At this moment, in the Ninja Academy training grounds.
Gyo Uchiha sprinted forward, flicking his hands to draw several kunai and hurl them at Hyuga Setsuna.
He followed close behind.
Facing the incoming kunai and Gyo Uchiha rushing after them, Hyuga Setsuna remained calm and composed.
With only a slight turn of his body, he dodged the kunai.
Suddenly!
Gyo Uchiha abruptly appeared in front of Hyuga Setsuna and threw a powerful kick straight at him.
Bang.
How was that possible? He had actually blocked it?
Gyo Uchiha stared at his own kick in shock. Hyuga Setsuna had stopped it with one hand!
Hyuga Setsuna smiled lightly at Gyo Uchiha's stunned expression.
After Otsutsuki Kaguya's gift last night, both his physical abilities and Chakra reserves had already reached a level close to that of a Chunin. How could Gyo Uchiha possibly defeat him so easily?
Hyuga Setsuna grabbed Gyo Uchiha's ankle with his backhand and flung him into the air, kicking up clouds of dust across the ground.
Gyo Uchiha, who had been thrown to the ground, climbed back up and spoke in disbelief.
"How is this possible? How can you be this strong?!"
"Damn it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gyo Uchiha charged forward aggressively.
His fists blurred through the air as they struck rapidly at Hyuga Setsuna.
Even under such a fierce assault, Hyuga Setsuna blocked every attack with ease, his face expressionless.
Watching Hyuga Setsuna effortlessly fend off his attacks, the fury in Gyo Uchiha's heart only grew stronger. Had this guy been ignoring me from the very beginning?
As Gyo Uchiha's attacks were continuously neutralized, his expression gradually darkened.
Was the gap really that vast?
He was clearly a genius of the Uchiha Clan, so why did this difference make him feel so powerless?
Bang!
At that moment, Hyuga Setsuna caught an opening in Gyo Uchiha's defenses. Using Hyuga Style Gentle Fist Taijutsu, he turned his palm into a fist and slammed it fiercely into Gyo Uchiha's stomach.
That single punch sent Gyo Uchiha flying to the side.
By now, most of the students in the other training areas had already decided their matches.
Kurenai Yuhi and the others also came over to watch.
"Setsuna-kun is so strong!"
Seeing Gyo Uchiha sent flying with one punch, Kurenai Yuhi could not help letting out a cry of amazement.
Obito Uchiha beside her began shouting excitedly.
"I told you! Setsuna is insanely strong, so there was nothing to worry about!"
The people around him watched Obito Uchiha wave his arms around and could not help thinking, Which side are you even on? The one who got sent flying is from your Uchiha Clan!
Kakashi looked at Hyuga Setsuna in the training grounds and spoke quietly.
"Were you hiding your strength all this time?"
In the training grounds, Gyo Uchiha grew even more furious upon hearing the voices from outside.
Especially after hearing Obito Uchiha's words, he was so angry he nearly coughed up blood.
Getting back to his feet, Gyo Uchiha let out a cold laugh.
"Don't think beating me in Taijutsu means you've already won. Next, I'll make you die horribly."
As soon as he finished speaking, he rapidly formed hand seals, intending to use Ninjutsu.
Seeing Gyo Uchiha's hand-seal speed, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Hyuga Setsuna's lips.
Watching Hyuga Setsuna run toward him, Gyo Uchiha said mockingly.
"It's too late. Tremble before the Uchiha Clan!"
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Gyo Uchiha spat out a huge fireball that blasted toward the approaching Hyuga Setsuna.
"Setsuna-kun!"
"Setsuna!"
Obito Uchiha and the others below cried out in alarm as they watched Hyuga Setsuna about to be struck by the Great Fireball. Kurenai Yuhi's eyes reddened as she tried to rush forward.
"Teacher Kimura, it's time for me to step in. That child won't be able to withstand the Great Fireball."
At that moment, a Chunin examiner recording the assessment information stood up and spoke to Teacher Kimura.
"No need. Setsuna won't be defeated so easily. Don't worry."
Teacher Kimura stopped the examiner, confidence written across his face.
Just as Hyuga Setsuna was about to be hit by the Great Fireball, his body suddenly burst into a cloud of white smoke.
A clone... no... that wasn't right. It was a Shadow Clone!
The mocking expression on Gyo Uchiha's face instantly froze.
If the one from before was a Shadow Clone, then where was the real body?
Sweat continuously dripped down his face!
"I'm behind you."
"Gentle Fist Art: Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms!"
As that icy voice rang out, Hyuga Setsuna appeared behind Gyo Uchiha and assumed the opening stance of the Gentle Fist.
