Chapter 308: Teaching in Konoha, the System Says I
Neji Hyuga's talent was higher than Hinata Hyuga's, and he was a year older; whether it was the Byakugan or the Gentle Fist, he learned them first.
But in just one summer vacation, Hinata Hyuga had already caught up; this was simply unreasonable.
"This is the youthful duel between taijutsu ninjas!"
Naruto Uzumaki watched with boiling blood, wishing he could join in immediately for a three-way melee.
As for why Hinata Hyuga had become so strong, his head was empty, and he directly chose to ignore it.
A cold aura emerged.
Sakura Haruno subconsciously turned her head and saw Sasuke Uchiha activating his Sharingan.
Judging by his serious expression, he must have felt it was tricky.
"Sasuke-kun, who do Itachi think will win?"
Sakura Haruno asked curiously.
"Hard to say."
Sasuke Uchiha paused and said, "But Hinata has a better chance of winning."
"Why?"
Shino Aburame adjusted his glasses and said, "I feel Neji has more experience and a stamina advantage."
"Because of these eyes of mine."
Sasuke Uchiha's mouth curled slightly, and he said very confidently, "I see it very clearly; Hinata is completely keeping up with Neji's movements."
"The Sharingan has powerful insight."
Shikamaru Nara echoed, "Since Sasuke says so, then Hinata's winning percentage must be higher."
"That's good."
Ino Yamanaka felt much more relieved.
Compared to Neji Hyuga of Class A of the second year, she naturally supported Hinata Hyuga, a classmate in her class who had a good relationship with her.
"Sasuke-kun must be right!"
Sakura Haruno immediately had hearts in her eyes.
"..."
Sasuke Uchiha suddenly felt less confident.
Can Itachi stop talking!
"That's not necessarily true."
Tenten looked at them and said, "Neji hasn't shown his true ability yet!"
"That's impossible, right?"
Kiba Inuzuka was stunned, feeling it was unbelievable.
They had already fought to this extent, and Itachi tell me he didn't use his full strength?
Is this right?
Am I attending a Ninja Academy?
Why are there such outrageous classmates?
Kiba Inuzuka fell into deep doubt for a moment.
"They have temporarily ended the battle."
Sasuke Uchiha's words made everyone stop discussing and look at the two in the arena.
"Itachi have improved a lot."
Neji Hyuga pulled away and said, panting.
It was more than just a lot; he even felt that Hinata Hyuga had become a different person, having undergone a rebirth-like change.
Is this still the Hinata Hyuga he knew?
On her, it was already hard to see the fear and nervousness of the past.
"Neji-niisan."
Hinata Hyuga took this opportunity to say what she hadn't finished saying earlier, "I only learned that fate can be changed after meeting Teacher Kitazawa."
"Absurd!"
Neji Hyuga snorted coldly and said, "A Ninja Academy teacher talking about changing fate? Hinata, your fate of defeat cannot be changed!"
He raised his hands and set up the starting stance for the Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.
Hinata Hyuga felt her heart tighten as she looked at the familiar starting stance.
But she quickly relaxed because she had Kitazawa's guidance.
In the Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, she felt she wouldn't lose to Neji Hyuga.
"Is this the Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms?"
Hiashi Hyuga in the tree suddenly widened his eyes.
Although he didn't care about Neji Hyuga's peeking when he practiced, he hadn't expected Neji Hyuga to be able to learn it.
The Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms is a secret technique of the Hyuga clan's main house.
Since it is a secret technique, the difficulty would not be low.
He couldn't imagine that Neji Hyuga could master the Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms just by stealing it without anyone teaching him.
Hiashi Hyuga's expression became serious.
He wanted to see how much Neji Hyuga had actually learned.
Hinata Hyuga set up the same stance.
The chakra in her body began to surge, causing the aura on her body to change accordingly.
Neji Hyuga was surprised to see this.
But on second thought, as a member of the main house, it would be strange if she hadn't learned the Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.
"Hinata, let me show Itachi the gap between Itachi and me."
Neji Hyuga said in a deep voice, "Just like the fate of the main house and the branch house, it cannot be changed."
"I will defeat Itachi!"
Hinata Hyuga said without fear, "Fate is just your excuse!"
"What do Itachi know?"
Neji Hyuga suddenly became angry when he heard the word 'excuse'.
"Please enlighten me."
Hinata Hyuga's body suddenly moved forward, and her palms struck toward two points on his body.
But in the next second, Neji Hyuga met her with the same palms.
A large amount of chakra whistled out.
Hinata Hyuga felt her body stall and couldn't help but take half a step back.
In terms of chakra, she really couldn't compare to Neji Hyuga.
After all, she was younger.
"This is your fate!"
Seeing this, Neji Hyuga's body erupted with even more powerful chakra.
Palm after palm, chakra air waves rolled, and between his palms, gusts of whistling sounds were stirred up.
Although every palm was blocked, under his powerful offensive, Hinata Hyuga appeared to be in a precarious situation.
"Neji is going to win!"
Tenten's eyes lit up, and she said in an excited tone.
"Is Hinata really going to lose?"
A look of worry appeared on Ino Yamanaka's face.
"The one-year gap is still hard to cross."
Kiba Inuzuka said in a deep voice, "But Hinata has done very well; she was just a little bit away from winning."
"Not necessarily."
Sasuke Uchiha saw that Neji Hyuga's so-called upper hand was based on a chakra advantage.
"Hinata! Go for it!"
Naruto Uzumaki shouted loudly.
He was the class monitor now, so he naturally had to fully support his classmates.
Driven by him, many students in Class A of the first year began to cheer for Hinata Hyuga.
"Useless effort!"
Neji Hyuga heard the cheering, took a deep breath, and said, "It's time to end this, Hinata!"
His movements changed, and his palms poured out like flowing water.
In the blink of an eye, the first eight palms of the Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms were struck out in one breath.
Wrong!
Neji Hyuga widened his eyes.
He originally thought Hinata Hyuga could at most block five or six of his palms, but as it turned out, she blocked them all.
Hinata Hyuga tightened her small face and struck the ninth and tenth palms.
Two palms struck Neji Hyuga's chest.
"Fate cannot decide anything."
Hinata Hyuga looked at him and said earnestly.
"..."
Neji Hyuga took two steps back and spat out blood as he opened his mouth.
"Neji-niisan, are Itachi okay?"
Seeing this, Hinata Hyuga was a little panicked; she hadn't expected her two palms to have such great power.
She quickly walked forward, supported Neji Hyuga, and then subconsciously looked at Kitazawa.
"He's fine."
Kitazawa walked forward, placed his hand on Neji Hyuga's chest, and performed a healing jutsu.
Although he spat blood, it was actually just a minor injury.
After all, Hinata Hyuga was only six years old, and she had subconsciously held back, so it wasn't as serious as imagined.
Of course, for Neji Hyuga, the mental blow he received was far greater than the physical injury.
Hinata Hyuga, whom he had always regarded as a loser, had defeated him, and it was a fair and square defeat.
Why did it turn out like this?
Neji Hyuga had always believed that his talent was higher than Hinata Hyuga's.
And he had awakened his eyes earlier and learned the Gentle Fist earlier, already having an advantage, yet he still lost to her.
Doesn't this mean that the one who is truly talented is actually Hinata Hyuga?
The students of Class A of the second year looked at each other.
Losing to Yakumo Kurama could be said to be a taijutsu ninja being restrained by a genjutsu ninja.
But losing to Hinata Hyuga had no reason.
