Chapter 339

Before using the Genjutsu: Bubble, he also used the Manipulated Shuriken Technique to confuse Neji Hyuga.

Aside from the fact that Sasuke Uchiha has indeed made progress, the main reason was that Neji Hyuga was caught off guard.

Coupled with the fact that he didn't know how to counter genjutsu, he ended up suffering a crushing defeat.

However, ocular genjutsu is indeed quite overpowered.

But fortunately, he will be able to possess it soon.

Following Kitazawa's announcement, the students of the two classes became restless.

Because Neji Hyuga had previously defeated Sasuke Uchiha, they were all generally optimistic about him.

But they never expected that their judgment would be wrong.

"Great!"

Sakura Haruno immediately cheered, "Sasuke-kun is indeed the most amazing!"

"Wait!"

Naruto Uzumaki asked with a blank expression, "What exactly is going on?"

The Genjutsu: Bubble only targeted Neji Hyuga.

In Naruto Uzumaki's eyes, Sasuke Uchiha's victory seemed inexplicable.

The two were clearly fighting intensely, and then suddenly Neji Hyuga stopped and jumped backward.

And after Sasuke Uchiha threw several shuriken, he easily circled behind Neji Hyuga.

"It's genjutsu."

Shikamaru Nara thought for a moment and said, "Neji was caught in a genjutsu."

"So it was genjutsu?"

Ino Yamanaka's face showed realization, and she said, "Neji didn't lose unjustly."

"Is genjutsu very powerful?"

Naruto Uzumaki scratched his head and asked.

"Ordinary genjutsu is already troublesome, and Sharingan genjutsu is the most troublesome of all."

Kiba Inuzuka explained, "If Itachi are caught in a Sharingan genjutsu, Itachi can only rely on teammates to help Itachi break it quickly."

They all came from ninja clans and had a certain understanding of genjutsu.

"Then isn't it unsolvable in a one-on-one?"

Naruto Uzumaki widened his eyes and asked.

"Theoretically, yes."

Ino Yamanaka nodded and said, "In the ninja world, there is a legend that the Uchiha are invincible in one-on-one combat."

"However, Itachi have a way to solve this problem."

Shikamaru Nara suddenly thought of something and said, "Shadow Clone Jutsu."

Shadow clones have independent consciousness, just like teammates.

Of course, the prerequisite is to summon the shadow clones before being caught in the genjutsu.

"Then I'm not afraid!"

Naruto Uzumaki breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

He doesn't have much else, but he has plenty of shadow clones.

When the monthly exam comes, he will use the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu as soon as he spars with Sasuke Uchiha.

"Then what should one do without the Shadow Clone Jutsu?"

Hinata Hyuga couldn't help but ask.

She might become Sasuke Uchiha's opponent in the next monthly exam.

Although she didn't have a strong desire to win or lose, she didn't want to let down the teachings Kitazawa had always provided.

If she could win, she certainly wouldn't want to lose.

"There is only one way left."

Shino Aburame adjusted his glasses and said, "Don't look into his eyes."

"Correct."

Shikamaru Nara echoed, "This is the method most ninjas adopt after encountering an Uchiha."

"But this is very difficult; if Itachi don't look at his eyes, it's equivalent to cutting off one of your own arms, and your strength will be greatly reduced."

Kiba Inuzuka sighed and said.

"However, the Byakugan is a different story."

Ino Yamanaka comforted, "The Byakugan can see chakra flow to judge whether he has used genjutsu."

Hinata Hyuga felt much more at ease upon hearing this.

But this still couldn't completely put her at ease; she planned to find Kitazawa after class.

"Alright, the sparring is over, let's start class now."

Kitazawa clapped his hands, stopping their discussion.

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at Neji Hyuga and walked toward the queue of Class 1-A.

He suppressed the corners of his mouth from rising, kept a straight face, and walked at a steady pace.

The students nearby cast looks of admiration, astonishment, and more toward him.

Sasuke Uchiha felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

With his great revenge fulfilled, he wished he could look up to the sky and laugh out loud.

But his remaining sense of shame prevented him from doing so.

Sasuke Uchiha now just wanted the practical training class to end early so he could go home and announce this good news to his father and brother.

In stark contrast to him was Neji Hyuga.

He returned to his original position in silence.

"Neji…"

Tenten wanted to say something but stopped, not knowing how to comfort him.

In fact, she was also very surprised.

The genius of the second year, Neji Hyuga, had actually lost twice in a row to first-year students, namely Hinata Hyuga and Sasuke Uchiha.

"I'm fine."

Neji Hyuga looked at Kitazawa.

Since he lost to Sasuke Uchiha, he had to participate in his special training.

But… Neji Hyuga still did not acknowledge Kitazawa.

Because in his view, he didn't lose to Kitazawa's special training, but to the Sharingan and genjutsu.

He didn't believe Kitazawa's special training could help Sasuke Uchiha awaken his eyes.

However, since he lost, he wouldn't go back on his word; participating in Kitazawa's special training wouldn't be a loss.

Neji Hyuga remembered that Hinata Hyuga had been participating in his special training all along.

Since talking to Hiashi Hyuga last time, and after reading Hizashi Hyuga's letter, the hatred in his heart had faded quite a bit.

Taking advantage of this special training, he could actually ease his relationship with Hinata Hyuga.

"Next, everyone will do their own thing."

Kitazawa, as usual, divided the students into two groups.

After leaving a shadow clone behind, he walked toward the training ground not far away.

"I'm going to find Teacher Kitazawa."

Neji Hyuga greeted Tenten and Rock Lee, then followed him.

But after walking a few steps, he discovered that Hinata Hyuga had the same goal.

"Neji-niisan."

Hinata Hyuga called out nervously when she saw him.

"Hinata-sama."

Neji Hyuga nodded.

"Eh?"

Hinata Hyuga couldn't help but freeze in place.

If it were the Neji Hyuga of the past, he likely would have ignored her completely.

A normal response like this was rare.

"Itachi two, come over here."

Kitazawa beckoned to them.

Neji Hyuga and Hinata Hyuga walked in front of him.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Neji Hyuga got straight to the point, "I want to participate in your special training."

"Really?"

Hinata Hyuga subconsciously showed a look of surprise.

"It's true."

Neji Hyuga glanced at her and said.

He responded to me again?

Hinata Hyuga finally realized Neji Hyuga's change.

After being stunned for a few seconds, she thought to herself that Teacher Kitazawa was truly, truly, truly amazing!

Because she was emphasizing it, she had to say "truly" three times.

In Hinata Hyuga's view, all of this started from the time Kitazawa helped her accept Neji Hyuga's challenge.

Kitazawa was slightly taken aback.

Because he discovered that the look Hinata Hyuga was giving him was full of worship, almost as if stars were popping out of her eyes.

He thought for a moment and understood what was going on.

Actually, Hinata Hyuga was also a victim of circumstance, caught up in the grievances of the older generation.

She herself had never done anything to wrong Neji Hyuga.

"Alright, come to the training ground at 8: 0 tomorrow morning to wait for me."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, Teacher Kitazawa."

Neji Hyuga looked at Hinata Hyuga and said, "Hinata-sama, I will take my leave first."

After saying this, he turned and walked toward Tenten and Rock Lee.

"Teacher Kitazawa, how did Itachi do it?"

Hinata Hyuga looked up at Kitazawa, her eyes full of curiosity and wonder.

"Secret."

Kitazawa patted her head and said, "Go train."

"Eh?"
