Chapter 229 The Seedling of the Reincarnation Eye
Eight Gates, open!
A burst of energy exploded from Neji's body, opening the gate, the gate of life... all the way to the fifth gate, the gate of death!
A green flame, symbolizing vitality, ignited on Neji's body. Years of arduous training finally blossomed into his own spark at this moment!
Hinata's blue pupils reflected Neji's figure, and the next moment Neji appeared in front of Hinata.
Clang!
It wasn't a clash of swords, but the impact of fists.
The two exchanged blows, and with the power of the Eight Gates enhanced, Neji was finally able to engage Hinata in a brutal, back-and-forth exchange of blows.
His body was trembling. While the Eight Gates Technique enhanced his physical strength, it also placed an unspeakable burden on his body.
Cells are overworked, blood is flowing faster, and the heart is screaming!
However, he was laughing.
Finally, I'm able to put up a fight against the young lady.
With the combined power and skill of Neji, he unleashed a palm strike, creating a shockwave that hurtled towards Hinata.
This is a technique he learned from Teacher Kai's Morning Peacock, using extreme power and speed to create shockwaves. If the power is even stronger, it can even ignite sparks!
The dense impact struck Hinata's arm, and her slightly thin body was pushed towards the edge of the ring, like a lone boat in a stormy sea, swept away by a pack of wolves and unable to resist.
Karin on the stage was filled with worry. Although she knew that Hinata's strength was far greater than what she had seen, she wondered if she might make a mistake and be taken down by Neji in one fell swoop.
However, Naruto and Sasuke were not worried. They put their hands in their pockets and looked at Hinata, who had been knocked back by the impact, as if they were waiting for something.
"Sorry, Neji-nii-san, Naruto-kun and I made a promise to win together this time."
Suddenly, Hinata raised her head, looked at Neji who was waving his hands in the distance, and said seriously.
Blue chakra surged within his body, as if it were about to burst forth, but it remained trapped inside.
The eyes are still a little lacking.
But it's okay.
Hinata's Byakugan flashed with a blue light, and the impact that was coming at her seemed to collide with an unseen mysterious power, making a clattering sound.
Neji's pupils contracted sharply, and he increased the speed of his palm strike, unleashing even more impact.
Hinata slowly walked towards Neji, her blue Byakugan flashing, blocking countless attacks aimed at her. She softly uttered a single word: "Rebuke."
Seeing this, Neji decisively abandoned his long-range attacks and, while his body was still able to hold on, flew towards Hinata for close combat.
"suck."
Hinata raised her hand and grabbed at Neji's figure, a powerful force pulling Neji toward Hinata.
With the combined force of the two forces moving in the same direction, Neji's figure became so fast that even the referee, Hayate Gekko, could not see him clearly.
A few beads of cold sweat appeared on Jifeng's forehead; he didn't know whether he should intervene.
Hopefully Hinata can handle this well.
As Neji watched Hinata approach, the green light on his body, which had dimmed slightly, ignited once more.
This is our last stand.
"Rebuke".
However, a single word uttered by Hinata stopped Neji in his tracks.
Looking at the young lady who was so close yet unreachable, Neji smiled helplessly, then turned to look at Hayate Gekko and let out a long sigh.
"I give up."
The flames on Neji's body disappeared, and his body fell from the sky.
"Neji-nii, you're already amazing." Hinata said earnestly, looking at Neji who was panting heavily.
"Neji, are you alright?" Tenten and Lee came over at the same time to support Neji's weak body.
"Okay, you've done great, don't look so upset." Tenten patted Neji's head, speaking to him like a mother comforting her child.
"Hinata Hyuga wins this match."
After the others left, Hinata returned to the audience and sat down next to Naruto.
"Hey." Naruto handed his arm to Hinata.
"What are you looking at? Neji's last few moves were quite powerful. Don't tell me you're fine." Naruto gently pulled up Hinata's sleeve, revealing that her once fair and delicate arm was now red.
"Oh, thank you Σ＞―(〃°ω°〃)♡→."
That makes sense. Naruto is so powerful, how could he not notice?
"Honestly, if we ever encounter an enemy like that again, we should just take him down with the power of our eyes like Sasuke did," Naruto lectured Hinata, though Sasuke beside him didn't look too happy.
Can my eyes be the same as Hinata's eyes?
I only have three tomoe, but her Byakugan is so powerful that even the Hyuga patriarch wouldn't know what's going on. Her abilities seem to be on par with the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Izuna nodded in agreement. If there had been another powerful member of the Hyuga clan like Hinata in his time, it probably would have ended up as a three-way standoff.
What the Hyuga clan lacked back then was top-tier combat power; they lacked strong individuals like Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.
Although the Tennin are stronger than other Hyuga clan members, they are still no match for Hashirama and Madara.
Luo Sha in the stands fell silent, truly silent.
If Maki were really here, he would probably be just as silent, because he would probably have been seriously injured in the fight between the two genin.
No, you call this a genin?!
If it weren't for Hinata and Neji's ages, Rasa would have really thought that Sarutobi, that shameless old man, was hiding several genin with Jonin-level strength, just waiting for this opportunity to give him a hard time.
If Sarutobi knew how Rasa thought of him, he'd probably be heartbroken. And if he were, he'd probably call that genin who was carrying the blame to participate in the Chunin Exams too. ૮₍ ˶•‸•˶₎ა
Sarutobi: You, you did it for them.
Maruhoshi Kosuke: These juniors? They seem a bit like the older generation bullying the younger ones.
That's right. If Sarutobi really wanted to bully the weak, Maruboshi Kosuke, a genin from the same era as him, would have been the perfect candidate.
With his Water Release techniques inherited from the second generation and his swordsmanship, he's not just a simple fish-smashing game.
However, if they encounter Naruto or Hinata, there's a possibility of things going wrong.
In addition, there were also the Jinchūriki brought by the other side.
"What's wrong, Lord Kazekage? The two people just now are the most outstanding children of the main and branch families of the Hyuga clan. Their strength is considered exceptional even among genin."
Rasa's expression was about to give way; you call this an outstanding genin?
You could easily put them both among the Jonin level, okay?!
While experience may not be enough, special Jonin level is definitely sufficient.
Maki, who was standing next to Rasa, kept staring into Hinata's eyes as soon as the blue light emanated from them.
When he saw Hinata controlling the repulsive and attractive forces, his pupils shrank sharply, as if he had seen something incredible, like a tower that had been built for a long time collapsing.
