Neji's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Fate, like the turning of the sun and moon, is predetermined. The main family is born noble, and the branch family will forever protect it. Hinata's weakness is her destiny, and your failure is also your destiny. Resisting fate will only bring greater suffering. Just like now, you stand here challenging me, and the outcome is already decided."
"Stop talking!"
Naruto got into position: "What the hell is fate! I, Uzumaki Naruto, will show you how to defeat it! Let's begin!"
"Game start!"
The referee's voice, "Moonlight Gale," faded away!
Chapter 102 Resurrection, Invincible Defense
Before the words were even finished, the two of them moved at the same time!
Neji's figure was like a ghost, and he used the Bagua Steps to close the distance in an instant!
His movements were elegant yet deadly; his right hand, fingers joined like a sword, its tip wreathed in pure chakra, aimed straight at Naruto's vital point in the chest—
Gentle Fist - Acupressure!
Naruto showed no fear, roared, and advanced instead of retreating!
Instead of using fancy ninjutsu, he swung his fist, channeled chakra, and delivered a powerful straight punch to Neji's face!
He wanted to break down the other party's arrogance in the most direct way!
Neji sneered inwardly, instantly activating his Byakugan!
The trajectory of Naruto's fist, the distribution of its power, and the flow of its chakra were crystal clear to him!
He shifted his body slightly, like a willow catkin, precisely avoiding Naruto's fist.
At the same time, his right hand, with fingers pointing straight like a sword, struck the inside of Naruto's right elbow joint like a venomous snake spitting its tongue!
A soft, muffled thud!
Naruto felt a sudden numbness in his right arm, and the chakra he had gathered dissipated like a punctured balloon!
The strength in his entire arm vanished instantly, and it hung limply down!
Naruto was shocked and immediately followed up with his left hand, delivering a hook punch towards Neji's ribs!
Neji moved with the grace of flowing water, easily dodging the attack once again, and his left index finger struck Naruto's left shoulder acupoint with lightning speed!
Another muffled sound!
Naruto's left shoulder also went numb, and his left arm lost all strength!
In just two exchanges, Neji easily crippled both of his arms!
"So fast! So accurate!" Sakura exclaimed from the stands.
"Is this the power of the Hyuga Gentle Fist combined with the Byakugan... It's almost unbeatable in close combat!" Sasuke's eyes were serious.
"Did you see that? Naruto."
Neji's voice carried a cold declaration: "This is the difference. Under my Byakugan, your movements are full of flaws. Your strength is meaningless before me. Surrender; it's your only option to avoid serious injury."
Naruto roared, his arms were weak, but he channeled chakra into his legs and unleashed a powerful whip kick at Neji's lower body!
As if he had foreseen the future, Neji dodged with a light leap, his toe lightly touching Naruto's sweeping leg!
Naruto's right knee was precisely targeted in a chakra point on the inside of his knee! His entire right leg went numb instantly, and he staggered, almost falling over!
"It's not over yet!" Naruto endured the numbness, supported himself on one leg, and swept his left leg across again! But his movements were already distorted, and his speed was greatly reduced.
Neji's eyes flashed with impatience. He stopped dodging and met the attack head-on, his hands becoming a blur of afterimages!
"Eight Trigrams - Second Palm!"
"Sixteen palms!"
"Thirty-two palms!"
Bang bang bang bang bang-!
The dense, rain-like palm strikes landed precisely on Naruto's chakra points!
Chest, abdomen, shoulders, arms, legs... every palm strike carries the power of Gentle Fist, capable of cutting off chakra!
Naruto was like a broken sandbag, forced to retreat repeatedly by Neji's relentless palm strikes.
A tearing pain and a feeling of powerlessness, as if his chakra was stagnant, shot through his body! Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth!
"Naruto-kun!"
In the stands, Hinata covered her mouth, her eyes filled with worry.
Hiashi Hyuga sat in the Hyuga main family's exclusive area, watching Neji's fluid and powerful Gentle Fist techniques in the arena.
Especially when he saw some subtle variations that were not taught by the main family, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
There was shock, there was apprehension, and there was also a hint of indescribable...guilt?
