revealed his golden Armored Titan. It turned out he had used spider-like gold to create a hardened metal defensive block called "Sticky Gold Armor," protecting his entire body. Neji realized his Gentle Fist was ineffective against him and had to change tactics.

Kidomaru realized during the battle that his opponent was skilled in close combat, so he chose to assassinate him from a distance. Kidomaru first deceived him with fake explosive tags and then shot out many kunai made of gold. However, he blocked them all with the Eight Trigrams Palm: Heavenly Rotation and turned around to shoot kunai at his hiding place, but Kidomaru ducked and dodged them.

Realizing his terrifying power, Kidomaru was forced to enter Curse Mark State One and summon a giant spider using Summoning Technique. From the giant spider's body, numerous smaller spiders connected by chakra spider silk attacked him. He hurriedly activated the Rotation Defense, but the spiders' relentless silk-spinning gradually slowed his movements. Kidomaru seized the opportunity and fired a kunai at him, but it was blocked. Although Neji ultimately defended against the spiders and kunai, he learned from the battle that the spider silk would affect the rotation of the Rotation, meaning he could no longer use it continuously.

To evade his physical attacks and create distance, Kidomaru released more kunai and small spiders from a distance to attack him. Neji used Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms and Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms to defend against the kunai and spiders, but one kunai passed through his shoulder, injuring him. Kidomaru immediately analyzed that although he could defend against long-range attacks within a 50-meter radius and had a 360-degree field of vision, there was actually a blind spot on the second sternum of his back that his Byakugan could not see.

Kidomaru immediately unleashed a barrage of kunai attacks on this blind spot. As the giant spider shattered with his Gentle Fist, Kidomaru seized the opportunity to fire a barrage of kunai, severely injuring the spider and causing it to collapse. Just when Kidomaru thought his opponent was dead, he rose again, prompting Kidomaru to decide to defeat him using the power of his Curse Mark State Two. Kidomaru forged a war bow from his mouth using chakra and prepared to launch a surprise attack on the opponent's blind spot with a 100% accurate long-range arrow.

Fortunately, Neji had already released a large amount of chakra around him, causing the arrow to deviate slightly from the fatal point by 15 centimeters. However, because the arrow had been aimed at his blind spot, he couldn't detect it, and it still passed through his shoulder. Kidomaru fired another arrow, which he dodged again, but he also couldn't sense it beforehand.