An Eight Trigrams formation suddenly enveloped them both.
Looking at the Eight Trigrams formation surrounding him, Gyo Uchiha's face filled with fury. He understood that he was about to lose.
"Accept your fate of defeat, Gyo Uchiha!"
"Two Palms!"
"Four Palms!"
"Eight Palms!"
"Sixteen Palms!"
"Thirty-Two Palms!"
As his words fell, Hyuga Setsuna's palm strikes continuously landed on thirty-two Chakra points across Gyo Uchiha's body.
Bang!
With the end of the Gentle Fist's Thirty-Two Palms, Gyo Uchiha crashed heavily onto the ground like a battered, broken doll.
"The pride of the Uchiha Clan is nothing special after all!"
Hyuga Setsuna slowly spoke as he looked at Gyo Uchiha lying helplessly on the ground.
Gyo Uchiha lay prone on the ground, wiping away the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. When he had been struck by the Gentle Fist's Thirty-Two Palms, his internal organs had suffered severe damage as well.
Why!
Why was the gap between them so great? Whether it was strength, physical ability, or even Ninjutsu, why could he not compare to him?
"Don't get so full of yourself! The Uchiha Clan is the strongest!"
Gyo Uchiha glared at Hyuga Setsuna and roared furiously. At the same time, his eyes turned blood-red, and a single tomoe slowly rotated within them.
Hyuga Setsuna looked at Gyo Uchiha in surprise.
He actually awakened the Sharingan?
Looks like the pressure I gave him caused his eyes to awaken.
The students below also cried out in surprise.
"Gyo Uchiha actually awakened the Sharingan?!"
"So that's the Uchiha Clan's Bloodline Limit? It's my first time seeing it!"
Even Teacher Kimura and the examiners outside the field stared at Gyo Uchiha in shock, thinking, The Uchiha Clan may have produced another terrifying genius. That clan is truly frightening!
The relief Kurenai Yuhi had just felt instantly vanished, and she looked at Hyuga Setsuna with deep concern.
Kakashi stared at Gyo Uchiha's crimson Sharingan and spoke softly. "Setsuna, what will you do now?"
In the training grounds, Gyo Uchiha stood up. Using the awakening of his Sharingan, he undid the sealed Chakra points and spoke coldly to Hyuga Setsuna.
"Hyuga Setsuna, no matter how strong you are, you still have no chance of victory before these eyes. Even geniuses must bow before them!"
Otsutsuki Kaguya's cool, ethereal voice sounded beside Hyuga Setsuna's ear.
"The Sharingan. Such weak ocular power."
"Little Setsuna, defeat him with the Byakugan. Prove that the Byakugan is the strongest!"
"I will, Grandmother!"
After all, this match had finally become interesting. He could get a little serious now.
Hyuga Setsuna looked at Gyo Uchiha, who had awakened the Sharingan, and spoke with a gentle smile.
"Even if you've awakened the Sharingan, it still depends on who is using those eyes!"
"Byakugan, activate!"
"Gyo Uchiha, can you keep up with my speed?"
The confidence on Gyo Uchiha's face swiftly darkened when he saw the veins bulging around Hyuga Setsuna's temples as he activated the Byakugan.
"Heh. Before these eyes, even if you activate the Byakugan, you still have no chance of winning!"
Hyuga Setsuna said nothing more. He merely calmed himself and assumed a stance.
Teacher Kimura watched Hyuga Setsuna's Byakugan and that familiar stance, thinking, Has a child this young already learned the Sixty-Four Palms? It seems the Hyuga Clan will produce a genius as well!
"Gentle Fist again?" An Eight Trigrams Domain began to envelop Gyo Uchiha, as though every movement he made had been locked down.
"Gentle Fist Art: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"
"Two Palms!"
"Four Palms!"
"Eight Palms!"
"Sixteen Palms!"
"Thirty-Two Palms!"
"Sixty-Four Palms!"
As Hyuga Setsuna's crisp shout rang out, an Eight Trigrams Domain formation enveloped them both. His fierce attacks came down like a violent storm, endlessly striking Gyo Uchiha's Chakra points.
The Sharingan in Gyo Uchiha's eyes spun continuously as he tried to catch Hyuga Setsuna's figure, but all he saw were afterimages. He simply could not evade the attacks filling the sky.
He could only watch helplessly as Hyuga Setsuna's Gentle Fist strikes landed on his body.
Bang!
Gyo Uchiha's body was sent flying as if struck by a shockwave, crashing heavily to the side.
Before losing consciousness, all he saw was Hyuga Setsuna's disdainful smile.
Winner of the match.
Hyuga Setsuna!