However, Naruto, who was hit by all thirty-six palms, suddenly smiled, as if he wasn't the one being hit at all.
"Shadow Clone Technique? When did that happen?"
It wasn't until the white smoke burst open that Neji realized that he had been fighting a shadow clone all along.
Taking advantage of Neji's momentary daze, smoke exploded again around the arena.
Bang bang bang bang bang-!
Dozens of Narutos instantly appeared in the arena, surrounding Neji!
"Brothers! Let's go! Beat this arrogant bastard to a pulp!"
All the Narutos roared in unison, like a golden tide, rushing towards Neji in the center from all directions!
"Huh, what a small skill."
Neji quickly calmed down and remained composed in the face of the attack, even managing a cold smile.
He lowered his body slightly, slowly opened his hands, and a powerful surge of chakra instantly erupted from all 361 acupoints on his body!
"Gentle Fist Technique - Bagua Palm Reversal!"
boom--! ! !
An impenetrable blue spherical absolute defense barrier made of rapidly spinning chakra instantly formed, firmly protecting Neji within it!
Bang bang bang bang bang-! ! !
Naruto's shadow clones, like moths drawn to a flame, crashed into the Heavenly Barrier.
In an instant, it was torn apart and shredded by the violent rotating force, turning into wisps of white smoke and dissipating!
In just a few seconds, all the attacking shadow clones were wiped out!
"What?!" Naruto's pupils shrank dramatically! This defense... is insane!
In the stands, Hiashi Hyuga suddenly stood up, his face filled with disbelief and shock: "Return?! He... he actually comprehended the main family's secret technique on his own?!"
The surrounding Hyuga clan members gasped in surprise, their gazes towards Neji filled with awe and complex emotions.
This genius from the branch family, his talent and hard work have surpassed the imagination of the main family.
"It's no use, Naruto."
As the Rejuvenation technique dissipated, Neji stood unharmed, coldly staring at Naruto: "In the face of my Rejuvenation, numbers are meaningless. Your struggles only make you a laughingstock."
Naruto frowned; this turtle shell presented a 360-degree defense with no blind spots.
Close combat is completely countered, and shadow clones are ineffective... so let's use ranged attacks!
"Fire Release: Great Fire Extinguishing Arrows!"
Naruto took a deep breath, his chest bulged, and blazing flames shot out, heading straight for Neji!
This is the second Fire Release technique that Naruto learned from Madara, which is based on Great Fire Annihilation and compresses flames.
This concentrates its attack range, causing greater destruction than the extinguishing fire.
However, Neji simply raised his hand again: "Return to Heaven!"
The blue sphere reappeared, and raging flames crashed against it.
Like a clay ox sinking into the sea, it was easily dispersed and annihilated by the spinning chakra! Not even a ripple was stirred up!
"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"
Naruto changed his strategy, trying to use a strong wind to disrupt Neji's formation.
The heavens remained steadfast and unmoved, the fierce winds easily dissipated.
Naruto used ninjutsu continuously, consuming a huge amount of chakra, but he couldn't even touch Neji's clothes!
Neji's counterattack, however, was like a maggot clinging to a bone!
"Gentle Fist Technique - Bagua Empty Palm!"
Neji unleashed a palm strike from afar! A condensed, invisible shockwave of chakra instantly traversed space and slammed into Naruto's chest!
Naruto felt as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer, his chest ached terribly, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body flew backward uncontrollably!
"it's over!"
Neji's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his body instantly caught up with the flying Naruto, his hands turning into an even faster blur!
Chapter 103 Invincible? I've broken through invincibility!
"Bagua·Sixty-Four Palms!"
After successfully repelling Naruto, Neji swiftly unleashed his deadly palm strikes, trapping his opponent like a net from heaven!
Sixty-four palm strikes! This is an even more ferocious attack than the previous thirty-two palm strikes!
Once all 64 vital acupoints on the body are struck, the chakra system will be completely blocked, and even a god cannot save you!
At the critical moment!
"Shadow Clone Technique!" Naruto, flying backward, barely managed to form hand seals!
A shadow clone appeared in front of him, taking his place to face the deadly Bagua Sixty-Four Palms!
