Naruto: If I ask you to be Naruto, you will become a yellow-haired person?

Chapter 101: Monstrous Strength First Displayed (Seeking Subscriptions!)

Iruka frowned, watching the two figures chasing and dodging each other in the arena, his heart filled with anxiety.

In his view, the situation in the arena was clearly one-sided.

Neji Hyuga had a solid foundation, and with the advantage of the first move, his palms unleashed a dense and impenetrable barrage of Gentle Fist strikes, leaving Naruto with almost no chance to retaliate.

He could only twist and dodge, and with each evasion, if struck by Neji's Gentle Fist technique,

the blockage of chakra points would inevitably lead to even slower movements for Naruto.

Consequently, he would be struck by the Gentle Fist palm winds more and more frequently, ultimately leading to defeat.

This was like cutting flesh with a dull knife!

Mizuki, on the other hand, initially revealed a hint of malicious glee on his face.

But then he gritted his teeth in secret, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.

This Neji Hyuga, they had been touting him as some kind of super genius of the Hyuga clan.

Yet after fighting for so long, he hadn't even touched the clothes of that fox demon brat, Naruto!

Punch harder and with more force, you idiot! Teach that fox demon brat a lesson!

And that fox demon brat, give me some effort! It would be best if you both end up injured!

Neji Hyuga's Gentle Fist, glowing with a faint blue chakra light, struck out, accompanied by the whistling and explosive sounds of fierce air currents, the palm winds sharp and menacing.

Neji Hyuga sneered and said sternly.

"Naruto Uzumaki, it seems your hand-to-hand combat skills aren't as tough as your verbal skills. Are you just daring to play hide-and-seek with me?!"

"How can someone like you be worthy of Lady Tsunade's attention?"

Naruto focused all his attention on observing Neji Hyuga's palms, which were constantly surging with chakra.

His expression remained calm, and he didn't bother to respond to Neji Hyuga for the moment.

He had been sparring with Neji Hyuga for a while.

Just to see what was so exquisite about the Gentle Fist, hailed as invincible in close combat, combined with the Byakugan, which was said to be able to see through everything.

As a result, he briefly felt that.

The legendary Byakugan, one of the two great dojutsu of the ninja world, was not as strong as the original story suggested.

It was far from being comparable to the Sharingan, which had numerous effects, considerable power, and was almost perfect.

If they were to create distance in a real battle, the Byakugan would almost only be useful as a long-range reconnaissance tool, like a telescope.

Having gained a rough understanding, Naruto chuckled.

"Is that so?!"

Suddenly, he stopped his constantly dodging and gliding figure, planted his feet firmly, and stood in place.

He coldly stared at Neji Hyuga, who was slightly out of breath not far away.

Continuously activating the Byakugan while simultaneously maintaining a high-intensity Gentle Fist offensive stance,

was clearly not easy for Neji Hyuga, who was still only a second-year student at the Ninja Academy, in terms of chakra and stamina consumption.

Seeing Naruto no longer continue to dodge, Neji Hyuga, whose forehead was slightly covered with fine sweat that was absorbed by the white bandages wrapped around it, revealed a look of joy on his face.

If Naruto Uzumaki continued to kite and dodge like this, he might not really be able to keep fighting due to the Byakugan's considerable chakra consumption.

Neji Hyuga's eyes narrowed, and he gritted his teeth as all his chakra surged.

His figure swayed forward, quickly pouncing, his feet heavily stepping out in strange patterns on all sides. The ground that Neji Hyuga stepped on cracked under the force, leaving behind marks of varying depths.

The force on his palms surged, turning into streams of fist and palm afterimages.

Seeing Neji Hyuga, who had previously seemed slightly tired, suddenly increase his momentum and become swift, the crowd in the arena.

The crowd was filled with exclamations of surprise and shock.

"What kind of ninjutsu is that?"

"How did Neji Hyuga's palm technique suddenly become more powerful and courageous?"

"Is that also the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist?!"

Hinata, on the other hand, narrowed her pure white eyes even more upon seeing this, and suddenly subconsciously reached out her small hand to cover her mouth, exclaiming in a失声声。

"Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms?!"

Ino, seeing Naruto at a disadvantage, had her little heart on edge, her beautiful eyebrows tightly furrowed, filled with worry.

Hearing Hinata's exclamation at this moment, her heart tightened even more.

She hurriedly grabbed Hinata's arm, which was tightly covered by the training uniform, and asked what palm technique it was.

Before Hinata could answer, Hayate Gekko, who was watching from the side with bags under his eyes and a pale face, explained in amazement.

"Gentle Fist Art: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, the legendary Hyuga clan's close-combat secret technique, capable of attacking the opponent's chakra points by simultaneously unleashing sixty-four palm strikes!"

"However, Neji at this age should only be able to barely execute a few strikes."

Even Iruka, on both sides of the field, was stunned at first by Neji Hyuga's unfamiliar and powerful fist technique.

Listening to Hayate Gekko's explanation, his scarred face was filled with admiration and amazement.

"The superb combat power and powerful ninjutsu that Neji is displaying now are more than enough for even a Chunin in the Hidden Leaf Village."

Iruka looked at Naruto's face with some worry. Then he exchanged a glance with Hayate Gekko and nodded. His body muscles tensed, ready to step in and rescue him at any time.

Listening to the praise from his two colleagues, Mizuki's usually gentle face flashed with distortion and jealousy.

Chunin, that was a position he had painstakingly managed to barely achieve.

This damn Hyuga brat had obtained it so easily!

"Now you know who the weakling is, right?!"

A sneer flashed across Neji Hyuga's face as he closed in, his palms surrounded by surging force.

Suddenly, a surge of scarlet, vast, and grand chakra surged from Naruto's body.

It rushed directly towards Neji Hyuga, who was pouncing forward.

Caught off guard, Neji Hyuga's continuous and precise Eight Trigrams steps suddenly became disordered.

He staggered backward a few steps as if he was drunk, the chakra between his palms and within his body churning and rolling non-stop.

Neji Hyuga looked dazed, his head buzzing from the shock.

His pupils contracted in shock as he stared at Naruto.

What is this?! Is it chakra? Why is the amount so vast and grand?

It was also scarlet, like a viscous liquid, carrying a disgusting, sweet smell.

Then, he saw Naruto gather chakra at his feet and casually kick a stone at his feet.

With a "Boom!" sound, the air let out a tragic explosion.

The instantaneous white stone, like a meteor, grazed past Neji Hyuga's cheek, the strong air current lifting his long black hair.

Neji Hyuga's eyes, covered with fine lines, contracted sharply again.

The water in the training ground pool not far behind him stirred up monstrous waves, the white waves rising in two rows.

In an instant, with a "Peng Ka" sound, at the end of his vision,

a towering tree with the thickness of an embrace burst open at the waist, its upper half of lush green trunk slowly falling down.

It crashed into the lake with a "Rumble", splashing up white foam and waves.

At this time, Neji Hyuga reacted, his face pale, the skin next to his cheek still stinging from the residual wind swirls.

He naturally saw that Naruto had shown mercy, deliberately deviating from the line, otherwise...

Icy sweat broke out from his back, and his whole body inexplicably felt weak.
