If it fails, we switch to the second.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiruzen had prepared two strategies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first focused on long-range suppression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second combined ranged pressure with close-quarters assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifteen minutes passed in a blink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Kitazawa’s signal, Neji drew the YIn Bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he pulled the string back, a Yin Release Arrow formed from nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiral Arrow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chakra wrapped the arrow, causing it to spin violently as it screamed through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After crossing nearly a kilometer, it slammed into the mountain—punching straight through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s coming!\" Yakumo shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She snapped open a scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Illusion Technique: True Life!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A solid wall materialized before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain had already bled off part of the Spiral Arrow’s power; with the wall absorbing the rest, the arrow finally stalled, embedded deep within the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Change positions,\" Neji said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spiral Arrow was his most penetrating bow technique—but terrain mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neji shifted his stance and drew again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the arrow curved diagonally, bypassing the mountain entirely and striking the massive boulder Ino had dragged into place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yakumo’s pupils shrank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She opened another scroll instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A second wall rose—but without the mountain to weaken it, the Spiral Arrow tore straight through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The defense shattered in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the critical moment, Karin raised her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four sealing tags shot outward, forming a ring around the incoming Spiral Arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An invisible surge of chakra erupted, locking the arrow firmly in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing the opening, Ino flicked her wrist and sent a kunai flying, knocking the immobilized arrow aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A sealing technique?\" Neji’s eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation was growing troublesome—but he didn’t hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chakra surged violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Yin Release Arrow vanished the instant it formed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next heartbeat, it reappeared directly in front of Yakumo’s group at blinding speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a faint tremor, the arrow split into three, each locking onto each one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yakumo reacted instantly, unrolling a scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A solid wall materialized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three arrows slammed into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could relax, another Yin Release Arrow arrived—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It split again—this time into six.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yakumo hurled out another scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A second wall rose just in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six arrows struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The barrier fractured, spiderwebbing with fissures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Move!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three scattered to the sides as the wall collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of slicing air rang out again—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>another six arrows, born from a single split.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Karin—watch out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yakumo threw up a wall to shield herself and Ino, then glanced sharply toward Karin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barrier!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A circular black sealing array bloomed beneath Karin’s feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two incoming Yin Release Arrows froze in place, bound as if caught in invisible chains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sealing techniques really are terrifying,\" Yakumo said softly, impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ino nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In ordinary battles, sealing jutsu were difficult to apply effectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in open terrain—given time to prepare—they became lethal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neji frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the top eighteen, Karin had never stood out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her ranking owed more to her vast chakra reserves and solid Konoha-style taijutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now, watching her work, Neji understood—sealing techniques truly deserved their reputation as one of the most difficult disciplines to master, rivaling even medical ninjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their payoff was immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Switch to the second plan?\" Tenten asked quietly, noticing Neji’s expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s do it already,\" Tayuya snapped, pulling out her flute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first plan gave her no room to shine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it worked, all the credit would go to Neji—and that didn’t sit well with her pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neji drew the bowstring once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me try one last time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explosive Arrow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Multiple Arrows!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chakra poured out as Neji fired twice in rapid succession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strain hit him immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Yin power originated from the Yin Bow—and the Zero-Tails sealed within it—bow techniques still required his chakra as a conduit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were efficient... but not free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Explosive Arrow detonated midair, releasing a chaotic, invisible shockwave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ino and Karin felt a sharp discomfort ripple through them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the Multiple Arrows split into three and closed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, the shockwave would have stunned them—setting them up for the follow-up strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before Yakumo, the Explosive Arrow looked almost crude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lifted her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dense surge of Yin Release power poured forth, smothering the spiritual shockwave entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, she snapped open a scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wall rose and intercepted the incoming arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s enough.\" Neji spoke instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second plan—now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In theory, he could have continued draining their chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Yin Bow drew power directly from the Zero-Tails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Neji knew better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yakumo possessed overwhelming Yin Release reserves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karin was an Uzumaki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outlasting them was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neji continued firing to maintain pressure as he, Tayuya, and Tenten advanced together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viewing platform atop the Wood Dragon\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have to admit,\" Kosuke chuckled, \"Byakugan paired with a bow is downright unfair.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If their opponents weren’t Yakumo and Karin, they’d already be overwhelmed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karin’s sealing techniques could be prepared in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yakumo’sIllusion Technique: True Liferequired no hand seals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That combination alone was enough to neutralize Neji’s ranged suppression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the end, this is all thanks to Kitazawa,\" Kurenai said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Hyūga bows—Neji’s and Hinata’s—came from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She remembered theWorld-Ending ArrowKitazawa had once demonstrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neji and Hinata clearly didn’t know it—and even if they did, there was no way it could be used here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That technique carried power on par with a Tailed Beast Bomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Spiral Arrow and Multiple Arrows still lack raw power,\" Tsunade finally said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If they were stronger, Yakumo’s team would be in serious trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Agreed,\" Chen nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yakumo can endure this—but Naruto’s team? With so many taijutsu fighters, they’d struggle badly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze drifted toward the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto and Lee were practically his own students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with Hinata, another bow wielder, waiting in the next match—he couldn’t help feeling uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re the instructor for Naruto and the others—have you arranged any tactics for them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurenai glanced at Kitazawa as she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa chuckled. \"You’ll see soon enough—next match.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let’s focus on how Neji and his team deal with Yakumo first,\" Tsunade said, noticing that Neji’s group had come to a halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From where they stood, the mountain sheltering Yakumo’s team was clearly visible—though the distance between them remained considerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tenten.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neji handed the Yin Bow to her. \"This range is perfect. You’ll handle the distraction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tenten nodded calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she didn’t know bow-based secret techniques, her mastery of ninja tools was unquestionable.
