There is still one qualifying match for Chunin Ninja Exams in the third round.
Ten people were selected from twenty-one people to compete in the real Chunin Ninja Exams competition.
Reaching this step means that you have no teammates to rely on, and you have to rely solely on your own performance to become Chunin.
Before the start of the competition, examiner Gekko Hayate informed that because one Rain Ninja was too seriously injured and has not recovered yet, only twenty people will participate in this qualifying competition.
The opponent of Naruto is the companion of Rain Ninja.
They were originally forced into Heaven Scroll by a few people from Naruto and thrown into Tower.
Their own strength is just that, but when three people use Ninjutsu together, they can use a wide range of Cursed Rain Technique to weaken the enemy, which is quite remarkable.
I don't know if it was done deliberately.
Hinata's opponent is Neji.
Neji clenched his fist and then released it.
Unexpectedly, in the qualifiers of Chunin Ninja Exams, I would face Hinata?
Walking into the competition venue, looking at Hinata walking towards me, Neji felt mixed emotions in my heart.
I remember at the very beginning, I heard my father Hizashi talk about it with a rare relaxed tone, Main Family had a girl born there, and when he had a cousin, the young Neji was really happy.
Even later, "Caged Bird Seal" Cursed Seal, which symbolized Branch Family Shackles and sacrifice, was engraved on his forehead, and the joy was not completely extinguished.
His father touched his head and said in a heavy but firm tone, "Neji, this mark also means responsibility. You have to become strong, protect Main Family, protect...Hinata."
At that time, he thought, it would be the same whether there is Caged Bird Seal or not.
Even without Caged Bird Seal, he would still protect his sister.
The turning point occurred when Hinata was three years old.
The news of my father's death came like a bolt from the blue.
The tall figure who always had strict demands on him but had deep love hidden in his eyes was forced to die in the Main Family's place for the sake of the so-called "Hyuga Clan's rules" and "peace".
Anger, confusion, and resentment were like poisonous ivy, entangled in his young heart at that time.
When he looked at the Main Family, and at the sister Hinata whose father had sacrificed his life for her, there was no pure closeness in his eyes, only cold estrangement and unspeakable anger.
The past is like sand, gradually blown away by the wind of time and the truth later known.
He grew up, became stronger, and finally touched upon the past that had been covered up layer by layer.
It was not Uncle who forced his father to death, but the rigid Branch Family system, and even more so the few Hyuga Elder among them who were greedy and cold-blooded and regarded his father as an expendable pawn.
Those dirty calculations and betrayals are the real culprits.
When the truth is revealed, the blood debt must be paid with blood.
He joined forces with Uncle Hiashi and used the power of thunder to make those corrupt conspirators pay the price they deserve.
My father's revenge was avenged.
The quicksand dispersed, revealing the buried scene.
At this moment, standing opposite Hinata again, as the opponent of Chunin Ninja Exams, the resentment, anger, and coldness in Neji's heart have long since disappeared.
Instead, there is a deeper and more complex emotion, which eventually settles into clear love.
Yes, love.
A brother's affection for his overly gentle sister.
He looked at her back that was trembling slightly but trying to straighten up, and at her nervous but determined Byakugan.
But... I won't hold back this time.
This is just an exam, a test.
And what he, as the elder brother, should probably do is give her a battle that can really help her see herself clearly and break through.
Neji slowly moved into the starting position of Gentle Fist. The meridians around Byakugan surged, and his vision penetrated everything. His voice echoed calmly in the venue:
"Hinata, please go all out. Let me see what kind of power you have until today."
"Well, please also ask brother Neji to do your best."
The two of them turned on Byakugan at the same time.
With Gekko Hayate announcing the start of the competition.
Hinata condensed lightning on his hands and rushed towards Neji quickly.
Divine Vacuum Attack·Fierce Lightning Flash!
Seeing such a familiar move, Neji's pupils trembled wildly.
Is this the same trick Naruto Uzumaki used last time?
But the speed is slower.
Neji's momentum increased, and he subconsciously activated Gate of Opening, and then used the move he dealt with last time.
Using the Gentle Fist footwork, he forced himself to slide to the side and back to avoid this thunderous frontal impact.
At the same time, at the moment of dodging, he condensed precise Chakra in his right palm, and cut out with his backhand like a poisonous snake spitting a message, directly stabbing Rib Pressure Point on the charging trajectory of Hinata.
Hinata, who watched the last battle, naturally responded.
Before Hinata's forward momentum was over, the electric light wrapped around his hands suddenly dissipated, replaced by two groups of Purple Eyes Chakra that suddenly expanded.
The Chakra condensed into shape in an instant, and there were two majestic lion heads with angry eyes and flying manes, wrapping her little fists in them.
Soft Step·Twin Lion Fists!
It was as if there was a silent roar of a lion.
Chakra on Hinata exploded.
Neji The shock force coming from his fingertips made his arm numb slightly, and the attack was instantly deflected!
With the explosive thrust of her Chakra, Hinata twisted her body, wrapped her right fist around the mighty Purple Eyes lion's head, drew a sharp arc, and hit Neji's flank, which was slightly unbalanced due to the failed attack.
Offense and defense can be reversed in an instant.
Neji finally showed real surprise in his eyes, but more importantly, he was full of appreciation.
He retracted his arm to block without hesitation, and also concentrated Chakra on his left palm to meet the roaring lion fist.
"Bang!"
Chakra The muffled sound of the collision exploded in the venue, and the air waves lifted the hair and clothes of the two people.
The two instantly distanced themselves.
Naruto Everyone around him looked at him.
"Is that the trick you used Naruto?"
Kakashi asked.
He still remembered that after watching the movie last time, Naruto rushed in like this and then blocked Neji's attack to end the battle with one kick.
"Well, this is Divine Vacuum Attack·Fierce Lightning Flash.
It was when I was sparring with Hinata and Hanabi that I observed that their Gentle Fist incorporated the moves created by Chakra Nature Transformation.
Hinata has the foundation of Gentle Fist and learned it quickly."
When Kakashi saw this trick for the first time, Naruto had just graduated.
In other words, this is Nintaijutsu which Naruto created when he was Ninja Academy.
What an incredible talent.
Naruto stood by the railing and watched the battle below intently. If something happened, he would rush down immediately.
Hinata's talent is actually very good, but because he had previously focused on training Gentle Fist, he could only use Chakra, which has its own thunder and fire attributes.
Therefore, I only learned Fierce Lightning Flash and Blazing Flame Charge.
It should still be a little difficult to deal with Neji.
After all, Wind Pressure Pull and Water Dragon Prison are mechanisms, Earth Terrain Shift are operations, and Fierce Lightning Flash and Blazing Flame Charge are just simple values.
The simple operation of entering Neji is a bit awkward.
Below, Hinata and Neji are fighting back and forth, seemingly evenly matched.
