Naruto: If I ask you to practice gentle fist, will you drive a Gundam?

In the lounge, Neji and Shino watched the game broadcast quietly.

The match between Shikamaru and Temari went just as Neji had expected.

At first, Shikamaru was bothered by the trouble and kept complaining that he had no motivation, but Temari gradually aroused his desire and he gradually became serious.

Although there was no hole in the ground in the competition venue this time because Neci killed Naruto in an instant, Shikamaru could think of too many strategies to control Temari.

But it will also be more time-consuming.

Fortunately, he managed to control Temari in the end, and Shikamaru raised his hands in surrender as expected.

There were no surprises in the subsequent matches, but there was nothing particularly outstanding either, and all the remaining players were Konoha ninjas.

Soon, the first round ended, and after a short intermission, the second round began.

The first match of the second round is between Hyuga Neji and Gaara.

Previously, because he had a bye in the first game, Gaara had been waiting alone. After waiting for a whole round of games, he couldn't help but become a little anxious. At this time, the first round of games had just ended, and Gaara came to the center of the competition venue, waiting for his opponent.

Not long after, Neji also arrived at the competition venue and smiled at Gaara.

"Second round, first match, Hyuga Neji vs. Gaara!"

Seeing that both sides had arrived, Shiranui Genma began to announce the start of the match:

"The second game officially begins!"

With Xuanjian's order, the second round of competition officially began.

If the first round of competition is just an appetizer, then the second round is the highlight, because the ninjas who can reach this stage are all elite Genin who have been selected through layers of selection.

After the signal to start the game was given, Neji and Gaara stood in the center of the venue and saluted silently, showing a sense of mutual respect.

But it was not a good idea to continue to be in a stalemate like this, so Gaara, who was a little anxious, spoke first:

"Baiyan guy, I think your name is Neji, right?"

"Yes, Gaara."

Unlike Gaara's anxiety, Neji was calm and composed.

"Ningji, I told you before that we'll be enemies the next time we meet. I didn't expect it to come so soon!"

Gaara spoke word by word, seeming very serious and excited.

"Yes, that's right. I remember what you said. I have wanted to fight you for a long time!"

Neji replied to Gaara while taking a soft fist stance.

"Oh well!"

Gaara also released chakra, and sand gradually floated around him.

Neji was naturally fully confident about this match. Although Gaara was known for his perfect defense, he had a fatal weakness. Once this layer of sand armor was broken, he would only be able to take a beating.

So there are two ways to break through the sand armor, one is speed and the other is skill.

Moreover, Neji, who possesses Kamui and top-level jonin speed, would never be trapped by Gaara's sand coffin.

I can grasp the opponent's weaknesses and avoid their strengths, so what's the suspense?

All these thoughts only took a moment. After all, Neji's intelligence was now at the peak of the level of a jonin, so it was easy for him to come up with a few combat plans.

The plan was formulated, and Neji raised his palms and rushed straight towards Gaara, with a speed that surprised Gaara.

Brush brush!

Although Gaara was panicking, he still did not forget to attack with sand, but Neji dodged all of them by jumping.

After all, in the eyes of the top-level jonin, no matter how fast Gaara's sand is, it is just slow motion.

Otherwise, in the original plot, Might Guy would not have been able to disperse the sand that Gaara used to chase Rock Lee so easily.

In just a moment, Neji had come close to Gaara and punched him straight in the face with his fists.

Because the speed was too fast, Gaara had no time to react at all. The sand instinctively protected Gaara, but because it was too hasty, only a thin layer was gathered.

Snapped!

Neji's fist easily broke through Gaara's layer of sand defense and hit him on the side of the face.

Rub, rub, rub!

Gaara was hit on the side of the face and flew out directly, and only stopped when he hit a tree.

This scene stunned all the audience.

First up, Temari and Kankuro.

Not to mention the Chunin Tournament, they have never seen Gaara being beaten in their entire lives.

The sand armor that claimed to be able to defend against all attacks was broken through so easily.

Two questions inevitably emerged in their minds:

The first question is why is this Konoha ninja so powerful?

The second question is whether this operation should continue?

Since Gaara had never revealed his true strength before, most of the Genin could not tell how powerful the defense was that Neji's punch broke.

However, some senior ninjas were still able to discern the value of Neji's punch.

"Ningji, this kid... I didn't expect he has mastered such skills. The young are truly to be feared!"

Might Guy stared at Neci in a daze, and there was no word like youth and passion in his words, because now he clearly felt how terrifying Neci was, and he might not be able to defeat Neci easily without opening the Eight Gates, so he had no intention of joking at all.

Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yuhi and other senior ninjas standing by were also staring in a daze, wondering if they could defend against Neji's move if they were in his place.

This is true for all the jonin, not to mention the other chuunins.

And in the Kage-level audience seats, the Kazekage's eyes never left Neji.

Orochimaru originally came for Sasuke and the Third Hokage, but now he has a new target - Hyuga Neji.

Back at the center of the venue, Neji waited gracefully for Gaara to stand up again, and was not in a hurry to chase and kill him, because he knew that the game would not last long.
